Murtha later announced he and Mother Sheehan are an item.

Murtha was the guest speaker at a town hall meeting organized by Rep. Kendrick B. Meek, D-Miami, at Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay Campus. Meek’s mother, former Rep. Carrie Meek, D-Miami, was also on the panel.

Let's hope the Meek don't inherit the earth.

mother of...

Fuck John Murtha and the Donkey in rode in on.

PIMF Donkey he rode in on.
crap.

OK, we'll pull out of Iraq, Mr. Murtha.

How soon will world peace follow?

Murtha wants to INVADE Okinawa.

This in itself should be enough to remove any credibility the guy has.

My ego is this big.

Whatever. Murtha is a huge threat to our own country,a traitor and possibly as crazy as Kos.

And the Meek shall inherit...what, exactly?

/even Jesus got a few things wrong

Adjust your meds John.

Asshat.

realwest,

I told you it would rain.

Now I predict it will never stop :D

I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he has clearly gone round the bend. Makes me wonder about his actual military service, I think that will need another look.

The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing

Of course he would say this.

A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

Treasonous bastard. Of course the collaborationist media is poised to immediately drop their "You're not allowed to criticize a veteran or the parent of a slain veteran" ploy the instant such a person has views that don't follow the leftist party line.

#12 JammieWearingFool - Yeah - you had to listen to me and water the lawn, didn't ya? Geez!

:D

Murtha is the Moonbat-Gift-That-Keeps-On-Giving.

First, the brillian plan to "redeploy" to Okinawa (even my 11 year old can look at a globe and ask "why would he say that...it's near Japan!", now this..

Karl Rove needs to get Murtha his own TV show. The more exposure he gets, the more wacky things he says..the TV cameras and the cheering moonbat throungs just egg him on...and the more credibility the Demoncrats and their MSM cheerleaders will lose.

I think Larry Hagman needs to play Murtha in a Burns & Allen- type movie with Susan Sarandon as Mother Sheehan...except that there's no "straight man."

Every time he opens his mouth he offers more proof that this former Marine is now just a maroon.

I am starting to think that Murtha's trying to set up some post election loss speaking engagements to the moonbats.

How dare anyone question St. Jack's military service.

But Murtha is a Democrat accusing a Republican. So it fell to the Cybercast News Service, (CNSNews.com, which I founded), and reporters Marc Morano and Randy Hall to look into the Murtha military record. What they found were a lot of similarities to the military record of John Kerry.

Like Kerry, Murtha’s medals came for surface wounds that never caused his evacuation from the battlefield, and like Kerry, he attempted to get his medals by political manipulation, in Murtha’s case, through then-Rep. John Saylor. But Saylor’s office felt it was odd for Murtha to seek medals for “superficial lacerations.”

Murtha also told differing stories about when and where he was wounded in action. A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story reported in 2002 that Murtha had facial lacerations. In 1994, the Uniontown (Pa.) Herald-Standard quoted Murtha saying he was “wounded in the arm” for one medal and “my knee was banged up and my arm was banged up when a helicopter was shot down” for the other. Then, Morano and Hall uncovered a June 1, 1967 report in the Johnstown (Pa.) Tribune-Democrat quoting from a letter from Murtha to his wife describing his injuries as being "struck in the ankle" by a "shot that ricocheted off the helicopter."

Since there were so many similarities to Kerry – including the fact that author Morano was also one of the first reporters on the Swift Boat Veterans story – the left predictably threw an ugly fit. It was not long, then, for Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne to load his air-rifle for rhetorical battle. “I underestimated the viciousness of the right wing,” he began.

If Congressman Jack Murtha is going to be the Cindy Sheehan of the House Of Representatives, He would present himself better if he wore a pink tutu when speaking. Right now he only sounds deranged, the tutu would both affirm and improve his image.

The guy has gone over the edge this time and I don't think he'll be coming back. His constituency needs to force this blathering old fool out of office. Enough is enough!

Guess I'll add the obvious too, that our media seems perfectly content to not explore claims from liberal leaders that we must immediately surrender Iraq to the jihadis "because it is a failure" and "because it has been a success" at the same time. Or the utter lack of detailed proposals on how to do things better. "We want to wait until September to see how issues are polling and what looks most promising then, that'll be what we believe in." Yes, we need more leaders who can't take a stand unless based upon hindsight.

This guy should be Speaker of the House. Such insight, such knowledge, such support of the troops.

The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing

Those who beat the swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't.

Murtha is in the advanced stage: the seventh age of man.

He's well down the McCarthy road of just making a fool of himself every time he opens his yap.

Um, I guess Charles will ignore the news I posted yesterday:

[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

Mr. Murtha was right all along.

*their*

I think Winston Churchill said that.

I'm still trying to figure out just HOW LONG it's been since any of the DIRE PREDICTIONS the Dems and the Moonbat Left have made have actually turned out to be true . . . ? ? ?

Unbelievable.

It never ceases to amaze me how tolerant Americans are of people who say the most slanderous, insidious and destructive things about their own country.

I guess in the long run that is a strength. In the short run it looks terrible.

#31 BigZ

Have any?

He's lost his mind. Someone, get a straight jacket and haul him away, please.

#29, Joe Wilson. The news is never ignored on LGF. Certain shitbird AKAs are.

In fairness to Murtha, that's not a direct quote. As we all know the media are not above making shit up. True, they usually make shit up about Republicans but still...

Now, I did find another version of the story that had this direct quote:

"(The United States) became the target when Abu Ghraib came along," Murtha said.

Right. If only soldiers hadn't put underwear on the head of some terrorists then 9/11 wouldn't have happened. If only Lindy England hadn't gone to Iraq those two poor soldiers wouldn't have been tortured to death last week.

Nice job Mr. Murtha. Way to blame your own country for the actions of barbarians.

#32 Pro-Bush Canuck

Unbelievable.

It never ceases to amaze me how tolerant Americans are of people who say the most slanderous, insidious and destructive things about their own country.

I guess in the long run that is a strength. In the short run it looks terrible.

Murtha has a constitutionally protected right to make a complete blithering idiot of himself in public - and appears to be exploiting it to its fullest.

Attention, voters of the 12th Congressional District in PA:

Your representative's use-by date has expired. Please retire him, and substitute him with somebody whose brain is still functional. The rest of the Nation will thank you for it.

American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to an audience of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon.

I keep thinking I must have misread that. But no, that's what it says. Murtha has lost his mind; on one side, there's a coalition presence in Iraq, trying to create a stable government where the people who live under it don't get killed in factional violence, or by their government, and have a chance to build better lives. On the other, two states run by people who seem a few bricks shy of a full load (to put it mildly) who want to create nuclear missiles.

The statement is ridiculous on its face.

Murtha needs professional mental health help, and he needs it now.

Oh I hope that some of these comments are on tape. Would make for a great campaign commercial for his opponent.

Always with the panties, these people.

#4 realwest

eeewww!

NO!

:D

I have a comparison for John Murtha.

John Murtha's presence in the U.S. Congress is more dangerous than al Qaeda's presence in Iraq.

Could it be Mr. Murtha has saved thousands of American troops lives by standing up to "stay the course" which obviously the Iraqi government does not want?

He has the right to remain silent,he just lacks the ability.

props to Ron White

#29 joewilson

"Murtha was right all along" about what?

Your linked story is a one paragraph blurb. It doesn't tell me much.

#33 Spiny Norman

Not yet;
I'm still thinking.

I'm remembering all the dire predictions of the disasterous consequences of invading Iraq:

"The Arab street would explode"
"Unspeakable numbers of casualties as US Troops would be forced to fight Sadaam's army hand to hand, door to door all throughout Baghdad"
"He'll use chemical weapons"
"Bush is using the NSA to spy on Americans"
"Tax cuts for the rich will bankrupt our grandchildren"

. . . The list is endless!

#29 joewilson

Okay, you just linked to a page with fifty-eleven stories.

Care to be more specific?

#29 joewilson

Uhhh...joewilson- you are an idiot!
What the hell is in that link that you posted that says that Murtha was "Right all along"?

The Prime Minister set no timetable to withdraw U.S. Troops:

"The prime minister made no mention of any timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces in a 24-point national reconciliation plan he presented to parliament".

Murtha wanted to withdraw Troops last year! So how was Murtha right?

And that Yahoo story that you linked failed to mention that any amnesty would not be offered to terrorists convicted or suspected of serious crimes or crimes against Americans.

22 JammieWearingFool

What they found were a lot of similarities to the military record of John Kerry.

Say it ain't so Jack.

Incredible. A brush with fame and this quy turns into an absolute idiot to get the camera back on himself.

Remember that frosh house member who first accused Murtha of cutting and running? Hassert made her apologise. She was obviously right and should be awarded full credit. Typical GOP. Eat their own.

All democrats are traitors.

And if they are not but they tolerate this and they tolerate the cut-and-run bill...they are traitors.

Scum, subversive scum, enemies of Freedom and enemies of America.

Kick the Dems out of both the Houses with your vote !

How do they dare speak exactly like al qaeda ? shame on them !

It still doesn't make murtha right.

Next?

In his own mind, Murtha is still preparing a run for the post of Majority Leader.

He just doesn't want to give Dennis Kucinich an opportunity to get to his right.

...and you wouldn't have the freedom to blog on LGF! (that part I could live with)

#29 joeplame

Murtha was right about what? Maliki's "olive branch"? The Iraqi victims of jihadi violence don't think much of it.

Maliki knows full well the Sunni "insurgents" and foreign jihadis do not want peace, only victory. They will reject his offer out of hand and will be seen to all the world for what they are: bloodthirsty criminals. The Iraqi government and the Coalition forces should then have a free hand to destroy them once and for all.

By the way, your demented hero Murtha thinks turning tail and running from Somalia in disgrace was a good thing. The man encourages our sworn enemies and is a menace to everyone in uniform.

In a valiant attempt to figure out what joewilson was talking about, I have been link-clicking on the page he directed us to.

So far, I've checked four articles, and the most we get is a couple one- or two-sentence paragraphs hitting the high points of the Iraqi PM's proposals.

In direct contradiction of joe's point, the PM is suggesting the strengthening of Iraq's domestic order-keeping aparatus (I'd like to see how they're going to check and balance that), disarming militias, and offering amnesty to those "members of the resistance" who have not committed crimes (pretty standard stuff), and has set no time-table for the withdrawal of coalition forces.

I still have no idea how he gets "Murtha was right" out of this.

Lord, grant me the serenity to ignore the trolls,
the courage to debate with honest opponents,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Amen.

Murtha is a damned Democrat, he can never be "right"

#58 joewilson

Your own link makes you look like an idiot!

Al-Maliki also said he wanted a general pardon for thousands of prisoners who are determined not to have committed "crimes and clear terrorist actions."

Man, you people have a problem dealing with reality.

He was right about redeployment, the troops have done a great job and deserve a parade.

Do not worry, I will not sue or call the FBI, so bash away. LOL.

More evidence that "Liberalism is a mental disorder"...

I found myself at a liquor store yesterday (hey, a fellow lizardiod used to work at this one) and in the parking lot were two older men...like relics from the 60's...getting into a mini-van. The van was just covered with bumper stickers. All attacking either Bush, Christians, or both. Even the sides were covered.

This just isn't normal. Putting all of this crap on your car and driving around town. I could maybe see it if you 25 and you decerate your car to support your local sports team. But for a couple of goofy looking guys in their late 50's to show their hatred like this...

The Koslamists and other nutroots could only round up 200 inhabitants of the Leftisphere for Murtha's appearance?

In Miami?

I'll bet a Markos Shithispantsis hissy-fit that Karl Rove would draw in the thousands.

At at least $500 a pop.

It still doesn't make murtha right.

Now that this particular classified plan has been revealed to the terrorists by their allies in the Lamestream Media, I imagine it must now be completely revised.

joewilson's logic: Mad Jack Murtha calls for immediate surrender and withdrawal of American troops. American troops begin to leave when the Iragis begin handling their own security, 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4 or...) years later. Murtha was right, see?

Goalposts on wheels.

Is that his choice of word, or your distortion? I loathe Murtha, but there is no need to inflate his wrongs.
And whether that's his word or yours, how can we "invade" Okinawa when we've been there in strength for the last 61 years? And have in fact been edging out of there at an increasing pace of late?

"INVADE" is MY choice of a word to represent his proposal.

He chooses to use the word "redeploy" in lieu of what might rightfully be better described as "surrender" or "withdraw".

I don't believe that MY word is any more of a distortion than his, and it was done to make a point. /sarcasm

Hay, idiot, how about just providing what the man said and not filling up on the usual crap from the LATinkle. The quote that counts, taken from your citation, is:

"The launch of this national reconciliation initiative should not be read as a reward for the killers and criminals or acceptance of their actions. No, one thousand times no. There can be no agreement with them unless they face the justice," he said.

The new Iraqi leader, in power just more than a month, said he was realistic about the difficult road that lay ahead.

"We realize that there is a legion of those who have tread the path of evil (who) ... will continue with their criminal acts," he said.

But he held out an offer of peace to those who would renounce violence, while threatening retribution and punishment to those who would not.

"To those who want to rebuild our country, we present an olive branch ... And to those who insist on killing and terrorism, we present a fist with the power of law to protect our country and people," he told lawmakers, who applauded his speech."

That is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the jihadists.

But the truth is that the new boss is little different from the old boss — only smaller. ...

And so the Kingpin has his relationships and his understandings and his networks and his compromises. In just a few short years he has achieved a level of self-importance it took those in the pre-blog political class decades to acquire.

He has challenged his enemy and become it.

Purported Taliban Tape Blasts Afghanistan, U.S.

Karzai did not comment on the tape's authenticity during an interview with a cable news network. But he said that if Omar is "really in charge," he should emerge from hiding and "face the danger that he is causing to hundreds of young people in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

"It needs guts to do what he's talking about, and he doesn't have it," Karzai told CNN's "Late Edition."

"They exist in the form of attacking schools, attacking children, killing innocent people," he said. "They are no match for our power."

I haven't put any conservative or Republican stickers on my car, because I'm afraid it would be vandalized. Quite simply.

I read something, somewhere about the statistics of vandalized cars with political bumper stickers...and it didn't paint a pretty picture of the left -- far more W cars were vandalized than JohnJohn cars.

[Link: www.newsmax.com...]

After terrorists attacked U.S. troops in Mogadishu, Somalia 12 years ago, anti-Iraq war Democrat, Rep. John Murtha urged then-President Clinton to begin a complete pullout of U.S. troops from the region.

Clinton took the advice and ordered the withdrawal - a decision that Osama bin Laden would later credit with emboldening his terrorist fighters and encouraging him to mount further attacks against the U.S.

"Our welcome has been worn out," Rep Murtha told NBC's "Today" show in Sept. 1993, a month after 4 U.S. Military Police had been killed in Somalia by a remote-detonated land mine.

The Pennsylvania Democrat announced that President Clinton had been "listening to our suggestions. And I think you'll see him move those troops out very quickly."

I thought the early paragraphs, about the remodeling of his house, were the well-placed knife that takes a moment to declare itself.

I don't begrudge Kos his house, or its remodel, or the flat-panel tv. But I bet his followers won't be pleased, particularly those who know what property in the Bay Area costs, and how much it costs to do even a minor remodel.

Oh, and it's a "handyman" doing the work. That doesn't mean anything - but I bet Newsweek was doing one of its patented, "Things that make you say, 'Hmmm'" moments.

It's not a puff-piece. It's a hatchet job.

That protest I linked to in Culver City is trumpeting that the Muslims at the mosque have built tunnels from the mosque to a building across the street.

We wish it could happen that way. There are no guarantees when the bad guys hide behind the innocents.

OT: CAIR: Deciding Who is a Muslim?

The council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has appointed itself an additional mission; deciding who may call themselves a “Muslim”. Various law enforcement agencies recently rounded up a group of seven Miami, Florida men on terrorism charges:

[Link: www.cnn.com...]

Shortly after the arrests, CAIR spokesperson Ahmed Bedier had this to say:

"Given that the reported beliefs of this bizarre group have nothing to do with Islam, we ask members of the media to refrain from calling them 'Muslims"

[Link: www.cair.com...]

The truth, an alien institution not quite fully understood or welcome at CAIR, may be an entirely different matter.

From CNN news:

“Narseal Batiste, considered the recruiter of the group, according to the document, tried to reach out to al Qaeda by contacting someone who was an FBI operative posing as a member of the terrorist network.”

“Batiste allegedly told the informant that he was organizing an Islamic army to wage a jihad in the United States.”

From the indictment:

"The conspirators pledged an oath to al Qaeda and supported a purported mission of al Qaeda to destroy FBI buildings within the United States."

“…document said that Batiste wanted to "attend al Qaeda training, along with five of his soldiers, during the second week of April and further detailed his mission to wage a 'full ground war' against the United States in order to 'kill all the devils we can' ... beginning with the destruction of the Sears Tower."

“…accuses the seven men of swearing an oath of loyalty to al Qaeda.”

Now that Bedier has demonstrated his new-found ability to determine just who is, and who is not, a Muslim, maybe he can help point out Muslim terrorists?

Mr. Bedier? North America is waiting…

#178 Doss

the muslims at the mosque have built tunnels from the mosque to a building across the street.

Probably a standard feature for the headquarters of the invaders' army: it allows them to take weapons and explosives out of the mosque.

It would be interesting to know how many barracks of the invaders' army (aka mosques) have built in the States and if this feature is common...

ARRRGHHH!

Some pompous leftist windbag sitting behind me at lunch:

"I saw a victim of Basque terrorism who had his eye blown out by ETA terrorists on TV. He said he wanted to make peace with them- enough is enough! I think only people who have never been the victims of terrorism want to kill the terrorists. The real victims always want peace".

Yeah, asshole. THats why the Israelis built a wall and are killing hamas terrorists as quickly as they can.

#181 Dianna

That's what I was wondering. They don't grant those kind of easements to just anybody. And what possible compelling reason could there be? And seeing as it runs on public property, I wonder what kind of rights the authorities have to inspect it?

#184 P-L

That detail, the tunnel, just strikes me as weird. Where do you put the dirt, how do you get the construction materials in, and, most of all, how do you put a tunnel under a city street without making the city in question very, very unhappy? You surely can't do it without notice.

How on earth did this happen? I really want to see the permit. Really. And the inspection reports, too.

This is just wild.

Why is an Arizona paper writing about a Pennsylvania politician talking to 200 people in Florida? Judging from the reader comments, it doesn't seem like this was news that inquiring Arizonan minds wanted to know...

You gotta stop being a stranger.

grain belt great for cooking hot dogs

but does anyone really drink the stuff.

#187 Dianna

Obviously, they couldn't have done it without a permit, and an easement. They didn't just dig, I'm sure they got the road closed for a few days, cut the asphalt, dug deep with a very large backhoe, poured lots of concrete around lots of rebar, and generally did everything with the blessings of and cooperation of the local officials. Which is why you have to ask why? Or are they too intimidated by them to even ask?

My BS detector is registering on that one. I suspect that there might be another explanation. It might just be a utility conduit, drainage/sewer pipe or maybe even and underground tunnel for acsess from a parking lot across the street. If they were really going to use it as an escape tunnel they wouldn't have aquired permits.

They shoot traitors, don't they?

Can't stand it, but that's just me.

#187 Dianna

It could be the usual PC syndrome: THEY declare that they need a tunnel for their "religious" ceremonies and the city promptly bows to the multi-culti philosophy...

It would have to be an enormous facility for it to be eather of the first two. And as for the third, why do they need an underground tunnel to get to the parking across the street in Southern California?

Doss-

Thanks for that.

#194 Killgore

I want to see the permits, actually. If there are no permits, and the tunnel really exists, then someone needs to pay major fines at the very least.

You could be right, and your BS meter may be reacting correctly.

But a tunnel going under a city street? How could you get a permit for that?

#181 Dianna

Did the mosque get permits for their tunnel? Man, I'd love to see the application!

It sounds like they do have permits, but I'd love to know how the hell they got a permit to build tunnels under a city street. I wonder if any other mosques in America have tunnels.

Chanting "GUILTY" and "Terrorism HERE!" as we point to the Culver City Mosque which has produced a great number of terrorists including two of the 911 hijackers. Also chanting "Tunnels Underground!" to let the neighborhood know that they have dug escape tunnels under the road from the mosque. This is confirmed by permits that have been uncovered and the mosque leaders did not deny it.

#197 Poitiers-Lepanto

Like the old bumper sticker goes "welfare should be as hard to get as a building permit". Maybe that needs to be updated to "building permits should be as easy for kufr to get as muslims"...

#197 P-L

Maybe. But in Southern California? In Culver City?

Has anyone ever heard of earthquakes?

The tunnel mystery

two more ideas:

- they need it to let Murtha get in and out of the mosque

- they came to know about the tunnels under the White House, they felt slighted and humiliated and a local dems administration built a tunnel for them

#207 Dianna

earthquakes?

If they disturb the imams' plans, they will be banned as ISLAMOPHOBE.

#184 Poitiers-Lepanto

Probably a standard feature for the headquarters of the invaders' army: it allows them to take weapons and explosives out of the mosque.

It would be interesting to know how many barracks of the invaders' army (aka mosques) have built in the States and if this feature is common...

I don't know how common it is, but I'd be willing to bet that this isn't the only mosque with tunnels. We know that "Palestinians" have a good deal of experience digging tunnels.

Again, the fact that they got approval is eye-opening, but if they got an easement to put a private structure on public land, that's extrordinary. Not completely unheard of, but not routine, either.

#201 Earth2moonbat
I'm thinking the "tunnel" might only be 6 inches in diameter for sewer pipes or utility lines. As far as an underground walkway; I used to live near a church on a busy street in the DC area, they had overflow parking across the street and the traffic on sundays were a nightmare. Backups for miles! they finaly put in a pedestrian overpass and all problems were solved.
Just think out loud on this, the tunnel claims just sound fishy to me.

One need applaud this guy Murtha for continuing to stand by his convictions. His ship (the Progressive) is sinking, and slowly go down with, he shall. Applause, Applause, for, as he continues to spew these absurdities, he educate all as to just how darn wacky he truly is. Re-elect John Murtha.

Iraq PM Offers Olive Branch to Insurgents

"The launch of this national reconciliation initiative should not be read as a reward for the killers and criminals or acceptance of their actions. No, one thousand times no. There can be no agreement with them unless they face the justice," he said.

The new Iraqi leader, in power just more than a month, said he was realistic about the difficult road that lay ahead.

"We realize that there is a legion of those who have tread the path of evil (who) … will continue with their criminal acts," he said.

But he held out an offer of peace to those who would renounce violence, while threatening retribution and punishment to those who would not.

"To those who want to rebuild our country, we present an olive branch … And to those who insist on killing and terrorism, we present a fist with the power of law to protect our country and people," he told lawmakers, who applauded his speech...

It might not be a fishy as it sounds. They have almost no arterial intersections in Riyadh, because they have overpass/underpass intersections all over. If the Saudis are funding this, they may simply have said "do it", without considering costs or alternatives.

Utilities would belong to the local government, and not the mosque. If there's a tunnel that connects the two mosque facilities, and they had to get a permit for it, it's not utilities.

I think the permit is what raises the most flags for me. If the feds raid the mosque and the tunnel is on file it's going to be the worlds worst escape tunnel.

So dark that you couldn't see through a 2 inch glass of it, but kind of a sweet chocolate-like after-taste. mmm - the memories.

It could be the usual PC syndrome: THEY declare that they need a tunnel for their "religious" ceremonies and the city promptly bows to the multi-culti philosophy...

As someone who provides technical review (transportation engineering) for development proposals, that isn't exclusive to the "PC police-protected" religions.

There have been a couple of cases where someone has thrown out an argument that they needed ___ (a 90,000 sf church 15 miles out in the country, were exempt from the usual development conditions applied to an equivalent traffic generating use, etc.) for their "religious freedoms", and (basically) extended their collective middle fingers at those who would have to live next door to this activity.

There's only one group whom I've never seen try to pull a fast one, or use this trump card/get out of mitigation 'free' card, in my 22 years doing this... the LDS church. Straight shooters. Play by the same rules. Nice people.

(and, I'm a back-slid Catholic...to put the potential question to rest)

In a fit of bored Sunday afternoon madness I decided to put the Iranian regime up for sale on eBay. Beats watching reality TV or "Friends" reruns.

Clicking around the web in search of amusement, I found Ann Althouse's post on the Newsweek article about Kos.

The only thing she gets wrong is here:

Those he's accused of "digging around in my past" have denied that they're doing it, but, really, why wouldn't they be doing it?

Because the article specifically quotes Kos as saying:

"I've gotten reliable tips that Hillary's operation has been digging around my past (something I confronted them about, btw, and never got a denial),

Aside from that, a very interesting discussion and analysis.

If all those troops in Iraq are destabalizing Iraq, would not moving them to Kuwait destablize Kuwait?

It's not exactly that, yet. But Kos' reactions and the self-savaging that's likely to follow (hint, the Newsweek piece isn't going to make his readers happy), may actually help Hilary.

This is interesting, in a meta-political kind of way. None of this is of immediate interest, because it's too early to have any impact on the mid-terms or 2008. I really think this has everything to do with positioning, and investigating who the Democratic candidate really wants as an ally.

Folks, if anyone thinks we're going to get tough and fight these monsters like they should be fought, I think there's a lot of delusional thinking going on. They're winning without even having to kill people. See Europe. See our media, politicians, average citizen. Many think: EVERYTHING will be okay. We're the United States of America! Right! As they infiltrate slowly and methodically, daily. Are things getting better my friends?!

I forgot about Cold Spring. Seriously bad beer.

Jerome Armstrong has taken time away from his astrology and shady stock deals to bless us with an LLL attempt at blogging about Eurabia...
Europe = Left = Islamic terrorism. 'Eurabia' slander pushed by MSM
by Jerome a Paris

The Economist has a stunningly offensive front page this week, recycling one of the worst talking points of the US right wing, that of "Eurabia", which encapsulates a mix of glee (that Europe is weak, unable to defend itself and declining), fear (that it will be used as a base to attack the US) and contempt (that it let itself be destroyed by such an enemy)...

First lie: Immigrant = Muslim = Arab (the article makes no such claim nor does the quotation he cites-ed)
...
Second lie: The rioters in France last year were 'Muslims' (the graph show the majority were French citizens of African descent, he imagines that this is proof the they weren't Muslims-ed)

You'd think he would have enough sense to lay low for a while and stop embarassing himself and the LLL any further.
/Oh well.

Another one was Blatz--good name for it since it used to give me bad gas.

Best Month Ever™ isn't helping your mood, is it, cheeshead?

And people thought Ann Coulter's "the reason fragging was invented" was over-the-top. Her hyperbole is prophetic prescience.

Aaron!

He isn't a historian or a political scientist, by his own admission.

Lessee, he gets a well-paying gig as a political consultant and he's not a historian or a political scientist. Oh, that makes a ton of sense.

Old Style!

I still remember the World's Largest Six-Pack.
