The extreme position that you take by bouncing to the opposite side and claiming that no Al Qaeda are therefore attempting to enter the US through our borders.

And where do I say ANYTHING like that???

I said that exaggeration tends to lessen peoples' acceptance of there being a problem, rather than convince them of the need to solve the very real problem.

You sound rather hysterical.

I don't 'believe' there is a problem. I KNOW there is a problem.

I KNOW objects have been found.

My only point is that the people who are uninformed will be less likely to be convinced by hyperbole, to be polite, than by provable, reasoned, DISPASSIONATE, indisputable facts.

I should demand an apology; you have put words in my mouth even worse than Chris Matthews did to Michelle Malkin. Instead, I'll chalk it up to poor reading skills.

Good day!

You know old posts don't disappear, FYI.

I see you have decided to "rephrase, amplify or extend" your remarks like a good politician. That pleases me.

No there haven't been any Korans dropped, that's too precious, she's just a hysterical old biddie.

Speaking of poor reading skills, what part of my quote of your words did you not remember posting;

Sensational, extreme exaggeration, far from solving the problem, only serves to convince people that the entire story is fiction, and that NO elements of it are true.

Good day!

Run along.
