I guess none of the lefties want to touch this with a ten foot pole. It seems to be a normal response for the lefties that it is OK to ignore questions if the answer would put the left in a bad light.

I think it's because they support the outcomes, but not the methods. They don't see the methods as being counterproductive. On the right, we see the methods as being counterproductive, even if we support the outcomes.

I think that's actually pretty natural.... and we're seeing it in a microcosm here. I don't find myself making frequent pedantic corrections to people I agree with... but if I disagree, I'll not only note the meaningful disagreements, but often the trivial ones as well.

Speak for yourself: when it comes to be pedantic corrections, I for one try to be even-handed.
