It's ...Funny that you should make this whine: <br /><br /><em>It's a shame that Volleyboy1 seems incapable of producing an argument that is not grounded in dragging others through the mud. </em><br /><br />When that is what you continually do. <br />How? You ask... Oh, I don't know - how about like comparing me to a Soviet Commissar that sent folks off to the Gulag? How about like lying and distorting what I said. <br /><br />The heart of my diary/article was not about how Rick Santorum is deranged for saying that President Obama is not doing enough to stop Iran from getting a bomb... It is that Santorum claims that President Obama is HELPING Iran get a bomb. Now if you think that is not delusional then I don't know what to make of that. <br /><br />AND while you might not advocate for Santorum directly if he gets the nomination (which he won't), you would be helping him indirectly for trying to get people to vote against President Obama. <br /><br />Ask Gay Americans or Minority Americans how they feel about Rick Santorum sometime. That you are all up in arms about my picking on him is pretty freakin' sad.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-17915010994033789482012-02-11T07:43:39.654-08:002012-02-11T07:43:39.654-08:00yes, let's do it.

T...I agree with this post, and it saddens me, too.<br /><br />This has been my experience with this person. It is as bad as what one sees at reactionary sites, the demeaning of others because they dare to disagree. At least the latter do not profess to be progressive.<br /><br />There is also the matter of arbitrary censorship of other ideas.<br /><br />Going after Santorum is like going after low hanging fruit. To me, a progressive blog would look at things like this, about those who claim the mantle: progressives:<br /><br /><b>BDS conference at Penn met my worst expectations</b><br /><br />http://www.jweekly.com/article/full/64227/bds-conference-at-penn-met-my-worst-expectations/ <br /><br />FWIWMike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-75635014881021057152012-02-10T17:15:10.528-08:002012-02-10T17:15:10.528-08:00I have long called people who oppose Israel's ...I have long called people who oppose Israel's right to exist as any other nation "derangers".
