I'm not confused. You also quoted it as this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1795958/posts. Why didn't you just
quote it this way in the first place when I have repeated asked you to do
so? Whatever. I have no problem with adding americanthinker.com to the
banned list, too, if that is what you desire.
