it's easy to say ignore those people. when it couple late over time, it does get to you. i'm not inclined to be affected by things like that. i grew up in new york city and i'm a tough girl, a brooklyn girl. i thought of kid in school. i'm a former dean and former teacher. going online and facing those personal attacks and how they would process that information. i started to realize how social media and how it has ballooned without us facing consequences. parents have to have these considerations with their kids. howie: was it hard for you -- you have stories about yourself in the book to be the only con/libertarian voice. >> i did get a ton of people when i left the show thank me
