RTFR is not what he/she claims to be. It is fine to be a liberal and admit it, but the posts on this thread, the inability to find non-liberal sources, the use of talking points, the references to things we don't know about as if we all should have such info at our fingertips and (most telling) the desire to change the subject (see the bizarre mention of gay marriage) indicate that he is hiding behind the usual shield of Libertarianism and the much older and discredited shields of McCain and TR to justify Bush/Republican bashing.
the financial times is a liberal source?
I went back through his posts (that ol' fact-checking thingy). A rather odd mix at times, especially his notion that there should not be a ceiling on FICA, but he also has some views that could be construed as paleo or libertarian. Nothing that gives a strong troll indication. So I think his posts should be debated on their merits, or lack therof, especially since his claim that Gannon used a bogus quote was substantiated.
