[Read the article: Emulating the enemy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks for the groundless speculation. Yeah, Iran will, for no visible reason, prove to be the only nation other than the US to use nuclear weapons.
Oh wait, that's another similarity between them and us, isn't it?

And
[Read the article: The corpse of the Victory Caucus]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]he did it all without calling us assholes and morons. Dailywanks could take a page from mbf.
Although, if I could nitpick:
that "relentless and cruel enemy" our troops battle---could it be ourselves? Which would paint a different picture.
Or could the true enemy be be stupidity, against whom even the gods themselves struggle in vain? That would certainly explain a defeat.

Scooter
[Read the article: Confrontational investigations, subpoenas, and hearings are the priority]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You are as foolish and unserious as ever.
I for one desire to know every detail of Democratic politicians' (e.g., Clinton's) collaboration with the neofascists, just as I desire to know every detail of the neofascists' crimes. If you had the slightest clue what is afoot here at Glenn's blog, you would know that, and know that these desires are shared by nearly everyone here.
Everyone, that is, but you and your after-school playmates.

[Read the article: Fallout from the Coulter speech]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Miss the point much?
Sheesh.

Just passing through
[Read the article: Various matters]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]William, I wish you luck with your protest. I do think that this Constitutional stuff is way over the heads of the kids. It always was, really, and they only ever got interested en masse (as in the 60s) because they felt threatened or dismissed, I think. That's just what it takes. And until they feel threatened, we're going to sound to them like gloomy grandpa and his tales of fighting the Kaiser. But they don't feel threatened, and so are only capable of the fleeting, adolescent moral outrage that is so easily co-opted by the culture markets, the job markets, and the churches.
On another note, I'm glad to know that Scooter is finally seen for what he is: watermelon-flavored.

The dark side of the blogverse
[Read the article: Our right-wing arbiters of masculinity]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]For all the undeniable benefits of blogs---especially given the pathetic state of the corporate media---this behavior is exactly what we should have expected given the relative anonymity of the Web, once blogs emerged as something more than personal diaries.
If I can enter a chat room and pass myself off as jailbait, then I can also put up a blog without a photo of myself and pass myself off as Conan the Barbarian. Of course, that would instantly be recognized as burlesque.
Right?
Salon's posting of caricatures of its bloggers actually adds to its credibility, relative to these pasty slugs. I wondered at first, but now I'm thankful for the caricatures. And, ironically, for the fact that Glenn is a good-lookin' guy.

The truth about the WMDs
[Read the article: Why would any rational person listen to Robert Kagan?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I still say I have Saddam's WMDs in my pants. No one has yet proven this to be false. So it can't really be debated by reasonable people. I said so.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are you calling SomeNYGuy a pansy?
I wouldn't stand for that. ;)

[Read the article: Our right-wing arbiters of masculinity]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He tries so hard. But anyone can see that he's desperately applying the rhetorical tactics he's learned from the neocon rule book, no matter how deep in the shit he gets. His posts are stretched so tight, they are transparent.
Scooter, meanwhile, satisfies himself with mindlessly insinuating the same talking points Glenn has shredded. There's no doubt which one works harder.
Hats off to you, daily wanker! You're a true soldier.

You call those "thoughts"?
[Read the article: Our right-wing arbiters of masculinity]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]* Should one prefer candidates that fail to live up to high standards, or candidates that have low standards easily met?
Tough call. Ted Haggard, what do you think?
And you, Scooter? What of your transparently low and flexible standards?
Take a page from the Daily Wanker. He's a bit more difficult to wave away. You, all we need to do is quote you and you're done.

Goloden Turd
[Read the article: Support for al-Qaida plots on large right-wing blog]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is in stark contrast to Islam, where aggressive conquest ("submission") is its whole raison d'etre.
Um, no. It's not. Aggressive conquest does not equal submission. In Islam, you submit to God, fool, not to those who conquer you. You should learn a little about Islam from sources other than Time and Newsweek. There are these things called "books" . . .
Are you accustomed to swallowing stupid ideas whole? You seem to be good at it. Maybe there's a career you in the White House press corps.

There you go aagain
[Read the article: Support for al-Qaida plots on large right-wing blog]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And Muslims do believe that the Koran is the immutable word of God, prescribed in what is presumably God's native tongue of Arabic. Unlike the Bible, which scholars realize had many authors over a long period of time and which was written in two languages and later translated to many, the Koran was invented whole cloth out of an ambitious warlord's perversion of what he knew of Judaism. No?
No. What a slipshod comparison: What "scholars" think about the Bible plus some irrelevant factoids, versus what you think "Muslims believe."
Do you think the Koran has never been translated? And what's your point anyway? Since when does a religion require a defense? Are Christianity and Islam in competition for Miss (Palatable to Westerners) Religion?
Pah! You are nothing more than a new fool we will have to kick around.
