Oh well. Guess we all have our faults. Trusting people I know and have been through the trenches with (so to speak) is one of mine. I have a lot of good friends who don't care much for Bush. Some I try to persuade otherwise, some I don't. We also have a lot of DU trolls and also some not so friendly so-called right-winger types posting a lot of leftist garbage and propaganda and those guys are more likely to be shown the door. Some people you can trust and tolerate more from than others and that's just the way it is.

Sorry, Jim. Although Doug helped you out through the Lawsuit, I simply can't stomach this "mystery guest" story without any secondary sourcing. For instance, to assert that I proceed from a strictly partisan point of view while Doug is strictly nonpartisan ignores his screed against Bush back in February called "Madman of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue".

It was the kind of thing you'd read on DU, and it was repulsive. It was also bad fiction.

If you want to call yourself "mad", then call yourself an "opinion writer" and publish CHB as an opinion journal. Just don't pretend to be a reporter.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
