We have more than enough trolls here already !

Given the fact that I’ve chosen to work full time for an organization whose principle activity is fighting the Left I’m quite aware how “obsessed” I am with it.

Your key problem here Jeremy is that in unleashing your attacks on me you have sought to criticize before seeking to understand. As such your criticisms (as incoherent and scattershot as they are) are ineffective.

It’s quite a nice read actually… maybe you don’t realize how obsessed with the Left you really are.

9/22/09 – “You are aware of the fact that your foreign policies views are all but identical to that of the anti-American Left don’t you?”

9/22/09 – “Does it make you pause at all, knowing that you find common cause with those who seek to destroy America? Who will you quote next? Noam Chomsky? The Nation?”

9/22/09 – “… your views align with the Chomskys of the world. I’m not going to label you as an individual as somehow anti-patriotic of un-American. (Not yet at least.) I don’t know you.” (This one is especially funny is you refer back to your first quote!)

9/23/09 – “…Paul’s foreign policies views and those of his supporters line up with the views of people in the political Left who openly denounce America.”

10/19/09 – “You mean he’s a war criminal according to leftist foreign policy analysts. I think I know what books you’ve been reading and who’s influenced your foreign policy views…”

10/19/09 – (In reference to me saying David assumes my views are “Leftist” based on his own experience as one… I said, “Laying some ground work helps to convey my point, especially when I know the information is probably brand new to the reader.”) “As an ex-leftist the views certainly aren’t new to me since I used to hold variations of them myself. But I imagine they would be new to others.”

10/20/09 – “You provide further evidence that Paulastinians such as yourself are possessed of the same religious approach to politics as the Left.”

Ok read it. Ummmm………. speechless! I respect that as a life lesson between you and you father and will never poke fun at people’s relationships with parents or family, that is wrong. However I will point out that it is opinion!

The great thing about my last name is that when I meet someone for the first time and they choose to crack a joke about it then it’s an IMMEDIATE reflection of character.

Commenting here is not a right. I run the blog and I enforce the rules. Your comments show up because I allow them to show up. If you’re not going to abide by the commenting guidelines that have been written then I don’t have to let you continue to poison the community.

“You have also failed to show how someone who does not support terrorism is a Leftist, which has been my stance here all along. As of yet, your labels and assumptions are bogus and so is this article based on the way you covered the debate.

You don’t have to be on the left or right to know that supporting terrorists is wrong.

What’s the matter with you?”

David, why does not supporting terrorism make me a Leftist again? You completely turned the course of our debate when your favorite word, “Leftist”, came up. We were talking about Israel and her allies and their support and funding of terrorism until I asked for clarification on why you continue to label me a “Leftist.” You obviously took it as me saying, “Dum deee dum… what does left and right mean…… duhhh…. I don’t get it…..”

From your (my!) article… “Jeremy wanted to make this observation of his ignorance of the Left as “just a side note,” but as those familiar with my writings and life history would probably guess, I preferred to give it a whole page. This was really the root of our disagreements about foreign policy:”

It just so happens that you are obsessed with the “left” and “right” so naturally you would think that is the root of the issue. It’s hard to disagree on whether or not supporting terrorism is good, which was the point of our foreign policy debate, but somehow you are still holding out on saying that the U.S. and Israel should not fund terrorists. Astonishing when you continue to argue that Israel could be easily destroyed by terrorists without our aid.

So, here we are now on my own little special article that takes my original questioning of “Leftist” out of context and I still wonder… what is it that makes me a Leftist according to David Swindle?
