I won’t refer to all of Jim’s red herrings and straw men, but I will address a few of his completely dishonest mischaracterizations:

1. Liberals do not advocate choosing abortions. People who are pro-choice advocate choice. But you already knew that didn’t you?

2. No one to my knowledge, liberal or conservative, was hoping for a disaster in war. Perhaps you could provide some evidence for your sweeping generalization.

3. Patty Murray never praised bin Laden; she merely explained why so many people in the Muslim and Arab world revered him. But you already knew that too, didn’t you?

I realize it is convenient to lie and distort in order to fulfill your desires to bash people with whom you disagree.

Unfortunately all you do is call attention to your inability to engage in intellectual discourse.
