Card really lost me when I read an article I'm sure was his, about how people who voted for Bush in 2004 were voting with their hearts, their guts, and shame on anyone who could hate them for it. I think there was the implication that people who care about gay rights, liberation, equality, must therefore be appealing only to talking points and rhetoric but not their hearts, because surely nobody in their right mind cares about people who are different than themselves. The recent Republican experience is surely a matter of people following what they feel is right, and their feelings can't be wrong.
People recommended his novels to me, but I think I'm put off items of his which might actually be written well, which is too bad.
