    @Zoltan

    You said: "Hello, Stalin.com! Why do you hate your own country so?"

    Jeepers, I think that's a loaded question Zoltan

    You said: "Barry and Billy A weren't close because they each say they were not close. Is that really enough evidence for you? Do you suspend all critical thought when these luminaries of the left speak?"

    No, but in the absence of any other evidence linking the two, there is no reason to believe otherwise (despite paranoid, conspiritorial fulminations from the right wing noise machine).

    You said: "He (McCain) could have really hammered Obama on his 20 year association with Trinity United Church and it's demagogue pastor, but he did not. Had he, he might have won, but he did not want a victory which might have been tainted by cries of racism.

    Were you watching the same election that I was? McCain's campaign did attack Obama's pastor--even thought McCain had accepted support and endorsements from the likes of the pastor John Hagee and several other hate spewing fundie bastards.

    You said: "You guys do not recognize honor because you have no honor of your own."

    What can I say; we all bow our heads in collective shame in the face of your superior morality!
