What's funny is that people who get called on behavior/belief whatever who get mad because they've been nailed get mad because they KNOW they're being called on a valid point.

In other words, if you call someone a bigot because they sneer at Republicans and consider them stupid, bible thumping, and just not as good as they are, they'll flip out....because they know it's true. They know they're bigots, and they think they can fool everyone, and they get mad when they get caught.
