Of Palestinians rejoicing

[Paul Mackin]

Barbara--you stay with all the perpectives you can get. I don't remember David Morris specifically on the topic you mention. Did he lie on the p-list? As for bashing Doug believe me such is frequently all too tempting but I thought I'd pretty well refrained in recent days. Am feeling so much like the reformed drunk. Behaving myself has its rewards but I used to have more fun. 

See ya on the AltNews site.

  Doug, don't you quit with that alternative news, now. Please! I'm learning things,  making bookmarks. I want all the perspectives I can get. I know what mainstream media is feeding me.  I can taste it now clearer than ever. 
  But, Paul, how could you pick on Doug and let David Morris slide? Geeze! What was that one he posted? "Muslim-Americans Hate Country"? Remember how that wide-sweeping claim was supported? a single interview with a 14-year-old Palestinian-American boy.  Good Heavens! I was gonna say something then, but then I remembered I wanted all the perspectives I could get, so I clicked delete. The Palestinian boy, the angry New York journalist, David Morris for seeing fit to post it--they're all perspectives I wanna know about. But I dearly hope they get overshadowed (at least in my little mind) by the likes of Doug and our fine progressive friends out in the world and on the Internet.
