>><< "Allen's repeated use of the word Macaca...." >> Please document the "repeated" usage. I'm only aware of it being mentioned in one event. The Washington Post is now over 160 articles covering the story, most of it front page above the fold - all negative & so overtly biased it is an obvious smear job. Can you name one similar instance where, in the heat of an election campaign, the WAPO or any other major MSM outlet went screaming yellow zonkers over something a well known Dem politician said that turned out to be a trivial matter, yet they just kept on pounding away with an obvious smear campaign? If the MSM has no left wing bias then there should be plenty of well known examples similar to the "macaca" flap, given the plethora of outrageous calumny from top Dem politicos since the "stolen election" of 2000. Please list one that ranks up there with the "macaca" smear job. It should be like picking low hanging fruit. Just one reality based instance. Uh huh. I didn't think so. I rest my case.<< Sully - He used the phrase repeatedly at that event. Into a video camera. Held by a man working for his opponent. And don't even act like Dems have never been slammed in the press. Were the press not an insane pack of dogs all through the Monica Lewinsky case? At it's heart, was that not just a man trying not to have his wife find out he cheated? And the constant repetition of the smearvets ad by all the media outlets during the '04 campaign seems like a good example. They played the commercial during the news shows, so the sponsors of the smear campaign didn't even have to buy airtime. Naturally, you are now going to tell me that these examples don't count, and that the smearvets story was really important and those guys were sincere and it wasn't a put-up job. Just save it. The piling on on this thread is so tedious. I will say, though, that you guys have really proved how open-minded you are here. Yes, you really consider other people's views. You're open to new ideas. Right. - Allen
