Trust the people ...

Practice saying: President Sarah Palin.

Even though it hurts to admit, a lot of people really like her, and people generally choose their candidate under the influence of nonrational motives.

We should rape only nonhuman animals!

And then we should kill them for food. Or, perhaps to be more humane, we should kill them first, then rape them, then eat them. Fuck 'em! God should not have made them so fucking delicious! Fucking sexy nonhuman bastards!

Not you, asshole

It seems so many of the regular Salon letter writers are assholes. Why? I feel the need to somehow absolve myself after making this one observation. But you folks who are such utter assholes on a regular basis ...? What's the point? Jesus fucking christ on a flaming dildo it just seems such a useless endeavor. You go through life just trying to make people pissed off without contributing anything of real value. On a flaming dildo.

Oh well, I'm not taking about you, asshole. I'm taking about some other asshole.

Seacrest out!

Original article: Class warfare? Bring it on

Code: 'class warfare' = 'Marxist agitation'

This is standard for right wing intellectuals (real and pseudo). It goes hand in hand with the charge of 'redistributing the wealth'.

Marx argued that class struggle would inevitably occur. However, there would never be a revolution if the proletariat remain mired in false consciousness. Intellectuals, like Obama, could inspire them, however. They have nothing to lose ... but their chains.

I can't believe ...

... I read the "article", watched the clip, and then read most of the letters. I teach logic and debate to college students. That show and its resultant effluvia was worse than sitting through two of my "C" freshmen arguing about whether Yahweh, world famous Hebrew sky-god, favors men hooking up or not. Pathetic.

A pox on both your houses! If I never see or hear about either of those skanks it will be way too soon. God bless Amerikkka!

Peace out, fools!

Original article: Whitewashing Roman Polanski

@IronOxide -- Consent is irrelevant

In a case of statutory rape, it is irrelevant whether the victim consented or not. In her testimony the victim admits that she eventually gave in after repeatedly saying "no" because she realized he wasn't going to give up. However, even if she had said "yes" all the way, he would still be guilty of the exact same crimes -- though he pled guilty only to unlawful sexual relations with a minor.

Original article: Whitewashing Roman Polanski

@bluefellow: Kinski and Polanski

Kinski and Polanski had an "affair" prior to the criminal charges, when Kinski was 15 years old and Polanski was 43.

Original article: Let's beat up on the Oscars

Brad Pitt ...

... should have been nominated Best Supporting Actor (with XY chromosomes) for Burn After Reading. "Osbourne Cox? I thought you might be worried ... about the security ... of your shit." Freaking hilarious! Watch it again and again.

@Groenhagen, while your looking things up ...

I suggest, with all due respect, that you look up ad hominem. Generally speaking, throwing around schoolyard insults does nothing to convince people who prefer rational argument.

However, as Plato (another lisping sissy faggot?) noted long ago, the many are not swayed by reason, but by rhetoric and emotion.

From a left-leaning libertarian ...

Having a prayer or other incantation at such public rituals comes close to violating the first amendment -- if the event is funded by tax money.

As for Christian-hating leftists -- many of my best friends, close acquaintances and respected colleagues are Christians, some very devout. I hate the sin and love the sinner ... the sin in this case being a superstituous worldview in which subjective emotions are projected upon a universe that doesn't care.

But, take heart, O ye of rational faith: the universe doesn't NOT care either! It's indifferent and therefore unbiased. Unlike us.

Original article: Eye for an eye, literally

Lex talionis: eye for an eye

The relevant Biblical passage is intended as a retraint on just punishment, a belief also expressed in the ancient Code of Hammurabi.

But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise (Exodus 21:23-25 [NIV]).

For more on the topic, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_talionis.

Original article: Obama surfs through

Seen any good movies lately?

Just asking. Really. Oh, and by the way, OBAMA AYERS PALIN MOOSE KILLER CLINTON BLOWJOB BUSH DOA!

Thomas Jefferson ...

... did not believe that Jesus of Nazareth was a god. That's one so far.

Original article: No country for human beings

Why don't some movies work?

A few years back, the Coens made "Intolerable Cruelty," which, despite a decent cast, just did not come off. "Hudsucker Proxy" was much better, but I've never wanted to rewatch it either. With all due respect to others, I don't think I need to give either of these films another chance. There was another they did with Tom Hanks that to me just looked too bad to see. All of their other films I've watched more than once. Some I could watch over and over.

Sometimes great filmmakers make mediocre films. Who knows why? But I will see this one, and am looking forward to it.

Crafty move by the GOP!

The only way to really prove that one is Pro-Life is by actually refraining from terminating an UNWANTED PREGNANCY. Nonaborting a fetus you desire proves nothing. So, I see Rove all over this one, folks (not literally - eww, gross!)

Michelle Obama should get pregnant very quickly, say the pregnancy was unplanned, and NONABORT THE UNBORN FETAL BABY!

We need to start nonaborting Democrats!

More abortions!

No one has the guts to say it! Population control: More birth control, more abortions! Just do it!
