This is well timed, one might think they'd restrain their hatred because of the kurtz column, but not a chance. Or maybe they tried but just couldn't resist. Besides, they have no idea there is anything wrong in this type of pathetic behaviour. Stinks like a palestinian sewer tsunami.
And that is the difference twixt them and us. Got it, howie?

right back at cha. Good job Charles

These people that make these comments are nothing but animals. Subhuman trash without feeling or common decency. They are with out doubt the bottom of the trash heap in this country.

ITT Fined for Release of NVG Technologies

Does anyone remember a flare up a while back about people having credit card information hi-jacked? I think it was by an overseas blogger, or imbed journo that noticed that his credit card was being used to order NVGs?

Anyone remember that?

Funny thing about Michael J. Fox.

My Neurosurgeon told me, after I'd commented about Fox in an article I'd been reading in the waiting room, something interesting.

a drug that had been widely abused out in CA about the time MJF was going great guns, caused in some cases early onset of Parkinson's. He speculated that fox had been a user of that drug, because of his age and the timing.

Every one of those commenters (listed above, and all who think as they do) deserves a fate far worse.

WaPo hosted Ted Rall for so long, the above (sick) comments must seem awfully tame.

I think the only truly angry letter to a newspaper I've written was to these jokers, asking whether or not they stood Rall behind calling Condi Rice a "house n*ggah". I got no response and my answer at the same time.

They don't even know how sick they are.

How's your circulation, how's your conscience?

Keep the posts up.

It shows who these people really are.

They also forget Clintons press sec is now a reporter on ABC (?) and they never bother to tell the viewer that they are getting their "news" from the Clinton Administration.

When the American president visits countries in South America, which is the backyard of the U.S.A, the peoples there welcome him by burning the American flag..."

"They threaten to impose sanctions on us. Sanctions cannot harm us. Haven't they imposed sanctions on us before? We achieved nuclear energy despite sanctions.

Ali Khamenei: "Pay attention. If they want to use threats, impose [their will], and act aggressively, they should have no doubt that the Iranian people and officials will confront the enemies that want to attack us, and will strike at them with all our capabilities."

The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman nor an empire. Yet even though Napoleon put it out of business, somehow, they're at fault for the Iraq war.

Rest assured, Kurtz is keeping every one of those readers after school for a good talking to.

to parpahrase one of those imbelic posters, i'm sorry i don't feel sad or sympathy for mindless assholes who are so totally consumed with bitterness, bile and sheer hatred that would in turn post such hateful rantings about someone they've never met who happens to be one of the nicest guys in public service, but I DON'T. in fact, i actually hope a karmic groundswell of misery and misfortune, pain and unspeakable agony, strikes those subhuman pondscum each & every remaining moment earth has the misfortune of having them as inhabitants. oh, and get well soon, tony!

These comments need to flood Kurtz's inbox until he gets it. He owes Charles an apology (laughing as I type that one, since even flying pigs couldn't make it happen).
I can't help comparing this situation to the reaction in the media (bow, scrape, ooh, ahh) when Howard Fineman was waging his battle with prostate cancer.

Leftists like Kurtz are forever trying to acheive a "moral equivelency".

The great, great majority of vile comments, are always made by leftists, who justify their behavior by playing some kind of victim.

If one group of people make 100,000 vile comments, and another group of people, who number 100,000 have 3-4 vile comments in that group, leftist like Kurtz try and fabricate some kind of moral equivelence between the two, when there clearly, not even remotely, is any.

Kurtz is a putz, plane and simple.

RE: Heads-Up!

"...Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post took a slap at LGF, labeling our commenters “vile,” equating them to the lunatics at Huffington Post, and suggesting that blog comments need better policing." -- Charles Johnson

Hey! I just saw something akin to this in a different venue. It was in the form of a warning that pols are not happy that McCain-Feingold is ineffective against the blogosphere. That we'd soon start seeing politicans call for McCain-Feingold be modified to apply to blogs as well as it's current lines of suppression.

Here's the citation....

While the Supreme Court has so far upheld the patently anti-Constitutional ban on advertising by citizens' groups 30 days before a primary and 60 days before a general election, the rise of Internet politics may eventually supercede this atrocity. Witness the anti-Hillary Clinton "1984" ad that caused such a stir on YouTube just last week. Such ads, cheaper than dirt (it costs money to distribute dirt, YouTube's free), will only be more important with every election cycle.

Source...

[Link: www.nysunpolitics.com...]

The point is that if the WaPo is beginning to say things like Kurtz said, we can likely expect other so-called 'mainstream' media saying much the same. After all, it WOULD cut down on the competition from the blogosphere.

And with a Democrat-controlled Congress, I can see it coming to pass, mis-using LGF as an example. Not to forget the current business involving Kathy Sierra.

Arabs offer peace to Israel, threaten dire consequences

RIYADH, March 27 (Reuters) - The Arab peace plan could be Israel's last chance to live in a "sea of peace" and should not be squandered, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday.

"This initiative simply says to Israel 'leave the occupied territories and you will live in a sea of peace that begins in Nouakchott and ends in Indonesia'," he said, referring to the Mauritanian capital in West Africa and the southeast Asian country that is the world's most populous Muslim country.

"If this initiative is destroyed, I don't believe there will be another opportunity in the future like this," he said in an interview with Reuters and two other news outlets.

........

"We have told the Americans to accept this government, this is the choice of the Palestinian people ... Palestinians have tolerated a year of isolation, and they cannot tolerate another year of such suffering," Abbas said.

"If the world deals with this government with rejection and isolation I think the repercussions will be very grave for the Palestinian people and the entire region..."

Hi ChenZhen. Where do you see the most hatred coming from? A particular side of the aisle or a specific blog maybe...?

While dumpster diving at WaPo may seem entertaining, I found this headline to be too rich to pass up:

Arab plan offers Israel "sea of peace" says Abbas

And if the headline wasn't rich enough, there's this bit:

"This initiative simply says to Israel 'leave the occupied territories and you will live in a sea of peace that begins in Nouakchott and ends in Indonesia'," he said, referring to the Mauritanian capital in West Africa and the southeast Asian country that is the world's most populous Muslim country.

"If this initiative is destroyed, I don't believe there will be another opportunity in the future like this," he said in an interview with Reuters and two other news outlets.

Sea of peace eh? Maybe that's because he's looking to drown the Israelis (or throw 'em back into the sea like the Arab legions of yore)? Why is it that the same metaphors keep cropping up /rhetorical device alert

Oh, and all the misery in the world is due to the fact that Israel hasn't capitulated to the Islamists' demands. Gotcha.

I'm surprised how many of these people managed to find religion in time to wish Tony ill in their comments - "Don't keep Satan waiting" "This is clearly a punishment from God for his sins" " I suspect God has grown disgusted with his double talk, and unleashed one of his minor angels." "it is an insult to GOD to own Zondervan Publishing Co. Tell m God told me that he need not change the BIBLE. You lying terrorist of decency, honor and integrity." So what awful sins did Mrs. Edwards commit to warrant her cancer, then?

University Gives Protestors 'Slap on the Wrist'

A number of students who rushed the stage during Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist's Oct. 4 speech at Columbia received letters yesterday informing them that they would be punished with "disciplinary warnings" for their conduct at the event.

Three students-one of whom received the verdict more than a month ago-confirmed yesterday that they were charged with simple violations of the University's Rules of Conduct. The resulting warnings, which will be notated on students' transcripts and remain there until the end of 2008, are the lowest of four possible outcomes for those found to be in violation of the rules. Disciplinary warnings place no financial or academic constraints on the person charged and state "that future violations will be treated more seriously."

"It's a light punishment, it's a slap on the wrist," Monique Dols, GS, who was given a disciplinary warning, said. "It's a victory for free speech and anti-racism."

#79 song_and_dance_man

I wonder what they had to say when Peter Jennings announced his cancer? Or Edwards' wife?

They said, "Well, no doubt the Rethugs and Christofascists are all dancing in the aisles."

Does it really come as a surprise that people would have strong opinions, one way or the other, about a political figurehead with a life-threatening disease?

I don't know Tony Snow personally, but there are certain life forms on this planet I also never knew personally, like Arafat - I couldn't have given two sh*ts whether he lived or died. Frankly, I preferred the latter. If he died of cancer it wouldn't pull my heartstrings any more than if he'd been hit by a bus. Oriana Fallaci I didn't know personally, either, but I didn't feel the same way about her cancer as, say, an asshole of the world having the disease. I do know this much: I don't keep Hallmark cards handy for every prick in the world that comes down with a deadly disease.

Are we more disturbed that people say things that seem heartless, or are we only concerned on a case-by-case basis, when the target of ill will seems like a decent person?

Kind of OT:
Liberal Algerian Daily Criticizes U.S. Anti-War Movement

In an opinion piece in the liberal Algerian daily Liberté, columnist Mustapha Hammouche criticizes what he sees as the simplistic populism of the anti-war movement in the U.S. He argues that the anti-war protests are primarily a result of nostalgia for the protest movement against the Vietnam War, and that they ignore the realities of the current war in Iraq – which, he says, has helped terrorism diminish Iraqis' hopes and has eroded their support for democracy.

The following are excerpts:(1)

"The Latest American Plan... is Aimed at Compensating for the Lack of Order Caused by the Sectarian Tendencies of Iraqi Policemen"

"Throughout the world, people are demonstrating against the occupation of Iraq, and especially in the United States, with an atmosphere of nostalgia for the mass marches of the 60s and 70s against the war in Vietnam...

"Four years after the invasion of Iraq, we see more fervor in condemning the American presence in Iraq than there was to keep it from intervening [in the first place]...

"In Iraq, the U.S. would not have to fight to remain if there weren't forces that are organized enough to force it into battle. The Iraqi government is not demanding the immediate departure of the coalition troops, and none of the parties present in Iraq, including those controlled or supported by Iran and Syria, have done anything to remove the American army's ultimate motive for remaining on Iraqi soil.

"The obscene behaviors that accompanied the execution of Saddam Hussein demonstrate that Iraqi institutions are incapable of guaranteeing the cohesion necessary for the country's stability. The bombings that strike the markets and places of worship express an irrepressible reciprocal aversion among the existing communities, and a desire to fight that the Iraqi state is not yet in a position to repress.

"The latest American plan, which aims to reinforce the military presence in Baghdad, is aimed at compensating for the lack of order caused by the sectarian tendencies of Iraqi policemen."

Terrorism is Aided by a Discourse that Promotes a Simplified and False Image of a War of Resistance

"In this war, which intertwines tribal score-settling, religious resentments, and foreign plans to destabilize [Iraq], the average Iraqi is aware of the fact that his immediate future is in jeopardy. He entertains no hopes – neither of reconstruction and quality of life, nor of political reform.

"He made this known in a poll recently conducted by American and British television, [which showed that] from November 2005-March 2007, the number of Iraqis supporting democracy fell by 14%, while the number of those who want a dictatorship or a theocracy increased by 8%. The violence has pushed more and more Iraqis to renounce the prospect of a democratic state and to express just the need for security. The same poll revealed that 86% of Iraqis fear for the security of their families, and want an authoritarian state.

"Terrorism has won, aided by a discourse that makes a multifaceted war – which intertwines religious civil war, clan war, transnational terrorism, and a war for influence – into a simplified and false image of a war of resistance.

"[Public] opinion likes simplification. Populism, which is becoming increasingly widespread, allows [public opinion] to avoid confronting the complexity of situations, and ignores those forces that entangle a coalition that should actually have gone home long ago.

"So, 'U.S. go home.' It's so simple! And [saying this] makes one 'with the weak and against the strong' – just like in the good old days of the Vietnam War, of non-alignment, of anti-imperialism, of balcony revolutionaries, of good music, and of hippies."

But to Howie this is all equal since we have not bowed down to Her Hillaryness and let her run things. Dems can delude themselves to the point that up is down, bad is good, and so forth.

#98 abu_garcia

The Palis seem to be missing the point when you democratically elect a group of terrorists to lead your government, they fact you elected them doesnt change the fact they are a bunch of murderous scum.

Remember: "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for"... says DNC Chairman Howard Dean. This sickness has infected the core of what was once the party of JFK.

I actually post at the WaPo and most other websites under various names such as Moonbatz1, Goreisgood, Bushisthedevilsstainedunderpants, etc. therefore if LGF posters are vile, so are theirs.

Hi ChenZhen. Where do you see the most hatred coming from? A particular side of the aisle or a specific blog maybe...?

It's everywhere. It's hard to say anywhere specific. Both sides have their share, IMO.

There is something about the Bush administration that brings out the ugliness in people, I'll admit. But wishing death on Tony Snow is just beyond the pale. I mean, if anyone has a halo in this administration, it's Tony.

Re: My #128:

heard and rate = heard and read

(Maybe I shouldn't have pushed that crayon quite so far up into my nose)

of course there is something wrong with America these days

it's called Civil War

in 2000 the right played by the rules
Fox had come into play with balanced reporting
showing the left and the right sides of stories/issues
and Americans, for the most part, chose the better candidates
the left lost, but barely
in 2004 the right still played by the rules
and managed to absorb the blows again
but in 2006 the left threw off the gloves or the pieces that were left of them, and began a scorched-earth, take-no-prisioners and vile campaign and what ?
they won both Houses of Congress
and yes, the MSM had a lot to do with this as they are the spokesmen for the left
but expect worse in 2008 since they stooped even lower in 2006 and the results they got show that grime pays

don't expect the left to get any nicer when playing hard and dirty seems to be working

Are those democrats? Or are they hard left Marxists, anarchists and assorted freaks? I'd say the latter.

We can't fix things by hating them back. I remember a time in my life when I was a self-pitying a**hole; don't you?

It isn't about hating them back, it's about identifying evil behaviour such as this, calling it out, and CONDEMNING it. And no, I was never a self pitying asshole..I certainly never had the near this attitude they did. I sat at a table that had about 6 of these vile foulmouthed sickos and let me tell you, if it ever came down to you having to hide from a truly evil person and these sickos knew where you were hiding, don't think for a second that they would not give you up to save their own skin. You can take that one to the bank.

Our society has failed to condemn this and has felt *sorry* for them....and this feeling sorry for them is why this has got so far out of hand imo. To put these vile sickos at just the level of ignorant I think makes it take longer to identifying and condemning the problem, especially to the level that it needs to be. These people know what they mean and mean what they say. Of course I see this daily in California...so I'm used to seeing this.

I reserve my pity to those who deserve it, not these type of people who back evil thoughts and deeds...no maam.

Oh, please.

The Democrats wouldn't have won both houses of Congress if a) our military involvement in Iraq was over by now as it was originally planned to be; and b) the GOP Congress wasn't spending money like drunken sailors and immersed in out-and-out corruption.
They turned off both Independent voters and even some Republican voters.

The first step in fixing a problem is to admit you've got a problem.

If the GOP doesn't admit they have any problems and continue to blame someone ELSE for the November 2006 electoral loss, THEN they will continue to do the same wrong things and continue to lose.

2. What is the endgame scenario? What milestones and conditions must be reached so that we can declare "success" and pull the troops out?

You're blind, zen. No sense arguing the point with you, either. If you can't see what's plainly in front of you, you are simply refusing to acknowledge the truth.

There is something about the left that I have always noticed.

If you are a liberal you are allowed to hate freely without any social consequences. In fact, your hatred can be seen as a badge of honor and courage. You just have to hate the right people. It is the perfect place for twisted individuals to fit in.

Say you hate certain groups or races and you know what people will think of you. Say you hate any of the groups it is politically correct to hate (Republicans, Christians, etc) and your cache goes way up. Then you can even be as condescending as you want and can treat as inferior any of the groups and races who you are not supposed to hate.

• High school dropout who just managed a GED 3 years later
• Lives with his parents, tried JC twice, dropped once, blew off the second.
• Spends most of his time in his room yelling “I AM looking for a job mom, Jezzzz!”
• Depends on his allowance for weed.
• A strong fantasy that starts when parents die leaving him the house, car and insurance.

Any person with one iota of military experience knows "The Plan" is the first thing to hit the garbage dump once the action begans. You may have heard some old military types say "It looked good on paper".
Why don't you check with Clinton and Weasley Calrke and see how long our troops were going to be in Bosnia/Croatia? I heard a rumor that they may finally all be withdrawn next year.

I agree that the Religicans had plenty of scandals but the left had plenty themselves. They just were not reported.

Including THE responsibility for not moving people in New Orleans to safety.

Then there is William Jefferson caught on tape taking a 100,000 bribe and other Nazicrats the wimps on the right failed to prosecute of get prosecuted.

I agree also that we could/should have been out of Iraq long ago but the blame in that might just lie in GWB taking the bullets away from his troops and then a heap of blame on the terrorist supporters in the media.

But I don't think the right can sit back and gloat over how nice they are while someone has their boot on their throats.

Playing nice has caused loss of life in Iraq and Afghanistan and has cause loss of power in America.

Being liberal requires more suspension of disbelief than most movie plots.

Reality has a conservative bias. It's just not a well-known fact.

Howard Kurtz has an interesting idea in his article:

“What is spreading this Web pollution is the widespread practice of allowing posters to spew their venom anonymously. If people's full names were required -- even though some might resort to aliases -- it would go a long way toward cleaning up the neighborhood.”

Shall we start with reporters? There’s a reporter (who?) who knew the name of the person who outed Valerie Plame; his refusal to name names caused what amounts to a witch-hunt. Doubtless, there are many more writers and reporters at the local level who, if they were to name names, would cause pedophiles and other criminals to be apprehended and convicted.

Alternatively, I should point out that his point “. . . -- even though some might resort to aliases . . .” should clue him (th’ thinker of this here idee) to immediately realize that his “idee” is a non-starter.

But then there was a recent (within the last 30 days IIRC; anyone retain a link?) study of profanity on several blogs. I recall that for every one on LGF, there were 40 or so on DU? Kos? (which one)? Judging by these and other excerpts from HuffPo, the Left has much more cleaning to do.

As a side note, The Jawa Report indicates that William Arkin is still writing for the Washington Post, and implicitly still being paid.

As I recall, adding up Mr. Arkin’s work experience time-line, Mr. Arkin might have achieved the rank of E-4 (“typist”. “filer of records” . . .) during his one tour of duty in the US Army (starting at age 18), not “experienced counter-intelligence officer” or equivalent.

There seems to be profile detected: a lack of ability, or credentials, or common sense, or something, among the writers at the WaPo, or a disinterest in same when the WaPo does its hiring.

But, to propose a viable solution (not just raise the consciousness of all to the need for a solution), to “. . . go a long way toward cleaning up the neighborhood.”, let me suggest that editors and publishers be named in all articles they review and authorize, and held accountable.

If there is indeed a need to cleanup the neighborhood, and editors and publishers really do review, critique, edit, and finally approve and publish articles (or disapprove; effectively, they are indeed the “gatekeepers” or "guards"), then the cleanup should start with them and their writers.

It seems that (to steal a line) “guarding the guards themselves” can be most entertaining.

You're back! Don't tell me if you've got a tan.

Jean Grey looks nice. But Emma Frost like naughty, which looks nicer.

But remember Kurtz's pass in the original column? He acknowedged that vile posts show up on WaPo's blog but maintained they don't have the resources to monitor the thing.

Charles, what exactly is the salary you pull for LGF? hmmm? I'd bet the ranch your database of threads and comments is much larger than WaPo's and your staff one hell of a lot smaller.

I really think these people are gluttons, selfish, self serving, jealous of power, hateful for no reason other than they think they are more important than anything else. I came to this conclusion after sitting among them and even watching my own sister spiral into it (my brother's been there for awhile at the bottom of the barrel). We need to condemn them...condemn them..and condemn them some more. Our very lives depend on being able to define them and do this.

I also notice people resist trying to *judge* others. Sure on some things that are personal, I agree, we shouldn't judge..but this not judging anything has helped lead to this state of affairs. Case in point, this whole crapping on the flag and burning the effigy of our soldier...some said to just ignore the behaviour. When you go shitting in public and starting fires in public, I think it's time for the public to judge and the laws say so already.

I really don't read Huffpo or Kos that much anymore, and I didn't say LGF.

Glad to hear that about kos & huffpo, but you didn't exclude LGF- you said it was both sides.

Tell me, would you have any sympathy for Ahmedinijad if he were diagnosed with liver cancer?

The more appropriate question would be, "would the Iranians have any more sympathy". Ahmedinijjad is not our president or member of our government. President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Mr Snow are our elected officials and fellow Americans. These liberals are spouting this hatred for their elected officials and fellow Americans.
Second point is Ahmedinijad has actually threatened the USA and our allies. President Bush, et al have not threatened the liberals with their eradication off the face of this earth.

Just a little difference between the two comparisons eh?

ec marm (#211),

No tan, been underground as it were. ;-)

It's everywhere. It's hard to say anywhere specific. Both sides have their share, IMO.

There is something about the Bush administration that brings out the ugliness in people, I'll admit. But wishing death on Tony Snow is just beyond the pale. I mean, if anyone has a halo in this administration, it's Tony.

Just realize, ChenZhen is a truther, and a modern liberal to boot.

ChenZhen knows something none of you will ever comprehend.

Recognize it is the administration that brings about the behaviour compelling the everyday person to join in a march, broad daylight, in front of children, and deficate on the flag of our country.

It is the same type of folks who can't stand to see another flag draped coffin.

It is not the responsibility of the people who perpitrate such acts.

No, it is someone else's fault.

Assclown.

Geepers- I've missed your ability to lay the smackdown on the mobys. Welcome back!

Charles, you not only made your point .. you made it with positively stupendous brilliance! Ta dum.

Howard Kurtz choose my blog as a representative of all right leaning opinion less than four days after I started it. I have no clue how he chose it, but it was good enough for him. He took a lot of heat because of choosing "Astroturf" blogs (fake grass roots). A parody of his response to using freshly minted blogs was posted on News Corpse recently.

He's not making friends on either side of the fence nowadays.

I think we'll see their talk turn into their action, in due time. That's how it starts, talking trash. From there it goes on to violence.

What is the endgame scenario? What milestones and conditions must be reached so that we can declare "success" and pull the troops out?

Because I'll tell you what is unacceptable: Keeping our troops there indefinitely, getting shot at (and even shot) month after month, year after year, for who knows how many years, with no endgame in sight.

This question has been answered more than a few times. When the government can assume full control of the sectarian violence. We can't pull out in the middle of chaos. We did not create the chaos. Interference from Islamic nations and self proclaimed martyrs that flocked to the area created the problem. We could possibly have anticipated a Shiite/Sunni free for all and threw in a massive surge to start with.
I realize this doesn't fit in with your instant oatmeal, X-box mentality where everything happens in an instant. No war, or more precisely, occupation and re-training of the nations miltary/police have happened quickly. Allied troops were still being shot at in Germany even up to 1950 by die hards. The last Japanese soldier surrendered in the 70s. The occupation of the South is still remembered and violence occured for decades afterwards.

Hey Sharmuta!

Out of the hole for a minute anyway. Just checking to see if we're going to have six more weeks of snow (jobs) or an early spring.

As American citizens, we have a RIGHT to know the length and depth of our commitment there that Bush has signed us up for.

/no more free rides without questioning

Just how fucking stupid do you think we are? Or is that projection.

An interesting thing about the doctrine of hate these days...
I have many western Buddhist friends and they are deep into the "hate Bush" syndrome. They rant and rave and never ever see the contradiction between what they're saying and the basic tenets of the true religion of peace, where they are supposed to actively practice getting rid of anger and its attendent emotion, hate, and replace it with love and kindness.

'Leftism' trumps Buddhism in the new world order.

Wow...I wish I could have a few moments alone with those posters. The old term "attitude adjustment" comes to mind.

Thank You for straightening out this child....you saved me alot of typing.

#235 Chuck. How right you may be. Being an old woman and civil rights worker in the South, I say the movement go down the toilet, flushed by the lefties and anarchists. In a short time, the Black Panthers and their spin-offs turned to violence and murder and then came the Weathermen. It's built into their basic belief structure.

The quote thingie doesn't seem to be working for me.

As American citizens, we have a RIGHT to know the length and depth of our commitment there that Bush has signed us up for.

The desired outcome for Iraq has been stated many times. A stable situation that the Iraqis can maintain.

How long will that take? Don't know. Can't really predict it. Sorry if it is not the answer you're looking for.

As for the RIGHT to know? I've perused papers from the WWII timeframe. No one seemed to know how long the battles were going to last, or if they would be won. I don't recall seeing any timelines published for D-Day.

One thing that history seems to indicate is that the prosecution of the Iraqi war has been far less vigorous than it should have been.

As conditions in WWII seem to point out, the populace has a very difficult time causing problems when they have been bombed nearly to extinction.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, the former Axis powers aren't doing so bad after 60 years. Must be our occupation troops keeping them in line. /sarc

Those people are vile. I need more blood pressure medicine.
I'm saying rosary for Tony.

#97 NY Nana:

Those comments, and the ones I saw on AOL make me wonder at what point the Dems and L3's had surgery to remove their hearts, and leave a cold, dead black hole in it's place.

In college.

There, they were carefully taught by their professors that conservatives are EVIL and deserve no consideration as human beings.

Tell me, would you have any sympathy for Ahmedinijad if he were diagnosed with liver cancer?

Dude, you just equated Tony Snow with a genocidal maniac?

WTF?

Hey, you're smarter than me.

I love this comment:

This will be a big party, the only one bigger at this time would be for the utter and complete distruction of israel via Iranian nuclear tipped missles

Now, I'm not often driven to the thought of murder, but I could heartily endorse having this moron's head quickly transformerd into a bloody, ruined mess. I would feel no regret, pity or genuine remorse. Not a bit.

#242 Song_and_Dance_man

Thanks for posting that speech. I kept meaning to look it up and copy it. I knew President Bush had said it would be a long, hard fight, but I couldn't remember the particular speech.

The enemy in Iraq is now in full case, the terrorist. No longer merely an insurgent that is fighting for the old regime, they come from all over the world to stop a government that may show any semblence to democracy in any form. Many of the governments surrounding Iraq have no desire to see an elected form of government installed and functioning. The House of Saud is a good example while Iran and Syria, among others for sure do not want a democratic form of government. They feel it is bad enough they have the Israels example of a democracy to contend with.

#236 Outrider

I wasn't copying! Honest. My connection has been flaky as heck. Took me forever to get that post up.

Gotta love this one-

""I feel nothing for this man and its sad. Bush has polarized this country to the point where I just hate Republicans and I wish I didnt, but its to late.""

Bush did? Um...excuse me you miserable piece of shit. You asshats on the left started this the minute that empty suit Al Bore lost the election. America spoke, you scumbags didn't like it, and then accussed bush of trying to steal the election. Of course it didn't stop there, you tied it up in the courts, threw the country into chaos to where the stock market started going to shit, then blamed bush for the economy.

Then of course he won again 4 years later and america spoke again because you ran yet another self rightious asshole, only this time with a nice slice of traitorous scumbag in the mix, and you bastards still thought YOU knew better after your asses got kicked.

Meanwhile, during all this a time portal opens up and a barbaric army of darkness from the 7th century emerges from it and tries to sweep across the globe killing all in their path that don't bow down to them and their f*cked up god and you assholes STILL don't get it.

The only thing that polarized this country is the sad fact that you leftist swine assmunches don't all live on your own exclusive continent and an asteroid hasn't done humanity the favor of slamming into your silly ass at 50,000 MPH pushing your worthless corpses 20 miles into the earth's crust finally ridding the planet of this ball cancer known as "the left", and leaving the rest of humanity intact to take care of business without having to deal with you little yapping socialist poodles biting at the heals of braver men than yourself who are actually trying to save the world from darkness. Not imagined boogymen that you leftist garbage have.

Beasts, utter beasts. If they ever had souls they are long since gone. Beasts.

Beastophobia! Beastophobia!

I demand lots of cool drugs and a government grant right now! If the grant is big enough, forget the drugs. If the drugs are cool enough, I'll forget the grant and everybody wins...except for the losers at the Washington Post.

God bless Mr. Snow and Mrs Edwards and thank you, Charles, for Little Green Footballs.

Please send Tony and his family "well wishes" in c/o the White House. They are genuinely good and decent people and would appreciate the support.

I won't bother commenting about these evil-doers on the left. It ain't worth the effort to ingratiate their dopey comments.

Bill at INDC has a really good report on his embed experience. Here is a snip:

Looking at kids clarified this aspect of the struggle. That - whether it's well-timed withdrawal with advisorship or continuing an active American role in the fight - the US has a responsibility to shun political expediency and honestly analyze and execute what is best for these people and what is best for our national interest, because in this case, to some degree, they intersect. The Saddam Hussein era was its own brand of terror, but we've altered Iraq and promised its citizens a shot at something better. Thus, to leave innocent Iraqis to the whim of the worst gangsters vying for power before they acquire the mojo to sustain a fight for stability ... well, let's just say that seems like a pretty tough call to me.

Still waiting persistor....

okay, this is totally ridiculous and hypocritical of the Left.

Its always good and fine and dnady when some raving stark mad Leftits goes on a rant that would make Charles Manson whince about wanting Tony Snow to die a long painfull death or for Cheney to die from that bloodclot he had in his leg. Oh thats all just wonderfull with butterflies according to those Lefty idiots.

Im sick and tired of them all. Why dont you America haters and those who hate being an American and seem to not like having all these rights, move to Iran and see how you like it there with NO rights what so ever, except for the ones the Mullahs say you can enjoy. Do us all that little favor and we all win out in the end.

Oh, by the way, bite me. Lefties.

Where the hell are these people coming from?

Hey, I'm not a Bush administration fan either. But this guy is only the messenger, people!

What scum.....

The leftist blogs are the right's most potent weapon, just leave it alone Lizards!

Lizardom can handle any comparison to a leftist site, including obviously the WaPo's own (I love it Charles, that's gotta sting!). When you don't have truth on your side to begin with you don't have much to work with.

Poor Howie, hangin bare-assed to the wind on the Net's most popular blogsortium!

Woohooo! WaPo is pwned, for eternity!

. Persistor is a frickin lib that "plays a conservative" on LGF.
He is a moby. Hence the moral equivalence statement only a true lib would spew.
Kos promised to wake his sleeper cells over here after getting his diaper in a wad a week or two ago after getting ripped for one of his nasty posts on his site. He blamed it on LGF setting him up. There appears to be a few new moby types around lately.

Ok, grabbing a breath! Turning blue here.

/Was waiting breathlessly for Beuller's explanation.

The other day on conservative talk radio I heard Laura Ingraham, Micheal Medved and Dennis Prager mention how badly they felt for Elizabeth Edwards and that she was in their prayers.

No website with a comment section is responsible for every crackpot poster, and LGF has had a few of those, however, as a general rule, conservatives can distinguish the evil (Arafat, Saddam) from those they disagree with (Elizabeth Edwards). The left is incapable of doing this, and attribute evil to those they disagree with (Tony Snow) while celebrating the truly evil like Arafat.

I've supported Democrats before.

In 1996, I voted for Clinton, not Dole. Dole really turned me off with his old-timer nostalgia for a vanished American past. Clinton was smart enough to know that Americans are a forward-looking people--with the 21st century only 5 years away, Americans like me wanted to hear about that future, not how idyllic the 1950's allegedly were.

Love that one.

Gee. Big surpise.

Typical leftist scumbags…

When not continuously touting the Marxist line, they are off spilling malicious bile at anyone on the right who is in a mortal threat…the troops, Tony Snow, America…

I am sick and tired of these sycophants, these layabouts in lace, these pitiful citizens who spout the joys of human “rights” with one side of their mouth, and gleefully degrade, defame, and destroy fellow humans with the other side. All because some of us here in the world don’t agree with their Marxist, anti-Semitic, non-idiotarian group think…

A man faces one of the hardest, challenging, anguishing points of his life…

A practical Death sentence…

But yet, the ones who have a virtual lockdown on “kindness to others”

Spit on him, and tell that they will dance on his preverbal grace…

Ah, the moral superiority of the left, reaching out a peaceful hand to terrorists, casting death wish spells on a decent man like Tony Snow.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

As the Wiccans say - Mind the Threefold Law ye should - Three times bad an’ three times good.

Other ways of saying this: what goes around comes around; do unto others as you would have them do unto you; payback's a bitch; the Golden Rule; karma.

I see a basic lack of not just humanity in the preponderance of negative remarks coming from the leftists - I see a true lack of understanding of the very real law of reciprocity.
