And I'm not sure if salon ran something similar before. Most of their entertaining writers are pretty huge fans of the show, and this article was actually republished in salon from a different source (they've started subcontracting/republishing a lot of stuff from secondary sources lately).

Not to single you out, but trying to suss out the evolution of language [a 'lens' I like to apply, if you will]. But when you see allegations of things like racism, or bigotry, . . . expand it however you will, 'evil' 'craven' 'partisan,' whatever emotionally charged words you wish, does it have an attendant surge of emotion for you? Or is it like describing something as yellow, or liquid, or rambling, . . . terms less emotionally charged by tradition?
