And yet a huge contingency of FReepers will spend the weekend telling us why they're right "on this article."
I have no real problems with people not supporting Rudy, or even not wanting him to win. But I find it amusing that the far left and the far right are singing from the same hymnal.
We ain't singing from the same hymnal. I just said that if its in the Nation, dismiss it. The Nation dislikes Rudy for the good qualities he has, as far as I'm concerned.
Because, really, there is not that much difference between the far far right and the far far left.
The Duncan Donuts crowd went bonkers when I posted ONE anti-Hunter article from a left-wing source, just an example of what is out there about him (his connections to Randy Cunningham). Yet we are challenged regularly to defend Rudy against old charges from leftwingnuts. *sigh*
Actually, we want the Rudy supporters to tell us what is wrong with it.
You of all people should know what happens when supporters of a candidate don't effectively respond to articles in the Nation, no matter how rediculous we think they are.
I will say that as a libertarian-leaning conservative when it comes to government authority and power (and the use and abuse of that power) the story of Desmerond always bothered me, even when it first happened, because leaking sealed court records to discredit people attacked by government agents is a serious issue.
We all understand the issue of Hillary and Bill and the 900 FBI files, and how they used the power of thier office to attack people by leaking personal information (like with Linda Tripp).
This incident shows Rudy to have the same ethical standard when defending his administration.
Who knew that The Nation had so many fans at FR?? :)
