"Anything written by the Seattle Weekly is total and complete garbage."

"I think he had a hard time at first," says David Brewster, founder of Seattle Weekly and an ally during Chapman's Seattle City Council days.

There's no doubt the Seattle Weekly is a leftist paper. The problem is, the article above is not filled with the usual invective and actually approaches the subject with some degree of empathy on a human level. That isn't to say that the article is 100% accurate, nor would a paper in right-leaning paper be the same. But simply dismissing a fair-toned article because you don't like that it isn't positively glowing about DI suggests that you will attack and ignore ANYTHING that doesn't support your ultimate objectives, which is why no one actually RESPONDS and DISSECTS Ich's posts but just complains cuz they're "so long."

No, what it means is I have principles. I would never post an article from a whackjob source just because it supports my cause. I would not post an article from Hillary Clinton or Al Gore or John Kerry or Charlie Manson or the ACLU just because it supports my point of view. For me, the ends do not justify the means.

For some evos, the ends do justify the means and they would post an article from a serial killer if it supported the evo point of view.
