So I'm not putting this out for them. I already know what they'll say.
They are certainly entitled to their opinions, but not their name-calling.
The truth stands on its own, for those with courage enough to say it.
Here's someone that does...

I didn't bother reading the article. I just skimmed it slightly because I saw it was by Robert Scherer. That guy is a joke. He used to do a column in the Los Angeles Times once a week. Luckily for the readers, he finally got fired. This guy is truly pitiful. He's like a broken record. His editorial was the same every week: Every bad thing in the whole world is because of George W. Bush.
Scherer has absolutely no shame. His columns were so one-sided and predictable that it was an embarassment. You'd think that at least once in a while he would try to show some type of objectivity. You would think that if he talked for a long enough time that something intelligent would come out of his mouth. Just by sheer chance, you would think that something intelligent may randomly come out of his mouth. I'm still waiting for it to happen. The L.A. Times has always been a liberal paper but even they couldn't stomach Scherer. He was an embarrassment to the paper.
I can't figure out how DTS or anyone else could like reading a guy like Scherer. My politics are definitely to the right of center but I don't like listening to one of these one-sided right-wingers who can't come up with an original thought. I don't like anyone who is going to insult my intelligence and only tell me half the story. I don't care if it's a right-winger or a left-winger.
It's sad how some of you will take the words of some of these people as carte-blanche. It's pathetic. Practically all of my thoughts and opinions are orginal thoughts. I don't like listening to a right-winger like Sean Hannity. I'm not going to learn anything from listening to a guy like that. You guys aren't going to learn anything from listening to idiots like Scherer.
I'm always skeptical of anything any of these people say. Just the other day, Senator Frist was being interviewed and was saying how the republicans want to pass a bill to raise the minimum wage but the democrats are aginst it. If I was as gullible as you guys, I would eat this up and belive that the republicans must want higher wages and the democrats must not. I actually don't know if what Frist said is true or not but I assume it's one of those half-truths that you constantly get from politicians. Even thought I normally like Bill Frist, I have a strong suspicion that he was only telling half the story.
You guys need to be more cynical about people in both parties. It is very rare that one of these politicians or columnists will be straight-forward and will want to tell you the truth. They don't want you to know the truth. They're just giving you one-side of the story trying to sell you their agenda.
