I've been reading your postings here at ATR. I didn't believe it before, but now you've confirmed it. You loony lefty losers really don't have a clue, do you?

Just because, on extremely rare occasions, an evil man like Saddam said something that happened to be true does not justify the connections you draw. They are a product of YOUR mind, which says a lot.

loony lefty losers

Isn't the term of art "loony lefty lapdog lascivious losers"?

Greg -

Do you know what a 'straw man' is? --it is when someone pretends to refute someone by pretending they said something they did not.

This is what you are doing. You are not attacking what Jon posted, but something in your own head.

Jon's post is about how both Saddam and Bush have falsely pretended to care about the people in Lebanon. Recently 750,000 people in that country have been made homeless, and much of its infrastructure destroyed. Do you remember that?

Is it possible you missed that the post is about the crocodile tears of politicians because you cant imagine caring about the fate of others? (and thus it didn't occur to you that people might?)

you called people 'loony lefty losers', without first being attacked yourself. I am guessing that it is because you feel under seige. But are you under seige? Isn't it the people of Lebanon that are?

Remember, Bush is not the USA. Thus there is no need for you to get anxious when he is criticized.

We all collectively should demand more sincerity from our politicians. You should not yourself feel threatened by this.

It's a little more complex than this, I think. People like Greg generally have the sense, roiling around in their unconscious, that Bush is their father.

Heh, that Greg fellow writes almost as good as my man Saddam -

Greg,

Aren't you a raunchy righty reprobate? Just asking.

I was really trying to get thru to this guy. No matter how much of an ass*** he is, since we are all in this together.

I think we have reassure the Gregs of the country over and over again that if Bush and his gang of thugs goes down, they will not.

It shouldn't be like this, of course. We should not have to spend time reassuring a bunch of arrogant warmongers in any way. Lord knows they don't deserve anything from us. But we have to, nonetheless.

This -I think- is especially important if US military starts faring worse in Iraq over the next couple of years. This may seem unlikely now, but if this happens every goddamn liberal will have to suck it up and tell a lot of the right-wingers -in effect- *everything is going to be OK*.

Which it will be, for them. Even if they don't deserve it.

Henry is right, we are ALL in this boat together, and we are ALL begining to feel the Captain's lash.
Greg.
I believe Saddam was still OUR DOG in 1989.

Johnathan,

Looks like you hit a nerve. Keep up the good work. Your choices of material directly undercuts the right wing narrative. Worse for the right, your snippets actually show by example who really is more closely aligned to the dictatorial villians used for the half-hour of hate that keeps the right wing movement coherent.

Confronting the programmed with such digestable examples is the necessary beginning to waking them up.
