Columnist compares peace summit to ‘gang rape.’
Writing in the Washington Times this morning, conservative columnist Frank Gaffney compares the Middle East peace conference being held in Annapolis, MD today to “a gang-rape” because of the inclusion of Saudi Arabia and Syria in the talks. According to Gaffney, holding the conference is equivalent to appeasing Hitler in the 1930s:
Despite official efforts to low-ball its significance, Miss Rice’s conclave is shaping up to be a gang-rape of a nation on a scale not seen since Munich in 1938, when the British and French allowed Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini to have their violent way with Czechoslovakia.

Gaffney is a neo - warmonger.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:13 amI meant to say Gaffney is a neo - con warmonger .
November 27th, 2007 at 10:15 amDang. Those wingnuts love them some Hitler metaphors, don't they?
November 27th, 2007 at 10:15 amGaffney is ALWAYS dreaming a gang rape.
He would settle for a little BJ.
The more I read about this shit..the more I dislike Israel.

November 27th, 2007 at 10:16 amJust tell Mr. Gaffney to cool his jets. The whole charade is designed so nothing will get done.
Think of the whole exercise as softcore hard porn for the political world. Lots of oohing and ahhing, but nothing actually happening. Hell, the Sauds don't even want to shake the hand of an Isreali. How is anyone suppose to rape someone if they won't even touch them. LMAO. And such nice and hospitable friends our President keeps.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:16 amAnyone else getting tired of every diplomatic effort in the Middle East being compared to Munich 1938?
And if diplomatic talks with Israel's neighbors are gang rape, what does gaffney consider the systematic expulsion of Palestinians from their villages in 1948 and the illegal seizure of their territory in 1967? Pre-vigilante justice?
November 27th, 2007 at 10:17 amyes, #5, it's all bald-faced hooey... anyone who thinks that anything substantive will come out of annapolis is smoking some very strong stuff...
And, yes, I DO take it personally
November 27th, 2007 at 10:17 amYou know, I have yet to hear of a successful round of peace talks, where the other side hasn't been invited.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:17 amGaffney should bet 90 lashes. Maybe 200.

If you're an arms manufacturer, that's a very successful round of peace talks.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:20 amToasterhead: Heads up! You nailed it again!
November 27th, 2007 at 10:22 amHow is it possible that no one has shot this Neocon anus yet?
November 27th, 2007 at 10:22 amWHAT loosers....THEY all should leave now....
It's time to start a movement to have ALL the wingnuts DEPORTED! Let's send them to build the bush compound in south america that the twins bought on their last trip and NEVER let them back in!! Talk about closing the boarders to radicals!
November 27th, 2007 at 10:22 amThis "peace talk PR stunt" is Bush's last-ditch effort to salvage his legacy from the cesspool.

Well put.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:22 amIndeed, this is a case of the "enemy within" being far more destructive than the "enemy outside". We now KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt precisely whom these individuals are and the people will rout them out regardless of where they hide in exile.
Why do you think there's a mass exodus from this administration and Congress? They see the handwriting on the wall. It won't be long before a class action by the people, for the people, and of the people will begin to name and finger all of the "criminals within". It's coming.

This entire post reminds me of Munich in 1938.
As long as the peace talks don't result in the other Middle Eastern countries splitting up and absorbing Israel, I fail to see the link to what happened to Czechoslovakia.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:25 amAnd, we know who they are - PNAC, AIPAC, Federalists and bona fide Bushwipes. The people will never forget what they've done to our democracy and will hold them accountable and responsible for "crimes against humanity, treason, and war crimes" until each of them completes his natural life.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:25 amThey may believe that by leaving the limelight they'll become immune - not so. The People will rout them out of their dens and hiding places and not rest until we see them brought to the justice they deserve - in a jumpsuit and sitting in prison for life.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:26 amI love the smell of misogyny in the morning.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:27 amwhat the hell is wrong with these people?
November 27th, 2007 at 10:29 amI find it extremely distasteful to engage in casual use of the word 'rape' unless used purposefully to identify the actual action. Its misuse is the mark of an uneducated thug.
See: 'gay.'
November 27th, 2007 at 10:30 amJust like most of the conferences at the American Enterprise Institute are some sort of grotesque neo-con bukakke.

November 27th, 2007 at 10:30 amSo is Gaffney comparing Bush and Condi to Hitler? If so, when will the howls of protest begin?
-GSD
November 27th, 2007 at 10:32 amBut... wait... I thought the Saudis were our friends???

Ooog. I had to look that one up. Nasty boy!
November 27th, 2007 at 10:36 amI suggest the event is more likened to a circle jerk with Condi the pivot man.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:37 amAh yes, poor poor Israel... All those mean ole countries ganging up on her!
Whatever...
November 27th, 2007 at 10:48 amI think you are all missing the point. The one getting gang raped here is Palestine.

Both full of crap.
November 27th, 2007 at 11:01 amconsidering Saudi Arabia is there, the term "gang rape" seems somehow appropriate...
November 27th, 2007 at 11:02 amThen why doesn't this columnist speak out against all the crap that has been coming out of Saudi Arabia, and why we continue to play kissy face with them?
November 27th, 2007 at 11:03 amCrikey. With a foreign policy that seems to consist of only three words: KILL THEM ALL - these people are beyond scary.
November 27th, 2007 at 11:14 amThis "peace-summit" is actually a rape of the American people by this Bushit administration, trying to give us the impression that Bush is doing something valuable & significant.
It will be a complete disaster, making things still worse for our country. This idiot cannot speak, much less speak to people who he has conflict with.
Well..., may be he can speak good with the Saudis... because he has some interests in common with them - oil and $.
November 27th, 2007 at 11:17 amyou can bet frank was beating off as he wrote that column.
November 27th, 2007 at 11:53 am" when the British and French allowed Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini to have their violent way with Czechoslovakia."
Replace Hitler with Bush and Mussolini with Blair and replace Czech with Iraq. Blammo!
Rod Serling where are you when we need you?
November 27th, 2007 at 1:05 pmThis crowd represented by Mr. Gaffney always portrays itself as victicms, when in fact they are the ones victimizing others.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:06 pmTHE PALESTININAN PEOPLE HAD A DEMOCRATIC ELECTED GOVERNMENT THAT ISRAEL AND US IGNORED. ACTUALLY THE ELECTIONS THAT TOOK PLACE IN PALESTINA WERE MORE TRANSPARANT THAN ANY US ELECTION! THEY PUNISHED THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE FOR HAVING VOTED THR "WRONG WAY". THE US AND ISRAEL CRIMINALS DID NOT ENGAGED THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE POLITICAL ARENA. THUS DEMONIZING HAMAS ONCE MORE. ISRAEL REFUSE HAMAS CEASE FIRE DEAL AND CONTINUE THE CRIMINAL EXTENTION OF ITS TERRITOTY INTO PALESTINIAN LAND. ISRAEL HAS IGNORED COUNTLESS UN RESOLUTIONS AND POSSESSES NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:34 pmTHIS IS A PICTURE OF OCCUPYERS PRETENDING THAT THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR THE CONFLICT ISRAEL/PALESTINA. ISRAEL HAS TO LEAVE THE OCCUPYING TERRITORIES. THEY ARE THE AGRESSORS, THE TERRORISTS AND INVADERS.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:38 pmIF MEXICO DID TO THE US WHAT ISRAEL IS DOING TO THE PALESTININANS, THE HYPOCRISY OF US/ISRAEL WOULD BE EXPOSED!
November 27th, 2007 at 1:39 pmCONDI RICE SHOULD BE HANGED FOR WAR CRIMES! JUST AFTER BUSH, CHENNEY, PERLE, WOLFOWITZ, AND THE REST OF THEIR JUNTA.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:41 pmYou got to hand it Gaffney. With the obvious exception of his fellow neocons , he is an equal opportunity hater of everyone and everything.

not only that, but they blame the real victims for playing the "victim game" while doing the very same thing they condemn...
