Reply #19: Read it in this light: [View All]

The issue here is "telling" voters what to think. Unfortunately, the wording makes it sound like it's merely sloppy timing, when the issue being raised here is, as Edwards has pointed out before, Dean's "arrogance".

Whenever I hear the word "whine" used, I immediately tense up with sense-memory of the bandwagon marginalizing of the right wing. Should we all kneel in obedience to the frontrunner from the heavens? Dean started as, and has continued as the most insulting to the fellow candidates. In my book, he does not deserve this moral highground and has only himself to blame for the rebukes he gets.

If you seriously think Edwards is feigning "hurt" over the intrusion on church time, then please re-read it in this light. You might also go to the Edwards Blog from which this is excerpted, and see the many other people with the same disgust for the Autocratic Doctor and his Edicts. The issue of the church hour is an enhancement of the ham-fisted nature of his bluster.

It's certainly unfortunate wording on Edwards' part here, but seizing on that and skewing it as the only issue is either extremely facile or deliberately obfuscatory.
