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

My God.

[angkor]

Wow. Quite a few psychotics post on DU.

[Alberta's Child]

I can't believe the #1 Dumbest DU Quote of 2003 wasn't from a post this week in which someone speculated that the earthquake in Iran was caused by the large number of bombs used by the U.S. military in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I kid you not -- you can't make this sh!t up.

[FormerACLUmember]

Is it just me, or has the rat party become a collection of psychotic demogogues?

It isn't just Oliver Stone anymore. Seven of the nine 9 dwarfs tout the most DUH bizarre theories.

[July 4th]

All of these quotes are quite scary, but I found this one particularly ironic.

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

[TheGeezer]

Nothing like being antiAmerican.

[Guillermo]

No, those are about the norm over there.

[speedy]

If this is representative of the opposition, we have nothing to worry about except maybe laughing ourselves to death. These people really do have severe emotional problems. Napoleon XIV comes to mind -- where are those fine young men in their clean white coats?

[Always Right]

I have seen worse. There was one thread were DUers were saying that it was justifiable homoside after a gay male killed a female friend for preaching to him about the immorality of being gay. More recently there was a thread where DUers were discussing how terrrible it is there is no longer the Soviet Union around to 'counterbalance' the US, and called the Soviet Union the 'great experiment'. The DUers were disappointed in the Soviet Union's leadership at slaughtering millions of people, but they all seemed to think that communism theory was just wonderful.

[AndyObermann]

My Personal favorite was, "This was a war invented in Texas..."
Oh, wait...that was Ted Kennedy lol.

The warm feeling I get when I see how much these crazies hate my president is hard to explain. I hates X42 so much that now I'm glad the rage is bothering MY enemies.

W will be triumphant in 2004 and he will carry a senate and house majority that will be fillibuster-proof. That is the payback for the Clinton scandals.

[DB]

Hate in full swing...

[ErnBatavia]

I've never gone there, but sometimes get tempted to become a troll....do they have Zotting in place?

[Redbob]

"Is it just me, or has the rat party become a collection of psychotic demogogues?"

I think you're right, but no, it wasn't anything that you did!
<grin>

[DB]

Wait until it becomes clear all their predictions are wrong just like they were about the actual war.

Then they'll complete the break with reality.

[U S Army EOD]

Two comments:

1. Well folks, get a load of the crap we had to listen to during the Vietnam era such as the Viet Cong were like Jesus Christ.

2. Are you sure these people aren't Howard Dean's speech writers?

[pfflier]

I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise

What utter arrogance. Must be a post by ALGORE and the Hildabeast.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Most of the venom spewed is from the self-loathing homosexual community.

[1066AD]

lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve
Funny looking bell curve !

And to think the media harp about right-wing wackos !
