2. Why should there be
the RW yapping heads have spent the last 15 or 20 years puking out so much over the top and hateful rhetoric that nobody is disgusted, surprised or even really offended by it anymore.

If you work at the George W. Bush Memorial Sewage Plant long enough even the stink of the shit begins to fade away.

12. Oh, I'm sorry.
She's very lovely. She looked like she might have been from the 1960s era and reminded me of the Kent State girl. I guess I need new glasses.

6. may be more of a reflection of benstein and the msm in general...
why expect the promoters of the meme to have any critical evaluation of themselves??

they do not believe that any watchers/readers have intelligent, let alone informed, thoughts of their own...

which is why they have trouble seeing the reality beyond the beltway and the boardrooms...

like any whores of any type...it ain't for love, it ain't the sex, it's just the money...

8. Probably no one is more disappointed than Ben Stein
He was obviously shooting for some major fireworks and some attention.
Ignoring him would be the worst punishment he could get. I suggest the
same treatment for McCain. Let him spend the rest of the fall season in
sausage houses and in staged events with small slices of the military.
That's about his speed.

10. It's only wrong when we do it
Edited on Fri Jul-25-08 12:34 PM by kenny blankenship
When liberals compare things done by Bush and the One Party State Republicans of the Gingrich-Delay-Hastert era then that is prima facie evidence that we hate America - or so my television tells me. It's because we hate Nazi Germany and other fascist episodes of the 20th century so much that we can't get over it, apparently, and we don't see that some of the things that our country does which were also done by the Nazis are actually good things to do, as proved by the fact that Bush and the Republicans did them: aggressive wars, torture, subverting the fundamental law of the republic to eliminate partisan competition and create a one party state secured by a constant state of terror & war and allegations of a shadowy all-powerful enemy within that can only be thwarted by an open-ended grant of policestate powers, encompassing the destruction of traditional civil liberties. All good things to do in their season, my television says, and the fact that the Nazis did them too is happenstance.
