Etan Thomas goes to the hoop

Thomas rejects a lame flat-footed set shot by Tom Knott. Yo, Knott--how does it feel to be totally outclassed as a writer by someone who isn't even a journalist? Thomas may not be a front-liner with the Wizards, but when it comes to writing, the man got game.

It is remarkable how a reporter like Tom Knott, because of his far right politics, is absolutely blinded to reality. For some odd reason, he and other right-wingers of his ilk, equate being against the war with being unpatriotic. They feel that if one discusses a way in which their country could be better — whether through just practices regarding the public school system, the broken health care system, the government’s lack of a response to hurricane Katrina, an unjust war, or other issues — that it somehow means that person is one who “finds little to celebrate in America,” as Knott described me.

If Knott, and others who share his opinion, support a war that has cost the lives of more than 2,600 U.S. troops, had absolutely no exit strategy and no connection to September 11, and did not make us safer here in America, they are free to do so. But don’t claim someone is un-American if they have an opposing view.
