I wonder how many protesters Iran’s dictators are quietly rounding up and dragging in front of firing squads?
That’s what no small number of wingnuts wanted to do to anyone who protested Bush’s blockheaded policies of invading the wrong country, torturing innocent people, debasing our currency, sending American jobs to countries that hate us, handing Wall Street the keys to the Social Security Trust Fund, and so on.
When you get right down to it, you can’t tell the difference between an Iranian rightwing religious fanatic and an American one.

So how did a young Mahmoud Ahmadinejad grow up to be such a big asshole?
During the Iraq-Iran war, the Revolutionary Guards sent unarmed teenaged “Basij” volunteers ahead of them in minefields, to blow up the mines so the RG soldiers could get through. I’ve read that Ahmadinejad was one of these minefield walkers who somehow survived the war. An experience like that at a young age would turn anyone into a hardass.
According to Wikipedia, Ahmadinejad was a principal captor and interrogator of American hostages during the 1979 embassy takeover. Several former U.S. hostages remember him acting in a supervisory role over the other interrogators. So, even back then, he held a leadership position in Iran’s state security apparatus. Apparently he rose quickly after his minefield forays.
This is a guy who witnessed the unspeakable horrors of the Iraq-Iran war, who is thoroughly hardened to death, and we may surmise, is determined that Iran’s armed forces will never suffer casualties like that again. Hence his fixation on getting the A-bomb. With the bomb there will never again be any need for minefield walkers. He is on a mission from Allah to spare future generations of his countrymen from what he himself experienced.
And he doesn’t believe in democracy. Like the Blues Brothers, he believes he’s on a “mission for God,” and he won’t be stopped by the votes of the Iranian people or anything else.
Except an assasin’s bullet. Or a well-placed Israeli airstrike.
I’m quite sure the Israelis understand this. Maybe some Iranian reformers understand it, too.

Roger Rabbitspews:
@5 Sorry, you’re off the mark, and off base as well. Between you and President Obama the liar is you, not him.
First of all, the president only promised not to raise income taxes on individuals making less than $250,000. S-Chip is an excise tax on consumption of a socially undesirable product, not a general tax on incomes, and cap-and-trade is a “tax” only on giant corporations; individual taxpayers won’t pay it.* (I’ll explain below why I put quote marks around it.)
There are valid and good reasons for these taxes. First of all, their primary purpose is behavior modification, not raising revenue.
There’s an old saying that your freedom to swing your fist stops where my nose starts. The rest of us are tired of paying smokers’ medical bills. If 65 bucks a carton doesn’t get them to kick the habit then at least the gummint can use the revenue to pay their Medicaid bills. I had a neighbor who ran up over $150,000 in Medicare costs while in his death throes from his lifelong smoking habit. (I know what it cost because he told me.) And that’s not even mentioning the second-hand smoke the rest of us have to breathe. If you’re still smoking after S-Chip and $6.50 a pack, that’s you’re fucking problem. Quit.
Much the same analysis applies to cap-and-trade. For the first two centuries of the Industrial Revolution, capitalists poured shit into our air for free, and the rest of us paid for the corrosion to our auto paint, house siding, and lungs. It seems you’re too stupid to understand that cap-and-trade is a permit system, not a tax. It’s a market-based system of regulating air pollution that sets a total limit on pollutants and lets the free market decide who gets to put those pollutants in the air. That’s why you righties want, isn’t it, to let the free market do things? Well, that’s what this is, and you’re trashing it. Okay, if you don’t like cap-and-trade, we’ll go to Plan B, which is direct regulation. Do you like that better?
Idiot.
* I’d like to suggest an exception, though. I think we should impose a pollution tax on your brain farts because they stink up this blog.

Roger Rabbitspews:
@7 Yes, you seem like a type who’d fraternize with the enemy.

Roger Rabbitspews:
@9 Another lie. First of all, that proposal is being floated by a senator, not the White House. This senator sees it as a technique to bring exploding health care costs, which now consume nearly a fifth of total U.S. economic output, under control. President Obama’s approach has been to invite health care industry leaders to submit their own cost-containment ideas.
What the president wants is legislation that “would hold down costs, guarantee choice and extend coverage to the 50 million Americans who don’t have it now.” Sounds to me like he wants to lower ordinary Americans’ health care costs, not raise them.
Of course, wingnuts like you hate anything that helps ordinary Americans live better and more prosperous lives. That’s why Republicans oppose health care reform. They like things just the way they are: Working class folks being bled white by insurance exclusions and loopholes, and losing homes and pensions, and going bankrupt, because they can’t afford health care they need under the system we have. Fuck you.
Another thing to mention is that when ideas have been floated to tax employer-provided health insurance benefits, what they’re talking about is taxing the excess value of the gold-plated plans executives write for themselves, not what the workers get. Again, fuck you, liar.
We’re going to get health care reform in this country. It’s coming. The current system is broken and unsustainable. Polling shows 85% of Americans want the system changed. It’s going to happen. Don’t like it? Fuck you, move to a deserted island, then you don’t have to worry about what the rest of us want to do. Living as a hermit would suit your mentality just fine.

HAMPTON – Same brashness. Same spontaneity. Same lightning-rod remarks.
If you were thinking the Rev. Jeremiah Wright had been tempered by a national backlash that nearly derailed Barack Obama’s trip to the White House, guess again.
In an exclusive interview at the 95th annual Hampton University Ministers’ Conference, Wright told the Daily Press that he has not spoken to his former church member since Obama became president, and he implied that the White House won’t allow Obama to talk to him.
“Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me,” Wright said. “I told my baby daughter that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. …
“They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. … I said from the beginning: He’s a politician; I’m a pastor. He’s got to do what politicians do.”
Wright also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not for fear of offending Jews and Israel. He specifically cited the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-Israel lobbying group.
“Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don’t want Barack talking like that because that’s anti-Israel,” Wright said.
Reactions to Wright’s comments regarding Jews and Israel lit up Internet message boards and political blogs around the nation on Wednesday, and sparked national TV requests for an audio recording of the interview.
In Newport News, Rabbi Scott Gurdin at Temple Sinai said Wright “is missing an opportunity to build alliances and bridges.”
“I want to be cautious about what I say, because I don’t want to sound like Rev. Wright,” Gurdin said. “But my goodness, if a prominent Jewish person said something at a rabbinical conference that was disparaging against blacks, he (Wright) would be all over it.”
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Richard Gordon, chairman of the Community Relations Commission of the United Jewish Community Center, said: “My impression is that Barack Obama … is doing what he thinks is in the best interest of the country, and his advisers are telling him the best way to accomplish that.
“It would also be my opinion that he wants to distance himself from Rev. Wright because of these spurious and ridiculous accusations that he consistently and persistently makes.”
In the interview after a nighttime sermon Tuesday at the ministers conference, Wright offered that he has no regrets over the controversy that resulted in a severed relationship with Obama, a former member of the Chicago church of which Wright was the longtime pastor.
“Regret for what … that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I’ve been preaching for 20 years?
“Regret for preaching like I’ve been preaching for 50 years? Absolutely none.”
Wright said that when he went to the polls, he did not hold any grudge against Obama.
“Of course I voted for him — he’s my son. I’m proud of him,” Wright said. “I’ve got five biological kids. They all make mistakes and bad choices. I haven’t stopped loving any of them.
“He made mistakes. He made bad choices. I’ve got kids who listen to their friends. He listened to those around him. I did not disown him.”
The son of a pastor, Wright has attended the HU ministers conference since he was a child — though he was not spotted at the conference in 2008 during the heat of the campaign debate over comments he made that many branded racially divisive.
The Rev. William Curtis, president of the ministers conference, said the Wright controversy is a “personal matter” for the Chicago pastor.
“Dr. Wright is a part of the church and he is a friend of the church and his views are personal,” Curtis said. “And they don’t represent the statements and views of the entire African-American pulpit.
so, since you guys have called me crazy for saying the same things, i guess jeremiah is crzy too, and our president never saw that in 20 years at his church.

Puddy is sure Jack Hemsley had his Miranda Rights read to him by the terraists before he were beheaded. After all he was an American.
Puddy is sure Eugene Armstrong had his Miranda Rights read to him by the terraists before he were beheaded. After all he was an American.
Puddy is sure three alleged CIA agents had their Miranda Rights read to them by the terraists before they were beheaded. After all they were Americans.
Yes, they all had hideous deaths because their Miranda Rights WERE NOT read to them? What a crock. They would have never had their Miranda Right read fools. Yes, their captors followed Geneva Conventions didn’t they?
While Puddy is sick over the remembrance of their deaths, we have to play nice to these thugs who would kill you and your sons and rape then kill your wives and daughters. Yep, this is the difference between Puddy’s thoughts and a HA libtardo.

rhp6033spews:
Roger @ 2, Broadway Joe @ 20: I think both of your time-lines are a little bit off.
The Iran-Iraq war started DURING the Iran Hostage Crisis. There’s a lot of speculation about the connection, some have claimed that Saddam was encouraged by the U.S. to attack Iran in order to exert pressure on them to release the hostages. But in the absence of direct evidence, the other theory is more likely: Saddam saw Iranian pre-occupation with it’s revolution and the cut-off of American aid to Iran as the perfect opportunity to exploit and grab some territory (much like Hitler thought he could take advantage of Stalin’s purges of the Red Army officer corps to attack the Soviet Union in 1940).
I believe the tactic of sending young men, unarmed, into the minefields was a tactic that came a bit after the hostages were released. At that point the Iraqi offensive was blunted and the Iraqis were dug into defensive positions, hence the need & opportunity for them to lay minefields. You don’t lay minefields over areas you hope to move over soon, they would restrict your potential options for movement.
Which raises the question: Is it likely that the Iranian President would be a chief interrogator and hence a fairly high member of the Revolutionary Guards during the Iranian hostage crisis, and then one of the idealistic youths who were sent, untrained and unarmed, to meet their future in Paradise by running through minefields? It doesn’t seem likely.
Could it be that the Iranian President’s resume is somewhat inflated for the purposes of internal politics? Considering the horrific loss of life during that war, perhaps a President who was the “right age” to have served in the war needs some military credentials – if he doesn’t have any, then perhaps create some whereby he’s got a good reason why no one can be found who served with him (since they are all dead)?

Credit Card ABUSER Obama has his hands full–

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 33% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +1.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) of women Strongly Approve along with 28% of men. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Democrats offer that positive an assessment while 56% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove (crosstabs with full-week demographic results are available for Premium Members).
Just 26% of Massachusetts voters rate that state’s health care reform a success while 37% say it’s been a failure. Only 10% say it’s improved the quality of health care.
I find it particularly damaging that Obama has these weak numbers with 44% of Republicans not STRONGLY DISAPPROVING.

O.K. We can play this game. A single representative said something on the floor of the house, ERGO, it is fact. And Puddy can find a righty blog to state it as fact.

This is how the brainwashing works. The “responsible” rightie news media report the claim and leave it to the underlyers to convince the dim witted Puddy that it actually is hapenning.
But just for fun, here are a couple things that have been said by Representative/Senators that Puddy must now accept as FACTS if his logic remains consistant:
“If homosexuals would only stop doing what They’re doing, There wouldn’t be any more AIDS.”
“There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy.”
Both quotes, Jesse Helms (Too bad Jesse didn’t ever meet Ryan White.)
“The origin of the crack cocaine trade in this country was led and designed by the CIA and their paid Nicaraguan agents — who introduced crack cocaine to South-Central Los Angeles,”

The city was in a bad situation in that case. If you have a decently mixed pool of applicants, and you give a test which only whites pass and no minorities pass, then you probably have a problem with the test.
If the city promoted the white applicants based on the test, they could have been sued by the minorities for using a test which has a disparate racial impact but which is not directly tied to job performance. The city decided to re-do the test, and got sued by the white applicants instead.
Sotamyer and the other two judges on the Court of Appeal applied existing case law and decided that the city acted reasonbaly. The Supreme Court decision (which I haven’t read yet) reversed that decision, but that doesn’t mean anything.
Reversing the right-wingers argument on themselves – how come they and Fox news only become outraged when a white guy loses his job to a minority? How come they don’t automatically assume that the minority is probably best qualified for the job, and the white guy is only the recipient of “affirmative action”.

43 states have laws explicitly prohibiting gay marriage, including 29 states having constitutional amendments restricting marriage to one man and one woman. Why does Puddy have to listen to the crapola of you have to accept gay marriage? Why is Puddy or Ms Prejean called a bigot when the majority of American peeps agree with Puddy? Even President Obama and VP Biden and SoS Clinton say marriage is between a man and a woman! Are they homophobic bigots too HA libtardos?

Puddy @ 53
You mean this?
Justice Deparment spokesman Dean Boyd:
“There has been no policy change and nor blanket instruction issued for FBI agents to Mirandize detainees overseas. While there have been specific cases in which FBI agents have Mirandized suspects overseas, at both Bagram and in other situations, in order to preserve the quality of evidence obtained, there has been no overall policy change with respect to detainees.”
Not knowing diddley squat about the cases in which suspects have been Mirandized, you’re all over it. Never mind, “No change with respect to detainees.” Never mind that Bagram is swarming with U.S. Citizens and soldiers who, if charged with some crime, MUST be mirandized.
Read the statement. A: Didn’t come from an administration official. b: Is very non-specific about the cases involved. c: Says nothing at all about what type of suspects are mirandized. d: Categorically denies what you claim (“There has been no policy change or blanket instruction…)
OH MY GOD! You’ve found the smoking gun.

@32: You mean these numbers?
But with a job approval rating of 63 percent, Mr. Obama has the backing of Democrats and independents alike, a standing that many presidents would envy and try to use to build support for their policies. His rating has fallen to 23 percent among Republicans, from 44 percent in February, a sign that bridging the partisan divide may remain an unaccomplished goal.
Obama is not losing the middle – the republicans represent the outer lunatic fringe. Shedding them is a sign of sanity. Independents and democrats constitute the majority and that is what matters. Republicans are irrelevant whiners and losers (just like you).

Checksaid, you never answered the first part while you focus on the second part. And being the simpleton you are you walked right into the closed door.
Priceless.
Also since you missed it from ABC News: ““While there have been specific cases in which FBI agents have Mirandized suspects overseas, at both Bagram and in other situations, in order to preserve the quality of evidence obtained, there has been no overall policy change with respect to detainees,” department spokesman Matthew Miller told ABC News.
In March, President Obama told 60 Minutes that “the whole premise of Guantanamo promoted by Vice President Cheney was that somehow the American system of justice was not up to the task of dealing with these terrorists. I fundamentally disagree with that. Now do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.””
So your argument doesn’t add up. Some are given their Miranda rights while “the messiah” said “Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.”. It seems “the messiah” is trying to have it both ways like he tries on many other issues.
So why the Miranda right fool? And why only to some and not others. First your side says treat them as enemy combatants with Geneva Convention rights. Then they read some their Miranda rights too? Why not all? Some terraists can now go to court because your side said treat them like US citizen criminals, get the American Criminal Lawyers Union to claim prejudice and discrimination against the US Military for not treating them all the same. Are the US troops policemen too? No they are not the police, so y’all should stop using them like it.
Seven Americans were beheaded. Did those terraists follow Geneva Conventions? Where was Checksaid screaming they were unjustly treated? Puddy guesses you aren’t upset at their loss of life. Nick Berg was a libtardo. His father said so. So where is the compassion for a fellow libtardo?

The Japanese, North Koreans, Vietnamese etc. did the same or worse in our wars with them yet Geneva conventions on prisoners (for the most part) were followed.
Soldiers in the field had an easy solution to the abuses of the enemy – take no prisoners.
This is a tired old emotional argument that the right wing loves to drag out. It’s bankrupt. If you take prisoners – follow the law – it’s what civilized people do in contrast to some of our enemies.

Really clueless wonder. North Korea didn’t allow IRC visitations for the captured or wounded. North Korea didn’t sign the 1949 Geneva Convention. In the Korean war North Korea captured 7,245 US soldiers, etc. 2,806 died in North Korea, 4,418 came back, and 21 to come back (probably libtardos). And we all know how the North Vietnamese treated their prisoners don’t we? And we all know how the HA libtardos treated someone who was tortured.

Are you unhinged???
You’re clearly not a military man. Do you know why we follow rules of engagement??
1) it’s the right thing to do morally. A time honored tradition that was started by our FIRST commander in chief.
2) it gives us legitimacy throughout the world when we act militarily.
3) most important, many a GI owes their lives to following these rules of war and treating prisoners of war with dignity and humanity.
Do you know why?
No, you clearly do not. You only see the brutality that was done to us and our allies by dictators and you condemn it.
But what you don’t ‘get’ is that many an adversary thought it would be better to surrender to the Americans and be treated fairly, then to face the outcome of their brutal dictator that they probably didn’t support anyway.
However, because of the Bush torture policies, that safety net is no longer in place. For the average Taliban fighter, they may just as well fight to the death than face torture and possible death in GITMO.

Is it possible that U.S. Contractors arrested for assault (or rape) of Afghanis or fellow contractors are what the DOJ is referring to? You have ZERO eveidence that terrorists are being mirandized.

Which is the better option for our adversaries: Fight to live another day, or surrender and be tortured?

Puddy fails to understand that the Iraqi insurgent movement really picked up steam only AFTER the publication of the photos of American soldiers mistreating their Iraqi prisoners. Lots of Iraqis who had taken a “wait and see” attitude regarding the U.S. occupation decided pretty quickly afterwards that the U.S. occupation must be opposed. Likewise, U.S. treatment of prisoners at Abu Grahib (sp?) and Guantanmo became Al Quida’s most valuable marketing tool. After 9/11 and being kicked out of Afganistan, Al Quida was on the ropes, marginalized and unpopular even among most Muslims. But after the U.S. started mis-treating prisoners, Al Quida got infusions of donations, material support, and recruits beyond their wildest dreams.

Who cares? That wasn’t my point to clueless wonder. I don’t have to acknowledge anything clueless wonder submits because he ran from the seven United States Civilians being beheaded. He decided to add the military.
For what reason?
Because he knew he had no answer to terraists beheading United States Civilians. They didn’t have their Miranda Rights read to them. They weren’t treated to Geneva Conventions for a nation’s people.
clueless wonder took the conversation somewhere he knew he could go. Puddy brought it back to the seven beheaded United States Civilians.
GBS, you can rant and whine all you want.

So how did a young Mahmoud Ahmadinejad grow up to be such a big asshole?
During the Iraq-Iran war, the Revolutionary Guards sent unarmed teenaged “Basij” volunteers ahead of them in minefields, to blow up the mines so the RG soldiers could get through. I’ve read that Ahmadinejad was one of these minefield walkers who somehow survived the war. An experience like that at a young age would turn anyone into a hardass.
According to Wikipedia, Ahmadinejad was a principal captor and interrogator of American hostages during the 1979 embassy takeover. Several former U.S. hostages remember him acting in a supervisory role over the other interrogators. So, even back then, he held a leadership position in Iran’s state security apparatus. Apparently he rose quickly after his minefield forays.
This is a guy who witnessed the unspeakable horrors of the Iraq-Iran war, who is thoroughly hardened to death, and we may surmise, is determined that Iran’s armed forces will never suffer casualties like that again. Hence his fixation on getting the A-bomb. With the bomb there will never again be any need for minefield walkers. He is on a mission from Allah to spare future generations of his countrymen from what he himself experienced.
And he doesn’t believe in democracy. Like the Blues Brothers, he believes he’s on a “mission for God,” and he won’t be stopped by the votes of the Iranian people or anything else.
Except an assasin’s bullet. Or a well-placed Israeli airstrike.
I’m quite sure the Israelis understand this. Maybe some Iranian reformers understand it, too.

First of all, the president only promised not to raise income taxes on individuals making less than $250,000. S-Chip is an excise tax on consumption of a socially undesirable product, not a general tax on incomes, and cap-and-trade is a “tax” only on giant corporations; individual taxpayers won’t pay it.* (I’ll explain below why I put quote marks around it.)
There are valid and good reasons for these taxes. First of all, their primary purpose is behavior modification, not raising revenue.
There’s an old saying that your freedom to swing your fist stops where my nose starts. The rest of us are tired of paying smokers’ medical bills. If 65 bucks a carton doesn’t get them to kick the habit then at least the gummint can use the revenue to pay their Medicaid bills. I had a neighbor who ran up over $150,000 in Medicare costs while in his death throes from his lifelong smoking habit. (I know what it cost because he told me.) And that’s not even mentioning the second-hand smoke the rest of us have to breathe. If you’re still smoking after S-Chip and $6.50 a pack, that’s you’re fucking problem. Quit.
Much the same analysis applies to cap-and-trade. For the first two centuries of the Industrial Revolution, capitalists poured shit into our air for free, and the rest of us paid for the corrosion to our auto paint, house siding, and lungs. It seems you’re too stupid to understand that cap-and-trade is a permit system, not a tax. It’s a market-based system of regulating air pollution that sets a total limit on pollutants and lets the free market decide who gets to put those pollutants in the air. That’s why you righties want, isn’t it, to let the free market do things? Well, that’s what this is, and you’re trashing it. Okay, if you don’t like cap-and-trade, we’ll go to Plan B, which is direct regulation. Do you like that better?
Idiot.
* I’d like to suggest an exception, though. I think we should impose a pollution tax on your brain farts because they stink up this blog.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@7 Yes, you seem like a type who’d fraternize with the enemy.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@9 Another lie. First of all, that proposal is being floated by a senator, not the White House. This senator sees it as a technique to bring exploding health care costs, which now consume nearly a fifth of total U.S. economic output, under control. President Obama’s approach has been to invite health care industry leaders to submit their own cost-containment ideas.
What the president wants is legislation that “would hold down costs, guarantee choice and extend coverage to the 50 million Americans who don’t have it now.” Sounds to me like he wants to lower ordinary Americans’ health care costs, not raise them.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories.....th_5056253
Of course, wingnuts like you hate anything that helps ordinary Americans live better and more prosperous lives. That’s why Republicans oppose health care reform. They like things just the way they are: Working class folks being bled white by insurance exclusions and loopholes, and losing homes and pensions, and going bankrupt, because they can’t afford health care they need under the system we have. Fuck you.
Another thing to mention is that when ideas have been floated to tax employer-provided health insurance benefits, what they’re talking about is taxing the excess value of the gold-plated plans executives write for themselves, not what the workers get. Again, fuck you, liar.
We’re going to get health care reform in this country. It’s coming. The current system is broken and unsustainable. Polling shows 85% of Americans want the system changed. It’s going to happen. Don’t like it? Fuck you, move to a deserted island, then you don’t have to worry about what the rest of us want to do. Living as a hermit would suit your mentality just fine.

HAMPTON – Same brashness. Same spontaneity. Same lightning-rod remarks.
If you were thinking the Rev. Jeremiah Wright had been tempered by a national backlash that nearly derailed Barack Obama’s trip to the White House, guess again.
In an exclusive interview at the 95th annual Hampton University Ministers’ Conference, Wright told the Daily Press that he has not spoken to his former church member since Obama became president, and he implied that the White House won’t allow Obama to talk to him.
“Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me,” Wright said. “I told my baby daughter that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. …
“They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. … I said from the beginning: He’s a politician; I’m a pastor. He’s got to do what politicians do.”
Wright also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not for fear of offending Jews and Israel. He specifically cited the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-Israel lobbying group.
“Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don’t want Barack talking like that because that’s anti-Israel,” Wright said.
Reactions to Wright’s comments regarding Jews and Israel lit up Internet message boards and political blogs around the nation on Wednesday, and sparked national TV requests for an audio recording of the interview.
In Newport News, Rabbi Scott Gurdin at Temple Sinai said Wright “is missing an opportunity to build alliances and bridges.”
“I want to be cautious about what I say, because I don’t want to sound like Rev. Wright,” Gurdin said. “But my goodness, if a prominent Jewish person said something at a rabbinical conference that was disparaging against blacks, he (Wright) would be all over it.”
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Richard Gordon, chairman of the Community Relations Commission of the United Jewish Community Center, said: “My impression is that Barack Obama … is doing what he thinks is in the best interest of the country, and his advisers are telling him the best way to accomplish that.
“It would also be my opinion that he wants to distance himself from Rev. Wright because of these spurious and ridiculous accusations that he consistently and persistently makes.”
In the interview after a nighttime sermon Tuesday at the ministers conference, Wright offered that he has no regrets over the controversy that resulted in a severed relationship with Obama, a former member of the Chicago church of which Wright was the longtime pastor.
“Regret for what … that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I’ve been preaching for 20 years?
“Regret for preaching like I’ve been preaching for 50 years? Absolutely none.”
Wright said that when he went to the polls, he did not hold any grudge against Obama.
“Of course I voted for him — he’s my son. I’m proud of him,” Wright said. “I’ve got five biological kids. They all make mistakes and bad choices. I haven’t stopped loving any of them.
“He made mistakes. He made bad choices. I’ve got kids who listen to their friends. He listened to those around him. I did not disown him.”
The son of a pastor, Wright has attended the HU ministers conference since he was a child — though he was not spotted at the conference in 2008 during the heat of the campaign debate over comments he made that many branded racially divisive.
The Rev. William Curtis, president of the ministers conference, said the Wright controversy is a “personal matter” for the Chicago pastor.
“Dr. Wright is a part of the church and he is a friend of the church and his views are personal,” Curtis said. “And they don’t represent the statements and views of the entire African-American pulpit.
“And whether or not he believes or perceives there were some strategies behind President Obama’s campaign, we are grateful to have an African-American president.”

So Libtardos, it seems “the messiah’s” military will read Miranda Rights to the terraists caught in Afghanistan. Even though they would kill the soldiers in a heartbeat after capture, our brave men and women have to stop what they are doing to secure an area and read Miranda Rights.
Puddy is sure Nick Berg had his Miranda Rights read to him by the terraists before he were beheaded. After all he was an American.
Puddy is sure Daniel Pearl had his Miranda Rights read to him by the terraists before he were beheaded. After all he was an American.
Puddy is sure Jack Hemsley had his Miranda Rights read to him by the terraists before he were beheaded. After all he was an American.
Puddy is sure Eugene Armstrong had his Miranda Rights read to him by the terraists before he were beheaded. After all he was an American.
Puddy is sure three alleged CIA agents had their Miranda Rights read to them by the terraists before they were beheaded. After all they were Americans.
Yes, they all had hideous deaths because their Miranda Rights WERE NOT read to them? What a crock. They would have never had their Miranda Right read fools. Yes, their captors followed Geneva Conventions didn’t they?
While Puddy is sick over the remembrance of their deaths, we have to play nice to these thugs who would kill you and your sons and rape then kill your wives and daughters. Yep, this is the difference between Puddy’s thoughts and a HA libtardo.

Roger @ 2, Broadway Joe @ 20: I think both of your time-lines are a little bit off.
The Iran-Iraq war started DURING the Iran Hostage Crisis. There’s a lot of speculation about the connection, some have claimed that Saddam was encouraged by the U.S. to attack Iran in order to exert pressure on them to release the hostages. But in the absence of direct evidence, the other theory is more likely: Saddam saw Iranian pre-occupation with it’s revolution and the cut-off of American aid to Iran as the perfect opportunity to exploit and grab some territory (much like Hitler thought he could take advantage of Stalin’s purges of the Red Army officer corps to attack the Soviet Union in 1940).
I believe the tactic of sending young men, unarmed, into the minefields was a tactic that came a bit after the hostages were released. At that point the Iraqi offensive was blunted and the Iraqis were dug into defensive positions, hence the need & opportunity for them to lay minefields. You don’t lay minefields over areas you hope to move over soon, they would restrict your potential options for movement.
Which raises the question: Is it likely that the Iranian President would be a chief interrogator and hence a fairly high member of the Revolutionary Guards during the Iranian hostage crisis, and then one of the idealistic youths who were sent, untrained and unarmed, to meet their future in Paradise by running through minefields? It doesn’t seem likely.
Could it be that the Iranian President’s resume is somewhat inflated for the purposes of internal politics? Considering the horrific loss of life during that war, perhaps a President who was the “right age” to have served in the war needs some military credentials – if he doesn’t have any, then perhaps create some whereby he’s got a good reason why no one can be found who served with him (since they are all dead)?

O.K. We can play this game. A single representative said something on the floor of the house, ERGO, it is fact. And Puddy can find a righty blog to state it as fact.

This is how the brainwashing works. The “responsible” rightie news media report the claim and leave it to the underlyers to convince the dim witted Puddy that it actually is hapenning.
But just for fun, here are a couple things that have been said by Representative/Senators that Puddy must now accept as FACTS if his logic remains consistant:
“If homosexuals would only stop doing what They’re doing, There wouldn’t be any more AIDS.”
“There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy.”
Both quotes, Jesse Helms (Too bad Jesse didn’t ever meet Ryan White.)
“The origin of the crack cocaine trade in this country was led and designed by the CIA and their paid Nicaraguan agents — who introduced crack cocaine to South-Central Los Angeles,”
Rep. Maxine Waters
Just two for now. These are FACTS that Puddy is in no position to dispute because an elected official claimed it was so.

The city was in a bad situation in that case. If you have a decently mixed pool of applicants, and you give a test which only whites pass and no minorities pass, then you probably have a problem with the test.
If the city promoted the white applicants based on the test, they could have been sued by the minorities for using a test which has a disparate racial impact but which is not directly tied to job performance. The city decided to re-do the test, and got sued by the white applicants instead.
Sotamyer and the other two judges on the Court of Appeal applied existing case law and decided that the city acted reasonbaly. The Supreme Court decision (which I haven’t read yet) reversed that decision, but that doesn’t mean anything.
Reversing the right-wingers argument on themselves – how come they and Fox news only become outraged when a white guy loses his job to a minority?

Also since you missed it from ABC News: ““While there have been specific cases in which FBI agents have Mirandized suspects overseas, at both Bagram and in other situations, in order to preserve the quality of evidence obtained, there has been no overall policy change with respect to detainees,” department spokesman Matthew Miller told ABC News.
In March, President Obama told 60 Minutes that “the whole premise of Guantanamo promoted by Vice President Cheney was that somehow the American system of justice was not up to the task of dealing with these terrorists. I fundamentally disagree with that. Now do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.””
So your argument doesn’t add up. Some are given their Miranda rights while “the messiah” said “Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.”. It seems “the messiah” is trying to have it both ways like he tries on many other issues.
So why the Miranda right fool? And why only to some and not others. First your side says treat them as enemy combatants with Geneva Convention rights. Then they read some their Miranda rights too? Why not all? Some terraists can now go to court because your side said treat them like US citizen criminals, get the American Criminal Lawyers Union to claim prejudice and discrimination against the US Military for not treating them all the same. Are the US troops policemen too? No they are not the police, so y’all should stop using them like it.
Seven Americans were beheaded. Did those terraists follow Geneva Conventions? Where was Checksaid screaming they were unjustly treated? Puddy guesses you aren’t upset at their loss of life. Nick Berg was a libtardo. His father said so. So where is the compassion for a fellow libtardo?

Soldiers in the field had an easy solution to the abuses of the enemy – take no prisoners.
This is a tired old emotional argument that the right wing loves to drag out. It’s bankrupt. If you take prisoners – follow the law – it’s what civilized people do in contrast to some of our enemies.
But ugly right wing FIENDS like Stupes don’t get their jollies on the evening Faux News from that.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
clueless wonder@64: What law is that fool? Where does the law say read them Miranda? Geneva Convention for Prisoners? Are the Iraqi terraists a country? You are trying to make that lousy equation above!
Tell Puddy clueless wonder… what law is that? North Korea followed Geneva Conventions in the 1950s? North Korean routinely killed or mistreated prisoners taken during the Korean war. Take no prisoners. Yeah you would write that. Yeah right clueless wonder.
Really clueless wonder. North Korea didn’t allow IRC visitations for the captured or wounded. North Korea didn’t sign the 1949 Geneva Convention. In the Korean war North Korea captured 7,245 US soldiers, etc. 2,806 died in North Korea, 4,418 came back, and 21 to come back (probably libtardos). And we all know how the North Vietnamese treated their prisoners don’t we? And we all know how the HA libtardos treated someone who was tortured. BTW clueless wonder, NK captured around 80,000 South Koreans. Only 10% came back. So much for those “Geneva Conventions”.
What a total tool clueless wonder is.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Yes, this libtardo clueless wonder would say that. Butt, would he say that to their parents and loved ones? “It’s just a tired old emotional argument that your loved one was beheaded that the right wing loves to drag out.” Yes, such libtardo progressive compassion.
Way to go lib-tard-o!
czechsaaz spews:
Uhhhhhh…Puddy? Do you comprehend what you read?
“Now do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.”
How exactly did you decide to use this to bolster your claim that The President ordered miranda rights for terrorists? When in fact, the quote you use is EXACTLY OPPOSITE. If it’s too tough for you to follow, let’s reorganize the sentences.
“Should (terrorists) be treated like the shoplifter down the block? Do they deserve Miranda rights? Of course not.”
Do you get tired of people making you their bitch all day?

Idiot @ 65
When WE took prisoners, WE followed the law AFAIK.
UP UNTIL THAT FUCKING CHIMP YOU VOTED FOR TWICE!
According to his tool Yoo, Geneva was “quaint”…
I don’t fucking care about unhinged nuts out there – I care about US and how we ARE in the world. We’re supposed to better than that.
But fools like you think we should conduct ourselves like a braindead Murdoch TV show you used to say you never watched!
24!
It was tried. It didn’t work. It only made things worse.
YLB spews:
I would say we will hold those who did that accountable.
Uh.. Like Ramzi Yousef who is rotting in an American jail right now?
Did your chimp get bin Laden? In fact he said, he didn’t think that much about him, didn’t he?
GBS spews:
Puddy farted:
WOW!
Are you unhinged???
You’re clearly not a military man. Do you know why we follow rules of engagement??
1) it’s the right thing to do morally. A time honored tradition that was started by our FIRST commander in chief.
2) it gives us legitimacy throughout the world when we act militarily.
3) most important, many a GI owes their lives to following these rules of war and treating prisoners of war with dignity and humanity.
Do you know why?
No, you clearly do not. You only see the brutality that was done to us and our allies by dictators and you condemn it.
But what you don’t ‘get’ is that many an adversary thought it would be better to surrender to the Americans and be treated fairly, then to face the outcome of their brutal dictator that they probably didn’t support anyway.
However, because of the Bush torture policies, that safety net is no longer in place. For the average Taliban fighter, they may just as well fight to the death than face torture and possible death in GITMO.
I’m surprised you of all people didn’t get that point long ago. For if you did, you stand up for our Troops and understand why torture hurts American soldiers.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
GBS, did you actually read what clueless wonder said above first? Then did you understand my Miranda question GBS. NOPE!
From your response below apparently you didn’t. When you reread and “THINK” about it you’ll cum to a diffrent conclusion.
The Prosecution Rests GBS. Too much partying over Al Franken.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
checksaid farts:
Easy… we have the administration evidence they read miranda to “certain” terraists. You even copied it earlier fool. Let Puddy help you again…
Since the evidence is out from what Dick Cheney said earlier this year and how he was attacked by the libtardos in “the messiah’s” administration and his talking head libtardo MSM friends it really sucks to be you. It so sucks to be stupid doesn’t it checksaid, and you prove how stupid is as stupid does all the time. So who da bitch, BITCH?
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Sorry clueless wonder this is the whole Puddy comment you chose not to include with your cut and paste…
You see fool thems your words with the correct action phrase correctly included.
czechsaaz spews:
Puddy, you are consistently my bitch.
The quote says suspects, not terrorists! (Reading comprehension skils 101.) As previously pointed out, you don’t know, nor do I, diddly squat about who or what cases are getting mirandized. You CONCLUDE terrorists with no actual evidence. (Goes back to the point, Actual Media Outlet quotes representative, blog writes up quote as actual fact, Puddy believes, Puddy quotes non-proof as proof, proving his powers of logic are, well, non-existent.
Is it possible that U.S. Contractors arrested for assault (or rape) of Afghanis or fellow contractors are what the DOJ is referring to? You have ZERO eveidence that terrorists are being mirandized.
But you’ve claimed that Obama himself has confirmed your theory. You are either deluded or lying on that point, Q.E.D.
BTW, this sentence makes no sense:
“Since the evidence is out from what Dick Cheney said earlier this year and how he was attacked by the libtardos in “the messiah’s” administration and his talking head libtardo MSM friends it really sucks to be you.”
But if it makes you feel like you’ve proved a point, well that’s pretty sad.
YLB spews:
Why pick on the gays moron?
Don’t heterosexuals have sex in public? Don’t a lot of trendies brag about “the thrill of getting caught”?
Do unhinged displays of heterosexual affection in public offend you as well?
All kinds of websites that feature peep shows of cavorting at nude beaches – man/woman cavorting.
What is it that offends you? The anal/oral sex? That’s been a male heterosexual obsession like – forever. Only the male hetero wants to do it to or get it from a woman.
You’re such a knee-jerk homophobic fool. So bankrupt in your tired thinking.

Go ahead Stupes. Keep on apologizing for Chimp face and Darth Cheney’s torture polices.
Keep on believing the pain of families who have lost their loved ones to murderers can be assuaged by egregious brutality.
Keep on believing 24 can be real.
Keep on believing in locking up people indefinitely who didn’t do shit away from their loved ones until every drop of life is wrung out of them through abuse
Keep on hating everything that was ever good about this country and its rule of law.
People like you will make sure my side stays in power a long, long time.

Checksaid, got some cheeze with that whine butch the bitch?
Now we are into speculation. The person who made the comment is EX-FBI. Too bad your femtometer brain can’t process facts, butt you sure can drink that kook-aid!
First off you moronic twit, per “the messiah” there is no War on Terror anymore it’s an Overseas Contingency Operation OCO.
Second off you idiot savant, because they don’t call them terraists the libtardo MSM goes along.
Third off you stupid egotistical libtardo, “the messiah” implemented the use FBI over CIA operation in Feb 2009.
If you paid attention to the details, Puddy wouldn’t be kicking your tail.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Now onto the clueless wonder.
You betcha fool, the San Franfreako Gay Pride was disgusting. Search on it fool and review the pictures.
Regarding heterosexual sex, yes they may do that in public. Since a penis was designed for a vagina or maybe the vagina was designed for the penis, what’s your beef unless you like your beef backside?
Bwaaaaa haaaa haaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaahaaaaa
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Ouch, he called me a fiend. The monomaniacal one, named that by a fellow libtardo is calling me a fiend. LOL! ROTFLMBBAO! Where is the cheese with that whine fool?
For the next act against clueless wonder, Puddy will refresh your memory since you possess 24 hour libtardo disease. This is what Arabs wrote visiting an interesting web site. Puddy realizes comprehension is a wonder for the clueless one. Now could these be Jews writing this as checksaid loves to live in speculation land… maybe. But the IP Address would let everyone know fo sho.
Where did Puddy think 24 is real? That’s your pipe dream. WADF!
Your cluelessness is a wonder for it’s endlessness.
You see clueless wonder, Puddy cried watching those beheading videos. A father, brother, son, husband was killed. But you clueless wonder with your blatherings above prove how heartless you really are. Puddy proved how cheap you were to your fellow peeps during the Katrina crisis and your own words prove witness to your raw moronic attitude.
See ya tool.
EPIC FAIL!
KABLAAAAAAAAAAAMO!

Moron @ 78
I don’t have much of a beef with sex in public as long as its in an appropriate place. It’s not for the kids’ consumption as I’m sure you know what I mean. Everything in its place. At the of the day I’m for freedom.
And that tired old canard about anatomy don’t fly fool. I notice you ignored my point about heterosexuals wanting a little “greek” or “french” once in a while.
The penis wasn’t made for a mouth either yet “Deep Throat” was the most profitable movie ever made.
Such an narrow-minded fool…
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
By the way the Dick Cheney sentence makes perfect sense. “the messiah”, “the messiah’s” administration and the libtardo MSM all attacked Dick Cheney for identifying the watered down policy. They attacked Cheney. They wouldn’t release the CIA documents. Telling.
Good night!

Awwww. Such a compassionate man. Boo hoo hoo.. Pull out the wallet for another hit of Murdoch. He’s got the solution…

We being like them?
NEVER!!!

Jeeeez-usssss, Puddy!
Is this going to be like the Constitution discussion where you proved you don’t comprehend what you read??
Go back, reread what I wrote. Think about it. Then try to figure out what I was really talking about, and what you’re defending.
If you Support American Troops, you’ll get it.
If you don’t you’ll continue to support Bush’s failed policies.
PS: The ClintonObama did it, tooooooooo argument just doesn’t hold water at the intellectual level. Leave that on the playground, son.
czechsaaz spews:
Snark Time! First of all HOLY-Running up red herrings really late into an argument Batman?
“Since the evidence is out (evidence, Websters, n. the wild speculation by Puddy that he KNOWS what happens in Afghanistan) from what Dick Cheney said earlier this year (Dick said a lot of things this year, in fact I think he said, in public, I’ll have another cup of cofee. Relevence is wonderful Pud.) and how he was attacked by the libtardos in “the messiah’s” administration and his talking head libtardo MSM friends (Logical conclusion. Because the current administration thinks Cheney is full of shit, it MUST be evidence of SOMETHING! But of what, Puddy can’t say.) it really sucks to be you.” (Are you saying I’m part of the MSM. Cool! I’m HUGE!)
BTW, just in case you were wondering, Rep. Mike Rodgers, who made the comment that the Weekly Standard based their article on has an online bio. http://www.house.gov/mike-rogers/about.shtml Would you point me to the part where he’s ex-FBI? Makin’ shit up again Puddy?
The prosecution rested. Then the defense, jury, and even the judges started laughing. Case dismissed, seems like Puddy has already been drinking so I’ll have a Lagunitas IPA.
czechsaaz spews:
Oh, in case you needed help on the timeline (before Puddy goes all, “I didn’t mention the Weekly Standard! I Win Kablaammo.”) Weekly Standard printed Rodgers’ claim. Fox news picked it up and quoted Rodgers’ claim. Puddy linked to blog, that stated claim as fact.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Checksaid is the most moronic on this board the last two days.
“Rogers, a former FBI special agent who served in the U.S. Army, just returned from Afghanistan and a visit to Bagram Air Base, where he said the rights are being read.”
You find the source fool!
Your honor, this moron is a dense as rujax and he’s as dense as spent uranium. All this moron had to do is search “Mike Rogers Congressman Ex-FBI Miranda rights Terrorists” but nooooooooooooooooooooo he had to make a big theatrical presentation on HA Libtardos.

Again notice how clueless wonder reacts to Americans being beheaded by “Geneva Convention members of a ‘country’, Al Qaeda terraists”.
Yep, very telling about this fool.
Yep, very telling about his progressive compassion.
Yep, very telling he has a “heart”.
And just think, this one claimed to procreate. Imagine more who think like him? Yuuuuuch!

EPIC FAIL fool!
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
BTW did you notice checksaid didn’t bring up these:
Puddy wonders why he only focused on Mike Rogers and then he focused on the wrong Mike Rogers when the empirical evidence was in front of his face. Well, he is a libtardo!
But wait there’s more directly from the Weekly Standard
“Rogers, a former FBI special agent and U.S. Army officer”
Somehow Puddy remembers reading this above

So GBS, clueless wonder is defending the Japanese, North Koreans and Vietnamese for beheading United States civilians, not members of the US military. Where did Puddy discuss beheading US Military members in Iraq? Puddy was only discussing the seven US civilians. clueless wonder decided to inject worthless factoids into the conversation. So Puddy answered clueless wonder with facts.
So GBS, reading miranda to terrorists is defending US troops? Hmmm……
So GBS, having a terrorist clam up to what his buddies are planning is defending the troops? Hmmm……
So GBS, providing an American Criminal Lovers Union lawyer(s) for terrorist(s) is defending the troops? Hmmm……
Golly GBS, we need to have lunch sooner than Puddy thought. You are going loony bins on Puddy.
GBS spews:
Before I address the thumbsucking statement above, you FAILED to acknowldege military history and FACT that many of our enemies have surrendered to American forces because they KNEW they’d be treated well.
That FACT you so blatantly and willfully ignore took American soliders out of Harms Way instead of getting into an absolute fight to the death.
As is increasingly becoming the situation now because the enemy feels it’s fight to the death or be tortured and possibly tortured to death.
Which is the better option for our adversaries: Fight to live another day, or surrender and be tortured?
Innocent until proven Guilty. Is that a quaint notion these days?
Should we act like Saddam Hussein and take away another human’s God given right to freedom with no evidence, no trial, no nothing?
Do you know that the best actionable information has ALWAYS come form interrigation methods that don’t involve torture?
Should we put someon on trial without any legal representation?
Or is it, “Shit, man, you have dark skin, don’t talk like me, don’t dress like me, don’t follow the same religion as me so therefore I convict you of being a terrorists and take away your freedom and liberties!”
Thanks, but no thanks.
I’ll stay true to the principles of George Washington and not that fucking war criminal and idiot George Bush.
If there weren’t innocent people at GITMO then why did Bush/Cheney release so many of them without charges????
Answer that one, pal. Then tell my why ensuring that due process is a bad thing.
I know folks like you think we’re a Christian Nation, founded on Christianity. I know people liek you wouldn’t mind seeing more of your relgious values being incorporated in the laws of the land.
Thoughts like that are why Iran the country is is today. Do you want to be like America or Iran?
rhp6033 spews:
Puddy fails to understand that the Iraqi insurgent movement really picked up steam only AFTER the publication of the photos of American soldiers mistreating their Iraqi prisoners. Lots of Iraqis who had taken a “wait and see” attitude regarding the U.S. occupation decided pretty quickly afterwards that the U.S. occupation must be opposed. Likewise, U.S. treatment of prisoners at Abu Grahib (sp?) and Guantanmo became Al Quida’s most valuable marketing tool. After 9/11 and being kicked out of Afganistan, Al Quida was on the ropes, marginalized and unpopular even among most Muslims. But after the U.S. started mis-treating prisoners, Al Quida got infusions of donations, material support, and recruits beyond their wildest dreams.
That’s just ONE reason why we shouldn’t do it, even if the other side does.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
GBS:
Who cares? That wasn’t my point to clueless wonder. I don’t have to acknowledge anything clueless wonder submits because he ran from the seven United States Civilians being beheaded. He decided to add the military.
For what reason?
Because he knew he had no answer to terraists beheading United States Civilians. They didn’t have their Miranda Rights read to them. They weren’t treated to Geneva Conventions for a nation’s people.
clueless wonder took the conversation somewhere he knew he could go. Puddy brought it back to the seven beheaded United States Civilians.
GBS, you can rant and whine all you want. Until you and others acknowledge the seven United States Civilians being beheaded without due cause because they weren’t fighting at all, nothing else is gonna be discussed dude. The military history and what previously happened is not of consequence to my discussion around the seven beheadings.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
rhp6033, you fail to understand something Puddy learned long ago when I was stationed in the Middle East. Why do terraists attack civilians vs military personnel? Why do terraists bomb restaurants, buses and markets? Then figger out why Nick Berg who was there helping Iraqis was chosen.
When you answer that then you and Puddy can have a cogent conversation.
