”kill people and leave” 19 March 2007

Oh don’t worry, he’s against it. Kill and stay on the acquired land, drain the resources, subjugate the people. Caesar, Tsar, King. We had best face it. Later on in the article, McCain makes sure he gets out his “pro-life” bona fides. Truly, the nation has gone insane. Christian + fucked + insane. Or the reverse order… it hardly matters. Insane + fucked + Christian.
A question about abortion provided an opportunity for McCain to seperate himself from other Republicans seeking the nomination.
”I am a pro-life person. That’s been a solid 24-year record,” he said. ”I have not changed my position.””I have been an advocate for human rights — having been deprived of them for a period in my life — from Burma to Bosnia to China to Cuba, and I believe human rights also extend to that of the unborn,” said McCain, who endured years of torture and deprivation as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
Danny Schechter has a look back at what he wrote 4 years ago:
Later that March I wrote under the subhead Onward Christian Soldiers::
“I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God’s peace be your guide,” says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with coalition forces. The pamphlet, produced by a group called In Touch Ministries, offers a daily prayer to be made for the US president, a born-again Christian who likes to invoke his God in speeches. ”
I’ll bet Christian Broadcasting is reporting heavily on this angle of the story. Actually, The New York Times did mention yesterday that the war itself was hatched with evangelic passion. “The foregone decision to go to war was made in a formal way, by a president conscious of the history of the moment, in the Situation Room on the morning of March 19. With his closest advisers surrounding him, Mr. Bush spoke to General Franks and the other commanders in the field by videoconference and asked each if they had everything they needed to win. Then the president gave the order, an administration official said, concluding with “may God bless the troops.”
“May God bless America,” General Franks replied, as Mr. Powell, the chairman of the joint chiefs during the first gulf war, reached out and lightly touched the president’s hand, said a senior administration official who recounted the scene, “because he’s been on the battlefield before.”
Let us be assured they annointed one another, passing the bloody shirt.
A snip from his round up of ME press:
Blogger Anwaar Hussein writes from Dubai
This 18th of March, 2007 it will be the 4th anniversary of Iraq’s brutal occupation by American forces and also the 4th birthday of ‘free Iraq’. The only things that have changed are the advanced dates, the even more advanced brutality of the nature of occupation and the addition of some gutless democrats to the cheerleaders on the Capitol Hill.
The bloodletting goes on as America continues to cling to Iraq’s throat like the bulldog named ‘Cherokee’ in Jack London’s ‘White fang’. And like him again, America inches its teeth ever closer to that unfortunate nation’s jugular with each spasmodic jerk of the dying Iraq.
Reports on the ground continue to be accurate… no one with political power in America is listening….

UPDATE, 6:50 am
I felt the need to make these points clear. I appreciate the vast majority of comments and diaries at MyDD, but people need to know what I do not tolerate on this blog.
OK! OK! We get it! You, you! you! you! are the toleraterer.
Carry on.
******************************************
UPDATE, 9:10 am
I would guess that elements of the Democratic party are getting out the hot glue gun, the cement glue, the tape, wire, band-aids, staples, whatever it takes to bandage her up and shove her out… but here is another Hill-arious YouTube. Courtesy of Politico.com. From a weekend fundraiser…
Mcat does not discriminate. We are master, nay! mistressfully!, fully disdainful. Here is David Ehrenstein in the LA Times… with his uniquely positioned take on Obama:
[A]nd what does the white man get out of the bargain? That’s a question asked by John Guare in “Six Degrees of Separation,” his brilliant retelling of the true saga of David Hampton — a young, personable gay con man who in the 1980s passed himself off as the son of none other than the real Sidney Poitier. Though he started small, using the ruse to get into Studio 54, Hampton discovered that countless gullible, well-heeled New Yorkers, vulnerable to the Magic Negro myth, were only too eager to believe in his baroque fantasy. (One of the few who wasn’t fooled was Andy Warhol, who was astonished his underlings believed Hampton’s whoppers. Clearly Warhol had no need for the accouterment of interracial “goodwill.”)
But the same can’t be said of most white Americans, whose desire for a noble, healing Negro hasn’t faded. That’s where Obama comes in: as Poitier’s “real” fake son. [snip]
Much work cut out for the Dems. How will this resolve. Damned if I know. I just know I hang my head, trying to ward off the waves of disgust. The “first” woman. Adjunct to Bill. Thanks ever so. The ”first” Black (they say, thanks Jesse!). Flat and floured. A sign, that cannot be refuted, that Civil Rights is just paper and glue.
Edwards. Sure the south can be as boring and white boy suburban as the rest of the country. Why the hell not. He so hails from the bloated “manager class” ‘burbs of Anywhere USA With a Twang.
What a shame.
Oh yes, Bush says Iraq is winnable. Breaking news, 5th year of the War(s).
***************************************************
UPDATE, 10 am on the Pacific Ocean…
I could not make this stuff up if I tried…
It is easy to criticize, Lord knows I did it for years and years, Bush, the GOP, the Wise Men, et al., but the Dems deserve some criticsim too on this.
hmmm Not sure that what he did for years, at least that I observed, was criticise. Think it was bitch and moan and scream and abuse. And that treatment was for other citizens, voters, Democrats and Democratically leaning voters… Other than that, he observes Atrios has an actual post up. Well that IS noteworthy, I agree. Land of the lightly tossed word or two.
I would nit pick over the title, The Netroots and Exiting Iraq, the new version of Sit Down and Shut up. I don’t think “netroots” will have anything to do, at all, with exiting Iraq, nor with putting pressure on the Dems. Any Dems.
The bloat, high, low and in-between, goes on.
************************************************
UPDATE, 12:40 pm
Oooo really good: thanks to Nur al-Cubicle , I landed on a meaty analysis from Mike Davis in the New Left Review… a close look at the pivotal 2006 election and a hard look at Bush’s “Surge” and even harder Democratic realities… It ain’t pretty.
Here are three snips from different sections of the article…
If the recent past is any guide, a seriously populist and ideologically combative Democratic politics is totally incompatible with the Clintonite project of making the Democrats the representatives par excellence of the knowledge economy and corporate globalization.
More specifically, the new Democratic majority must test its ambiguous promises of crusading populism and inclusive centrism against the recalcitrant realities of the four mega-issues that will inevitably dominate the new Congress: (1) the Iraq fiasco and the War on Terrorism; (2) the legacy of Republican congressional corruption and corporate fraud; (3) urgent, unmet social needs (including the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast) in the context of the huge Bush deficits; and (4) the growing unrest over the social costs of economic globalization.
In each case, the hopeful expectations of last November’s voters for real changes in Washington are likely to be betrayed by the higher imperatives of electing Hillary and assuaging big business.
A BIG Bingo! on this one:
This new equation between urban needs, immigrant civil rights and anti-imperialism could become a potent counter-agenda in American politics if it were reinforced by grass-roots activism and consistent protest. But here is the rub. Although the Out of Iraq Caucus has grown to 74 members (more than one-fifth of Democratic House membership) in the wake of the November vote, its clout is considerably diminished by the absence of a national anti-war movement, as well as by the failure of the major progressive trade unions such as seiu, here-unite and the aft to make withdrawal a political priority.
And a last one:
This is the real opportunity [subpoena power] to which the Democrats could rise in theory,
but there is little chance that their leadership will actually allow congressional probes to follow money and corruption all the way upstream.
Progressive hopes that Congress might return to the heroic days of Thurman Arnold’s anti-trust investigations of the late 1930s, or the Watergate Committee’s exposés of Republican law-breaking in the 1970s, are pipe dreams in face of Pelosi’s insistence that Democratic watchdogs be tightly leashed, in the interests of building ‘centrism’.
She has already extracted humiliating loyalty oaths from the two senior Black Democrats most likely to rock the bipartisan boat:
forcing John Conyers (chair of the Judiciary Committee) to recant his advocacy of impeachment (‘the country does not want or need any more paralysed partisan government’, he said recently) and making Charles Rangel, who has hammered Dick Cheney like no one else in Congress, sing a chorus or two of the company song (‘I have to take a leadership view’, he promised). [30]
Even more diabolically, she has put Henry Waxman (‘White House Enemy No. 1’) in charge of ensuring (in the words of analyst Brian Friel) that congressional oversight does not ‘open Democrats up to charges of obstructionism and extremism in the next campaign cycle’. [31]
A quick closing note, do not be put off by what appears (at first) to be an embrace of the veneer of populism over racism/nativism that Webb, Shuler and others are exhibiting… Davis gets to the cold stony heart:
A careful reading of Webb’s ‘class struggle’ article, for example, reveals precisely his belief that Mexican gardeners and investment bankers are coequal exploiters of the native working class, with a ‘vast underground labour pool from illegal immigration’ waiting to drown American values and wages. A strange passage about the ‘unspoken insinuation’ that ‘certain immigrant groups have the “right genetics” and thus are natural entrants to the “overclass”’ can be decoded as a reference to the Yellow Peril fantasies that infuse Webb’s public utterances. As Secretary of the Navy he was one of the principal advocates of a continuing Cold War with China, which he later saw developing a ‘strategic axis with the Muslim world’, and he broke with Bush policies in Iraq precisely because he feared that Rumsfeld was criminally ‘empowering’ the real enemies—Iran and China. [50]
Other than that…
Draw the curtain, pretend not to see the blood seeping across the floor boards, building to a crashing wave…

OH Happy JOY JOY!
Its the Iraq War 4th anniversary.
Whoohoo!
I’m gonna polish my plastic jezus and clean my rifle to celebrate.
But not to women. Women aren’t allowed to have control over their own bodies.
Look how often must you uppity beyatches be told?!
It’s barefoot always, and stay in the kitchen and bedroom or else…
GMA’s Sawyer got Rice on and CR looks very, very unhappy. Disney looks like they’re starting to really push aqainst Iraq; they really questioned (with stats) the “better off without saddam”
Beware blondes who appear to be “ditzy,” often they have minds that would give Machiavelli or Sun Tzu pause…
Wow. Monday MSM morning druel actually has substance today, oooh wait on to the missing boyscout…well it still looks promising.
Arrggh! I really need to find really different adverb than really.
Really.
I mean, verily or forsooth.
P.S. sorry if the sarcasm above is too offensive…I’ll tone it down if any of youse is bothered by my obnoxious humor.
LOL Keep it up.
Speaking of Radical Blondes:

I love it until it turns into a Obamama commercial (last 5 seconds or so). Whatever. I think Billary is in for a world of hurt though..
Is that “Hillary 1984″???
what a hoot that is… I guess we are all supposed to cringe cringe cringe.
Maybe my “sisterhood” affect is just broken for Hillary. Some sort of non reciprocation clause she evokes… LOL
I feel she makes common cause with her fundraisers. Period. Of course, same iwth the rest of them. She is not exceptional.
I caught a NYO reporter this am (C_Span) saying they are all quite taken with the added push for heavy money this cycle. How fast the ranks are closing, how big the initial money must be.. and so on…
Now when a Manhattan gossip and politics reporter (Lizzy Ratner) is taken aback… welllll…
Hillary sucks.
And its sucks worse that the first “serious” woman contender for POTUS is a tired dish-sponge of coporate plate cleaner. Nature of the beast I suppose.
Went to the toleraterer link. TFFW. Why does Bowers 8 point list remind me of TC in Mission Impossible trailer? Maybe CB is a scientologist too. I wonder if he’s a Thetan-7?
I found this cute little comment there:
LOl we are all progressive priests. Nose to the cause grindstone.
What fakes and fakers the Boyz are…
Stand Back! We are awash in CONFESSIONS!!
He is not bin Laden, but he is a “bin”, we must be safer!
I feel SO MUCH BETTER.
El PResidente is about to address the nation. So says Charlie Gibson…
Wave a banana palm frond at the tin pot dictator, he has the codes, don’t forget. Play nice. Be civil..
Goofy Gibson is giving a major pushback immediately with their Iraqi poll results that he promises to push the numbers all week. 5 years late and a conspiracy or 15 short.
One thing seem sure: Disney is off the War Wagon (well, at least the bush war wagon).
I know everyone is breathless.
He said …
“It won’t be easy”.
Well, now, see here, think for a minute, don’t be too harsh… it is true, there is not a lot left to say… except what has been said ad nauseum before…
And to be fair, he said it is winnable.
we are just bonkers. Think of all the levels we are lying on… lies here, lies there. The dog and the Englishman lie out in the Noon day sun. We don’t even know it is high noon.
have a drink. Even Martha Raddatz just said, he has given this speech so many times before.
Could everyone take the masks off?
I guess not. Back to GMA. Still Disney.
Yeah I should be careful with that off the wagon stuff.
I can’t help but notice how the minor difference in reporting is joined at the hip with a blase, “here have some more Teacher Sex scandal cake”
We can’t gulliotoine ourselves out of this.
We do we go from here?
Meanwhile in Bagdad and peaceful Kirkuk the bombs are a exploding:
NYT Link
I don’t believe I can repeat this enough, watch Kirkuk in the run up to the Dec referendum on their “final status”. I ain’t no expert but man, o man it looks like big trouble in the near future..
I caught a really dull NPR guy on Cspan over the weekend… not a swift guy shall we say.. and he said the violence is just moving north.
While the crack down is on in Baghdad they will jsut relocate. Then in 7, 8, 10 months move back down.
I still say they are aiming to take down an airliner. SOmething with less security, like a medic flight out to Landstuhl… soemthing like that.
WHen they can advance from bringing down copters.. things will change big time.
Here’s a fun one. It’s complete with petulant nattering about Marx from those who have obviously never cracked a book with his name on it. The site continues to sadly amuse.
Who is Clem Yeobright? He is a nasty sob bouncer, so he must be wildly popular, but I don’t remember him.
He must be a reincarnation or sock puppet but of whom?
NOSE diiiiive! That nose they claim is hunkered down to the grindstone of the Noble Cause.
Some cause somewhere… Hope the Boesendorfer is paid for.
I just love seeing a headline “Justices hear “Bong hits for Jesus” Of course the formal case likely has a dull name.
czech out the bizarre photo here (no, it’s not a blow-up doll)

I’m still laughing after reading Chris Bowers’ post. Irony totally escapes them and the sheep (or are they operators) in the comments. ‘We are not Daily Kos’ lol, then he goes on to post an exact replica of an all too familiar Kos screed. Too funny.
The same tired old talking points designed to shut up real progressives. As if they could. Derision of those who are out actually doing something about ending this travesty of a war. And, gasp. it is a crime to want to ‘know the truth about 9/11′!! Why know the truth about anything, just follow like little rabid lambs to the slaughter.
The real question about the ads, Beck etc. is why would a vicious, homophobic, vile rightwinger like Beck spend money to advertise on a site like dk or mydd? Is he into throwing money away, or ….. could it be that he knows his audience? Who DO they think they’re kidding! And why are they always having to defend and explain themselves?
Ohh but he is a private owner of a site who makes independent decisions about the rules of that site. Sure, and there really is a Santa Claus. And even bad Democrats, war and torture-supporting Demcorats, get endorsed. Dead troops and innocent victims of our illegal wars be damned. What was that fantasy he had about being part of a revolution? It really is too funny for words. And they wonder why an increasing numer of Americans see no difference between the them and Republicans.
Lol, no, you are NOT daily kos, Mr Bowers! Guess he got a call from his masters with the usual memo, slightly altered for distribution to the ‘not dk’ sites. Not altered enough, because it sure does sound familiar.
Well, there was one independent thinker in the thread -
Oow, I remember Clem Yeobright, a very nasty and not too bright (easily destroyed in any argument) wannabe. Perfect representative of DK. He just got wiped out in that attempt at an argument, but is too stupid to realize it.
I love the argument about the troll-rated comment being totally acceptable and even defended by the troll-raters, if it were to appear as a paid-for ad. So true, which is why they are so contemptible. No better, perhaps worse than, the worst of the rabid rightwing because they pretend to be something they are not.
And their numbers are still falling – can’t wait to see them try to sell a war-supporting presidential candidate after the primaries.
Oh I had a good laugh over this one. If it is about anything but Lieberman it is history. And confused history.
Don’t miss it.
Short version, this is not solid ground for Stoller… LOL
And chicklet (yes that was age-ist), ya just helped vote in a whole new crowd of Bloo Dogs and New Dems.
Rahm is laughing at YOU!
Sometimes I don’t know if they are being truly disingenuous or just stupid…
I think the age has a lot to do with it… Reagan youths
well… anyone who recently assgns the designation of “company town” to DC is loopless. Looplesser. Looplost. But link rich, of course…
it is all about The Blahger Boyz. Or, from time to time, about their wants / needs and itty bitty battles (yes that would be The Edwards Bloggers, felled in their own chosen industry and clueless, loopless but! not iwthout links.) You have to laugh.
Watch them fell FOX on the Great Battlefield of Unequal Media, as Clinton and McAuliffe let their tongues fall out, their salivary glands overworking (smelling salts!) for O’Reilly as he promises ot “move some books” for them.
LOL so who cares about history. Of a little ol’ Southern town called Washington.
LOL… Cute cute cute. And if they play at debate, does that make it so???
“full power of congress”… all they have done for decades is concede power.
From Blogometer, their version has all the myriad links. BTD also led off the top of today’s Blogometer posting.
And he is so new to Blogsnottery! Who knew?
You are too kind.
He reminds me of someone, but I can’t place him. His UID makes him late to the game, but I don’t think so. Oh well.
here is the link to yesterday’s Late Edition – not just Trump, it is loaded iwth people…

Please. So long as people post diaries demanding that the war be ended NOW!!!! while ignoring the very impossibility of such a demand and the political reality of the moment, I will demean them.

I support Barack Obama for President.
by Lucius Vorenus on Mon”
have any you well-read folks come across anything about the Palo Alto VA hospital? I heard a protestor in front of Pelosi’s SF office (there’s a demo going on today) who sd she turned against after war after seeing what was happening in PA (called the “Walter Reed of the west coast”)
MC-
Now if a schmuck like Trump can come across as an uber-leader by using the L word, imagine what a real leader would sound like if she said it? It’s pathetic that the best spokesman for the truth is a megalomaniacal, misogynistic, jerk. What’s worse is that based on his performance yesterday, I’d vote for him over any of the current frontrunners on either side of the isle.
btd
Well, anyone who read Kos’s fp post, quite a while ago now, where he made a blase ‘oh well’ type statement re the war not ending before the 2008 election. Seemed to me then, that he was merely parroting the Party’s policy on Iraq. They had no intention of ending, I assumed he had some inside info on that being that his blog is merely an arm of the DP. And I thought it was pretty blatant at the time. If I had the fortitude to wade through his posts, I’d try to find it. It may have been as early as Jan.
Then came the excuses ‘they haven’t even been in office for a month so stfu about the war’ and ‘I care more about healthcare etc and they are busy doing that. I’m perfectly happy with the Dems.’ (this from the ever-dimwitted elise and a few other equally dim kossacks). Lol, but when btd began his campaign against the Dems, the dim witted easily changed course and suddenly the war was the issue! Until he was ‘out’, now I presume they are back ‘we’re happy with the Dems’. Well, they do have to try to please I suppose.
It must be hard twisting in the wind, trying to ascertain which way it is blowing especially when scratching and clawing your way to ‘the top’ …. of a blog? Rotfl! And especially when it isn’t clear who you need to suck up to for a while. It helps I suppose not to think too much or worry about letting principles get in the way.! Just follow. Whoever is the perceived leader on any particular day.
Oow, I try to be kind to the intellectually challenged – their delicate sensibilities and thin skin make them all too easy targets. It would be cruel.
I expect all of them to be swept away by the ever increasing tide of public opinion anyway. They simply do not get the importance of the issues, the two cited most often by voters in November, The War and Corruption. George Bush got Democrats elected. I expect if they continue to support his war, he (and this time with their assitance) will be responsible when they lose in 2008 also.
The ‘netroots’ have made themselves irrelevant, they occupy a tiny corner of the blogosphere, nothing more. A sort of third rate soap opera providing little other than mild entertainment at this point.
They did nothing to elect Democrats, it was Bush, his war and his corrupt administration. So, what will they use in 2008 to get support for their next crop of (cough)’progressive candidates’?
Are they really so delusional that they think there would have been any support at all for some of these Dems had it not been for Bush? If so, I think they are in for a shock if this war rages on and Dems continue to pretend they can do nothing about it. If keeping the war going is actually their election strategy, I’d love to know whose cynical idea that was! But yes, I remember kos’ post all but endorsing it.

Indeed.
thanks for that arcturus… I used to catch her articles as Schechter would link to them…
Poor Terrance. He so wanted to belong over the No Diversity Luncheon with Papa Bill at the Clinton Harlem Plantation.
And apparently still hoping. He started out well and crumpled to the NetRoots. OR the Boyz. Or soemthing.
ROTFLOL!!!
. . . Atrios has an actual post up. Well that IS noteworthy, I agree. Land of the lightly tossed word or two.

Keep doing that long enough, and you have a BBB website.
And they say Philly is a boring town!
Miss D. #30 – lol, the thin-skinned ‘watb’ LV strikes again! We simply must not deny the charge of purity. We must embrace and be proud of it.
Another sign of their complete cultishness is the repeated use of the language of the cult. Saw it in the MYDD thread also. Unthinking sheep, and whoever called them ‘rabid lambs’ ( I forget) was so on target.
It is a way to identify them and who they work for actually. But I am proud of being ‘pure’ when it comes to principles and in fact did say something like to one of them a while ago. I believe I thanked the little brownshirt for the compliment after which I heard no more from him/her.
This I learned from my online combat experience with rightwingers. Take their intended insults and adapt them. Ridicule them but never, ever go on the defensive. Never give them the response they expect. ‘Well of course I’m pure when it comes to principles, thank you, but are you implying that progressives, like the rightwing we are purportedly fighting, should NOT be principled? Wtf, is this not a progressive board?’
Fun to watch them scramble when their teeny, tiny bombs are thrown back in their faces. When there is no defensive response. Their little book of rules instructs them on the expected response to the stupid, silly ‘purity’ nonsense which is – ‘I’m not a purity troll, but’ – but what is wrong with being a ‘purity troll’? That is what I was on every rightwing board I ever posted on and am damn proud of it.
So Congressional power is a myth, huh? Apparently not for the so-called ‘minority’ Republican Party. What a fool he is.
Disgusting little man – demeaning Demoratic voters – sadistic, stupid and indicative of a very disturbed personality. But then what other type of personality would sign up to be a thug who foolishly believes they can browbeat voters into voting against their better judgement. Pathological is what they are. It is a brownshirt mentality, no question about it.
geez, chris bowers sounds just like kos: dismisive, authoritative and full of shit.can you imagine the smug factor when they get together to count their cash?
i love it when they attack sites that put up coulter, kos calls lieberman bought and paid for…but when it comes to their ad revenue, BACK OFF.
no wonder they hate purity trolls.
On Charlie Rose I just saw a picture of a hymenectomy. Apparently quite popular in parts of the world. Physically restored virginity. Don’t let Promise Keepers and Purity Ball dads hear about it…
He ws interviewing a young woman photographer who had managed to get a patient in the ME hospital where the surgeon doing these practices… (I missed which country) to agree to be photographed on the operating table if her anonymity was preserved.
For some reason I thought of the purity games. And the mating call for an “energetic girl”.
And of course, on the horrific side, all the rapes in Iraq… from our servicemen on women in the military and on Iraqis.
All Pain, No Gain. Works for all the fundementalist Xtian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu,etc.
So much trouble over tissue; maybe some research could be done to re-unite me with my tonsils..
Terrance “uncle rufus” DC what a fucking fool. I tell you it is the only way for any AA to make their stripes in Orange sloptopia… it is acceptable to be gay…but not Black
Same shit a that idiot Pam both married to whites and hate Black people.
hymenectomy would be surgical breaking of the hymen; hymenoplasty would be the restoration procedure.
(ask Dr. Devore!)
well I thought that after I wrote it.. but that was the word used.
A confused mess.
a pound o’ flesh by any other name.
SF Chronicle Carla Marinucci has a piece up on the Hillary “1984″ ad…
What’s “impossible” about ending the war NOW? What utter bullshit. The war is not working, it’s a huge waste of treasure and blood, it was a mistake from the beginning and is a worse mistake with every day that it continues. What is “impossible” is allowing it to go on.
Do you think this kind of rank incompetence, this kind of brazen disregard for the consequences of one’s actions, would survive for long in the business world? What we have here is a CEO who’s been running his company into the ground for four years and keeps telling the stockholders “Better times are just around the corner!” Well, this charade has gone on too fucking long. This is why Trump is against the war – he’s an asshole, but he’s a good businessman, and he understands that when you’re not profiting from a business venture you have to dump it.
My god I have this nausea after reviewing MSOC’s diary on dk replete with Jason Melrath aka Lucious Vorenus predictable bullshit. The Bowers link on mydd is the same shit.
IraqSlogger
Bush says be patient. Change is comming.
Ohhh Lardy, this shit is trite.
BHHM
LOL thanks for the tip there is amusement over at orange juice….
Kinda late. Rather like DD. It probably helped to read a lot – all along. And not be taken in. Yessssssssssss I remember the lectures all thru 2004.
I am not likely to forget those exhortatory lectures any time soon.
Bayprairie the words of one resigned to defeat. exactly. That is what the netroots are, defeatists. Congress does have the power to end this war. Democrats could end it.
Funny cartoon, btw –
Feingold is adding an amendment which would pick a date and refuse to fund the war after that.
Still won’t work imo, because it is attached to a bill which, if even if it passes, will be vetoed.
!!!!
No Words. Just complete disillusionment with the world.
Glancing over Terrance’s bullshit diary…it reminded me of the “Blacks hate du jour” of 10-15 years ago when the flava was …Blacks against Jews… there was many a hand wringing why Blacks didn’t like Jews … culminating pumped up overblown Jesse Jackson’s “Hymietown” remark that was made within earshot of a journalist.
Then as now… instead of Black gays lined up to denouced the wickedness of Black… every Black gay that could be unearth was pushed into the limelight to denounce the Black hatred of Jews… the one writer I can remember was Julius Lester a converted African American Jew who found ample opportunity to call out the religous bigotry of Blacks.
I am not saying that no Black dislike Gays or Jews… I am just questioning the ridiculous lengths that some “progressives” are intent on brushing the entire Black population with one brush…and particulary NO ONE ELSE. They seem intent on dividing and supressing….
As for the pathetic GOP paid Black clergy who spew this shit is a hell of a lot different than the Loweries, Jacksons and Sharptons that have always held gay rights as an integral part of civil rights. Yet, Pam et al have no problem with the “Faith based bribes” that are fueling the hatred from the pulpits.
Listening to the so called Net Rootz Inc. black gay spokepersons Pam (who hangs with the biggest racist on blaghsnotopia Aravosis) and pathetically needy Terrance you will never hear the real AA side. They are the DLC of GBLT Black activist… not the Audre Lords or John Amachi… just wananbe centrist get alongers…
I have heard “superglue” is very popular… no joke.
So now we know why Jason’s Vagina is soooo Lucious. Primed for the Immaculate Misconception. Maybe he can do the meanie-babies birth via c-tuck and maintain that svelte figure (/not)
If Feingold keeps this up, he might end up positioning himself to be a frontrunner for Prez, Jewish or not.
The American people DON’T LIKE THIS WAR. Dems who can’t pick up on that concept are going to be in big trouble. What’s up with these much-vaunted political operatives – brilliant geniuses that they are, haven’t they figured this out yet?
restored virginity – much like “reality TV”.
OOh!
Bless the Community Warriors for stomping out the latest “CT-er” wrong-thinking ‘Rosie O’Donnell questions the official 911 stories on her blog’ diarist on DK.
And who is this commenter quoting here?

This is the wrong place to post this. (0+ / 0-)

Kos has a rule against people posting conspiracy theories on his website. He has every right to regulate content on this place. If you want to post about this stuff, go to Booman or My Left Wing and post it there. They do not have rules against claims that “the official story of 911 is not true.”

Lol, Marisacat, if only he had listened to you back then. He would not be fighting so hard to protect his beloved appeasing Dems now. He can never say you didn’t try to tell him.
SV, Feingold is right, but Bush will veto any bill that comes to his desk if it cuts off funding. They should do it anyway, but he has never had support from his Dem. colleagues on this before. I doubt he’ll get it now.
Like moths to a flame, the real trolls, appeasers, apologists, operatives and defeatists descended on the msoc diary because it, gasp, criicized Dems. And to think we used to criticize the right for covering for their party, once upon a time.
Anyway, while the defeatists at dk are busy defending the indefensible, George Bush is issueing a warning to Congress about defunding the war. It really is pathetic. Sometimes I think that dk works for Bush. If they don’t he ought to pay them anyway.
Liar. The money is NOT for the troops, and after all the revelations re Walter Reed, Defense contractor corruption, Halliburton etc. why will not one Democrat point this out? So the Dems and ‘netrots’ take their marching orders from Bush.
He ridicules them for a bill that won’t even begin to end the war until the Fall of 2008! I so dream of having representation that would issue an order to that little bully telling him ‘no more money for your cronies’ and mean it. Let there be showdown. The people will support it. He has a 20 something approval rating for this war. What, what are they afraid of? It boggles the mind.
Pride goeth before the fall.
Those genius political operatives think that it’s all about them. They believe they can control opinion, that they are the Masters of the Universe. The power of coincidence has convinced them they possess supernatural influence, they prayed for rain and it rained, now they believe they own the water.

In the mirror…
Military family members were arrested today at the SF offices of Nancy Pelosi. They want the war defunded.
Ellsberg was there, I saw him outside the Fed Bldg (where her offices are).
This won’t be stopping…

Well, it looks like jeff in nyc is nothing but a racist sock puppet… very anti anything Black in his previous comments…the give away “Some of my best friends are Black”… I doubt he is even gay… the facade makes for a convienient “librul street cred” in the blogs to tout his right wing bullshit..
