I figured as much, didn't think that Steve would format his email for
a missive like that. And, why is it so hard for the American Media
to understand context, or at least read the whole article? They let
Bush misrepresent/misstate his own campaign points (and flip-flop on
his own decisions), and then beat up on the other guy
<http://www.misleader.org/daily_mislead/Read.asp?fn=df10152004.html>
Oh well, hopefully those with an brain can look it up and maybe find
the real source and or the context, not just mindlessly parrot what
they heard--and that goes for both sides! (Bush=Hitler, and other
inflammatory comments from the 'Left'.)
Got to say the comments of KRS are interesting, certainly when the
guy at work doing an impression of a 'redneck troop' calling home
said 'We, caught us a Sand Nigger" it gave an interesting spin on how
some Americans view the world, and what problems that causes.
