A vote for Odom!
"If a Republican presidential candidate promised to strangle neoconservatism and throw it on the dustbin of history, I would be very open to voting Republican in 2008."
I echo that thought!
I feel more repulsion for the spineless democrats in congress than for the evil promulgated by the Bush administration.
I will vote for any candidate that will stop this war and its associated lunacy. Torture is especially repugnant to me and I just can’t believe that so many Americans can carry it out for the Bushies without raising some kind of rebellion.
It would be great to have a coherent, articulate, humane, human-being in the White House once again.
Both Odom and Hagel appear to be a great candidates, from my-point-of- view.

Glenn Greenwald...
If you're still following this thread, I'm wondering if you ever followed the link I put up at 6:10 pm, to examples of the WWII "V for Victory" graphics that you requested.
Wish I could just post graphics here, but here's that link again:

Click "Surprise me" for random pages, many showing images similar to the logo on the hideous Hewitt's blog. There's not a single iconic poster that I know of, but many images (on posters, pins, and so on) that share the same bold sans-serif "V" emblazoned with the word "Victory," often with military images of planes in V-formation, diverging searchlight beams, etc.
This is pretty tangential to the substantive conversation that's been going on here, but I think interesting in itself. We've come a long way from the idealistic emotions of that war, to the cynical manipulation of the "Victory" meme by today's right-wingers.

Thanks for the hit parade
Jim - Fond memories all, but context is everything.
The fear here is palpable, that of hearing conservative or dissenting voices. Why do you think there is talk of resurrecting the fairness doctrine if not to stifle conservative speech.
In Odom's summary c.v., why is it not also mentioned that he worked in the Carter White House? He also signed a petition slamming George Bush for his attacks on Clinton during the 1992 campaign, saying Clinton would be a preferable president because he would not appease dictators. Funny how that turned out. Heh.
Odom also claims to be nonpartisan. Heh again.

Wait those quotes are real?
I thought Jim was just making those up as examples of what DR might say! He actually said those thing?
LOL is all I can say about that. Credibility zero.

DR is a zionist
Drocks gladly supports American troops being sent to their death for the "defense" of another country. So Iran has threatened Israel, BFD. Israel has several hundred nukes and they can defend themselves. Why should Americans die for any country other than America? And I mean any other country.
PS Clownsense likes mead (honey wine). You should try some. Not the store bought stuff (sulfites and all). Search out a local mead-maker and sample the oldest alcoholic beverage (ambrosia) known to man. It is quite different (superior!) from any other fermented sugar.

Dear me yes -- you can see it in the sightless, thousand-yard stares of the UT readers, as they huddle together in terror: "M-my god... I can't bear to return to the comments section... a neocon might say that I hate victory!"
Why do you think there is talk of resurrecting the fairness doctrine if not to stifle conservative speech.
How would the Fairness Doctrine stifle conservative speech? Unless, of course, the 'conservative speech' in question was founded on lies and irrelevant, infantile personal attacks.
But that would never happen, would it.
