John McCain's serious foreign policy

The moderate, serious candidate tells right-wing bloggers that he'll be Hamas' "worst nightmare."

The letters thread is now closed.

@ tailwind

-These people (McCain and Bush) are devout Christians and they follow the bible down to the letter.-

I have never been quite so sure. I never believed Bush when he spoke of his 'faith'.

Nor do I believe McCain.

I don't believe either of them are at all devout, though it's more likely that Junior is, if anyone.

-Ha Ha! I think Fred Thompson has more on the ball than McCain ever did and that ain't much.-

At least Freddie had a day-job in the private sector.

-Scorched earth is acceptable to many Democrats, but this time, the object is fellow Democrats.-

Right. Like issuing a push-poll that whispers McCain had a black baby out of wedlock?

Wait, wasn't that the GOP?

Repuglycan projection, Scooter.

"crazed vermin"

Really, sugarman? How reminiscent, don't you think?

You're an idiot.

@Bubbee

yes, when i wrote that i said to myself, "leave it in?" and answered, why not? give some self-righteous pork chop hiccups. turns out it was you, bubbee, which is baby girl in yiddish.

Hmmm. Timber and woods?

I'd say those two responses reinforce the observation that negativity is all people here have to offer. I said I'd "rather" Obama win, but if you are content to play Sunni and Shia, while taking the occasional pot shot at greater forces... be my guest. Heh.

The Democratic party is going to have to learn how to lose gracefully, or be forever locked in a struggle to the death.

Graceful losers are rare in politics, on any side.

Frankly, I see McThuselah winning in November, a prospect which I find unappealing..

But then, with the possible exception of Kookinich, I found all of the proffered candidates for POTUS this cycle unappealing.

No, it's the case. It is utterly the case.

BTW I'm a registered Democrat. If I'm so far to the right that I'm insane, I guess that makes you a Soviet Era Communist. Or an idiot. Your call.

Electro

I don't care how you are registered, since you make so little sense it is hard to tell just what you believe.

If I were to call you a wit, I'd be only half right.

@WT

Yes, as you say, William, I can often be found with a gardenia in my hair, looking moodily pensive while I hum "God Bless the Child".

Actually, I sure would love to play like Mal Waldron, her pianist.

Thanks to all who responded, I should have said "good night".

Sunday, April 27, 2008 10:04 AM

not everyone, Aych - i find Electro Robot very easy to understand

although half the time he's joking. perhaps it's you that lacks in the wit department.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 10:10 AM

You know you've won the argument ....

When someone who refers to other humans as "crazed vermin" and "exploding population" has the gall to call someone else a

bigot.

A Jew arguing for population control and eugenics policies against a subgroup of the general population, no irony there or anything, seeing as how the holocaust was a big eugenics/population control expirement much like the bigotted Zionist recommends be used against others. Population controls is codespeak for "these people are too stupid to not breed all the time and need eugenics programs implemented by righteous others, us, on the other side of the world, because we know best"

@ Mooseman

It's something about your phrasing, I think. I hear talking horns, surprises. I also like gardenias, but at 150 miles an hour, I don't know. You should probably wear a helmet anyway, and keep the gardenia in a baggie, with a damp paper towel, maybe, until you hit the stage.

Do you know A pigfoot and a bottle of beer?

we are better than you. the world needs us. (because we include einsteins). it doesn't need arabs. the three hundred million of them don't include anyone (try it yourself. see if you can come up with someone other than omar sharif, zogby and suicide bombers)

How Zionists can solve the Palestinian "vermin" issue.

Why doesn't Israel just implement Droit de seigneur or primae noctis, you know, like in Braveheart? :D Seems pretty logical for occupying tyants who are frightened of the idea that the people under their boot might breed more then them and will simply overwhelm the tyrants with youth!

Haven't you seen Braveheart? If you can get the out, breed them out! That would mean that a pure and perfect Zionist Soul might have to have sex with a Goy or a "vermin", but the Zionists have already sacrificed so much for Greater Israel, I'm sure nobody will care if they start banging their slaves. In fact, AIPAC will probably be on board so chances are the US will subsidize the whole thing for our great Democetic allie and staunch supporter Israel.

scared sugarman

Poor little David Sugarman. What is like living your life afraid of lies?

Israel, great Democracy. What a sham. Say hi to Vanunu for me.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 10:36 AM

you were always a nazi at heart, Sinnard

that's my final solution to the Sinnard Problem - stop communicating with an idiot (but virally infected) nit.

sugarman

I don't find Andrew Dice Clay amusing either..

Some "jokes" are just an excuse to be a cruel asshole..

Sunday, April 27, 2008 10:57 AM

oh noes, a bigoted Zionist called me a Nazi (i.e. antisemite)

Yawn... the Politics of Antisemitism... that shit is so stale....

You must be kidding anyway, or just living in a dream world. It is hard to tell sometimes if people are being sarcastic or if they really are that afraid, closed minded, ignorant, dumb, etc. about truth, objective reality, and their own lives.

And they just Analyzed McCain's Hamas Strategy on Fox. It came down to nuclear Israel's "Security", and somehow by extension ours... and "he is saying something that his constituents might like".

But why wouldn't the neocons conflate US National Security with Israel's National Security? 95% of them are dual citizens.

Chris Wallace has Obama on Fox News Sunday

First Question is basically: "Some groups perceive Hillary Clinton as tougher than you? What say you, tough guy?"

Obama is tough enough, just give him a nuclear power to shake a sword at.

I don't think I've missed more than a few days at a time reading at least some comments here, but a few months back i somehow missed out on a guy named sugarman who i after-the-fact learned had been bizarre enough to be one of the few people Glenn has banned. Now I see why. This guy is one of the most unmitigated racists I've seen in a long time. I know every group has a few like this, and in a conflict like the one going in on in the ME slimeballs like this on either side make life hell for the rest of humanity that just wants to live in peace. I don't think Glenn should allow his blog to be a forum for this kind of vile hate-speech.

Sugarman, if only the god of Israel wre really the guy you think he is. You'd be in for a world of pain.
