For god sake foo_bar what is this load of crappola supposed to be saying?

"The fact that you're now promoting anti-Obama (bold: "The Real Story on Obama") and anti-Clinton "stories" in a country you can't claim as your own should raise a few eyebrows, especially when you possess no apparent familiarity with the geography of the land."

I support Obama. That much should be clear I would have thought.

I am not promoting anything. I do not agree with Glen Ford. But it is interesting. Bill Clinton raised the subject and I thought made a complete fool of himself.

I am merely suggesting that it is good for people to attempt to understand other people's opinions. It is good to argue about facts in an intelligent fashion and it is good to try to understand views which are different to one's own. Scoop.co.nz is and has always been a big tent containing a range of opinions.

Unfortunately around here when people disagree with you (or in this case someone whose article you post on your website) instead of addressing the subject matter there is a tendency to.

1. Smear by association
2. Question motives and suggest outside influence
3. Attack on some other basis (i.e. geography)

And so foo_bar to you sir I say
