You miss the point because you don't want to see the point.

Nazis are no more evil or scary than the people responsible for the war, the torture and the perversion of our nation. They are also no different than the beasts who taze, break bones and kill innocent people for no just cause.

Monsters are not just wearing the swastika.

As for Ramsey Clark, you also miss the point. He is an atorney and believes that everyone deserves a defense, even monsters. He defended Saddam Hussein and if Bush and Cheney were ever brought to justice he would probably volunteer to defend them as well.

You can despise someone yet still defend them and attempt to give them some justice.

If an enemy is wounded and defeated, do you not render assistance, or do you just watch them die, or help them along the way with a few more bullets?

What are we doing to Iraq?

One is the human choice and the other is just as bad as being a Nazi or any other branded form of psychopathic monster.

Schizophrenia

If you tell a schizophrenic one thing, they will often hear something entirely different what you said. It is a classic symptom of the disorder.

For instance:

You say, "I am opposed to war and in favor of justice." and they hear "I hate you and I want to kill you and all of your kind!"

Once you realize that you are in communication with a schizophrenic, you also may realize that you are wasting your time.

The label for a group/type/race of people is never an equivilant to war, occupation and oppression in the mind of a sane and not stupid individual.

Waxman doesn't get it.

Waxman should have just laughed until that buffoon sat down and then thank the honourable senator for his clowning and then suggest that we get onto the serious business at hand rather than play who is the biggest jakckass.

The democrats treat these people with kid gloves and respect while they piss all over them.

Waxman doesn't get it, congress is a joke. The only way for congress not to be a joke is for the democrats to realize it and do something about it. Laughter IS appropriate.

Everytime that jackass brays, it should be met with a chorus of laughter from every democrat in the room. They could bray right back at him. Any of them have whoopee cushions?

C-SPAN ratings would go through the roof.

We have to keep this scam going on as long as we can

By making the situation in Iraq worse, they insure that the business of war will continue and that the money will keep flowing.

If the enemy isn't shooting at them, then they need to shoot at the enemy enough to get them to shoot back and then they can say, "Look, thar be terrorists! ARGH! You need us to protect you from them, HEH HEH HEH!"

"Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!"

"How much money do you have left?"

Trolls

Trolls may be intemperate, when you respond to a troll in an intemperate fashion, they are free to cry foul and get very intemperate. rinse and repeat.

Meanwhile, their bosses are picking your pockets while you are worrying about them.

RE: It seems that there has been something lost in translation here.

No, it is called propaganda.

Try not to assume people are anti-semites, most Americans love Jews anyway. I must of seen the Ten Commandmneta at least two dozen times.

Chill a bit and love to you.

You have no enemies.

Please ignore her.

Do not encourage her by asking her serious questions or bringing up the war. She may end up being the first female president if you give her any ideas.

I mean give her family any ideas.

RE: Third Party

"How about instead of throwing your vote away on a third party, try making the Democratic Party one you're proud to vote for?"

Well first you have to ween them from all the happy pills.

Then you have to ween them from the defense contractor's monies.

Let's don't even mention AIPAC since the first two are unpossible anyway.

The Democrats do not want to change. They figure that if the Republicans screw things up enough they will be given the reigns of power and what they do doesn't matter anyway.

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are more likeky to become world leaders and nobel prize winners than the Democratic Party become the Democaratic Party again.
