Agreed. Seems to me that he was possibly so "open-minded" that his brains fell out.quote:Originally posted by NashBama:
A very important line from the article.
"In a 1998 interview with The Associated Press, Zinn acknowledged he was not trying to write an objective history, or a complete one."
Revisionist historians are not heroes or patriots.

"Preace Prize?" Is that a prize for peaceful preachers?

Nuteral? Isn't that a procedure for your dog or cat?
Does that mean I don't get a Nobel Spelling prize?

Whetever be their political stance, I hardly value the opinion of an overrated rocker and a so-so actor to inform me.

Since I poated the material you are quoting early this morning, I have to wonder how you might have started to post it last night. Are you psychic? Or maybe just psycho?

Are you that dumb? The news came out late last night. People don't die at your convenience. But thanks for "poating" it anyway.

No it means you got some of your own stuff back. You posted the following:
"Nuteral? Isn't that a procedure for your dog or cat?"
I was just giving you trouble for the same kind of stuff you were gigging Pogo on!

You are the dumb one. In your post, "this" could have referred to nothing other than what you quoted immediately above from my post, which was "Zinn was brilliant, incisive and right on the mark most of the time!"
You obviously would not have posted THAT, but nevertheless it was the obvious antecedent of your "this." Clumsy of you, but that is how your post literally is interpreted. Be more careful to say just what you mean.
