    The only thing distorted is the view from the left.

    a view from the far left is distorted, just as a view from the far right is going to be distorted. it's kind of inherant in the wording.

    i'd like to hear just what you think is so wrong with the far left, bing. stick to real issues. like i think the far right is wrong because it advocates war and intolerance and stripping freedoms from everyone while denying freedoms to select groups that most americans enjoy and take for granted. they also like to support big business and destroy the environment, and they like to ignore the separation of church and state clause. also, they like guns, even if they do kill things like people. that's just a couple.

    so tell me what's so wrong with the left. and don't say we're communists, because we're not. socialism has its moments. communism doesn't work. don't say we all stick together and tow the party line, because you do that too. it's not a good point to make. stick with issues.

    like what's wrong with protecting the environment, protecting our freedoms and extending basic civil liberties to homosexuals? what's really wrong with that?

    Andy: "...The way Gore speaks...who could stay awake long enough to know?..."

    Did you actually listen to the speech?
