RUN by Republicans. Are these the Republicans to which you refer:

Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Ted Koppel, Dan Rather, Aaron Brown, Chris Mathews, Tim Russert?

Because if that’s who you’re referring to as Right Wing Run you’ve put your flag into a pile of horse pucky and called it grapes. I think I’ve listed anchors for all but Fox here. So where is this Republican influence all over the media, that you imply? So their owned, so what. Even though I don’t believe that to begin with. Is Ted Turner a Right Winger? How about George Soros? Show me the vast Right Wing influence to back up your claim.

And you probably think Fox is far Right, when really it’s just not as Left as the rest.

So if someone doesn’t support what GW and Co. is doing in Iraq, does that also mean they don’t support providing those freedoms to people in the U.S.?

If you think we should have drinking water here in this country, we should have schools, we should have hospitals, we should have freedom of religion or non-religion, we should have sewer lines instead of human waste piling up in the streets, but you don’t think they should have it there in Iraq…

Perhaps you’re being racist. What am I missing? I can’t think of any other reason. But I don’t know you. Since you seem to be a person of the Left, I would have thought you’d be in favor of helping those in need.

So what gives?
