Listen Wingnut doors…weaseling is a verb. A weasel is a noun. Got that? Of course you didn’t. ---

Airman Doors, I know that you served your country in Iraq and I have a lot of respect for that kind of courage. But isn’t it the tradition of the military to fight _for_ freedoms? I have not followed most of Reeder’s links, but I do find his posts generally to be in agreement with my thinking. I don’t want to let that color my thinking on your OP. If in GD Reeder is posting only links to Op Eds and other _opinions_ (as opposed to factual material), and if he is making huge generalizations that cannot be substantiated except with anecdotal material, then maybe he can be compared with decemember. I do remember that the link to the President’s comments on the possible looting of the WMDs was a news article and not Op Ed. Maybe december links to reasonably unbiased sources and I just haven’t noticed. ---

Bushista? Who, me? As usual, you’re not paying attention. Once upon a time, maybe. Read some of my posts since I got back and then call me a Bushista. You’ll note that I am anything but. Come 2004 I’ll be voting Democrat for President, against all of my instincts. This is about you and your spamming of repetitive and nonsensical anti-Bush threads. I tried to be nice to you about it, but with your two asinine contributions today you left me no choice. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Airman Doors, USAF \* > \*\* I tried to be nice to you about it, but with your two asinine contributions today you left me no choice. \*\* um… looks to me like you did have a choice left to you. You could choose to read his threads or not. You chose to read them. Ergo, if anyone left you no choice but to pit him, it was you. 🙂 BTW, if you were in Iraq, did you go thru Dover AFB to get over there? ---

Actually I wasn’t referring to you. It was aimed at Brutus. And I have never repeated anything. Have you seen any of what I posted on the mainstream media? No you haven’t. Because they are in Bush’s pocket. Someone needs to document all the lies and deceits. If it’s me…ok. If it’s you or others…all the better. ---

Any dipshit can pull that off, so don’t try to pass of your spamming of GD as anything but spamming. ---

Any dipshit can pull that off, so don’t try to pass of your spamming of GD as anything but spamming. If I understand **Brutus** , he wants you to write 3 lines instead of one and have the link as an additional cite instead of a headline and then it’s ok in his book, because it is a “great debate” in that case 🙂 As for **Reeder** being the liberal **december** : Perhaps a liberal **december** is needed and long overdue as a counterbalance. P.S.: Everyone who disagrees with me is… Ah, you know the rest, he he 😉 ---
