Okay, let's put it right where it is.

Just for the record, I've read all three of the articles that Bruce linked to and I can't say that I'm impressed. The one from the Seattle paper is nearly a year old and has turned out to be wrong on several points. Also, the word "liberal" is being thrown around loosely by these writers and by lots of people posting here who have no real clue as to what the actual liberal political philosophy is. Equating the Democratic Party with the liberal or progressive position shows just how far off they are.

This thread was started with the idea of once again beating the Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly humdrum about what treasonous dolts and blithering idiots "liberals" are. Straw man fallacy once again! Construct a foolish looking effigy, endow it with all kinds of idiotic characteristics, call it a "liberal," and then knock it apart.

Sorry, no sale!
