  • As if on cue....

    "shooter042" comes out with:

    The slumber party seems to be going well....

    On the other hand, the toughest guy you folks have is Hillary. Is everyone ready for the Mommy-fication of America?

    Lookie, lookie! "Shooter"'s afraid of Hillary! No wonder his a$$ isn't off in Iraq; he still hasn't let go his own mommie's skirt (and good thing too; his erstwhile comrade would have to put up with the soggy-diaper smell).

    You know, you'd almost have to pay most trolls to come up with a one-liner, hardcore proof of Glenn's thesis. But "shooter"'s up to doing it for free, and without any coaching even. Give "shooter" a hearty thanks here, folks.

    Cheers,

  • Speaking of Republican "warriors"...

    Here's another one for you:

    A Rove protege, imagine that!

    Just about as big a whiner as "shooter042"....

    Cheers,

  • Slow on the uptake....

    [shooter042]: What do you think about the idea that if one shows weakness it invites attack?

    Perhaps. I wish you'd stop wetting your pants about the Terra-ists that are all gonnagetchoo. It's not dignified, and yes, it may in fact encourage more attacks. So stop. Please.

    It's not me that's whining and complaining about the "Islamofascists" and the "caliphate from Indonesia to France" they have in mind. It's folks like you, "shooter". Maybe you believe it, maybe you just sign on to this fear-mongering for reasons that are less that honest and far from noble. Doesn't matter to me. As far as the potential attackers go, it all looks the same, no? But, all things considered, I think you're a f*ckin' pussy. Probably just like "Pantsload" Jonah, and that creep from Confederate Yankee that pissed his pants when a blogger (and one of those panty-waist liberal bloggers at that) called him out a while back.

    Cheers,

    I hereby introduce the amazing unprecidented SELF-ILLUSTRATING Blog post....

    Great minds think alike. But beachatooit. ;-)

    The sad part is that the RWA type-one "shooter" will keep coming back for more. I'm sure a psychologist would have a fair bit to say about that, not to mention John Dean.

    Cheers,

    If we as a country are going to continue being ripped apart by the ill will generated on this issue then I once again advocate isolationism..

    * bring home ALL the troops

    * pay off ALL our debts

    * no Americans die in combat

    * and ALL the wortld will love us

    WTF do you think you are, to be dictating terms? FOAD, you snivelling panty-wetter.

    Cheers,

  • Tiberius is an historical eedjit....

    [Read the article: The al-Marri decision]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    [Tiberius]: Comparing the USA today to 1930's Germany is just silly, panicky talk. If this was the same would we be having an election in 2008? Of course not.

    Hitler came to power (for the most part) "democratically" and "legally". It was only after he'd gotten the Chancellory that he started consoldidatin power and getting rid of the opposition.

    But I'll agree with you: The "Reichstag fire" is not proving as successful the second time round. People are getting a little more wary, mainly because Dubya started the more umpleasant things (like war and secret prisons) earlier, before he had really gotten the population behind him. Tough luck for you, Tiberius. Your Republicans will have a hard road to hoe, for quite some time. Too bad you hitched your wagon to him, eh?

    Cheers,

  • @ El Cid (and indirectly "shooter042")

    [El Cid]: The US' right wingers are absolute and abject failures at the one endeavor for which they were (wrongly) entrusted: martial virtues.

    Who'da known? ;-)

    Actually, quite a few of us. I think there were plenty that were laying bets in 2000 about how long it would take Dubya, if elected, to get into a war. Lots of commentary at that time from the RW sycophants and enablers about how we were all paranoid and crackpot complete with our latest "magic bullet" theories and tin-foil regalia. The actual answer, sadly enough, probably surprised even a fair number of the more prescient. We weren't paranoid, we were spot-on if not conservative.

    Now tell me that current warnings about creeping fascism are more moonbat conspiracy rantings. We have the RW wingnuts pegged, I tellya. We were right!!!.

    Cheers,

  • @ Garry Owen

    [Read the article: Sen. Reid's crime]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    But before throwing that crap around as gospel, you might want to try it yourself. Go to a gathering of GWOT or Vietnam combat vets and lay that bullshit on them, about how their experience under fire doesn't give them any credibility over some book-learned asshole with a degree in history and a belly full of theoretical war fighting strategy, -- or some pencil-necked, four-eyed blogger from Salon.

    Let me know how that works out for you. If you're still able to talk. I can recommend a good dental surgeon to you for the reconstructive dental work you'll be needing.

    Yep, that's the kind of "reasoned discourse" the Democratic Party needs, not this whining, mewling, knock-kneed 'intellectualism' of all these Pinko Commie 'egg-heads' here ... hell, what do they know, arguing theory and facts and all?

    I'd note for the record that Garry Owen presumes to speak for quite a few veterans here. Guess they elected him Universal Spokesman to the Blogs, eh?

    The above 'rebuttal' by Mr. Owen puts to mind a conversation I heard on RW talk radio foamer Mike Gallagher's show a while back, talking about NYC police about the Diallo/Louima time period. Some caller had termed the NYC cops "pigs", which lit Gallagher's fuse. Then some RW fomer eedjit calls and starts deriding that previous caller, saying he'd like to see this previous caller if some cops ever caught him alone in an alley somewhere (or words to that effect), and Gallager was agreeing with the sentiment. <*SHEESH! STOOPID!...*> These RWA morons really don't have any ability to see themselves, or to think about what it is that they're saying.

    Mr. Owens better attempt to think about what I'm saying. Or just FOAD.

    Cheers,
