Heru-ur, and there you'll stay!

"We can not bring back to life the victims of slavery or the victims of Jim Crow; nor can we dig up the rotten judges and others who enforced this horrible discrimination.

So, when two babies are born in your town tonight --- work to make sure that the government and the law never discriminates on the basis of genetics, sex, or other physical characteristic.

Wow! Did you used to write specches for Martin Luther King Jr.?

Shorter heru-ur: We freed the slaves 150 years ago, what are those people complaining about now?

And I would really like you to tell us what you mean by a difference in "genetics". Are you trying to say there is a definable "genetic" difference between the races?

@London Lad

Thanks for responding. I had to go to sleep, but I caught up with your response this morning.

@Jmorgan

Psst, Morgy. Look, let me save you a little embarrassment. I don't know too much about Glen Greenwald, but I do know that he does not feel a burning desire to do things for American "liberals". Again, I could be wrong, but I think his interest is in aspects of Constitutional legality and patriotism, not promulgating liberalism on the Supreme Court.

You might ask yourself where you got the idea that promoting liberals was Glen's raison d'etre.

Too clever by half-ass

"What if, after reading her decisions, Glenn comes to the conclusion that Sotomayor is a bleeping nightmare for liberals, but heading off the movement to confirm her is impossible because the momentum that began weeks earlier (with columns like Rosen's, fair or not) was stopped dead in its tracks?"

Wow! Obama isn't the only one playing multi-dimensional chess! So Rosen made an attack on Sotomayor from the right, but he was really doiong it from the left!

I gues we'll never know if it's a case of political dyslexia or political myopia.

"Actually, I'm not sure Salon has any audience."

Salon seems to be doing pretty good with you. Can't seem to get rid of you. But what the hell, a hit's a hit!

"The sources weren't anonymous to Rosen,"

So you're saying Rosen is a liar? Well, I can't accept that. I know Rosen, he's a good boy frum to the tips of his peyas and he wouldn't lie. He had no fucking idea who said those things! He just picked up his phone, and a voice (which sounded like they were speaking into a paper bag) said: "Rosen, I can't tell you my name, cause the liberals are after me, but Sonia Sotomayor is a dummy and a real bi..." and then there was a click, and the line went dead. What else could Rosen do.

Or was Rosen lying?

That is so going to become my new favorite tag-line! "The sources weren't anonymous to him!" Can't wait til Greenwald or any of those liberal weenies complain about journalists abusing anonymous sourcing again, like they do all the time. I'll just hit 'em with "But those sources weren't anonymous to him!" That'll show 'em!

@Renal Failure

I normally avoid communicating with people for whom being crude is regarded as a clever argument

Please, start now, okay? And perhaps it's for the best. A crude rough man like me could damage a delicate creature like you, huh?

Look, if you haven't got a hanky to clutch and a couch to faint on, give me a call, I'll set you right up.

Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:22 PM

Really, now!

"I'm demonstrating to the non-liberal audience, who can probably read for themselves...

And if they could actually type, why, they would all write in to support you! Or if their hands weren't busy elsewhere. You don't get "honorary gay" status by saving yourself for the man you marry, fella.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a tremendous "non-liberal" audience out there, hanging on your every word. And they would surely tell us liberals off, if the damned registration process weren't so complicated (You have to click twice and fill out your pseudonym)

@greglondon

Don't worry, Greg. The good conservatives on the Court would never, ever, go for "preventive detention". Never! Conservatives love freedom! Go Wolverines!

@renascent

"Inadvertant"? You might want to look that word up. You put my name at the top of the post. That's your definition of "inadvertant"?

Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:12 PM

That's how the confessed gays talk to me

I'll take a "confessed gay" any day over a confused "honorary gay" What was the ceremony like? No, wait, maybe I don't want to know how one becomes an "honorary gay"

Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:09 PM

Derbig, if I reposted it, the nutcases on here would accuse me of making it up

No, all you have to do is indicate what page of your archive it's on. You don't even have to re-post it. Not that you would know how.

Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:06 PM

"We are dealing with a bunch of pansies here."

Is that any way for an "honorary gay" to talk?

Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:04 PM

@Renal Scent

You've got views? Well, I suppose your view is cheaper than a MRI. Duodenum look alright? No polyps in the colon or nothin?

Yeah, for self-examination, your views have certain advantages.

Thursday, May 28, 2009 09:59 PM

"I'm not going to repost it..."

cause I'm not sure how I can fit the whole post in that little box, and I don't want to re-type the whole thing!

You are doing yourself proud tonite, son. Your family must be proud of you. Well, they can always find a neighbor or kid down the street to read it to them.

@renascent

(God I wish our education system hadn't been corrupted and eviscerated.)

I'm, not sure if it's as bad as you say, but they sure didn't do much for you. In any department. And BTW, you seem to have a bad case of logical dyslexia. You get everything bass-ackword.

@Jebbie

I think you are right. Maybe I should send in that 30-40 bucks, it's not much, and I fell guilty getting this many laughs for free.
