There should not be a double standard. The whole thing has gotten out of hand. Too many people want to defend their side rather than what's right. It is short sided thinking to want to dismiss one side's dirt because the other side got away with their's. In the long run, and probably sooner than later, this current cycle will destroy our country.

I don't believe that was the intent. In my opinion, it showed everyone except James in a positive and very powerfully inspiring light. Did you see any of that? I was genuinely proud to see the work that was being done. Being pro-life myself I'm looking forward to the day when this crime is no longer legal. I'm looking forward to the day when homosexuality is not regarded as a normal accepted lifestyle. I was happy to see Christians active in exposing the truth. I'm not a political person formost. I believe God is bigger and more important than any politics of any gonvernment. So, for me, James O'keefe brought the tone of his story on himself. There is an important moral line that is crossed when someone moves from exposing wrongs to fabricating situations to promote an agenda. There is no blessing that. When someone lies they speak Satan's native language. These actions should never be condoned or encouraged. I strongly believe that if a cause is just it can be fought for in an honorable way. I hope James develops a stronger conviction in this area.

Where is the intelligent thought? If the goal is to "restore honor" and reflect the foundation our country was built upon, who can genuinely condone these methods? It cannot just be about winning or gaining ground.

It all stinks no matter how you much you hope it helps.

Where are things headed when questionable behavior is encouraged, just to gain political ground. Winning without honor is a loss for everyone.

It is a dangerous slope when this becomes acceptable. The truth may conflict with a person's position, but that's ok. It is simply an opportunity to change your position. All of us humans on the "Right" and the "Left" believe our cause is more noble than the other side. When our desire to win overshadows our desire to be honorable we begin destroy everything this country was built on. Nobody wins.

We have a real problem when no one is concerned with the truth, just destroy any views different from our own. Lie, fabricate, and distort your enemy in oblivion.

Maybe it's the acknowledgement of the Facts that is difficult. This country cannot survive if wants to win more than it wants to represent honor.

Really? Did you personally watch the entire program? I thought it was incredibly fair. What smears did you see?

I see too many of us Americans on both sides willing to turn blind eyes when it suits our own selfish ambitions.
