Stepping back from the actual content and looking at the whole thing more broadly, it is interesting how those on the right bought the Klinton stuff and those on the left were unshakingly skeptical; now, those on the left buy the Bush stuff and those on the right are unshakingly skeptical. (Ima sure one could write an interesting book on the effect the information age has had on conspiracy theories, increased numbers of them and/or their wider dissemination).
For example, I don't see you (or brian to a lesser extent) being nearly as skeptical or critical when DTS starts posting his moronic links or crazy (and/or substance induced) rants. But someone says something against a Clinton, and...  
And please consider that I used you (GR) and brian as my examples as a compliment; while you may lean left, you both seem rather intelligent, so I kinda expect more than from the average leftist. |
I'll respond later, because it's an understandable accusation, but I have to go to vocal coaching and scare a few people with my "singing"...
