You have no idea who I hate. To me Mitt Romney is on the same footing as George Soros or the Easter bunny. I've never met them. They are notions that live in my head based on things I've heard and read about them in the media. I might dislike the idea of them or what they've supposedly done but to hate them would be absurd.

To say that mutual hatred of Santa Claus-level figures is a starting point for discourse says a lot about your attitude. Please review the HN commenting guidelines.
