(Excerpt)

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

Thanks! I was thinking the other way -- like Goodwill or Salvation Army.

Click here to see the Democrat Campaign Letters from Hillary Clinton and Rep. Carolyn Maloney that YOU paid for!

[The KG9 Kid]

That place is made up of two sorts of people, as I like to imagine:

1. Fat lonely girls with purple hair and nasal piercings who have a poster of Che Guevara on their wall and like to tell total strangers phony stories about having been sexually molested as children by a Republican.

2. 32 year old male goateed bicycle messengers who dress in black hooded sweatshirts, black cargo shorts, have black fingernail polish and mascara, and have black dyed hair and black line tatoos on their calves. They're pissed about being 32 year old bicycle messengers, so they take it out on Republicans.

It is in our interests to hope that they never meet and start breeding.

I raise my coffee mug to you this fine morning as i agree whole heartedly with your comments.
it has pleased me much to see the rage these DUmmies have for the President, as i had as much rage for the ex pervert for eight long miserable yrs. these are people who are delusional and deranged.average people will not listen to vile spewings of such lunatics they will however call 911 for the safety of the neighborhood to get these people put in a padded room.

[Old Sarge]

I honestly can't think of what to say. After reading just the excerpts, I feel befouled. These people truly and sincerely wish me dead.

And the herd animals known as the American people will more readily believe them than they will me. Hell, most FReepers don't even believe me, and they're supposedly FRiends.

I agree, Chiller: My God.

[clamper1797]

If that were true I'd burn my Mensa card.

You and me both

[Bilbo Baggins]

DU ping

[freekitty]

These peoples heads sure are bent backwards. The words from their mouths come out all stupid and non-thinking.

If the person professing to be in the top 1%-20% intellectuals; please leave me in the 80%-90% of the unwashed stupid masses. BTW, paranoids and serial killers are classified as being in the high IQ groups.

[SkyPilot]

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

Ya think?

[Ditter]

I go over to DU at least once a week. These are pretty typical & you can find others like them just about anytime.

[Publius6961]

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

This is also my favorite. And when I questioned her suitability to be a contract worker for the state, she just kept digging herself deeper and deeper. And what does this MENSA wannabe do? Environmental analyses and reviews.

If anyone doubts that the inmates have been running the asylum, what better proof can there be?

[Qwinn]

"These quotes are scary, BUT...

Who here can honestly say that they haven't seen something equally offensive on a FR thread? I know I have."

I haven't. While some on FR go "over the top", the ones on DU go over the top, up the street, up a lamppost, jump to a rooftop, through a window of a high rise, up to the very top, and then build a ladder to the moon.

The ones on FR aren't choking with profanities, death threats (except to Islamist terrorists trying to kill our troops, only exception I can think of). A lot less dehumanizing (except maybe of Hillary, heh). We can get bad (to Ann Coulter levels), but they get BAD (to Osama Bin Laden levels).

[Capriole]

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

In a horrible way, this is funny. Here is a guy who supposes himself to be a couple of standard deviations beyond the mean in intelligence, but he can imagine that it's even possible for the majority of a group to be in the lower 80-99%. As Bugs Bunny would say, what a maroon!

I have to hand it to John Hawkins, who went out and dug these quotes up. He must have the stomach of a coroner, to be able to read this slime without sicking up. The arrogance, hatred, and power-mania are as disturbing to read as Mein Kampf.

[SkyPilot]

I did an IP Address Search for the DU UserName: Starpass using my software. This is what turned up.

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

ROTFL! Well, DUh! Wonder if he came up with that one all by himself. We don't call them DUhmmies for nothing.

[Publius6961]

I saw two threads yesterday that depicted/equated Howard Dean to Hitler.

I agree.
Have you listened to a Dean speech? He does sound like Hitler, only I'm glad he does it in English because I don't understand German.
If you believe that this rises to the level of utter insanity equal to DU, I would invite you to really punish us severely with that "sinking to their level crap" and get your pink little butt over there.

[suzyq5558]

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.
The DUmmies that buy all that outdoor chic crap probably wouldnt know how to use the stuff in a rainstorm.
Its due to that bell curve thing dontcha know?:0

[Bob Mc]

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

Very funny. The idiot doesn't even realize he is making conflicting statements here. I would like to see a graphical plot of this so called "bell-curve" with 99% of the data points below the average.

Somebody is definitely behind the "bell-curve", that's for sure, and we can easily identify this one at DU.

[sweetliberty]

"do they have Zotting in place?"

If you go to the DU and say anything intelligent at all, you're out of there before you can say, "ZOT!" The party of tolerance is just, well....intolerant and intelligence is not allowed. LOL!

[SkyPilot]

The most telling part of the quote is not the first part:

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

WE are not the norm.

That is actual rhetoric from the Strumabteilung. I am not joking.
