I am under the impression people on truth-out do post on DU and vice versa. I wrote that original thread about two years ago, and I believe only one person point-blank agreed with me. It has not been until recently that several people at DU have come out and suggested what I said - by that I mean questioning if the right-wingers are not the equivalent of economic terrorists. That is why I think many of us are converging at a point where we are all thinking very similar thoughts about them and their actions.
We have allowed this to go on too long and it has done too much harm.
