Nothing gets discussed; no one changes their minds; and instead of helping ANYone to make an INFORMED decision, it all just denigrates into a name-calling, intelligence-insulting mire of bullspit.
If Jack had come back and said something like ~ "Yeah, what's up with Obama not producing his ID? But, hey, you've got Troopergate on the other side..." ~ then that could have been discussed.
For a moderator, Jack isn't exactly the most moderate person in the world.  i mean, for REAL ~ y'all give All New Meaning to the word 'disCUSSion.'

No. This is the point. It wasn't an informed observation. It was trolling, making unjust accusations from the teats of the Conservative Bulls
hit Machine. You don't see us commenting on the accusations about McCain's service during Vietnam. Though they might come from far more credible sources than what you've produced (I think Rolling Stone made an article on it), it's still not relevant to the
political discussion.
And there's no rule against moderators having an opinion. Ethan might go out of his way now and again to provoke argument, but I feel he was fully justified in this instance. Anything you post here which has no relevance or credible sources can be viewed as spam.
