Original article: Oligarchical decay

Are you with us or against us, shooter242?

Apparently there are some that think slip and fall lawyers can do no wrong.

So you are with those who make flawed products that harm us and our children.

So you are against those who seek justice for those injured through no fault of their own.

You are with the enemy of all things decent. May you rot with them.

Responsibility for the resident troll, shooter242.

Who let that idiot in here? I predict no one will take responsibility for that. --Anonymous

Ultimately it's his parents responsibility for him being here and saying these things, given (a) they gave birth to him and (b) presumably instilled such depressingly common and morally reprehensible values in him.

But then again, we've no evidence 'he' is anything more than a slightly evolved cockroach. The critique still applies, but we can add simple genetics to the mix.

The 'impressive' Bloomberg

It's impressive. --shooter242

Perhaps to a sociopath without morals, or a groupie without a brain.

To the rest of us - especially we residents of NYC - the man is worth less than a carton of cigarettes and a sharp piece of metal inside the Big House.

The final outrage of shooter242

Leaving aside the argument over whether Plame was covert, the actual publicists (Novak, Armitage) of her affiliation with the CIA were never charged with anything. So it WAS OK to name her in that circumstance.

Mrs. Wilson's covert status was never in question. The circumstances of her NOC getting blown by Novak are well documented and by any rational measure amount to treason.

It is NOT fine to destroy evidence, or commit perjury. Berger did both, eventually pleaded guilty to a reduced charge, and got probation. What I'm asking for here is equal treatment in sentencing if someone is found guilty of the same acts.

Agree with the fist sentence, disagree with the second, agree with the third. The fact you cannot comprehend your error marks you as beyond the pale.

But since IOKIYAD, I doubt that will happen. It will be interesting to see someone spin equal treatment as unfair.

You are in no position to debate 'fairness' any longer. You have been corrected time and again, yet persist in spewing your bile.

You have thrown your lot in with those who wish only harm to our country and our way of life.

Rot with them.

Get your fuses checked, "Proximity Warning"

'Scare and tactics and fearing mongering'? This from the guy who spends his time trying to convince her naif readers that America is in the midst of a fascist takeover?

Myopia like your is what saddled us with Bush43 and Blair. And its 'authoritarian takeover', not fascist. Do try to keep the ideologies right.

I'll leave your faux outrage over people's 'racism' to stew within your toxic mind. Neither it nor you are worth the time.

So Glenn manufacted those responses, Thrasher?

Glenn is deliberately fanning a fictional game of "here comes the niggers siren) and outside of this very limited window it has no buzz or thrust..

No 'fanning' required, or weren't you paying attention to the article?

Saturday, January 5, 2008 05:41 PM

Proximity Warning has a dud fuse.

That's quite a list Jim.

Do you dispute any of it?

If not, what is your problem here?

The lack of standards of Proximity Warning

I only answer questions from those posters who are rational.

Much like Fox will employ only 'serious' journalists, I'll wager.

Saturday, January 5, 2008 08:45 PM

I begin to see your point, Thrasher.

Dirks: A white man living in the west indies should request my consent to be spoken to given the carnage you folks have caused in that region of the world now run along and go work on your tan...

-- Thrasher

You realize you're reducing the discourse here down to a distinctly tribalistic mentality, right? By those lights I, as a white man living in a predominantly black section of Brooklyn, should constantly fear for my life and that of my six year-old mixed-race son, yes?

Or is your grievance here really with Glenn for bringing out how our collective opposite numbers simply look at blacks as animals worthy of being put down and nothing more?

Sunday, January 6, 2008 08:39 AM

Re-read the original post, Thrasher.

2. Perhaps it was because I dared to suggest Glenn was a carrier of negativity instead of giving us a "heads up" with regard to the"social unraveling" by Blacks that we were going unleashed( I was wondering when was the last time Glenn interacted with many Blacks he surely would have known such myths/tales of "social unraveling" are nothing new)

You will not if Goldberg and Reynolds who are issuing this 'warning'. Its utter bunk of course and meant to incite and inflame the worst instincts.

Given how quickly you jumped on it and attacked the messenger, I guess they weren't far wrong there.

Monday, January 7, 2008 07:19 AM

You brought this on yourself, Proximity Warning.

sturdying myself a dose of economic illiteracy from that geek Krugman

And how, pray, is a sober and factual look at the enemic unemployment figures of the day an example of Dr. Krugman's "economic illiteracy"? Indeed, when and how has Krugman's economic analysis ever been off or anything but clear-headed.

Or are you simply one of the sort who will hear only 'happy talk' and ignore everything else?

I don't expect you to have the piles to actually respond, but do feel free to surprise me, lad.

The Tragic Legacy, Revisited.

This will be the defining legacy of the Administration of George W Bush: the complete and utter destruction of trust.

Our trust in our government.

Our trust in our institutions.

The trust of our fellow nations in our actions.

All lost, likely not to be regained in full measure in our lifetime.

Thank you for reassuring me, shooter242

In real life, any issue isn't settled until one side capitulates, which makes capitulating on the cusp of progress look pathetically flawed.

And here I was almost convinced you'd either (a) grown a set or (b) were actually starting to acknowledge objective reality.

Clearly you haven't and you can't. Reassuring to know things haven't changed.
