Got your note about the article. I stopped reading that particular writer's drivel a long time ago. Thanks for the promo in your comment.

I agree with Spencer's comment. Further discussing things under a post like that only gives undeserved attention to his nonsense. But thanks for referring unsuspecting readers to better posts, such as by Steve B., Chris W., David K., and you and me.

I wouldn't get too concerned about him. All through the campaign over nearly two years he posted smoe of the most outlandish stuff you could immagine but he never or maybe very rarely post comments or responses to those who leave comments. No such thing as a dialog with him and most I am aware don't read him at all. I think he has a fixation on the absurd and will not write about the other side. I made a comment a day or two ago because I wanted to though I knew it would not get a response. Personally I'd ignore him.

Try THIS view from the NYT. MUCH more reasonable AND accurate. I cannot stand the author you pointed me toward. Such BS.

I try to RARELY get my news and views from Gather peeps unless I trust them IMPLICITLY.

Not to worry. He is so far out in space I am not sure if he breathes air from this atmosphere. He is so stuck in right wing republican rhetoric if a dem says it is raining he will set out to prove it is snowing in July.
