Do you still think “accountant” and “accountability” mean the same thing just because they are spelled similarly? Or do you still think you’re more intellEgent than us? hahahahaha. Feebs like you are the ones who equate Iraq and Iran because they are spelled almost the same.

Statements like yours are perfect examples of the white trash trailer park ignorance that makes up the republican base. Yeah, that Mohammed Ali feller, he’s the same feller as that Ali Mohammed feller. Actually, Ali Mohammed is one shady @ss Arab that worked for both us and Bin Laden.
Do you deny his existence? He was a member of the United State military, look him up. And since he’s arab, you shouldnt have a hard time believing he engaged in conspiracies… of course you’re willing to believe any kooky conspiracy theories if they involve arabs working on devious plots with Al-queda, right?

Because god knows those evil plotting arabs are capeable of all sorts of dastardly things, but we know that white people with immense power would never ever stoop to engage in criminal conspiracies.. only the mafia and arabs do that, fight Bigfwat?

Oh, and Tampon Don, lets, for a moment, assume everything you stated in your “opinion journal” cite is true. A) It admittted there was no evidence Berger took any originals and B) it admitted that YOUR prescious Justice Department didnt give Berger a lie detector test to see if his claim was true. If it was so important, as important as you make it out to be, why didnt YOUR justice department even waste the time giving him a simple lie detector test, the type they administer almost daily for a variety of reasons less important than the security of national archives?

They have to, being a bunch of whiney, draft-dodging communists.

bullshit, all the way.

So true. The tools they use are predictable and consistent. When the right side bloggers appear uninformed and write something having no basis in fact, progressives jump in and “correct” the blogger. But the right side blogger already knows what they write is nonsense – and that begins the circle. We correct them and they come back with something a little bit more off topic, but still wrong. We correct them again, and they come back with still more rubbish. After a few iterations of this, we are side tracked into the new argument.

If we believe we can change the thinking of those who want good and accurate information by reading blogs, then we must help them understand the devices the right side uses. If they understand the devices, they will be able to spot them a mile away. Nobody likes to be lied to. Nobody likes to be played for a fool. We tell the truth and provide links to support our words.That is our strength and our obligation.

I think I will start reporting as abusers any troll who uses the “but Clinton!” form of attack on any thread. This has proven to be a very effective method of hijacking the thread and turning us all into Clinton defenders instead of discussing the thread topic.

I will also start reporting as abusers any troll who attempts to post anything about the approval rating of “the Democrat controlled Congress” on any thread about Bush’s approval rating, since the two cannot be compared and we have said this many, many times. (BTW — do we really need threads about Bush’s approval rating? We all know it’s in the toilet. It’s really no longer news).

These are just two of the hijacking tools trolls use. And I’m weary of these tactics.

And just as a nod to the topic of the thread — I’m glad that Americans are finally waking up and paying attention to what’s going on. Six years ago, we lapped up everything the media fed to us without question. So who knows how long Philbin and his ilk have been operating like this?

well, we knew you were terminally stupid. thanks for adding unpatriotic and antiAmerican to the list, all on your own. And, please, write bush in. Everybody needs a good laugh after the deserter’s Disaster in The Desert.

Please report the trolls; don’t feed them. Thanks.

Patrick Philbin does.

Did the troll dung distract the progressive posters from the topic? Report ‘em, shine the light on who they are trolling for, and move on! [Too bad this isn't a BetrayUS thread. {:-) - Off topic, sorry]

Patrick and John “Pat” Philbin. Relation?

And Regis Philbin, while you’re at it. He certainly looks the part.

I’m sure TCDon’s apology will be forthcoming…

Comment by Arn Gunnutes

Thanks…I am getting my information straight for the horses mouth. The mis-information campaign is a huge effort by the administration. Everybody is involved in either de-railing the topics altogether or steering them toward topics favorable to Bush.

Comment by republicans hate facts

Absolutely…They waste my time, plus I am curious as to who they really are.

Comment by TCDon — October 29, 2007 @ 4:50 pm

No I am in fact Jewish. And we don’t need you rapture righty reichwing nuts crying antisemitism. We have enough problem with the Zionist nutbags like Lieberman and Kristol.

Dumbass trolls mixing apples and oranges and can’t tell the difference. Federal law says that all communications from White House employees have to be archived. The papers Berger copied were archived, that’s where he got them. And he had security clearance to see them, that’s how he got them. He should not have taken copies from the building and he he was punished for doing so. Still waiting for the Contempt of Congress charges to fall on you’re people like Gonzales and Meiers for not answering questions asked by Congress. And for Rove to end up in jail for the missing emails. That will be a glorious day in the country.

And the brains of our current shrub, I mean president.
