#20 WTF is wrong with the people in this country? What would it take to open peoples eyes? I. Do. Not. Get. It.

Mybe nice vivid pictures of American soldiers picture getting pulverized in Iraq. You know, the GI standing there in his boots looking tense & one minute later he’s just just a pink mist after the IED gets him. A nice prime time video of that would perhaps bring Americans to their senses but highly doubtful.

# 60 – BTW, isnâ€™t deception a sin or something?
Comment by Martin Gifford

Depends on who you ask. In Islam and the LDS church, deception is perfectly acceptable. As long as its not one of ‘your own’. LDS believes it’s OK to deceive, bilk, and manipulate ‘Gentiles’ (Utah = Some of the highest levels of white-collar crime) and Islam teaches that deceiving ‘Non-believers’ is okey dokey.

#56 – Most college grads donâ€™t have an inkling of the relationship between the economy in general and the stock market — Well, they don’t really come out of college with an inkling about much of anything based in reality at all. Their days are spent as activists against the ‘administration’. It’s a badge of honor among them as to who attended which/the most rallies. When college kids are graduating expecting to make 100K/yr. (and they are) then SOMEONE has filled their heads with nonsense and they are not prepared for the REAL WORLD. Spending their childhood having their self-esteem/sense of self-worth unrealistically inflated only sets them up for a really big smack of reality. And then who do they blame? The teachers who told them they were the most specialest? The coaches who deemed it important to make ‘everyone a winner’? Nope! They blame the establishment for ‘letting it happen’. You raise kids to not know what losing feels like, then they’ll never be self-aware enough to realize that they are indeed losers.

Osama bin Laden must be overjoyed!

He hated Saddam and considered him an infidel and wanted him toppled in the hope of establishing an Islamist government in Iraq. On the other hand, Saddam was against Islamist governments.

But 41% of Americans think Saddam and OBL were on the same team!

Americans need to distinguish between the free market and politics. In the free market it’s okay to hype your product, but in politics you should be forced to tell…

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

So help you God.

Well, it IS possible that Saddam Husseinâ€™s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 but he destroyed the evidence. We know Saddam Husseinâ€™s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks in Israel, for instance. Also, according to the final Charles Dueffler report, the U.S. has found chemical and biological weapons in Iraq — just not active stockpiles. Next polling question?

Col. Jack,

Take it easy on little jonny, he’s just scared of the po-po. You know, he thinks they’re weird and icky and probably have cooties. Besides, he’s never actually seen a real one.

Kids pay big bucks for an education they need in order to work for peanuts so they can pay off the student loan? Who has time to analyze the political landscape? Just go along and vote conservative because you want your job to be secured at any cost. Sicko II, Michale Moore? Most college grads don’t have an inkling of the relationship between the economy in general and the stock market, leaving them open to be savaged by brokers who advise them to stay in their risky 401K investments for the long run, which ensures the brokers will be the ones who retire well off.

Poor little jonny. He’s just so afraid of women he can hardly make sense. Jonny, part of being progressive is supporting the idea that people should be paid the same money for the same work regardless of gender. Feminism is mainly about fairness in the workplace. Progressives are all about economic fairness. If you don’t agree that women should be paid the same as men if they’re doing the same work, you’ll never understand thing one about what it means to be a progressive.

I’d support Progressives if they’d renounce their support of the destructive anti-male hate movement known as Feminism. Until then ….

That is uncomfortably high and shows that the so-called “Assault on Reason” is succeeding to a disturbing degree. How long before we start talking about how the “corrections” of history performed today are double-plus-good?

This is the result of corporate-controlled mainstream media and 91% radio saturation of right-wing talk. There is simply no other explanation for it.

What happened to my post in defense of Terry the Turtle’s Post? It just disappeared. All the posts are now out of order. #41 has shifted as have many others.

SGT…I don’t accept criticism from people who ignore facts. Ignoring facts may be a simpler way to live. And if that’s satisfactory for you then have a ball. For me its untenable.

*I’ve never seen any evidence of a plane hitting the Pentagon. If you have that video I’d love to see it.

*I need to know why WTC 7 was stacked with explosives and ready to be imploded prior to 9/11.

*I need to know why several insiders in the Bush admin. refused to fly commercially in the months preceding 9/11.

*I need to know why Condolleza Rice pretended not to have seen an important report on Al-Qaeda’s plans to attack the US in the Spring before 9/11. Then when threatened with subpoena suddenly remembered it.

* My working theory is that Bushco knew Al Qaeda was ready to attack very soon and simply allowed it to happen, thus allowing the PNAC manifesto to be implemented. This scenario is just as nefarious as neo-cons actually being involved in the planning of the attack, of which, at this time, I’m unaware of any conclusive proof.

Dale – LOL , I agree. But that’s angry vet’s point…..that they are SOOOO dumb (How dumb are they?) they’ll vote for a party who doesn’t even like them. Lib’s will go to any length to make themselves look good….and when they don’t, well there must be a neocon conspiracy behind it.
It’s pathetic.

Lets face it. Americans are dumb. Particularly the lower income, less educated sector. They vote Republican, for gawds sake! That is just stupid. Voting for a warmongering party that could give a damn about the needs of the disadvantaged. So, I am not surprised that 41% are out to lunch on the Saddam/911 â€œconnectionâ€â€¦.gullible dumfuxsâ€¦..
Who was it that said you will never be wrong by understimating the smarts of john q. public/usa? â€¦or something like that.

Dumb. Shameful. Disgusting.

Comment by angryvietnamvet â€” June 25, 2007 @ 4:47 pm

So the lower-income less educated sector votes Republican, in order to have their needs ignored? Does that make *any* sense to anybody else? Anyone?

Lower income families are more likely to vote Dem than Rep. Dem’s tell ‘em, “we’ll take care of you, we’ll get you food, programs, whatever you need. We’ll fight to raise your pay and stick it to your employer, not you. Oh, you ain’t from around here? Well, vote for us and we’ll let you bring your family here and by golly, we’ll feed them too.”

#41 – Terry, I dunno, maybe you didnâ€™t actually think anyone would click your link.

But seriously, Youâ€™re getting your information and news from a liberal professor of economics and then passing it off as truth? You lose all credibility when your argument becomesâ€¦.â€But my teacher said so..â€

Passing what off as truth? I linked to an analysis that I found interesting reading drawing a parallel between the 2002 switch to ‘Saddam, Saddam, Saddam’ and ‘OBL who?’ that came out of the White House to build public opinion for war in Iraq and I merely note that I have noticed a similar ‘drumbeat’ for Iran in the media going on right now. The article is a collection of thoughts and links made by someone else.

The guy is certifiable Are you his psychiatrist? Or maybe this is just your ‘gut’ again? Anyone who is interested will of course read the article, measure what he says on merit and maybe read further. You it appears can do nothing but smear the article and close your mind.
