"Tim: I won't argue with you " I understand. It's hard to refute the truth & appear credible, isn't it? BTW, one can be a patriot & disagree with his political leaders & express their dissent openly. That is perfectly legitimate regardless of my personal feelings. My problem is when folks like you & your peers hide behind the ruse of dissent, when in reality you are clearly involved in political propaganda & hate mongering with its' main thesis based upon lies, distortions & misinformation.

Scott, I have refrained from posting into this brouhaha, but if I may make an observation. From the election of GWB going forward, your postings convinced me that you were very displeased with the outcome. No surprise there. Most democrats took the same stand and I respected that. At that time, I still felt that you were in a semi journalistic mode. I.E., your postings, while laced with resentment of the current administration, were somewhat informative and I continued to read them. For the past few months (how many is what I don't know) leading up to the war, it has become obvious what your intentions have been. While a journalists' charge is to report the news, they have the responsibility to be accurate and remain somewhat unbiased (we all know that doesn't happen, but at least there is a modicum of that, even in what someone like Dan Rather does). IMO, this is where you made a break and unfortunately, turned into a propaganda machine. Your prejudiced postings have left me and others with a basic decision. If I lean to the left, I might read what you're posting. If I lean to the right, I might read what you're posting. Beyond that, I feel that the only audience that will give you "attaboys" are those whose leanings are to the left and beyond. I do not question your patriotism, but because of my personal beliefs, and by the way three quarters of my fellow countrymen, many of us have simply chosen to ignore what you post. It is to be expected that some of that majority will chose to be more vocal than others. For that, I'm sorry, but I understand why they do what they do. You still have my admiration for your convictions, but not my attention.
