I know that was no 'deflect'...You don't do that anyway so, I'd never even think it. You state your perspective. It's practically makes my day...lol

I would argue again that it's more of a "fight or flight" response. It's always a "war" on something. War on Christmas for example. We got bigger fish to fry so why does FOX 'LEGS!' dwell on it the entire holiday season, assuring children on air that Santa is white. They only do that on FOX 'LEGS!' and no other cable news stations. Is it news or hate to assure ALL children Santa is white?

But yeah, a fight or flight response. How else does tons o'people suddenly hold signs and protest who'd never considered it or even thought it was lame, militant etc. Everyone's suddenly knitting pink hats. Tea Party was astroturf at first, but really caught fire(obviously). You don't hear "Tea Party" anymore. The brand is tainted.

Just fighting against clean renewable energy should raise a 'red' flag saying PROFITS!!! and an air raid siren.
