"Now, correcting me if I'm wrong Nerd, but you seem to think there is something inherently wrong with Nader and Cobb supporters being critical of Kerry and saying so here in the forum."

Okay, I'll correct you. You're wrong.

If you wish to criticize Kerry for policies and positions, go ahead. If I disagree with you, I will say so, but I have never questioned your right to post.

If you wish to merely insinuate, by posting nothing but links to sites lamely criticizing Kerry's horse-race performance, while claiming to be seeking "balance," I will point out what you are doing, because it is underhanded. It's disingenuous of you to claim to be interested in "balance," when as I pointed out you post two articles neutral about Kerry's appearance and two that think Kerry flopped. That's balance a la Fox News. And in any case you've clearly never been interested in balance--you have started innumerable threads that merely bash Kerry.

I also think it's counter-productive for Nader and Cobb supporters to repeat the ridiculous accusations made by Swift Boat liars for lies. I think it's counterproductive for people who claim to be progressive to use kooky lies dreamed up by right-wing attack dogs, even though the so-called progressives pretty much know these things are lies. I can't be sure if you have done this, of course, because you hide behind the anonymous GUEST moniker. But certainly you work in concert with other anonymous GUESTs who do this, either intentionally or unwittingly.

By the way, one of the Catters I most respect, Bobert, is on your side of this issue. But he does not play the games you play.
