Re: [Swprograms] CPB meddling

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, let's keep this thread going.  Please give me concrete examples  
of the "left wing propaganda" and "leftist social agenda" of which you  
speak.

If you're going to make sweeping generalizations like this, you should  
not be surprised if someone asks you to cite specifics.  My experience  
with this sort of thing is that people usually can't back up statements  
like these and tend to ignore requests for clarification like this; but  
I'm counting on you surprising me.

Cordially,
John Figliozzi
