"f-u Robert, you traitor to the anti-Bush agenda, we see an opportunity to criticize Bush and we take it! This is legitimate, we are obsessed and we don't shut up."

Really, they said that? Where? News to me...

And where did I defend their actions in any case?

"Three (3!) moderators had appealed for compliance and the robot-like breying continued absolutely unabated."

So what? Their being idiots doesn't mean that Tom is not being an idiot. Why are you reverting to this "bu-bu-butt they're bad t-t-too! Mommy!!!" Argument. It doesn't deal with ANYTHING AT ALL.

"Tom, has been on the defensive."

No, Tom has been on the offensive and spinning like a relativistic top.

". Claiming Bush is responsible for death in New Orleans is a grand claim, especially when a civil servant like Don should know how utterly asinine his and other folks comments about Bush culpability are. Grand claims require substantive evidence to substantiate."

I'm not going to argu this point until the last of the wretched are evacuated from NOLA, That is the point I'm making you thick headed loon!. Tom is arguiong that point, you're now arging that point and it makes you and Tom just like Don and Bowser. Put it together, its not that hard.
