Have read both sides of this forum relating to whether the Sinclair's 
public displays of oral affection
are relevant to the discussion concerning the propaganda piece they are 
intending to air.

The reference to Hitler didn't take long to surface.  While I don't 
think individual behavior is a key
component in the Sinclair debate, it is fair in the overall discussion 
since this is a SINCLAIR inspired
and motivated action.  We are entitled to as much information about the 
INDIVIDUAL who is doing
this because it is relevant to the character of the INDIVIDUAL pursuing 
this action.

His public record is extremely relevant since he's trying to sway the 
public.  If he's a known public
fornicator, that says SOMETHING about the man, just as Bill O'Reilly has 
shown his shortcomings
in the COMMON SENSE department.  In both cases we are dealing with 
people who have their
own agenda to push.   These aren't shrinking violets, they're high 
profile individuals deeply mired in
the politics of our era.  While I agree that personal sexual conduct 
(consenting) shouldn't be an issue,
it is people like Sinclair, O'Reilly, and the cadre of rightwing media 
that made it so (Clinton).

Would you say Rush Limbaugh's drug use is a personal issue as well?  I 
would;  right up to the point
where he gets on the radio and shouts death to the drug users.  After 
that, it's fair game to hoist them
on their own petards.

Definitely too late for them to cry foul.

Enjoy.
