Comments on: I like this one, too http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/03/07/i-like-this-one-too/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

But there is an indirect Rockford connection. I think I recognize one of the guys in the crowd as Bob Howard, who was the plaintiffs' attorney in the People Who Care desegregation suit against the Rockford School District.

Besides what evidence? the ones they made up or the "big" security failure? Wasn’t that speech given here in Rockford?

Besides what evidence? the ones they made up or the “big” security failure?

Actually there are many in government who would like the public to believe that. That way, they have no accountability. This is how dictatorships operate.

He gets my acknowledgement of that. But he is also the blowhard that said on CNN that said "I took the initiative in creating the internet" in front of Wolf Blitzer and millions of viewers. That is a FACT. He's a blow hard. Obama on the other hand could not vote on any war initiative, could not read any secret documents relating to the war to formulate an educated opinion. He too is a blow hard...of hope. Dude, Gore passed a bill beneficial to the Internet. He gets my acknowledgement of that.

You're not really that thick, are you? He could oppose it the same way I opposed it, and I couldn't vote on it either. You're saying that only members of Congress could oppose the Iraq war? I'm not surprised, then, that you're also sticking with that stupid theory that Gore has claimed more credit for the Internet than he deserves (when all the evidence -- I mean ALL the evidence -- indicates that he does deserve such credit). I have a question for you, Kaus: Do you regularly send along fact-free comments just to goad me? Please don't tell me that you actually believe such drivel.
