He's been walking all over the Constitution and American rights and freedoms. It is only natural for him to start walking on the symbol too.

must be like porn for you people. Don't get your keyboards sticky.

Is it just me or does that look a little Photoshopped?

Break out the Desenex!

George W., Laura and Joe ,makes three , morons that is.

It would be totally reprehensible if a clever person were to replace Laura's face with that of Osama bin Laden via Photoshop.

Hitting something with the soles of your feet is one of the worst insults one can deliver in the Arab world.

This is code for Bush's oil cohorts: "Anything I can do to stay in business with you great, blessed barons... up to and including screwing America."

I must plead guilty. Every time I see the Chimp and Ms. Pissy together doing something stupid like picking their noses and eating the boogers (It's out there, Google it), I just all tickled inside.

What kind of porn do you like, Joe? Dead American soldiers?

Iraqi children murdered? (It's out there for you Joe, try Ogrish.com).

I was unaware that this was a slow news day...

It's just weird how Bush is always holding his wife's hand when they are photographed. I've been married longer than he is, and we don't ever do that-- my husband assumes I can walk all by myself. It makes them look like kindergartners-- or like she would run away if he wasn't holding on.

Boy does that photo ever look like the plastic figurines we see atop wedding cakes. Perhaps they are posing for a newer neo-con idea: Figurines for Wake Cakes. 2,750 + of them, more if you count the dead in Bush's other wars. Make mine yellow...

I don't get off on any of those things. But you seem to know where to find them so I think it's safe to assume you do.

You are one sick puppy and great representation of the "progressives".

Hey Joe,

I'm trying to figure out what fetish it is that makes you read Salon articles and then frequently post trolling letters to the editor without even subscribing?

I figure it's one of a few things:

1. It's a Salon.com employee subtly stoking arguments.

2. You're real and enjoy trolling the site but think you're sticking it to Salon by continuing to use their day pass feature. (More than one analyst has suggested that Salon move to a day-pass only model because it's much more profitable than the member option.)

3. You're real and post as a non-member because you don't want a record kept of all your posts. By being a subscriber, your words would be tied to a real person. Right now, being "joe" is one step removed from being completely anonymous. Using that moniker allows people to know that it's the same person (or people) without really giving away much else.

Whatever your motives and reasons for reading, posting, and hiding as you do, I'm at least glad that you've decided to frequent a news site with original reporting and commentary that offer a range of opinions.

Personally, I find most of your arguments to be childish, simplistic, and the product of someone who is more eager to get other readers mad than to contribute to thoughtful dialog. You're lucky that there are other posters here who will take the bait providing you with unending amusement, I'm sure.

Flame wars are easy and you're a good flame thrower. Let me be the first to welcome you to raise the bar of your dialog and say something that gets you noticed by the Editors. They're smart folks and they'll star your comment if it's insightful. Show us that your opinions are more than empty rhetoric and fact distortion. If you've got good ideas on why we're in Iraq, who "the terrorists" are, how to identify them or how to defeat them, let's hear them! If we're missing Bush's wit - a man who has read 60 books this year so far (3 of which were Shakespeares!) now's the perfect time to illuminate us.

The trolls are getting old. I'm only posting this to you now because if that's the best you've got, I'm disappointed. After all, you picked Salon to come back to day after day and I think that's a smart idea. Show us that your intellect doesn't begin and end there, that there's something else under the hood besides masturbation jokes. Dane Cook does a better job with them and according to Heather H., he's not even funny!

Feel free to write back if you'd like but it'll mean more if your future posts are something other than trolls.

Sincerely,

Sometimes War Room wastes time on little sucker punches like this, and surrounded by compelling information, it looks a little juvenile ("see! see! he doesn't care about the flag! he stepped on our flag!").

Stay focused, please.

I post here because I can. When I see an article as dumb as this one I don't think it requires more than the response I gave.

And why would you need to know background on me? Why should I have to be registered and tagged to voice an opinion? If you want to lock out an opposing viewpoint go right ahead.

I imagine you don't think my other posts are worthy of your high standards simply because I won't bend down and trash the administration or the country as much as you want me to.

I wear my non-star proudly.

That's kind of a bizarre floormat for someone to make anyway. I'm hoping this is photoshop Just because it wouldn't surprise you, doesn't mean its true. (seems fair though: like the Kerry on stage with Fonda thing).

DMB: You're right. I've been responding to Joe as if pointing out how inane his automatic defense of the administration was would actually make a difference. It never pays to feed the trolls. I'll just let him ramble to himself from here on out.
