New smear: "Linux users are anti-America" (not just the old smear
with "anti-<strike>corruption</strike> Microsoft"). What's next? Something
with terrorists and 9/11, a la Enderle FUD?

What happened to "pro-standards", "or pro-good software", "or pro-choice", "or
anti-lockin"? Why did Schofield take Whitehurst's words of of context, putting
this headline in a 'big paper site'? He can do better than he did... and
should.
