@20, 23, 33, I am no troll and I take exception to the claim or any hint otherwise. I've been reading the blog for a few years now and I felt strongly about something and I reacted, uninvited and without any "ticket," though. My apologies.
In the minority I am, but the whole thing struck me as not nice (sure, from TexDoc's rudeness, too, and the best reason, of course, to dish it right back in earnest!), Jim's "coherent barrage of facts" using a "rhetorical tactic." Ouch.
Wait a minute, here, folks. I'm afraid you haven't proved anything against TexDoc. Mr. Macdonald pulled out a rape kit that centered around evidence gathering, but so what? Did anyone ever stop to think that it was possible that "rape kits" could be of more than one type and have different areas of focus? Is there only one kind of rape kit in this country, or could there be, maybe, a couple different types used in the legal and medical fields? Is it that unlikely that another rape kit could possibly center more around health care and disease prevention than the apparently legal one Mr. Macdonald had to describe in such a detailed way? And... I really found Mr. Macdonald's response to TexDoc to be rude, hollier-than-though, snarky, and over the top (e.g., "What does that have to do with health care, Doctor?" continuously.)
The argument should go a tad deeper than whether or not Palin is simply charging victims for evidence collection.
