Doug: in all seriousness, re-read your paragraph above and tell me
honestly
that:
1) that's not a very personal, derogatory attack,
2) that you've not labeled me as a far-right, hate-monger,
3) that you've stuck to the issues at hand rather than simply allowing
your
emotions to lash out in anger,
4) that in any of my paragraphs above I've been either as hateful or
derogatory as you were in this last paragraph.

Of course you can't. You simply are unable to abstain from personal
attacks.


1- Is it a "personal attack" if it is completely truthful?

Of course it is, but it's not truthful. I'm far from the extreme
right-winger you claim I am. And I don't preach hatred, nor do I feel it
personally toward you or any of the politicians you've supported. What I do
feel is that having politicians with no direction or plan (democrats) is
about as counterproductive as having them with a very bad plan
(republicans).


2- (just a single example) You think John Kerry is "the most *dangerously*
liberal Presidential candidate *in history"*

Hyperbole and untrue. Please show me where I said "dangerously" or "in
history."

which is a confabulation of the far-right-wing hate-mongers like Rush
Limbaugh.

Is Rush preaching hatred any more than Michael Moore, Al Franken, George
Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Harry Belefonte, and myriad others?? You seem to
be wearing some rather one-sided blinders these days.

That isn't to say that *you* are a far-right-wing hate-monger yourself,
merely that you give more credence to them than to the evidence of the
world around you (I could give far more examples of the same behavior from
you).

What you are implying is that any conservative belief is hate-mongering, and
that's hogwash. There is clearly as much or more hatred coming from the far
left these days, but I've never heard you take them to task. Why is that?

3- that *is* an issue at hand, especially when you justify your
vociferously-expressed political opinions on #2 above.

You've always read far more into my posts than was there. If I were ****ed
you'd not get any response from me. To the contrary, I find debating you
amusing, otherwise I wouldn't do it.


4- Shall I google up a few of your comments for you? And add to the fact
that you are constantly calling me a liberal, which you believe to be a
terrible insult?

Nope. Not even close. If it's an insult, it's your own misinterpretation
of it. Jon is a liberal and so is Oz, and I seriously doubt if they feel
offended when someone calls them that. I call you a liberal primarily
because you vehemently debate the conservatives here (Dave, me) while
completely ignoring the liberals and extreme left-wingers. Your actions
speak volumes; your words appear hollow.


In other words, go work on a Laser. And when you're done, try to not post
about politics if you can't stick to the facts.

I have a better idea--let's do it your way. Let's skip the issues and just
call each other names. Might be even more fun.
