livinggreen ponders: "Zorkna, my dear, those are the most idiot posts I've read today (and that's saying something)."

I wouldn't waste time with Zorkna / Electro Robot. It would seem he'll be appearing here with more and more frequency as he has been 'terminated' on UT and will have to find other outlets to pour out his sick ravings -- Glenn Greenwald at UT (his rantings here reflecting his frustration at being ostracized, thankee Glenn) has finally decided to take the bull by the horns and banish Zorkna. Take away one of his soapboxes, so to speak. As Mr. Greenwald states, we shouldn't be enabling this poor feeb (insane is the word he actually used) to post his lunatic, hateful rantings 24/7. He actually lives in front of his computer, feeding on the feedback from his spewings -- kind of like a dog eating its own puke). Zorkna is some crazy, and seriously in need of help. Unfortunately, he tends to slap and reject those who would try to help him, and he feeds on the distaste he produces in others. The last thing he needs is encouragement by way of negative feedback. I just pray, like Hasan, he doesn't reach the end of his tether and do harm to others . . .

Caliph Mike rries to rehash the ol' "Take Back My / 'Murica, Love It Or Leave It" myth: "However, if you are talking about their influence on some groups of people, you should add to this company Glenn Greenwald. Among the Salon readers, he has been very successful when it comes to inciting hatred toward his own country and Israel."

Hatred toward his own country?? Maybe Mr. Greenwald's concern is about the way His Own Country is veering off into what he sees to be a twisted nutwing version of what twisted wingnuts think America should be. Is that what you're talking about?? Dissent is bad unless you are a shrieking gun-toting Tea-bagger ('ZombieLand' running through my head). But dissenting against YOUR warped values and ideals is traitorous & Un-'Uhmericun?? You favor a bumper-sticker constitution -- "Might is right"? "We're fightin' them over there so we don't have to fight them here in my gated community"?? You believe all that other crap that 'Uhmericuns espouse? Like, we should all be Christians, and that 'Murica is a Christian Caliphate? Abortion is murder, but it's okay to murder people if they disagree with Caliph Mike's 'Murica ver.2?? And like Israel, the means, and that includes anything -- apartheid, land-theft, murder (targetted assassinations), mass jailings, use of inhumane weaponry on civilians, collective punishment -- justifies the ends -- a safe and secure state for same-thinking people like yourself?? I know you Caliph Mike. You're the screamer -- the guy who panics and pushes people out of the way in his rush for safety. Stomping on people's fingers as they try to get on the lifeboat. You believe that Gawd Herself gave you two hands so you could grab and hoard everything that isn't tied down. She also gave you the right to poison the well, to scorch the earth, and to do harm to anyone who stands between you and what is yours. I know you Caliph Mike, and it ain't pretty. Sorry, but the majority of people in America don't agree with your stunted and twisted version of America. Your values are not the same as everyone else's. Thank Gawd for that, and may peace be upon Her . . .

Ol' Joe keeps on shuffling: "Suit case nukes killing civilians in the six block area would qualify as terrorism.

Now if you change your name to Ramadan Rashid Heard before you nuke the neighborhood we can blame the terroist act on jihadist Islamic terrorism."

And if your name was Colonel Paul Tibbets??

No, neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki were military targets . . . no matter what you say.

"Quick test. Which of the following were acts of terrorism: a) Al-Qaida’s bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000, which killed 17 American sailors; b) Hezbollah’s raid on an Israeli military patrol in July 2006, killing three soldiers and capturing two, and triggering a 34-day war; c) The Hamas ambush last week of an Israeli patrol on the Gaza border, killing one Israeli soldier d) Attacks on American troops in Iraq, which have killed about 3,500 soldiers (not including some 800 non-hostile deaths); e) None of the above.

The answer, of course, is (e) — none of the above."

totallyblase's opinion?? Probably jibes with Fiskies.

“But ‘terrorism’ no longer means terrorism,” to quote Robert Fisk, the longest-serving western journalist in the Middle East. “It is not a definition. It is a political contrivance. ‘Terrorists’ are those who use violence against the side that is using the word.”

Sounds like something out of Pogo . . .

Is it my imagination, or has Ol' Joe 'aged' considerably?? His posts are even more obtuse, and much sillier than his usual wingdings. Sudoku, Ol' Joe . . . . give your brain something to do.

groundzero (are you Japanese?) writes: "Omar the tent maker" in reference to the alleged 'shooter' (what a stupid term -- do they call someone a 'stabber' or how about 'baseball batter' -- dumbed down people). I'm sorry, has it already come down to this? "Omar the tent maker"?? You're a real piece of work, Mr. groundzero. I don't know what Hasan's real intent was, but I do know that the military is full of such homicidal maniacs (google returning vets and Fort Carson, you'll get the drift). Yes, indeed, the country is screwed once these damaged goods start pouring into normal society. Don't be worried about a few brown folks whose religion you've been conditioned to hate. Watch the donut, Mr. groundhog, not the hole . . .
