(However a zabasearch.com does show what seems to be one couple named POTOK in Vermont.) Anyone with a little time and blogging ability and a leftist desire to crush dissent from any human who doesn't believe in Karl Marx is all you need - but make sure you call it something noble like crushing racism. It does sound like a good idea to have a page where all this info is listed and links are easy to follow so we can see if this is hype or not. <BR/>gee whizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996782513172884205.post-24808922972745568872007-10-07T11:36:00.000-04:002007-10-07T11:36:00.000-04:00It seems that if there are real concerns you are t...It seems that if there are real concerns you are trying to communicate, you would set up a separate page that would like these individuals, links to evidence of allegations you make, etc. in an easily identifiable way. Who is going to try to make their way through all these blog entries. ONly people searching internet for specific info might find most of yours. Why not set up your own page with all this so people can better use and evaluate it??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996782513172884205.post-26853894102419188832007-10-07T11:06:00.000-04:002007-10-07T11:06:00.000-04:00Just read a couple articles about secession confer...Just read a couple articles about secession conference and through wiki got to this page. Interesting exchange. However, I have to wonder if you are not making libelous claims by attacking everyone and his brother who isn't a liberal democrat as racists. Sure, racists who make explicit racist statements should be exposed and you seem to do that, but this top post and your links tar everyone and their brother. PLus you link to groups that have cried wolf so often, or abused innocent people like Jimmy Carter or Desmond Tutu, that no serious person takes them seriously.<BR/>REaderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996782513172884205.post-56421376265592903172007-10-06T17:48:00.000-04:002007-10-06T17:48:00.000-04:00Yes, Mark, think about treating people better.

Or maybe you just hate capitalists. It's possible to expose real racists and convince them to change their ways or convince others to disassociate with them without smearing anyone who may have some minor association with them. THAT is probably what is meant by being divisive. Keep it up and you'll see the black blockers and the militias fighting it out in the street -- oh, no, that's right they ALL hate the government. Even the Gathering of Eagles may have trouble supporting HILLARY's War. And have a fit when Hillary OR Rudy tries to take their guns away.
