Replying to a comment on Steve Novick's Misleading E-Mail

your point about iraq is just more obfuscation; novick spoke out against the iraq war in a willy week interview on 08-06-2003. read it, and then please correct your merkley spin, i mean, article:

http://wweek.com/story.php?story=4188

here's the quote, e called it:

"An oil grab and public-relations gimmick, sold on false pretenses, which is now producing $4 billion a month's worth of chaos."

that link was right on the wikipedia entry for steve novick. you obviously didn't even try to find a source.

imho, the fight over the tester comparison is getting pretty old. if you want to just take superficial criteria and compare them, you can make either candidate more like him (missing extremities? steve/tester check. the non-establishment choice? steve/tester check, unorthodox campaign? steve/tester check, not afraid to criticize other democrats? steve/tester. etc).

the only point you make that passes muster is is the hr2 omission. no, it doesn't tell the full story. however, if you are going to call steve on that, then you should call merkley on the outright lie about novick "Recently" supporting nader.
