Sept. 21, 2007 The first time I ever corresponded with Ron Lewis via email he told me how delighted he was that he'd finally found a liberal willing to explain their point of view to him. He then proceeded on a five thousand word essay criticizing liberal opinions and in this lengthy missive he mistated what progressives believe and revealed his own gross misunderstanding of the issues. I patiently responded to his liberally-worded Limbaughisms. Gradually, the correspondence degenerated. He hurled insults, yet whined when I gave him tit for tat. I discovered an ignoramous who refused to even research facts upon which his opinions must be based. He dismissed any facts from the "liberal" media because supposedly they were too biased to be reliable. Instead of logic, he preferred irrelevant, absurd analogies that made no sense, and he defended silly positions. (He equated sex education in schools with pornography.) I realized I was wasting my time arguing with a nut who has more faith in fiction invented in his own mind than truth reported by mainstream news sources. Under the phony guise of Tom Pain, he promised to stop writing articles for U-K but he's back as David Jared and what little reasoning skills he had are in serious decline because he seems even stupider. In a recent article he defended Senator Craig, the gay republican homophobe. Instead of logic, he used his old standby--the nonsensical analogy. He wrote that Senator Craig wasn't a hypocrite (a word he mispelled and kept mispelling in private emails even after I corrected him) because saying a closeted gay man couldn't criticize the gay lifestyle was like saying a responsible drinker couldn't criticize a drunk driver. This is laugh out loud funny--a responsible drinker isn't comparable to a man who lies about his sexuality. The two just don't compute. In an also laughable defense of his analogy he claims to know gay people critical of gay rights. On a different subject in our email encounter he kept lying about how WMD's were found in Iraq in 2003, just not in the quantities expected. The Iraqi Survey Group (as reported by all mainstream news sources including Fox) found "no actual WMD's." The ISG report is available online. A google search of "The Iraq Survey Group Final Report" will take you right to the site. But Lewis doesn't believe it--it's all a liberal conspiracy to make Bush (him?) look bad. He even claimed Saddam sent his weapons to Syria and Iran in 1991 (first he said 2003, then 1991, then 2003 again)--an unlikely event because Iran was at war with Iraq in the eighties and Syria was part of the coalition that attacked Iraq in 1991. He stated 16 rockets with chemical warheads were found in Iraq in 2003. I asked him what his source was. He lied and said ABC news. I looked it up on google. There was no such report which would've contradicted the final ISG report. So in our email debate he stubbornly refused to admit he was wrong (will he ever spell hypocrite correctly?) and lied his gluteus maximus off. Hmm...sounds like the same tactics G.W. Bush uses. Lewis says he's from Texas too. Is Ron Lewis/Tom Pain/David Jared also G.W.
