Salon becomes more unreadable to reasoned liberals every day

Another example.

As soon the author claimed that buying a property is "violence" I was lost.  There might be some legitimate points in the piece but when you engage in ridiculous hyperbole it undermines the entirety of the argument.  Why not just scream "Nazi" or "Hitler"?

It minimizes real violence as well.  I seem to remember some Salon outrage a few weeks ago when Bobby Knight equated something to "Rape".  Why doesn't this author receive the same amount of outrage.

Trying to shock us into making something worse than it really is by equating it to scary words that you expand the definition of is the tactic of the right wing, but I see it more and more on Salon...the new voice of the Left Wing Tea Party.
