"I was once a Democrat but I will not support any candidate that will not speak out against the American occupation of Iraq. This means that I can't really call myself a Democrat any longer."


I'm sure the mainstream democrats thank you. Your type is what's giving the democrats a bad name.




"The issue is not the truth or the lack of truth in the protester's position."

Thank you, Amos, for clearing that up. You finally admitted that it doesn't matter what the truth is as long as somebody says it. Admitting it is the first step to recovery my friend.

If you will read the story, no background was ever given for this woman. We don't know if she has a mental problem from the past. She may very well have one. Just because it doesn't say that she didn't resist in some form or fashion doesn't mean that she didn't.

It's just as in the case with a friend of mine.

After his divorce, he met up with a girl that we went to high school with. She lived in Austin and they started a long distance relationship. She was taking care of her sick grandmother and when they put her into a nursing home, my friend helped her and her children move to North Texas and they moved in together. After living together for about a year, my friend realized that he hadn't had enough time to get over his divorce from his ex-wife of eight years. She too, was not happy in the relationship. He moved out. A month later, the girl tells him that she's two months pregnant with his child. So instead of marrying a girl that he knew that he didn't love, he told her that he would do the right thing and support his child in any way that he could. He paid her rent, paid her utilities, went with her to the doctor's office and is now monetarily supporting the child.

Now if this was worthy to be a news story written by today's media or even by some in here, here's what it would sound like:

"North Texas:
A north Texas man, who found a former classmate in Austin, started dating her and moved her away from family that loved her in the Austin area. After living with her for a year in the north Texas area, he got her pregnant and then left her."

Now in two sentences, even though it's factually accurate, does not give the whole story and makes my friend look like a jackass even though he is one the nicest guys that you could ever meet. It does not give the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It plays upon preconceived notions and prejudices that are already formed in the intended audiences mind.

So in other words, there's probably a lot more to this story than what's being written. I'd be interested to know the whole story before I could jump to the conclusion that anything has been suppressed.

So your evidence, at best, is very, very weak.
