Exaggerated venom

Gil Troy rails against just about everybody and everything in a recent column (“The anything-goes election, to keep Bibi from going to jail,” Center Field, September 11), but especially against Netanyahu.

The following adjectives/verbs are employed to describe the prime minister: despicable demagoguery, demonization, stink bombs, mastered morally bankrupt dark arts, polarizing partnership and xenophobia, browbeats and pot-stirs, Mr. Low Road, ruthless, brutal, disfigures democracy, democracy bashing.

Prof. Troy starts his Center Field comment with “when lawyers’ arguments weaken, they pound the table harder. When politicians stumble, they pound democracy.”

I would add: when publicists exude exaggerated venom, their comments look both frenzied and hysterical.
