OK. I can see you are continuing to edit your post. But I fail to see, still, how the information you provided in any way supports your assertion that it was not republicans or conservatives who came up with "Macacawitz". Can you provide a link or reference to the word being used by a non-conservative earlier than the link I provided to its use at The National Review on September 19? Can you provide a link discussing the possible origin of the 'word' "macacawitz" with more cr

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but one can't help but recognize patterns. It is after all, fairly natural to see order and reason in things, even when it is not there. But at times it seems that the ever dwindling Bush supporters are somehow all reading from the same page. I'm sure it is just a coincidence, for example, that on the same day a blogger on JoeUser.

So, let's get this straight. A staffer uses a made up word, which Republicans came up with and which had been used dozens of times before online, including by the certainly Non-Democrat John "Foley is Dems Fault" Podhoretz at <a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ODBiODMwNzYyMjA2ZmU3YTVjNT

I hate to rain on the parade, but this was not written by an 86 year old woman.

Regarding the deletion of all comment content during editing, on my end, I can replicate it in this manner. From the "Add A Reply:" section at a bottom of a thread, I click Advanced Mode.

drmiler, that link works for me. The fact that it is hosted on an archive site just means thefreerepublic.com has changed their website sometime in the past six years. The vitriol of the republican constituancy of the time clearly demonstrated. You choose to ignore the links I made to contemporaneous news sources quoting elected Republicans blatantly implying that they felt terrorism was not as important as Clinton thought it was. I feel

If he does not need to make up facts, then he shouldn't do it. I guess that last post was too filled with actual information for you to internalize it. I'll put it succinctly. Clinton did not "strenuously argue that he did 'everything in his power'", as Draginol claims. That is a statment of fact, by directly attributing a quote. It is a stament of an untrue, that is, made up, fact, as Clinton never used those words. He said ".

Reply to Simple Zoomer Question in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Setting activation to rectangular is actually probably a good idea. If your image has totally transparent areas, and is set to activate on visible area, as the image animates, the mouse will at time be over and not over the image. Which means it triggers the animation multiple times. Which gets stored in a queue ready to animate as soon as the previous animations finish. So you can end up, if you wave the mouse pointer quickly on and off such a zoomer, having the animation run agai

In response to drmiler: Well, I'm not going to defend politicians for being idiots. It should be pointed out, though, that the means for disarming or, rather, containing to no arms, Iraq, are the important issue. Sanctions, inspectors, and so on were working. Obviously, as we haven't found any weapons of mass destruction. Although, you wouldn't know that if you took President Bush at his word. In 2003 on Polish TV, he claimed

I am not claiming non-U.S. citizens have, or even should have, all the rights granted to actual U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution.
