Once again, you ad homenim. The subject I continuously bring up is always avoided, insistence that no other data is pertinent, that no one else has anything to gain except Assad in the gassing of the Syrian People.
It is Party Line right out of your Marxists Groups, and it is delivering the same results that Obama and the MSM desire, that we bomb Syria because they did this, when the proof, form Investigations form the UN and Russia and others that people discount because of their names, will not be looked at. Also what isn't looked at is that if the MSM carry's the drums of war, if one is holding up the MSM's and US Governments 'facts' while investigations are being suppressed by those same sources, one should check their data sources if you find your marching along with them. I no longer can take on face value, your Party Line missives for that reason alone, yours for the reason that no discussion of an issue occurs, it all comes back to pointed remarks at any poster that wants to discuss something, not just me, you added Arhata in this as an attempt to shame them.
