[Vision2020] A "Peace" of Grass---featuring a GI in Iraq

This post by Wayne is a perfect example of what I term "dog piling".

Why does he choose to continue the rhetoric after the principles have
apparently backed off?

I invite you to read his post with an open mind and then the post of mine he
is refering too and make your own decision as to who has their foot in the
slime.

Wayne detests name calling only because it is not up to speed with his own
brand of distasteful verbage.  He thinks he is soooo cool just because he
can insult people without actually calling them names.  The results are
identical but Wayne can't see that.

There is no difference Wayne.  You definately are not above the fray.  I
won't respond by calling you names, other than to say I have no respect for
idiots.
