Wanted: Peace activist.

Thinking not required.

Thanks for the HT, Charles.

It seems like a lot of prominent left-wingers want to kill George Bush.

Ms. Williams started her speech by asking every member of the audience to hug everyone around them.

Drugs, not hugs.

/Antipsychotics in large doses are needed for this group

"If I wasn't so peaceful, I'd do it quicker than Yasser Arafat..."

Maybe she just wants to kill him softly with her song? Would that be a nonviolent murder?

These people have no sense, nor try to make any. The cognitive dissonance is amazing.

I'll bet she knows some IRA thugs that would try to do it.

The Nobel Prize continues to devalue faster than the Peso.

"The muslim world is suffering beyond belief"

Reap ---> sow
Play ---> pay!

BTW, this "Irish peace activist" doesn't sound very peaceful to me. Wishing someone dead is the same in the eyes of G_d as killing them. Maybe they should revoke her "Nobel Peace Prize."

How come peace hippies are so violent?

Can we rename it the Nobel RoP prize?

/you know with the desire to kill and all

“No, I don’t mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.”

She didn't mean it before she meant it.

Right now, I could kill Betty Williams. No I don't mean that.

/wink, wink, nudge, nudge, "Ya know what I mean."

"The Muslim world right now is suffering beyond belief"- she must have been misquoted - she meant to say "The Muslim world right now is causing suffering beyond belief"

Terminal case of "Moonbaticus Analcephalitis."
That is all.

re: #9 Black George Bush

I wish I had said that.

Imagine the outrage if someone said that about Ted Kennedy--in Dallas Texas, of all places--November 1963 doesn't ring any bells for this Nobel dummkopf.

And that woman won a Nobel Prize for peace of all categories. The irony.

Non-violent death?
What is she going to do? Riverdance him to death?

“Unless the president of the United States is held responsible for what he’s doing and what he has done, there’s no one in the Muslim world who will forgive him.” ...

Gosh, Madam Peace Laureate, sounds like you're about to start justifying jihadist terrorism. Or have you crossed that line already?

[spit]

this is what cracks me up. You have the peaceniks that say "No More War" but if it came to that they had military power, they would not hesitate to wage war against who they considered war mongerers.

re: #20 NoSubmission

Non-violent death?
What is she going to do? Riverdance him to death?

that is no peaceful death, Sir.

She can be the Nobel Peace Prize Rage Girl.

Well, wasn't Nobel the inventor of dynamite?

there’s no one in the Muslim world who will forgive him.”

Because the Muslim world is known for their forgiving nature.

“The Muslim world right now is suffering beyond belief,” she said. “Unless the president of the United States is held responsible for what he’s doing and what he has done, there’s no one in the Muslim world who will forgive him.”

Because last time I checked, it was George Bush who was setting up IEDs outside the green zone and drilling holes into heads of unlucky Iraqi citizens. How friggin nuts do you have to be to make a statement like that? The Muslim world shouldnt worry about Bush nearly as much as they should worry about their OWN DAMN citizens who kill each other with complete comfort and ease.

I am deeply honored never to have received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Give the lie to your cause and your award, and say it from a prison cell. I accept this kind of weasel-talking, with extreme protest, from my fellow citizens. But from foreigners on American soil, this is beyond the pale. This should be a Secret Service matter.

Maybe she can hug him to death. That's non-violent, right?

Can one receive a Nobel Peace Prize and Fiskie in the same year?

re: #25 kansas

Well, wasn't Nobel the inventor of dynamite?

(no, really)

Hey...I'm beginning to think the name of this as the "Nobel Peace Prize" is wrong!

She says:
“Right now, I could kill George Bush,” she said at the Adam’s Mark Hotel and Conference Center in Dallas. “No, I don’t mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.”

She would "nonviolently kill" somebody if she could? Dead is dead. Violently or not. This "prize" should have been immediately ripped out of her hands.

It's time to put this dimwit in a burka.

Your point? He invented it to make mining safer and was shocked with its military applications.

re: #20 NoSubmission

Non-violent death?
What is she going to do? Riverdance him to death?

I'd call that extreme violence...

Put her on a plane and send her home. Immediately.

Then, list her with other known terrorists and NEVER let her back into the United States or its territories.

Quite simply, the Left strongly believes in that old slogan, "Error has no rights". If you don't tow the party line, then you're part of the problem. It's Stalinist in its simplicity, but brings us back to the old issue of "Quis custodiet ipsos custiodes". And the beat goes on.

re: #28 Occasional Reader That make TWO of us! What an absolutely perfect example of cognitive dissonance she emanates!

We could hug her until she stops breathing?

"

A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledgehammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic." 1984 Part 1, Chapter 1, pg. 16

It's a long flight from Ireland to Texas...She was probably drunk.

I'll thank her to keep her and her cohorts' scuzzy paws off my president.

Would slipping a bunch of roofies and quaaludes in President Bush's coffee count as non-violent killing?

Of course, I'm not sure a moonbat foreigner with expressed desires to see the President die could get a job in the White House kitchen.

They hate Bush because he took out bad guys. He didn't negotiate instead. (Well, he tried, they refused, so then he acted, but facts are beside the question.)

Bush went to war instead of talking to people, they say. That is the ultimate 'peace activist' sin. Because their firmest belief is that war can always be avoided with talk.

Except with Bush. They can see so clearly how some evil person like Bush cannot be bargained with and must be taken out.

But can't quite carry that nascent logic through to the next step, that if it is okay to take him out because he is evil, maybe, just maybe, it was okay to take out the Taliban and Baathists from power and Bush was never really evil in the first place.

So she says she wants to kill George Bush, thinks better of it, and retracts the statement. The she questions the possibility of killing someone non-violently. She must have thought it was possible and then adds "I'd love to be able to do that".

She just said she'd love to kill the President.

re: #53 DesertSage Hey Sage! They're only violent (and of course vile, venomous, and vitriolic ) if you disagree with them! When I was in Law School there was a Police Riot - seriously. Big Block party being held (a tradition for nearly 100 years) without a permit. Cops with no shields, no nametags, full riot gear attacked all the students gathered more or less peacefully, with "magic" in the air, and without warning, cops charged en masse and used nightsticks to bludgeon students and tear gas was thrown through the windows of restaurants and pizza parlors where students usually hung out.
A bunch of us retreated to my apartment where all the lefty loonies started ascribing all sorts of horrible attitudes towards the cops (the County Sheriff with all 10 of his men stood at the entrance to the footbridge, all with pump shotguns locked and loaded and denied entry to the campus to the Ithaca PD.). SO while they are all trashing all law enforcement types as bigots etc., I innocently mentioned the brave Sherriff and said I guess not all law enforcement types are bigots. I was SHUNNED for the next week or so. Can't interfere with the leftist mindset or you'll pay for it!

The Muslim world right now is suffering beyond belief

Let me guess who she believes to be at fault for this phenomenon...

-Not the mullahs starving their people to death in Iran over their bloodlust for the destruction of Israel and acquisition of nukes

-Not the marauding islamic killers in Darfur

-Not the genocidal terrorists in Iraq blowing up scores of innocent women and children on a daily basis, destroying schools, power grids, oil wells, and mosques

-Not the government of Saudi Arabia keeping its people filled with illiterate Jew hate

-Not the Madrassas of Pakistan indoctrinating children to be suicide murderers

Nope. None of those.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner: "I Would Love To Kill George Bush"
Written by David Flanagan
Published July 25, 2006

Nobel Laureate Betty Williams, winner of the Peace Prize in 1976 for co-founding Ireland's peace movement, on Monday told hundreds of school children in Brisbane, Australia that "I would love to kill George Bush." Ms. Williams' statement was greeted with applause and cheers from the audience.

See link in #74

Sounds to me like someone that needs to be on the No Fly list. Two identical threats to kill the POTUS within a year is at least one too many. Once might be a "mis-speak" but two? Ain't buying what she's selling.

re: #76 Trumanite

And who wouldn't expect the keynote speaker at a conference titled "the International Women’s Peace Conference" to include death threats?

Peace is the highest, most noble, purest aspiration. However they have misdefined peace. Their definition is that peace is the absence of PHYSICAL conflict. That the most moral position is that regardless of the provocation a physical means to stop the provocation is immoral.

However peace is not the height of human attainment. LIBERTY is. Liberty requires active measure to maintain, including violence. The surest, greatest, most secure peace is the peace that a society that embraces LIBERTY achieves.

The peace of the L³ is the peace of slaves.

Maybe the muslims should seperate themselves from that koran thingie and they'd reduce that "suffering beyond belief". Pun intended.

The way things are going lately, I find it impossible to trust our govt for much of anything. The reason Bush is so hated is partly because he comes across as too arrogant to take the time to communicate effectively. I no longer believe that he can't, because I've seen him do it on rare occasions. I now believe he just doesn't want to. I'd still support him over any dems that are running, but he has lost a lot of my respect, fwiw.

Lets here it for the Lebanese Army:

Lebanese artillery units have been firing shells into the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp in the north of the country after two soldiers were killed by al-Qaeda inspired militants.The army have been battling the fighters of Fatah al-Islam there for nearly eight weeks. There is precious little of the camp left.

Sorry, I find it interesting that she hasn't been given a visit by the guys with cool weapons, sunglasses and little earpieces yet.

BTW, what the Hell is someone from Northern Ireland doing lecturing US about how much suffering is being caused?

This could generate some more LGF threads:

Two other Nobel Peace Prize winners, American activist Jody Williams and Rigoberta Menchú Tum of Guatemala, will speak this week as part of the conference. Jody Williams, who was in the audience Wednesday, has also indicated she would speak about Mr. Bush.

Interesting footnote: Ronald Reagan praised Betty Williams in a radio address to the nation in 1977.

And of course being Irish she is an authority on the American Constitution. I doubt she has even read Blackstone. The usual big mouth small mind peace prize winner. These guys/gals could just as easily have been awarded the Darwin award in practically all cases. She should be declared a persona non gratia and returned to her country of origin with all future visas revoked.

I really wish these creeps would at least take the time to study the law a tad before they shoot their mouths off. Constitutional law is a complex area, however there are certain basic things that are there. Killing a sitting president is not one of them.

I see in the update that she already had a history of wanting to kill our President. So she STILL gets invited to speak at a "Peace Conference" after that? Re-defines the meaning of the word peace, I guess.

There is no more unchallenged verity in our times than that the World Wide Web, the Internet, is a boon to mankind. But as with nuclear or biological warfare, the Web is a dual-use technology. Technically adept Muslims, using out-of-the-box PC software and hardware, are outputting an electronic torrent of slick Web sites, discussion forums, videos, e-magazines and long-form movies, all with one purpose--to incite Muslims to join the jihad against the enemies of Islam in Baghdad, London, Glasgow or New York.

The Muslim world is suffering beyond belief from the fact that their leaders are genocidal dictators, thugs, lowlife scum sucking ideologues, and theocrats who seek to impose Islam on everyone around them and will slaughter those who oppose them. The Muslim world is full of Islamists who cow those who would otherwise oppose them with threats of violence and being branded apostates - a death sentence (and we know how they love to impose death sentences in the Muslim world - stoning those who commit adultery for example).

No, most of the violence in the Muslim world is Muslim on Muslim violence, and the US has done more to limit such violence than any Muslim leader has.

Didn't this same person say the same thing last year some time? Although I think she was outside the USA at that time.

"The Muslim world right now is suffering beyond belief" - ha. Suffer is as suffer does.

I remember Don Rumsfeld's slightly exasperated remark at some press conference that, "some people seem to think the natural state of humanity is wealth and prosperity - well, it isn't. The natural state is poverty."

I love how people have still failed to recognize that brutal internicine fighting, theo-political splitting, theft, ignorance, fanaticism and tyranny have always been even more intense in the East than in the West - even in pre-Islamic times, even during the Islamic Golden Age, and beyond doubt now. It is striking how the Left and its co-tards' nihilistic enthusiasm is predicated simply upon taking the enormous scientific and philosophical ingenuity of the West and its products for granted. Just look at Marx's philosophy! But it's even more striking when you observe that attitude in, say, Ho Chi Minh's writings, or read about how it manifests itself in Indonesian village Islamists in VS Naipaul's Among the Believers.

“The Muslim world right now is suffering beyond belief,” she said. “Unless the president of the United States is held responsible for what he’s doing and what he has done, there’s no one in the Muslim world who will forgive him.” ...

Note to "peace activists" everywhere: Being angry is not suffering.

I no longer believe that he can't, because I've seen him do it on rare occasions. I now believe he just doesn't want to. I'd still support him over any dems that are running, but he has lost a lot of my respect, fwiw.

aqvik , what else do you want him to do? He's clearly made the case and many Americans just don't want to hear it. All they care about is buying a 600 dollar phone. There is only so much he can do without support from others. Tony Blair was a great communicator and he got thrown out of government.

Well, yes, if you're talking the early part of the 20th Century.

But since the establishmen of the Irish free state in the South, with only the Northern counties with Scots-Irish/Protestant majorities loyal to the Crown left under British control, the IRA has evolved into a Marxist group, that has killed civilians, and had ties to the Soviets, the PLO and Libyan intelligence. Not saying there hasn't been discrimination against Irish-Catholics in majority Scots-Irish/Protestant Northern Ireland, but nothing that justifies bombing pubs and veterans' parades.

So, if you're talking the IRA of the last five decades or so, thug isn't a bad description.

Instead, they'd run some celebratory story about how another scientist got the Nobel for hypothesizing that some dogs & cats could be gay or bisexual.

This raving relativist from Ireland is just like Norman Mailer or the late Kurt Vonnegut & all the other leftists who congratulate one another for their great "bravery" in standing up to phantom evils like America or Christianity, but who avert their gaze & go mute when real evil, perpetarted by Muslims worldwide, is plainly apparent for all to behold.

re: #11 WombatOZ

How come peace hippies are so violent?

At a guess, I'd say it's because they spent their lives not thinking of violence, except in terms of "it's icky!". This only works if you never find yourself in a situation where violence is necessary. If you have never thought about when something might not be worth fighting for after all, you may find yourself overreacting once the anger kicks in. Human instincts are by definition, not civilized.

About this Nobel Peace Prize winner, I do not know. Given the track record of the folks who have been awarding these things, I would not be surprised to learn that she is not all that touchy-feely-with-rainbows peaceful after all.

OT

I know I left for lunch already, but there's a really cool picture on the front of today's Investor's Business Daily. It shows an armed man that appears to be a terrorist (oops, insurgent) hold a gun behind two blindfolded arab looking men. The caption reads "An Iraq Militant from the 1920 Revolution Brigade guards two suspected Al-Qaida-in-Iraq members who were captured Wednesday in Baqouba. Breakaway members of the brigade, a Sunni militia, have aligned themselves with U.S. troops battling the feared terrorist group, formerly led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi."

I just thought it was too cool to see the local militia signing up to help the U.S. troops.

I think I understand your frustration, but you paint with too broad a brush. I know lots of Americans who could care less about iPhones or Hilton, but feel betrayed by a President who slashes his base of support and betrays the conservative principles he supposedly stood for.

And he keeps people around him who do nothing of value: Gonzalez, Chertoff, just to name two. I believe underneath his arrogance he is a decent man, but it is his arrogance and scoffing attitude that leads him to appear as not being accountable to anyone. Communication is key to effective leadership, and well, you know the rest.

Another Nobel-type from Ireland, Bono, goes around the world preaching that America is the root of all evil; that consumerism & oil gluttony, materialism, American selfishness, global warming, poverty in Africa, Islamophobia & other threats to world peace all originate in America. And he always has his hand out like some common tramp, collecting money for his crusade against America.

Bono says American trade policies are grotesquely unfair, not seeming to realize that American is now running a nearly $1 trillion annual trade deficit with the world.

Oh, and Ireland exports 5X as much to America as it imports from America (source: Any World Alamanac).

Troops launched a 36 hour attack on the mosque early on Tuesday to flush extremists out of the mosque complex.

For months clerics and students had been defying the authorities in their campaign for Sharia law in the capital.

Students had kidnapped police as well as Islamabad residents they considered to be engaged in un-Islamic activity.

Just for reference, below is Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 41, Section 871 of the U.S. Code. Note especially the second half of this statute ("...otherwise makes any such threat..."). There was a rather famous case in the 60s involving a threat to LBJ where the Supreme Court ruled that some forms of heated discussion were allowed, but this only came after a world of hurt and investigation for those involved. I think that if the Secret Service hasn't talked to her here, the DHS might be talking to her if she ever comes back. If they ever get their act straight:
(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

Supposed to be religiously binding, but the other half of that is that it is only the opinion of some "religious scholar."

Nothing like a pronouncement from the Pope, if that is what you are thinking.

A fatwa is a considered opinion in Islam made by a mufti, a scholar capable of issuing judgments on Sharia (Islamic law). Usually a fatwa is issued at the request of an individual or a judge to settle a question where fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) is unclear.

re: #185 bosforus

A fatwa is a formal religious opinion issued by an Islamic scholar. The weight any given fatwas carries is based on the "respect" that particualr scholar has in the community. There are no formal clerical heirarchies, like the Catholic Church, in Islam. This is why there can be so many different fatwas expressing opposing views. A Shia scholar would argue a point differently from a Sunni, and so on.

More on melamine: China gets dead serious about food safety, executes former food and drug chief (Source MeatingPlace.com)
By Tom Johnston on 7/10/2007 for Meatingplace.com

In perhaps a demonstration of how serious China is about shoring up the safety of its food products, Beijing executed the former head of its State Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday, the official Xinhua press agency reported.

Zheng Xiaoyu was sentenced to death May 29 for accepting bribes to approve untested medicine reportedly blamed for at least 10 deaths. A court carried out the execution Tuesday after China's Supreme Court rejected his final appeal, the International Herald Tribune reported.

Xinhua did not disclose how Zheng was killed, though IHT reported that the court police typically execute prisoners by shooting them in the back of the head, or in some cases by using lethal injections.

Zheng's execution was concurrent with a press conference at which China's top food and drug regulatory agencies vowed to crack down on counterfeit food and medicine. Beijing has been pressured to make vast improvements after a spate of health scares tied to sub-par products, including exports of tainted food and fake drugs.

"Corruption in the food and drug authority has brought shame to the nation," Yan Jiangying, deputy policy director of the State Food and Drug Administration, told reporters. "What we will have to learn from the experience is to improve our work and emphasize public safety."

Well, now that we know what the common element among this diverse group of people is, can we declare a War on Doctors?

Diplomatic Engagement: Iran and Syria have continued to foster instability in Iraq. As noted, Iran funds extremist groups to promote attacks against Coalition and Iraqi forces, and the Iraqi Government. We see little change in Iran’s policy of seeking U.S. defeat through direct financial and material support for attacks against U.S. military and civilians in Iraq. Iran is engaging in similar activities in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, foreign fighters (especially suicide bombers) continue to use Syrian territory as their main transit route to Iraq. The Syrian Government also allows major insurgent organizers and financiers to operate in Damascus. We continue to assess that nearly 80 percent of suicide bombers are foreign fighters -- with the vast majority traveling to Iraq through Syria -- and to Syria from their home countries by air travel to Damascus. This Syria-based network is able to supply some 50 to 80 suicide bombers to AQI per month. Since January, there have been nearly 280 suicide events in Iraq, accounting for nearly 5,500 casualties, mostly innocent Iraqis going about their daily lives. Syria can and must do more to shut down these networks

"Corruption in the food and drug authority has brought shame to the nation," Yan Jiangying, deputy policy director of the State Food and Drug Administration, told reporters. "What we will have to learn from the experience is to improve our work and emphasize public safety."

It's quite ironic that the Chinese government would execute a top FDA exec to save face, but have no problem killing hundreds of peaceful protestors at will.

Mazel Tov Ben! that would make the lad, 'son of the father' aka Barabbas.

Damn, ment to use Spell Check to fix some words on my #233...

re: #214 paxnhymn

with all due respect, but i think you misunderstand how wikipedia works.

no, I understand perfectly well...I also understand that ANYONE can edit Wikipedia, and while I'm not doubting it has some useful information, just ask someone like Charles the Sh*t that has been posted about them on that site, and the nutjob that started it takes pride in some of these smear tactics with great glee...no, my understanding is fine thank you...

Normally, one has to kill many thousands of people to win a Nobel Peace Prize (Yasser Arafat).

Now the Nobel committee's standards have been dumbed-down. Now, you need only express & communicate your violent fantasies towards the USA & Israel (Jimmy Carter, Betty whatever-her-name-is).

Next year's Nobel Peace Prize Nominees: Bashir Assad, Muqtada al Sadr, Muhammad Atta (posthumously), and Kim Jong Il.

Wow, what a joke the whole Nobel process is today.

Syria can and must do more to shut down these networks

That last sentence is so incompatible with the rest of the paragraph, you would have to be clinically insane to write it.

Earth to White House: Syria WONT DO ANYTHING to shut down these networks, because they are running them. Du-uh!

Unless the president of the United States is held responsible for what he’s doing and what he has done, there’s no one in the Muslim world who will forgive him.

Here's a little Qur'anic guidance regarding forgiveness:

009.080 (YUSUFALI)
Whether thou[, Mohammad,] ask for their forgiveness, or not, (their sin is unforgivable): if thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them: because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger: and Allah guideth not those who are perversely rebellious.

Contrast with Jesus' words recorded in Matthew 18:

21Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

22Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

Interesting, though not surprising, perversion of Christian text. Of course, I've yet to see a Progressive who shows any evidence of having read the Qur'an.

Well the peace side of things anyway, and of course Literature.

Mazel Tof, Ben!

He looks just like you.

re: #241 paxnhymn
Have a day job in a library, and even the leftie librarians don't consider Wiki reliable.

#224 Ben Hur - Mazel Tov!

For some light reading:

Eloi for Breakfast

Thank you!

re: #250 chee toe

I have two daughters in College, and when they do term papers, Wiki is no longer allowed as reference material...that's pretty bad when universities don't allow it considering it's run by a leftist!

More on fatawa.

"Train a child in the wasy he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

Go thou and do likewise.

Ignobel Peace Prize.

Nobel (Lefties in) Piece(s) Prize.

I'm sure there's more.

There are many reasons why the muslim world is suffering - but it is all self-inflicted and not the fault of George W. Bush. This woman and those who agree with her are like the morons who rushed to the rooftops to welcome the aliens to earth in the movie "Independence Day", and we all know how well that went.

re: #255 paxnhymn

I teach at a small college and have told my students that wiki is not a source or a resource. If they want to start with an encyclopedia, I suggest several that use peer review. Even then I warn of bias.

No, Thats not it. I guess I cannot explain what I'm looking for correctly. LOL

Or they're like the dimwits who tried desperately to appease the invading aliens in the movie "Mars Attacks." That movie, I tell you, is incredibly ominous.

Ben, you got the 'easy' sex. All you have to do is worry about his penis. With girls you have to worry about all peni.

A reader left this comment for me. Interesting:

This isn't the first time Betty Williams threatened to "KILL GEORGE BUSH".

On July 24, 2006, while delivering a speech at the Earth Dialogue forums, Williams told school children at the Brisbane City Hall, "I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence,' because I don't believe that I am non-violent." She went on to say, "Right now, I would love to kill George Bush"

This is a perfect illustration that the fundamental motivation of the left is not "progress," but indulgence. We should call them "Indulgencists." The left subscribes to a very cheap notion: that emotional gratifiction is a legitimate public policy objective; that there is no higher form of accomplishment than to "feel" like you have accomplished something.

Look at the recent infantile emotional outbursts from the left: RFK Jr.'s idiotic blather about global warming and treason, Rosie O'Donnell's unhinged rants, Michael Moore's tantrum on CNN, ...this kook. And then you have that Democratic strategist recommending that candidates need to appeal more to emotion.

The tragedy of the left is that they seem oblivious to the hatred, petty jealousies and frank maleficence that they are willing to accommodate in their quest to feel good about themselves.
