I think you're being paranoid, Mick. As GUEST pointed out, the poem was posted to "honor Wellstone's work for vets," something he was well known for, at least here, in his home state. What's with this old-time Mudcatter obsession with unmasking "trolls" and their "agendas," anyway? Christ.

And I agree, you don't need to drop names. But you do it, and often. Half of your first post to this thread was a name drop/list of your "liberal qualifications," which I've read before on I don't know how many threads. These aren't necessary; when I see your name on a thread, I don't think, "Oh, this must be important... This guy knows Harkin!" I think of your history here, and your great contributions to hundreds of threads.

So, like, knock it off.
