I think we should take up a collection for Rush Limbaugh so he can afford an American prostitute and pay for his own Viagra. The poor sonofabitch had to get a cutrate prostitute in the Dominican Republic and borrow someone else’s Viagra. When Rush is feeling randy, he really shouldn’t have to leave the country.
Do you supporters and sympathizers of Islamofacism feel good about today’s Supreme Court decision about Gitmo? Do you feel safer? Would you like to see them all turned loose? How ’bout they take up residence with Cindy Sheehan? Or maybe some of you moonbats who support them.
Retarded@3 Why do you Hate the Constition? Why do you fear the rule of law?. DOES IT HURT TO BE THAT STUPID?
I think you’ve expressed your support for islamoterrorists before. Thanks for repeating it…
Mark,
With all due respect, fuck you. Gerald Ford appointed John Paul Stevens, who wrote the decision. Ronald Reagan appointed Anthony Kennedy, who gave the majority a fifth vote. We’re not talking leftists here, we’re talking old white men who happen to respect the rule of law. You don’t. I do believe we are safer because of the decision because when the rule of law prevails, so does civilized society.
Retarded@5 You are a traitorous lying sack. You SHAME the United States, it’s flag, and every person who ever supported the Constitution. Mark, do us all a favor and
DO THE RIGHT THING. . . .join your ex-wife.
To Mark the Thieving Redneck, the Constitution is is just a goddamn piece of paper.
He does get a little aroused by the word “tit” in “constituiton”.
But, his arousal turns downright prurient by the word “con” in “constitution.”
If Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo is after McSafeco already…he’s in deep doo doo.

Hey moonbat morons:
Barack Obama says you liberals need to add God to your language so you can court evangelicals. I thought you all were the God-less party. Since Barack is the “rising star” we know Howard “My Favorite Book in the New Testament is Job” Dean will not pasturize him!!!
Good luck moonbats on converting people when you have gay marriage and abortion as part of your main plank!!! Ha Ha ha
Hey dumb jerk also known as dj, the Supremes said Congress can pass laws to give the President military tribunal powers. What part of the Geneva Convention applies to these people who don’t have a country on the battlefield?

i want all the terrorists released into your backyard Mark The Cowardly Redneck. Then I want to set up a video tape of you crying like a bitch begging for your life while they fuck your wife and kill your dog. How’s that?
In all seriousness, today’s Supreme Court ruling was a victory for true freedom-loving Americans. And it was an incredible blow to the cowardly draft-dodging George Bush’s attempt to overthrow our beloved Constitution. Baby Bush got a good old fashioned smack down today and I love it!

A good day for Mike McGavick … “right now, we can’t imagine ever viewing any other Democratic incumbent as more vulnerable than Cantwell.”
Asswipe you go on deluding yourself with bullshit and lies and keep teaching your kids to be Nazis – it won’t help Alaska’s Senatorial Candidate defeat Maria Cantwell.
And say hi to your daddy LimpDickLimbaugh while you’re at it.
MTR…Actually, if you read the ruling, it doesn’t say that we have to release anyone anytime soon. It just says that they are not subject to military tribuals (which can be changed very quickly by Congress) and that they are subject to Article 3 of the Geneva Convention (humane treatment). I really don’t see how that’s so bad, especially in light of world opinion. This war is as much a “hearts and minds” war as a military one.
Besides, Andrew Cochran thinks this decision is a good thing:
“The decision is actually a huge political gift to President Bush, and the detainees will not be released that easily. The President and GOP leaders will propose a bill to override the decision and keep the terrorists in jail until they are securely transferred to host countries for permanent punishment. The Administration and its allies will release plenty of information on the terrorist acts committed by the detainees for which they were detained…They will challenge the “judicial interference with national security” and challenge dissenting Congressmen and civil libertarians to either stand with the terrorists or the American people.”
Politically, this could be a good (if cynical) ploy on the White House’s part.

“The Administration and its allies will release plenty of information on the terrorist acts committed by the detainees for which they were detained…” Commentby Kyle Broflovski— 6/29/06@ 7:41 pm
Really?
If they have such information, why haven’t they already released it, to defend their heavily-criticized detention policies?
If they have such information, why have they released 150 of the 450 men held at Gitmo and repatriated them to their home countries, without filing any charges against them?
“They will challenge the “judicial interference with national security” and challenge dissenting Congressmen and civil libertarians to either stand with the terrorists or the American people.” Commentby Kyle Broflovski— 6/29/06@ 7:41 pm
Umm … Kyle … that’s exactly what they’ve been doing for the last three years. Did you sleep through that? How’s it working for you guys so far? (Last time I checked, public support for Bush’s Iraq policy had plunged from 70% in favor to 70% against.)
You don’t think through your comments before posting them, do you?
I wonder if it’s why my Pfizer stock went up another 1.57% today, giving me over 565% increase since I bought it …
Meanwhile, we don’t know what Viagra’s done for Rush Limbaugh, but we do know what Rush has done for Viagra. Now that Rush has been caught with it, Viagra sales are bound to soar.
Thanks Rush!

I read the second link, and thought it was hilarious! I LOVE to see wingfucks whine about liberal incivility! Good God, Daily Kos is way too mild for my taste. We should be stringing you fascist America-haters from trees! It’s about time liberals got some spine and start answering the hateful rantings of Ann Coulter (and the retards who applaud her) tit-for-tat. We’ve been way the hell too nice to you fascist fucks, and you mistakenly interpreted it as a sign of weakness. What we really need in this country is left-wing death squads.
Just kidding! ha-ha-ha Can’t you guys take a joke. Hey, if Ann Coulter can crack sick jokes about killing people, why can’t we? Why should Republicans have a monopoly on sick jokes? Republicans want a monopoly on every fucking thing.

“I was just wondering whose side y’all are on.” Commentby Mark The Redneck Kennedy— 6/29/06@ 8:04 pm
Memo to Mark: We’re on the side of America, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the rights of our citizens, truth, justice, decency, honesty, and fair play. You’re on the side of the lying, torturing, corrupt warmongers who think the Constitution is “a goddamned piece of paper” and make a mockery of our flag and all those who died defending it. You will go to Hell because you are an evil man who lived an evil life.
@33 If that’s the case, then Beano must be making you a mint. . . . . . .
Roger @ 26: I didn’t say I agreed with Cochran, I just pointed it out as a possible scenario to portray this as a “with us or against us” strategy. This administration hasn’t spun any bill as a “vote for this, or we’ll have to release these bad terrorists we already have” yet.
The polls on Iraq, quite frankly, have nothing to do with this issue, so why are you bringing it up? Do you really think that if a poll were conducted on people’s attitudes on the prisoners at Gitmo it would be anything but the majority saying “lock ’em and throw away the key”?
I was just wondering what y’all thought. In all honesty, you’ve made a lot of sense, and I’m beginning to think differently.
You know, our political system is built around the idea that no one has a lock on the truth. Republicans have good points, but so do Democrats. That’s why it is good when both have a chance to try out their ideas. Over the past few decades the Republicans have moderated some of the excesses of the New Deal and Great Society. Now it seems like it is time for the Democrats to clean up some of the problems left by the Reagan revolution.
I know that doesn’t fit with the simplistic views that I tend to offer, but I’m really trying to be more honest . . . and human.

If your PFE is up 565%, then you’ve been holding it since 1950. Anyone who bought Pfizer within the last 5 years has yet to break even on it. Shitty stock.
me @ 38: That’s Roger’s post at 32, sorry.
Bought it in 1994… along with Merck and a few other pharmaceuticals… all doing GREAT, tyvm.
No… 1991 sorry had just moved back to the NW…
Has anyone besides me noticed that little noLeftbrainandmissinghisLeftnut cuts and runs (and hides, evidently) wheneber he is challenged?
37
The problem with telling whoppers like that is the ease with which they’re debunked. After all, stock price charts are in the public domain.
PFE closed today at $23.24. Divide by 5.65 and you get $4.11. That’s what Ass paid for it, if he’s up 565% at today’s price. Now let’s consult the chart. Let’s see now …
The last time PFE was below $5 was in 1991. It hasn’t been below $10 since 1995, and it hasn’t been below $20 since 1997. So I guess you could say Ass is a “long term” investor.
Oh, and one more thing — PFE has been above $45 three times since 1998 … the best thing we can say for Ass is the fucking idiot doesn’t know when to sell! He sat on it while it lost half its value. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Kyle @26: “Politically, this could be a good (if cynical) ploy on the White House’s part.”
Kyle @38: “I didn’t say I agreed with Cochran”
Then what did you say?
Ass @43
See last paragraph of #45.

No problem, I’ve got his flank.
The righties are really taking an asswhipping this week. That means it’s a good week for real Americans.
RR@45 Said: “Oh, and one more thing – PFE has been above $45 three times since 1998 … the best thing we can say for Ass is the fucking idiot doesn’t know when to sell! He sat on it while it lost half its value. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”
ProudAss is a lying wingnut so you might say calling him an idiot is an oxymoron about a moron.
Ass … so tell me, how’s it feel to be sitting on a $23.24 stock that used to be a $48 stock just a few short years ago? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
50
Yeah, he’s a lying wingnut, but who knows maybe he bought 2 shares with his high school graduation gift certificate back in ’91.
Nope… I”m not a cut and run coward…I bought it for the long haul because of aging old farts, er, boomers like RR.. I don’t daytrade…I buy a litle more when its low, I relax and let my dividends work for me…
When somebody sits on a stock for 15 years, the most common reason is they don’t own enough shares to cover the selling commission.
Reminds me of a cereal box promotion when I was a kid. If you bought a box of Brand X cereal, you got a deed to one square inch of gold mine property in Alaska. If you sent them $1.25 plus 75 cents for shipping and handling, they would send you a small bag of “ore” (also known as “dirt”) from your “mine property.” There was a space on the form to write in your deed number. I assume that was so they could get the “ore” from the correct “mine.”
Ah, now comes the lameass, dissembling weasel after the idiotic brag. Ass you are a piece of work, right up there with Retarded Mark.
Click here for photo of Ass’s gold mine. (His mine is slightly to the right of the wheelbarrow and about six inches deep.)
http://1stclass.mylargescale.c.....Before.JPG
I said “square inch” — should be “cubic inch.” The deed gave you rights to one cubic inch of the mine, not one square inch of surface area.
Yeah, but in Ass’ case its pyrite not gold. . . .
I’m pretty sure the retail value of dirt is up at least 565% since Ass bought his stock.
He would’ve been smarter to buy a truckload of dirt.
With Limp-Dick’s celebrated flatulence, I’d’ve thought he would do better with Beano..
hey, I readily admit I’m not a fast and furious trader… I don’t care to be and am happy letting my shares multiply and grow through the magic of dividends…. I believe that’s called CONSERVATIVE investing…
If that little nugget keeps you amused… then it surely doesn’t take much… have at it…. I can take it.

36 – Rule of law. Shit. Remember who yer talkin to. When your boy Bubba was busy lying to a Grand Jury in an attempt to conceal a pattern of predatory behavior, all you wanted to do was Move On. Remember that? Fucking law didn’t matter then did it.
Fucking hypocrites…
Crawl back in to your cave, Retarded the adults are having a little fun here. . . . . .
You know…while you were busy mocking, you didn’t allow for STOCK SPLITS and the fact that the stock went up after each split… I believe mine has split 4x…
This rule of law issue does have to be held with a proper sense of proportion. A blowjob isn’t as big of an issue as undercutting the basic freedoms embedded in the Bill of Rights, and the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches.
I acknowledge that the the Bush administration has raised much more fundamental issues of constitutional law than Nixon, let alone Clinton.
See, I’m really trying to crawl outside the narrow box that I’ve been in. How am I doing?

Not true, Roger. My Dad has owned 3M stocks for decades…
I think you’ll agree, ass Google is a marvelous thing. . .for bailing your butt out!
Mark the Thieving Redneck,
“Shit. Remember who yer talkin to. When your boy Bubba was busy lying…”
Speaking of lying, Mark, didn’t you make a bet in which you promised to pay $100 to the campaign of Goldy’s choice if you lost? Didn’t you lose? So, that makes you a fucking liar, doesn’t it.
BTW: Are you going to make good on your bet so that we can have a real debate about global warming? I doubt you will…you are too much of a chicken-shit pussey….
Roger @ 46: I’m saying I think the scenario that Cochran paints is the most likely one and one that could very well work; however, the cynicism of such a ploy is what I don’t agree with. Again, I don’t see how complying with Article 3 of the Geneva Convention has a down side.
What the hell are you talking about frog? My Pfizer split 4x, Microsoft 8 (plus 1 extra cash dividend that I remember), Intel split a couple times (I wish it was doing better…) J&J split 2x, Merck a couple sionce I bought it… a couple others spun off subsidiaries which gave me share… I may be no Trump or Buffet, but I know HOW I’m doing and why…
Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.
What is called a high standard of living consists in considerable measure of arrangements for avoiding muscular energy, increasing sensual pleasure, and enhancing caloric intake beyond any conceivable nutritional requirement. Nonetheless, the belief that increased production is a worthy social goal is very nearly absolute.
A spirit of violence permeates the whole of our science, technology, economics. . . . It makes us think absurdities such as infinite growth in a finite environment were possible; that we could go on finding and burning as much oil every ten years as in all previous history; that science could cure the sickness of the environment; . . . that man’s future was one of little work and endless leisure; that man has moved from the age of scarcity into the age of plenty. Nothing could be further from the truth.
History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.
I’m optimistic about the future, but not about the future of this civilization. I’m optimistic about the civilization which will replace this one.
It isn’t that they can’t see the solution. It is that they can’t see the problem.
THOSE QUOTES IS STUPID AND BORING. I’M GONNA GO GET DRUNK.
The only time the right wing taliban GOP cares about rule of law is when the rules don’t apply to them. I’ve never seen a bigger set of crooks, cowards, cheats, liars and hypocrites.
Boo!
Throughout America’s adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among people and among nations. To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. Any failure traceable to arrogance, or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home and abroad.
Progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world. It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. We face a hostile ideology-global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method.
@82: Awk?! There’s a problem?
Not true, Roger. My Dad has owned 3M stocks for decades…
So, now we are going to sell more fighter jets to Pakistan, and refurbish even more. . .those were awfully expensive Indian Mangoes. . .

Moonbats, are you all the party of God? Barack Obama says you need to court Christians. How do you plan to do that? You all hate God:
In the Pledge of Allegiance
By Killing unborn Children
By Supporting Gay Marriage
In removing crosses from city, county, and state symbols

WARNING TO ALL RIGHT WINGERS – THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS FACTS – SINCE YOU ARE NOT USED TO DEALING WITH FACTS, YOU MAY WANT TO SKIP THIS POST!
—
Traffic to republican media DOWN!!!
Alexa.com — http://alexa.com — which is owned and operated by Amazon.com, tracks online usage for all Web sites, large and small. At Alexa.com, you can check a site’s activity up to the minute, or follow its trail back for many years.
At U.S. Politics Today, we thought it might be interesting to see how the right-wing media machine was doing. Not well, it turns out.
During the past three months, for instance, http://rushlimbaugh.com traffic ranking has declined 18 percent. He still huffs and puffs away daily on radio, but advertisers might want to double check the size of his audience. If the bottom has dropped out on him online, it likely has had a similar trend line with his radio show.
Even Fox News, that gold standard of right-wing media, is down 13 percent. Here are the numbers: http://www.alexa.com/data/deta.....oxnews.com
Ann Coulter is coining money by attacking widows and orphans — a new game for her since she’s run out of Democrats, living and dead, to defame and verbally pillage. You would think with all of the attention the promotion of her new book has given her would raise visitor numbers at her Web site, http://anncoulter.com. Nope. Traffic there is down 10 percent.
The audience chart reversal seems to be common across the entire right-wing side of the Internet viewing board. Billoreilly.com — http://billoreilly.com — has dropped 40 percent in the past three months. Townhall.com — http://townhall.com — that once popular center for right-wing news and commentary, has fallen by 24 percent. The Washington Times Web site is down by 27 percent. And Matt Drudge, once the hottest right-wing name in Internet sites? Alexa.com says http://drudgereport.com is down 21 percent.
Could it be that Internet users are getting tired of political sites in general? Maybe so. But http://moveon.org is up 13 percent in the same period.
President Bush’s fall from grace has been well documented by poll-after-poll. The unpopularity of Congress may not be at historic lows, but those 20-something level of support numbers can’t be comforting to those who manage things on Capitol Hill.
It seems logical that with enthusiasm draining from the right- wing movement that put the president and the current Congress in place, the media chorus that has lavished praise on them all these many years would be affected by the change in fortune.
hcybPtbaa @ 102,
I gather your entire rant is based on two principles:
1) Bush is the President, and therefore the Commander in Chief in time of war. He has the authority to suspend the Constitution if he feels it is necessary. The Supreme Court and the Congress should defer to his Judgment (This was basically what the right wing 4 (Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and earlier Roberts wrote in the Minority opinion)
2) He knows what the hell he is doing.
I have to tell you IMHO, even if #1 was true (doubtful, even if it was Clinton or Gore) #2 is bullsh-t. Bush is clueless and incompetent (technically, so is Republican Congress).
I cut him a lot of slack after the terror attack 5 1/2 years ago, but somewhere between the 1300 dead citizens (the Katrina Disaster) and the 2500+ dead soldiers (the Iraq quagmire) he blew it.
We can kill two birds with one stone here with the 500 chemical weapons shell discovered in Irq. . Have the DOD secure storage space in Berkeley and store all the found WMD for IRAQ there. The watermelon idiot “progressive” liberal Democrats will go berserk trying to figure out which is worse – the NIMBY factor, or the ‘’NANANANA I’m not listening, they don’t exist’’ mantra.
Tracking website hits is like tracking exit polls.
Nobody wins office with either.

What he caught lying about to a grand jury was getting a blowjob from a CONSENTING ADULT OF THE OPPOSITE SEX. Republicans, on the other hand, display a marked preference for getting blowjobs from CONSENTING ADULTS OF THE SAME SEX.
Speaking of hypocrites, here’s a little extra-credit reading for ya, Mark the Retard:

You don’t know how to read stock charts, do you? They factor in splits.

“I’m saying I think the scenario that Cochran paints is the most likely one”
and I’m saying it isn’t, because if the administration had anything on these guys they could use to portray them as terrorists, they would have done it by now. Instead, they’ve released hundreds of them. The only explanation for that is they’ve detained innocent people.

You’re absolutely right, Jack. There’s no substitute for rigged voting machines.

“Can anyone follow his punctuation and sentence structure?” Commentby Daniel Webster— 6/30/06@ 3:18 pm
No problem. Anyway you translate it, it means “Eyman is a lying sack of shit.”
Exhibit A
Why I vote for Dave:
He holds the values I do…
on abortion, [1]
on stem cells, [1]
on frivolous lawsuits, [2]
on tax cuts,
on homosexual “marriages” [3]
on faith matters [4]
on guns…

Exhibit B
Moonbats, are you all the party of God? Barack Obama says you need to court Christians. How do you plan to do that? You all hate God:
In the Pledge of Allegiance
By Killing unborn Children [1]
By Supporting Gay Marriage [3]
In removing crosses from city, county, and state symbols [4]
Through frivilous law suits by ACLU [2]
Through saying the founding fathers were diests [4]…

Interesting how that wingnut messasge always boils down to theocracy, isn’t it? Puttybrains is more honest than hcybPtbaA, his message adds two more holy writs — taxes and guns.

Ass, you forgot to mention he also holds the values you do …
on warmongering
on torturing
on killing
on wiretapping
on lying
on stealing

The dumb fuck can’t even spell “deists.” How the hell can you misspell a word with only two vowels? Even a monkey has a 50-50 chance of getting it right, but Puttybrains got it wrong. Typical.
Funny how leftists got upset about Plame, but don’t care about a REAL crisis in info-leaking when the New York Al-Times publishes an article about an anti-terror banking watch program which clearly HURTS americans (unlike the lame Plame thing) when made public. NY Times and L.A. Times are certainly coming to see that they screwed up.
Nobody cared about that story, yet we could all see that we were hurt by its revelation.
