My sports site has a political board that has moved from right to left....
I am ecstatic about it. This site is a Georgia site, and has always been mostly right-wing. I went there today and found many points of view I agree with.

I did want to point out one the rightie's post though. He is trying to defend Bush going to war. The topic was in regards to the Downing Street Memo. He actually says that he's okay with Bush lying about taking us into war.

Check out the whole thread if you want to see how stupid these people can be.

Incorrect. I've claimed that he all along mislead us as to "WHY" we went to war, and that he was right to do so. I have and continue to claim that he did not "lie" or fabricate intel or evidence to show that Saddam wasn't complying with the UN resolutions, and you have not one shred of evidence to show that he did.

2. I think Blix and Kay would beg to differ. They said as much.

3. My college sport's board is turning the tide too.
A year ago, I was pretty sure I was the only liberal on the board. Nowadays, it's half and half. In one political discussion (argument) there, about 3 or 4 of us liberals teamed up against 3 or 4 of the BushBots there. It felt good to have other people on my side.

4. Agree... it was actually making me less of a fan...
especially around the election. As a matter of fact, I cancelled my subscription from this site after they wrote an article saying that the Georgia players supported Bush getting re-elected. The article was total bullshit considering they only talked to two or three white guys. Most of the players on the team are black.

5. That's Great To Hear...The Vent Is The Best and Edgiest Board...
on the Rivals network anyway. The main board even has a night crew. That board never rests.
