29. The author absolutely implies Tom Harkin is an extremist

She uses an innocuous partial comment of Harkin's as an example of extremism.

Right wing crap and nothing but is what this article is.

You admire it.

She a hater. you post her. She is against what you claim to support. You defend her.

Interesting and revealing.

I don't think that was what the column was saying Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #4
Well, I don't like the 100% flexible word "moderate", which stands for whatever status quo. delrem Nov 2013 #5
why would you say I don't want change? That's ludicrous! Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #6
Because you 100% consistently use the term 'moderate' to defend the status quo. delrem Nov 2013 #7
That's flat out not the case. Look for links where I said it. Here's the deal Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #9
bwahahaha. more like you have a fit at so much as a HINT of criticism of any kind cali Nov 2013 #11

We've all heard those positions from many of the "moderates" here of late. Chan790 Nov 2013 #23
too often "moderates" is a rallying cry to destroy liberals. that's what's wrong with it. cali Nov 2013 #32
