Gives me an excuse as well. ;)

I just think you could be a little more understanding about why Clark supporters get more than a little defensive when they see an OP like the one you posted, and some of your comments down-thread.

You say Clark could have called O'Reilly on his lie with a single sentence or phrase. Likewise, you probably could have defused a lot of the suspicion of your motives by saying something positive in your OP. You know, assuming you saw anything positive in it. Not trying to put words in your mouth.

That's not to excuse anyone who may be jumping to conclusions about your motives based on run-ins with others in the past. Just saying we all need to be on the same side, and generally supportive of all of our leadership who are trying to do the right thing.
