The only self-evidence I find compelling in this excerpt is its historical accuracy--which you seem only able to ridicule but not challenge (because, it seems, you would be factually incorrect).

I'm earnestly curious as to which aspects of Jensen's account you take factual issue with. Genocide? Invasion? Let's hear it.

Also, it's amusing that, despite the outward appearance of intellectual integrity on this site, you perpetuate the childishly-simplistic notion that any form of unfavorable criticism of anything related to America amounts to anti-Americanism. Jensen criticizes Thanksgiving? An American holiday which in his view and mine, cynically celebrates the last recorded instance of westerners and Native Americans co-existing peacefully (and has no memory of that which followed immediately thereafter)? He's an America-hater--probably me too, since I agree with him.

But really now, while we're name-calling, why stop there? Jensen and I, obvious leftists, must sympathize with Communists and terrorists as well, because they too hate America. Furthermore, we're probably dedicated to the God-hating agendas of the athiests and homosexuals as well. (Did I get everything? Surely not. Let me know.) At any rate, those are all quite the zingers as well, and no less myopic or inappropriate than "America-haters," especially in the context of a right-wing blog's essential "discrediting through association with oversimplified labels" approach, or should I say "vetting."

Finally, no, thank you for having me, gentlemen--it's been a pleasure. I'm sure we'll meet again, probably elsewhere.

We do not feel compelled to offer a point-by-point rebuttal to every lunatic who may publish some self-evidently crackpot anti-American rant on the Internet. Thank you for visiting and commenting.

*I'm assuming for the sake of argument that you have a rebuttal, and merely didn't bother to include it here. You DO have a rebuttal, right? I hope? Because you didn't actually, you know, write it down.
