This is where I meant the post.

Me too. What an interesting thread. I posted acouple comments this AM, go to church and get involved in my son's graduation activities and lo and behold we have 200 plus posts with Freepers taking the RAT position over and over. Some even quoting that old friend of the USSR, Alexander Cockburn. Unbelievable. Bookmarking for future comments to the naysayers

In fairness to Buckeroo, he merely posted something he found at Cockburn's website. I must think that he/she was simply posting whatever was coming-up on a search, just as I must think his defense of the same was a result of pride and of ignorance.

The alternative is more difficult to stomach; a self-professed "conservative" whose hatred of all things Bush has driven him/her into the clutches of the unapologetic Marxist Left, and who accuses the folks who call to attention this entente cordiale (or marriage-of-convenience) of improper or impure patriotism. Talk about cognitive dissonance.
