    I can’t help but think that ultimately, our best secret defense is to publish the ramblings of lunatics in order to combat the terrorists by making them laugh themselves to death.

    Why do Conservatives always support the terrorists?


  5. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    No need to be polite here, folks. This is one sick f*ck.

    Let ‘er fly boys! Can’t wait to see a troll try and defend this whackjob.

    Ah yes – the Killing Joke, from Monty Python…


  8. DittoHeads Suck says:

    Maybe this time the terrorists will be from Jordan, and we can attack Egypt after we’re bogged down in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran…

    Bring on the Draft!


  9. J Lewd says:

    Mommy, why do Conservatives hate America? Is it because of our freedom?


  10. bilbobaggins says:

    “It is not Bush and it is not Hillary and it is not Daily Kos or Bill O’Reilly or Giuliani or Barack. It is global terrorists who use Islam to justify their hideous sins, including blowing up women and children.”

    Here’s what he says to set up the bogyman. Unfortunately his pea brain doesn’t think about all the women and children we are blowing up in Iraq. That’s as sick and hideous a sin as terrorists doing it. That writer is a serious nutcase.


  11. Peter Abelard says:

    This guy is a liberal.


  12. Gerald Gibson says:

    If the rightwingers dont encourage the terrorist from over here then the terrorists will just stay over there… dont you libs see that? umm hold on…


  13. DittoHeads Suck says:

    Hey Peter,

    When the draft is started, will you be running to Canada? Getting a deferment? Or just killing yourself, (in which case please post it on You Tube).

    k thx!

    He’s got a point boys. We’re letting a ding-dong take over the thread. Stop replying to him. It’s what he wants. Bad attention beats no attention.

    Comment by Peter Abelard — August 9, 2007 @ 8:44 pm

    You’re a liar. he’s not a liberal. He’s a fascist tool, an antiAmerican nutjob, by definition a conservative. calling him a liberal is a lie, even if he’s calling himself one. he’s not a liberal, and you are a LIAR. that much is perfectly clear, and has beem since you came here to throw your turds of idiocy around.


  25. Tom3 says:

    Petey Asslard is a Repuke troll with nothing to say.

    I read the article. He is a prowar and wants another terrorist attack so Americans unite to support more war. How does that make him a liberal? Your English language comprehension is sad.


  28. Tired Of Fighting says:

    This guy will probably be invited to the White House for the next Conservative talking point meeting with the POTUS. Goes to show what passes for “Journalism” these days.

    BTW is Rupert Murdoch still running TP? Just thought I’d ask.

  29. chuck says:

    now that’s just stinkin thinkin


  30. ronjazz says:

    I just read that tripe again, and there is nothing there to indicate that fool is a liberal. He’s a cowardly, sociopathic twit, the very definition of a republican creep. Anybody who claims he’s a liberal is lying.


  31. DR says:

    To: Peter Abelard.

    Where in the article do you see anything which makes this guy a liberal? His is a standard middle of the road DC insider view, not a liberal view.

    Based on the content of the article, he seems to be a huge fan of Bush 41, and I would not be surprised to learn that he’s in love with Reagan’s ghost. Once again, not a very liberal view.

    So, either prove your point, or shut up.


  32. Peter Abelard says:

    Only a Lib would say this:

    From the article:

    Bush I did everything right, Bush II did everything wrong – but he did it with the backing of Congress.

    Because the war has been a botch so far, Democrats and Republicans are attacking one another, when they aren’t attacking themselves. The dialog of discord echoes across America.

    HE IS A LIBERAL!!!!!!!


  33. shane says:

    So now we’re fighting them over there to incite more terrorists to come attack us here so we can continue to fight them over there forever and nobody will complain.

    Yup.

    This guy is a liberal.

    Comment by Peter Abelard —

    From the article:

    Bush I did everything right, Bush II did everything wrong – but he did it with the backing of Congress.

    A liberal would not say “Bush I did everything right.”


  36. J Lewd says:

    I hate to agree with Peter Abelard, but on this one, he appears to be correct. Don’t bother going to Bykofsky’s home page: it appears to be a blank site intended to deter flames. Check his short bio and list of articles here: (http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/stu_bykofsky/).

    Not that that doesn’t answer why Conservatives hate America — just that this leftwing nutjob is as bad as the right. That’s the sad thing about ignorance: anyone and everyone can have it.


  37. Peter Abelard says:

    A conservative would not say “Bush II did everything wrong”


  38. shane says:

    A conservative would not say “Bush II did everything wrong”

    Comment by Peter Abelard — August 9, 2007 @ 8:55 pm

    A true conservative most definitely would.


  39. J Lewd says:

    37. Actually, a true conservative might. In fact, a number of Reagan conservatives are starting to. But a neoconservative wouldn’t.


  40. This Machine Kills Fascists says:

    You can’t tell what his political views are from this, but one thing for sure…

    Dumbass.


  41. Peter Abelard says:

    Thanks, J Lewd.

    Bykofsky’s Bio:

    Stu Bykofsky has been a columnist with the Philadelphia Daily News since 1987. Prior to the column, his assignments included theater critic, TV critic, copy editor, general assignment features reporter. A native of New York City, Stu has won numerous public service and journalism awards. His professional affiliations include the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and Philadelphia’s Pen and Pencil Club. He supports civil-rights, human-rights and animal causes. He is married.

    LIBERAL.


  42. Peter Abelard says:

  43. TomIII says:

    This guy is no liberal.

    He’s a trianglulating DLC Hillary lover.

    Just another corporate ho.


  44. J Lewd says:

    Actually, his selection of articles is more telling. If we go simply by his bio, one might argue that this makes him conservative: “He is married.”

    I joke.

    He is only saying what most neocons seem to be thinking.

    Yeah, Peter Absurd, I am no fan of true conservatives (todays Libertarians) but, yeah, a lot of them hate Georgie.


  48. JPark says:

    Peter Absurd has Tourette’s


  49. Peter Abelard says:

    HE IS PRO-GAY TOO:

    From one of his other articles:

    Gramley also believes Philly’s gay-oriented events attract trouble-makers. In my experience, there are fewer problems on Gay Pride Day than during Cinco de Mayo, St. Paddy’s Day or the Greek Picnic.

    WHY DOES THIS LIBERAL HATE AMERICA!!?!?!?!?!?!??!!


  50. ronjazz says:

    He has the same bio as Rudely julie-annie! Some liberal. peter has proven his irrelevance very well with this foolishness.


  51. JPark says:

    What has he said that makes you think he hates America? He agrees with you that the war is GREAT. Oh, you are right, he DOES hate America.


  52. shane says:

    Peter Absurd has Tourette’s

    Comment by JPark — August 9, 2007 @ 9:04 pm

    Don’t make excuses for him. He has made a choice to support the fascism of Bushco and to convince us that’s what’s best for us. He has chosen evil.


  53. ronjazz says:

    why do conservativ es hate Americans, especially gays? there are more gay Republicans than straight ones, but their denial is very deep. what a bunch of lunatics on the Right.

  60. Peter Abelard says:

    I don’t even cuss on here, anymore. TP is getting out of hand with the random censorship.


  61. Peter Abelard says:

    Congratulations, boys! You’ve let ONE troll take over the whole thread!

    Hey, the first commentors here wanted to paint this guy as a conservative, which he most certainly is not.

    AMEN, JPark!

    I think the trolls rule this site. We need to go elsewhere.
    I believe I still have your email address. We can talk about a new site, OK?


  76. Jay Randal says:

    trueblue > a real progressive blog site is needed badly. One that bans Bush loving trolls.


  77. JPark says:

    Let me guess, TP, in a couple of days will be Mr P.’s alts talking to himself. Nice. Welcome to obscurity TP. I would go to huffpo but they can’t seem to post your comment within 2 hours. Any suggestions?

    I’m going over to FDL, someone else already has this screen name, so I chose another… see ya!


  79. JPark says:

    Hmm, true, I don’t know why but my post was deleted (shocking). I am looking forward to hearing from you.


  80. JPark says:

    FDL is awfully woman centered. Americablog is gay centered. How about a blog for liberals? Something like TP a year ago.


  81. Glenda Beck says:

    “Any suggestions?”
    JPark, americablog, crooksandliars and thesmirkingchimp.


  82. JPark says:

    Sorry, but one final rant. How the f do you chase away Zooey and True??? Are you stoned? Me, that is ok. I am kind of a jerk but you have two stalwarts on your site and you do everything you can to chase them away. Were you bought by Rupert Murdoch and nobody found out???


  83. JPark says:

    Glenda, AB is good and I do visit but I am not gay so I don’t feel too accepted. C & L is a possibility. I will look at smirking, I don’t think I have ever been there. Thank you very much.


  84. Jay Randal says:

    JPark > AmericaBlog’s owner is a Gay man with a chip on his shoulder. Some of the threads are OK, but a recent one on YouTube Gay dating turned me off.


  85. Hanlon says:

    You know, he has a point. I mean, it’s a horrible sentiment, but he’s basically saying that Bush has ruined our national unity, distracted us from the war on terror, and it may take another terrorist attack to shock the misled masses into remembering what we were SUPPOSED to be doing all this time.

    He phrased it like an idiot, though.


  86. JPark says:

    Jay, I am glad you responded!!! You seem to be a lot like me (no offense). Do you have any blogs you really like?


  87. Marie says:

    The man who wrote that is an idiot.
    If he was trying to criticize Bush or the American public, he failed.
    If he was trying to support Bush and hope for another attack on America to validate himself, then he is one sick f–k.


  88. trueblue says:

    JPark,

    I have to disagree with you.

    You have never given me the impression of being a jerk.

    Sorry, you may not like this, but I actually think you’re pretty nice.

    :)

    Jay,

    I hope you will not waste your talent here much longer, either. I like your posts and hope you will visit us wherever you settle.

  91. JPark says:

    TMM, you would be a GREAT addition to wherever we go. Maybe one of us has the cojones to start a blog (not me).


  92. Jay Randal says:

    JPark > none of the current blogs sites tickle my fancy. Huffington Post has deleted my comments in the past, so I ignore that site. AmericaBlog is turning into a all Gay issues site. DailyKos is interesting to read sometimes, but I do not like the format. We need a new site.


  93. JPark says:

    I was deleted, again, true. I said something like “Thanks, I go overboard, blah, blah, blah. TP used to be cool, blah, blah, blah”.


  94. trueblue says:

    TMM!

    You bet.
    :)

    Nice to hear from you as well.

    Remember when I got all the email addresses and we coordinated our own TP strike?

    That was great. It was American activism in practice.

    Guess we need to do it again.

    I don’t know about you fellow posters, but it makes me feel great that we have each other, and (still) have the freedom of choice.


  95. curmudgeon says:

    I heard someone say recently that the Dems have been caving in on the big issues because they have been threatened.

    Does anyone think that this might be the case?

    If so, any thoughts as to what that threat might be?

    The actions of the Dems since early this year have been truly perplexing, and I’m not convinced that we’ve received a believable explanation yet.

    I can only hope that the person who made the statement referenced in the first paragraph is seriously mistaken. If not, our nation is surely headed into previously uncharted waters.

    Anyone?

    If you all find a new blog site, or start one, then I will take part in it.

    I’m sorry.

    Your sentiment came thru’ loud and clear, though.


  99. JPark says:

    Jay, Huffpo is out of the question because they take an hour to post posts anyway. So I guess real liberals are out of options. Funny that righties think the blog is so far left. It is a joke.

    Yes, I remember, trueblue, and it looks like we need to something a little more permanent than just a repeat of our walkout. Like, perhaps, walking out permanently…

    What do you guys think of Smirking Chimp? User registration, threaded discussions, and a level of discourse far above what we observe here…

    I’m not sure what your problem is, I post at Huffington Post quit frequently and my posts always appear instantly. You have to have your screen set to “expand” and “refresh” to see your post right away.

    One site that I really wish people would visit is http://www.mcclatchydc.com/. I’m sure you will recognize the name McClatchy. They are the only MSM today that is really doing investigative reporting and they are more often than not the first to break a story. They have a comments section. The problem is that no one posts there. It’s pretty lonely!

    do you really think all the secrecy about the warrentless spying
    that’s been going on for years is because of the terrists?

    they are spying on political enemies.
    what else?

    they’ve always had all the tools needed

    Actually, it takes them about an hour to ban you. And then they block your IP address from even accessing their site. So, if you work for a large company, go there and get banned. That will mean that no one in your company will be able to access redstate.com since most business’ have only one IP address.

    If you want to post to a conservative website, go to Politico.com. Sometimes I am allowed to post there and other times not. I haven’t figured that one out yet.

    But, if you want a really serious blog with no trolls, go to Daily Kos. Those folks are really serious over there.

    You think that by going to smirking chimp you won’t bring your childish liberal rhetoric with you?

    I love that saying, probably because I can never pull it off.

    Love it.

  123. JPark says:

    bilbo, I am the last person that is looking for no trolls. I am looking not to get deleted and banned for stating my liberal opinion. The Red State thing was a joke.

    Jay, Attytood is good stuff. It is pretty Philly though. Do they want to go beyond the city?


  146. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Interesting….my earlier post was deleted. Thanks so much, TP… :/

    bilbobaggins sez:

    But, if you want a really serious blog with no trolls, go to Daily Kos. Those folks are really serious over there.

    No thanks, bilbo. Daily Kos ruthlessly censors all posts that question the official mythology of nine*eleven. I get that enough here…I don’t need to go elsewhere to be treated in that manner.

    Let’s see if this one makes it through…


  147. JPark says:

    They have been getting a lot of trolls lately. An infusion of liberalism would do them good.


  148. TITVS LIVIVS says:

    Yeah, the libtrolls are out of control!


  149. Jay Randal says:

    JPark > Attytood has a quick filter, so the posts go up quick and the owner seems open to getting more exposure. I have never had any post deleted, but usually just one thread put up daily. Which means the subject can be boring for that day.


  150. TripMaster Monkey says:

    hat mouth-breathing neocon apologist trolls such as yourself are immune to irony. You pretty much have to be, else your heads would explode from the cognitive dissonance.

  178. Matt says:

    NOT A LIBERAL.

    Look, if you want to go back and get his past articles, who the hell cares? Are we going to go out and honestly assume that a person must have the label of “liberal” or “conservative” when we all know that a person is almost always (at least!) a teensy bit of both? This whole “liberal” vs. “conservative” idea is absurd.

    What is important is what he said in this article, and in the sense that he seeks to promote a political environment where DIVERSITY of OPINIONS are shunned in favor of “lessons from the past” and “the old standards”, HE IS PROMOTING RIGHT WING ideals!!!

    Sorry, but it’s the truth.


  179. p says:

    Comment by Matt — August 10, 2007 @ 2:43 am

    Nope. He’s a lib. Read his bio. and I can guarantee that liberal commentors here have said the exact same thing as the author of this article.


  180. p says:

    Plus,
    this guy is worried about the partisanship of the govt.

    No conservative cares about that. Conservatives know that their way is the right way, and that the Dems are too weak-minded to stop them.

    He is saying that another attack will bring the American people together.

    Not the motive of a conservative. Hard-core conservatives would want to use an attack to invade a foreign country. But we don’t have to do that anymore, so no conservative would say such a thing.

    Comment by p — August 10, 2007 @ 2:50 am

    Again, if you want to go on calling people “libs” or “cons”, you have a tragically skewed view on American politics (and democratic governance in general).

    Treat the issues on a one-by-one basis. (Have you never read Thomas Paine?)

    In this case, this man is clearly a conservative in this article. He seeks to stifle the diversity of opinions and idealize uniformity as desirable, and that is a hallmark of a conservative viewpoint.

    So saying that you “guarantee” that other commentators here have echoed the same position is a moot point. It doesn’t matter because if they have the same line of reasoning as this nitwit, they are acting nutzo-conservatively, too.


  182. Probus says:

    This columnist owes the 9-11 victims families an apology for his insensitive comments. 9-11 was a horribly tragic day for all Americans and for him to say something so completely insensitive is unacceptable. He should be fired for his comments.

    Comment by Matt — August 10, 2007 @ 3:12 am

    Wrong. This man is clearly an emotional, whiny lib. He trys to answer the question “Why can’t we all just get along?”

    Conservatives are looking out for the economic and strategic interests of America in the international arena. Liberals are more concerned with Bush-bashing. This guy is a whines about forest fires, for crying out loud. He doesn’t say a single thing that a conservative would care about.

    Uniformity is not mentioned, but rather the emphasis is on unity. Libs have been going on and on about the difference between the classes and the political parties, in fact, the liberal talking point is “WE the PEOPLE, WE the PEOPLE, WE the PEOPLE” the don’t shut up about it. You don’t hear E Pluribus Unum from a conservative.

    No, Matt, it seems you just can’t deal with the truth. Your moonbat buddy who wrote this trashy article is a lib just like you. A piece of trash.

    Deal with it.

    Comment by p — August 10, 2007 @ 4:34 am

    Oh my, looks like I hit a nerve.

    Oops! lol

    And yet, predictably, you still don’t understand what I’m saying. You succeed only in digging your hole deeper.

    Terms like “libs” or “cons” are for the simple-minded. The fact is, almost everyone is liberal on some issues, and conservative on others.

    This plays right into my point, as you’ve exemplified exactly what I’m talking about… You, a shining example of what rightism does to people, cannot wrap your mind around this simple concept. To you, it seems there’s a blue team and a red team, and there is no ambiguity at all.

    This is prevalent on the political right. I suspect it’s mainly due to the fact that the only definition for conservatism rests on what it opposes. In order for rightist thought to remain relevant, an enemy is required. It’s been that way since the dawn of democratic governance.

    So you can imagine how unsurprised I am to see that you feel that everyone else out there is exactly like you in that they adhere strictly to either the liberal label or the conservative label. (Goebbels:“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it people will eventually come to believe it.”) Fortunately, however, there are enough people out there who see things rationally and realize that people have different opinions on the issues. They don’t go around saying “That liberal” or “That conservative” because it’s so much more complicated than that.

    Now, I know, Rush Limbaugh blabbers on about this, Ann Coulter blabs about that, and Bill O’Reilly even went so far as to characterize the supposed struggle between “conservatives” and “liberals” as a WAR! (ie. “Culture Warrior”?? pffft.) This, of course, is extremely damaging to the nation. But I suppose it’s ok as long as red, white and blue are on the cover.

    You are being manipulated. You are a tool. You have bought up the hate that is at the very core of the ideology as it exists today, and it has caused you to see things in an inaccurate manner.


  189. Philly Boy says:

    Having read Bykofsky for many years — many times with a tinfoil hat on to minimize the possible brain damage that could result — I wouldn’t classify him as liberal or conservative. He’s an egomaniac nutjob whose last great Quixotic effort involved trying to stop a proposed smoking ban in Philadelphia bars and restaurants that eventually became law.


  190. LividLib says:

    whether he, or Peter Retard considetrs himself a liberal, conservative, fascist, etc is irrelevant. the fact is the guy needs professional help. he’s freaking crazy, as is little Peter.


  191. Styve says:

    Hey,


    Third effort –

    Please take these creeps seriously…we are in Portland, OR, where there are terrorism drills scheduled for August and October. Look up Noble Resolve, and start calling your Congresspeople to ask why Peter DeFazio is being denied full disclosure on NSPD 51.

    NSPD 51, with its sections on Continuity of Government under King George, could greatly impact what is being rehearsed…could be Martial Law, or use of the National Guard on crowds.

    This step toward a Fascist dictatorship could be why these loons think the US needs another 9-11.
