calvin, calvin, the loudest appluase by a long shot is when letterman
said "support the troops" Nothing was even a close second. Despite your
rantings about lefty this and lefty that it is still this knee jerk
love for war that gets the most arousal out of everyone. yeah, yeah I
know, no matter how you feel about this war or war in general you have
to have a great deal of respect for men and women who put their lives
on the line for whatever reason and they deserve cheers, but that said
it is ironic how you hear what you want and ignore what you want. Also
OReilly had every opportunity to defend himself, give us a break
