		<description>The issue with the MoveOn add is not its criticism, but who and how, the criticism is raised WITH ABSOLUTELY NOE PROOF of the actual claim. 

I would say it is perfectly logical to use such a label to describe whichever member of Congress you think is betrying the Country, but when it is a person that puts himself, voluntarily, in harms way. Je deserves more respect. Plus you can dissagree with his assesment without saying that he is betraying the Country.</description>

And once again you refuse to respond to the issues raised in the MoveOn ad and show how they correspond to treasonous acts by the good general.

I doubt you&#039;ve even seen the MoveOn ad since you apparently cannot comprehend a damn thing.</description>

		<description>Comment by O. Bigfoot â€” September 30, 2007 @ 9:33 am

Reported as both spam and a personal attack.

Bigfoot, you are testing the boundaries, I see.   I&#039;m publicly denouncing your spammed post (posted on 3 threads, that&#039;s the definition of newsgroup/bbs spam) with the personal attacks spread throughout it.   If you can&#039;t contribute to the conversation constructively, then it&#039;s my opinion that your voice should be removed.   And before you shout out &#039;freedom of speech&#039;, let me remind you of two things.

1)  This board is not run by city, state or federal government, so it&#039;s not subjected to &#039;free speech&#039;.

2)  At least you can post if you drop the &#039;liberal kooks&#039; bull.   Be thankful we&#039;re not Redstate or Free Republic in our mindset -- you&#039;d have been banned within a second of saying, &quot;Is what Rush did so bad?  Aren&#039;t you hypocrits for opposing MoveOn&#039;s condemnation and supporting Rush&#039;s?&quot;    

To everyone.    If you haven&#039;t flagged Bigfoot&#039;s spammed post, then you should.  Enough voices raised against this tactic will force him to either abandon it or lose his voice.    Thanks.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s been said before here, but I think Greg Sargent got it wrong. Limbaugh&#039;s original &quot;phone soldiers&quot; comment came on Wednesday, which the AP quoted in the story. After the Democratic criticisms, the AP quoted the transcript from Limbaugh the following day, Thursday, in which he attempted to provide an excuse. I don&#039;t think the AP was favoring one side or the other. It seemed like a fair story to me.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Comment by O. Bigfoot â€” September 30, 2007 @ 9:33 am&lt;/em&gt;

For two days, on multiple threads, I asked you and all your Right-wing ass kissing buddies to debate the issues raised in the MoveOn ad and why they were incorrect to question those issues.

For two days I posted the other definitions of the word &quot;betray&quot; which had nothing to do with treason and everything to do with the reasoning behind MoveOn&#039;s ad.  Again...no response.

The debate should be why the issues are right or wrong.  But it is a hell of a lot easier, and involves a hell of a lot less thought, to simply label the ad as a smear job.</description>

		<description>The bottom line is this: no one on the Right, from members of Congress to the Bush ass-kissers who lurk here on TP, want to debate the issues raised in the MoveOn ad.  What do they do instead?  Follow the Rightwing talking point that the ad smears Patraeus and accuses him of treason.  They would have you believe that there is only one, true, definition of &quot;betray&quot; and that is not correct.  On several threads I have posted the other definitions of &quot;betray&quot; and I have asked multiple times for the Righties to discuss the issues raised in the ad and debate why they are wrong, and why we are wrong to question them. 

Result?

No takers.  They aren&#039;t interested in debating the issues raised in the ad, because they can&#039;t. 

Success for the surge involved two conditions being met: reduce the violence, especially in Baghdad, which would allow progress in political reconciliation.  The latter has not happened, thus the surge has not worked.  Violence was reduced in the al Anbar province, but as has been pointed out, violence was on a downward trend before the surge began.  Yet as with the government conveniently deciding to not count certain causes of death in order to make the death toll look lower, the administration recently decided to no longer focus on political reconciliation, both to make the surge appear successful.</description>

You have got to be kidding me. Cold, calculated fascist police state controlled media, I think is what you meant to say. Disinformation for the masses. The big lie. Corporate control of the message.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Jeez, the trolls must really be incestuous. On the Boehner/Boner thread, many of Michaelâ€™s posts get â€œrecommends,â€ and here Tracy1â€™s and nary-John Kerry also get them. Poor little trolls must protect their own, I guess.

They will abuse any system you give them, whether it&#039;s a blog, an election process, the economy or congress.  Republicans believe that stealing, or taking anything they want is justified because the &#039;want&#039; to be moral - who cares if they actually are moral!</description>

		<description>Itâ€™s easy. All you need is more than one e-mail address. With all the free e-mail services out there, this is a slam dunk. I have a domain name. I can have up to 99 e-mail addresses. That means I can have 99 monikers on Think Progress. Unless they base their registration system on the IP address of the registrant, they really are not going to solve the problem. Bigfoot can be Tracy easy as pie.

An IP-based address system isn&#039;t foolproof, either--particularly, if a poster has access to more than one computer.  I myself have access to four, but I obviously don&#039;t use them to troll.  Also, IP numbers sometimes change.</description>

		<description>Jeez, the trolls must really be incestuous.  On the Boehner/Boner thread, many of Michael&#039;s posts get &quot;recommends,&quot; and here Tracy1&#039;s and nary-John Kerry also get them.  Poor little trolls must protect their own, I guess.</description>

		<description>This spin that Limbaugh was referencing a show from two days earlier is laughable. 

Should Limbaugh make another gaffe like this one, the apologists will take something, anything Limbaugh said &lt;i&gt;at some point in his life&lt;/i&gt; and argue that Limbaugh was making a reference to that one show. This argument is nothing short of ridiculous.

Oh, and Tracy, you have the gall to talk about liars, when you lie about simple, easily verifiable facts. Don&#039;t make me dig up your post from just a day ago, you know, the one where you claimed Bartlebee asked &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; where you worked, when he didn&#039;t.</description>
