" but you will see those feeling the sting of the accusations of treason prancing out legitimate gripes as bait and switch for the crap that I think Gary was really talking about.
"

I see, so if you complain about the remarks that You and Gary are making, then obviously they apply to you, since you are 'feeling the sting'.

Like hell, Mark.

Some people just object to stupid indefensible bullshit.

Some people don't like the fact that when they point out that nearly nothing said by our government is truthful, that they get called names and have their patriotism insulted.

Some people don't like the fact that the justifications for the mass killing of a lot of americans and Iraqis have turned out to be false.

Some people are simply adults, and know that a mistake made by one person can not be used to justify a mistake made by another person, and they get frustrated by small minded child-like a-holes who don't understand this simple fact of moral and ethical integrity.

Some people understand that believing something is likely and being wrong is different than believing something is likely, ignoring all contrary evidence brought up by experts over and over, starting a war and causing thousands of people to die.

Some people are tired by the bullying tactics of those who have lined up on the Governments side.

Sonme people understand the difference between principled, informed, and intellectually and morally consistent dissent and being a traitor.

Some people see the promise of Democracy not as a mob of people saying the same things shouting down those who don't, but of an informed exchange of opinions, arguments, reasons and facts.

Some people understand that pointing out the moral and ethical lapses in our foreign policy and our prosecution of this war is not the same thing as betraying 'our side'.

Some people understand that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Some people can actually grok that just because one set of people with a particular hue to their skin and hair, and a particular religion do something really stupid and evil to us, that not all people who have that hue and religion think and act like they do

So these are the poeple who, just might, come down on nitwits like you, like Bill O'reilly, like Rush Limbaugh, like Gary- People who don't seem to understand any or most of the above points, and believe that anyone who doesn't think like them is somehow f-ing evil and anti-american. People like me, People like Robert, People like Mary Anne.
