If the newspaper was German, would you make the same "connection" with the Nazis and Hitler?

Nope. I love both Russia and Germany.

Russia for their flat tax, literature, and history. Germany for my ancestry and the language.

Good to know... but why did you make the reference then? It boggles the mind I tell you.

3. That is the worst signature I have ever seen. It's David Ortiz anyway.

4. You used that website again... please read my previous post in relation to the last article you posted from that "newspaper":

1) Yes, I would. I criticized the war before it started, so I'm entitled to. There is no good solution left and it all falls on Bush's shoulders for going in the first place. At this point, if we're not going to pull out completely, we should finish this the right way.

2) Don't ever post in any thread discussing professional sports, you've never played professionally, and you never will. Don't ever post in any thread discussing a game that hasn't been released yet, because you haven't played it. Don't ever poke your head into any democratic political thread.

That's a bull**** argument and you know it is, put it back in the closet where it belongs.

3) Read up on that speaking gaff, he corrected himself, something which your signature conveniently ignores.

4a) I let you slide last time, not again.

Yeah, he's the "war nerd" big deal, read enough of his articles and you'd realize that's a pretty accurate title.

4b) "who writes for "The eXile," a Moscow-based alternative newspaper, from a country that introduced the world to the wonderful KGB."

He's just published in "The eXile" he lives in Fresno, CA from a country that introduced the world to the wonderful KKK."

4c) He didn't write that other article you linked to. I suppose the rest of the Green Bay Packers should all be placed under suspect because Mark Chumura was a suspected rapist, right?

Stonecutter, if you're going to post a link, make sure that link doesn't need another link to back it up. His articles are so out of hand left wing that he needs a source to back up his information. Something I notice he didn't do and never does.

A little advice: If you're going to cite an underground, obviously biased website 1) Make sure it has sources to back up its claims or 2) Provide sources that back up its selective choice of information and spin on that information.

Thank you for admitting you would criticize President Bush either way.

I agree. I simply said that just to get you riled up.

I'm sorry, the website where I found the quote did not inform me of that, although I hardly think it is damaging to Kerry. If you have huge problem with it - I will kindly remove it.

How many respected journalists do you know that are referred to as such titles as "war nerd?"

The KGB was run by the Soviet Union. The KKK was/is a privately funded organization that originally started out as a fraternity.

I realize he did not write the other article, but it further proves that the "newspaper" he is published in is not a reputable source.

Again I ask you, Bond.... what does the KGB have to do with the people who wrote the article?

He made a sarcastic remark pointing out that the same country that created the KGB is home to that underground newspaper. Thats the connection he mentioned, and I do believe he made that quite clear.

He had explained it to me on AIM shortly after I posted it, I see what he means.
