Sullivan ping.

[I still care]

“What I really hate about the way our government has been taken over is that I’m at the point where I almost don’t want anything good to happen in Iraq, I want them to screw up, I want them to fail.”


Whenever I hear someone on TV upbraiding Ann Coulter for calling the left on "Treason", I am now glad to have this quote to pull out for them.

And yes, this is much of the discourse on DU. They would rather see this wonderful country sink into the sea and every soldier we have killed rather than this country do well under Bush's presidency. They hate him THAT MUCH.

And yes, that makes them traitors.

A gem, simply a gem!!!

Sullivan is a genius!!!

When this is posted at DU, expect enough Sullivan insults to make it look like a meeting of "We hate Queers International". Ah those tolerant lefties.

[StriperSniper]

Bump for later.

Another really good article by Sullivan.

“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 bastard occupying the White House and destroying America in the process . . .”

Sounds like a line directly from Little Tommy Boy Daschle. He is always sad about something or other.

No fair. You know democRATs can't cope with butterfly ballots!

[George W. Bush]

Looks like, for once, we can actually discuss that other site as a legitimate news item.

Don't blame us, blame Sullivan.

Maybe this is a first for DU to get a mention in a media piece.

N/P. Thanks.

DU is a parody site of liberalism, right? Some freeper with a sense of humor, right? I mean, real liberals can't be THAT wierd, right?

In the past I have lived in Britain and many other countries.

When in a third world country I would tune into the BBC World Service to hear the news. When I heard the words, "This is London" I knew a balanced a fair analysis of world events would follow these words. I listened to these words in South America, Africa and the Middle East. I knew the words were analysis without bias. Sadly to say the Grundig radio now sits silent. The words following "This is London"
are no longer without bias. I would like to turn my radio on again! When BBC World Service is of the same standard as in the past, I will turn my radio on again.

Brace yourself: they're completely sincere.

Their site brims with the sort of insane Bush-hatred that Tom DeLay gave a speech about yesterday. Look for it in FR's sidebars.

[WOSG]

That's a very good point ... In their hearts, they are harboring treasonous thoughts. They would have US soldiers die and the US be humiliated to spite Pres Bush.

Ah, now I know how the Clinton 'haters' were different. I dont recall a single Clinton-critic desiring either harm to our economy nor harm to our foreign policy. we may have critiqued both as flawed but we never wanted it to go worse than otherwise.

"Maybe this is a first for DU..."

And how appropriate a mention!

Namely, and exquisitely, as an example of sociopathic Factionalism, an often fatal disease of Republics.
