In fact, I did indeed miss your link about your comment policy and apologize for my little hissy fit there. And I apologize to your other readers. I shouldn't have automatically assumed that my comments were going to be filtered just because they might differ from everyone else's. I've run into that situation before on both sides of the aisle and just wish we all could be more civil and tolerant of everyone else and their opinions. Sister Toldjah @ 3/27/2006 – 7:58 am

Thanks, Sister Toldjah. In fact, I did indeed miss your link about your comment policy and apologize for my little hissy fit there. And I apologize to your other readers. I shouldn’t have automatically assumed that my comments were going to be filtered just because they might differ from everyone else’s. I’ve run into that situation before on both sides of the aisle and just wish we all could be more civil and tolerant of everyone else and their opinions.

If so you might want to call yourself a Rightwing extremist instead. Just because "your kind" is referred to as "right" doesn't mean that you are. Christ was a Communist, always remember that.

What does the things you listed have anything to do with this person? Heck, he was treated like he was running for president or something. This was not about plagiarism, while what he did is not right, it was NOT the first thing he was attacked on. His family was attacked and smeared, the fact he was homeschooled, ect Until they got around to the plagiarism that happened ages ago. I am not condoning what he has done in the past, but I am saying let's be realistic and truthful when we say why he was attacked, because it certainly wasn't plagiarism. MJ,

I've been told not to bother commenting on some blogs because sometimes if you disagree with the politics of the author of the blog, you'll get attacked by a "pack of cyber pit bulls." O.K., fine. Perhaps our great all-encompassing tent isn't big enough for dissenting opinions within our party, but party fundraisers shouldn't continue to expect me to pull out my northeastern traditional Republican wallet and/or checkbook as often if my voice won't be allowed to be heard. Just.saying. (In case you're keeping track, I found you in the trackbacks in the blog "ben_domenech_resigns" over at The Post and visited your site because I was interested in what voices aross the nation are saying about this topic.)

Whoever said the right wants to get along with the left? The right wants to pound the ideas coming from the left into grease spots, and has been for years. If the Left, on the other hand wants to participte in the debate of ideas, they could start by dropping their stars -- Howard Dean, Mrs. Clinton, Mo Dowd, George Clooney et. al. and find people able to argue without screeching. There is a reason our side is called right. “If the Right wants to get along with the Left,…”
