You substituted characterizations by others for Democratic statements. In this last post, you did some more distorting, I see. I did some research on Denton, including a quote characterizing Kerry as treasonous, and posted it. I posted more, too. Message 20293174 Either the Democrats gratuitously objected to Denson's talk (where is it? Why haven't the Republicans published the text?) or they had reason. What I found about Denson indicates to me that the choice of him was made in the interest of Republican partisan politics. I sincerely hope for the sake of your clients you're only pretending not to comprehend that.I do find it interesting that you're essentially comparing Moore to Denton. Given your scathing characterization of Denton, does this mean that you consider Moore the left's version? Again you distort. It was Wesley Clark I suggested speak, along with a showing of F. 9/11, and I asked you if Clark's speaking, and F. 9/11 being shown, would have seemed to you an appropriate July 4th celebration, if proposed by Democrats. Answer the question, please. Oh! You aren't "interested in hypotheticals"! Gee, I wonder why! You would be, if answering that question wouldn't reveal your dishonesty about the Denton issue. I do find it interesting that you're essentially comparing Moore to Denton. Given your scathing characterization of Denton, does this mean that you consider Moore the left's version? I haven't seen F. 9/11 and I'm not an admirer of Moore in general (and didn't see Columbine either), as I've said on SI a number of times. I would think that the hypothetical Wesley Clark/F.911 program for the July 4 "podium" was inappropriate. Would you? The difference between you and me is that you're willing to defend that stance without even knowing the details. You just fill in the blanks as they suit you. You don't know the details, even as much as I found, and you are mouthing off (dishonestly) about this issue. The actual difference between you and me is that I am willing to say that I would opposed a partisan July 4 "ceremony" whichever party proposed it and you hide behind "I'm not interested in hypotheticals." I find it difficult to believe that someone with zero critical thinking skills passed the bar in any state of the union, but now that I know you're a lawyer, I see that your distortions may not reflect inadequacy as much as professionally-inculcated intellectual dishonesty. I'm quite proud that I detected that in your posts.
