It is. No number of "I respect her" statements change the fact that you are repeatedly using my posts as spring boards for lobbing increasingly indignant attacks against Obama and some invisible left-wing supporters who you seem to have a grudge against.You can say "I'm not attacking PV" all you want but it's MY WORDS you're using to launch a post that ends up with statements like "Reconciliation is not a synonym for surrender, and working together for our future is not done by demanding that one group bend over and grab their ankles."Can you *really* not see what you're doing here? Can you really not see how extreme, angry and blind your own bias has become? And no, my concern was not about the questions and challenges being raised. I would NEVER suggest that questions be silenced, EVEN if they are dangerous. NEVER.If you'd paid attention to my post (instead of looking for things to argue with) you'd have realized that I was not listing those points as examples of things that shouldn't be discussed, and that I made no attempt to explain why they are or are not relevant, <i> because that wasn't my point </i> My point was about the way the McCain campaign is framing the election, the obvious effect of that frame, and that he was not taking a leadership role over the crowds of his own supporters. <b>Please</b> go back and re-read my post, and <b> please </b> stop using my blog as raw material for ammunition against whoever it is you're so bloody mad at.

I'm with you. It;'s time the gloves come off and supporters of McCain and Palin GET THE WORD OUT that the media is HIDING on Obama. It's ridiculous and dangerous not to be informed.
