It’s 90 degrees in Seattle today, but it’ll be even hotter tonight on “The David Goldstein Show”, Newsradio 710-KIRO, from 7PM to 10PM. (Actually, it’s pretty chilly in the studio… that “hot” thing was just a stupid figure of speech.)
7PM: Can senate challenger Mike McGavick really run as a “moderate” and “independent” when he’s filling his campaign coffers from mining, oil, insurance and the rest of the GOP’s usual suspects? We get a totally unbiased, objective, nonpartisan answer from WA State Democratic Party chair Dwight Pelz.
8PM: What will it take for Democrats to win in Eastern Washington? We’ll get the answer from rancher, microbiologist, and Democratic candidate for congress (WA-05), Peter Goldmark.
9PM: If I spoke out in favor of poisoning Supreme Court justices and killing congressman, or attacked 9/11 widows as “witches” and “harpies”… I’d be pretty damned marginalized. Whereas when Ann Coulter does it, she simply sells more books. Local author and blogger (Orcinus) David Neiwert has been tracking the steady drip of violent, right-wing extremist rhetoric into the mainstream, and he joins me for the Blogger Hour to try to answer the question: Why won’t Republicans disavow Ann Coulter?
Tune in tonight and give me a call: 1-877-710-KIRO (5476).
Goldy
You should invite Ann to your show.
We don’t need no Ann Coulter pollution. Spare us that much.
I think Ann is trying to address the progressive lefts’ tendency to foreclose all arguement by proximity to death. The widows’ husbands perished in 9/11 so don’t even try to counter with their views that Bush is responsible for it…
Good luck to you and Neiwert coating yourselves as po’ little victims of right-wing meany talk – you of the Kos “screw them” of American contract workers butchered in Falujah, of darling Churchill’s little Eichmanns, of those beloved Democratic reps who have trotted out the Nazi imagery to describe the president, of the leadership in the NAACP, ditto the stream of calumny coming from Dixiewood entertainment Bush haters…
Ah, yes, Sing to me of the super-sane left – such a trial to share the planet with those trash-talking righties;
Try tackling a real issue: why are the left’s enemies such softballs? Radio wonks, civil servants and elected officials in free democracies;
At least the right attempts taking on international mad-dog heartless religio fanatic killers…
das-
Obvisouly, you’ve never served in the US armed forces. When private contractors go flat-hatting all over Iraq, get shot down and put the Army in the position on saving their asses, that’s what Kos was talking about. When a private in the US Army (paid about 15 grand) has to risk his life to save the ass of some paid mercenary (paid 120 grand), this is bullshit. I support the US Army. Chickenhawks like you support Blackwater Security.
I’m a Republican and I disavow me from Ann Coulter.
I’d love a serious discussion of the folly of declaring radio show talk as campaign contributions…
of course if you guys insist that Kiro guys are violating laws…then lets add you to it
(by the way Seattle Times owes a big fine for their front page hit piece to hlep out Maria….don’t tell me that wasn’t a lib wanting a lib, and writing an article to make it more likely)
Maybe Goldy should put Das on the air. That would be most illuminating. What do you say, Das? You seem to have a way with words.
Will, all I know is that Kos unleashed his strongest vilification for the murdered rather than the murderers and that is pretty much standard operating procedure for Kos; I didn’t know the murdered violated a tenant of the left by making decent money – and that – unequal to US soldiers. According to the logic of the left that makes them deserve what they got. Lovely bunch, you guys.
Green Thumb,
I’ll take the compliment thanks, and return it to you and all the writers here with puzzlement as to why you dilute all your often good arguments with vagina lips and stuffed assholes and all that…I’ll gladly participate in Goldy’s show when he does a special show on lefty’s who have stopped being leftys. (That doesn’t mean I am a conservative or a wingnut righty; I’m not sure what I am but I am sure I am not of the current Bush-hating left cult); I’m not so good on the local politics; I found Goldy becuse he was well-informed on the doings of the Seattle school board…
Republicans won’t disavow Coulter because they’re just as sick, twisted, demented, violent, and sociopathic as she is.

You guys use taxpayer money to pay mercenaries 120K a year while you won’t even pay for basic equipment for our uniformed troops.
You guys invade another country on the pretext of overthrowing an evil dictator and bringing freedom and democracy to its people — then arrest, imprison, torture, and murder innocent civilians without a shred of due process.
You guys kick in the doors of peoples’ homes and murder their women, children, and babies by firing military weapons into their heads at point-blank range.
And then you have the balls to wrap Old Glory around all of this, and call yourselves “patriots.”
Lovely bunch, you guys.

GOP CAMPAIGN STRATEGY REVEALED
Disenfranchise people of color. Interesting that they, themselves, believe they can “win” elections only by keeping American citizens from voting in their own country.
“Don’t kid yourself: the Republican party’s decision yesterday to ‘delay’ the renewal of the Voting Rights Act has not a darn thing to do with objections of the Republican’s white sheets caucus. Complaints by a couple of good ol’ boys to legislation have never stopped the GOP leadership from rolling over dissenters.
“This is a strategic stall that is meant to decriminalise the Republican party’s new game of challenging voters of colour by the hundreds of thousands.
“In the 2004 presidential race, the GOP ran a massive, multi-state, multimillion-dollar operation to challenge the legitimacy of black, Hispanic and Native American voters. The methods used breached the Voting Rights Act, and while the Bush administration’s civil rights division grinned and looked the other way, civil rights lawyers began circling, preparing to sue to stop the violations of the act before the 2008 race.
“So Republicans have promised to no longer break the law – not by going legit but by eliminating the law.
“The act was passed in 1965 after the Ku Klux Klan and other upright citizens found they could use procedural tricks – ‘literacy tests’, poll taxes and more – to block citizens of colour from casting ballots.
“Here is what happened in 2004, and what’s in store for 2008.
“In the 2004 election, more than 3 million voters were challenged at the polls. No one had seen anything like it since the era of Jim Crow and burning crosses. In 2004, voters were told their registrations had been purged or that their addresses were ‘suspect’.
“Denied the right to the regular voting booths, these challenged voters were given ‘provisional’ ballots. More than 1m of these provisional ballots (1,090,729 of them) were tossed in the electoral dumpster uncounted.
“A funny thing about those ballots: about 88% were cast by minority voters.
“This isn’t a number dropped on me from a black helicopter: they come from the raw data of the US election assistance commission in Washington DC.
“At the heart of the GOP’s mass challenge of voters was what the party’s top brass called ‘caging lists’ – secret files of hundreds of thousands of voters, almost every one from a black-majority voting precinct.
“When our investigations team, working for BBC TV, got our hands on these confidential files in October 2004, the Republicans told us the voters listed were their potential ‘donors’. Really? The sheets included pages of men from homeless shelters in Florida.
“Donor lists, my ass. Every expert told us, these were ‘challenge lists’ meant to stop these black voters from casting ballots.
“When these ‘caged’ voters arrived at the polls in November 2004, they found their registrations missing, their right to vote blocked or their absentee ballots rejected because their addresses were supposedly ‘fraudulent’.
“Why didn’t the GOP honchos fess up to challenging these allegedly illegal voters? Because targeting voters of colour is against the law. The law in question is the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
“The act says you can’t go after groups of voters if you choose your targets based on race. Given that almost all the voters on the GOP hit list are black, the illegal racial profiling is beyond even Karl Rove’s ability to come up with an alibi.
“The Republicans target black folk not because they don’t like the colour of their skin; they don’t like the colour of their vote: Democrat. For that reason, the GOP included on its hit list Jewish retirement homes in Florida. Apparently, the GOP was also gunning for the Elderly of Zion.
“These so-called ‘fraudulent’ voters, in fact, were not fraudulent at all. Page after page, as we have previously reported, are black soldiers sent overseas. The Bush campaign used their absence from their US homes to accuse them of voting from false addresses.
“Now that the GOP has been caught breaking the voting rights law, it has found a way to keep using its expensively obtained ‘caging’ lists: let the law expire next year. If the Voting Rights Act dies in 2007, the 2008 race will be open season on dark-skinned voters. Only the renewal of the Voting Rights Act can prevent the planned racial wrecking of democracy.
“Before the 2000 presidential ballot, then Jeb Bush purged thousands of Black citizens’ registrations on the grounds that they were ‘felons’ not entitled to vote. Our review of the files determined that the crime of most people on the list was nothing more than VWB — Voting While Black.
“That ‘felon scrub’, as the state called it, had to be ‘pre-cleared’ under the Voting Rights Act. That is, the US justice department must approve “scrubs” and other changes in procedures.
“The Florida felon scrub slipped through this ‘pre-clearance’ provision because Katherine Harris’s assistant assured the government the scrub was just a clerical matter. Civil rights lawyers are now on the alert for such mendacity.
“The burning cross caucus of the Republican Party is bitching that ‘pre-clearance’ of voting changes applies only to southern states. I have to agree that singling out the old confederacy is a bit unfair. But the solution is not to smother the voting rights law but to spread its safeguards to all 50 of these United States.
“Republicans argue that the racial voting games and the threats of the white-hooded Klansmen that kept African-Americans from the ballot box before the 1965 passage of the Voting Rights Act no longer threaten black voters.
“That’s true. When I look over the ‘”caging lists’ and the ‘scrub sheets’, it’s clear to me that the GOP has traded in white sheets for spreadsheets.”

This paragraph bears repeating:
“Page after page, as we have previously reported, are black soldiers sent overseas. The Bush campaign used their absence from their US homes to accuse them of voting from false addresses.”
REPUBLICANS DON’T SUPPORT THE TROOPS — THEY DISENFRANCHISE THEM.

das, you are a fool.
You have proven, through your demonstrated ignorance of liberal ideals, that you were never a liberal. You have the common wingnut idea that youth and liberalism are synonymous. This stems from an old jibe from Sir Winston Churchill, and nut cakes, like you, have taken it as revealed truth. It was a joke son.
This misinformed state about liberals melds into another situation your post at #9 and #12 reveals. That is you suffer from a common failing among conservatives, an inability to perceive irony, sarcasm and satire. It is hard to state why this is so, perhaps it is genetic, although P. J. O’rourke seems to get it. Maybe the fault lies elsewhere…
No, Hairy Turtle, you are the fool, over, and over again.
30.
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
Harry, I think the fault lies primarily with the public school system. Quick, now: How many teachers in your entire K-12 career had a sense of humor? I can remember maybe two. Look what happened to me.
I’d like to weigh in on this, Harry. My sense — and here I speak with the authority of someone who has earned four degrees — is that the fault lies with the liberal media.
Look at the TV news shows. How many times did you ever see a shred of irony coming from Brokaw, Rather or Jennings? Never, I say!
Liberals didn’t discover humor until Jon Stewart escaped from a mental institution, took refuge in a TV studio, and got the bright idea of holding hostage a camera. Get this: His show was a complete accident!
Funny you should mention irony, Harry. A recent study produced by the Institute for the Extermination of Liberalism shows that iberals have a 56 percent less capacity for irony than Wall Street conservatives, 73 percent less capacity than cultural conservatives, and 103 percent less capacity than neo-Nazi conservatives.
This clearly proves that you are not only wrong, Harry, but sadly lacking in irony yourself. Perhaps you should start going to church.
32, 33
Excellent theories, although I’d say if #33 is the cause, that it would be proof positive that the media is not liberal.
We’ll disavow Ann Coulter when you guys disavow Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Alec Baldwin, The Dixie Chicks, and Algore.
Why is it OK for you guys to drip violent kook crap and somehow when we tell the fucking truth you have a problem with it.
Typical fucking moonbat hypocrites…
Harry, I usually like to stick to my talking points, but I must digress long enough to tell you that I am a sophisticated consumer of irony. Not sarcasm, which is unlady-like. Not satire, which is the common man’s opera. But irony and me, well we go way back.
I remember the first time I met irony. It made me laugh so hard I blushed. It even made me a tad wet down there. Wow
36.
Tell us, oh wonder of the four degrees, of the transgressions of those on your list of hateful lefties.
And another thing, H-a-r-r-y. We will disavow Adolph Hitler when you guys disavow FDR. He was a fascist pig, you know.
That was Joe Kennedy, wasn’t it?
Clearly you don’t know your history like I do, Harry.
Will, I stand with anyone with a finger on a loaded gun pointed at terrorists.
Harry, you seem obessed about my cofessed past, as a hard core, true-blue leftist; I was and someday we’ll have the opportunity for you to examine my bonafides; trouble is I still feel like a liberal; after 9/11 though, all my liberal friends whooshed past me into a nut-land of HalliburtonBush-Hitlerville, while the rough beast slouched towards Bethlehem, born and devouring as he went.
Why do you hate conservatives more than the jihad terrorists? Isn’t that a kind of luxury? the kind of cost-free hatred that you can perform in the comfort of your computer room? Just curious…
Why do you hate conservatives more than the jihad terrorists?
Simple – the so-called conservatives ARE the terrorists. And should be exterminated.

“all my liberal friends whooshed past me into a nut-land of HalliburtonBush-Hitlerville”
Screeeeeech … hit the brakes! Republicans have squandered 2,500 American lives and half a trillion dollars in a war against a country that had NOTHING to do with 9/11 or terrorism … and you think the liberals who question the GOP’s lies and incompetence are in “nut-land”?
My friend, you seriously need help.
Why would I need help when I’ve already been found? Have you found Jesus, Roger? It would help your constipation.
There is something in the conservative position that elicits all this leftoid fetor; Goldy’s Palace guards here are far more excercised against pro-Bush forces than terrorists; that tells me that they bask in a vast sense of luxurious self-righteous anger about the world; anger is just that = a luxury; there is a certain 2-year old charm in all the diaper rash going on here; you guys poop out fetor and explitives with the abandon of happy infants…but…there is an enemy and it isn’t Bush or Republicans; to the degree that you continue to believe this lark your world lies untouched by the terrorist monster…
das must be smokin’ crack!!!
If terrorists hate freedom and democracy, why aren’t they blowing up buildings in Sweden?
42.
my liberal friends whooshed past me into a nut-land of HalliburtonBush-Hitlerville, while the rough beast slouched towards Bethlehem, born and devouring as he went.
Clearly, I have no idea who your friends are, but as a life-liberal who first voted in 1962, the position of liberals in my circle was that the routing of the Taliban and destruction of al-Quada camps on Afghanistan was A-OK and curtailed before the job, capture of the guys on the top (bin Laden and his lieutenants) was complete.
Instead, a job was left undone there, and the U. S. then focused on enemy that had been incapacitated by ten years of military action against them, Iraq.
I do not see how this was of personnel and materiel in any way stems terrorism. In fact, the evidence is ample that terrorism has grown as a result of our excursion in Iraq.
Instead of enhacing the security of shipping containers, nuclear installations and chemical plants, I am told that intercepting terabytes of personal data and communication records about U. S. citizens enhances my safety from terrorist attack. That arresting a U. S. citizen to eventually charge him with making a contribution to a charity, and that charity that then may have given money to an al-Qaeda connected organization is somehow a protection against terrorist.
Instead of dealing with a North Korean foe, who now has both the weapon and the delivery system, I see the administration becoming less and less effective in their dealing with the foe. Turning its attention to Iran, that does not have a weapon or delivery system.
To have you say that disagreeing with a very inefectual effort that costs a nation’s ransom and enriches industry atop the bones of the dead is, somehow, cheering on the terrorists is so illogical, it’s hard to think you ever thought any differently.
so, don’t be so disrespectful as to assert that 9/11, as horrible as that event was, was an epiphany for you that drives you to post as you do here. That story doesn’t hold water.
The religious right hates freedom and democracy. Right wing nuts who murder abortion doctors are terrorists. The KKK conservatives who recently burned a 22 foot cross to intimidate Mexicans are terrorists. I could go on like this forever, das , because you and your kind are terrorists.
I do not see how this waste of personnel and…

Commentby L-Mur Phd.— 6/25/06@ 8:59 pm
For crying out loud. That was my fund raiser dipshit. Geeeesh
Would someone suggest a lobotomy for Beverly in Burien? She gets a tad overwrought on the radio.
Hahahaha
These dems keep on hanging themselves with the KKK stuff.
I’m not gonna call tonight — I can’t speak for eastern Washington folks — but I’ll post the following observations here.
First, there are people in eastern Washington who will vote Republican no matter what. To hell with them. Democrats should worry about how they can support the one-third of eastern Washington voters who vote Democratic. We need to educate ourselves about their issues, support them on things like gun rights, and in general make it possible for them to support our candidates by not antagonizing them. Even if they can’t elect Democrats to local offices, we need their votes to win statewide contests. They’re important, and we need to make sure they know that we understand that.
Second, there’s nothing we can do about people like Beverly (or whatever her name was), who called in to Goldy’s show and started shrieking about abortion. Like Beverly (or whatever her name is), I believe abortion is morally wrong. But there’s a host of moral issues in politics, and Republicans are on the wrong side of most of them. Emotion-driven single-issue voters like Beverly (or whatever her name is), who wilfully blind themselves to the GOP’s incompetence and corruption, can’t be reasoned with. Also, people who support abortion rights have as much right as she does to have their views represented by a political party, and to have a say in what our laws are, and how we govern our country. What Beverly (or whatever her name is) wants the Democratic Party to do is cave in to her temper tantrum. The DP’s answer to that should be, “no.” And my answer to Beverly (or whatever her name is) is, you can be an anti-abortion Democrat. I am. That puts you on the right side of the moral issues facing our country. The Democratic Party is a big tent. There’s room under it for disparate views.
Finally, I think it’s totally unrealistic for conservative, anti-government, eastern Washington Republicans to think they can run this state. They’re only about 13% of the state’s population. Furthermore, everything they have over there exists because of Democratic policies, and everything they do over there is subsidized by urban taxes. If they don’t like our money, then let’s stop sending it to them.
roger; you move to e. washington..? looking for that elusive 3% of our energy?
Dave Niewert is talking about the “eliminationist rhetoric” of people like Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin. Maybe wingers think it’s a big fucking joke. Guess what, righties, we liberals think you motherfuckers mean what you say. That makes you “terrorists” and “Nazis.” Read whatever implications you want into that.
49.
Well said Harry, well said, though I disagree will all your premises. I especially liked your last two sentences (the writing not the sentiment);
It is hard to talk to you and roger because you keep putting forth all these “Grail” sentences posing as arguement but, in reality, they are not;
You think you gain high ground – shutting my mouth – by mentioning the 2500 hundred dead over and over as though you owned these lives now gone, now sacrificed for us. Again, this is a leftist tactic to foreclose on the whole issue of Iraq by appealing to the dead. These dead soldiers are important to you insofar as their deadness helps you to foreclose your argument about Iraq; See, dead soldiers; Iraq no good. Well pick a number and stand in line because these men and women soldiers were lots of things before being snared as a cipher in your frustrated arguing about Iraq. These men and women had committed themselves voluntarily to military vows, to an elected civilian commander in chief; these are sacred and ancient vows made more so now because they are voluntary. The nail in the head of the left is that the military is a volunteer military. And no amount of sneering and yes, blaspheme upon their vows and purpose will change that. You think by screaming about the military dead you are implicating those of us committed to the war in Iraq – again another leftist quest for purity.
another thing that is weird about the left: you’re so eager to scream about the dead soldiers and you are so eager to believe they walk into houses to shoot women and children in the head. What is the matter with you?

No list from Redneck. He never delivers on anything. Wagers, backup data, explanations about what the hell he’s talking about.

Commentby das— 6/25/06
Or perhaps such a small, baby step toward sanity is beyond his bold rhetoric.
The normal profits of a business concern in the United States are six, eight, ten, and sometimes even twelve per cent. But wartime profits-ah! that is another matter-twenty, sixty, one hundred, three hundred, and even eighteen hundred per cent-the sky is the limit. All that the traffic will bear. Uncle Sam has the money. Let’s get it.
Of course, it isn’t put that crudely in war time. It is dressed up into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and “we must put our shoulder to the wheel,” but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket-and are safely pocketed.

Are you speaking of the end of days, das?
Is this excursion in Iraq a Holy mission to you?
In order to protect Bethlehem, are we to leave our cities undefended?
Another impressive job by Goldy on the Ray-Dee-Oh. It’s really good to hear adults discuss Ideas on the radio, for a change.
Thank you, General Butler. Another quote of yours I take to heart is this:
When he [the returning soldier] returned home minus an eye, or a leg, or his mind broken, they suffered too — as much as and even sometimes more than he. Yes, and they, too, contributed their dollars to the profits that the munitions makers and bankers and shipbuilders and manufacturers and speculators made…And even now the families of the wounded men and of the mentally broken and those who never were able to readjust themselves are still suffering and still paying.
Careful, Gen. Butler, das may spit on your grave and accuse you of blasphemy.
General Butler, if you keep at it then Horse’s Ass will start reading like that vulgar, satanic blog, “Sadly, No!”
Perish the thought.
Perhaps you should go into advertising copy writing, where you talents could find full measure.
It would have been far cheaper (not to say safer) for the average American who pays the bills to stay out of foreign entanglements. For a very few, this racket, like boot-legging and other underworld rackets, brings fancy profits, but the cost of operations is always transferred to the people-who do not profit.
das, you must be smokin’ crack!
But General Butler Sir, won’t our entire way of life collapse like an iceberg into a warming sea of unanticipated consequences if we dump our old friend, the Permanent Wartime Economy? Or have I been duped by the miltary-industrial complex and its fellow travelers in the MSM?
Apparently I’m not the only one wondering why Coulter hasn’t been disbarred for publicly advocating the murder of judges and other public officials. Liberal blogger Taylor Marsh is wondering the same thing. http://www.taylormarsh.com/arc.....hp?id=1797
Yes, I realize Coulter isn’t making her living by practicing law, and lifting her attorney’s license would be merely symbolic. You can say exactly the same thing about Bill Clinton, but that doesn’t stop wingers from making a big deal of Clinton’s suspension from the Arkansas bar for lying to a grand jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. The “attorney” title — which Coulter is entitled to — gives her credibility she doesn’t deserve. And letting someone like her have the license is a black mark on the entire legal profession. Attorneys are officers of the court, and simply can’t display the disrespect for judges that Coulter does. It is in the best interests of the legal profession and our system of justice that Ann Coulter not remain an attorney.
You’d think with all the trial lawyers in the Democratic Party, somebody would file a complaint against her. I’m not sure where she’s licensed; I assume New York, because that’s where she was (briefly) in private practice. It’s also possible she was licensed by Michigan, because that’s where she went to law school.
Since I’m a Washington lawyer, I can guarantee you that Coulter does not meet the character and fitness requirements for admission to our state bar. She could never get a license here, thank God. But my point is, she shouldn’t be licensed anywhere.
Disbarring Ann Coulter would send a message: You can’t incite public hatred against judges and the courts, because that undermines the administration of justice. And if you do — you can’t be an attorney. Disbarring Ann Coulter would send another message to the general public: Coulter is a fringie of low character who is not fit to practice law, and is not worth listening to.
Somebody in the Democratic bar needs to get cracking on this.
das: Are you Kevin Carns? Only a propagandist like Carns would so blatantly distort the views of people who disagree with the Iraq policy of the Bush mis-administration. This policy has meant nothing but disaster for this country.
Iraq is bad because:
1) it wasn’t necessary, Iraq was a negligible threat
2) it has cost this country countless billion in treasure
3) it has cost this country the good will of much of the world
4) it has exhausted the resources of the U.S. military
5) it has cost 10 of thousands of Iraqi lives
6) it has maimed and traumatized many more thousands of Iraqis
7) it has maimed and traumatized thousands of Americans
8) over 2500 Americans are dead
Have I missed anything?
What about that conservative guy who blew up the Federal building. You know, the young “conservative” they had to execute. And what about that fine, patriotic young “conservative” who blew those innocent people up at the Atlanta Olympics. “Pro-Life” — that’s what he called himself. And what about those conservative Democrats in the 60’s who switched to the Republican Party after the Democratic leadership backed the Civil Rights Bill? You know, das, the ones who call themselves “Christians”?
The difference between a real Christian and a Republican Christian is that a real Christian tries to model his life after Christ, but a Republican “Christian” is not judged on his behavior, but on his willingness to “believe” fantastic folktales about people who rise from the dead andf such.
I guess that’ Robert Byrd’s fault as well?

Clueless @ 74, whoever das is, I suspect he isn’t Carns. The latter seems to be more interested in state politics, and (if I’m guessing right) has a pretty crass approach to propagandizing. Das seems to have more national/international interests, and he’s a more nuanced wordsmith. Perhaps das is affiliated with one of the national Republican spin-control outfits.
I profoundly disagree with das’s arguments, but I’d rather read him than the contentless carpet bombings of JCH or the trailer park bellowing of MTR.
das is a smooth-balled, needle-prick buttfucker — who just happens to be a conservative terrorist.
All,
A beautiful cacophony of leftoid cliche (I especially loved mommy’s 70’s beaut – Permanent Wartime Economy – that’s a chestnut to warm the heart of any dreadlocked drum circle! : the once powerful progressive ideas that were to transform the world now reduced to sneering at journalists and elected officials and those who disagree with them; and narry a word against the jihad terrorists who would gleefully cut leftoid throats…
1) it wasn’t necessary, Iraq was a negligible threat
Right. Leftist dreaming.
2) it has cost this country countless billion in treasure
Wait till things really crank up. In WWII we spent 30% of the GNP on war; we’re nowhere near than yet.
3) it has cost this country the good will of much of the world
We never had the goodwill of the people who write for newspapers in foreign countries; america bashing is oldtime religion among the writer classes of the world; on the other hand the world’s poor are dying to get here;
4) it has exhausted the resources of the U.S. military
which US Military?
5) it has cost 10 of thousands of Iraqi lives
terrorists kill, that’s what they do…
6) it has maimed and traumatized many more thousands of Iraqis
terrorists are having a field day in Iraq
7) it has maimed and traumatized thousands of Americans
who happen to be volunteer soldiers committed to this fight;
8) over 2500 Americans are dead
See post 58. You don’t care about the soldiers except as dead soldiers – only as an illustration for your argument; the live soldiers you slander and accuse of murder and heap any kind of defamatory innuendo upon them – do don’t give me your dead soldier bit, bub.
Nice dodge, das, but who is the Holy entity you say we are blapheming?
It’s your statement, what do you mean?
Here we thought these kooks were from [un]SP, and they’re coming from the Discovery Institute.
80 – you’re probably right. At the end of the day, however, Das is just as crass IMO. He tars everyone with the brush of all the far left ‘isms’, i.e. Maoism, Stalinism, Marxism, etc. He pronounce the views of people here as both “scary” and “childish” which smacks of both megalomania and paranoia.
His judgements are an ugly smear of the people here. I find the liberal commenters here quite moderate in their views. If we get a little excited it’s only because the current political leadership of the federal government is so godawful bad.
80
Carns is paid to promote the pro-developer agenda of the BIAW.
82.
See 22.
D’ass starts to show his truly psychotic colors. . .his talking points are dissolving even as he types them in to the ‘puter. It’s not ‘cut-n-run’ when General Casey speaks of a draw down. And when present and former members of the Joint Chief’s of Staff speak of “breaking the military” D’Ass in his omniscient knowledge of all things military says it is not so. . .
Perhaps his knowledge of the military is as extensive as Karl Roves knowledge of his boy-toy Gannon Gukert.
re 82: Don’t give das more credit than he’s due. He’s an idiot with a Roget’s Thesaurus, a Conservative terrorist, a smooth-balled, needle-pricked buttfucker — all in the name of our sweet bleeding Lord, Jesus Christ — the 6 minute dinosaur.
If you snatch away das Thesaurus the pustulating primal hatred will soon appear.
Conservatism is all about hate and fear and corporatism.
I don’t know who posted 37, but it wasn’t me. I actually know how to spell my name. And I post under the same name, instead of making up new ones and hiding behind them.
As for goldy-radio – why would I want to listen to a bunch of guys sitting around agreeing with each other? Is goldy afraid to have someone on that might say something other than what he wants to hear? Believe it or not, people can disagree with reasoned argument and come out with everyone learning something new. (But you wouldn’t know it by those here who shout down everyone who disagrees with them.)
A beautiful cacophony of leftoid cliche
Which you answer with bankrupt rightist talking points.
the jihad terrorists who would gleefully cut leftoid throats…
Perfect example.
1) Right. Leftist dreaming.
So was S.H. involved in 9/11? Despite Cheney’s bloviations, not even Bush went so far. Did Britain and the U.S. patrol the southern and northern frontiers of Iraq? Did they bomb at will?
2) Wait till things really crank up. In WWII we spent 30% of the GNP on war; we’re nowhere near than yet.
I’m reminded of Shakespeare – ’tis a dream devoutly to be wished.. Well is it das?
3)We never had the goodwill of the people who write for newspapers in foreign countries; america bashing is oldtime religion among the writer classes of the world; on the other hand the world’s poor are dying to get here;
Sigh. Countless before and after opinion surveys bear this out despite people’s economic aspirations.
4) which US Military?
Army and Marines. It appears the navy and air force have been mostly saved for Iran.
5) terrorists kill, that’s what they do…
American bombs kill as well. Even most precision munitions miss their targets. People are run over every time re-supply convoys come up from Kuwait.
6) terrorists are having a field day in Iraq
So is modern american weaponry and tactics which are poorly suited to a military occupation.
7) who happen to be volunteer soldiers committed to this fight;
Who depend on the political leadership to send them into battle only when it’s absolutely necessary.
8) See post 58. You don’t care about the soldiers except as dead soldiers – only as an illustration for your argument; the live soldiers you slander and accuse of murder and heap any kind of defamatory innuendo upon them – do don’t give me your dead soldier bit, bub.
The ugly rantings of an ugly mind. Soldiers are driven to commit atrocities in every war – that’s why war should be an absolute last resort. I’ve seen interviews with Iraq veterans expressing the opinion that the whole country should be carpet-bombed to “start over” “better that than a shithole”. I don’t condemn them in the least for that sentiment. I save my condemnation for the poor excuses for leaders who sent them there.
Who gives a damn about who das is? What does it matter? Try to answer some of my thoughts and arguments rather than sitting around saying, “he’s a wordsmith for the Republicans.”
This much is true: I still feel like I am some kind of liberal in that I favor civilization over barbarism; I am a former lefty in that I used to believe all the things you guys believe here but not anymore. I am not a Republican and only voted for one Republican in my whole life: W in 04.
It doesn’t matter who I am.
das @ 82
You call that a response? God…whoever is paying you, even if it is only a penny/hour, is paying too much. You are a fucking idiot!
das @ 93
‘Who gives a damn about who das is? What does it matter? Try to answer some of my thoughts and arguments rather than sitting around saying, “he’s a wordsmith for the Republicans.”’
Hey, dipshit, this is a liberal blog. Why the fuck would we be at all interested in engaging you in any sort of debate? Why would a wingnut (or incipient wingnut, assuming your claims are true) like you bother posting here?
93.
You have said nothing, you only attack.
If you voted for Bush because of some fantasy that you were fighting terrorism, you were wrong. If you voted in Washington, there was no great harm done. You were in the minority. If you voted in Iowa, New Mexico, or Ohio, go see a Priest.
He’ll give you absolution you won’t get here.
82
Man, this is gonna be TOO easy.
“1) it wasn’t necessary, Iraq was a negligible threat
“Right. Leftist dreaming.
No facts here; just rightwing rant — “leftist dreaming.” How so? What was the threat, das? Can you specify one? Iraq had no WMDs; no ICBMs, bombers, or submarines to deliver WMDs; no nuclear weapons, no nuclear reactor, no nuclear program; no interest in attacking the U.S. (Saddam only wanted to coerce his neighbors); no Al Qaida training camps, and no Al Qaida terrorists (Saddam and Osama were on the outs with each other; in addition, terrorists would be potential rivals and a threat to Saddam’s regime); and Saddam couldn’t possibly invade Kuwait or Saudi Arabia while they were under American protection.
Saddam was, at most, a pain in the ass.
“2) it has cost this country countless billion in treasure
“Wait till things really crank up. In WWII we spent 30% of the GNP on war; we’re nowhere near than yet.
Actually, the billions Bush has spent on his war CAN be counted — about 300 billion of direct spending so far, and estimated indirect costs to the American economy of around a trillion dollars.
The Iraq war is a contributing factor to high oil prices, and Bush’s deficit financing of the war will lead to inflation, high interest rates, and high unemployment. In addition, the money diverted for war spending (plus future interest payments on the new debt) can’t be used for things that benefit the American people here at home.
“3) it has cost this country the good will of much of the world
W”e never had the goodwill of the people who write for newspapers in foreign countries; america bashing is oldtime religion among the writer classes of the world; on the other hand the world’s poor are dying to get here;
This statement is simply false; a lie. America liberated Europe and the Pacific from Hitler and Tojo, and for decades defended the Free World against Soviet domination. We were considered “a beacon of hope” in the world. Thanks to Bush and his followers, those countries now regard the U.S. as a warmonger and bully.
“4) it has exhausted the resources of the U.S. military
“which US Military?
Your reply, das, is beyond stupid — it lacks meaning. It says nothing. Perhaps you thought it clever; but it is merely banal and vacuous. While I don’t agree that Iraq has sapped U.S. military resources — our nuclear deterrent is uninvolved in Iraq and remains unimpaired, and the bulk of our conventional forces are NOT in Iraq and are either performing garrison duty in various locations or are in CONUS and available for deployment in a crisis — neverthless Iraq is hurting morale in the volunteer military, is consuming equipment, fuel, personnel, munitions, and other resources, and is a hindrance on tactical flexibility if the military finds itself in the position of having to respond to a crisis elsewhere.
“5) it has cost 10 of thousands of Iraqi lives
“terrorists kill, that’s what they do…
It’s true that U.S. military operations in Iraq have killed thousands of civilians. How many thousands is debated. It’s not true that Iraq has anything to do with “terrorists.” It may be that some terrorists are now operating in Iraq, thanks to the U.S. creating the opportunity for them to do so. But the so-called “insurgency” — a misnomer — mostly consists of people trying to throw a foreign invader out of their country. The run-of-the-mill fighters attacking our troops are not “terrorists,” they are an opposing military force, which is employing guerilla tactics and therefore its fighters can aptly be called “guerillas.” It’s also correct to call them “the enemy.”
“6) it has maimed and traumatized many more thousands of Iraqis
“terrorists are having a field day in Iraq”
An inflated claim. Such terrorists as are able to operate in Iraq are too few in number and too lacking in resources to have a significant impact on the course of events.
“7) it has maimed and traumatized thousands of Americans
“who happen to be volunteer soldiers committed to this fight”
This is true of some of our military personnel, but not all of them. Those held in the military against their will under “stop loss” can’t be considered volunteers; they’re effectively conscripts. Obviously, the hundreds of American soldiers who have deserted aren’t committed to this fight; and thousands more who are complaining about repeated deployments to Iraq don’t seem very “committed to this fight,” either. The dissension is even reaching into the ranks of retired generals. Even within the military, there is nowhere near unanimous support for continued involvement in Iraq.
“8) over 2500 Americans are dead
“See post 58. You don’t care about the soldiers except as dead soldiers – only as an illustration for your argument; the live soldiers you slander and accuse of murder and heap any kind of defamatory innuendo upon them – do don’t give me your dead soldier bit, bub.
This statement, along with your post @58, is beneath contempt and frankly if you said something like that to my face you would regret it. First of all, you rightwing motherfuckers don’t own the military; we’re all responsible for America’s soldiers. As citizens, we have the right and obligation to inquire about the wisdom of committing them to battle, and spending their lives on questionable military actions. Whether you like it or not, this is a democracy, and you don’t have the right to silence critics or opponents. Secondly, the death of a single American soldier is an occasion of sadness and sorrowness, made especially keen by a sense that this loss of life is senseless, pointless, and profitless. It certainly has nothing to do with fighting the bastards who attacked us on 9/11.
Keep drinking the rightwing kool-aid; you fuckers have divided our country, sown hatreds among our own people, and undermined the troops you claim to support.
The ugly fact is, rightwingers don’t support the troops. You’re not willing to pay taxes to buy even basic battle gear for the soldiers in the field. Your party tried to cut their combat pay, and cut veterans benefits. All of your party’s leaders are people who copped out of military service when it was their turn to serve — and you vote for these draft dodgers and deserters.
I donated $99 to http://www.operation-helmet.org/ to buy one (1) helmet upgrade kit for a soldier serving in Afghanistan or Iraq. This should be the government’s responsibility, but our government is failing our troops in the field, so it’s up to us as private citizens to buy the equipment for the troops that our government won’t purchase for them. What have you contributed to this cause, wingfuck? Nothing, I’ll bet. You’re nothing but a mouth. I repeat: YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A MOUTH. Empty suit. All hat, no cattle. A flat tire where the rubber meets the road. That’s you. From now on, whenever you claim to “support the troops,” I’m going to mock you, because you deserve to be mocked.
You don’t support the troops. You’re USING the troops — for your own selfish ends. Fuck you, traitor bastard.

Don’t expect that idiot to know anything; he doesn’t read newspapers. Hell, he can’t even read the billboards.

D’Ass is all hat, no cattle. If he believes in the Iraq war, why doesn’t he enlist?

And that doesn’t even count bribery and theft.
The real purpose of the Iraq war was to line the pockets of the GOP’s contractor friends.
93
What part of your thoughts and arguments did you fail to answer?
The only reason we’re wondering who D’Ass is, is because we thought there might be a public safety issue unless you receive appropriate intervention.
correction to 103
Should read: What part of your thoughts and arguments did we fail to answer?
Like I said, there is much much more anger here directed towards your beloved countrymen who disagree with you than with the jihad murderers who would gleefully cut your throats.
I don’t understand that. It is a mystery.
That is my gift to you; a chance to examine yourselves; to know yourselves further.

Roger Rabbit don’t take no shit off wingfuck traitors! Roger Rabbit kicks ass!!!
RR, Not a good night for you. Go to bed. Your “guvment” check will still come this week.
I have to apologize for something. Last night I criticized the people who participate on this blog for shouting down everyone who disagrees with them. I got up on my high horse and insisted that this was wrong – that people can disagree with reasoned argument and come out with everyone learning something new.
That sounded pretty good. The problem is that I haven’t been walking my talk. You could probably list dozens of examples (and in an effort to clear the air I invite you to do so), but I will sheepishly present just one big whopper.
I haven’t treated Darcy Burner fairly. I have repeatedly demanded that her supporters explain her merits, and when they did I pulled a Mark the Redneck routine of only hearing what I wanted to hear (which was quite close to nothing). I also refused to give an adequate answer to their entirely reasonable question: What has Reichert done that justifies re-election. Why did I deflect? Because he is no Abraham Lincoln.
Truth be told, I find it very hard to be objective on this race. I’ve given money to Reichert, my husband is a lobbyist who requires a good working relationship, and almost all of my friends are Republican insiders. Our cocktail parties frankly have an echo chamber quality.
That’s not the case at this blog. I give Goldy credit for not censoring people. You have lots more debate here than at Sound Politics.
So my apologies. I will try to listen more carefully and not present my views with such shrillness. I will try to loosen up and have a better sense of humor. I’ll even do a better job of spelling my name right.
Nice try at 111. But isn’t it chickenshit to fake who you are? If you disagree with me, have the guts to sign your name to it (even if it is an alias).
Darcy Burner is in the spotlight now, on her own choosing. If she can’t be criticized, then she needs to get out now. Why does she need some lying ass like you defending her? Is her case so week? All I have asked is some meat to fill out a very thin resume. Can’t be done, because there isn’t any. She is a shallow dillantante, supported by wishful thinking in the dem party.
This is a leftwing blog, so I talk about the left wing candidates. When this becomes a rightwing blog talking about REichert, then we can all talk about his qualifications. I’m sure goldy has some last minute smear he is working on, because even he knows that darcy is weak and can’t make it by playing it straight.
You can speculate all day who I am and where I fit in the political picture. If spending that much time thinking about me makes you happy, then I have spread some sunshine into this world.
Oh, I’m so confused. My head and my heart are pulling in opposite directions! What do I do?
I was raised to be a good girl. Do what you are told, be polite, wear lots of make up, and you will be rewarded. For years Libby Dole has been my role model, because she has been a great soldier – and has been rewarded in spades!
I’ve tried to be like Libby. You can see that in how I’ve participated in this blog. I really want to carry the water for the Republicans this year because their majority status is imperiled. And that’s why I’ve gotten rather snippy and manipulative.
But you know, I do feel sad. Because when I was in college a part of me did enjoy learning for the sake of learning; discussing big issues without getting angry at each other when we disagreed. For the first time I really understood what democracy was all about – the give and take of ideas; the sharing of who we are and where we stand. Oh, to walk away from those discussions feeling respected and respectful! I fondly remember those times.
That’s not what it’s like out there in the political trenches today. It’s open warfare. I complain about your lefties, but I have seen enough Republican game plans to know that our strategy has been to polarize, polarize, polarize. Truth be told, that’s my main “job” here.
I wish it weren’t so. Perhaps someday we can just be people and talk real.

Well, duh. You need look no further than Newt Gingrich or Ann Coulter, for example. Your leaders have declared war on liberals. They call us “commies,” “traitors,” “unpatriotic,” etc. You stand up and cheer when Coulter says liberals should be put in “concentration camps” and “executed,” and liberal judges should be fed “rat poison.” And you wonder why we’re mad at you?
Sheesh.
Das, you are a gullible fucking fool. The kool-aid salesmen told you liberals are wimps, we’d just roll over, let you wipe your feet on us. Guess what, they lied. Your side fucked with us, so we’re fucking with you. Get used to it, because it’s not going away any time soon. War is hell. Our peace terms are unconditional surrender, and we reserve the right to execute your leaders.

Well Janet, I’m not “Janet SS,” but I think you’ve earned the parody you’re now getting by posting nonsensical pap like this.
Tell me something, Janet Stupid, what “meat” was there on Dino Rossi’s resume? A year ago, you relentlessly shilled for a guy whose resume is a napkin. And you wonder why someone posting here thinks you’re a partisan whore, and is mocking you? You’re a lightweight, Janet — a bimbo, an airhead. You’re not even good at whoring.

You flatter yourself. No speculation is necessary.
What has Reichert done in Congress besides rubberstamping the extremist rightwing CHEAP LABOR agenda?
Janet S is a piece of crinkled tinfoil whose only function is to reflects sound waves from the neocon noise machine. She’s not even a good fuck.
You could back an 18-wheeler between her legs and she wouldn’t even know she’s being laid.

“The increasing privatization of Australia’s health-care system has not meant a better bang for our buck,” said Dr. Jim Maher of the University of New England in New South Wales. “Instead, it has led to increasing complexity, higher costs and a two-tiered health system. The more we privatize, the deeper citizens have to dig into their own pockets.”
“What is remarkable,” said Dr. Patrick Dubreil, “is that two countries that are continents apart are seeing the same negative outcomes of privatization. Increasingly in France we have a health-care system that financially punishes the sick, particularly those with limited income.”
In 2002, 11.2 per cent of the French adult population reported they couldn’t get health care for financial reasons. French doctors are becoming big businessmen, Dr. Dubreil continued. Many now exact fat additional fees beyond a patient’s private insurance.
In Australia, which also has an official two-tier system, the cost of private health insurance is climbing by up to 20 per cent per year. Yet, just as in France, many private hospitals and doctors still impose additional “substantial” fees,” Dr. Maher said.
This probably won’t get read this late in the game for this post but I have one or two issues with the premise of the thread.
Aren’t you completely ignoring all of the authors who say the same things about conservatives? Or Bush? I have read Democrate Underground. Kos. Huggington. Even some of the posts on your site and I don’t believe you have a leg to stand on regarding this issue.
I have seen people call for assisinations, sabotage, etc. Watched your ilk line up at funerals and lambast grieving parents of servicemen killed in action.
Watched you all pine for freedom of choice for abortions yet try to sue store owners for expressing their freedom of choice by not offering the “abortion pill”.
This rant about Coulter is the old addage of the pot calling the kettle black. And if you can’t see the parallels you have truly blinded yourself to any type of fairness of thought.
Stow it, Sound Crossin. “Tell it to the Marines!”
Roger – you are nothing but a bitter old man. I feel sorry for you.
At least Rossi was elected to office before running for governor. He had been proven in the public square. Darcy has nothing. We know nothing about her, because there is nothing to know. She can’t even handle the pressure of msft, so how will she do it in DC?
@ 126
Pretty much what I would expect. Not any rebuttal, dialogue, etc. Just shut up.
I like Coulter sometimes and don’t like her at other times. Haven’t read the book so can only comment on the BS I read in this thread. I did however see Bowling for Columbine and then did my due dilligance and researched what passed for “facts” in that work of fiction. Of course a great many of the items in that film were totally discredited, if not factually than for the errors in their context. Those errors completely obscuring the actual factual basis.
I don’t see that in this thread about Coulter’s book or in general. I see alot of crying about her calling people names or “being mean” to them but not a lot of rebuttal. I see a lot of name calling but come on … tear the book apart item by item or else do the right thing and withhold your assinine comments.

How long do you think an American with no health insurance has to wait? “Forever” comes to mind. So does the phrase “eternal rest.”

The only thing Rossi accomplished during 6 years in the legislature was taking health care away from 46,000 kids.
As a private citizen, he was a slimy real estate huckster who worked for a felon who literally stole from widows and orphans.
It’s not hard to figure out what a Governor Rossi would be like. He’d give our state away to developers, and he’d be the most corrupt governor in state history.

“Roger – you are nothing but a bitter old man.”
Yeah, but at least I know that when somebody’s trying to drive an 18-wheeler up my ass, he’s trying to fuck me.

Got two questions for you, wingfuck.
1. Have you sent $99 to http://www.operation-helmet.org/ to buy a helmet upgrade kit for a soldier deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq?
2. If not — why aren’t you supporting the troops?
I did.
@129
Sorry don’t support the “Gay Haters” as you say. I actually support the same and equal rights for homosexual people. I am one of those people who, even though I consider myself a Christian I believe in your right to chose your own path. I would never force it down somebodies throat or expect them to conform to my beliefs. One of the reasons I speak out against that “Pastor” who shows up places with the gay hating signs. Nice try at a re-direct though.
Roger – this is just a hint from someone, a voice not in your head: just calling folks who disagree with you whores and fuckers is not exactly a victory for rationality, good argument or good manners; that you think so and celebrate yourself wildly indicates a definite strain of mental imbalance;
Your claim to the right to execute our leaders confirms that mental scramble. Now you are in death threat territory, Roger? For FBI purposes do you want to get explicit about who those leaders are that you have a right to execute?
134
You missed my point. You portrayed those people as liberals. They’re not — they’re rightwing freaks. Here — is this direct enough for you? — you’re a fucking liar.
135
Gee D’Ass, you’ve noticed that I behave like REPUBLICANS?
D’Ass … question for ya, good buddy? Why should Republicans have a monopoly on irrationality and incivility? Isn’t there enough bad manners in this world for everyone to have some? What’s with you guys and your unwillingness to share? You creeps want a monopoly on every fucking thing.
D’Ass, tell you what. When rightwing turdfucks stop calling liberals “commies,” “traitors,” “unpatriotic,” etc., I’ll stop calling rightwing turdfucks by their right name and, um, figure out some way to fib about what they are.
D’Ass … how do you feel about Bush’s CUT AND RUN policy in Iraq? What do you think of giving AMNESTY to insurgents who killed Americans? When are you gonna figure out the GOP would sell YOU down the river in a heartbeat? They respect nothing, and they respect nobody. Least of all a shmuck nobody like you.

Let’s recap. “soundcrossing” posted @125: “Watched your ilk line up at funerals and lambast grieving parents of servicemen killed in action.”
I called BULLSHIT on this LIE. The entire country knows these protests are the handiwork of Rev. Fred Phelps and his cult of inbred morons (most of whom are related to him by bigamy or incestuous fornication), who are RIGHT WING NUTS.
So, I accurately call “soundcrossing” a fucking liar, which is exactly what he is, and now “soundcrossing” responds with blubbering, crying, and whining.
boo hoo hoo
boo hoo hoo
fucking crybaby
Hey soundcrossing, how do you feel about those RIGHTWING ASSHOLES who harass the families of soldiers killed in Iraq at their funerals? Wanna KILL ’em? Go right ahead — you have my permission. Twenty less RIGHTWING MUTANTS in this country will be a good thing for everyone.
Oh, and before I forget, “soundcrossing” is a fucking liar, and a fucking crybaby too. He’s also a wimp who gets pushed around by an 11 1/8th-lb. rabbit.
Now watch “soundcrossing” blubber and splutter and bawl some more, just because I painted his true colors on him.
@146 and wherever
And yet again. The “gay haters” don’t support and not sure where you got that. Was pretty clear about it too, but then you aren’t one to see that. Phelps is a complete idiot, I’ve done my research. His little clan that shows up with those signs are his family. That is his “Church”. Most of you won’t know that because your fucking media calls it a “Church” instead of “some whacko and his whacko family.” So there you have it. Way to smoke that MSM rope wabbit. Still want to hear about your explanation about the dickheads that want to protest/celebrate at our soldiers funerals.
And once again ,,, nice re-direct. That’s a good lib tactic. Don’t answer a question just go on the attack in a different direction. Change the focus. Spew a boatload of irrelevancies and instead of waiting for a response or a rebuttal move onto something different and attack again.
The thing is most of us Christians abhore Phelps and what he stands for. You’d never hear that though either. That wouldn’t be portraying the meidia’s stereotype of Christians. Or yours for that matter.
Tote that line wabbit. Tote it hard and tote it proud. Show us you know how to regurgitate democratunderground talking points. I’m thinking that ol’ wabbit is actually a bigot. Look up the definition.
interesting tht Roger thinks we shocked by his profanity when in reality we are shocked by his belief that his profanity is somehow effective…
It is hard to imagine the smallness of the warren rabbit dwells in…where fetor rules…
Read and re-read the posts. Wabbit you are just plain missing. It’s obvious you aren’t paying one iota of attention. You are picking one point that you’ve heard some sort of rebuttal for either in these threads or one of the less reputable sites or Air Amerika and spewing that. Took me a while to figure out your game. Shame on me.
