Folks who never voted for the "candidates" responsible for those other scandals, were accused of being wrong for merely critically discussing those controversies and condemning those practices, and those who promoted them.

While there is some truth in what you say here, the way in which you say it is the reason for a lot of those replies, imo. When posts are so front-loaded with bias, it is difficult for those with opposing views to not become defensive. Also, posts that start out with a sort of "
I told you so" type of vibe are not going to fare well, regardless of merit. Also, only a certain type of person said the things that you state above. The vast majority of people don't think I'm a traitor because I don't always agree with Bush or his policies.

Even with self imposed brevity, small posted news article excerpts, I fear that this thread will be locked for having a"too wordy, link rich" OP. Bear in mind that I don't make this stuff up. Please allow this thread to proceed.

Again, yet another self-referential jab regarding your posts being edited by the mods? It seriously takes away from whatever you are trying to say.

Is the liberal press covering this in any way that is an example that they are "liberal" ceasing any opportunity to smear non-liberals? Will anyone who still supports Bush or congressional republicans be influenced to vote against them? Where will all of this lead?

Are you denying there is any sort of liberal press? Or are you saying it's just not as liberal as some people imply? I think there is a huge amount of reporting done from
both the liberal
and conservative points of view. Wouldn't you agree?
