- I have to admit that I wish Clinton did not Waffle so much in the election,
- but compared to this he has balls.

- Rush said; animals can not enter into contracts therefore animals do not
- have rights. Now I pointed out that this could be applied to abortion and
- suddenly everyone said, no Rush didn't mean A he meant B. When I examine
- B then its no Rush didn't mean B he meant C. Over time we get closer and
- closer to the assertion that Animals don't have rights because animals
- don't have rights. (Which is what you are saying)

- Talk about endless revisionism and relativism. I don't know what scares me

- the ability to covertly employ these techniques on the right.
