As I said it before, Canada has the right to bare breasts, US has the right to bear arms, where would you rather live.
Oh and another thought, you would think he would want to keep it up there to piss off the muslem fundalmentalists every time they have to watch a press conference. But i guess the conservative fundalmentalists are just as screwed up morally.

Erm... The article said he had nothing to do w/ it. Why is everyone assuming he did? Honestly, I believe that he really does have more important concerns at the moment (and always, for that matter).
I don't like the guy either, but I'm not going to blame him for every random little thing that has his name associated w/ it somehow.

I'm with Tim. It was Ashcroft's Puritanical Staff, not Ashcroft. Which isn't to say he isn't a puritancial git as well, it's just that in this case that's irrelevant.

Not everyone. I'm not. I'm assuming ABC either got it wrong, or spun it that way.
Why?
Because it's easier for them to hate him that way. 'S all part of the Grand Fib. They say you aren't allowed to hate anybody or anything... but it's only so long as THEY support it.
At least, that's my opinion. Of course, now I've put this thread in candidacy for the flameboard. Oh, well.

Of course, the spokesman for the Justice Department could've gotten it wrong, or spun it that he had nothing to do with it.
But, Rob's got a hard-on for the press, so whenever they're in the situation, they must be wrong. But, then again, 'Rob' and 'logic' don't go in the same sentence very well. He's been brainwashed by the right-wing ... it's sad, buit oh-so true. :rollseyes:
Given that 'the press' tends to copy and pass on its stories, (which is why you find that (AP) in the byline so often, and near-identical articles in every paper), it's not even a wild assumption. Somebody reports something, whether or not its entirely accurate, and everybody jumps on the bandwagon.
People have hoaxed the press, even major networks, before, you know. If people can hoax them, incorrect data or rumors can get passed on just as easily... or would you now be insisting that former prez George Bush died in Japan, if CNN had reported it, as they were about to that day he had the flu and barfed in that dignitary's lap?
You've just got a mad-on against anybody who has a different opinion, or even proposes a different possibility, from your own.
And _I_ can do right.

I've got a 'mad-on'? No, Rob. I can tolerate those with differing opinions. However, I do have to point out when they act irrationally (as you and Omega do so often).
