You've been around long enough to know that when you mention someone in a post, you should ping them.
And if you can't keep up with the threads and understand that it was more than a few posters and it's been more than this issue, then you really should try to educate yourself a little before you make foolish statements like that.
Suffice it to say that I think you know that very, very few people seriously believe that Laura Bush shouldn't make a public address. You are throwing "Taliban" around to many more than just these few.
Some good christians believe Laura Bush shouldn't have made a couple of comments that she made. That doesn't make us members of the Taliban. I would have thought similar jokes were cheap coming from a man as well...say if it were Dick Cheney who had made them.
