Okay, one more time.

No, John, you are the one who translates what I say into "dupes." Don't twist my words into your version and then try to shoot me down with it.

You've seen my comment that the phrase "playing like a violin" is simply a different (and more interesting way, by the way) to say they are simply dupes of an opponent and thus that critics of the Bush administration are dupes. It is what it is, friend.

We just went though this with you when we discussed the fact that ANSWER was a group of communists, which they are. You twisted this into "McCarthyism," and then blasted us for saying this.

No, that's a misstatement of what I said. I have no idea whether Answer is communist, socialist, libertarian, or anarchists but your comment was that because they were such disreputable sorts, the protests were such. That's what I object to.

Your turn. I'm on to other things.
