I'll be brief:

Here's another thing that drives me up the wall:

When one side rears its ugly head and demands that the other side, for instance, "DENOUNCE that supporter of yours!"

Politically, it's just about as disingenuous as we can get, whoever does it. Because let's face it: we get a helluva lot more political mileage out of someone NOT denouncing his outrageous supporter (say, McCain and Hagee/Parsley?) than out of his capitulation to the "pressure."
