Comments on: At least someone was honest http://www.blackinformant.com/commentary/at-least-someone-was-honest Engaging the culture by challenging the status quo Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:52:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MIB http://www.blackinformant.com/commentary/at-least-someone-was-honest/comment-page-1#comment-6384 MIB Sat, 17 May 2008 00:04:51 +0000 http://blackinformant.com/?p=4355#comment-6384 There are times when honesty should take a back seat to tact. Sargent wouldn't be doing himself or his readers much justice by ripping opponents, because they'll likely respond by not granting him interviews in the future. My main gripe with you hasn't been about bias, but getting your facts correct. Biases are natural. However, they're not a justification for misinformation or disinformation. To illustrate, there is a difference between a liberal and a progressive. Progressives are a subset of (generic) liberalism; all liberals <i>aren't</i> progressives. Neoliberals, anarcho-socialists, and civil libertarians are among the other subsets of liberalism. There are times when honesty should take a back seat to tact.

Yes I have been critical of Conservatives, but not on the same level as I have been with Liberals. That is a fact that has been clear on this site from jump and something I never tried to "hide". Find me someone who is perfectly straight down the middle and I will sell you a small tropical island somewhere in the Pacific. You on the other hand....awwww skip it! ;) Wizz,

Don't claim, as you have to me several times, to be just as critical of conservatives as you are of liberals. Because it clearly is not true. And I will respect that you are finally admitting that.
