[Vision2020] NYTimes: The Big Hate

[g. crabtree]

I don't give two hoots in hell about your appology. I'm "suggesting" that you can't back up your repeated assertion regarding my views on slavery and the holocaust and that you are now trying to shift the discussion in an effort to avoid owning up to it. Believe me when I say this comes as no suprise.

  Gary,


  Are you suggesting that you never defended Wilson, or his views on slavery? Do you think Wilson's views are as crazy as those of the holocaust denier? If so, then say so and I'll issue an appology!

    I'm still waiting for you to back up the "defends Wilson's book in slavery" and "my saying that "slavery wasn't so bad" or that the holocaust never happened." 

    Seems odd that you would be so adamant that others move mountains to back up their remarks (even though you disregard it when they do) and yet fecklessly refuse to do so yourself. Not much for accountability are ya?
