"What have I posted that is clear evidence of a lack of common sense?"

The fact that you think that the administration has "fully cooperated" with the investigation just because this author says so: "I wrote that because only 25 percent of poll respondents said they thought that the administration had fully cooperated with the investigation — a woefully small proportion given that the facts indicate that they are right."

He says facts and you blindly accept his statement as factual, even though someone with common sense would think: "Do you really expect them to admit it if they weren't cooperating fully?" Obviously they would not admit it. If you were honest you would admit that you cannot PROVE that they are fully cooperating. You are just willing to accept their word for it.

What have I posted that is clear evidence of "true believer" status?

The above is one example. He says "factual" and you accept it.

Another evidence is your manner of expression. With me you have framed a lot of your posts around the idea that you are "right" and I am "wrong". Want some examples?

"Still you get it completely wrong."

"Again you perception of reality is completely wrong."

This is the language of a true believer. He is right and everyone else is wrong.

What have I posted that "required" anyone to agree something
is "factual" just because I say so?

"...."You asserted that it is a fact that the administration has fully cooperated with this Plame investigation."

I asserted nothing of the sort. However, the article I posted
was factually correct based on the information publicly
available."

So istead of you asserting the statement you post another person asserting it and then agree his atatement is factually correct" And then you accuse me of being "completely wrong" because I have the common sense to understand that IF the administration was not fully cooperating we would be the last to find out about it.

And then you go off accusing me of being separated from reality. Really you are just a waste of time. You are judgemental, self-righteous and not willing to admit that your point of view is just that, a point of view, not "the absolute truth".
