Your last paragraph is a misquote of what I said. I didn't say a thing about your "hurting my feelings," because it will take a hell of a lot more than an inane rant from yet another RW drone to do that. You give yourself far too much credit. I merely said I didn't appreciate your personal editorial on my opinion not being a good example, in YOUR opinion, of how to "think or live." I ask you: Who in the HELL died and made YOU the "decider" of how others should think, live, breathe, eat and sleep??that's why i said you needed to "get over yourself." Understand now? Good, I didn't THINK you did..
Now, on to addressing your points: #1:I didn't say the Wright issue was "manufactured" by the right, as I recall, but I DID say that it had been pushed by the right. I first heard about it as I was channelsurfing through the Hannity-Colmes comedy hour, long before it broke nationally. I don't care if they keep talking about it, if that's what they want. All I am saying is, I doubt if the right was expecting all the "blowback" from the Hagee mess. I maintain that it would never have come about, if not for all the noise about Wright.Let 'em(and you) talk about Wright, and we'll talk about hagee and Parsley every time you do. Works for me..
I never said it wasn't fair game, on either side, so you have managed to miss my original point altogether. Hagee's been talking ridiculous bs for years. I live in his general "neighborhood," and even used to work with some of his "subjects," so I know what I am talking about. he would have gone on campaigning with McCain, and nobody would be making hay of it, had not Wright become such a major focal point. That's why I don't think religion and politics should be mixed. But, since they already have been, thanks to the media and the pundits, "bring it on." Do you get my point now? Good, didn't think so.
#2: See #1, I believe I've already covered it.
#3: Right, they are not the same, McCain's actively seeking Hagee's endorsement ,after failing to check out what's available on You Tube for all the world to see, betrays his basic lack of attention to detail.Obama never asked Wright to endorse him, because politics and religion should be seperated.Wright was his pastor, not a political tool for him to use in a political campaign. Ever hear of that "seperation of church and state" deal? We've already had a bellyful of religious hypocrisy with Bush and his supporters on the religious right who want to collect taxpayer bucks for their phony "faith-based initiatives" so why would anyone in their right mind want another POTUS like that?Mccain sought Hagee's support in order to placate the far right wacko-wing of his party, and it backfired on him, that's all..And you guys are still beating the same tired old, dead horse that is Wright, you're not getting traction any more, and tell the truth-It just frustrates the HELL outta you, doesn't it?
But go ahead, keep on beatin', it's pitiful and fun to watch-all at the same time.
#4: I explained my position on the so-called "Wright issue" pretty thorougly, i believe.
#5: I think it's petty of you to even ask such a ridiculous question. Just stick to discussing issues, and don't attempt to dissect who is "petty" and who is not, alright? Thank you.
