Bullsky - I've always respected your on-topic posts, and you have a great sense of humor and a sharp wit.

Let me clarify a few things before your paint brush gets too broad.

Don't like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or Loius Farrakhan.
Don't like excessive political correctness
Don't tolerate bigotry in any form
Don't particularly like Al Gore, either, but enough of his political beliefs are in line with mine to vote for him. May have voted for McCain given half a chance, but never had the chance.

Your oratory was very effective. Paint me as a pinhead liberal who either by design or by association supports reverse bigotry. Then I have to wade into the muck and try to separate the facts from the hyperbole. Sorry, not going to bite.

Are you saying that because you don't like someone, it gives you the right to abridge their 1st amendment rights? I hope not. That's also a "slippery slope".

That was a rhetorical question by the way, no need to answer. I didn't want my silence to imply I somehow approved of the bigotry and lawlessness you described. I have investments to attend to, and I've spent entirely too much time chit-chatting about politics. I've served my time being the token "lefty" <g>. Back to lurk mode.

You can have the last word if you want <ggg>.
