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

Looks like the DNC panders to the lowest lowest denominator. Even at my most Clinton-disgust, I never had thoughts as low or disgusting as those from DummiesU.

Amen. Thank God for small favors.

Every human being has the dream, or the illusion, of some sort of greatness or special gift that can live after them. I suppose that these people can rejoice in their peculiar brand of immortality, in a Ted Kaszinski or Jeffrey Dahmer sort of way...

Here's the best I've read ... Dec 21, 6:23 PM

"if Gore had been in office he would have immediately imposed progessive marxist economic policies to begin distributing wealth fairly in this country instead of letting a few hogs oink up all the money. THERE IS NO FREEDOM IN A SOCIETY THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO OWN PROPERTY. IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO BE FREE GREED MUST BE BANNED. WE SAW THE RESULT OF GREED ON 911/"

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

Well, perhaps we can. I can feign madness easily enough to be convincing (I think). But nobody would believe it.

DU says:

Bush caused Iranian quake.

[Phantom Lord]

Do they have Zotting in place? If you stray even the slightest from the most ardent, hate filled, hard core leftist position you are instantly banned.

Few topics are open for debate. The 2nd Amendment being the only one I can think of at this time. You can actually have a pro gun position and not get banned. But other than that, dissent is not allowed.

So many to pick from it's hard to decide which is the dumbest

Wow....talk about taking a DUmp!

http://www.rei.com/ It's a mail-order company that specializes in high-end camping & outdoor gear. The sort of stuff that people who wear Birkenstocks & drive Volvos would buy. Outdoor-chic stuff.

You can make up a game.... "DU spew, or made up Poo?" See who can guess correctly after reading a post. FReepers may lose a few brain cells if they try to make up a DU Spew, but it may be worth the laugh.

I certainly do not decry the "lashing out" or the deserving nature of the recipients. However there is the infrequent allusion to impalement, emasculation, toenail removal, the flailing of skin and other sundry means of slow torture and death that detract from the usual civility of the site. These are so rare as to be negligible, but I've read them and so have you.

"Even at my most Clinton-disgust, I never had thoughts as low or disgusting as those from DummiesU."

Remember, with dems it's all about 'feelings'. They base little on reason, logic, or fact. They get so emotional purely from a lack of substance.

[Naspino]

However there is the infrequent allusion to impalement, emasculation, toenail removal, the flailing of skin and other sundry means of slow torture and death that detract from the usual civility of the site.

In five years I've never seen any of those "sundry" means mentioned. But I don't read every thread.

[Ann Archy]

Their brains are eaten up by hatred of Christians, by dope and by homosexual activity.

[Ashamed Canadian]

My God is right. When your own people spout off like that.....it encourages the Liberals up here to take the same viewpoint. I mean, that comment about getting the WH during 9-11, unbelievable, I can't believe someone said that.

[Rome2000]

The DUmb site is down, probably didn't pay their ISP.

[Bluegrass Federalist]

Joke or not? Is this really on there?
