Here was my favorite part:
At this point several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed “White Power!”
The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was
trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we
understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air,
grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and
ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE
POWER!”
I read the New York Times. What if observe is that many of you read only the 'edited' excerpts from news articles presented to you online by people like Glenn. Both the left and right do the same thing.
Well them tell me how many innocent U.S. citizens are locked in Guantanamo?
If they have any proof of wrong doing, they be an international court not U.S. military courts with ACLU defending them.
Could you rewrite that, in English this time? I couldn't diagram that sentence if you gave me all afternoon and a pot of coffee...
I don't know where this whole idea that U.S. citizens have human rights, but that foreigners can be treated any old way, came from. I mean, we've had wars before. We've taken foreign people hostage. For the most part, we've been able to avoid systematically sodomizing them with nightsticks and drowning them to the edge of death.
We're really not in uncharted territory here, much as the bedwetters would like us to believe.
And that's the greatest TERROR of all, isn't it? ;)
I suppose when you say that you read the NYT, you believe everything. How do you feel about being mislead about the Iraq war?
Thanks for the explanation. So the bottom line is "in principle" the UN could expel Israel for ignoring the resolution, but won't.
Ann Coulter was the person who defended the President, right or wrong, for the past eight years.
Indeed she did. By throwing bombs at everyone who disagreed with her rigid ideology. Just like Glenn does. Now why did Coulter adopt that particular position? Here's a guess: It sold books, made her a celebrity, and made her lots of money. Hoist another bomb. Get another headline. Sell another book.
Think about it.
My take is that Glenn doesn't so much object to the cult of personality he sees all around Obama (which, for Glenn, includes everyone who: a) doesn't already hate Obama; b) can't yet see the colossal failure of Obama's presidency; c) is insufficiently ideologically pure; and d) doesn't agree with every word the Great Greenwald puts on a computer screen. No, it isn't the cult that Glenn objects to, Glenn is just jealous that his own cult isn't bigger. (Cue Glenn's Moms to come defend their boy.)
As to Glenn's comment: Glenn, I consider this public service in accord with the First Amendment. You remember that one, I suppose, being a civil libertarian and all.
Oh, by the way, how's that expose on the dreadful civil liberties record of the AG-appointee going? Not so good? I guess Holder has an acceptable ideological pedigree of some sort that immunizes him from the scathing keyboard of Glenn (Coulter) Greenwald. Anyway, probably better for business if you wait until Holder gets in and then you savagely criticize every breath he takes instead of trying to do something constructive, like asking question BEFORE he's confirmed.
Left-Wing Loonies. Right-Wing Wackos. Two peas in a rotten pod.
Grow up.
There's the nut of it: U.S. citizens have human rights.
That's why we call everyone else aliens.
“WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”
That's it, I'm gone. I read Greenwald's column, but it looks like this place is getting dangerous! Exeunt, stage left, pursued by flying plates.
Well them tell me how many innocent U.S. citizens are locked in Guantanamo?
Do your own research. I am more concerned about innocent citizens of other countries in this case.
I think the younger generation has gone else where because they don't have the ability to sit down and take the time to read a long newspaper or magazine articles,and read more than one opinion. They rather had bit and bites fed to them in their narrow sphere of interest.
then it is the job of an international court not U.S courts or the ACLU.
Well, at least the adherents of Wife Power aren't trying to burn anything more significant than dinner and/or their bras. :-D
Like most things, one size doesn't fit all -- it depends on the objective at hand. The clowns are an awesome of example of using humor to disempower hate. As much as motorists froth-at-the-mouth over critical mass demonstrates, I support them and I think they are effective. I think the Million Man March was effective.
IMHO, a Washington DC march to make a statement re: torture and Bush admin prosecutions, if it were large enough, would get attention. I'm not sure humor would be best weapon at such a march, but other forms of performance art I'm sure would add quite a bit.

yes, Glenn, remember the First Amendment? Maybe wbgonne should quote it for you and edjamiccate you some.
And yeah, where's that post on Holder? Oh right, here: http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/11/19/holder/
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
