From my posts here:

Comment is invited on the following:

Amos,
Thank you for your reasonable post. I was looking for a discussion of this, not the usual anti-Bush rants.

When he wrote this one, I wanted to find out what others thought. Amos had a good comment, and Bobert and Don showed that they had no idea what the post was even about.

I have NO requirement for anyone to agree or disagree with Cohen's assessment- but I find the REACTION to be indicative of the major problem with the Left at this time. ANYONE, regardless of past views, who does not toe the PARTY LINE is apostate, and to be attacked. Seems like a brake to a free discussion of viewpoints and the merit of different ideas.

MY pupose was to see what others thought of Cohen's statements, that the worst enemy of Liberals were themselves.- OBVIOUSLY, you are part of the lockstep crowd who look on any critiscm of Bush as gospel. That is fine- but it does NOT tell me your opinion about Cohen's statements.

And your comments about the REACTION to Cohen's article?

Metchosin,
And your take on the REACTION to Cohen's comments?

MTed,
And YOUR take on the REACTION to COHEN'S comments?

Actually, I did want a discussion. IMO, the next election is the Democrats to lose- they will find some way to insure that most people vote for the Republican ( whoever that is). But IF they won, they might have to actually deal with the problems of government, and I would be interested in what they plan to do- Hold to the path of Left Correctnes, or actually deal with the real world.

Intellectually dishonest to want to know what people think about the premise that the Democrats will tear themselves apart, rather than take the easy win in the next election?

I DO NOT CARE about what Colbert said, or did not say. IT DOES NOT MATTER.

I DO NOT CARE what percentage of the people emailing Cohen thought what. IT DOES NOT MATTER.

I WAS TRYING TO DISCUSS THE PREMISE, PRESENTED BY COHEN, THAT…

DO NOT CARE if you agree with me or not- I WANT TO KNOW ***OTHER'S*** OPINIONS ON THE THREAD TOPIC- "war critics who are so hyped on their own sanctimony that they will obliterate distinctions, punishing their friends for apostasy and, by so doing, aiding their enemies."

I think I can make a good guess at many people's opinions on Bush, any criticism of him, and any attempt to keep discorse on a polite level. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE THREAD TOPIC- NOR HAVE MANY OF YOU MADE THE ATTEMPT TO PARTICIPATE IN DISCUSSION.


From BillD: "gee, bruce...you need a new career-- interviewing politicians and asking them interesting questions, then TRYING to get them to answer the question you asked, instead of plugging in their favorite answers and changing the subject."

BillD,
I take full responsibility for my failure to make clear the intent of this thread.
Thank you, Amos and Jeanie, for seeing what I was saying in spite of my not spelling it out.
I did NOT post a thread on Cohen's first article, as I saw no purpose in it ( see this thread, if you want to know what would have been said)) I did think the second one brought up a point worth discussion, but the KNEEJERK reaction of some people here has made that unlikely.
It AIN"T ABOUT Colbert, Cohen, OR Bush.
