Name-calling and non-sequiturs. That's some real skill you are showing there, dirtboy.

Now, let's see. The President says "I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorists killers." But, according to you, he is only talking about the Israeli/Palestinian issue and not the broader war on terror. Right.

Game. set. match. You lose.

Lugsoul: and I have no interest in a flame war with one armed only with a soggy match, so I'll move on.

Do as I say, not as I do.

No, I am not - and I already clearly documented the difference between the way we execute our war on terror and how we want the Israelis to execute theirs. But, then again, I can hardly expect you to grasp the difference between broad statements and the specific actions taken in carrying out American foreign policy. That might require you to do something really, really radical, like gather facts and actually process them, instead of bleating out Dem talking points.

Oh, and you never did answer - have you ever seen a Michael Moore movie?

Not from where I'm sitting. Looks to me like he won the discussing and you're still spinning.

Moore's inclusion of that clip was grossly misleading, just as he meant it to be. And pointing that out is a legitimate discrediting of Moore and his propaganda film.

Presenting something in a way that you know the audience will draw an improper conclusion from is no different from an outright lie. In a way it's *worse*, since it rapes the truth in service to an untruth.
