based on ill-informed leaps of logic

See, this is where it helps to know Egon's bias. It is NOT by any stretch of the imagination an "ill-informed leap of logic" to conclude, based upon known facts, that Target caved to the sodomites:

Homosexual Pressure May Have Forced Target's Salvation Army Eviction

"We happen to know," the CFI spokesman explains, "that the Target Corporation has been under enormous pressure from homosexual activists to dump The Salvation Army because [it] won't give domestic-partner benefits [to its employees]."

In fact, Knight says homosexual activists have been after The Salvation Army for a long time, and some groups have reportedly stooped to some fairly lowdown tactics in their effort to harm the charitable organization. "One homosexual activist group in Michigan, for example, has been distributing counterfeit one dollar bills and five dollar bills to be placed in Salvation Army kettles, accusing them of bigotry and prejudice," he says.

Also, Rick Garcia, director of the homosexual lobby group Equality Illinois, even admitted recently on WYLL's The Walsh Forum radio program that homosexual activists have pressured Target to stop supporting The Salvation Army. And Garcia also admitted in a letter he wrote opposing the Illinois Family Institute's call to boycott Target that he has long protested and even demonstrated against The Salvation Army.

The ill-informed leap of logic I'm referring to has to do with O.C.'s contention that Target is rife with "sodomites" attempting to align themselves with the pro-gay agenda. It's been his point throughout the entire thread. Please don't take my statements out of context.

Also, the article you're quoting is stating that they suspect that Target caved, and the source for the article certainly can't be accused of a lack of bias either.

That said, I think they're exactly right: I think Target caved. That's a far cry from conspiring with sodomites, though.

...See, you should have posted your supporting documentation BEFORE accusing someone else of bias; otherwise, you weaken the position you're supporting by muddying the waters with an unnecessary, unproductive (and likely inaccurate and unfair) accusation which isn't even central to the debate.

Just pretend the subject matter is critical and that you have a limited amount of time to hash it out -- both are true.
