Maybe everyone is a little too sensitive?

There are those here who condemn vehemently the NYT, but as soon as an article is published that reflects their view,it is posted here with nary a blush.

There are those who will post Daniel Pipes , even though his views are extremely anti-Muslim and anti-Arab, without a moment of reflection that he holds these racist views.

Rush L. should NOT be posted for very obvious reasons. He is the most racist and extremely ignorant person I have ever had the displeasure of ignoring.Now he has other problems that does nothing more than highlight his hypocrisy.

Robert Fisk is an esteemed writer of notariety.He tells em as he sees em,and that, no doubt, gets the true believer's panties in a knot.

The Jenin episode was discussed at length here.It was NOT Fisk who responsible for that " massacre " line,but he was attacked with prejudice incessantly here by the usual Israeli apologists.

The fact that it wasn't ugly enough to be considered a " massacre " by those who need absolute definitions to properly ( in their minds at least ) describe the situation, should not have been any less disgusting in the fact that an entire refugee camp was wiped out, killing dozens of innocent people and leaving them homeless and more destitute than they already were,if that was possible.

And on it goes,with those who don't like to read opposing views, splintering off to their little havens of right wing propaganda and banning those who dare to argue their points of view.Politics for pros they call it.More like politics bros, ifin ya askes me.<<GGG>>

There are enough right wing crazed threads on SI.I consider Si a microcosm of American, and sometimes International, discussion.See what happens when opposing voices are declared anti American and Un-patriotic and not allowed to be heard?

You get a war based on lies and deceit that was NOT properly challenged, and an aftermath that grows worse by the day,with many now looking for a way out to save their political arses.

So...it will have to all or none Ken.IMHO.

Your choice my friend.
