  • Who said I was trying to be a comedian?

    [Read the article: Majority of Israelis want to negotiate with Hamas]

    If I wanted to tell a joke, I'd bring up Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, or other Democratic "Leaders", or just bring up the Democratic Leadership in General.

    It's true. Chomsky also knows which side his bread is buttered on. He walks a line, he doesn't cross it. He is finicky and for all his rhetoric he plays divide and conquer when needed, just like the rest of them.

  • Think again

    I think it will make people more thoughtful about what they write when they know anyone can go back through and read everything you've ever said.

    They can be more thoughtful... or they can log on their sock puppet.

  • Yeah, it was "All Bush"

    Actually, it was Bush who turned the US into a totalitarian police state by starting up a comprehensive program to spy on Americans illegally. Then he lied his head off about it.

    And the Democratic Leadership is doing an AWESOME job putting a stop to it by caving on FISA, amirite? I guess it is ALL BUSH, using his pagan magic to hypnotize the innocent Dems in the Senate into being SOOOOO afraid that they had no choice but to give the Decider everything and anything he wants.

    Yeah, it is ALL Bush and the "right wingers" and neocons that are the cause, and the neoliberal globalist banksters out there are completely innocent. Bush is nothing but a mid level pagan on the criminal pyramid, but be a good True Believers and keep on pretending like Bush is the eye and that things are going to "change".

    It's doubtful any change in posting policy could help you wingnuts get your facts straight.

    the same can be said for the true believers.

    so it is a free speech issue then....

    arguing semantics are fun. Divide and conquer.

  • I'm a Neocon? Who doesn't have their facts straight? WTF are you talking?

    I'm a neocon because I don't agree with you? That's quite a stretch and you are grasping at straws.

    Isn't that like calling someone anti-semitic because they disagree with Zionism? Or calling someone a bigot because they believe that local governments are more effective than massive bureaucracies?

    You're free to let us know the details of the blackmail and threats you Bushites have used to accomplish that.

    Or maybe the Democratic Leadership is scared because they are stupid and ignorant, just like everyone else? Ever listen to what Glenn Greenwald says about the Democratic leadership outside of his blog?

    Actually, Bush is a front man for neoconservative globalists,

    So what? What is this? Obvious Hour?

    and there's plenty of criminal charges to share between the lot of you.

    Just what crimes have "I" committed and who is my lot?

    Mostly it's the smaller fish like yourself who end up getting convicted, though.

    Again, WTF is going on in your "Us vs. Them" divide and conquer true believer brain?

    The limb you are reaching out on is very unstable. Why don't you read my letter before you start throwing around the word "neocon". Do you even know what a neocon really is? Maybe you should read They knew they were right and learn what a neoconservative really is, instead of defining it as "bad person" that you throw out willy-nilly to everyone you disagree with and then use the label you applied to try and say it assumes criminality.

  • And "blackmail". That's rich

    It's a conspiracy! What a bunch of garbage. There is a gap between your perceptions and expectations, so you blame someone else and make up a bullshit conspiracy.

    Let me guess, we never landed on the moon either? The world is going to be taken over by reptillian republicans from Niribu in 2012?

    You're funny.

  • Walter Map, FYI

    If you want to learn what a neocon really is, so you don't sound completely ridiculous calling every who disagrees with you one, here is a start:

    I know it is a "far right" website, but here is a recent interview with Salon's Golden Boy himself, Glenn Greenwald, on the very same site. Although be warned, he doesn't fawn over the Democratic Leadership, or make up bullshit conpsiracy theories about blackmail, or heap the lavish praise on them and play apologist for their complete failures:

    enjoy.

  • For Example, Cheney and Bolton aren't neocons

    [Read the article: Anonymous no more]

    They are rabid ultranationalists. Neoconservatism is a disgusting and morally bankrupt ideology, but it isn't a blanket term for "bad people on the right".

  • You answered your own question

    [Read the article: Some hateful, radical ministers -- white evangelicals -- are acceptable]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Could it have to do with Israeli Militarism? Maybe Christians United for Israel has something to do with it? Or certain warmongering zionist elements inside of Israel? Or maybe Christian Zionists who are looking to bring on the rapture and see Israel as a useful tool in that regard?

    Could it possibly have something to do with the American Taboo of criticizing Israeli Policy within the US for fear of being branded a Hilter loving Holocaust Denying anti-Semite by the rabid Zionists at AIPAC and paranoid ADL witch hunters?

    Did I mention Israel?

  • "Fact check my hypothesis"

    [Read the article: Some hateful, radical ministers -- white evangelicals -- are acceptable]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Fact check my hypothesis: name just one person who is respected and given a platform by the media who is also openly critical of Israeli government policy

    Michael Schueur? But that is because he is Catholic and went to a Jesuit College, so he must be a Knight of Malta and part of the Pat Buchanan/Alex Jones Project Mockingbird NWO Vatican Conspiracy, secretly helping plan the American Inquisition.
