		<description>I cannot imagine something like this during Saddam’s press conferences, and, eventually, it is rather a hooligan’s frustration over a sharp difference between exercising a freedom of speech the Westerns customarily used to and the practical outcomes if any, from such Western-style media sources exercising (see for instance, &lt;em&gt;M. Kerjman &lt;/em&gt;blog &lt;em&gt;The Age &lt;/em&gt;story of Iraqi migrants in Australia):

The vast sampling of comments here are EXACTLY why people “question the patriotism” of wacko leftist haters. And if you don’t understand why, or think it outrageously unfair… you really don’t understand this country or it’s history and traditoins at all.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It appears to be YOU who do not understand American history or tradition! American history and tradition is one of continual victory of progressive ideals over entrenched radical right-wing fear of progress and just about everything else. This country was created and made great by those you choose to call &quot;wacko leftest haters&quot; fighting every inch of the way against the fearful scared little right-wingers.</description>

		<description>So, Tim, you had neither the last word nor the best.

You want examples of &quot;foul-mouthed louts&quot;?  How about when Bush called a NYTimes reporter &quot;a major-league @sshole&quot; and Cheney agreed?  Or when Cheney told Sen. Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor, &quot;Go fu(k yourself&quot;?</description>

		<description>I say &quot;commy liberal hater&quot; must be Mr Pee/Trajan.

Tim, every time you say how important facts are, yet every time you disregard mine and never present one single one yourself.

Your brother-in-law said Bush handled himself well----well that is an excellently well-research social science study if ever I read one. [snark]

You never responded to this the other day that was specifically directed to you:

From Wikipedia:
&quot;The U.S. has long maintained its involvement there is with the support of the Iraqi people, but in 2005 when asked directly, 82–87% of the Iraqi populace was opposed to U.S. occupation and wanted U.S. troops to leave. 47% of Iraqis supported attacking U.S. troops.[360] Another poll conducted on September 27, 2006, found that seven out of ten Iraqis want U.S.-led forces to withdraw from Iraq within one year. Overall, 78% of those polled said they believed that the presence of U.S. forces is &quot;provoking more conflict than it&#039;s preventing.&quot; 53% of those polled believed the Iraqi government would be strengthened if U.S. forces left Iraq (versus 23% who believed it would be weakened), and 71% wanted this to happen in 1 year or less. All of these positions were more prevalent amongst Sunni and Shia respondents than among Kurds. &lt;strong&gt;61% of respondents said that they approve of attacks on U.S.-led forces&lt;/strong&gt;, while 94% still had an unfavorable opinion of al-Qaeda.[361]

A March 7, 2007 survey of more than 2,000 Iraqis found that 78% of the population opposed the presence of Coalition forces in Iraq, that 69% believed the presence of U.S. forces is making things worse, and that &lt;strong&gt;51% of the population considered attacks on coalition forces acceptable&lt;/strong&gt;, up from 17% in 2004 and 35% in 2006. In addition:[362]

64% described their family&#039;s economic situation as being somewhat or very bad, up from 30% in 2005. 
88% described the availability of electricity as being either somewhat or very bad, up from 65% in 2004. 
69% described the availability of clean water as somewhat or very bad, up from 48% in 2004. 
88% described the availability of fuel for cooking and driving as being somewhat or very bad. 
58% described reconstruction efforts in the area in which they live as either somewhat or very ineffective, and 9% described them as being totally nonexistent. 
A 2007 survey for the first time asked ordinary Iraqis their view on the highly contentious draft oil law. According to the poll, 76 percent of Iraqis feel inadequately informed about the contents of the proposed law. Nonetheless, 63 percent responded that they would prefer Iraqi state-owned companies – and not foreign corporations – to develop Iraq’s extensive oil fields.</description>

		<description>This is the LAST WORD (and the best) on this topic:

My brother in law, who is a true progressive and about as liberal as they come, COMPLIMENTED the President over his handling of the shoe incident.

Trust me, he is no fan of the President so I was quite pleased to hear what he said.

What this means is that all the REST of you in the so-called &quot;reality based&quot; existence or whatever you call it, are just a bunch of foul-mouthed louts.  &quot;Progressives&quot;, ha!</description>
