Some posters are simply shameless in their use of RW talking points. It's no longer believable that they just "didn't know".

BTW, as an "attorney", the OP should know you don't get to violate the four paragraph limit on quoting stories by the too cute by half use of ellipses and the combining paragraphs that were separate in the story into single paragraphs.
