What? No “bwa-haa-haa-haa” option?
November 9th, 2005 at 3:02 pmIt sure is refreshing to see the Washington Post and the New York times finally grow some balls and tell the American people the truth about these scum bags.
Journalists should have to go through a background check to make sure they don’t have close ties to any high level officials. That goes for democrat or republican. They shouldn’t be preaching from the press. They should just give us the facts and let us decide which way we will take it.
Once you start using your journalistic influence to spew partisan “news” it is no longer news.
Judith Miller should never get another job in journalism after what she did.
November 9th, 2005 at 3:04 pmIn order of frequency? Did it begin with high pitched screams and move down towards earth shaking angry growls?
I kid of course. But that’s an interesting question to ask people. I’ve never seen a question like that before. It would take me quite a long time to come up with a perfect word to describe my reaction. Even now I don’t know. I sure have a BATCH of words, but to pick the best one… that will take some time.
November 9th, 2005 at 3:13 pmHowever misguided, they are trying to right the ship and you won’t believe it.

“About time” and “not surprised” are two words.

“Traitor”….that cracks me up. that one word is what some people used…how ironic that it’s now used to label the Repubs…
November 9th, 2005 at 3:49 pmWhere’s “criminal?”
November 9th, 2005 at 4:14 pm10% responded with: “Wazaaaaap!” – high-pitched Martin Lawrence style
November 9th, 2005 at 4:29 pmthe blindly loyal repukelican base (36% of america) said “f*ck”
November 9th, 2005 at 4:33 pmWhat do you mean, Judith Miller should never be a journalist again?
November 9th, 2005 at 4:37 pmIf she’s not a perfect fit for Fox, there’s not a cow in Texas.
This thread looks like it starts with :WOW! P-U!!
November 9th, 2005 at 4:50 pmAs is This stinks!
Next!
November 9th, 2005 at 4:54 pmLefty,
The only real difference between bush’s current 36% rating, and that of Nixon’s is that more republicans were smarter then. The republican ‘fool’ vote in the poll is the only thing that separates bush’s popularity from Nixon’s. In otherwords, they’re both the same miserable and inept failures to ‘mainstream america’!
November 9th, 2005 at 5:10 pmRyan, If you and your fellow whiners believe that you sissy guys are so mainstream, why can’t you win an election? Also, since you think the Republicans stole the election, why don’t you just steal it back? The truth is, the majority of voters dislike your basic philosophies and the lack of any sensible proposals. Oh, I almost forgot, nobody likes a big spineless mommies boys either. I suppose Hillary is your only hope now, you’ve apparently ran out of men.
November 9th, 2005 at 5:54 pmAmericanPie — watch what happens in 2006. Then enjoy eating your words. Y’all are going down.
November 9th, 2005 at 6:21 pmThis piece demolishes the Republican talking points that the White House neither manipulated intelligence information nor brought pressure to bear on the intelligence community:
“The Iraq Intel Stonewall Crumbles.”
November 9th, 2005 at 6:28 pmAmericanPie, hmmmm….. is that another name for a well coiffed Female pubic BUSH?
November 9th, 2005 at 6:32 pmAmericanPie — watch what happens in 2006. Then enjoy eating your words. Y’all are going down.

American Chickenhawk Pie already is down. Chomping hard on Bushco weenie.
November 9th, 2005 at 6:34 pm#23: I’d say choking on it, but I think we know there isn’t much there to choke on.

“Also, since you think the Republicans stole the election, why don’t you just steal it back?”
Because lying, cheating, dishonesty, misinformation and vote rigging are Republican traits, not Democratic traits.
November 9th, 2005 at 7:00 pm#19 American Pie
Did you happen to check the Gubernatorial election results for New Jersey and Virginia? Just a little sample of things to come.
November 9th, 2005 at 7:41 pm“Just 36% now believe that Bush has lived up to his campaign pledge to restore integrity to the White House.”
WOW. Were 36% of those polled mentally retarded?
American Pie, didn’t you see what happened in California and other parts of the country in yesterdays elections? I’d say you’re dead wrong.
November 9th, 2005 at 7:48 pm“Ryan, If you and your fellow whiners believe that you sissy guys are so mainstream, why can’t you win an election?”UnAmericanPieHole
Republicans and republican initiatives lost all around the country DESPITE diebold and voter problems throughout the country. Not only were republicans ‘unmainstream’, you were downright embarrassing!
As for the ’sissy’ part, anxious masculinity is what drives republican men – clearly your fear of your ‘own sissiness’ is your issue… I suffer from no such conflicts, but clearly you do…
“Also, since you think the Republicans stole the election, why don’t you just steal it back? ”
Thievery is the hallmark of republican values, I don’t want either party ’stealing’ elections, because unlike you I believe in america and american democracy. You and your fascist retards should move to Iran or some other place where you can have a fascist dictatorship – it doesn’t belong here!
“The truth is, the majority of voters dislike your basic philosophies and the lack of any sensible proposals. ”
Not true. The polls this week showed the majority of voters favored both democratic party politicians and democratic party values. So this is just another lie you keep telling yourself…
“Oh, I almost forgot, nobody likes a big spineless mommies boys either. ”
Clearly that explains why you and your party is so unpopular – thanks for clearing that up!
“I suppose Hillary is your only hope now, you’ve apparently ran out of men.”
Hehehe, see the democratic party is about ‘values’ and not specific politicians. While the ‘anxious masculine’ mentally ill of the reichwing sissy boy crowd fixates on ‘Hillary’ because she’s a woman, I clearly want the best politician, and I care not whether it’s a man or a woman. Republicans hate smart and independent women, that’s why you like Condi. She’s a ‘yes-man’, sorta speak…
Now while we’re on the topic of ‘american values’, it seems you and your republican freaks have been using WMDs in Iraq along with your torture camps. If this is what you believe constitutes american values, it would also explain why ‘fixed the election’ so that NeoCon fascists were appointed. What a pathetic douche bag you are…
November 9th, 2005 at 8:21 pmGee Ryan, I guess I hit a nerve. Good luck with your short mans disease. I’m sure thats what’s really bothering you. Napoleon had the same malady. He never did get over it.
November 9th, 2005 at 10:29 pm“I suppose Hillary is your only hope now, you’ve apparently ran out of men.”
So women aren’t capable of helping to run our country? America, the country that’s supposed to be democratic and equal? I find that very interesting… And why does it seem like every conservative loves making personal attacks and calling all Democrats and liberals “momma’s boys”, “sissies”, “no moral scumbags”, et al. That’s very mature and really helps me see what sissies they are. I mean wanting to help people and right injustices? What was I thinking?
November 9th, 2005 at 10:51 pmHey UnAmerican Pee, you stole my word, “sissy”! I wasn’t using it as a talking point, I was using it for chickenhawks. Quit stealing my word if you can’t use it in the proper context.
Sissy=Chickenhawk
November 9th, 2005 at 11:31 pmDid anyone else see a giant DEAD YELLOW ELEOHABT!
November 9th, 2005 at 11:33 pmRyan, did you notice on other threads “cynicon implant” uses the phrase “hit a nerve”..same as UnAmerican Pee….Trolls have multiple personalities or multiple alter egos.
November 9th, 2005 at 11:35 pmDid anyone else see a giant DEAD YELLOW ELEPHANT!
DAMN! It’s not easy to type and drink champagne and have an orgy of liberal HATRED for Republicans! Call Michele Malkin! I’m coming UNHINGED and I like it! Put that freak in an internment camp! Put all of them in internment camps!
Did anyone else see a giant DEAD YELLOW ELEPHANT!
November 9th, 2005 at 11:36 pmWhen repugnicans tell me that all I can do is hate, I say, That’s because what I’d really like to do to them is still against the law, and it ain’t torture, cuz that’s legal.
November 9th, 2005 at 11:39 pmRepublicans expect us to love criminals. Aint gonna happen, I hate them. Always have and always will.
November 9th, 2005 at 11:41 pmGee, American Poop, I guess you’re still in a psychological denial. We won. YOU LOST!
deal with it!
November 9th, 2005 at 11:47 pm#19 – because we are better than you; that is why we don’t steal. That is also what makes you hate us. Some people strive to better themselves and some people (many republicans) prefer to tear others down to their level. You know who you are.
And, by the way, as soon as the bitter hateful repubs trotted out Corzine’s ex-wife your fancy pants republican dropped 3 points overnight. HA! Your tactics of divide and conquer your own people is failing. You didn’t actually expect it to continue did you? That would be naive. When you win via cheat, you really didn’t win at all. Didn’t your mother teach you anything? No one wants to hear your mean crap anymore. Like in Virginia, as soon as that wacko mentioned Hitler, there was a 5 point drop. HA again!
Don’t you get it? Americans are over you. Hell, you don’t even know who is on your side any longer with all of the backtracking that the repubs have to do if they want to win in 08. Don’t you see them altering their belief system? I know I do. Your nasty attempts at trying to make your opponents look bad instead of having a sincere platform means you have no options and are willing to stoop to mere abuse.
November 10th, 2005 at 1:43 pmThe Republican syncophants are becoming hit-and-run posters these days. No real effort at supporting their positions. No wonder, though, only the braindead could support an argument for this administration. Or Sateesh in India who’s making $.75/hour posting Republican talking points on the internet.
Why do these people hate America so much?
