I could easily say this appears to be an attack on the the people who DO NOT support Bush? By describing at length what galls your side and scarcely mentioning the other. ( all the while trying to give the "fair and balanced" appearance)
You are not claiming your own posts are mostly non-partisan are you?
Personally I really don care whether ONMI exists or not I browse it ocasionally but I didnt bother to apply for posting privilages.. keeps me out (partially anyway) of flame wars.
As I see it almost impossible to prevent members from expressing their opinions on many/most subjects and its going to grate on some others nerves.. that life.

Please note in my original post where I said that this sort of attack was not unique to one side. I was merely giving examples of quotes that
I found to be offensive (as they were directed at me, as a supporter of the President) - the fact that I did not give examples of the other side doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, or that I'm not being "fair and balanced." In fact, I think se94583 saying "spin the pinhead" in
this thread would qualify, or referring to them as the "tin-foil hat club" in
this thread.
What it ultimately meant is that it was late, I was tired and pissed off at that point, and I didn't feel like working myself up any further to find more examples other than what I saw. Now that I've had several hours of sleep, though, I feel better, thank you.
I debated in both high school and college. Bad rhetoric, no matter where it comes from, is galling to me. And I'm saddened to see, that as this thread progresses, that my suspicions re: OMNI timeouts were correct.
They are so few and far between, that it hasn't made a single difference. And the beat goes on, and on, and so on.
