You included articles which incorporated the word traitor (not a good idea, imo) and posts where traitor or traitors was used in quotes, quoting someone else using it, or where it was used as a joke (and the person using the quotes was sometimes using the quotation to show there was something wrong with calling people traitors), and very oddly you have put Prolife in as a liberal. And you used a post (in the liberal category) in which the word traitor was being applied to the Christian Lebanese, and which had nothing to do with what we were talking about on SI. It's silly AND bizarre to use that kind of data. Note- the fact that I think your sampling technique is silly and bizarre is NOT name calling of you. You seem to think it is, but I have no comment to make of you, only on the way you sampled the data. If you looked at my searches of BOTH traitor and traitors you will see that I read every post, explained my methodology (no articles, no posts where traitor was talking about Benedict Arnold or the Xtian Lebanese, etc.) I don't know how you can think you did a good job here with your "facts", but it's quite clear you do. I find your survey riddled with flaws, and worthless. (Note- just to reiterate, that means I have a problem with your survey, it is not name calling of you, and is not meant to reflect on anything other than the data set you have presented.)
