I take you at your word that you weren&#x27;t trying to make a political point, per se, nor do I mean to accuse you of that.  However, my point (somewhat sarcastically made) is that your &quot;too obvious to mention&quot; point is necessarily a political position and statement.  That outrageous rhetoric that&#x27;s coming from the right is by-and-large not seen as outrageous by them; and of course their statements are completely and obviously outrageous to those that oppose them.  Whether your intent is to make a political point or not, you invariably do so once you make a judgmental statement about one side or the other; even if your circle of friends finds such a fact as nothing more than a casual observation useful for demonstrating a point.<p>There... now we&#x27;ve both made non-political points by making use of inherently political statements.
