Another example of idiocy demonstrated by supposed leaders in our country. Even after 6 yrs of daily reminders that the invasion and occupation of a foreign country was the biggest strategic blunder in our history. These morons continue to brag about it. Arizona should be proud.

Cole Sear: I see stupid people.

Malcolm Crowe: In your dreams?
[Cole shakes his head no]

Malcolm Crowe: While you’re awake?
[Cole nods]

Malcolm Crowe: stupid people like, in Washington? On TV?

Cole Sear: Walking around like regular people. They don’t see people different than them. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re stupid.

Malcolm Crowe: How often do you see them?

Cole Sear: All the time. They’re everywhere. All over the south and the wid west, and cable TV. They all have (R) before their names.

This clown is so f**kin’ stupid he probably has an aide whose sole responsibility is to follow him around all day and say, “breathe in, breathe out.”

Kyl may not care what Europe thinks but I believe that they were right on Iraq and they are right on Guantanamo. Besides does anyone really care what this clown thinks or the GOP in general. They won’t admit any wrong doing over the last 8 years and they still believe that they are in power.

That’s a pretty pricey, legal clusterphuck of a symbol. But it’s not a “symbol”—it’s one of the many symptoms of the mess made and left by a lawless administration. If he wants to keep that as a “symbol” it is only because the Republican party apparently has a death wish.

You know, the fact that some European leader — first of all, they didn’t like the fact that we invaded Iraq

Kyl you IDIOT they were right about that TOO.

Oh, and senator, why should the French take any of Guantanamo prisoners? They warned the US of invading Iraq, of setting up Guantanamo… Doesn’t the US bear responsibility of establishing the guilt of its prisoners in the “war” on terror? Are you saying that if they are convicted in a court of law, their sentence should be carried out in foreign countries?

Senator, you’re not making any sense. If this is your level of competency, you should resign. And if you’re playing politics with this matter… you should also resign and hang your head in shame!

its pretty asinine to say that “european nations suck” i would imagine that jimmy big bucks has never left our country.

I’m betting he has never even left his state. I’m also betting he is somewhere around 12 years old and is being home schooled.

I apologize for going off topic, but I just wanted to thank JimmyBB and all the TP trolls. The way you stubbornly slurp up every lie and bit of propaganda the wingers feed you and spit it back out at every opportunity has changed me from an interested but mostly passive liberal to a full-fledged activist.

And I had Fox News removed from the tvs at several local restaurants.

Welcome to our community of activists! As far as Fox on TV, I encourage everyone to speak up when you are somewhere out there and Fox is on the TV ask them to turn the channel. You will probably be told they can’t (most chains have live feeds from corporate headquarters) and in that case ask them to turn it off. I did this the other night at a local restaurant/pub. There weren’t many people in there and no one was watching the TV. I asked them to turn it to another station or turn it off. They turned it off. One wait person thanked me for asking them to do it. She said that the boss wants the TV turned to Fox but if they are asked, and no one objects, they were instructed to do what the patron wants (turn it off or turn the station). She told me that she gets so sick of hearing the yammering from Fox, she has been tempted to quit because of it.

We can make a difference if we speak up. We may not have the cajones to march in the street like the people in Iran, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speak up in public and let our opinions be known.

Is it just me or does Jimmy Big Butt sound like a four year yelling insults at his peers because no one wants to play with him?

“Who cares if Europe doesn’t like Guantanamo, they didn’t like it when we invaded Iraq?” What a STUPID think to say. We invaded Iraq based on LIES and it has completely screwed up our country financially. Guantanamo is screwing up our country in terms of international reputation. If you don’t think it’s important to have moral authority in the world, Sen. Kyl, then, sure, thumb your nose at Europe, which has been our ally for decades (not a very friendly gesture). But if you want to be No. 1, then act like a country that IS No. 1 because it cares about the rule of law. We have been acting like a stupid maverick of a country for far too long. Talk about Ugly America.
Postscript to Guido the Benevolent Torturer: thanks for throwing your weight around and getting your local restaurant to turn off Faux News. I started boycotting the local copy place that had Faux on constantly; I am pleased to report it closed awhile back (yippee!).

IMO, you can go off topic like that any time!!
Besides, as Wayne noted above, the limited number of weekend threads often become “open” for any subject.

“Terrorists have all kinds of reasons why they don’t like the United States.”
I could have sworn Kyl was referring to the GOP and the Christian Fundamentalist Terrorist movement (CFT) here in America?

“And if we’re going to, every time that they say something’s a recruiting tool, say “then we’ll stop doing that,” are we going to, you know, stop having voting in this country?”
Fixed News, Rush and O’Reilly et al are the current GOP “recruiting tools”?

“The culture that we have? Are we going to take away women’s rights?”
KKKyl has not heard of Pro-Choice?

“These (using McCainish terms here-remember “you people”) Islamists don’t like those things about us.”
I pray that KKKyl never advises on any foreign policy issues and for that matter the GOP shouldn’t either?

“So, are we going to change our way of life to take away a recruiting tool for them? I think not.”
This is why gun sales are up in red states”

KKKyl is HAZMAT and should be quarantine to a mental facility along with the rest of his soon-to-be extinct party of “No and Dummies.”

Kyl: Who cares if Europe doesn’t like Guantanamo, they didn’t like when we invaded Iraq either.

Kyl is like an inconsiderate slob who hasn’t bathed for a month, then walks into a room filled with thousands of people, and then begins to belch and fart until it’s nearly impossible to breathe in the room. And when people begin to complain about his behaviour, he turns to them and says, “Who cares what you think”.
