I WROTE:

I do not know your agenda, but you certianly sound like a person who puts himself on a pedestal for judging other people.

YOU RESPONDED:

Since I said nothign about myself or my own worth, your false claim of my agenda fails.

---------------------------------

This is very interesting. You seem to have the conceit that you can make moral judgments about people you hear on the radio or in print and then you can posture as their judge and jury; and then, when you are called to account for that:

AS WHERE I WROTE:

Who are you to be so lacking in an open mind that you are going to act as if you can judge the real inner meaning of a person's private acts?

IT IS THEN THAT YOU WANT TO ASSERT RELIEF FROM THE EYES OF OTHERS:

your false claim of my agenda fails.

WHY?

Well, you say the reason is because:

"Since I said nothign about myself or my own worth"

Sir, you have said an awful lot about yourself. You probably want a black and white moral universe where YOU have no doubt in judging others. If there are black and white moral judgments to be made, they are reserved for one who has access to all the pertinent facts and the struggles and meaning of the heart of the individual moral actor. You are usurping a role as JUDGE to which you are not entitled. You demonstrate this in your posts. You cannot shrink back and say you have proclaimed nothing. But I am not making a moral judgment about you or weighing whether and to what extent your actions and behaviors are sinful.

This is the difference between judgments per se and one specific type of judgment: moral judgments. You too easily ignore that difference and that is why your self-righteous approach is not helpful and provides our enemies with an embodiement of the cariacture to which they eagerly wish to paint all of us.

And so, judging me in return makes me wrong for judging the public character and behaviour of this person?

We ALL have the right to make judgements on the PUBLIC behaviours of ANYONE.

ANYONE concerning their public behaviours, and especially their own public pronouncements about themselves and their own personal behaviours.

Your judgement of my answers is just that: A pronouncement of my character based on my public pronouncements of what I believe based on what I observed and heard of Tammy Bruce.

You are judging me the same way I am judging her, and yet you call me someone who is out of line for judging someone?

By the way, I used to think the ONTOS was a kewel system, wish I actually got to fire one! :)
