Didn't the police just agree to pay 100,000 pounds for offending the fascist Islamists in the undercover mosque investigation?
apparently broadcasting and investigating people who say they want to kill you is very bad form in Red Ken's England
She cuts to the chase:
a) he has tried to conceal them and
b) that he has a puzzling number of indirect connections with radical Islamists or their supporters.
It doesn't matter that he associates with scum, has no experience, speaks alternately nonsense and lies, doesn't have the best interest of most Americans in mind only African-Americans, or anything else.
Moonbat: "He has a "D" after his name, and he speaks so well, and... oooh there's something shiny on the ground"
As I have already said -- but let me repeat very slowly for those suffering from Princess Obama Derangement Syndrome – the concerns about Obama’s Muslim antecedents arise from the fact that a) he has tried to conceal them and b) that he has a puzzling number of indirect connections with radical Islamists or their supporters.
I have lived through the cold war & our hot wars to stop agessive Communism.
The Obama thing is the most dangerous threat, that I have seen to our country. It is coming from within.
Think about it, he has a columnist calling him a lightworker & a celestial being & many of our fellow Americans agreeing.
This is very dangerous because I do not believe that Obama favors America. Think about it, the president of France would be more pro American than the U.S Prsident!
Part of the attraction to Obama is that he won't hold anyone on the left accountable for anything - and they know that - so they adore him for his total acceptance of all their dysfunctionality - no judgment.
The Right represents accountability and rewards based on merit - that's "heavy man."
BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza Strip - An Israeli envoy engaging in Gaza cease-fire talks returned without a deal late Thursday, after another day of bloodshed in the coastal territory that included seven Palestinians being killed in a house explosion that Hamas blamed on an accident.

When an explosion flattened a house in the Gaza Strip and killed seven, Hamas blamed Israel and unleashed rockets and mortar shells at southern Israel. But the militant group, which has controlled Gaza the past year, later suggested the blast was accidental.
It's worse. Diana was never shooting for Commander in Chief
Look, God rest her soul. Diana was just a sillytwit.
Obama is a profond threat. He really has to be stopped.
McCain has to take off the gloves.
Hope & Change is so far working. People are not looking beyond
Not sure. They have mentioned how very corrupted Chicago politics is. And he is part of the Chicago machine.
Obama's rise through the Chicago "machine" is well documented.
Put pinning dirt on him from it isn't necessarily going to be easy or even possible.
After the "Whitey" hoax, I'd be pretty skeptical of claims of impending scandal.
Another long-time LGF poster has come out as a fascist sympathizer tonight, and is no longer welcome at my site. It takes a long time to flush out these creeps, unfortunately.
And it makes no sense at all, unless they feel that being "elites" that the obamaster will exempt them from new rules that will make political correctness look like child's play
We are living in dangerous times when the imaginations of leftists about Bush is believed to be the truth more than the known,provable facts about Obama. The left believes more strongly in the genuineness of the Rather memo than it does in the threat of our nation to terrorists. Idiots. Obama truly has become the lefts (as Marylin Manson would say) Own Personal Jesus. Obama has reached a ridiculous god like status with many on the left where questioning Obama's words or actions is equated with racism and blasphemy. There is going to come a very shocking awakening for many people when the poo-poo hits the spinning blades.
People neither know nor care what sort of change they are hoping/voting for.
Agreed, but there are future generations that will pay for obamas election. He and his wife want to punish America.
This is all as serious as a heart attack
But all of this is beside the point. Regardless of whether one's
conservatism runs to modern American (Johnson), traditionalist American (Auster), traditionalist European (Belien) or a more American-type European conservatism (Ali) the fact is that all share a common platform.
Agreed, but there are future generations that will pay for obamas election. He and his wife want to punish America.
This is all as serious as a heart attack
You'll get no argument from me. I've made my McCain donation and will be volunteering any way I am able. I've been vocal about my concerns where I am able
If I had the Obama campaign's money and staff, this wouldn't be a problem.
(You realize I was joking, of course).
/What, you'd run background checks on every hatchling?
Seriously, I don't see this as a problem.
Despite the lack of a ten figure budget, you seem to be doing a much better job at vetting than Senator Hope and Change.
I respected Princess Dianna. I have no respect for obama.
Whatever the Princess' faults- she was trying, in her way, to do good- mostly for children. And iirc, she was one of the first people to show decency and kindness to AIDS patients. I'll never forget the photograph of her at the hospital holding the hand of and AIDS patient, and what kind of sensation it sent around the world.
On the other hand- what the hell has obama done to improve the lives of children or the sick- or anyone for that matter? There are blogs on myobama calling for cuts in AIDS spending. He's an empty suit whose done nothing but better his own lot in life, whereas the Princess took her lot in life and used it as a pulpit to try to help others.
Other than the media love-fest, these two people really have nothing in common.

With this guy's lurid background ceaselessly streaming out for the past few months, he is still standing strong. He's got to be the ultimate teflon candidate. And what better sign that his popularity among supporters cannot be in any way be based on rational thought?

Good for you. However the elites think that we are just hateful & hysterical.
re: #43 looking closely
At this point he could kick puppies on tv and the media would cover up for him, so I agree with your skepticism. The Rezko trial should have been very big news and it's hushed up by the MSM.
I do believe there is more to come out on him, though. Look at this past week, Charles posting of who and what is on his presidential website, Jim Johnson, and the connections to Soros. That's just one week.

Agreed. No matter how often she stumbled or the royals knocked her down she'd get back up again until she was standing taller than the whole lot.
The Obama mania is very different. It is the product of mass evasion of facts and could lead to a catastrophe for our nation.
Grass Roots Texas Republicans are calling for the heads of Texas Republican Leadership.
...that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...
We live again in an era where the Forms of Government themselves are under attack. Not only do we battle against special-interest legislation, activist judges, and executive orders, we now have begun to battle the forces of relativism and totalitarianism taking root in our own Party. The basic principles of debate and Republican government are under assault.
...to prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world:
Democrat victories and Republican voter dissatisfaction are putting the Republican majorities in Texas more at risk than they have been in years
Meanwhile, Party leadership appears to be going out of its way to ignore these problems, while working to exclude desperately needed new voters and volunteers
In the most extreme cases, Party officials allegedly added unelected delegates to the rolls at county conventions, disenfranchising local Republican voters, and then removed those who objected
State Party leadership has responded to these and other challenges with further exclusionary tactics, a disturbing lack of transparency, and frank refusal to simply agree to abide by Party Rules and State Election Law at the upcoming Convention
These realities have once again led some to call for the current Forms to be "altered or abolished." We in the Republican Party, however, know there is no need to abolish these Forms, only to return to them. By the grace of God, the Founders and Custodians of both our Country and our Party provided us with Forms adequate to "establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Our Constitution, the laws of the State of Texas, and the Rules of the Republican Party of Texas provide more than adequate protection for the people's ability to demand accountability from their officials. This is true from the First Amendment's guarantee of "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances," to the Republican Party of Texas' recognition that "it is we who defend the embattled traditions that made our nation the greatest in all recorded history." All that is required is that We the People take hold of our responsibilities and assert ourselves as heirs to the Constitutional Federal Republic that so many others fought and died to create and sustain.
Elite has never equaled intelligent or well-informed
Right, but right now they are carrying the day. It needs to be reversed.
We are in serious trouble. This man is a ridiculous movement.
He must be stopped. McCain must go after him.
At this point he could kick puppies on tv and the media would cover up for him, so I agree with your skepticism. The Rezko trial should have been very big news and it's hushed up by the MSM.
They'd write. "Obama Pre-Emptively Protects Fuzzy Kittens", followed by "Bush Feeds Kitten Killers", and "McCain:Following in Bush's Footsteps?" on the editorial page.

And in one of your recent comments at LGF, you were defending the Eurofascist site Brussels Journal. You ignored my question about it. Would you like to answer now?
I do believe there is more to come out on him, though. Look at this past week, Charles posting of who and what is on his presidential website, Jim Johnson, and the connections to Soros. That's just one week.
To the extent that Obama's website reflects on him personally, its not to his personal history, but rather to his lack of oversight.
I think the obsession with finding "dirt" isn't likely to be helpful here. Again, clearly, I'm no fan of Obama, but realistically, there probably isn't all that much more "serious" dirt to dig up on him. He's admitted to drug use. His bosom pals are crooks, racists, and terrorists. . .what else is there?
I think the way to ensure Obama's loss is to simply expose the bankruptcy of his ideas. Sure, there will always be people who will vote for him because of identity politics, or because of party loyalty, etc. But the same will be true for McCain. The idea is to swing the FEW "undecideds" in the middle, and get the ones that do have convictions to actually show up and vote.
The way to hurt Obama the worst is to put him in a situation where he has to provide unscripted answers to real policy questions.
I think this is like the Viet Nam protest hysteria, based on slogans not substance. And a lot of damage was done.
There was nothing too vile that the Left would not say about the troops in Viet Nam. They are now after our people in Iraq.
Their champion is Barack Hussein. It is beyond bizzare.
Thanks also to I forget who posted the Simon & Garfunkel "Dangling Conversation" on the other thread. As PS once said, "Still, tomorrow's gonna be another workin' day/ and I'm tryin' to get some rest... "

Yep. I know an otherwise reasonable financial professional who plans to vote Obama because of FLorida 2000! Talk about foolish anger.
Right , the election was stolen. My moonbat neice was screaming that the election was stolen.
When I pointed out that the NY Times went to Florida & confirmed that bush won, it didn'y mattter.

Yo, Lizards. I am away from my normal environs, at a family reunion way up in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. Got a nice little cabin rented out Sevierville. Lo and behold, I have the tiniest little wifi signal. I have no idea where it came from and I certainly don't deserve and it could go away at any second.
But, the sentiment back East seems to be that Obama is going to run away with this election. John McC just seems to have too many fences to mend.
I have never heard that one. But then I cancelled my subscription ages ago. Last time I was in Manhattan, I saw someone trying to sell NYT subsciptions at a flea market table. People were buying cannolis and candles instead.
LGF py tracking down on the right, thread tracking up on the left, Peter Gabriel hopping around at 1 o'clock. The room looks like Manhattan traffic in Koyaanisquatsi.

I was there last month...we had a mama bear and two cubs one evening come into the yard (well, steep slopes could hardly be called a yard, but you get the picture) and each evening at 7:30 a turkey would make his way down the hill.
The reason why Melanie Philips's column will mean nothing to the average "liberal" is that they really believe the ugly slogan,
NO ENEMIES TO THE LEFT.
The reason why Charles is shaking fascist sympathizers out of the trees is that lizards do NOT believe there are no enemies to the "right."
His base may not care about his slimy friends and their slimy behavior - but independents do.
Agreed, though the number of true "independents" is actually pretty small. (There are many more people who call themselves "independent" than actually are potentially likely to swing either way in an election).
Most of the "trick" in winning elections is motivating the voters who are inclined to go your way to actually do so. (Natrually, in Chicago, that includes dead voters).
Sliming Obama could help to the extent that it motivates people who otherwise were inclined to vote for McCain to actually get off their butts and do so.
I tend to think that exposing how disastrous Obama would be in terms of foreign policy, the judiciary, and especially taxes, would be such a motivator, better than showing that he likes to hang out with unrepentant leftist terrorists, for example.
As a candidate running for president, he has shown incredibly poor judgment on so many things. I shudder to think of the likes of Ayres, Rev. Wright, and the rest of his buddies spending time in the White House. I shudder to think of the people he has listed as possibilities for his cabinet. I also think that his website reflects who he tolerates. Can you imagine if McCain had David Duke's blog on his presidential website?!
I hear that you see it differently, and that's fine. I think we both agree that he is not US Presidential material. And I completely agree with you about getting him off the teleprompter - what a mess he is then.

Interesting contrast.
I appreciate that you put "right" in "quotes." Although I haven't read Goldberg's book, I've thought for many decades that we're essentially talking about collectivists vs. individualists and there's no question where national socialism falls on that scale.

You forgot about his preference for high gas prices - I think that will be the real kicker in a few months time for most American families.
Yet many lefty types I know in the wilds of Brooklyn seem to think that McCain will run roughshod over Obama, and are most morose about it.
The American people--and even the Democratic Party--have the chance to sober up and come to their senses before slathering the anointing oil on the Waffle Man.
I hope they are morose for a very good reason and that Americans will not abandon good sense and choose the O-men

i love melanie phillips. her book "londonistan" is an eye opener.
she describes how islam encroaches aggressively, when left unopposed.
wake up england.
in this article she asks, what would happen if a completely unqualified guy like 'b.o. was a republican candidate'? that says it all.
something sinister is afoot in the race for potus. money and puppet masters and foreign enemies who seek to take over our country. wake up america.
Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’
I disagree. It is caterwauling. It is fingernails on a chalkboard. Nothing "pretty" about it. Noise. Heard too much of it during my time with Uncle Sam over there. Can't stand it.

Speaking of sinister, you read that Soros is giving the ACLU $12 million to bring social justice cases to flyover country and that they're aiming to raise something like $170 million more?
I disagree. It is caterwauling. It is fingernails on a chalkboard. Nothing "pretty" about it. Noise. Heard too much of it during my time with Uncle Sam over there. Can't stand it.
When you hear some gut in a Minaret screaming Alllah, it is disturbing.
Staring at the state level, current Republican Party leadership is about to be run out of dodge.
Its started here in Minnesota too. Six RINOs in the state senate that voted with the Dims to override the Gov's veto of a $6.6 Billion tax bill were not endorsed by their local gop for reelection this year. It will be slow going but the only way to take back the party will be state by state.
Charles - I'm sorry that you are having to again deal with a posters who have decided to reveal their ugly side. You've been very fair and tolerant. There is no reason for them to be disrespecting you and your blog with their ugly posts. I want to thank you for this wonderful blog. I learn something everyday from the good and smart folks here. I enjoy the usually civil discussions that take place as well.
The equivalent might be if the KosKids banned radical lefties and anti-Semites. I won't hold my breath for that to happen.
Lefties have no line on the spectrum to "go no further".
In fact, they consider holding the line to be...judgmental.
Many exult in transgression for transgression's sake.
I get a definite whiff of that when I read the Kos-style, LET'S-BE-FRANK ramblings against Israel.
The trouble is, the line of transgression keeps moving, doesn't it?

To be clear, I think all of the issues you raise are perfectly valid reasons for opposing Obama, and I agree with all of them. (FWIW, I think I was also the first one drawing attention to the ridiculous 9-11 conspiracy blogs on his website).
I'm just saying from an electoral/tactical standpoint hoping/waiting for more "gotcha" dirt to come out on Obama probably isn't going to be helpful, or at least not as helpful as him repeatedly acting like a deer caught in the headlights when he's supposed to have judgement.
Did anyone catch BO's speech today about taxes? I don't know -- lots of people were near-to-fainting..and giving ovations..(frankly, it did sound attractive). He made a number of promises -- iirc -- he said he'd eliminate taxes for the elderly who earn less than (I can't recall) was it 50,000? Then he said, he'd make the tax filing super-duper easy. What he'd do would be to mail out forms which would tell ya how much ya owed, then you'd sign it -- and it'd take all of 5 minutes (BO didn't mention "how much", of course...but, it'd be real, real easy to simply fill out the form and return.) BO contrasted his "swift" tax method with McCain, and BO claimed that McCain wants to have a booklet that's 136 pages long and has multiple tax brackets, and takes an IRS accountant to figure out, etc.
People neither know nor care what sort of change they are hoping/voting for.
Exactly! And if Obama should be elected, nobody will ever be satisfied with him as president, for he and everyone else will always be looking for "change" whenever at any time he must, as any executive must, make a real, concrete, final-at-this-moment decision. His erstwhile supporters will be outraged; he himself will be utterly perplexed. And the whole country will suffer from a logical impossibility: the establishment of change.
There seems no point where such discussion is too wacky, too conspiratorial, too racist or bigoted. Part of it is the disease of modern liberalism; the inability to discriminate and tolerance to a fault. Part of it is that in the process of deconstructing that which is good, strong and pure, there is no limit.
While the right has its own share of nuts, the left does, too and the difference is that people of strong convictions about right and wrong are still able to see wrong right in front of them...even if it is disguised as a fellow traveler-or poster.
Well, ya know old john Wesley was, oh I don't know a little extreme.
But I have to say, you knew where he stood
John was a true psychopathic killer, feared by all who knew him, and liable to kill for no reason. Died a drunkards death, under the wheels of his own wagon.
John was a true psychopathic killer, feared by all who knew him, and liable to kill for no reason. Died a drunkards death, under the wheels of his own wagon.
The movie "the Shootist" was an homage to John Wesley.
It was fiction, but John Wayne was great, as usual.
I've noticed others who down-rate posts criticizing fascists, by the way; I expect them to start showing up too.
Charles, I've noticed just a few distinct cadres of individuals, and they seem to be attracted to different topics, or different people who they want to diminish on this site.
She's the slightly frumpy girl with the thick glasses that if you cleaned her up a bit, put a suit on her and stuck her in front of a camera could do "Countdown" on MSNBC each night.

Let's make it REALLY simple.
Obama is going to increase capital gains and dividend taxes.
Most Americans own stocks, directly or indirectly (via mutual funds in their employment-based retirement accounts).
So despite his posturing about paperwork (there is already a form 1040EZ which takes all of ten minutes to fill out), Obama is going to increase taxes for most Americans.
Why are high-dividend paying stocks called "widow and orphan" stocks?
Answer, because retirees and others on fixed incomes rely on them to generate case.
So who is going to be hurt THE MOST from Obama's increased dividend tax scheme?
You got it. . .the widows and orphans (eg those on pensions).
Now, will McCain make this point about taxes loudly, clearly, and repeatedly? I hope so. . .
She was! And it's a honor to have her picture here!
God bless you & her family.
Thanks...it has been a long 3 months since her passing I can assure you! A lot of nights I wish I could join her,but for some reason you don`t let go...you never let go!
Never! I will never pay your oppressive taxes that ultimately support your unconstitutional, imperial warmongering against the innocent people of Trollistan! Furthermore, I refuse to recognize your so called 'money' as it is no longer based on the Chilly, Foamy, Golden Standard!
re: #245 brainwizard73
There's some "fascist ass-kicking" that needs to be done? Well I'm always up for that - which thread?
I don't get this, though : Charles and most of us have made our positions crystal clear that we don't like any kind of fascists - Islamo or Neo or whatever in our foxhole, so why do they keep coming here?
Well, bless you. In time you may find that your loved one is with you now as she always was when she was here, but apart from you.
She exists in your mind.
re: #232 Charles Holy crap cow! SEVEN in one night? On which thread if ya don't mind me asking. I wouldn't mind going over there and doing some ass kicking myself!

OK, midnight here and the wifi is down to no bars.
I will try to check in tomorrow.
I ate a tomato today that was so good it made me cry.
And a watermelon, likewise.

...apparently a bunch of misfit toys snuck into the LGF community during open registration today, but there are a few "long term" posters that are being outed as real live thugs. I don't have the LGF historical chops to explain it all, but there you go.
re: #258 really grumpy big dog Johnson Hey really grumpy - I once did a deal in Texas with a lawyer who's last name was Hardin and being something of a WildWest History buff (my Dad, RIP, went through Tombstone,Arizona High School) and I asked him if he was related to the infamous John Wesley Hardin and he said, really quietly - yeah. And it's just great living with his name - he was an absolutely psychopathic killer - once shot a man to death cause he was snoring in the hotel room adjacent to John Wesley!
But what's John Wesley Hardin got to do with Fascists?!
Getting really confused really quickly here!
An homage to John Wesley? John Wesley was the founder of Wesleyanism, if I recall. You may be thinking of John Wesley Harding--and I had thought that the homage to him was Clint Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales."
"The Shootist"--Wayne's last film--portrays an aging gunman in a fast-modernizing West, who is dying of cancer, knows it, and tries to die with dignity, knowing that the only one he can rely on is his fast-weakening self. Wayne was dying of cancer when he made it. It's a very moving film.
It was a while ago, so I could be wrong. But I do recall readfing a review that it was a fiction based account of John weley Hardin.
What ever , it was one of the Dukes best and undrerated films.
The equivalent might be if the KosKids banned radical lefties and anti-Semites. I won't hold my breath for that to happen.
Lefties have no line on the spectrum to "go no further".
They can't have a line. When this year's shiny, big idea fails, they've gotta get a new one... and they ain't gonna move right to get it. That leaves only leftward... Leftward into the Future! Every failure means Ever Leftward!

re: #246 buzzsawmonkey Nah Buzz! Josey Wales was something of an homage to Jesse James and the Younger brothers who rode with Quantrel.
John Wesley Hardin spent something like 17 years in jail and came out as - Ta Da - a lawyer! He was shot in the back of the head several times while playing poker dice in a bar by the son of one of the 44 men Hardin had killed before he went to jail!

We spent a delightful 4 hours near the beach at Pattaya, sharing views on the Good Scaley Things at LGF; the realities of Armed Service; life on the DMZ; raising sons today; Hysteriobama; and other topics.
He spoke well of you, though, so maybe I should take everything he said with a grain of salt... :D
Thanks again, RealWest! That was a spur-of-the-moment 7-hour trip that was WELL WORTH the time and effort.

Hey really grumpy - I once did a deal in Texas with a lawyer who's last name was Hardin and being something of a WildWest History buff (my Dad, RIP, went through Tombstone,Arizona High School) and I asked him if he was related to the infamous John Wesley Hardin and he said, really quietly - yeah. And it's just great living with his name - he was an absolutely psychopathic killer - once shot a man to death cause he was snoring in the hotel room adjacent to John Wesley!
But what's John Wesley Hardin got to do with Fascists?!
Getting really confused really quickly here!
It all goes back to my original comment in which I mentioned his name. The rest is thread litter.
Speaking of sinister, you read that Soros is giving the ACLU $12 million to bring social justice cases to flyover country and that they're aiming to raise something like $170 million more?
soros has to play god thru his puppets. and he has so much money to train and equip them. he's such a little repugnant vampire. i think he has less chance of buying our country now than when he shelled out the 30 million to defeat pres. bush in '04.
his personal message thru his surrogates won't sell

"The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid" was an hommage to James, Younger, et. al.
"The Shootist" certainly doesn't sound like it would correspond to anything relating to JW Hardin. It was more an hommage, by Wayne, to Wayne, since he knew he was dying when he made it. Wayne never portrayed a psycho killer like Hardin, and in "The Shootist" he is simply a dying man trying to die with some shred of dignity, and choosing how he does it. Nothing to do with Hardin.
To wit:
I never killed a man who didn't deserve it.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. And I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.
I believe the Shootist was based on the novel of the same name, changed somewhat to make a better screenplay and to adopt to Wayne's personal belief (the original script called for him to shoot one of his persecutors in the back. . .Wayne refused to have his character do it).
I saw the film recently on video, and there is a really an excellent "making of" video attached to the DVD, if you are interested.
Well, although Fjordman's ideas about what do do about the growth of Muslim populations in Europe reveal an unwholesome attachment to blood and soil, he does not fail to identify the threat.
Here's the reality -- substance doesn't matter. It's all about Obama's style and presentation. Doesn't matter if Obama demands you hand over every single pay check from now till Dec just to pay your taxes -- Doesn't matter. Still get the ovations and the standing applause's and the "reporters" ooohing and ahhing and applauding "the brilliance" ...And, then McCain? doesn't stand a chance..(especially not with the hostile media). Another poster also pointed out on tonight's CNN (some political show) and how the show devoted a significant portion to a defense of Obama's wifey. Making her into yet another "sainted" one...(it was truly sickening.) Oh, and the other day Lou Dobbs was doing an intro for this political program, and the Hostess for the political program had on some idiot who was foaming at the mouth to bash Carl Rove. And Dobbs (he's not a conservative, but an independent), just laughed and said, "Fair and balanced, eh?" You should have seen her look -- priceless...She didn't know how to take it -- was Dobbs being bitingly sarcastic? (I believe he was -- her program is anything but "fair and balanced." None of the political programs on CNN (with the exception of Dobbs) comes anywhere near to "fair and balanced." That Letter reader, btw, who appears on an afternoon show has come out and stated explicitly that he is a supporter of Obama (he make that declaration when Hillary was still in the race. And his open support and adulation for Obama became perfectly clear, given the sorts of "e-mail" he'd choose to read -- it was designed to blacken and disparage Hillary while heaping praise on Obama). Anyway, with this sort of climate, I fear for McCain..
I've actually considered going through the LGF archives and deleting all my posts that link to his articles, now that I see clearly what he's promoting.

re: #316 buzzsawmonkey
You are right about John Wayne always having a moral code in his movies. However the crtics at the time believed that 'The Shootist " was at least loosely based on John Weley Hardin.That at least is what I remember.
Not sure about garlic...maybe bagels and cream cheese, Adam Sandler DVDs, and Hummus?
But seriously, we don't really have a neo-Nazi infestation problem, but a couple years ago we were driving from Clarksville, Tennessee to Knoxville. Out of nowhere my wife let out a scream as if we were about to die in a fiery highway accident. To our left was a huge Confederate flag visible from the woods. To her, anything east of Las Vegas is Klan country, hence I clear the house room-by-room with a .45 ACP. Otherwise I get no lovin'. Small price to pay, really.
He was shot in the back of the head several times while playing poker dice in a bar by the son of one of the 44 men Hardin had killed before he went to jail!
That was Wild Bill Hickok. But Hardin did claim 44 men, and he did not count blacks or Indians.
Good- I think I can safely speak for most, if not all, Lizards when I say we don't want nazis here either.
Yeah, about that...
Can I just put in a vote to keep the hot, female Nazis that always wear the snappy, shapely uniforms in the movies? These are the ones that you know aren't really Nazis, they are just drawn to men in power. They have the snappy accents, the high cheek bones and are a little aggressive. Can we just keep them around for aesthetic appeal?
An homage to John Wesley? John Wesley was the founder of Wesleyanism, if I recall. You may be thinking of John Wesley Harding--and I had thought that the homage to him was Clint Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales."

Since someone brought up dings -- in case anyone has noticed my propensity towards dinging up comments but not posting a whole lot, here's the reason:
I rarely have time to get into an engaged conversation -- much less come up with anything pithy or useful. However, I will ding up any comment I find humorous in any way, agree with totally, agree with somewhat, or find touching/kind (all usually hours late of the original conversation because I try to catch up). Conclusion - I up ding a lot, because a lot of you are funny, smart, talented writers, and nice folks.
If I down ding anyone it is RARE and I would be more than happy to answer for any down-dings. I don't like to do it if I can't back it up.
--Just wanted you all to know what's up with the lurking dinger!
as soon as the whole Pamela Vlams Blag incident occured you were beyond quick to dissacociate yourself from Frojdman, i don't think anyone except for the usual suspects could accuse you of harboring any sympathizes once the true nature of his message was exposed.
I think 2 weeks worth of linking to their hates sites to expose their true intentions speaks to that.
Funny...I was cruising a backcountry road in New Mexico, and came across a large gate that had a fake (but very real looking) human body dangling by a nuse, and a Confederate flag waiving in the wind, directly above a "NO TRESPASIN" [sic] sign.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. Unlike certain Senators from IL, you had no problem stepping up and doing the right thing promptly and of your own accord, rather than issuing denials, justifications, or excuses.
re: #316 buzzsawmonkey Um, I know that buzz - I loved Wayne in the Shootist (and lots of other films, but I thought you were saying that the Shootist was about Hardin which it manifestly was not.
And now I'm going to block that sick freak IbrahimX.

I spent waay too much time tryin' to deal with him, knowing from too many past experiences with his ilk that it is always a waste of time.

I see what you are saying, but I still find it creepy. Just like I find the Soviet National Anthem creepy. When you listen to it, it is actually quite solemn, indeed a bit catchy. but when it is played by modern day communists in Portland, OR, it is just creepy.
When the GM plant here in OKC closed, all kinds of stories came out about how the union had rules of the sort that GM could never get rid of anyone- if their position was terminated due to plant efficiencies, or whatever, the guys remained on the payroll, and just hung out in the breakroom all day, etc.

Absolutely! It is in keeping with the liberal tradition to let those comments remain but to point out in a disclaimer how they offend the spirit of LGF, that they were originally accepted because they did address some real jihadi threats but that their blood-and-soil prescriptions were repudiated because they were reactionary and fascist.
He fought under Patton- the Germans were on the other side of the river, he tried to retrieve machine gun parts from a vehicle near the river. He wanted to make a working gun from all the parts. Uncle John.

From Melanie's blog as reported by the Telegraph and IBD:
Kenya's defeated presidential challenger Raila Odinga has claimed to be a cousin of Barack Obama and said that they had discussed his country's post-election violence. Mr Odinga, 63, said that the US senator's father, from western Kenya's Luo tribe, was his maternal uncle... Mr Obama has not commented on the Kenyan opposition leader’s claim to be a relative.
As I have already said -- but let me repeat very slowly for those suffering from Princess Obama Derangement Syndrome – the concerns about Obama’s Muslim antecedents arise from the fact that a) he has tried to conceal them and b) that he has a puzzling number of indirect connections with radical Islamists or their supporters.
1) He has gone out of his way to support in Kenya Raila Odinga, head of the Luo tribe, who promised to introduce sharia law if elected. Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaign to speak by phone with Odinga. As the Investor’s Business Daily has reported, his half-brother Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist in Kenya and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must ‘liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture’ and urges Barack to embrace his African Muslim heritage.
Barack Obama has said he disagrees with his brother. But as the IBD has also reported:
In 1991, when Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, he pledged allegiance to something called the Black Value System, which is a code of non-Biblical ethics written by blacks, for blacks. It encourages blacks to group together and separate from the larger American society by pooling their money, patronizing black-only businesses and backing black leaders. Such racial separatism is strangely at odds with the media's portrayal of Obama as a uniter who reaches across races. The code also warns blacks to avoid the white ‘entrapment of black middle-classness,’ suggesting that settling for that kind of ‘competitive’ success will rob blacks of their African identity and keep them ‘captive’ to white culture.

LGF gets a ton of badly misguided crap out on the Interthing; this active defense of LGF's principles - precisely (as I see them) anti-bigotry in general and a rational, relentless antagonism towards individual bigots, wherever found - would be well-served by the exemplification of what's unacceptable in decent, civil discourse.

Funny, I never found the Soviet anthem creepy. I guess because growing up I really beleived that the President (Reagan at the time) would keep me safe. I know it sounds a bit corny now, but whenever I heard the Soviet anthem I thought it sounded kind of cool because I knew we would win in the end; after all the good guys always win, right?

re: #397 looking closely
Yeah, James too - I guess nobody wanted to take any of the three of 'em on face to face - although Hardin's killer was the son of a man Hardin had killed and Jesse James was killed for the reward money and the dude who did Wild Bill has been rumored throughout history to have done it -shot Hickcock for money paid by the existing Sheriff of Deadwood, who was afraid Hickock was after his job.
So 2 out of 3 were killed for money and the third for revenge.

Others here have, quite properly, cheered you on for getting rid of these fascist loving scum, but I gotta tell ya I'm REALLY PISSED OFF that they joined registered at LGF, apparently, for the odd chance that they'd get to try and sneak in some fascistic propaganda (no doubt leaving something for the cherry pickers to find).

A disclaimer accomplishes anything you need to do here, and its more intellectually honest than the old-fashioned Stalin treatment.
The critics--mostly leftists--always hated John Wayne. If they ever praised one of his films, it was for the director.
My favorite Duke quote (I forget the movie) is after a barroom brawl, in which everyone, including Wayne takes numerous hits-he's helping a young sidekick up off the floor- he says:
"Kid, you're gonna spend your whole like gettin' up one more time than they knock you down."
I've been informed that there is a group of people at Discarded Lies who are planning to start posting crap at LGF, in revenge for banning KevinV.
Why not include IP addresses in the "this user has been banned" statement? Sure, they can be spoofed, but I'll wager that most of the time, they are not.

This is from : "You ain't gonna like losing." Author unknown.
President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq
Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not.
Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders.
Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not.
And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war.
Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort.
Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted.
And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance, and with prayers for our country and our troops!
Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies.
A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning.
There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve.
It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and the land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause... Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits. So... We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall.
Charles, I hope you're keeping track of the folk at Lies (I know it's called Discarded Lies, but since they never discard any lies, I just use the correct terminology which is LIES) who say they are registered here (e.g., airforcewife) but haven't posted in a couple of years and who may come back over now to create more problems.
And WTF is it with Evariste? He's cheering on people making racist and fascist comments out here?
As the Investor’s Business Daily has reported, his half-brother Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist in Kenya and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must ‘liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture’ and urges Barack to embrace his African Muslim heritage.
Not that Howard Dean of the DNC will tell you this in his e-mails.
Boy, what kind of things would he have pissed on had he had a modern art school to go to?
i think it could have changed history if he had gotten into art school. he loved doing landscapes. he could have ended up a little old man doing water colors of the alps and bavarian forest.
Charles is doing what's necessary and should give no quarter and no mercy to those who would drag this country (and, by extension, LGF) into the racialist/white supremacist muck, ostensibly to oppose the growing fundamentalist Islamist threat that faces us all.
Surprisingly, no. I just bought and held, never paid close attention, thought I would continue to buy but never did. I have plenty of Altria (bought when it was still Philip Morris) and as a result also have plenty of Kraft Foods and Philip Morris International, both fairly recent spin offs. GM is one of those companies I am glad I didn't get too involved with. yuck.
re: #478 Charles Oh man, I knew Evariste was a lot of things, none of them really good (like the time he "shared" your confidential e-mails to him with everyone at Lies (waay back in the day) but didn't think he was a fascist - although I guess I coulda figured that out if I'd looked at many of his posts over there.

re: #472 Sharmuta
I didn't see where she said that, but did see where Levi from Queens said that airforcewife and he may be the only two members of Lies to still have posting priviliges here.
Hope Charles changes that to ZERO.

I have this weird vision that "evariste" is an amalgamation of something like "eternally vigilant" with the plural of "arista", pertaining to possessing the characteristics or qualities of those of the aristocratic classes.
Sounds about right.
If you do an internet search for "arista", it's a little bit alarming.
I did see it, otherwise I would not have repeated it. The "airforcewife" I remember from here seemed nice, and she certain has posted within the last two years. So- it's either two different people, or she lied to her friends at that ugly, hateful site.
Kinda like finding out about Rock Hudson and ... and Jim Nabors.
My father's best friend growing up was Darryl Zanuck Jr. He told me he was invited to a party ar Rock Hudson's house (a pool party) and when he and Darryl got there, there were only men sitting around, they immediately left(My father has often been mistaken for Paul Newman and had the looks when he was younger - I am adopted, I did not get them). In short, I grew up knowing Rock was gay, but Gomer, now that was a surprise (surprise, surpise!)
Charles,
I don't know if Ev is just short for Evariste, but from the way that one of the DL commenters asked DL user Fay to see "whether Ev was still kosher", it sounds like Ev may be a multi-user account. Haven't looked--will now.
Charles, I find it funny that you've taken away my account, because it
REALLY does seem that you don't like opposing viewpoints. I did not
seek to air any controversial statements, but I was forced to defend
statements I made on another forum. The irony here, Charles, is that
like many a liberal you are afraid of debate and argument. I am now
satisfied that you're all interested in administering is an echo
chamber.
It's also ironic how you have the temerity to call me "vile" given your
loathsome and primitive reaction to me--that is, your accusation that I
must somehow be connected with an Islamic School that is located in the
sprawl that is Fairfax. Oh no, wouldn't want anyone calling you out on
your own vile tendencies would you? Hence keeping the gates closed.
Anyway, if you have a modicum of principle you will reinstate my
account.
re: #524 Sharmuta All I said was that I didn't see it - if you did, mazel tov.
Didja run a search on her out here? Any indications of a fascistic bent?
I was away, but I have a feeling IbrahimX didn't eventually get a raging clue after I left?
I never realized how many "other" jobs you had to do associated with this one site (ie: monitoring other cites where people with no lives spend all their time criticizing yours)
From its postings we knew the "Charles eliminates anyone that doesn't agree with him" (ie: why won't LGF allow me to be an idiot and spew my nonsense on its site) was coming when he got banned.
It was a ___ stirrer. Brilliant 1st day Ib, you reap what you sew.
I've actually considered going through the LGF archives and deleting all my posts that link to his articles, now that I see clearly what he's promoting.
But I have an aversion to revisionism. If someone tries to smear me with those posts at some point, I'll simply admit that I was wrong about Fjordman. Because I was.
An homage to John Wesley? John Wesley was the founder of Wesleyanism, if I recall. You may be thinking of John Wesley Harding--and I had thought that the homage to him was Clint Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales."
"The Shootist"--Wayne's last film--portrays an aging gunman in a fast-modernizing West, who is dying of cancer, knows it, and tries to die with dignity, knowing that the only one he can rely on is his fast-weakening self. Wayne was dying of cancer when he made it. It's a very moving film.
I think it was one of his best. My personal fav is McClintock, but I think that "The Shootest" was his finest performance. I have always felt that he was making his peace in that film.
Wow. This has the feeling of outing Soviet spies in the State Department during the 1940's. Effing wierd.
If you are referring to McCarthyism, McCarthy was right, McCarthyism should be a phrase of admiration, and yes, we could use some of it around here from time to time.
The only folks who disagree are those who learn their history from Hollywood and Howard Zinn.
re: #541 realwest
Addendum, didn't look far enough into the heap - she posted at #60 "I don't think I'm welcome there, per se. I think that my LGF nic and my DL nic have not been connected." [emphasis added].
No, McCarthyism is not what I was referring too, more along the lines of Alger Hiss, slightly prior to the HUAC hearings. And yes, McCarthy was right. There were in fact Soviet spies all throughout the US government. Venona proved that much.
If it came down to it im sure Israel would take it upon themselves to remove it themselves.
And i don't think once you've been warned by Israeli intelligence you try it again, something along the lines of, do you like having an operating search engine?
I would imagine that if Israel truly felt that their security was at direct risk they could find a way to convince Google to reconsider what they carry on their site.
Set a X month no comment/automatically lose your account rule.
/give fair warning globally and individually before purging
I've been considering exactly that, to prevent the morons at places like Discarded Lies from taking advantage of stealth accounts. I'll probably write the code this weekend.
True. But the idea that Google would actually assist the Israeli government is what, about 1 in a million?
Yes. I don't buy that either.
Anyway, that wasn't some fancy topographical map. It was just a rough sketch of the region.
Terrorists need Google to find out where Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem are?
Well it's been a weird night here tonight - rascists, fascists, gunfighters of the old west and Discarded Lies, all rolled into one!
Anyway I gotta get some sleep all y'all - hope you all have a GREAT EVENING/EARLY MORNING and that I get the chance to see you down the road.
Yes. I don't buy that either.

OK, But make it long enough for trips overseas and such. or do a reactivation protocol, maybe.
I don't buy anything anymore, i worked for RBC bank in canada and im 100% a certain foriegn gov't took down our entire interact network for a day, we were told nothing and im more than certain it wasn't a glitch.
There were credible reports of google maps being used by palestinian terrorists by the Israeli army, especially, if memory serves, for border areas. But google helping Israel? I doubt it.
I just checked out Google Earth. No problem flying around and zooming into Israel. Cities, towns, etc. all there. And, although no expert, I didn't see anything disappeared.
i find it interesting that most people ignore Israel's computing prowess when it comes to Iran, if Israel attacks Iran i forsee Israel taking down every computer network and infestructe connected to a grid prior to attacking.
...apparently a bunch of misfit toys snuck into the LGF community during open registration today, but there are a few "long term" posters that are being outed as real live thugs. I don't have the LGF historical chops to explain it all, but there you go.
Some of them were registered on the first day of registration 6-15-04. re: #451 esch
So is there a cheat sheet somewhere of the things that will likely get you banned?
So far I've seen antisemitic, racist and fascist supporting people get banned. I'm curious what the other hot buttons are.

That is what my geeky son says!
He is very interested in computers/security/military stuff.
wired had a great article about Russia taking down Estonia's entire infestructure after estonia removed a monument erected after WW2, not to mention i don't see Iran's crappy satellite lasting more than 5 minutes.
I always found it odd they didn't make a sequel, it would have been so awesome, a team of scientists find the remains of the team, bring back a sample for study to a lab in the states, bam thing writes itself.
After going thru some old DVDs, I must reiterate my belief that "The Thing" is the finest horror movie ever made.
Although you are probably referencing the first one, the remake was on the SciFi channel tonight -- cut out a lot of the good parts obviously -- but surprisingly left a lot in.
/Still scares the pants off of me and I love horror/scifi. Creepy music.
you know that horrid squelch and death pEEEng you get when the office network gaks out... could be the new Iranian early warning system; air raid in 30 seconds

If i had money id buy the rights and make it.
They kind of followed that story line for the Thing video game that came out a few years ago.
What terrifies me is I've heard rumors they are planning a remake.

I'm refering to the John Carpenter 1982 version. I didn't care for the 1951 killer vegetable version. John Carpenter's version is closer to the original story.
no problem, pretty scary article, in the event of a real conflict i wouldn't expect anything to work, no tv, no phone, no atm's, possibly no electricity, all without a single sabateour setting foot on our soil.
not to mention the US army is so stupid in the movie i think if they were the way portayed in the movie Grenada would have been like D day.
Yup. They were portrayed as inept and their willingness to kill everything was meant to seem over the top. Ironically, their plan to kill everything, if not undermined by the stupid kids, would have halted the spread of the disease.

Oh, my bad. I love the Thing '82 as well. I didn't even know there was a first one until many years later and it came off as cheesy.
/The dog scene always gets me though. The spidery-crawling head scene -- genius!
If Obama is elected what we here at LGF think of as american you know free speech, the constitution, right to bear arms, will be considered unamerican and not meeting the global standard.
That's at least 10 stealth accounts belonging to those obsessed freaks. I almost feel sorry for them; they're obviously caught in some kind of negative feedback loop that's warping their values. Oh well.
Overall for horror movies, I think "30 Days of Night" comes in a close second.
Really? I was sooo disappointed. Although I do think my opinion had a lot to do with the hype I had heard about it before actually seeing it, it still was nowhere near second for me. Did I miss something?

I feel they did a good job of building atmosphere and character development in a short time. They stayed true to the original material for the most part. For me, a good horror movie isnt about blood and guts or cheap scares and gotcha moments, its about the human reaction to a terrifying situation.
Nah. While i am not one to engage in diatribe, I also got a bit overheated this morning when i saw the KOS Birth Certificate. Because it was wrong. They called it a BC, but it was an abstract. So I also questioned the Kos document upon observation. Since Obama requested his BC abstract in June of 2007, I wonder why he allowed the controversy to simmer?

I see your point, and I agree mostly. I don't know what the original material was -- I think it was a book and if so, I didn't read it. I feel the same way about The Mist. I enjoyed it more than most because they stayed very close to the original short story (which is one of my favorites) -- with the exception of the ending.

Getting back to Melanie Phillips, (got to love her) the previous item on her blog was about the excellent debate in Alabama between Richard Dawkins and the philosopher/mathemetician, John Lennox, the topic being Dawkins' book, "The God Delusion". Well worth watching.
I just took some time and had a look at the latest 4-5 articles on the Brussels journal. I did not find that site being fascist. Not on the front page, at least. I vaguely remember from your previous posts that some disturbing articles or/and comments were added calling for a bloody solution of EU immigration problem.
Also I could not see any anti-semitic rants there (not that I payed too much attention to the comments section), as I would expect from a fascist site. Maybe the comments are not moderated as you do here, and some people are starting to post all their sick fantasies.
Regarding all this "Euro-fascist" scare - it's true that there is a huge anti-semitic current in EU. In fact, it always was in Europe. It's hard to understand why, after so many years, theories like "Jews are controlling the economy" crap are still alive and kicking, when there are countries with less that a couple thousands Jews left, mostly old people. I blame mostly the muslim/paleostinian propaganda for this, keeping this cancer alive.
I do not know when did you visit Western Europe last time, but for me it's clear that only two things can happen there in the next 15-20 years:
1. The muslim population will gain majority and in that moment Sharia law will be in effect with all atrocities associated with it. Mass conversion will follow, by the bloody book, as it did in almost 1400 years of islam history.
2. A civil war will start by Europeans in self-defense, together with total anarchy. Again, all atrocities associated with it. Even if this is less probable than 1 (I would say - 10%), due to: demographics, lack of military knowledge from non-muslim "youths", lack of firearms - not speaking about islam being seen by many left-leaning teenagers as the best thing to beat "imperialist" America.
If someone here can think to an European future not implying bloodshed and violence, I'm eager to hear it.
I will not post any links towards the site in question as I remember we were asked not to, but seeing Catholic churches being used for spreading islam and sheltering muslim immigrants makes me sick. Really. And I'm not Catholic.
Long post for a guy who sits and read, mostly. Thank you.
In 1991, when Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, he pledged allegiance to something called the Black Value System, which is a code of non-Biblical ethics written by blacks, for blacks. It encourages blacks to group together and separate from the larger American society by pooling their money, patronizing black-only businesses and backing black leaders. Such racial separatism is strangely at odds with the media's portrayal of Obama as a uniter who reaches across races. The code also warns blacks to avoid the white ‘entrapment of black middle-classness,’ suggesting that settling for that kind of ‘competitive’ success will rob blacks of their African identity and keep them ‘captive’ to white culture.
Jews are *always* the first ones to be scapegoated, either from the Left or from the Right.
Saying some shadowy force is against you has a sort of universal appeal, and (like the price of gold) anti-semitism can be seen as a sort of barometer of global stress. Obviously, the latter is pretty high right now.
If Obama were a Republican - he'd be toast. If Obama were a Republican - he's be the butt of a joke.
Ipso facto there could be no Republican "Obama".
Nobody with Obamas' thin CV could ever capture the nomination of the nominally conservative party, which by its very nature tends to choose older, more experienced leaders.
The old joke about this goes like this:
With the Democrats, its "Who's the next great leader?".
With the Republicans its "Who's turn is it?".
As I have already said -- but let me repeat very slowly for those suffering from Princess Obama Derangement Syndrome – the concerns about Obama’s Muslim antecedents arise from the fact that a) he has tried to conceal them and b) that he has a puzzling number of indirect connections with radical Islamists or their supporters.
-- Melanie Phillips.
The man is not applying for a minor position in a small company. He wants to be president of the United States of America, the most powerful position in the country and in the world. At a time when we are locked in a war to counter the global jihad being waged by radical Islamist extremists against the US and against the free world, the prudent thing would be to learn more about this mystery man who continues to flip-flop on his positions but who conceals his Muslim antecedents and who has all these indirect connections with radical Islamists or their supporters.
It's time to shuck Princess Obama Derangement Syndrome and allow the vetting of the princess to continue.
Yes - with Republicans - it's "the boring old guy next in line".
Still my point is that Obama's incredible corrupt and shady connections
would spell certain doom if he were a Republican. It takes a media that's well in the tank with the Democrat to play hide and seek with such incredible stuff.
The left wing media with pundits like Andrew Sullivan had to go back hundreds of years to make a point and smear that evil Mormon Mitt.

If you can only "vaguely recall" some kind of vague problems, maybe you shouldn't be defending that site. There's a huge ad in their sidebar promoting a British National Party web site -- did you miss that?
Much as I would have preferred to see more thoughtful comments WRT to the Phillips article - which, as usual, is brilliant - the outing of the slugs and bottom feeders from the privileged confines of LGF certainly takes precedence.
BTY, this is the first time I have ever seen the DL site - quite a cesspool and a little frightening.
I like the disclaimer idea. If only earlier pages and links to fjord are seen, it looks like LGF is still an ally. Things have changed, and noting that does no one a disservice.
Charles, I think you are absolutely right - keeping fascism and general nastiness off this site serves more than one purpose. It makes LGF a nicer place (DL page is filthy...) and it keeps us on target, not targeting trolls!
Can I just put in a vote to keep the hot, female Nazis that always wear the snappy, shapely uniforms in the movies? These are the ones that you know aren't really Nazis, they are just drawn to men in power. They have the snappy accents, the high cheek bones and are a little aggressive. Can we just keep them around for aesthetic appeal?
If I get out-voted, so be it...
Maybe you're joking; maybe you're serious. But, in my opinion, you dishonour those who suffered terribly at the hands of real female Nazis.

This is most certainly your prerogative. However, if you do so, I hope you will also remove the current contents of your FAQ page, the vast majority of which I wrote way back when (both the original FAQs, and the updates that included suggestions from the others credited at the end of the page.)
