June 3rd, 2007 at 5:53 pmwhat about the fellow soldiers still coping with the violence, jake, any blessings available for them?
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:01 pmSupport the troops. End the war.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:04 pmI already pray from them and the President every day.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:06 pmGod bless the families and friends left behind.

Because that works so well for them?
Another failed Republican strategy – pray and do nothing else… (hint: You gotta do the something else because prayer doesn’t work).
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:08 pmDoesn’t seem like your prayers are working very well…..
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:09 pmcheck out my new tune i recorded over memorial weekend.

And look how well that’s going…
Stop praying and start doing something. Like suiting up and joining the military (we know you’re only 25).
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:09 pmTHE BIG STORY this week is Greg Palast handing over evidence of Republican voter caging of minorities to Judiciary Committee head John Conyers. (Full story/picture GregPalast.com)
Greg Palast said on Randi Rhodes’ show on Friday that this story is headlining Newscasts around the world. It is not even being mentioned in the U.S.
Tim Griffin, Karl Rove’s former right-hand man resigned immediately on Thursday. The evidence Greg Palast submitted ties him to the alleged crime. The media reporter the former. But not the latter.
The big question is does this evidence also ensnare Karl Rove? It may.
Please contact any and all media and DEMAND coverage of this story. If we don’t they’ll ignore it like so many other stories that could’ve delivered the knockout blow to Bushco.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:10 pmPharisees inquire if dead people were Christian. And they wear they’re prayers on their sleeves and bumper stickers and their comments when they troll. Jake the Pharisee. Yeah I know, you’re not a Pharisee. Phharisees didn’t know they were Pharisees, either. 2 bad 4 u.
Occupation
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:11 pmon friday, juan cole provided a gruesome summary…
it never gets better… it only gets worse…
And, yes, I DO take it personally
it never gets better, it only gets worse…

Comment by Larry from C — June 3, 2007 @ 6:10 pm
The ratings-whore media seem to be paying attention to what we talk about in blogs like TP, so we should talk about it here as well.
Thanks for the information, I’ll also put it through my own “town crier” process (emailing it to everyone I know). :D
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:14 pmFrom Larry’s article:
“Experts have concluded the caging lists were designed for a mass challenge of voters’ right to cast ballots. The caging lists were heavily weighted with minority voters including homeless individuals, students and soldiers sent overseas.”
Seriously, what hasn’t the left been right about? We have known this. Glad to see there may be proof coming forward.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:18 pmthanks, Larry from C!
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:19 pmLandSurveyor:
I was answering a question, not wearing prayers on my sleeve. I wanted to know if Steve Gilliard was a Christian on the other thread because that could go a long ways to comfort friends and family left behind. IIRC some Christians (like Catholics) still pray for the dead.
Off topic: do you think people who are not legally registered to vote should be allowed to vote nonetheless?
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:20 pm#10…
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:21 pmit’s just so…
sad, you see?
Yeah, Jake the Pharisee. Hi unbelieveable!
The War is over. Stop the Occupation!

Because you only value a human life if that human believes in Invisible Sky Daddies?
You’re incorrigible.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:24 pmOh, I thought that LandSurveyor was simply telling us what his / her Occupation was. Thank goodness most Americans don’t want us to lose the war.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:24 pmDo not discuss voting with Jake. He is trying to fill the internets with fabricated hysteria. Let’s discuss how many Republicans will perish because they suppress legal voting.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:26 pmI think all LEGAL voters should be allowed to vote.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:26 pmHi unbelieveable!
Hi G! :)
The War is over. Stop the Occupation!
Comment by Guido the Loving OBGYN — June 3, 2007 @ 6:22 pm
I’m wondering it there ever was a war, or if the whole thing, from day one was just an occupation sold as a war?
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:27 pmPlease don’t feed the trolls.
They’re idiots with nothing to say.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:31 pmJake, it’s not a war, but an occupation. You idiot. MOST Americans want to have NO part of an occupation of Iraq, policing a civil war.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:31 pmLarry from C,
I heard about this one (I get the newsletters from gregpalast.com). I went to the USDOJ website and they make no mention of it, nor does the website for US Attorney Tim Griffin. Of course, since it is unpleasant news, it’s entirely possible that they will be slow to announce it. Too many people’s ears might perk up when they hear, “Tim Griffin, Karl Rove’s protege,” and they might begin to wonder why all of a sudden he’s resigning.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:36 pmWell, sure, if you poll Americans if they want us to be involved in Nazi doctor experimentations, they will say “no” to that as well. The AUMF is the legal equivalent to a declaration of war.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:38 pmIt’s called push-polling.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:42 pm#25 Wayne and everyone else…If memory serves me correctly, Palast said that 4 million votes were scrubbed in 2004. He estimates that 6 million will be scrubbed in 2008. That’s like starting a football game with the score 14-0 before the opening kickoff. When you combine that with rigged voting machines and exit poll manipulation 2008 starts to look scary.
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:53 pmDo you think people who are not legally registered to vote should be allowed to vote nonetheless?
June 3rd, 2007 at 6:55 pmWHOOP WHOOP WHOOP
FIGHT ON ANTI OCCUPATION IRAQI RESISTANCE FREEDOM FIGHTERS !!!!
THE WORLD SUPPORTS YOU IN YOUR FIGHT TO EXTERMINATE THE INVADERS AND OIL STEALERS !!!!!
WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP

Are you an American?
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:05 pmJake,
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:07 pmDo you think people who were legally registered to vote should be disenfrancised illegally? Kathlene Harris did exactly that to over 20,000 voters in Florida in 2000.
ah, the racist jake has another talking point, now they are trying to spread the idea that “illegal immigrants vote” which is patently ridiculous. You clearly have no clue about illegal immigrants. This is the same mindset as thinking alQueda and Hussein had anything to do with each other. You have ZERO understanding of Mexican culture, obviously. There is NO WAY any illegal immigrant would have any desire to vote. There is NO WAY any illegal would want to show up where there are govt. officials or INS will be there. They fear situations like that. Yet another fool spreading disinformation and lies lies lies.
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:10 pmNow illegals are having to seek sanctuary due to the gestapo tactics that have been going on in this country this year.
I know you have no capacity for compassion for anyone but your sorry self but YOUR ancestors immigrated, what if THEY were treated like you think these folks should be? Dont bother answering that, I know exactly what you will say
If memory serves me correctly, Palast said that 4 million votes were scrubbed in 2004.
Comment by Larry from C — June 3, 2007 @ 6:53 pm
5 million. I just highlighted that part in the article I sent to my email list (I sent them his Buzzflash inteview, adding an update about Goodling, Griffin’s resignation and reminding them that the middle class vote will be targetted when they are done with the Poor, Blacks and Hispanics)
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:22 pmThe small handful of illegals who were registered to vote, were actually registered Republican…
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:25 pmya just have to love repuke piety…it soothes any vestiges of conscience, decency and humanity that might be hanging around. those things can be so annoying!
they say the words and think it’s enough.
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:38 pmFor the record, I was not referring to illegal aliens above, as there are plenty of U.S. citizens who are not legally registered to vote as well. If anyone NOT on the “Ignore List” wants to answer my question (”do you think people who are not legally registered to vote should be allowed to vote nonetheless?”), please let me know.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:13 pmHey, Jake
F*#k you.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:18 pmI already pray from them and the President every day.

For the record, Shakey, no one here is particularly interested in responding to your ridiculous Straw Man questions. I’d explain further, but as I’m already on your infantile “ignore list” for daring to ask you a question you couldn’t answer, I think I’ll just leave you to reflect on why your “question” isn’t worth responding to.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:21 pmJake: go away.
This is the only answer :

June 3rd, 2007 at 8:21 pmDo you think people who are not legally registered to vote should be allowed to vote nonetheless?
Comment by Jake
Jake, I know it’s illegal, but if poeple had to take an IQ test to vote, you’d be dead meat. Other than yourself, who do you think you’re fooling?
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:22 pmFor the record, the only ways to get on the “Ignore List” are personal attacks (such as “F*#k you” or all the other names I am called) or refusing to answer my question first. If anyone NOT on the “Ignore List” asks a question, I will ALWAYS answer it. Conversely, if someone on the “Ignore List” asks a question, I will not answer it.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:25 pmFor the record, Jake is a liar.
Here’s Jake’s alleged reasoning for placing me on the “ignore list”:
Jake sez:
I can only assume you’re referring to this thread, Jake, since you seem unable to substantiate your claims with links.
Please point out the post where you asked me “how the outcome of that trial would have been different”.
I’ll wait…
…
Now that you’re back with nothing to show, perhaps you’ll retract your false accusations…although I know better than to give you that much credit.
Here’s the difficult question, that actually anded me on the “ignore list”.
I’ll post it again, for everyone’s benefit.
Two things:
One: Jake ignored me at first, and then claimed to have posted a response, which was subsequently ‘disappeared’ by the TP editors. I replied that this was rather unlikely, and, even if it were true, why didn’t he simply post the answer again? After all, Jake seems to pride himself upon answering questions…he asks often enough if anyone has any for him…
Two: This post occurred on the same day as the tobacco thread Jake mentioned earlier. Since his stated reason for placing me on the “ignore list” was that I didn’t answer a question he never asked, and since I have proof that I asked him a question he subsequently deliberately evaded, it seems overwhelmingly likely that I’m actually on the “ignore list” because Jake is afraid to debate further with me. I’d be willing to wager that asking Jake questions he can’t answer, and pointing out his lies, are the only two reasons for inclusion in The List â„¢.
I hope this clears up any lingering confusion on this issue.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:31 pmFor the record, TMM was placed on the “Ignore List” prior to that question ( which I have answered anyways, to wit “Subsequent Presidential advisors will be forced to independently evaluate their advice, and therefore may not give perfectly legal advice out of an abundance of caution, which will not provide the next President with a full range of available options”). If anyone NOT on the “Ignore List” has questions about any of this, let me know.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:40 pmA certain poster, who shall remain unnamed, continues to stand up straw men in a vain attempt to lure others into immortal kombat.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:42 pmAin’t happenin, jackass.
Not sure if I’m on your Ignor-ant List or not, little jake turkey, in any event I have no questions to ask you.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:43 pmYou answered the one question I might have asked you a long time ago!
#47, do you mean Voldemort? :-) Or someone who has almost the same name as I do – shall we call him “Predictable J”?
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:53 pmOops, I forgot that Wayne was posting before me–D’OH!! :(
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:54 pmJake sez:
That’s not what you said on that day, Shakey.
And your “answer” only begs the question.
You’re busted, Shakey. Everyone can see you for exactly what you are (not that they needed my help).
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:56 pmHey Wayne!
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:56 pmUpon further reflection, it could be applied to lots of the asswipe trolls lately, but I was referring to the “who should be allowed to vote” strawthingy.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

For the record, Jake ignores his Ignore List.
June 3rd, 2007 at 9:11 pmBush does not care how many US soldiers die daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. He only cares about the OIL in Iraq and nothing else.
