Right. Max Sawicky and Chip Berlet shrink from political debate. Is your idea of "debate" a conversation among people who basically agree with each other?
The "redundancy of actually being 'police agents'"? I don't know whether the adjective that leaps most prominently to mind is ludicrous, offensive, scurrilous, delusional, or sad.
Happily, this thread had been petering out until you brought it back to life. This time it really should die or I'm going to kill it.
