Umm...okay, then.

Like, who cares?

Hey sweetie, coming from you, it means nothing.

Strange people.

Who, exactly, writes these posts for digg? Is this just some random person registered with Digg?

Charles! Where's my check?!

Just ignore the little man behind the curtains at Digg Inc.

profiteers of divisiveness, xenophobia, irrational paranoia, misinformation

Rotating title nomination.

I think it's just some random person, period. One of those half-human/half-camel experiments, perhaps?

1 hour, 13 minutes and three measly comments on that DIGG thread. LGF gets, what, a hundred a minute?

"None of you homos touch my stuff! And don't call me Frances."

But then again I hate all profiteers of divisiveness, xenophobia, irrational paranoia, misinformation and basically anybody who knowingly makes the world a stupider place to live in for profit.

So is it safe to assume that he hates Arafat and Nasrallah, too?

Charles, let it be known publicly that I profit greatly on an intellectual level from your "divisiveness, xenophobia, irrational paranoia, [and] misinformation."

I proclaim this loudly from the mountaintops of freedom and liberty.

Who's Frances?

Po' widdle babies got their widdle noses bent outta shape.

Intellectual infants.

But then again I hate all profiteers of divisiveness, xenophobia, irrational paranoia, misinformation and basically anybody who knowingly makes the world a stupider place to live in for profit

This longtime Lizard agrees wholeheartedly. Too bad Digg is the lefts' Porta Pottie. Drop in and pee.

Frances

Is that the plural of France or a name?

re: #13 Fenway_Nation

So is it safe to assume that he hates Arafat and Nasrallah, too?

"Resistance heroes".

Ain't public education grand?

I don't get it. Does anyone get it?

Plus I really don't understand why so many people use the word "suck" as an epithet but like being sucked.

re: #15 MandyManners

LMAO!

re: #18 x-ray

I hope it's a name since I don't want to think of a world with more than one France.

re: #15 MandyManners

Who's Frances?

The irony in this is that this person accuses of lgf of profiting off of divisiveness when in actuality it profits off of those who oppose terrorism and this one post is profiting off of hating people for practicing their freedom of speech. One is legit, the other is the rant of some random idiot.

We should do this to the dumbo at Digg.

Lefty loves to hate.
I see that word all over the Leftosphere. They 'hate' this, they 'hate' that.

They 'hate' just about everything!

I hardly ever see that word bandied about here at LGF. We disagree with positions, policies, and certain ideologies....but rarely do we ever 'hate' someone or something.
Lefty's heart is filled with hate....it must really suck to be them.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Twitter 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous digging.

And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

No more; and by a dig to say we end
the heart-ache and the thousand natural digs
That flesh is heir to, "tis a diggumation
devoutly to be wish'd. To die. To dig.

I think he ran for the senates once and lost.

The "WTF?!" part I added is because Paul is a congressman. A point that young lady would likely be aware of if she ever bothered to "RTFA" instead of just mindlessly "Digging" them.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against an Algerian convicted of conspiring to detonate explosives at Los Angeles International Airport during the millenium holiday travel rush.

In its 8-1 decision, the court upheld Ahmed Ressam's conviction on an explosives charge, one of nine convictions that resulted in a 22-year prison sentence. At issue was whether Ressam should be convicted of carrying explosives during the commission of another serious crime, in Ressam's case, lying on a U.S. Customs form when he crossed the border in December 1999.

re: #103 Sarge1984

I think this is the first peeing thread I've seen on here...

On that subject:

6:28 p.m. A man who complained that he’d been assaulted and his backpack stolen at an I Street store was no day at the beach himself, with his mohawk hairdo, blue trench coat and verbally abusive comments. He wasn’t helpful in resolving the complaint, and was asked to leave.

9:29 p.m. In the same parking lot, two booze-emboldened men harassed passing women, setting a bad example for their canine companion. Then they wandered on.

9:33 p.m. Maybe it was the same free-lance theoretical physicists, who, just minutes later, performed practical experimentation with fluid dynamics against the wall of an antiquarian bookstore in the 1000 block of H Street.

Heh.

Souter, the Gay Priest, and Breyer, the Quilty White Richman, are really intellectually challenged. That is why they constantly stretch the legal envelope to include their proclivities.

It's refreshing how so many folks here can keep a cool head in the face of such hate, paraded as some kind of perverted love.

In regards to this Digg post, as many have in other words communicated, it's the textbook case of accusing another party of your own crimes. Divisiveness, xenophobia, irrational paranoia, misinformation?

re: #187 MandyManners

One related point from Richard Landes (in the books spinoff link above).

"This absolutizing of cultural diversity, in which any criticism of another culture’s values becomes a form of racism is one of the great failures of “progressive” thought, and I do think a significant role can be attributed to Edward Said’s Orientalism in which any form of “othering” is a form of racism. This is particularly true of any discussion of honor-shame culture, which in turn makes any condemnation of honor-killing problematic. And, of course, since no progressive can possibly support honor-killings — especially feminists — it most often elicits a deafening silence."

OK, who's fluent in French idioms?

I just came into possession of a cute tea cup from France that has this phrase on it:

"Le plus fort l'emporte"

Direct literal translations ("The strongest carries it") don't exactly make sense. My best guess is that it is an idiomatic expression that means basically "The strongest prevail." It's a commemorative cup from the French bicentennial in 1989, so I suspect it was a famous Revolutionary slogan from 1789. Hmmm.

Anyway, hoping some native Francophone here can set me straight. My high-school French has failed me yet again.

The people were so fine.

re: #176 realwest

I'm not sure why, but you're certainly right about lefty hating freedom - for everyone else, anyway. And a typical lefties concern for poor, hungry, suffering people in Africa or other "Third-World" places is about level to cow-piss on a flat rock.
All Lefty really want's is POWER and will do ANYTHING to get it.

Freedom isn't free and the current crop of lefties will only sacrifice others too attain power.

I think that may be why they hate the military so much. Soldiers put their own lives on the line for their ideals. Leftists and Fascists brainwash others to die for their ideals.

Hey Mandy, how does one find your blog?

Not for a long time.

The AP and AD ("Arab Dictators") play from the same playbook: When in doubt, mention/blame Israel.

Reminds me of an story I once heard that I will give the shortest version of. Dean of Harvard is complaining that the Jews are all sharing notes, and thus need to be kicked out of school. Another faculty member exclaims "but ALL students share notes" The Dean quickly screams back "we aren't talking about ALL students...we are talking about the JEWS!"

re: #215 jaunte Hi juante my friend - yeah I like that a lot too (and thanked Mandy for it somewhere up thread). He may very well be a moonbat, but he at least used to be able to really write and was ok at singing songs.
I saw him perform that once in concert with Maurice Williams (of Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs) who did the original "Stay" - really great stuff!

OT, but I just went to Greta Van Susterns blog to participate in a poll she just mentioned on Fox, and clicked on the blog. Check out the first post, it is interesting.

re: #185 jaunte

One thing I've found that helps is to just get rid of the television.
It is good to have this place to come and vent, and discuss, and get news and opinion.

I have found life much improved without television. I still have one, for watching movies, and maybe some sports. I guess I'll watch the conventions and election returns on it too, but I really don't miss tv.

I got bounced off Kos for calling Ted Kennedy an ass - on his very own thread, no less.

Just the same, I wish him a speedy recovery.

I haven't scooted since Wednesday night. I was in motorcycle riding class all weekend - so I was on a real bike. Going to get my motorcycle endorsement in the morning, and now I'm starting to think about buying a motorcycle, maybe this one.

re: #200 x-ray

I think that may be why they hate the military so much. Soldiers put their own lives on the line for their ideals. Leftists and Fascists brainwash others to die for their ideals.

The Citizen Soldier of a free nation is living proof that the ideology and worldview of the Leftist is wrong. The Leftist wants to believe that a soldier is an essentially mindless thug who robotically obeys their political masters regardless of the consequences. In fact it is the mindless thug that the Leftists (and parasites in general) needs in order to inflict their will upon their productive subjects.

The Soldier on the other hand must be actively conscious in order to survive on the battlefield and carry out his mission. Every one of them, from the individual rifleman to the commanding general must constantly perform the Boyd Cycle, the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act loop, as quickly as possible in the course of the conflict.

The Soldier, being mentally active as a virtue, can see through the reams of nonsense emitted by the Leftist demagogue. And is thus feared and hated by the Left in general.

The Thug on the other hand may be useful to the Leftist ruler but is utterly useless on the battlefield.

(BTW, I happen to agree with Dr. John Ray that Leftists and Fascists are essentially two versions of the same thing.)

re: #235 Slumbering Behemoth

It's about the T and V, but I suppose the same argument could be made about computers.

The argument for computer being like tv only goes so far though. I remember hearing about a study where parts of the brain were measured for use- one area of the brain was used for reading and radio, where another part was used for tv. Tv is more passive, where reading and radio were more stimulating, because the imagination has to be used to visualize what the brain is taking in. To that extent, computers are less like tv, and more like radio. But I suppose if you did nothing on your computer but watch videos from youtube, then yeah- the computer would be not much different than tv.

It's what you get when you ride a tractor all day. Didn't google so I may be wrong on origin.

re: #241 realwest

I don't know if it's entirely true, but what I have heard is that the red clay soil in the South tends to leave a "red" stain on the necks of farmers in that region. I try not to use this term pejoratively, and I'm sure I'm wrong but I thought it might be worth a shot.

re: #238 The Other Les

Which is why, though Americas record is young it has not lost a war militarily ever. The numbers of soldiers have shrunk over time but their mass has grown.

And by mass I mean E=MC squared. There is no equal to the mass they project.

Intrepid, both of my maternal grandparents were named Such.

Yikes! Mayhaps things were a bit confusing around their house!

re: #242 CapeCoddah
Nope, good guess though - apparently in the late 1870's or maybe late 1890's a coal miner who's name was Bill Blizzard was working in a union coal mine in northwest West Virginia and had heard about all the deaths, injuries, company stores and shit going on in south east Virgina, where the Owners of the coal mines refused to allow workers to unionize. So he organized a "militia" of about 2,000 union coal miners to go down to the southeast part of the state with the idea of compelling Coal Mine owner's to allow unionization.
Said Coal Mine Owner's hired around 3,000 professional gunmen to stop them at the top of a hill in the middle of a forest.
Blizzard had his men wear red handkerchiefs around their necks so they wouldn't accidentally shoot each other!
Got it from a documentary called "Hillbilly's The Real Story" on the History Channel tonight - about the Scots-Irish who pushed into Appalachia and settled it. Good show, too.

And also the fact that Citizen Soldier's basic mission is the defense of the existing society. Leftists of course feel threatened by this.
