Well if the direct link is that they both owned guns and that it is about letting the actions of a few dictate your policy toward the many, isn't that a little too universal? The only link is owning guns? Who are the many and the few? Gun owners of the world? Law enforcement, criminals, military, hunters, citizens defending themselves from columbine types? Shouldn't there be something more substantial linking NRA members with the Columbine killers, such as the Columbine killers actually being NRA members (so it would be about the "actions of a few" NRA members "dict[ating] your policy toward the many" NRA members)--that is, if your using the Heston analogy to dissuade you from what Stewart considered being a valid point--sensitivity to the meaning of the mosque's location? Didn't that meaning involve members of the religion building the mosque killing the 9/11 victims in the name of that religion?

As for arguments vs opinions, I can go drub up references that have helped form my opinions to construct a more rounded argument, but I'm not sure it's worth the time. In the middle of that post my wife blessed me with a 14 day old son, or well, at least she handed him to me

I'm sure you could, and it wouldn't be worth it.

Children are a blessing and worth more than all the words in the universe. Bless you and your wife for bringing that blessing into our world. I sincerely mean that.


Perhaps quality is the wrong word, as Rush's show is very high quality in a perverted sort of way.

You've called him a whore. You've said he pedals porn. Now it's perversion. Hmmm. You sure that you don't avoid him for fear of some deep seated, perverse sexual thing?

I never implied it became a big deal because of FOX, simply that the rhetoric used on the network isn't seen on other cable networks, at least that I see.

That's why FOX is different from the other networks. They all use the same rhetoric. FOX's rhetoric is different.

Context refers to the snippets in the video that you said were taken out of context.

I was referring to the Nazi tourette video, not the Stewart, when I referred to out of context snippets. Just a misunderstanding.

Get back to the little ones. This stuff is unimportant.
