If you’re referring to **Evil Captor** and **Squink** when you say that, I’ll agree.

If you’re referring to “all liberals”, I’m afraid I’m going to have to challenge you to a duel. Oversized trout at three paces. Your choice of location.

This is a strange response. No one on the left really seems to be defending the ad, leaving not a lot to debate about the ad itself.

Given that most of us were quick to come out against the ad, and having little to debate on that front, it’s not really all that surprising that the subject would turn towards misleading ads in general and who seems to make the most out of them and refuse to acknowledge their tactics. And on that front, I’d say that quick condemnations certainly beat out the pages long excuses that make you and Squink a pair, not Squink and all of us. No?

I’d’ve been shocked if the thread _hadn’t_ turned in that direction.  
Course, now I’ve got to sit in a tree with **Shodan**.
