Re: What does that tell us about the "Right?" Uhh, that they are unclear on the concept? I always thought this thread was dedicated to exposing the rotten underbelly of the Bush Administration so that we could get on with the impeachment proceedings. The Right seems to have pointless distraction as its primary goal; and fawning praise for corruption and bully-boy malevolence as the underlying theme of their benighted existence. BWDIK?

I've noticed that 95% of the name calling on this thread comes from "Conservatives." I have to disagree with Ray. Ray implies that there was some conscious decision to make a "distraction" using name calling. Let me use two recent examples. Most recently, Dave. He admittedly knows nothing about any of the opinions of the 9th circuit court, yet by some miraculous event, he knows they are wrong. Another recent example was by Mike, who again admittedly knows nothing of substance on any of the protectionist policies of the Bush Administration. Perhaps two cases are insufficient to claim a pattern, but I think if one were to review prior posts, you could identify the consistent pattern. I'll compliment Dave and Mike for publicly acknowledging that they are ignorant of the facts; that's guts. On the other hand to plead ignorance and then assert a position in ignorance...isn't too swift. That illustrates my point. These folks aren't bright enough to develop a strategy of "distraction". Some one would have to tell them to do it. Alternatively, they are mimicing the behavior that they see. I believe this is the case. They admit that they are Rush listeners and admirers. It's a technique that Rush uses throughout his show. jttmab

JLA is a bit more blunt than I prefer, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. jttmab, on the other hand? Since he's already taken a swipe at me, I'll take one at him. He is the smuggest hypocrite out there. He challenges strongly held points of view but offers none of his own, nor any rationale of his own. He expects people to know all kinds of obscure balderdash that he has time to dredge up but others don't need because they have views based on principles. He likes to badmouth somebody's mother's army boots and then carp about it because he gets a reaction. That's what he really enjoys. The facts and beliefs don't matter to him because he's so convinced of his superior intellect that he doesn't have to justify his own arguments. I quit reading Raymond Duray long ago. He is too dangerous and I want nothing to do with him. He knows my town and I don't want him coming back here. That we are fed up trying to educate dumbasses like you.... JLA
