I neither have the time, nor the patience to indulge any of the "oh lets hop on the Israel is baaaaad bandwagon and force ourselves to defend religious fundementalists, nevermind the fact that every other word out of our mouthes is poo-pooing on those bad american fundamentalists who talk about wiping gays from the face of the planet" bullshit that "informed intellectual progressives" seem to be intent on riding into the ground.

But I do have to ask this - what exactly does "wipe from history" mean to you MACHETTE. Its almost like a SERIAL KILLER taking umbrage with the fact that a newspaper reported that he raped and mutilated 14 yr old girls, instead of the reality of him raping and mutilating 60 year old women. The "clean" statement is hardly a statement thats going to get the President of Iran invited to break challah on the sabbath. This is a ridiculous fucking debate over semantics, that "underground" neo-progressives have picked up on to attack the media establishment (re: The Bush Controlled Media) and make themselves feel as if they have gained ground in the "war" on Neo-Conservatism.

Macehtte - if that is your real name - you read too fucking much. And yes, that is an insult. You remind me of this guy who memorized every "issue" that he could get his hands on, and could recite verbotim the pros and cons of the subject as dictated in the text of the articles read. . .and that was the depth of his understanding of things. All surface.
