Well, I dunno much about Lassie's "leftards", but......I think there could be a credible view on why DonnyT. gets so much attention from everybody (not just so-called 'leftards').
It's like this, remember the noisy clown perched on the little seat above the dunk-tank at the carnival midway? Sure you do.
Does anybody remember the guy who quietly took your money and gave you the three baseballs to throw at him? Of course not. No one does.
But the clown? Oh, hell yeah!
Why? Well, because he had a very loud mouth with the sole intention of drawing your attention and paying more money to the ticket-guy. Duh!
And so it is, with the notorious game-show host, DonnyT. He barks, he wails, he shrills, he's loud.
And he gets hardballs thrown at him.
Duh x2!!
