Considering the language that comes out of mainstream right-wing pundits like Coulter and Limbaugh, I'd go further and say it's quite considerably *within* bounds. I never understood all the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Petraeus is a big boy. He can handle being called a name. Regarding Chuck's other point about the KKK, that was a long time ago. Everybody knows that the role of the parties in the South pretty much flipped after the Civil Rights Act. -Patrick _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters Join us in #ramblingwaffles on irc.23x.net
