There was rational disagreement with the deal, and there was much more irrational disagreement with it. There was hysteria and there was racism from some, and some definite trouble making from wolves in sheep's clothing....such as the banned fellow upthread.

I think you can distinguish who was who around here, EV.

The bannee's post on this thread was hardly ban-worthy, IMO.

The bad attitude displayed by Bush loyalists on this thread and others is killing the party, my friend.

People don't take kindly to being called insane racists, know what I mean? Especially over simple policy disagreements.

In their defense of the President, too many have taken to using sledgehammers when scalpels are called for.

Jack Wheeler can go jump in a lake.

In the latest FR poll, 51.8% composite posters say the deal was "bad" or "very bad."

The phenomenon that I saw during the debates on FR was that, instead of sticking to debating the issue, the proponents and supporters of DPW quickly resorted to personally insulting and characterizing other FReepers who disagreed with them.

And posting this opinion piece is further divisive. How far is this going to go before people here just drop it?
