It is not "balanced" to set the speeches of Goebbels against the speeches of FDR!

Whoops, pardon me for my mistake. And when did you make it back, Franklin?

Talk about changing the subject in order to try to debate rather than talk. Let's back up. I simply remarked that, in reply to your comment that SFD could find no wrong with Arafat, I thought that was not exactly correct and that his arguments balanced yours in which you could find no wrong with Sharon. Goebbels and FDR!! Please.

As for whether you've got the "facts" on your side or SFD has on his, I would rather watch the two of you argue about it and see which particular "fact" makes the most sense. I doubt either of you have a pipeline.

John, Fisk has told a number of proven lies about Israel, then whined how he's being smeared by his enemies for criticizing Sharon when he is criticized for his lies.

As for Fisk, I could say some of the same things about some of the posts you offer to the thread. My point was that posters should feel encouraged to post diverse views and we should all feel encouraged to criticize those views.

Am I under an obligation to be as accepting of the words of liars as of honest men?

Even women. No, of course not. You're missing the point. I plan to criticize, vigorously, some of the stuff you post. I have a problem only when someone insists other points of view should not be posted. Fisk made an excellent point about the consequences of calling all criticisms of the Sharon government antisemitism.
