Pat, please JUST SHUT UP.

Pat,

There's a time to just shut up. Your time has come.

Shut up Pat!
This week he was praising Obama's cabinet picks as a bunch of Moderates.

By their fruits, you shall know them...

That is some mighty rancid fruits that Buchanan is showing there.

Frankly, the only comment for neo-fascist Pat should be - GAZE

I wonder if Pat's starting to suffer from on-set Dementia, or if he's just trying to stay 'relevant'..

I've learned a lot here at LGF. The #1 thing I learned is that PB is a real POS scumbag.

Pat,

There's a time to just shut up. Your time has come.

When the libs lost McCain as the "maverick" they dug up Buchanan. Crawl back under your rock. Bay, can't you rein in your deranged brother? Help a country out here.

I never paid a whit of attention to Pat Buchannan until I found LGF. Never realized what a racist Jew hater he was. Thanks, Charles for the education. This man is a complete and utter disgrace. Pathetic.

I guess Pat hasn't been watching the GazaCam.

I'm reminded of someone who used to post here whose nic was "Bat Puchanan".

(Truly memorable.)

Has he been hanging around with Jimmuh Carter again?

What really pisses me off about this tired fool, is he is who the media holds up as an example of social conservatism! Bullsh*t! He is merely another bigot with an obvious agenda that cares for no one unless they look like him and believe exactly as he does.

Pat forgot to condemn Egypt for keeping the southern border of Gaza closed. Doesn't fit the story he wants to tell.

Fuchanan, this is what Blitzkrieg looks like.

pamela's friend, mr. dewinter, sure has interesting associates for a supporter of Israel- pat buchanan, david duke, jean-marie le pen. But if she says he's a friend of Israel, then I guess it's as believable as Paul Martin vouching for cnn's video.

Hey Pat, how about explain this? Hamas rigging schools for explosives, using them as ammo dumps, and rigging the fuse for one such school from a zoo. Yeah, that's who you're supporting in this war.

This is the only acceptable Nazi imagery. Hamas rallies, much like those of Hizbullah and Iranian military processions have quite a bit in common with Hitler, to say nothing of their genocidal rhetoric. Or are you going to ignore that too Pat? Hitler would be proud of the obfuscation and moral equivalence you vomit on a daily basis - attacking Israel's rights to go after terrorists who think nothing of human rights and all those Gazans. To Hamas, people are cannon fodder - statistics that they can trot out against Israel. Dead children are props to be manipulated by the Palestinian propaganda machine, which is facilitated by the very media outlets claiming to cover the war. These same outlets don't question their sources, take videos at face value regardless of the impossibility of what is alleged therein, and then claim that Israel is engaging in terrorism, genocide, holocaust, or concentration camps?

You, along with all others who engage in such language do so on purpose to debase the language and to delegitimize Israel, its raison d'etre, and its response to incessant terrorism.

You are evil for having sided with the genocidal terrorists of Hamas.

I like Sean Hannity. Unless he is one of the greatest actors, he seems like a very decent good guy.

I am upset that he continues to respectfully deal with Buchanan, never confronting him for his rabid anti Semitism.

I think it's an overstatement to say that all the old paleo-cons were anti-semites.

The times were different, and I'm not aware that back in the day, they opposed Israel - oil not being such an issue say back circa 1970, or even after the first oil shock in 1974 and through the Reagan 80s.

That's sort of where the Vlams Belang seem to come down, isn't it, anti-semite but pro-Israel, in a paternalistic sort of way - or at least anti-Arab. In any case, Pat is worse, if I cared.

Freedombilly Accuses Buchanan of 'Blitzkrieg' On the Truth

Please pardon my OT-ness... I'd like to quickly add a response to Mr. Martin's email.

As a patient remains in cardiac arrest for longer and longer periods of time, the likelihood of success of resuscitative efforts decreases. The efforts are discontinued, and the patient pronounced dead, when so much time has elapsed that the doctor in charge deems the likelihood of successful resuscitation to be effectively zero.

In my experience, when the patient's death would be especially tragic, either because the patient is young, or because he or she was otherwise healthy before the code and would have a good chance at living a long and healthy life if successfully resuscitated, doctors have a tendency to persist in their efforts for an especially long time. Frequently, long past the time when they recognize that their efforts are probably futile. However, regardless of their perceived futility of their efforts, no reasonable doctor would ever run a code in which a person merely pretended to do chest compressions without actually doing them, and made no attempt to ventilate the patient, unless this were being done for the purposes of providing a show for someone without medical expertise.

The death of any human being is tragic. The death of a child is particularly tragic, heartbreakingly so, particularly when it comes suddenly, and particularly for the family members who are present to witness it.

Though much of the analysis being presented here certainly comes off as mean-spirited, I, personally, have great sympathy for the family of Mahmoud Mashharawi, if indeed he has died recently. I have no reason to believe that he hasn't, and it's quite possible that the IDF was involved. It is understandable that, under these circumstances, Ashraf Mashharawi would be extremely upset and angry. Any brother would, and any actions that he takes in this setting should be interpreted accordingly. Nevertheless, it is he who has chosen to turn his brother's death into a public political message, one designed to have effects on the lives of others. And the terrible tragedy of a child's death cannot in any way alter the indisputable fact that the resuscitation scene shown by CNN and Channel 4 is utterly fake.

Israel is not practicing Blitzkrieg (Lighting War).
During a Blitzkrieg, you do not phone civilians and tell them to evacuate.
During a Blitzkrieg, you do not supply the enemy with food, power and medical supplies.

I both Iraq wars, the USA practiced Blitzkrieg tactics which is a huge concentrations of armored vesicles rapidly sweeping around and cutting off enemy forces.

Israeli is using its armor to protect its infantry during probing actions.

If anyone in punditry needed a loud and resounding STFU, it's PB.

Another fan of Buchanan - and more subtly anti Israel in his own right- is John McLaughlin.

On his show this weekend he quoted "the Vatican" as also saying that Israel has created a Concentration Camp in Gaza.

While one Cardinal did say that, I believe McLaughlin deliberately said "the Vatican" to give the accusation more power. He asked Buchanan, if he [the anti Semite] agreed.

Not in a death cult - it's a blessing/tragedy

The very best that can be said about the Nazis is that unlike Hamas, they put on uniforms and met their enemy on the field of battle. They did not fire rockets from or hide in civilian areas like the Hamas does. (to my knowledge) Please do not take my comment as defending Nazi Germany in ANY way, what they did was inexcusably horrific and inhumane, it must NEVER be forgotten, or allowed to be marginalized, or denied. The Hamas and many others want the same thing, Jewish genocide, but fight like cowards. They allow their citizens to be killed because they hide among them, cowardly genocidal murderers that they are. Hamas is causing the death of innocent Palestinians, and Israel bears not one iota of guilt for this. Fight on, Israel, protect yourself and your people, no matter anyone's opinion. To hell with Hamas, Hezbollah, and everyone else who hates Israel.

'Scarborough Country' for July 19
Read the transcript to the Wednesday show
updated 3:10 p.m. ET, Thurs., July. 20, 2006

Pat, has Israel gone too far?

PAT BUCHANAN, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: I think Israel has gone too far, Joe. As I mentioned to you, they were provoked and they were attacked by Hezbollah that killed Israeli soldiers and captured two and took them back into Lebanon. It was a just war for Israel to go and get them and to punish the people that took them and to take out those rockets which are raining down on northern Israel.

But what the Israelis did was launch a blitzkrieg against an innocent nation and people, Lebanon, who didn‘t want any part of this war, destroying air fields or runways on civilian airports, lighthouses, roads, bridges, all the rest of it. You‘ve got 500,000 refugees. It is disproportionate, Joe.

Quite Goebbelsian, no?

Actually, Blitzkriegs are pretty effective if you want to win. Certainly more effective than conducting a Sits-krieg in the face of constant rocket attacks......

re: #40 quickjustice

Buchanan: the new Father Coughlin. Hannity continues to give him publicity because Buchanan does reflect the views of the old paleo-cons, who, with the single exception of Bill Buckley, were notorious anti-semites. Hannity is all about building listeners by having controversial figures on his show.

The late, great Bill Buckley was never really a Paleo-con. He was really more the great grand pappy of us neo cons. Buckley got the "neo con" movement started and managed to drive Buchanan out of the Republican party for nearly a decade. Unfortunately, after Buckley's death, Hannity, McLaughlin, and a few others reinvited Buchanan back into the right wing movement and we've been losing groung in public opinion ever since.

I just remembered a fortune I got from a fortune cookie once that applies nicely to Pat.

Fame is a form of success that is seldom worth the things you have to do to obtain it.

The proportionality argument is detestable. I include a little tidbit on the subject:

The international media engages in delusions about Big Bad Israel on a daily basis. Most of the time, the far left are happy to drink it up and theorize about Israeli plans for domination of the Middle East. However, they never hesitate to jump at an opportunity to level a more serious accusation at the "Zionist criminals"; when Israel decided to stand up for its citizenry this past week, the Daily Kos was terribly excited about how "disproportionate" Israel's attacks upon Gaza were. Supposedly, because the body count on the Palestinian side far exceeds that on the Israeli side, Israel has committed a war crime. By that logic, every successful military leader in history has been a war criminal, but then again, leftist logic isn't really logic at all. While the Geneva Convention clearly states clearly states that the presence of civilians doesn't exclude a military target from lawful attack, the anti-Israel protesters march on hemming and hawing about the destruction of a school that was used by Hamas as a mortar launching area. The "disproportionate" argument is very easy to invalidate with a bit of Google work.

An exchange of firepower is not legally disproportionate if one side has more firepower than the other. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, made it excruciatingly clear in a letter to those alleging war crimes against Iraqi citizens that unintentional civilian deaths caused by military operations in any given theater are not in and of themselves war crimes. For a civilian death to be a war crime, the goal of the mission during which the death of the civilian occurred must have been to kill that civilian. In other words, the general in the field may order an attack on a military facility knowing full well that civilian casualties may result as long as that general believes that the military objective he seeks is proportionate to the death of civilians. For a fun comparison, note that Hamas' objective in launching rockets over the border was to kill civilians, while Israel's objective in invading Gaza is to prevent the death of more Israeli civilians. Furthermore, when a belligerent uses a civilian military installation for military purposes (I'm talking to you, Hamas), that belligerent is responsible for any civilian deaths that result.

Dear Mr. Buchanan:

It's not a Blitzkrieg, you dolt; the German Blitzkrieg was an offensive action used for the purpose of gaining land. The Israeli offensive (defensive?) is for the purpose of self-defense.

Love, ClosetCon

Love, ClosetCon

You sound like you expect Buchanan to react to reason. Something tells me he left reason a long time ago.

Afternoon, everyone.

Now in all fairness Charles I have to say that "blitzkrieg" is a legitimate military term that I've seen mentioned even in IDF documents and publications, along with other german terms such as "schwerpunkt" for example. Them germans have a knack of describing sentence-long concepts with one (albeit unpronounceable) word, which is pretty useful.

At the same time I have to note that the operation in Gaza is certainly anything BUT a "blitzkrieg". It's a very slow, house-to-house advance that has nothing to do with rapid armor maneuvers. There's no place for them in Gaza, there's no enemy front that can be pierced, there's no enemy rear either.
For an example of a real blitzkrieg see the Six Day war.

So Buchanan, having apparently no idea what the word actually means, is using it purposefully because it german and does have Nazi connotation.
And that does show him as a moron - not the word itself.

Ok, let's start at Point A: Buchanan is a Hitler excusing, Jew hater. He hates Israel.

Now if anyone other than him had used the word Blitzkrieg, I would not be on their case. Blitz and Blitzkrieg have become part of the English language and associated with the notion of modern armored warfare.

So in the last few months, Pat has referred to the situation in Gaza as a concentration camp, published a book that blames the British for WWII, his thesis (feces is more like it) is that Britain forces war on poor Hitler because they threatened war if Hitler invaded Poland in 1939. As if Hitler had not planned the invasion since early 1939, hadn't breached the Munich accord and wasn't in complete and open violation of Washington Naval and Versailles arms restrictions treaties. Poor, "innocent," Hitler! That war monger NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN drove him to it.

Pat LOVES using the words "America First," his family was active int he AF movement; the AF movement were pro-Hitler and used the Nazi salute at their rallies. Google AF rally pictures of Lindbergh and Senator Wheeler but have your vomit bag ready.

All of it must be seen as part of a pattern of antisemitic and anti-Israel comments and rhetoric that eventually got Buchanan bounced from most respectable conservative publications. His comment bears the baggage of a lifetime of Jew hatred.

Only when you know all this can you hate him properly.

Pat Buchanan: Poster Child for retroactive birth control.

Hannity is an odd case. His books, for the most part, are fantastic. But he's is so-so on TV and his radio show sucks. The arguments that he articulates so well in his books makes the radio and TV thing even more frustrating.

Actually, I am glad Paul Martin stands by his report. Why? Because it joins the al Dura and other blood libels as a classic example of media bias against Israel.

Sooner or later, this report will be looked at by independent medical experts and found wanting. Also if there is a Lizard in Norway or the EU, Dr. Mads Gilbert's behavior violates medical ethics, perhaps a complaint should be filed?

And while what they did will not be forgotten but live on in infamy, always, its also got to be said that they did build bunkers for their civilians, and did not use their dead children as props to show how they suffered under allied bombings.

All those who now wail for the fate of the hamasthigs, and accuse Israel, should take another look at the images of the aftermaths of the allied bombing raids, on Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin, Dresden ...
And all those who think israel shut put up with those nagging little rockets better have a read about the effects of the V1 and V2 on London and its children, never mind Coventry.

re: #94 freedombilly

Hannity is an odd case. His books, for the most part, are fantastic. But he's is so-so on TV and his radio show sucks. The arguments that he articulates so well in his books makes the radio and TV thing even more frustrating.

I did not know that. His lunacy on TV and radio is the reason why I never bothered to read any of his books...

Exactly. But be careful, both can kill you if they land on your head.

re: #100 Fat Jolly Penguin

Her readers are apparently fans of ineffective gestures, so they might very well win an internet poll.

re: #108 CIA Reject

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with everything in his books. But he actually articulates some very cogent arguments in a very precise way in print. Almost like the bravado takes a back seat after proof reading. But all the bravado isn't gone that's for sure.

re: #60 CIA Reject

I'm sorry, but IMHO Hannity is another one who needs to dial it back a notch. He relies too much on bluster and emotion and not enough on reason thus allowing the left to characterize all conservatives as hot-heads.

And he does need to confront Buchanan on his anti-semitism...

That is why I don't listen to his show anymore.

Well, I am off the the Israel rally here in downtown San Jose...I'll bring back pictures and video!

There's nothing wrong with bravado- it's just when one allows emotion to trump reason in making an argument, one has just lost the argument!

re: #79 Neo Con since 9-11

I will disgree in this only - I do not contend that those invited PB back into the fold after the death of Bill Buckley.....to those, Hannity, McLaughlin, and others, PB never was accrued the gaze the he and his positions so well deserve. Unfortunately, despite Buckley's best efforts, not all of the cretins of the neo-nazi beliefs were purged from their infiltration into conservative politics. We are damned by this affiliation everytime unless we stand up against his odious beliefs.

I do find it interesting that he is promoted on MSNBC as one of 'their' conservatives to demonstrate to the MSNBC audience the characture of a 'typical conservative'.

re: #112 Spiny Norman

re: #29 lawhawk

This is the only acceptable Nazi imagery. Hamas rallies, much like those of Hizbullah and Iranian military processions have quite a bit in common with Hitler, to say nothing of their genocidal rhetoric.

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met with Hitler during WW2 to help find ways of killing more Jews. An all-Muslim Regiment was created which fought in the Balkans, and some Paleos name their kids Hitler to this day. Palis also give the "Heil Hitler" salute.

re: #120 freedombilly

I used to check it out from time to time. If I am plugged into media at that hour I now find myself focusing on the market wrap-up for the day. Much better use of my time.

I listen to Jerry Doyle in that time slot now. Although Jerry does get a bit carried away with his rhetoric at times.

And he didn't challenge Pat Buchanan or Ron Paul nearly as much as I would have preferred when he had them on. More than Hannity does, though.

I'm no military expert, but what the Israelis are doing isn't remotely like a blitz. I believe that refers to mass armor penetrations accompanied by mounted infantry, followed by mass infantry to hold captured ground, all under mass air power.

I could be wrong, but ask the French. They saw it first hand.

I like Sean Hannity. Unless he is one of the greatest actors, he seems like a very decent good guy.

I am upset that he continues to respectfully deal with Buchanan, never confronting him for his rabid anti Semitism.

At the risk of re-using an old punch line......the reason the Blitz was so effective against the French is that the Germans marched in backwards, making the French think they were leaving........

re: #148 buzzsawmonkey

Ooh. I like that.

re: #148 buzzsawmonkey

The Israelis, by all accounts, are as usual going in on tiptoe:

1) They are doing their best to avoid collateral civilian casualties, which is no mean feat given Hamas' penchant for using civilians as shields;

2) They are trucking in loads of humanitarian aid to ensure that the civilian population suffers as little as possible while the fighting is still going on;

3) They have willingly suspended hostilities for short periods, despite the advantage this gives their genocidal foes, in order to ensure the possibility that humanitarian aid can reach civilians.

Anything less like a "blitzkrieg" than this is difficult to imagine. And naturally, bigots such as Buchanan, and the willfully ignorant fatmouth news media, and the stinking hypocrites of the UN, give Israel no credit at all for these astounding acts of self-sacrifice on the altar of "humanitarianism."

That's because "Blitzkrieg" is such a catchy word to say. And it pulls up the type of imagery that would put Israel in the role of the bad guy.

You are correct. The Germans invented Combined Arms warfare - which remains the standard to this day.

You are absolutely correct. Blitzkrieg, by definiton, is a no holds barred, decisive and devastating application of miltary power. If the IDF were truly conducting Blitzkrieg this would have been over in 24 to 48 hours.

Brief History of France at War Part 1

An unofficial synopsis

Gallic Wars - Lost
In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.

Hundred Years War - Mostly lost
Saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare: "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman."

Italian Wars - Lost
France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.

Wars of Religion
France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots.

Thirty Years War
France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

War of Devolution - Tied
Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.

The Dutch War - Tied

War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War - Lost...
but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

War of the Spanish Succession - Lost
The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved ever since.

American Revolution
In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare: "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

French Revolution - Won
Primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

The Napoleonic Wars - Lost
Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.

The Franco-Prussian War - Lost
Germany first plays the role of drunk frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

World War I - Tied...
and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States.

World War II - Lost
Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

War in Indochina - Lost
French forces plead sickness, take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu.

Algerian Rebellion - Lost
Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare: "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Esquimaux.

1991 Gulf War - Won
Refer to Second Rule of French Warfare: "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

War on Terrorism - France
Keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

FINAL TALLY: Won = 3; Lost = 10; Tied = 5.

Now, do we REALLY want them on our side?

Buchanan said the territories are places where people are "brought in and treated with great cruelty." Seems to me the only people being "brought in" are terror trainers.

He also said the US was correct to go after Afghanistan because it didn't hand over al Queda operatives responsible for 9-11. Well, Hamas is not only firing off rockets into Israel but it is THE GOVERNMENT of the territory, legal or not. Who then has just as must right, and obligation, to pursue its enemies, if not Israel?

That was probably from Thames Television's terrific The World at War.

If you haven't seen it yet, Ralph Peters let the el cubos have it with both barrels.

[A]bove all, the most-destructive racists in the world today are mainstream leftists. Want the truth? The Left codes Israel as white and, therefore, inherently an oppressor. Israel is held to the highest standard of our civilization and our legal codes - and denied the right to self-defense.

But the Left tacitly believes that people with darker skins are inferior and can't be expected to behave at a civilized level. Leftists expect terrorist movements or African dictators to behave horribly. It's the post-modern, latte-sucking version of the "little brown brother" mentality.

Obama is unqualified in both the experience and the judgement to be President of the United States. He is going to be a disaster as President. He has shown us through his nominations for cabinet positions that this wasn't a momentary lapse in judgement on his part, but a pattern of behavior that is going to effect the country down to the very bedrock upon which it is built.

One of the sad aspects to this synopsis is individually and in certain units, the French Army is good and always has been. But, historically, they seem to have had the worst military leadership at the very senior levels as has ever been seen historically and worldwide.

Precisely. The last battlefield victory the French achieved on their own* was the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914, but then they sacked the French commander, Charles Lanrezac, for having retreated from the frontier the previous month.

_{*The British Expeditionary Force participated, but it was relatively small contingent.}

Indeed.

re: #177 Dustyvet

I have seen photographs of Hamas doing the "Goose Step"

Hezbollah takes it one step further -- they've adopted the Nazi salute.

The only difference between Hamas/Hezbollah and the Nazis is that Hamas and Hezbollah wear green. Well, that and the ability to actually run a country, at least for a while. Hamas has proven beyond a doubt that they couldn't run a convenience store, let alone a country.

This isn't really a valid criticism of PB, but C-SPAN followed him along with their cameras at his home while he explained his personal writing process. It just seemed to me that he had the most time-consuming gawd-awful process I have ever seen. Basically, a lot of re-drafts and revisions. I may have missed something, but the way he explained it just seemed overly complicated. If he is happy with it, okay we all have our personal quirks but I amazed he is able to get anything written with his system.

re: #179 Iron Fist

Let me see, Wright is an anti-American anti-white bigot, and Ayers is a unrepetant motherfucking terrorist. Why shouldn't they bre the only thing that we hear about Obama?

snip

Why do the goddamn fucking Leftists get the pass?

Obama is unqualified in both the experience and the judgement to be President of the United States. He is going to be a disaster as President. He has shown us through his nominations for cabinet positions that this wasn't a momentary lapse in judgement on his part, but a pattern of behavior that is going to effect the country down to the very bedrock upon which it is built.

If you make the association with Obama's minister a issue, you could do the same with the some at Palin's church for example. As for Ayers, the association on a board and a meeting in his home was percieved as weak connection by the voters, especially when even some on the right had the same sort of connections with Ayers. If it could be shown that Obama heard those old sermons and remained silent, or that he was closers to Ayers, hammering it might have worked
I'm not saying either one was a respectable citizen, just that loose associations don't sway the voters and beating that dead horse got no where.

re: #221 buzzsawmonkey

Buchanan speaks the international lingua franca of Jew-hater Fellatio, which is a kind of Esperanto for bigots. It is the only tongue he needs.

Ooh, buzz is talkin' dirty!

re: #210 jcm

The Palestinians would have loved to get pictures of the dead animals and claim it was an Israeli missile. Also it looks like the fuse wires run under a stack of donated food bags left out in the rain to rot.

re: #198 Killgore Trout

Good find, KT!
Thanks.
Animals are not the ones in those cages.
They're the ones laying the fuse.
And, were those bags of donated food used as sandbags?
I couldn't read the labels.

An association of twenty years isn't generally recognized as a loose association. The majority of marriages don't last that long.

What foul language? That's just the vernacular, the same as I would address to my own mother...

We won't even mention the quotes Obama attributed to Wright referring to him as a mentor and guiding influence. Well, ok, I did mention them. This wasn't a loose association.

re: #201 Dustyvet

No idea, never seen any author given credit for it.

I'm 99.9% certain it's in one of the books of his I've read. It's not new, but started making the rounds on the Internet in 2003.

please forgive the mental image but i really hate this momzar about at the same level as the A.N.S.W.E.R. S*****S

I think so.

re: #186 MandyManners

Why doesn't Pat just move to Brussels?

He doesn't speak Dutch or French, and he might trip over a leftover piece of ordinance from WWI. Besides, VB couldn't pay him as much as he's raking in now.

The reason it was a weak connection with the voters is because the MFM decided to make it a weak connection and downplay it or ignore it.

That's just a random photo. Enter Hamas salute in Google Images, and you get hundreds of ones (showing both Hamas and Hizbullah incidentally - the difference being mainly that Hamas wears green while Hizbullah is yellow, although both are really drenched in red - the blood of their victims).

If you take a look at the comments, her column did not go over too well with the readers.

Marjorie Eagan is a Peggy Noonan wannabe. Her compass is all over the place. But the one thing she is consistent on is her desire to be accepted into the teaparty set.

i enjoyed chatting on line with my son (the one in Nahal Chardi) he enjoyed watch some of the gaza web cam esp the part with the helo and jets and told me to thank Charles for it i wish he had a LGF account but currently he only has a few hours of access to the web so he will never be able to sign up. CHARLES is there anyway i can get him a LGF account?
