| #5 I believe Mr. Simon is a script writer, which is something else altogether. |

| #4 Simon's not even much of a fiction writer. His main claim to fame as a writer owes to a film version, which he co-wrote, of someone else's novel (Enemies, A Love Story). |

| #3 "He has recently been under attack by Glenn Beck who seems to have called him a fascist…” Mr. Simon’s transition from fiction writer to blogger wasn’t a very big leap after all. Apparently, Mr. Pajamas still retains his creative license. He attempts to persuade us into believing that Beck is “attacking” Wilder. You know come to think about it there was that one time Beck called him a “far-right” European politician. Yes, Roger what a vicious attack indeed. Even when Roger is attempting to disparage someone else sometimes he still can’t quite bring himself to use a declarative statement. It’s a common affliction amongst men that have no balls. Instead he feels unencumbered to use the quaint use of the literary qualifier. This time it’s the ole’ “seems to have”. What a load of mealy-mouthed garbage. |

| #2 Good points, lord garth. At the risk of invoking Godwin's Law on myself: how many Germans were violent in the early days of the Nazi party? |

| #1 both Beck and Krauthammer are making a category error. They ask how many muslims are violent and observe that most aren't. However, if they asked how many muslims support violence by their coreligionists, it would be larger number and if they asked how many muslims either support or want, in part to justify violence by their coreligionists, it would be a very high percentage of the muslim problem. Failure to ask the right question means failure to understand the problem. |
