Continued agitation about Gonzalez is playing into the spin put out by the Left (aka New York Times/Washington Post/Tim Russert/CNN etc.).

I haven't been paying real close attention, in that I haven't heard the supposed "shrill rhetoric instigated by the right wingers." But my thoought is that the left-leaning press is inclined to solicit comments if none are forthcoming, and then to paint whatever is said in the most shrill light possible.

In other words, the press can make hay ANY time a Christian-based group expresses ANY political view. That's just the way it is.

And now the press gets a bonus - it can write a story about how the GOP and the president are attacking right-wing Christian groups. Even your comment could be spun by a creative press as an attack against conservatives, by a GOP representative ...

Conservatives who foolishly thought Gonzalez was going to be the nominee have been going ballistic and trashing him in the press.

What was said that amounts to trashing?

Good morning. Yes, you have a good point. However, my particular concern is that people here on FR are allowing themselves to be manipulated by the New York Times.
