Max,

Firstly, I thought I was the most liberal. I'm insulted. :-)

Sorry, Jon--I didn't intend to omit you. Yes, you're right up there.

I'm sorry, but once I'm offended, it's really too late.


Secondly, Doug hardly ever insults anyone, and certainly never insults
people with the vitrol of many, many others.

I only ask that you watch his posts to me. Seldom does he make a point
without a personal jibe at the very least.

I have. He's not nearly in the same league as that psycho who posts under
various aliases.

Is it possible that something on a "far left" website could be correct?

Highly doubtful, just the same as with something on a far right website.
Neither side give much credence to fact, only to hyperbole and dogma.

Well, there are lots of things that Rush says that are factually correct. Of
course, you're deciding what's far left, so I guess you can pick what you
want.

The current administration is filled with corrupt officials. Same goes
with Congress. Many are Republicans and many are Democrats.

Every administration is filled with corrupt individuals to some degree.
This one, however, has certainly distinguished itself as the penultimate,
if not the ultimate, in corruption.

No argument here.

There's a big difference between a conservative and a neocon.

Only in the minds of those making the distinction. Left wingers think
every conservative today is a neocon. Most conservatives believe
themselves to be correctly described by the classic definition. I'm a
fiscal conservative and a social moderate, but Doug has spared no
opportunity to brand me a right wing wacko and/or a neocon.

The neocons have been self-labeled. Erum... this is my favorite definition:

Conservative - A contaminant that moves with the same velocity as water.


I don't recall many instances of Doug attacking you personally.

Pay better attention to his responses to my posts.

Did he insult someone is your family? Did he claim you have fleas? I don't
recall anything like this.

As I recall, you plonked me because you disagreed with my political
viewpoint. Yet, you don't plonk Doug. What's up with that?

I didn't killfile you because I disagreed with your politics--I did so
because you became so vehemently personal in your attacks. I'm gratified
to see how radically you've changed in that regard. I suspect you're a
decent sort, but your earlier (election period) posts were pretty rabid.
I never ****can anyone because I disagree with them. I've done so if
their attacks become mostly personal (eg--Neal), or if they crosspost to
the flonkers (well over 100 so far).

I was personal? I think I called you maxipad, which I wasn't the first to
do.

Max
