From what I’ve gleaned, Maureen Dowd’s boyfriend left her and married Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The story as it relates to FR:

1. Early in the Clinton impeachment process, Miss Maureen started writing negative stuff about Der Schlickmeister.

2. The Clinton gang recruited Michael Douglas to help get Maureen's mind "right".

3. She responded by starting to defend De33r Schlickmeister.

4. Dougla and Dowd were an "item" for several months. Until Clinton was acquitted by the Senate.

5. Whereupon Douglas dropped Dowd like a used orange peel...and married Catherine Zeta-Jones.

6. As a sign of compassion for the jilted Maureen's unrequited love, a FReeper began appending photos of CZJ to every Maureen Dowd thread.

The practice lives on today, 13 years after the fact.

It is normal for all species to mistrust those that are not of their clan, brood, herd, pack, species (and so forth).

It is a normal adaptation that all species developed for self preservation.

Yes we humans are all prejudiced. It is just that most people can get over that fact. Those that can’t are Bigots.

I’m sick to death of the never ending taunts and sharp sticks in the eye from the left. Why don’t they just declare war on us and get this thing started already?

I’d prefer an honest bare knuckled fight to this endless schoolyard crap.

...if one is black and is “off the plantation” (ex. Allen West), there is a special wrath reserved for that person.

Tell me about it. My family thinks that I've been kidnapped by right-wingers and hypnotically programmed to be a 'race traitor'.

I'm a complete embarrassment to them now. They speak of me only in hushed tones of fear, anger, and sadness.

Actually, it's not quite that bad, but darn near. They still have a hard time with the fact that I voted for GWB twice(!), and chose Sarah Palin over Obama.

Michael Douglas dumped MoDo for Miss Jones.

Leading to an epic meltdown. It was great!

MoDo gradually spiraled out of control over a period of a few years and then went nuclear on her own family between Thanksgiving and Christmas two or three years ago -- and the NYT actually published it: published the rantings and ravings of an emotionally-distraught middle-aged woman as she went supernova on life, family, and most of all, her disappointed hopes in Michael Douglas, who went off and happily married the gorgeous and intelligent CZJ and never looked back.

Personally, I think the NYT editors' decision to go ahead and run with MoDo's explosion will be a case study in journo schools for some time to come.

It has been an FR "rule" ever since, that whosoever mentions Maureen Dowd in the forum, owes us a pic of the beauteous CZJ.

And that’s the point. Liberals use the accusation of racism as a cudgel to cow political opponents.

We will not be free as long as we care what names we are called. My response to being called a racist is to now say "OK. So?"

Because they know they would lose in a straight-up fight. That's why.

If you make somebody feel guilty enough, it's easier to get him to come along quietly to his execution.

In war, you do not fight the way your enemy wishes. That’s something we on the Right need to understand and practice.

Fewer and fewer Americans (of every political stripe) are falling into the guilt trap these days. People can only take being made wrong for things they have no causation over for so long. Like the race card, and the blame Bush card, the guilt card is being accepted at fewer and fewer places.

The left had better hope and pray that they never push us over the edge into a real fight. It would be over within a week, and their very existence would likely be outlawed.

Outlaw the left. What a comforting concept.

Absolutely right. Many years ago, I started responding that way, and then challenge the fool to discuss facts. That ends a lot of useless chatter and I don't really care how they wish to stereotype me anyway.

Absolutely. I pray for the day when the left is decisively vanquished.

The Right needs to understand that we're in a fight, and fight to win. They use our own tax money against us, with their agents being government employees, welfare recipients, recipients of government grants, and union people who depend on the government to secure their jobs and guarantee them well-above-market-wages.

Step one would be to deny the Left its funding and logistics. Cut their funding. Eliminate union privileges. Make them get real jobs.

Using this logic then every black person who voted for Obama did so because John McCain is white. Ergo all blacks are racist.
