lame denials (clarification)

[sagehen]

 I see from Grant Barrett's post  that I need to proofread better.  I
certainly DIDN'T mean "these just opinions."  Falwell's disingenuous
retraction is ridiculous. He's saying, in effect, he doesn't really mean
it, it's just part of his doctrine. I'm happy to say I would qualify for
most of his opprobrium, but feel neither more nor less responsible than any
other citizen of this privileged country for Tuesday's horror.
