Content-Type: --089e0149bce2b7e1c904efe4c794 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 If it's OK to post "There is only one way to defeat Harper and his capitalist agenda," or " Harper has to go OK", or "He is, in my view, a great threat to everything..." then it's not clear to me what is wrong with "weary lefty rhetoric." which is, I think, fair comment on what was posted previously on this thread. None of this is appropriate on this list IMO - including my own comments, though Doug so help me I held off as long as I could - and it pisses me off.
