It wasn’t vile and I’m not ashamed of it at all. It wasn’t a perfect essay, but I stand by it. It generated a lot of discussion, and if you read through the 800+ comments, it’s amazing (to me anyway) how many FR 98’ers agreed with my sentiments.
It was vile in its essence because it was Moral Equivalence at its worst. As I repeatedly pointed out, there was NO/zero comparison between FR and DU. A lot of those that agreed w you had—and in some cases still have—no earthly idea the kind of filth and lies that comprise the daily mainstay of DU. The few tiny snippets I posted opened many eyes. No decent, honest conservative would compare FR on a bad day to DU on a good day. The only way to do it is through the far left liberal/vile goggles of Moral Equivalence. Period.
