"As I said I REFUSE to be held to standards that you will not apply to those that agree with you?"

Well, I just thought you ought to be held to the standards you hold other people to. It seemed fair.

Look. Back to the beginning of this hassle. You said "Of course he said he would rush out and defend the US..... righjt after taking a poll as to what the most popular thing in the world would be."

You didn't say "I believe he'd rush right out..." you said " Of course *he said* he would rush out.." as though if source were Kerry instead of your opinion of his action. I would accept your belief; I will not accept a false attribution. You didn't even say "I believe he'd say..."

Helluva lot of "says" in there.

Kerry did not say that; you said that. And you did not present it as a speculation.

Like someone said, "You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts." and I am tired of trying to explain the difference.
