1. hmmm, you mean all the usual suspect biddies were pecking the bloodied burnbart to death ? ? ? gosh, how unusual that is...

buk buk buk

2. much as hairyer said, weak end at bernies provides plenty of opportunity to take her to task (although why the biddies bother, is beyond me), but she DOES make some salient points, and she DOES 'represent' a lot of soccer moms and others misguided thought processes in regards to many of these issues...

hee hee hee

further, she DOES -in fact- have a point that 90%+ of the sheeple have NOT heard of saint gleen -or much of any blogger, beyond the fact that they realize they are out there- for the simple reason that they DON'T follow the news beyond the infotainment presented by the mainstream...

ho ho ho

all you fanboyees and fangrrlees may center your scatter-plot of scatter-shot brainpower around the gruenwald universe, but most sheeples don't...

ha ha ha

(i mean really, if you want to start using 'popularity' as a metric for societal approval or usefulness, then you are stuck with the limpballs and oreallys of das veldt, aren't you kampers ? ? ? the simplistic equation of 'poplularity' is what got us into this fucking mess...)

3. the system is corrupted; it will NOT self-reform; what are you going to do ? ? ?

*sigh*

it really is disspiriting to find so many self-identified pwogs who have don't have a fucking clue what 'freespeech' IS...

start with chomsky and get back to me, junior CENSORS...

(really, a person should not be considered 'progressive' in any way, shape, or form if they condone or practice CENSORSHIP... )

much like a person who self-identifies as not being racist, um, except for the tiny exception they don't like brown peoples; pwogs who claim they are for freespeech, and THEN spend half their time justifying CENSORSHIP, are simply not progressives where it counts...

they are cowards, pantywaists, and proto-nazis who don't want a discouraging word uttered that discomforts them... neatness over freedom is YOUR choice; comfort over truth is YOUR choice; propriety over free-expression is YOUR choice...

sweet jeeezus, all for the sake of filtering out a relative handful of obnoxious posts that so upset the chickenshit babbits that they get the vapors...

good dog, what a nation of simpering wimps...

oh, and paulwhatever, just because *SOME* few lefty sites (including this one) DO allow SEMI-freespeech, and *MOST* reichwing sites don't allow much of any contrary voices, does NOT mean that lefty sites are bastions of freespeech, THEY ARE NOT...

just because one person only hits me with a fist, and another whacks me with a 2x4, does not mean that the one hitting with the fist isn't still assaulting me...

i'm guessing the word will become more common in amerika...

unfortunately, you took my throwaway line as the sum total of the post; the main point was regarding a tarbaby most pwogs run screaming the other way from: CENSORSHIP...

ho ho ho

you support CENSORSHIP do you ? ? ?

"If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all."

is CENSORSHIP a 'progressive value' or what ? ? ?

hee hee hee

is freespeech ONLY applicable to the closet of your own home ? ? ?

ho ho ho

there being -practically speaking- ZERO 'public commons' left to us li'l peeps...

um, so we *are* (and have been for some time) an amoral militaristic society planting the flag for kapitalist imperialism and calling it 'democracy-building' by killing and destroying brown people and their societies ? ? ?

from alternet article by gail mcgowan:

...

Andrew Tilghman, a correspondent for Stars and Stripes, by chance interviewed Green after he had been in Iraq for four months, a month before the al-Janabi killings. He later described Green in the Washington Post as hospitable, friendly, thrill-seeking, at ease with both Americans and Iraqis. Also candid, Green said what Tilghman already knew many other soldiers felt: “I came over here because I wanted to kill people…I mean, I thought killing somebody would be this life-changing experience. And then I did it…I mean, you kill somebody and it's like 'All right, let's go get some pizza.'…I just want to go home alive. I don't give a [expletive] about the whole Iraq thing. I don't care….See, this war is different from all the ones that our fathers and grandfathers fought. Those wars were for something. This war is for nothing."

Lt. Col. Karen Marrs testified that in 2006 she found his depleted, demoralized Bravo Company “combat incapable” and first platoon its weakest unit. A colonel had been alerted that Green was dangerously unstable, but nothing had been done beyond giving him sleeping pills—in a company that was allowed only four hours of sleep a night.

what we need, is an army of none...

just *what* criteria would fuzzy soft bunny babbits use to distinguish an out-and-out militaristic society from a -you know- righteously kick-ass one ? ? ?
