Typical hit and run tactic for bullies : 1. Attack the person who entertains an opposing idea. 2. Push own opinions (decorated with biased examples) as the only sensible strategy. 3. Push own conclusions. 4. Blame the victim and win support by issuing orders to keep political discussions off the list. Once in a while as a break from boating related subjects, I would prefer to hear Walter's genuine opinions about World affairs, rather than see him bullied. Fair winds Ahmet

Steve, You have not received the emails from right-wingers that I have. You have not read Ollie North's column. They all say the the same thing - exactly what Walter said, except they overtly blame the President explicitly. They all parrot the same thing - the first time in 31 years that there has not been a US Navy warship in the Med. These exact same words appear on the few right-wing blogs that I have searched. They all then go on to say what Walter did not - that Obama removed our ships to benefit Muslims! I didn't say it was logical, but it is wondrous how they forget how we got into these wars If you wish to believe that Walter just happened to come up with an innocent question that mirrors what currently pervades right-wing propaganda, that's fine with me. But I know better. Steve, if you want to know about the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, I'd be glad to tell you offline. Walter, keep that crap off this list.

All Walter wrote was essentially a question. And a perfectly innocuous question at that. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to liveaboard-j...@liveaboardonline.com To unsubscribe send an email to liveaboard-le...@liveaboardonline.com The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/liveaboard@liveaboardnow.org The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
