Please.

Dkos, along with Huffpo, have been strident in their protection of the "establishment" Dems since '07. I mean, they've been busy rationalizing the Gates re-appointment for a week now.

Today, Kos is against Caroline Kennedy being appointed to Senator for NY (and good for him). But wait a week, after Paterson names her as the "heir" to the seat. It will take him all of about 2 seconds to jump aboard.

Silly question though - where the hell has Sweet Caroline been the last eight years?

But nevermind. She's a Kennedy, a Dem and soon will need some "grassroots" support for her re-election bid in 2012. Everyone please send in 10, 20 or 100 bucks to help her campaign - "we'll need her support so that we can get the troops out of Iraq by 2015."

You say tomatoe, I say tomato!

So Reyes doesn't know the difference between Shiites and Sunnis. Is that important nowadays? The Iraq War ended on May 1, 2003, hadn't you heard? The more important War on Christmas is raging and the atheists are trying to destroy Christianity.

Reyes owns a Bible and probably has one of the largest Christmas trees in town at his Georgetown apartment. That, and the fact his district is near the Mexican border, are all the qualifications one needs in current times to chair an important Congressional committee.

Get with the program Jim

Tits and ass really, really bad; Bombs and torture super-duper cool.

Gotcha!

This is what happens in a culture that educates its young that Columbus was trying to prove the world wasn't flat.

That God-fearing uber-moral Pilgrims were kind to the savage Indians. That George Washington never told a lie. That Lincoln walked 10 miles through snow and mud just to go to school everyday. That America alone rescued Europe from Nazi rule. And that Gerald Ford just had to pardon Nixon or else the country would collapse like a house of cards.

The accepted conventional wisdom of the American Experience is a myth written by wealthy drunks who just happen to know "the right people."

For further examples see: Alan "The Maestro" Greenspan, Bernie Madoff, W's All-Star Foreign Policy Team, The Meese Commission, Robert "CitiCorpse" Rubin, Tim Russert, etc.

Sorry to see you leave the DOJ next month.

I found the Stretch/Livni interview much more confrontational than the Pre-Iraq War American media interviews.

Atleast Gregory didn't conclude his interview with "Good Luck and God Bless" or "Mossad Rocks!"

To me, this represents "progress" from our multi-million dollar Beltway press corps.

The Matthew Lee two-day browbeating of an inept, stooge at the State Dept. is how a reporter should treat a despicable PR flack, particularly when a war is raging - and a war is raging in Gaza.

It is hard to fathom that a reporter, who demonstrated such a firm grasp of the pandomonium now taking place in Gaza, would write such a weak, tepid story as AP published on Wednesday. No doubt a team of editors took a hatchet to the "rough" draft - probably without the reporters consent.

AP = American Pravda.

Today, the NYT finally commits itself officially as an advocate of mass genocide - atleast when it concerns those of the Muslim faith.

You can practically visualize Friedman fighting through a morning yawn as he types one of the most repulsive sentence fragments ever to appear in a daily newspaper: ..."the only long-term source of deterrence was to exact enough pain on the civilians — the families and employers of the militants — to restrain Hezbollah in the future.

The rest of this column reads like the rantings of a homicidal maniac with deep-seeded hatred against anyone with brown skin.

Unfortunately, this kind of "thinking" isn't rare when it comes to issues involving Israel. Attend any local vigil in support of Israel within the past month and similar Friedman-like thoughts can be heard, sometimes openly offered by men of deep religious "faith."

In America, Pro-Israel literally has come to mean: Death to All Palestinians; or Arabs; or Persians; or any Muslim-lookin' person.

Even the liberals, the intellectuals and the alleged "peace activists" are guzzling the kool-aid at a record pace.

“As always when Israel needs to be defended…Alan Dershowitz speaks with great passion and personal courage.”

-Elie Wiesel

I wonder if Friedman can be negotiated with.

Sure. If ALL the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, etc., gathered - quietly - and then proceeded --- one-by-one ---to jump off a cliff into the Dead Sea.

Then Friedman, Goldberg, Dershowitz and the other homicidal maniacs (sorry, Pro-Israel intellectuals) would be satisfied.

...in glenn's twisted world. al queda is hamas is Israel is America. None is better than the other. None aspires to more than the other. None benefits the human race more than the other.

It's simple, genius. Fundamentalism is fundamentalism. Israelis launching hundreds of bombs into civilian neighborhoods, hoping to kill one or two radical arab leaders is murder. Plain & simple.

I know it's a tough concept for some to understand.

Do normal people in your world have a 10 x 18 poster of Tom Friedman hanging over their bed as I assume is the case in the farrgut household?

We're waiting to be educated.

(crickets)

This only proves that real people (i.e. Republicans) agree torture is a needed tool in the War on IslamoliberObamafascism.

The rest of these people polled are just "elites".
