    Thanks for arguing the substance, Jeff. You really knocked that crazy idea I had about ANSWER being a puppet organization controlled by the WWP interest right out of the water...

    Who really cares who organized it? The 2 million-plus people demonstrating were not affiliated with WWP -- 99.9% of them probably didn't know who was behind the protest.

    The important thing to come out of the protest was a showing of the breadth and depth of public opinion around the world right now - and who organized the rallies has no relevence to that.

    I'm not going to argue the "substance" of this "issue" because you have no substance to support the issue. Since all you did was quote right wing sources who are trying to "expose" the leftist propoganda, there is no reason for me to honestly believe any of it.

    I could post all sorts of stuff about how Rumsfeld and Cheney are tied into the industrial military complex and are only fighting a war in the middle east because of their greed. I could post how the CIA actually funded and coordinated 9/11. But, I don't believe that crap either because the sources are people who are either crazy or lefty conspiracy theorists or both.

    You cannot expect anyone to believe you if you keep using a right wing e-zine as your "source" any more than you would believe me if my sources were left wing e-zines.

    Your sources are flawed and, as a result, so is your argument. Start bringing me legitimate proof from a reliable source and I'll listen. My guess is, you won't find any reliable sources for crapola like this but, if you do, I'm all ears. Up until now, all you have proved is that you can copy text from a right wing news source that supports what you really want to believe and paste it here on the board.

    What if the KKK were to organize a rally, but no one who showed up was actually affiliated with the KKK. What would get more coverage in that case-- the actual cause, or who organized the rally?

    Oh yeah. That's a good one.

    Can't wait to tell that one next time I'm in the welfare line, I mean, waiting to get into the Dem Nat'l Conv. :p ;)
