PING

[niteowl77]

The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country.

It reads well, but I'd love to actually hear it delivered in good, native English.

[jocon307]

Yay! Forsyeth, thank heaven's they actually published it.

Now let's all go to Amazon.com and buy some of his books. They're quite good anyway, so it won't be a charity action.

F*ck the left, freedom will prevail!

[Democratshavenobrains]

Mickey must be a moderator at Democrat Underground.

[Cicero]

I wonder if Professor Jack Scarisbrick is J. J. Scarisbrick? If so, he's written some wonderful books on the late middle ages and early Renaissance in England, most notably "The English Reformation." I found his work very useful in my last book.

He would be likely to write such a sensible letter, I think.

[sam_paine]

I wonder, though, if this really is a good cross section.... Or if they intentionally included only letters from the IRRATIONAL left, and the THOUGHTFUL right?

To a letter, the critical letters are immature and petty, and the positive ones are thoughtful and logical.

Is it true that Leftists are from Mars, and Rightists are from Earth?

[jocon307]

"I would have voted for you, George."

Oh yay, George Bush, Builder, too!

You know, the Guardian is AWFUL most of the time, but I have this iron-clad rule about judging a publication by the letters to the editor it prints. These are not all bad at all. The Bush the Builder letter is truly charming. I have to give the Guardian a "tip o' the hat" for these. I think they have probably chosen the best letters received for publication, and certainly printed several in strong disagreement to their own views.

Try finding that in the NY Times.

Buncha angry poets bump!

[Publius6961]

I don't want to grow up in a country which is so influenced by you and your policies.
Mickey (12)

Should we introduce Mickey to the other 12-year-olds over at DU?

[eddie willers]

Frederick Forsyth

I'll read his books.....again.

Human rights lawyer

Where have you been? Time to stop admiring yourself in the mirror and get your butt over to Islam-o-land.

For about 1400 years, they haven't had a clue what "human rights" are...

[Democratshavenobrains]

Notice how the most vicious letter are from those with Muslum names. Its hilarious to hear these guys say Bush cheated in the election when these people haven't ever had a fair one in their native lands.

[The Iguana]

The single nice thing about Pinter is that he can spew his bile in very few words.

[ozzymandus]

Actually, the anti-Bush ones were pretty amusing, as they revealed the basic stupidity of the writers. The 12-year old was about as intelligent as the "playwright".

[Morgan's Raider]

Is it true that Leftists are from Mars, and Rightists are from Earth?

Nope, I believe leftists are from Uranus...

[BabsC]

or the idiot socialist:

I've been away on sabbatical to research and write my new book, Wotchoo Lookin' At: The Authorised Biography of Sir Nicholas Serota (Faber, £35)

(translation, while some hard working chump paid for my vacation to write a totally ridiculous book)

and I arrive back in Blairland to find that for these past three years my son Marley has been lying on the green sofa in the basement in his Reeboks watching Eminem on MTV eating Big Macs, drinking Coke and surfing the internet for anything with Britney Spears on it.

(Translation, since I have not done the responsible thing and raised my own child and obviously someone has been providing him with money I have a typical unsupervised kid)

What do all these have in common? Right first time, Georgie, baby. Country of origin: US of A.

(Translation, my country no longer originates things as we are all on sabbatical)

What do you plan to do about it, then?(Translation, I've ignored my accountability all this time I'm not about to start now)

Frankly, we in this country have been living under the American jackboot for far too long.(Translation, still ignoring individual accountability)

[Democratshavenobrains]

The weird thing is that almost all these Britons, even the ones on our side, seem to have so much sympathy for the Palestinians. Don't they understand that there is no hope for any Palestinian state as long as they allow themselves to be led by a corrupt, suicide bomb endorsing leader like Arafat?

[BabsC]

Historically there never has been and never should be a "Palestinian State"

Read Joan Peter's "From Time Immamorial".

The Arabs got 97% of the land designated in the Balfour Mandate for a Jewish homeland and it was called TransJordan.

Then an Arab friend of Hitler was put in charge of Jewish immigration to the "homeland" during the time of the death camps.

Did you know that Jews have been buying land in the region since the 1800's?

Did you know that it is a death sentence in "Palestine" for an Arab to sell his land to a Jew?

[Alouette]

Should we introduce Mickey to the other 12-year-olds over at DU?

That's his IQ, not his age.
