re: You'll never get it

The links to their material speak for themselves. These people have been working to ensure that we give up in Iraq before the job is done, which, as an inescapable corollary, would give a victory to those we are fighting. That's irrefutable, and I am as free to denounce them for it as they are to try to do it. I'm not demanding their arrest, I'm not demanding they be silenced, and I'm not saying the organization should be shut down.

The only person here using the word "traitor" and "enemy of America" is you. Where did that come from? Is it that I'm actually accusing them of these crimes (I'm not), or is it that you just find it a convenient way to try to deflect and neutralize what I say? Kind of like the yells of "racism" and "sexism" when someone criticizes a black person or a woman?

I have noticed that outrage and high indignation often serve around here as methods of avoiding the real argument. I've seen marriages like that.
