Again, I am stung to the quick. Howver, I must, at this time, defend myself.
I will leave it to the readers of these threads to conclude whether or not the portion of Mr. Podhoretz's essay was accurate. I read it carefully and noted that he documented one section by quoting from the Butler Commission. It is easy enough to check it out.
Some of the rest of Mr. Podhoretz' comments are also documented. He cites
www.worldwidestandard.com.
It is clear that Mr.Podhoretz' comments are backed up by evidence.
When Mr. Cyclopitchorn comments that Mr. Podhoretz is a neo-con and therefore his comments should carry no weight, I am sure that he realizes that it is the substance that is written and not the messenger that is important. If the messenger is indeed to be the standard, then I am very much afraid that Move On.org and Truthout and Common Dreams would not meet the test.
I note that Mr. Cycloptichorn has played the DREADED RACE CARD.
The race card is a particularly effective weapon which is supposed to silence any type of response because of the shame and ignominy it brings on its bearer.
I must therefore define Racism since a racist would obviously believe in racism.
quote--
"A belief that human races have distinctive characteristics that determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others."
I feel quite confident that Mr. Cyclopitchorn cannot find any statements I have made which fit that definition. Since he cannot, his abortive attempt to stun me with the RACE CARD, is, unfortunately for Mr. Cyclopitchorn, doomed to failure.
Mr. Cyclopitchorn is aware, I am sure, that he need not respond to any post I make. I can assure him that I will not despair if he does not!!
