--The truth of the matter is that Bush is sub par in the intellectual department... -- you may be carrying that assumption to your own detriment...

You recanted only after your position was shown to be deeply flawed. By your own admission, you knew your position was flawed before I posted, but you did not recant until the flaw was made public. I would have recanted the very minute I saw my error. But, of course, I am not a leftist. I have integrity. Surely you are not so dense that you cannot understand the larger implication of your post to Gordon. When Gordon first posted the transcript, you boisterously claimed it a fake based upon an assumption that now even you agree is flawed. But on the basis of this flawed assumption, you also implied that Gordon was a liar, saying "You wingers will lie about anything." Message 19646238. The fact is, Gordon very likely was not lying at all. He may honestly have thought the transcript was legitimate. Yet you refuse to acknowledge this and you refuse to offer the guy an apology, allowing your claim of his being a liar to stand. Please remember: this claim of yours is based upon assumptions that even you agree are flawed. It is just leftist to call the guy a liar based upon your own flawed assumptions, continuing to claim him a liar even after acknowledging the flaw upon which the claim is based. Leftists do the same thing to the President, claiming he is lying based upon assumptions that are every bit as flawed as those you used to make your claim against Gordon. Yall ought to be better than you are (but I won't expect it of you).
