    To David Cole re. impeachment

    That Richard Nixon was not impeached is far from pedantic. You made a rather serious factual error, and your response is to attack me for being 'pedantic.'

    Interesting view of the meaning of facts, especially coming from a person who claims to be a professor at Georgetown University Law Center.

    You wrote something false. When it was pointed out that it was false you attacked the messenger.

    What callous indifference to truth must reside within you.

    It pisses me off when the people who I want to agree with have such a casual connection with truth.

    Or as that just being pedantic? Is truth among liberals truly relative as the conservatives charge?
