A mentally ill homeless man will serve 57 months in federal prison for threats he made against President Bush.

Timothy Wade Pinkston threatened in August to go to Washington and shoot Bush. At the time, the 48-year-old was committed to a hospital psychiatric unit.

“Yeah, I don’t do cowering.”

Mr. Obama replied

I’m convinced of my views, just as you are convinced of yours. So who’s to say who is right or wrong?”

Political arguments are not created equal, and do not all have equal merit. Even less so, political rants and diatribes. There are many objective criteria with which an unbiased spectator might judge whether or not an argument is strong or weak, and whether a position is well or poorly defended. Here, briefly, are just a few such criteria. Having taught numerous courses in Critical Thinking, I can testify that this list merely scratches the surface of a vast topic.

ibid:

And while you are at it, ask yourself: (1) Which side is more willing to own up to its past positions, predictions, and assurances? (2) Which side examines the broader field of source material? (3) Which side looks for the most relevant information, even if that information is absent from the corporate media? (4) Which side is more tolerant of dissent, both within and outside of its ranks? (5) Which side uses the more cogent arguments? And (6) which side relies less on fallacious reasoning?

And two from the comments:

In short, using reason on people who have abandoned reason is about as useful as bringing a catcher's mit to a game of tennis.

Ahh, democracy.

Feingold, Dodd, Boxer and Wyden are heroes to the Republic!

Wyden, who we had to google, appears to be a Senator The PoorMan is right. Obama needs to get on board or risk losing the moral imperative.

Chimpy at 23%

We bet he will have the lowest ratings ever...until he bombs Iran, when he's rating will bumb.

The survey found public approval of President Bush's job performance at a new low for the Times/Bloomberg Poll: only 23% approved of the job Bush is doing, and 73% disapproved.

God, who are thse 23% lowlifes? What sort of horrid human beings are they?

Thailand is on the verge of another coup because of that Samak asshole, and still they have the time to demand justice from ChimpCo.

Goddam, good for them! Say hello to YellowCakeWalk

Who is the right wing base if not the nationaly disgraced Lush Limbaugh?

On the June 23 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, Rush Limbaugh was asked by a caller: "I want to know how the Republicans don't need Christians and conservatives, and they think we're 30 percent. Twelve percent black people in the population. Ten percent -- they claim -- homosexuals in the population. Rush, honey, when did 30 percent get to be a small number?" Limbaugh responded, "Let me see if I can get your question right. You want to know why the Republicans are willing to say, 'Screw you,' to 30 percent or more of their voters and yet Democrats will bend over, grab the ankles, and say, 'Have your way with me,' for 10 percent and 2 percent of the population?" He later stated: "There is an answer to your -- basic question is, 'Why don't the Democrats say, "To hell with you, you wacko nuts in the base," like Republicans do?' "

The state of Florida has agreed to buy nearly 200,000 acres of land from a major sugar producer in a $1.7 billion deal to help restore the Everglades

US Sugar should have had the land taken from them, fined and sent to jail for abusing half of Florida for over 75 years.

labor activists have accused it of mistreating its workers and environmental activists constantly blame the firm for ravaging the Everglades.

Big Sugar did block the flow and suck the water out of the Everglades, converting its saw grass marshes into cattail clumps and inspiring one of the most contentious pollution lawsuits in U.S. history.
