The poll sample was too small for the conclusion the article made. It
referred to white church goers being more likely to support torture as if
there was data showing other races didn't support it. There was no data on
anyone other than white church goers and "non-church goers."

Good grief. I said no such thing. I said the article fits his agenda. Do
try to keep from lying.

Again, your bigotry is on display for all to see. Your continued obsession
with my underwear is getting out of hand. Do try to curb your bizarre
behavior in public.
