I would consider it an honor to be included on bully-boy-billy's blacklist and I will (non)politely querry him each and every day via a FOX (quasi)news e-mail to his vitrolic, bloviated program until it is posted or he comes up with some lame excuse for not doing so. The url is oreilly@foxnews.com which does not require premium subscription. Yes, it is a small and perhaps petty endeavor but sometimes ya gots to do what ya gots to do. ;)
All pissed-off about a cartoon? What else would you expect from people who: throw shoes at each other as insults; covet not one but 72 virgins in allah's heaven for commiting murder; throw rocks at a gunfight; mutilate women's vaginas (how can they do that to something so incredibly beatiful and pleasurable?); wear long, heavy, black dresses in 130 degree heat (now how stooopid is that?); have no senese of humor whatsoever; and, don't eat pork because some long-dead infidel freak/priest said - "ooooooh, pig bad, no eat or go to hell and suffer an eternity of having shoes thrown at you." Pathetic! Normally, I like to think of myself as an opened minded, free thinking person, but this shit infuriates me! Not to single any one religion out - the people pushing inteligent design infuriate me too - Pat Robertson and his ilk. My only wish is that all religious zealots find themselves in one great big communal "heaven" with only one, buck-toothed virgin eunich for the whole lot to fight over. Now that would be funny - although a virgin camel would be pretty funny too.

ROTFLMFAO! Then don't read/look at them, stoooopid. ;)
...and threatening to kill people because of a cartoon is what?; admirable; appropriate; acceptable? Personally I find your post sophmoric and insulting! So there, stick that in your shoe and throw it!!!

Mr. Domenech resigned only momments ago - too bad, it was too much fun reading all of the comments over at WaPo.com. Now the movement is to get Herr Brady to resign for being the imcompetent boob that he is. Well, we can always hope...

Ben Domenech Resigns
"In the past 24 hours, we learned of allegations that Ben Domenech plagiarized material that appeared under his byline in various publications prior to washingtonpost.com contracting with him to write a blog that launched Tuesday.
"An investigation into these allegations was ongoing, and in the interim, Domenech has resigned, effective immediately.
"When we hired Domenech, we were not aware of any allegations that he had plagiarized any of his past writings. In any cases where allegations such as these are made, we will continue to investigate those charges thoroughly in order to maintain our journalistic integrity.
"Plagiarism is perhaps the most serious offense that a writer can commit or be accused of. Washingtonpost.com will do everything in its power to verify that its news and opinion content is sourced completely and accurately at all times.
"We appreciate the speed and thoroughness with which our readers and media outlets surfaced these allegations. Despite the turn this has taken, we believe this event, among other things, testifies to the positive and powerful role that the Internet can play in the the practice of journalism.
"We also remain committed to representing a broad spectrum of ideas and ideologies in our Opinions area.
Jim Brady
Executive Editor, washingtonpost.com"
since this was posted there have been some 375 commnets with many of them wondering aloud: why was this chacter not vetted?, and when will Jim Brady be joining RedHasBen and resign himself.

Colbert was great. Still is and always will be!!! but there's a new Colbertgate brewing over at the WaPO with Will Arkin saying the same thing about that bully ex-CIA analyst being rude and so on and so for to the Sec of Defense Rummy - the liar Sec of Defense Rummy, that is. Under the heading "Rumsfeld Didn't Lie, But He Should Still Go," Arkin goes on to berate the angry libruhl as shrill, (insert your favorite adjective here), and unfair. Didn't count the comments but there are many and very (very) few in defense of Arkin's drivel. What I don't understand is why does Arkin hate America?
Colbert may well have galvanized the "angry liberal" and it's about godamned time - from the responses to Arkin, I have a very strong sense that it's only just begun...

Robert Stafford, you ignorant slut! “...poor taste to hurl nasty insults at someone whom is already making fun of himself.” Fuck That and Fuck You!!! That sonofabitch in the WH is responsoible for my friends, family and neighbors dieing in Iraq because of his incompetence and lies.
And as far as how I “SHOULD act” - it’s none of your fucking business! And “resentment of the Islamo-fascists” has nothing to do with Colbert’s bravery, no matter how hard you try to twist and spin as is your ilks wont. However, the Republico-fascists are an entirely different subject, and Stephen Colbert skewered their tiny little dicks to the wall last Saturday night and people like you just can’t stand it so you whine like the little brat-babies that you are! Grow up, you tiny-little-dick Republico-fascist and accept the fact that you sonsobitches are getting the “what-goes-around-comes-around” paradigm and it’s about fucking time. What is a shame is that you consider yourself a human being! Left-wing cheerleaders rule! Remember that come November, tiny-dick.
