Others have made similar remarks - on both sides of the fence.

While Bill may be off the mark, I would also note that some of those
supposedly attacking tyrants and communists have been a bit fast and 
loose as well.

Sen. McCarthy* comes to mind.  I am learning a lot from the notes 
posted here, but attacks on the person (of whatever persuasion)
do not illuminate.

If you think Bill is baiting you, perhaps the best tactic is to stick
to the facts and ignore words without substance.  Help those of us 
in the sidelines with real facts and arguments.

With appreciation for the facts and respect to all,
