Reply #15: the question is moot [View All]

Of course, I am not sure how the question comes about, but it seems to me that if you have an argument attacking Bush, that must be answered by an argument defending Bush. If it is answered by an attack on Clinton, then that person is just admitting that they cannot defend Bush. If you allow yourself to be drawn into the task of defending Clinton, then you have let yourself be distracted. OTOH if there is a thread or discussion attacking Clinton, I probably would not join in because it is pretty irrelevant to what is going on now anyway.
Sure the site has that incendiary quote about people who care about the past, but it is one thing to care about the past from your easy chair or press box, and it is another thing to still be analyzing 1st down when the other team is getting ready to run on 3rd and 4. If you get distracted thinking about 1st down, they will blow you off the field. Activists need to be proactive, and not retroactive.
