This is in response to Paul Murty's article on Monday that could only be described as a "slaughter of logic." Paul, your article was nothing short of a biased attempt to prove that the Republicans are all evil, racist Halliburton employees who rape women. I am not kidding. At one point in your article, you somehow deduce that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson was a racist for saying "you lie" to Obama.

Seriously Paul, that's the biggest stretch I have ever seen. Your implied statement was that anyone in disagreement with Obama is a racist. When Joe Wilson said "you lie," did you somehow hear "death to minorities?" Did Joe say that all black Americans are liars during the Obama speech? The fact that you tried to make this connection, in the beginning of your article no less, turned me off to everything you had to say, and made you look like a fool.

As far as the rest of your article, you blasted Republicans for some invented smear campaign against ACORN without rebutting any of the issues. In the very next paragraph, you started a smear campaign of your own by equating Republican representatives with rapists, and what the heck, threw in a Halliburton reference as well. To sum up Paul Murty's argument: Republicans didn't vote for some bill, so they must support rape. And they are racists, obviously.
