While I often do cut and paste articles, please show where I've intentionally lied or presented information that was not true on DU. Also show where I bash Kerry or Obama, otherwise you're living up to your name.

Go through my Journal on DU3 or DU2.

I stand behind when I write. And if I do make a mistake, I admit it and apologize. With 40,000 posts, that has happened surprisingly few times.

So, please show where I post BS, otherwise don't smear me.
