How many of the in-house bashers are "posturing" so that they can say "I told you so" if the GOP loses both Houses in '02 and the White House in '04?

I think the moderator correctly pointed out:

This is not happening on just one side, it is happening on all sides. It is a form of disruption that relies on the cover of good people engaging in flame wars with them so that the disruptors seem part of the mass rather than the agent provocatuers that they are.

We don't KNOW that some of the those taking the other side of the issue from the "bashers" aren't engaging in the same goal, do we?

I think the moderator's point, is that ALL sides need to honestly monitor themselves and not allow civility to be sacrificed on the altar of debate, no?
