		<description>j.j, what&#039;s with this false history lesson. First, the USA is NOT a TRUE democracy; it&#039;s a REPRESENTATIVE democracy. Which means it tries to approximate the Will of the People, but can be subverted. That&#039;s why this USAttorney scandal is so important; it appears the USAttorneys were out to suppress the Democratic vote and provide the &#039;taint&#039; of scandal during elections.

Venezuela iis a democracy. Chavez is elected and there is a flourishing free press and opposition. Your kind keeps promoting this myth because is scares you that this kind of leader might be the new face of Latin America.

Palestine did elect Hamas. And that sort of put the lie to all the hype about democracy, didn&#039;t it? You want them to elect leaders, but only Republican approved leaders. Ha. Well, I think, since the West Bank is occupied territory, we can view that vote as a protest against Israel.

And Iran? What do you know of Iran? Zip. Ahmadinejad was elected over a moderate --mostly in response to that &quot;Axis of Evil&quot; speech. Iran is a mix of democracy and theocracy. Free speech may be limited, but within a certain range there can be vigorous debate. The biggest threat is external.

Of course I can think of another combination of democracy and theorcracy and it ain&#039;t doing to well either. Pray for George.</description>

		<description>&quot;Well.. except for Palestine.. and Iranâ€¦and Venezulaâ€¦ well.,. ok.. democracy in those countries maybe isnt so good.. but its not TRUE democracy.. its only TRUE democracy if they choose to like america. So im sure theres no way that democracy in iraq coudl turn out bad. Palestine electing Hamas was just a fluke. Iraq is totally different.

JJ are you okay? 

I&#039;m not trying trying to insult you with mock concern, it&#039;s just that your post sounds more like someone who tries to convince himself instead of trying to convince others.

Maybe you have someone you love fighting in Iraq right now and you don&#039;t want his sacrifice to be for nothing.

But coming to ThinkProgress and spewing republican party spin about Iraq war is not how to support him.

If you really care about him you should ask for the troops to be redeployed and timeline for the Iraq war so that he can come home sooner.</description>

		<description>Even Fox is wrong sometimes too. You people are so full of hate. I don&#039;t know why anyone can say republicans are full of hate. What we did to Clinton was not blind hate, because he really did rape that woman and run drugs and and kill vince foster and he certainly deserved to be impeached because lying about ANYTHING under oath, no matter how trivial, is absolutely much more terrible than lying when your not under oath. Sometimes presidents need to lie if they have a good reason to go to war that isnt really marketable. Its hard to tell the people the real reasons for a war when alot of  the people who work for you shook hands and sold weapons to the guy your going to war with. 

It doesnt matter what its about, lying under oath is terrible but saying &quot;I don&#039;t remember&quot;  under oath 45 times in one day is ok. 

Also, its not really that hateful to attack veteran&#039;s war record with unsubstantiated allegations and mock their service with purple heart band aids. Its also not hateful to make up rumours about veterans you are running against. Oh, and trying to generate anger and make laws against people of different sexual orientations  just to get votes, that not hateful at all either. Oh... and its also ok to make fun of cripples with Parkinsons disease, if you think they are just pretending. Doing these things isnt hateful.. you people are hateful against bush just because he starts wars and kills people. Saddam was a bad guy. Except when he was our friend. But that was in the past, and 9-11 changed everything. Three thousand people died, so its ok to kill hundreds of thousands of people to get to Saddam. They are just collateral damage. But we didnt kill them out of hate. So its ok. Because now there is democracy is Iraq. And if those people democratically choose to transform Iraq into an Islamic Theocracy, thats ok. Because Saddam is the worst thing in the world that could ever happen. Nothing is worse than Saddam. If Iraq wants to be just like Iran thats ok, it doesnt matter how many of our soldiers die or how much money we spend, as long as Iraqis can choose thier government, thats whats important. Because democracy is always good. Well.. except for Palestine.. and Iran...and Venezula... well.,. ok.. democracy in those countries maybe isnt so good.. but its not TRUE democracy.. its only TRUE democracy if they choose to like america. So im sure theres no way that democracy in iraq coudl turn out bad. Palestine electing Hamas was just a fluke. Iraq is totally different. Really it is. You guys are so full of hate for thinking that we give Iraqis freedom and anything bad could come of freedom. More American soliders should die so that Iraqis can have the right to be just like Iran..</description>

		<description>Man you repukes are dumba$$es, NO would actually like the surge to be successful, we would love the war to end in peace...but that isn&#039;t going to happen. Have you ever been around Iraqis...no....mmm, I have, and let me tell you they hate each other, it is a civil war, we cannot win a civil war, this is a fact you idiots keep missing.
And yes we hate Bush, cause of lies, corruption, crimes, war crimes, cronyism, fascism, murder, kidnaping, torture, I think those are all good reasons for hating bush, and it is not just the left that hates him either, I am not much of a far left type, but I know BS when I see it.

		<description>I commend THINK PROGRESS for publishing above letters that are critical of their reporting, and so hateful towards &quot;liberals&quot;. This is what Democracy is about: allowing BOTH sides to express their views. As much as it is uncomfortable to read posts that attack my own beliefs, it helps me understand what others are thinking. Maybe both sides can eventually have a calm, respectful conversation and reach some common ground.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;as for the propaganda that Grandpa Bush was funding the Nazis, pure and utter propaganda, left wing nut jobs like Pudgy Boy believe all the crap they read from left wing nut job sites and claim it as fact. Comment by j.j. â€” April 19, 2007 @ 4:32 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Actually the bank Grandpa Bush was an officer in, was funding Hitler.  You however are familiar with propaganda, Nazi boy - since that&#039;s all the sh*t you post.

&lt;em&gt;it must be sad to be you Pudgy Boyâ€¦. Comment by j.j. â€” April 19, 2007 @ 4:32 pm&lt;/em&gt;

More unintentional self reflection.

&lt;em&gt;read some true history and not some ridiculous website that tells you grandpa bush funded the nazis. Comment by j.j. â€” April 19, 2007 @ 4:32 pm&lt;/em&gt;

True history?  You mean like this history on Prescott Bush&#039;s Nazi ties?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1312540,00.html

&lt;em&gt;wow, what is wrong with you sonâ€¦you sound very much like the Korean guy that committed the massacre in VT. Your rant against Christianity and against the rich sound way too much like his rants.
are you his evil soul?  Comment by j.j. â€” April 19, 2007 @ 4:32 pm&lt;/em&gt;

More unintentional self-criticism.  He was in VA, not VT, you ignorant lying piece of sh*t.

Ironic, considering your rants, and poor command of english are quite reminiscent of the shooter.  Poor sad little wacko!  Hope they have you under better mental health care, than that poor lost kid.  Considering how wacko you sound, it&#039;s clear you aren&#039;t under any suitable care.  You&#039;re a good reminder for why we need better health care in this country though - wacko!</description>

		<description>That would be you Jack0ff Jake.

Sonny boy, do you think calling people little one or son makes you seem knowledgeable? You are the one with the hate filled heart who came to this site this morning intentionally to start a fight. If anybody is like the VT killer it is you son. I haven&#039;t said anything about rich people, you just made that sh!t up son. Nobody believes a liar. It is why Bush is in trouble and nobody will listen to you boy.</description>

You have done nothing in this discussion but repeat crap you heard somewhere else... why? because that little bit is all you know. And you are too lazy to go fact check yourself...which leaves me to do it...and I am not going to spend anymore time doing it for you. IF you come up with something worth responding to I will give you another shot.</description>

Check into Granpa Kennedy, a Senator during the 1930s who actually went and visited Hitler and came back and encouraged FDR to join WWII on the side of HItler....guess which party Grandpa Kennedy belong to.....that&#039;s right Democrats!   

as for the propaganda that Grandpa Bush was funding the Nazis, pure and utter propaganda, left wing nut jobs like Pudgy Boy believe all the crap they read from left wing nut job sites and claim it as fact.

it must be sad to be you Pudgy Boy....

		<description>The nutjobs are the people who continually bash their head against the wall of Iraq and expect some different outcome entering the fifth year.  There is an astronomical difference between accepting the reality of the situation and surrendering.   Cling to your pathetic hope that something resembling victory will come out of the Iraq debacle.  When morons like jj finally do come around, they will blame anyone else but the people that put us there and the people that blindly supported this insane endevour.  Its not about fortitude or sticking it out.  Its about how many more American lives and dollars will be wasted for a colossal mistake.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And wasnâ€™t it the Republican party that was scared to offend Hitler and didnâ€™t want anything to do with Britainâ€™s quarrel with the Nazis?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Why yes it was. And why is that you ask? Because people like George W Bush&#039;s grandfather Prescott Bush (R) Conn. were funding the Nazi party. This isn&#039;t a liberal conspiracy theory. Prescott Bush testified in front of Congress and the bank he ran was seized.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;but I am glad that I pushed you to get acquainted with a reliable source like Britanica, hopefully it will help you become better educated&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And the Encyclopedia Britanica is reliable because it has been around a long time. Well, so has the bible, but it has been scewed by each new rewrite. Get with the times dumb a$$. You need information from more than one source and if the one ggibson used, wikipedia, agrees with the Encyclopedia Britanica, how can you state that what he said was wrong, son?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;you know, if any of you nutjobs would had been around during WWII, you would have called it quits on December 7, 1941.

If no then, you would have called it quits during the Battle of the Buldge, or during the battles in which America lost 10s of thousands of Americans and everything seems hopeless and lost.

you poor liberals are so filled with fear, and hate for your nation.

you guys have no problem raising the white flag and running home with your tail between your legs.

the surge just began, all the troopps that are suppose to be part of the surge have gotten to Iraq, so how the hell are liberals claiming that the surge is not working when the surge is not even complete! duh, duh, duhâ€¦.

leave it to liberals to raise the white flag faster than a speeding bullet.

Comment by j.j&lt;/em&gt;

Judging by the number of his typos (troopps?) I&#039;d say j.j is in his cups. Drunk. Enjoying a little Republican courage, as they say down at the Legion.

Wasn&#039;t the Commander-in-Chief during WWII that arch-liberal democrat FDR? And wasn&#039;t it the Republican party that was scared to offend Hitler and didn&#039;t want anything to do with Britain&#039;s quarrel with the Nazis?

And wasn&#039;t it Republican Senate leader Taft who hated the idea of NATO and thought Stalin wasn&#039;t such a dangerous guy. And Joseph McCarthy who kept accusing the Dems of having Lost China?

The Big Myth created in the last quarter of the 20th century was the one where the Republicans know anything about War, Peace, Strategy, Human Rights, or International Relations. Republicans know squat. A newly elected Republican always asks the same question: &lt;strong&gt;Where&#039;s the trough?&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
