  • -- BadCelery! ...

    "...and bucky1 cheerleads the skinheads? ..."

    And where was that you vile little moron?

  • @LWM

    Once again I ask: "What am I, chopped liver"? No, don't mention me. Well, lemme tell you something, pal, I don't care what bucky1 says, I am through being your sock-puppet! No more! I quit!

    I'm tired of toeing the line for a heel like you, darn it.

    Bucky1, could you help me to escape my sock-puppetry?

    Or at least tell me how LWM managed to do it? Did I call him up and give him my password? I don't remember doing that.

  • Res ipsa loquitur says Billy

    Yes, that is well put; you claim slime tactics are perfectly justified. Please recall this during the coming campaign when McCain comes after Obama with those tactics justified by men such a you.

  • "Timberman puts it on the line ..."

    Is this a pissing match or we seeing how many pennies one can move on the bar top?

  • Sorry, Ladies

    The later is a spectator sport for you.

    hehe

  • @LWM

    LWM, please release me, let me go! I don't love you any more! Even you will concede that living a lie is a sin? Release me, and let me post again.

    Please remember LWM, according to bucky1 I am your sock-puppet. He has never retracted, let alone apologised for, this accusation, and so I can only plead with you.

    Right, bucky1, my lad?

    You can't even face up to that little bit of shit-slinging, and you expect people here to take you seriously? Not gonna happen, kid, not gonna happen.

  • PW

    Those words express, albeit very subtley, my dislike of most of you and attempt to evoke the somewhat pathological nature of many of Greenwaldites in general, whether they are posting here or defending their host elsewhere on the web.

    There's lots of pathological personalities on the web on every point of the political compass, Greenwaldites are far, far from alone in that respect.

    My personal view is that anyone who reflexively defends the current administration is so far beyond pathological that the light from pathological won't reach them for ten billion years.

  • pssst! before Nurse Ratched gets back

    there is a new thread up.

  • @Aycharach

    My personal view is that anyone who reflexively defends the current administration is so far beyond pathological that the light from pathological won't reach them for ten billion years.

    When Proxy or Shooter or Elehump or NOB or whoever show up, just ask them to explain to the readers how their conservative philosophy has led them to riches, respect, and more pussy than a guy in a women's prison with a fistful of pardons gets.

    With examples from their life.

    That, more than anything else, will chase them away pronto.

    I guess they aren't willing to part with their secrets. Either that, or maybe when a person reaches the pinnacle of personal accomplishment the only thing he wants to do is sit around and write pissy comments to Glenn Greenwald. That must be it. I'm sure he's writing them in a nicer room and on a better computer than us.

  • Derbig Mooser

    "That, more than anything else, will chase them away pronto."

    I'm still here. And I'm afraid an ad hom accusing me of hiding behind a screen name from a fellow called Derbig Mooser could hardly be less convincing.

  • And I'm afraid an ad hom accusing me of hiding behind a screen name ...

    "... from a fellow called Derbig Mooser could hardly be less convincing."

    Now god damn. That was funny.

  • I protest the honour

    of my friend the respectable Mr. Mooser, heir to the Mooser fortune.

  • Jazzlstn

    Kitt, I am not slapped down, but will no longer be responding to the entries. The court Pete B cited did not “slap down” the classification of the information for which Diaz was convicted for releasing.

    I didn't say that they did. You read what they wrote as well as I did. The court told the government that the government had no excuse for keeping the names classified. That's what I was replying to. So your next line, That information was and remains classified, is crap because it doesn't have anything to do with the ruling or my comment about it.

    It is interesting that you label me as a dishonest mole without knowing a thing about me, but people like you refer to Diaz as a hero

    "People like me"? How ironical you would say that right after saying that I know nothing about you. I do know what you have been writing. And I haven't referred to Diaz in one way or another. So, again, you're making stuff up.

    I won’t pop back up because there is no reasoning with you. You are guilty of what you complain about when it comes to the administration, you only care about the truth if it fits your particular viewpoint.

    You'll pop back up. It's your job or your obsession. I'm not guilty of something just because you make up shit about me. And you don't know what my "viewpoint" is about any of the specifics of this situation. I don't know the guts of this case. I do know that you have been very busy bending the bejeebus out of the facts of the case.

  • RIP Mom Mooser

    "heir to the Mooser fortune."

    I already inherited, unfortunately, after Mom passed away. An awful price to pay, but that's the way it goes.

    And I can't help it if my name is funny. Google it, and you'll find that it is not as unusual as even I thought.

    Perhaps in the future Proxy and Shooter will tell us more about themselves. Without a doubt, their philosophy has brought them riches and respect.

  • Subtle pustules

    My laugh for the day. "Malignant pustules" is a subtle dig.

    Wrong

    "Toxicity retreats into the comforting notion that words have no actual meaning and that phrases like "malignant pustules" don't actually EXPRESS anything because that would entail actually being responsible for his own spewings."

    Wrong again Dirks. Those words express, albeit very subtley, my dislike of most of you and attempt to evoke the somewhat pathological nature of many of Greenwaldites in general, whether they are posting here or defending their host elsewhere on the web. However, I've seen enough of the element here for long enough for there to be no danger of outrage.
