Mr. Dwyer,

This American would like to knock out a few of your rotten teeth.

"And in the Netherlands, the spiritual home of liberal tolerance, something went dreadfully wrong in November. The murder by an Islamist fanatic of radical Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh, who had made a movie condemning violence against women in Muslim societies, was a deplorable but isolated event. The subsequent displays of hostility and outright violence both by Dutch-born Muslims and by Christian or post-Christian Dutch who used to preach tolerance were shameful and deeply worrisome"

He says Muslims killing non Muslims is an isolated event, but displaying hostility towards anyone in retaliation is worse in his mind. That pretty much sums up the strange distorted view of reality shared by all progressive literati the world over.

They allow their hate for Bush to so color their perceptions, that they might as well be legally and logically blind. I am not a huge Bush fan but I am not so blind that I cannot see who the real enemy is.

OMG, now that is funny!

We don't debate with leftist losers.

There were two other threads I saw that got pulled and the posters banned or suspended today before I could post a reply.

The first one was "It's torture getting these DcRATS to nominate senor alberto! (Vanity)" by sodiumtorture. This one had 11 replies.

The other was posted by sicksicksicksick. Both were zotted.

Must be a real slow day at DU.

It's getting time to break out the reserves:

I'm sending you back to Yo-Land, varmint!

[westmichman]

Longwinded aren't we!! Could have said the same thing by saying "I hate Shrub and the GOP".
Mary Mapes is that you?
Sorry you can't have a job here!!

[Ichneumon]

Does anyone have any thoughtful comments or legitimate debate here,

Yup, sure do. But you don't, apparently.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood this site, but I wasn't aware that it might be a doctrinaire ideologically driven backslapping forum. Please tell me it isn't.

It isn't. That's why we flush newbies who come here with an enormous "doctrinaire ideologically driven" chip on their shoulders. Goodbye.

[Ichneumon]

ROFL!!!!!!

[superskunk]

Very nicely said.

[mysto]

I've got some extras here too...

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, yeah. I got pinged to those also. But they were pulled before
I could get there.

The first one was "It's torture getting these DcRATS to nominate
senor alberto! (Vanity)" by sodiumtorture.

That guy was likely a retread from the OTHER torture
something-or-other screen name.

[HRoarke]

Very very funny! I appreciate the humor as a Reservist myself.
