Again, once you post the full link, you've proven my point.

Journalists responsibility to his employer, not a paid mouth piece.

Keep spinning.

What was the third rule of arguing again?

Oh yeah.  STOMP YOUR FEET AND CRY LOUDLY.

Keep crying.  Changing the direction of your argument from Bush=Bad to Journalist=Bad Mistake shows it to be a loser
 
Nice try, though.  Your fellow moonbats would be proud of the amount of spin you put forth.

I won't charge you for this schooling.  It's on me.

well, the term "liberal" as i see it isnt any more of a swear word as "conservative" might be.

i am both.

so.  ok.  whatever.  

i have claimed to be an independent, but i voted libertarian this last round and have stated that i am probably going to be more actively involved with them next election cycle.

the libertarians are and have been totally opposed to the war in iraq.  read thier platform.

as far as the other.  i just posted the article that i came across here because i assumed that this was the relevant theater.  posting a topic is not the same as forming an opinion on it.

for the most part, i have posted few opinions with regards to anything other than iraq.

my opposition to that war can be found in several places here.

please dont tell me that you are confusing a lack of blind obedience to a party as "liberalism"

because that my dear friend would not only be misinformed, but wrong.

look it up.  i may well be a "classic liberal"  as well as i may be a "fiscal conservative"  but i see niether as a slant and frankly, i am pretty over those who use it as such.

my major opposition to the republican party comes in the form of a reaction to the teatotalers and the party line cowtowers that spew that line all over these pages irregardless of what the consequences to my liberty might be.

cant say as i even know who the democrats here are.  

i can say that kerry is giving a pretty shaky interview with russert this morning...though its getting better once they stopped talking about the election.

believe me.  if he would have won, and the democrats would have acted anywhere near as beligerantly as some of the republicans here, i would be grinding that stone just as hard.

in some cases, its just downright embarassing.

but look, i am not one for labels or name calling.

so, when you decide to refrain from sucj things and/or making generalizations without presenting a full attack that spells it out, i may just be the first to agree with you where applicable.

it really dont take much.  just a little critical thinking.

>>I love moonbats. You destroy their argument, then they stick around to cheer on whoever picks up the ball.

Nice pom poms, tweety.<<

Yea, thats exactly what you did. You showed how a journalist who's primary responsibility is to the truth can appear unbiased  while being payed by those he/she writes about. I'm just not intelligent enough to absorb your wisdom, Martlet. Such is life in the peanut gallery. ...

Well, if he is your nephew I'd suggest you are.  Then again, it wouldn't suprise me if you weren't.
