Many of the progressive posters on the TP site threatened to leave permanently if the “troll problem” was not addressed.

Now, the trolls are back, focusing on themselves, repeating and defending the lies and distortions of “conservative”national figures, and distracting from the topic.

In this case, the topic is Media Putz Kristol’s warmongering on Iran, and ignorant, spurious claims that we are “winning in Iraq.” And the trolls have come in force to repeat Kristol’s lies and distortions. The so-called “viewpoints” of the trolls are merely regurgitation of Kristol’s lies and distortions.

When trolls come in under the guise of having a “discussion” and then DEFEND Kristol’s undefined, spurious, BS, the trolls get called on it.

It is natural to want TP to remove the BS-enabling trolls from the site to clear the threads of troll dung. I contend that this is the reason that TP added the “Report Abuse” Icon, so that the trolls can be removed.

I plan to continue to use the tools that TP offers us, with no regrets and no guilt.

And that is only just talking about IRAQ. You could more than double everything for the action he is advocating against IRAN.

If someone hated Hitler in 1940, would you criticize them for “hating someone because their personal beliefs were different”? Iran has not killed one million people. WE have.

Then I wonder where the intelligence came from that resulted in Powell and Rice, pre-9/11, declaring Iraq a non-threat?

What’s next: 2 + 2 = 5?

Yeah, it’s all Clinton’s fault. Because Bush’s cabinet are such incompetent hacks, they couldn’t double-check that information themselves.

Care to give me one of your “personal responsibility” inane speeches?

Ah the troll hates someone’s OPINION, but HIS opinions are sacrosanct.

He does his troll-thing well, but he is a detriment to the TP site and needs to be removed.

Naturally, BigOFoot-in-Mouth didn’t record the rest of my post, so I will:

Of course, there is no solid evidence of any of the mumbo-jumbo you tried to pass as reality.

Of course there is no solid evidence. BigOFoot-in-Mouth is a TROLL. He doesn’t NEED evidence. His purpose in here is to oppose anything that does not fit with the “conservative” agenda and to distract everyone in here to focus on HIM, in order to distract us from having a REAL discussion of the issues raised in the topic.

The topic for this thread is a PERFECT example. The topic is Media Putz William Kristol’s assertions that “Iran Is ‘The Only Real Threat’ To Success In Iraq.” Because he is a Media Putz (http://mediaputz.com/07/07/putz0719.html), Kristol NEVER explains what he means by “success.” And, to add to his Putziness, he NEVER provides evidence for his assertions that, “We’re winning in Iraq.”

And then, BigOFoot-in-Mouth proves my point. Before, he presented his crap, as his Media Putz GOD always does, as FACT. Now it is just an opinion. I told you progressives to watch him act troll-like. And the idiot did it ON CUE!

He does his troll-thing well, but he is a detriment to the TP site and needs to be removed.

O.K., time is up for the miserably little troll. He has simply REPEATED Media Putz Kristol’s EXACT word – SUCCESS.

What does Kristol mean by SUCCESS? Little troll “jdc” can’t DEFINE it, because if he did, then the whiny little troll would be obligated to SHOW us ANYTHING from our current miserable situation in Iraq that would indicate that we can EVER achieve it.

He CAN”T and he WON’T because that isn’t his purpose here. He has come in here to REPEAT Kristol’s spurious assertions and create as much TURMOIL as he can, drawing as much attention to HIMSELF as he can. In that, he is just like his GOD, Kristol, the Media Putz.

UNDER THE BRIDGE, WHINY, NASTY TROLL!

Yes, none. it’s really a shame that the Democrats haven’t savaged the Repukes completely and gotten our troops home. jdc can continue to cheer the deaths of American troops as long as his antiAmerican values will let him; in the meantime, Bush and his cabal make billions in illegal profits, rape the treasury, and engage in mass murder and genocide, all the while being cheered on by the most pathetic of all americans, the rabid, brainless, bloodthirsty right wing. America’s downfall is happening infront ofour eyes, led by the GOP and bolstered by the ignorant, fearful cowards of the right. it won’t be reversed until progressives gain a strong foothold, otherwise, it’s over for democracy and freedom in the USA.

Oh, so now it’s Iran’s fault we can’t win the “war” in Iraq?

150,000 troops fighting maybe 3,000 “terrorists” (the rest are insurgents, per McClatchy) for 5 years and we STILL cannot win?

Why do you think the majority (insurgents) are fighting us? Oh, could it be that they don’t want us there, just as you wouldn’t want Russia here if they invaded?

You talk about Iran meddling in Iraq’s interests. What about the U.S. meddling in Iraq’s interests, playing global police (something candidate Bush said the U.S. didn’t need to be doing…and don’t give me the 9/11 changed everything b.s.) in a country that was no threat to us?

Of course there is no solid evidence. BigOFoot-in-Mouth is a TROLL. He doesn’t NEED evidence. His purpose in here is to oppose anything that does not fit with the “conservative” agenda and to distract everyone in here to focus on HIM, in order to distract us from having a REAL discussion of the issues raised in the topic.

EVERYTHING the BigOFoot-in-Mouth troll brings to this thread is done to SUPPORT Kristol’s spurious assertions. If he is brought to account for his lack of evidence, he will do something troll-like. Watch him. He does his troll-thing well, but he is a detriment to the TP site and needs to be removed.

Reporting him for abuse is the ONLY way to stop him. So, I’m asking you, Gregor, to report him. Thanks.

Of course, there is no solid evidence of any of the mumbo-jumbo you tried to pass as reality.

And whatever little evidence there is (munitions that were maybe manufactured in Iran, or confessions obtained through “interrogations”), it is simply not enough to tie the Iranian government to the violence in Iraq. Some of the evidence is even disputed by the Iraqis themselves. It is far more likely that all this is propaganda being “catapulted” by the Bush administration, and that the situation in Iraq would be the same, with or without Iranian involvement.

Let’s not forget, this “intelligence” on supposed Iranian involvement in Iraq is brought to you by the same administration that gave you the non-existing Iraqi WMD, and the also non-existing Nigerian yellowcake.

Not to mention that the reason why American troops are dying over there is that they are over there in the first place, due to Pres Bush’s pigheaded decision to prolong the occupation of Iraq.
