The point of this whole thread was whether people pick on one time 
comments unfairly.  It started with the current picking on Kerry, and I 
agreed with you that this was wrong.  But then someone else picked on 
the Republicans because that person interpreted their statements as 
saying Democrats are traitors.  I pointed out that this is just as bad 
as picking on Kerry.

Now, if you want to change the subject to "are the Democrats really into 
appeasement," that is fine.  I'm not feeling up to that discussion right 
now, but maybe someone else wants to get into it.

In the meantime, let's stay on subject.  Do you feel that those 
statements of Rove were meant to imply that Democrats are traitors?
