9) "Doesn't a part of you wish that Queasy and Duh-day were alive?

I'll admit they're scum and rightfully so, but anything that lands as even more humiliation on W's grotesque shrivelled face is that much the better.

It's sad, really, that as despicable as they are, Saddam's family seems to be the lesser of two evils when you compare them to the wretched little b*stard* occupying the White House and destroying America in the process..." -- thermodynamic

8) "I'm assuming (Michael Kelly's) family won't be reading this, but frankly, I'm gratified to learn that he paid the ultimate price for his sins of warmongering. This guy was scum. My first thoughts on seeing the thread were that I hoped it was that scum Post warmongering writer. My second thought was that it was a late April Fool's joke. But no false sadness from me, only happiness that someone as mean and vicious as Mike Kelly got what was coming. As for all the posts about "coming by his views honestly" and "not speaking ill of the dead", congratulations on taking the high road guys, but *ssholes like Kelly have to die sometime, and I prefer it is as a direct result of their sins. But what do I know, I'm happy that Reagan has Alzheimers and that * has access to pretzels. I wish death on my enemies, and these guys are enemies." -- jackswift on the death of Michael Kelly in Iraq (Excerpt)

6) "...We know the recall's about getting a Repub Gov. in office in order to make California easier to steal, or make the 2004 Election at least close ENOUGH to steal our precious Electoral votes. We know it has nothing to do with Gray Davis being crummy, really.

...I think Rove's got something particularly nasty up his sleeve this time that will change Arnold's fortunes dramatically. I mean, he's about to subject himself and Maria to more salient stories about what he calls "getting my helmet polished." This could be humiliating to him, even before he loses. But what if he "knew" the fix was in?

...My tinfoil hat theory is this:

ROVE/BUSH/CHENEY ARE GOING TO INSTIGATE SOME MIHOP (made it happen on purpose) TERROR ATTACK, BIO ATTACK IN THE US, MAYBE CALIFORNIA, WHEREBY CALIFORNIANS WILL BE CLAMORING FOR A "STRONG" GOVERNOR TO PROTECT US! THEY CAN FINISH THE JOB ENRON STARTED, AND GET A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR TO HAND THEM THE STATE IN 2004." -- CaptainMidnight (excerpt) 3) "When the 2nd plane hit the WTC I remember thinking......OMG, he's got his war now. Then, the next day or the day after that, when the roar of "war with Iraq and Afganistan" really got going I couldn't help but think "well Bush II get's to finish Daddy's work now". As for when the plane hit the Pentagon and the other plane went down in that field in Penn I screamed at the TV, "Get the WH, for God's sake you missed the WH." I invented some cuss words on that one. There were times before 9/11 as well as in the days to follow that the boy king mentioned Saddam "tried to kill my Dad" and couldn't help but scream at the TV each time, "Well, give him a medal for effort anyway." -- LiberalLibra

2) "What we MUST realize in order to win - Americans are stupid and uninformed. This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I'm afraid WE have nothing in common with them.

I came to the two following conclusions when I saw the large number of people who voted for Bush back in 2000.

#1 - I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise. We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve. WE are not the norm. The Republicans understand that the average American is not very bright. They cater and pander to the masses. The Democratic Party tries to appeal to the population about "issues" that these people just don't understand.

I've heard it said that the reason that Clinton's sex scandal resonated so strongly among "the people" was because it was a scandal that the average American understood. The average person can't understand a financial scandal.

In addition, people of average or lower intelligence tend to not be as logical or reasoned as those of higher intelligence - they deal with emotion. Therefore they are more likely to get riled up about someone burning a flag rather than a illogical tax cut.

#2 - The majority of people do not read the newspaper OR listen to the news, CNN, etc. Therefore -they get their news from the Tonight Show, Letterman, Oprah and Saturday Night Live. Or, they get their news from talking to their co-workers at the water cooler.

Also, for the few people who DO listen to the news - who do they hear it from? Fox News and Bill O'Reilly are the most popular. Most newspapers and media outlets are owned by Republicans.

THIS is what we are fighting against people. In order to win we will need to start pandering to the masses." -- Janekat

1) "I realize that not every GI Joe was 100peeercent behind Prseeedent Booosh going into this war; but I do know that that is what an overwhelming number of them and their famlies screamed in the face of protesters who were trying to protect these kids. Well, there is more than one way to be "dead" for your country. They are not only not accompishing squat in Iraq, they are doing crap nothing for the safety, defense of the US of A over there directly. But "indirectly" they are doing a lot.

The only way to get rid of this slime bag WASP-Mafia, oil barron ridden cartel of a government, this assault on Americans and anything one could laughingly call "a democracy", relies heavily on what a sh*t hole Iraq turns into. They need to die so that we can be free. Soldiers usually did that directly--i.e., fight those invading and harming a country. This time they need to die in defense of a lie from a lying adminstration to show these ignorant, dumb Americans that Bush is incompetent. They need to die so that Americans get rid of this deadly scum. It is obscene, Barbie Bush, how other sons (of much nobler blood) have to die to save us from your Rosemary's Baby spawn and his ungodly cohorts." -- Starpass

"I think that's the point....the nutjobs have become the mainstream of the party."

and that's not a bad thing, in fact, that's a good thing. The voters are not stupid, no matter how much the Dims wish them to be.

[Celtman]

Hey, OK has laws that punish schools for being below average.

[jetson]

REI sports outlet that sell all of the groovy sports equiptment and clothes to big butted out of shape Americans.

[jetson]

Yep..that's them allright! The shirt, hat and glasses are a give away. And people like this live in big expensive house's and have expensive cars but are earth first type people.

[jetson]

Listen to moron DJ's like Howard Stern

Oh, come on. For the most part, Howard is fairly conservative: he is a HUGE supporter of the Iraq war effort, and generally takes the Hollywood types that he often has as guests on his show to task for their anti-American, anti-Bush tirades.

I wouldn't know, every time I come across his station he is talking about bukaki queens or gas passing methods.

[mware]

A higher number means more activity?

I dont think so the site I use has Drudge at 328. I doubt that DU has more hits than Drudge does.

[scan58]

I agree. I am glad that the moderators deleted a FR thread today dancing for joy that three journalists were injured in a bombing of a restaurant in Baghdad today.

And therein lies the difference. For the most part, the posts going "over the top" here on FR get edited out. All the threats to the President and death-wishes for our troops seem to be encouraged at DU.

(Bending at waist, arms extended) You are most tolerant Great One.

Happy New Year to you and the family.

LOL...Great observation in your post #64 They are truly nuts... but to be a Liberal insanity is without a doubt a prerequisite.

[Dont Mention the War]

A higher number means more activity?

No. A higher number means less activity. When you say "My school's football team is number one!" you don't mean it's in last place.

[Ditter]

I saw Barbra Streishound speaking at Harvard. She gave a brilliantly thought out speech (for a liberal) & then came the question & answer period. When the students started asking her question about things she had said in the speech, she was SPEECHLESS. She hemmed & hawed & stammered & said UH more than hillary. She could not answer a *single* question. It was obvious she had *not* written the speech & was just acting. Some man, probably the writer of her speech, came forward & answered the students questions. It was a thoroughly embarrassing time for her & I laughed my a$$ off.

[Central_Floridian]

Worth repeating and considering

[Carthago delenda est]

We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Liberals are D-U-M, DUMB!!!
