UPDATE: Day 2 is posted. And it seems that the lying continues. SJ’s sock-puppet, Charlie Kee, made an appearance, but SJ claimed it’s not him:
BTW … my Google must be fucked up as it seems not to be able top find these posts you claim I mad as Charlie Kee.
FWIW, I did once know someone by that name. He was a Captain in the Navy Medical Core. I may have mentioned him in some post, but I do not remember.
Here’s the comment from September where you admitted to being Charlie Kee. Does that refresh your memory, you lying douchebag?

Of all the KLOWNS on HA, Seattle Jew consistently provides the most reasoned arguments. So Lee, rather than address SJ’s comments & opinion about Lee, attacks him.
Typical, typical, typical.
So Lee–
1) “1. Lee has no interest in the dominant movement among Jews, peace.”
What is your interest in “peace”??
2. Lee, for example, far overstates the rather limited medicinal value of marijuana.
Let’s hear your rant once again about the “medicinal value” of marrijuana.
Didn’t you tell us you were a pothead for decades??
Troll spews:
Lee, take down this post. Take it private, or take to the comment section, but it’s not worthy of a HA post. It diminishes the blog.
Lee spews:
@5
What is your interest in “peace”??
I have consistently been a supporter of a peaceful two-state solution for as long as I’ve been blogging, and for a long time before that.
Let’s hear your rant once again about the “medicinal value” of marrijuana.
Numerous medical organizations, from the American College of Physicians to the National Institute of Health have clearly stated that marijuana has medicinal value.
Didn’t you tell us you were a pothead for decades??
I smoked pot for 15 years, and I may smoke again later in life. I’ve never used the drug medicinally, but I do know a number of people who do.
Lee spews:

SJ spews:
@7 Lee
1. Ok, then what was your intent in running the Blumberg piece?
2. When have you talked about Peace Now or any of the other Jewish or Israeli efforts to create peace?
3. No, the American College of Physicians has not said their is medicinal value to marijuana, they have said there is limited value to THC and no evidence that justifies illegalization.
This is an important difference because you have advocated smoking the stuff and ignored the simple fact that THC is legally available to any patient. Does it ever occur to you that advocating that sick people should the ones to fight for legalization of a drug you enjoy recreationaly is self serving?
Haven’t you also argued that there is medical evidence that pot is an effective analgesic (antidote for pain) and even that is has anti cancer effects.
Can you find any major scientific group that supports your oft stated claim that there are patients who need to smoke weed to treat their disease?
I have thought abut just ignoring you .. or at least ignoring the posts that do no harm. It is no skin off of my back is you smoke yourself silly. Yur more than occasional descriptions of me as an ass hole, exual pervert, retard, douche bag, etc. seem to me to diminsh your poit more than mine.
I do care about having my personal integrity demeaned. Being called a liar all the time ticks me off.
I do, moreover, object to your promoting quack medicine or inhalation of carcinogens.
I do take offense, as a Jew committed to peace, at any damn fool who depicts the Jews as you do.

People are going to smoke marijuana regardless of what the medical profession says. How about we come to that realization and legalize this product for use by adults? What’dya say?

Muslims have 99.9% of the land in the greater middle east, but that’s not enough for them. They want it all. The only thing I like about Muslims is their criminal justice system. Take those 5 “African Americans” involved in robbing and killing that armored car guard down in Lakewood. If this were Saudi Arabia, they would all be tried and executed by now. Same with the Tubaman killers. I wish we had that sort of justice here in America.

Fine, I’m all for giving people the freedom to self-destruct, being a liberal and all, but how about we also make them pay for the medical consequences of their lifestyles, instead of passing those costs through to me through higher insurance premiums, higher hospital bills, etc.?
This is somewhat like the motorcycle helmet debate — remember that? Motorcycles are mostly ridden by young people, many of whom have inadequate or no insurance, and so when they wrap themselves around a light pole and become quadriplegics, it’s we taxpayes who have to fork out millions of dollars to take care of them in a nursing home for the next 50 years.

Troll spews:
@44
I know you’re a very smart man, so you’re either missing my point by accident, or on purpose.
Norway is an almost totally white country, but over the last couple of decades they have had increased immigration from Muslim countries. Those are the “non-western” people they study referred to. But they are still a tiny minority of Norway’s population. Yet, those Muslims account for 66% of all the rapes that occur in Norway.
I think that’s an amazing statistic.

Lee,
I’m not taking sides here, but the link you provided does not exactly contradict what SJ said. It also shows that ACP has a greater position than SJ claimed.
“Marijuana appears to have medical utility and federal constraints should be lifted so that the drug’s medical uses can be studied, the American College of Physicians said in a new policy statement”
The ACP does not state that there IS medicinal utility to marijuana, just that there APPEARS to be some, and research is needed….
The actual ACP document talks about avail THC medicines avail now, and that research into marijuana should happen…
So, you are both arguing a razor thin line of distinction with regards to that point, and I make no comments with regard to your SJ’s differences..
My.02
SJ spews:
@14 Politically Incorrct
The dispute with Lee is totally from his side because I have criticized his misuse of the term medical marijuana.
The facts are that marijuana has a limited clinical use that can be fulfilled by THC. THC is available from Walgren’s or any other drug store by prescription. No responsible agency advocates smoking the stuff because there are safer ways to get THC.
As for whether adults shiuld be free to smoke MJ.. of course! as long as the risks are made clear. We do not need or want another tobacco style epidemic.
SJ spews:
@58
Right Stuff
Your statement is correct. Also, as you point out, THC is an approved drug.
A few other facts:
1. there is no good evidence that marijuana is an effective analgesic .. that is there are far more effective ways of treating pain.
2. There is no evidence that marijuana is more effective than THC (a legal drug ).
3. While the APC does say cannabis research is worthwhile, there are many other plants that are worthy of study and under study as well. Not hing about MJ makes it more worthwhile to study than many other plants.
The restrictions on marijuana for pharmacological stu8dies are silly and directly related to thre obsession that the anti MJ crowd has with tyhe “evil” weed.
SJ spews:
@60 Roger:
Just to set the record straight, under Washington State law a computer or a telephone can be used for what is called de minimis use as long as one does not engage in political campaigning or runing a business. The line is crossed when the activity is excessive or interferes with work. The result of Lee’s efforts was an investigatiojn and an interview and he was informed that I wqas not violating the law. There3 was a suggestion that I not use a UW email address whe blogging and, as a matter of fact, I do not and actually maintain a separate address as a blogger because I have found that blog posts generate a lot of spam.
BTW, also under the law, I am not paid by the hour nor do I account for may time that way. I ampaid professionally .. for “full time effort.” This emans can not legally take on a second job if that exceeds a small proportion of my 24/7 week!
So, sitting here at home, even though this happens to be my Comcast account, I am also working for the UW and they do not pay for this computer at all (other than some software I use for work) even though at least 50% of mky effort id doen at home. I have some years ago used a UW computer at home but chose to buy this one instead to avoid exactly the issues Lee’s behavior raised.
Lee’s phone calls, BTW, have gone further than he says. The officer who spoke with me was concerned that Lee (she of course did not identify him) might incite violence against me from the Muslim community. She asked if I wanted protection. I reassured her that I did not expect any one in the Muslim community to pay attention to him and had not received any flak from anyone other than Lee.
YLB spews:
56 – Nice deflection there Stamno. The issue is whether SJ has lied or misrepresented any of Lee’s views. Delbert characterizes that as “stepping off” – another distortion. Something you and pals on the right do ALL THE TIME.
As for Lieberman, marching lockstep with the Bushies on the war was the least of the problems we had with him. It was piling on his own party with the Rovians when it was down that sunk him. He’s with us now because we’ve won – hopefully the people of CT will recall him when the time comes. I’ve registered my opinion about that miserable SOB but it’s up to them to do what they will.

Algeria. Man who repented his Islamic beliefs killed by armed Islamists.
Russia. Three people were killed in a series of bombings at a cafe and bus stop by Muslim terrorists.
India . Islamic militants kidnap an 85-year-old man and kill him in captivity.
Kosovo. Muslims waiting in the bushes with automatic weapons ambush Serbian boys (ages 10 to 20) who were returning from a swimming trip. Two are killed and four injured.
USA Houston, TX. After undergoing a religious revival, a Saudi college student slashes the throat of a Jewish student with a 4″ butterfly knife, nearly decapitating the young man.
Turkey. A young woman finally dies after clinging to life for seven months in a coma following a stoning for becoming pregnant.
Sudan. Islamic troops attack a Christian village, burning homes and killing at least fifty-nine villagers. They also take captive several women and children (some of whom are killed later).
Morocco. Four coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda against Western and Jewish targets leave at least forty-one dead and more than sixty-five injured.
Philippines. Islamic rebels attack a passenger bus, killing at least twelve (including the driver) and taking several hostages.
Israel. A Palestinian suicide bomber blows up a bus, killing at least fifteen and injuring thirty-seven. A 14-year-old American girl is among the dead.
Saudi Arabia. British man shot to death by Islamists while waiting at a traffic light.
USA Los Angeles. Muslim gunman kills two people waiting at the El Al counter in the LAX airport.
Bangladesh. A Buddhist monk is stabbed to death by Islamic terrorists after returning home from prayers.
Nigeria. Muslim gunmen storm a Christian prayer meeting attempting to kill the leader. Twelve are killed, an unknown number injured.
And there are hundreds and hundreds more, just like the one’s above. Again, you will not believe how long this list of individual Muslim terrorist attacks are, occurring all over the world.

Sorry, I did not make ,myself clear. The UW faculty is under a unqiue set of state laws because the faculty code, written by the faculty and having the force of law, guarantees a number of rights other state employees may not have ..esp. in regard to free speech.
There are actually some conflicts between state law and the code but only one, that I know of, has come to court here .. then the code won because the judge through out the state’s case because the UW tried to go sround the code.
The code also has certain unusual protections derived from the Bill of Rights.
I have tried for years to get a pamphlet published on faculty rights under the code. If you ever want a retirment project, let me know.

Oct 1 link to a letter I published on DwD in the PI
Sept 24 links to conversations between myself and a person lee introduced me to, Sunil, in re MJ research.
July 14 more of the conversation with Sunil. In part this was because lee had claimed that Sunil was an expert in MJ pharmacology at the UW. As it turned out Sunil was an MD PhD student writing a thesis on the geography of marijuana usage. He has no special credentials in pharmacology but is very enthusiastic about the general idea of “natural medicines.”
July 13 A link to a letter and a blog post to Jim at McCranium. Lee had written dsome pretty horrid things accusing me of being a virulae3nt anti Muslim bigot. Jim andI discussed this and I wanted to be sure that Jim knew my point of view.
July 10 Correspodence from Sunil on MJ to Lee and I.

122 posts on who is a “poopy head” more? Break it up children!
We know the anti-evolution, anti-science, anti-reality Republicans just make shit up. They’re not smart enough to make coherent arguments so they’re just name call and claim their opponents are “un-American”, “hate our troops”, are “evil” or such. Sad, but you can’t have an argument with folks that like. They don’t have facts or reason, just “belief” in their opinions (see #120, and 50% of all the previous comments for an example).
George W. Bush was the worst President in our nations history and went out with the LOWEST approval rating EVER RECORDED for any President without a specific Watergate type scandal…just on ‘general dislike’. Obama has HIGH HIGH ratings, and not just because of some general “get behind our leader after 9/11” type event, which is understandable…but just high ratings because he’s not an anti-intellectual joke like Bush. Can can say ratings don’t matter, but this is a Democracy…so they do. What the public thinks DOES matter.
correctnotright spews:
To all the idiot conservatives who criticised Obama and his new approach to the Mideast:
When Bush was President the radicals won election in Gaza, Iran and gained in Lebanon.
Now, in a suprise, the western-leaning party beats out Hezbollah in Lebanon and suddenly Ahmadinjad is behind in the polls in Iran (and there is no Bush to swing the election to him).
Looks like Obama’s policy of engagement works a hell of a lot better for democracy in the Middle East and for American goals than the empty-headed threats of the idiot Bushites.
Yup, those “hard-line in the Middle East” fools like Puddy really knew what they were talking about.

Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Again moronic NutRight@124 gets so easily confused.
NutRight, the price of oil has driven down Whackmandinojob’s ratings. When Iran can’t afford their internal infrastructure they can’t afford to send $$$$ to their Hezbollah buds. A birdie told me you are on the Hezbollah email contributions list. Why are you acting stupid now? Oops… you are always stupid. Whackmandinojob can’t provide the internal infrastructure or foment terror with the price of oil below $75/barrel.
“A June 2008 ‘International Monetary Fund’ (IMF) report – published on August 14, 2008 – noted that Iran’s economy was “overheating” and in the “medium-term” was “very sensitive to the oil price assumptions.” It further elaborated that if prices for Iranian crude oil fell to $75 per barrel (the price was $140 per barrel in late June) Iran would suffer from a large budget deficit, “which would be unsustainable because of Iran’s limited access to international financial markets.” In other words, the report suggests that if the price of oil dropped below $75 per barrel Iran’s economy might face a serious liquidity or cash crisis.” – Facts and NutRight are diametrically opposed particles.
Just like Hugo Chavez, your good friend, who is nationalizing everything in sight in Venezuela.
“Oil accounts for more than 90% of Venezuela’s exports, and the government’s 2009 budget is based on an estimated $60 average price per barrel of oil.” Well “the messiah” has helped Chavez so far.
Send an email to any US based Iranian and you may leave the land of the clueless. And you are still a moron.
Now we whom think right have seen the barrel price of oil double since “the messiah” became preznit. The price of gas is now over $0.75 cents higher. GBS told you HA swineflu weasels when the dollar is worth less the oil prices go up. Well the dollar must be worth way less because the oil price is getting higher. I wonder if this is what “the messiah” wants since $75/barrel will allow Iran to foment terrorism again and Chavez to destabilize Latin and South American again.
Please continue to call people liars when your crap is so easily lab dissected.
Just some educated reading and NutRight could be more intelligent.

@117 Dan Robinson, Jane
Sadly, Dan, your image of me is true and not very happy for me.
I am very argumentative and not all that good at it as well. I have an issue with losing sight of the object of discussion, presumably to convince someone else, when I feel strongly about an issue.
Good friends, including some at DL, have been very nice to me about tolerating this AND being honest about it. Best I can offer to you, or anyone else, is to listen to your criticism.
If I can defend myself, I think the problem arises from two sources. The first is that I am intensely devoted to the truth. When I hear someone spouting off “facts” that I know are wrong, I have some damned need to say something, My shrink named this “pathological honesty.”
This trait has nothing to do with “liberal” vs. “conservative.” While the republicans are afflicted by some sort of psychosis, there have been similar periods for the left and many liberals are as much at risk of this psychosis as the nut jobs of the other party.
In the case of Lee, a lot of what triggers his anger seems to be disputes over facts … so I freely admit that my devotion to facts goes way beyond what makes sense. His reaction is obviously foolish as well.
FWIW, the factual issues that have set Lee off are these:
1. Islam. After the mass shooting of Jews in Seattle, I posted a strong comment about the long term issues in Islam. I pointed out the antisemitism in the Koran, the supremacy of Islamic lawe as taught by the Koran and pushed by the Saudi’s role in Islamic education world wide. I cited specific content of the Koran and the problems that this has created in India and Europe.
I also cited a very important report on what s being taught in American Muslim schools, a re3port by Freedom House.
The result: Lee threatened to incite the Islamic community against me. The visit I had from the police was to express their concern that his posts might represent a physical threat against me.
2. Marijuana Like Lee I support legalization. However, he has continually presented marijuana as an important drug and insisted that his information came from an authoritative member of the UW faculty.
It turned out that his authority was a graduate student. The student and I met and he did provide me with literature that he claimed supported a point of view that marijuana was effective in several important ways. I reviewed the literature and found that alomost all of it did not support the student’s point of view. This included especuially a lack of evidence that smoking marijuana had any benefit over the freely available prescription for THC and a lack of evidence that marijuana has any beneficial effect in cancer, and that marijuana’s effects in ain relief were likely a placebo effect.
Result I think you have seen that result here.
3. I-1000 Death with Dignity Like Lee I believe that each of us has the right to end our lives. However, when I read the DwD initiative I found many serious flaws and I expressed these. Among these problems were the danger that the act will force poor people to choose between impoverishment to cover the costs of terminal care and suicide and the conflict between I-1000 and the ethics we teach all medical students.
Result The worst part of this arose when the DwD crown began an anti Catholic rant. I saw this as bigotry and called them on it. Lee went ballistic at that point.
As for the claim that I have harassed him by email, he is welcome to send the messages he claims to have to me. I have laready posted what my gmail records show.

In general, this thread is an embarrassment. As Steve has pointed out, he and Lee are in agreement on a lot of essential principles, but it would appear Lee can’t help obsessing over some details. Aren’t there more important and interesting things to devote this much bandwidth to?
SJ spews:
@ 136
ArtFart
I agree and my last post on the subject was meant to be that.
I honestly do respect Lee and certainly do know that I can be an irritating person even when that is not my intent. OTOH, since I also value DL and HA, I would hope to find ways to argue without the epithets.
It does seem to me that presentation and rational argument of opposing POV is one of HAs best points. To give specific examples, I think we have had truly impressive discussions here on the schools, on Obama vs Hillary, and on light rail. Even some of the trolls occasionally dip their pens into rational discussion. The contrast with the invective and scanalesque content at Sound Politics is part of what makes this sight promising.
FWIW, I would be pleased to just let this thread die and am more than willing to listen to advice.

@131: Too bad you couldn’t dissect the inside of your own gut….hahaha.
You refuted NOTHING.
Last Iranian election, Ahmadinejad was behind until Bush spoke up for the “opposition” and handed the election to the religious radicals in Iran.
Sorry, a birdie is lying out their ass, as are you on this.
Is this the best you have?
I love how you support the failed foreign policy of Bush. I love how you fail to credit Obamas new approach. I love how you bring in extraneous crap (what does Chavez have to do with US – Muslim relations?)
The bottom line is that you can’t refute the results that Obama is getting in democracies. The bottom line is that Obama is holding Israel accountable for the “road map” – instead of “secret agreements” to let the settlements grow.
The bottom line is that you and your neocon failed philosophy have been shown to be morally and practically bankrupt.
Tell us again how great Bush was in the Middle east, how he caught bin laden, how he made Afghanistan a safer place and how he turned the Iranian people into a US-loving group.
Oh yeah, you can’t. All you have is a failed and unnecessary invasion of Iraq – that we are finally leaving with all its problems.

The ICC issued an international arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. So where was “the messiah” on this? MIA as usual.
Puddy guesses NutRight missed this one too. Jan. 13 — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran arrived here on Saturday for talks with President Hugo Chávez.
Puddy guesses NutRight missed this one. BOGOTA, COLOMBIA August 27, 2008 — Western anti-terrorism officials are increasingly concerned that Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based Shiite Muslim militia that Washington has labeled a terrorist group, is using Venezuela as a base for operations.
In 2005 Ahmedinejad promised tackling rampant poverty, corruption and a high unemployment rate in the clergy led guvmint of 24 years.
