I genuinely said the 'loony right' meaning, as opposed to the non loonies.

To me, and I apologize for not being clear, were the kind of people called for murder trials for the writer and the kind of people who assume any story that is critical of something in the US (or specifically, something by this administration) then it is automatically a lie and proof that the media is just out to get him.

Even when Newsweek retracted, they did so because their source recanted. It was never as if Newsweek was trying making stuff up. Which is how the 'loonies' immediately characterized it.

Apologies to any sensible Republicans.

On a related note, it is still unproven if the even ever happened. I believe from the beginning, it has always been said that there were reports of Koranic Degradation (I know that's not a real phrase but it sounded right) but they were never substantiated.

Clearly, there were reports of incidents, but it is unknown how reliable they are.

I don't think most people are like Jax, trippin or Utah.

Matter of fact, I think it was MMMMMMM who is from the right and I've enjoyed my debates with him. He seems smart and able to articulate his viewpoint so you can see where he's coming from even if you ultimately come to a different conclusion.

Last... for the record, my Mother and Father have been mostly life-long Republicans. My mom changes years ago and my father is hovering (he is still an old school republican but has a lot of problems with the way the party has changed over the years... he doesn't really think they stick to traditional Republican issues.) Point being that I respect my father, have healthy debates with him and we often can sway others on individual issues.

When I mock the right, its usual the Limbaugh Lite/Coultier wannabes. I don't think they represent the majority of the right... but they tend to be the most vocal.
