Find the Toxic Activist

http://cltampa.com/tampa/find-the-toxic-activist/Content?oid=2842062

Sample:
"if these folks listened more, they’d have a chance to attract someone to their side. But the toxic among us would rather spend time wondering why they keep losing elections.

When they spread rumors about an ideology to which I subscribe, the result isn’t a holy light shining down on me from above while I yell, “You’re right! You’re so right!” The result is that from now on, I approach hyperbolic statements with skepticism.

They’re lying about me, so they must be lying about everything."

We all know some people who fit this.
