143. Uh, I am an Edwards
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 09:39 AM by spooky3
supporter. So the personal attacks on my motives have no weight. My posts on this thread have nothing to do with partisanship. Don't believe me? Check my posts since before 2004. Ask Catchawave or some of the other long time Edwards supporters.

And I'll have to ask you to trust me on this - I have made many small donations to Edwards' campaign, but never to Clinton's.

What I do is sometimes object to unfair, ad hominem attacks on any good Democrat, whether they be Obama, Clinton, Edwards, etc., or people who don't hold or seek public office or appointments. I've read Krugman for years and think his columns are excellent, though he, like everyone else sometimes gets it wrong or says things you or I could disagree with.

So you are missing the point entirely. Once again, if you do not like WHAT KRUGMAN (or someone else) says, attack the content of the remarks with evidence. Personal insults directed toward a person or his or her characteristics or achievements display a lack of knowledge, a weak case, or worse. Attacking my motives is just more evidence of your weak case.
