Why is it that when Limbaugh, Reagan, Gallagher, Buchannan, Falwell,
Robertson, Carlson, Will, O'Reilly et al spout pro-Republican invective it's
called "fair and balanced reporting," but when a left-leaning commentator voices
n opinion it's called demagoguery? Is that the accursed Liberal Media at work
again? Given your love of free speech, I expect that you'd like to have the
Canadian commentator strung up next to Jessica Lange.

See? There's a fine example--you decry the (yet to be proven inaccurate)
label of "moronic" as demagoguery, but you're happy to dismiss diplomacy (as
yet untried in the current situtation) as "naive." And your rhetorical point
is weakened still further since you're concluding that, because diplomacy
hasn't worked in one situation, it cannot work in another. And your typical
over-generalizing is once again shining through by your offhand reference to
diplomatic 'failure' "in the ME" as if that region were to be painted with a
single brush.
Bravo to you for your unflappable consistency!
Dave!
By the way--what *would* Jesus drive?
