GWB is the figure-head of the interests of the monied elite in the US. They are people who want to cut taxes for the ultra wealthy and slash wages for the working class.

The monied elite pull the strings and he moves.

I've asked you to back your ridiculous statements with credible evidence before, and you have failed to do so. Nonetheless, I'll prompt you again - please cite the evidence which led you to this thoughtful, educated conclusion. First define the "moves" you indicate, and then reference the monied elite "puppeteers" who initiated the move.

Ted Rall is one of the most passionate, articulate writers we have in America today. He understands democracy and exposes those who wish to slowly repeal it.

Good to see you've cemented yourself as a troll.

Having an opinion makes one a troll?

I assume what you really mean to say is: having an opinion I don't like = troll.

Correct?

Have you ever read Ted Rall?

Btw, his trollishness has been established over a while now. This is just the icing on the trollish cake. If he had replaced "Ted Rall" with "Michael Savage", I would have come to the same conclusion. Both are nutjobs

1) Yes, I've read Ted Rall.
2) Merely citing/approving/agreeing with nutjobs doesn't make you a troll; it makes you a nutjob, or merely someone who likes and agrees with nutjobs.

Maybe we just have different definitions of what a troll is. I think of it as meaning something along the lines of 'someone who posts on a message board with the explicit and obvious purpose of starting a flame war'.

I think you use it to mean 'someone I don't agree with.'

No, that's my definition as well. So think. Why did he start this thread about Ted Rall if not to stir the shitpot?

So, to answer the OP, I'd like to know what the title of this thread and the content of the OP have to do with each other?
