Original article: Counter-terrorism logic

@Tim from Chicago: How can Glennn have such distaste for Tommy Daschled, and, at the same time, loerve Moyers like crazy?

Both of them employ the same stunt: Each of them tries to sound and act like a sweet, soft spoken, moderate choir boy, but, when you listen to what they say, both are full of hate and venom toward anyone who disagrees with their clueless rubbish. They smile and look real sweet. But there he is, getting rich on PBS, on the taxpayers' dime, pretending he's a journalist. Himmler was a journalist too, So was Tokyo Rose,

Both are nasty: I think Daschled coined the term, "meanspirited Republican," so, as if on cue, all Democrat politicians referred to Rebublicans, yes, as MSR's. Moyers likened people who wear flag pins to crazed Chinese young adults waving their little red books and glorifying the mass murderer, Mao Zedung.

Both of them are rich hypocrites: they have gotten rich at the public trough while decrying rich people. Both pretend to be moderate centrists, while each is the worst kind of partisan. Moyers was #2 at the Peace Corps in the early 60's when The Peace Corps warned volunteers and trainees not to go on MLK's March On Washington, and now Moyers parades around like he has always been the best white friend black people have ever had.

So if you like snarky, self-righteous and very short pip squeak liberals, you should really loerve BOTH of these pathetic midgets.

And, @Tim from Chicago: Are you a good Catholic liberal because you got a job at Streets and San, and dat's how you got da job? Or did you get it because you know the alderman real good? Lots of guys and even gals got their job like dat, ya know. All's you gotta do is knock on doors at election time, vote a couple times yourself, and hold da oldsters' hands at da nursing home polls to make sure dey vote da right way, right?

It's jus' a shame, ain't it some newspaper reporters didn't have nothing better to do than follow lots of Streets and San people around, and tape them as they punch in, just sit in their trucks for hours at a time, and then go back to the yard and punch out after exactly eight hours. Some of 'em even went home for a couple hours each day, before going back to da yard and punching out after exactly eight hours.

Is this why you like dat "Stimeylouse" Package -- lot's more dough going to da state and county to distribute among alla da hard woykin' employees is very good for da ekonomy, doncha think? You know, some people gotta disagree with preserving all the sleep walking jobs at your shop and at the DMV, while there are real people who are willing to take even entry level jobs at WalMart and McDonald's. So, whaddaya think's gonna happen when and if da unions get their payback for the tens of millions of bucks they contribute, and dis funky card check goes through? Do you think those high school kids will be able to keep their after school and weekend jobs there? If you do, I got news for you.

And whaddaya think about them giving Milwaukee close to a hundred million bucks to build some new schools when MIlwaukee's already got at least 7 empty schools? I guess those geniuses in Washington never been to Milwaukee, cause if you go to Milwaukee you gotta see that nobody wants to live in Milwaukee anymore, for some very good reasons, I think.

And, look here, Tim, It ain't my fault Glennn don't enklude no spell check automatically like on this here stalin.com saloon, is it?

And, yes, It is nice anyone, even me, can come here and post, but I pay for the service just like I pay for my New York Times so I can see what all the truly hip and truly brilliant sozializts are thinkin' these days.

But I can also post over at "Contentions" and even for free. They just suggest a contribution, dat's all, and they even got Glennn's estranged father over there, Abe Greenwald.
