re: #618 Gus 802

Apostasy of the Right! Actually, I remember seeing his name around but it never caught my interest. Isn’t he the one the were calling “Juan” Cole as well?

As for agreeing with someone all the time I’ve found that task to be impossible. Part of the problem is that there are people that will say things to an audience that always agrees. If you’re in that audience and say, “now wait a minute,” even on one topic, you’re immediately cast as an apostate.

There are limits of course with people like Dobson or Perkins with whom I disagree with on most levels. The biggest transgression there is the moralizing value judgments, bombastic pontificating, nosy, anti-personal-liberty, theocracy, xenophobic, homogeneous… rhetoric.

Agreed.
Juan Cole is someone else. This guy.

John Cole is the guy who runs Balloon Juice.
