This was in response to Davad, who has refused to repudiate, not appologize, but repudiate the racism of the part of the democrats that now claim to control the party. I am linking to his article, but feel that my response, since it is so direct, will not last long. SO here it is.
[davad70]I definitely see your point. I have no problem with stating that the views of a few nutjobs don't represent the view of the majority of Democrats. I just think it's silly for anyone to really think that that majority of any group, on either side of the aisle in this country, are bigots or anti-semitic. I find it silly that someone thinks it's necessary. There are nuts on both ends of the spectrum.
[Dr. Guy]Nice soliloquy. However, you are still dancing around the central issue. Quite simply, the nut jobs on the right are not taking credit for controlling the party, as the nut jobs on the left are. You have some explaining to do.
One: Moveon claims credit for defeating Lieberman.
Two: Moveon claims credit for anti-semitism. Big time (shall I link?)
Three: you have not disavowed them. No one is asking you to appologize (at least not most), but some are asking you to disavow them. You have not.
Fourth: Given that you have not disavowed them, we can only assume you like the company you keep.
Fifth: That is not a company that most choose to keep, including most conservatives. However due to the lack of disavowel on the left, we can only conclude the same is not true of most liberals.
You are known by the company you keep. And frankly, I chose not to keep company with the ilk that is on your side of the divide. I have already PUBLICY disavowed the few (fewer than the liberal side apparently) scum on the right. You have danced and dodged and bobbed and weaved and basically sided with the maxim "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". And in that, since I have given you numerous occassions to repudiate them, and you have declined, I can only think that you will not, not that you cannot.
And in that, I must disagree with Larry. For in that, you have proven to be less than honest, or moral in your feigned outrage.
And so I must agree with Moderatman.
