[AAABEST]

Virtually every sentence in the opening post is unverified and inflammatory.

This thread should be zotted immediately. It does not reflect well on FR and plays directly into liberal and leftist hands.

I agree. Yesterday was even worse here.

While everyone was justifiably furious with Brian Ross, we were doing the same damn thing to Moslems, OWS, etc. that he did to the Tea Party and others are doing to the NRA. That makes us worse than those we complain about - we're supposed to know better. We're supposed to be better.

We don't need to be like them to engage them. We don't need to adopt the low tactics of our adversaries. We shouldn't become liars and kooks in order to engage liars and kooks.

I second your emotion. A well-reasoned, intellligent post, AAA. Like the good old days around here.

I think I was mainly disgusted, not so much at the unverified crap thrown around in that particular post, but that the content of the post just showed how much the bar has been lowered around here.

Posts devoid of interest, fresh news, coherence, content, reason, facts, evidence, true wit, intelligent debate or logic are tossed off at a keyboard, thrown at the screen and then the garbage post is actually defended against evil "censors" like lil ole me.

If the slavering gotcha lurkers think posts like that particular clinker are more worthy of a Pulitzer prize than a zot for blatant fakery, then the writing standards for this board are rapidly becoming lower than an earthworm's ankles in the Devil's basement.
