I don't lump you in the 'like you' category - she is in a class all by herself, Saber... :0)

Well, let me ask... is lumping productive, in any case?

Here's what I've observed. An unpopular poster, with whom I often disagree both in style and substance, nailed a bullseye this time. Grover Norquist's links to radical Islam didn't come out of the blue, there have been warning signs for years. But we, all of us, dropped the ball, and when the feud between Gaffney and Norquist hit the fan, this poster in question got it right first.

The reason I don't like lumping is because you never really know whom you might find on your side of the fence on the next issue of the day. In this case, I think a great many on this forum have let their feelings for one poster color their understanding of this story.

Now, see? YOU are able to discuss this rationally... enough to actually make me consider looking at it further... Jael, on the other hand, is th emaster of "When did you stop beating your wife" arguments...

To what end? So he posted a multitude of articles, along with you, all saying the same damned things. People read the first one, commented on it and debated it then made up their minds. The question has to be asked.....why not leave it at that and be satisfied? Was the reaction to posts 1-15 not enough to fully discuss the issue or was it that they didn’t elicit the reaction you and TLB thought was so important? Tough break guys but all you and TLB have shown is an obsessive need to get others to recognize your special "insight". It smacks of agenda or childishness.
