To the Editor:
Re “Leaving Europe for a Lie” (column, June 28):
Roger Cohen begins by referring to the “stupidity” of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, tossing in phrases like “lies of the charlatans” and a “betrayal of British youth.” For good measure, he concludes by calling the outcome an “imbecilic vote.”
This is why those on the right are so frustrated by those on the left. Whenever the left doesn’t get its way, it resorts to over-the-top name calling. It’s hard to have an intelligent conversation when one side throws a tantrum.

Note from KBJ: Morons such as Roger Cohen don't know how to argue, in the sense of persuade rationally. They emote. That's it. That's all they have.
