Which is exactly my point of contention.  Both sides had points but I 
was left confused as to which side I'd be on if I even felt like taking 
a side.  I take issue with people blindly supporting anything.  If it 
looked like I was blindly supporting Moore... well sorry I suppose.  I 
take everything with a grain of salt.. I question everything...I do 
take issue with people having so much stored hatred and readily 
distributing it once they've made their minds up on one side or another 
of an issue.
