Kevin is a girlie-manboy. Kevin is a girlie-manboy. Kevin is a girlie-manboy. Kevin is a girlie-manboy. Kevin is a girlie-manboy. Kevin is a girlie-manboy. Kevin is a girlie-manboy. Kevin is a girlie-manboy. v v Kevin is a girlie-manboy.

"VULGARIAN"!!!! HA! Perfect for this idjit! He does look a bit like the vulgarian childcatcher. I can just imagine him squeeking out, "Never trust a man who makes toys in a land where children are forbidden!"

"When I first tuned in to the Republican National Convention last week, I thought I'd hit the wrong channel and caught the party convention of loony North Korean dictator Kim Jong II, whose robotic underlings hail him as a living god while half the population starves."

This is a new wrinkle, ideologically bankrupt left-conformists usually compare Bush to Hitler. I suspect that Anastacio Somoza will soon make an appearance in the list of alleged Bush avatars.

Kevin insults our intelligence by supposing that we would accept his disapproval of the NK regime, or his regard for soldiers and veterans, at face value.

It's the stink of, well, I'm sorry, there's no other word for it...

Desperation?

What is Tollis' credential?

Can't find any bio but, appearently, sometime between 2001 and 2004 he became a self-professed "expert." (An expert is a drip under pressure.)

As for being a journalist -- is every hack a journalist? I guess in Britian that might be so. But, of wait, our equal gift to the world is Moore (USA Today). (UGH, the Brits came out on the short end of that deal.)

"This is a classic example of the National Health Service failing its patients by cutting off their prozac abruptly."

I'd say he sounds more like he refused to take his Haldol! He is not depressed, hes a schizophrenic.

[nightdriver]

One of these days Kevin Toolis' head is going to blow off and flames and sparks are going to erupt from his neck!

I wanna watch!

[ApplegateRanch]

You misunderstood the "expert on terrorism". He knows nothing about combating terrorism; he is just an "expert" on waging outrageous political attacks to terrify voters. .

[Jokelahoma]

Personally, I love reading stuff like this. It shows what happens to the flaming lefties when they see their vision of a Marxist utopia slipping further and further away. The more people wake up and recognize that the God-given rights of man lie with individuals and not with governments, the more useless people like Toolis become. The thought of having to do an honest day's labor for an honest day's wage scares the snot out of people like that. The thought his ability to sell his "literature" being based on its merit instead of on "how much he really and truly cares about his fellow man" scares him even more.

While I don't think we'll ever be rid of them, unfortunately (there are too many idealistic brainwashed children who still believe if we'd all just hug, everything would be fine, without thinking about the large percentage who would take advantage of that move to stab others in the back), the left is becoming more and more irrelevant. They're starting to see it, and they're coming totally unglued. In fact, for his next article, Toolis isn't even going to write. He's just going to submit a photo essay of himself rolling and kicking on the floor, and holding his breath until he turns blue.

'I suspect that Anastacio Somoza ...'

Somoza was a choir boy, compared to the marxist pigs jimmy carter placed in power, in Nicaragua.

A quick google search revealed the following from his publisher's website:

Kevin Toolis was born in Edinburgh of Irish parents. He attended Edinburgh University and has lived in San Francisco, Namibia and London. He has written for the New York Times magazine, the Observer and the Guardian and screenplays for Universal Pictures. He now lives in London.http://www.panmacmillan.com/meettheauthors/authorPage.html?authorId=7511

Strangely, he has also co-authored a book entitled Tory Story, described thus by conservatives.com:

Superb photographic essay depicting leading Conservative lights and Tory Party members. Sounds awful, but it really is a great book. Coffee table type format - great present for a die hard Tory. Watch out for the picture of Widdecombe and Portillo sitting on the same sofa but as far away from each other as possible!http://shop.conservatives.com/item.jsp?ID=34

He also writes for Al Jazeerah:

A decidedly WET Tory, it would seem. ;^)

[Rebelbase]

I sent the Author a link to this thread and a simple one message "You're pathetic".

His reply:

Hey xxxxx.

I'm not.

And thanks for taking the time to read the article. Hopefully it's a bit of challenge to the stuff you usually read on 'your side of the pond'

All the best

What an ASS! I'm actually over on the other side of the pond right now, doing graduate work in Manchester. Reading "legitimate" British journalism, like the Guardian newspaper is, in a word, frightening. I could not even get past the first couple of pages without wretching. However, for the most part, the people are great!

What is Tollis' credential?


Terrorism Expert


Based upon years of being terrorized in the school yard, because he was such a girly geek.

[Hardastarboard]

many of those soldiers would not be dead in the first place if they had the proper armoured vests and equipment to stop an AK-47 round

His expertise on terrorism is definitely in question, especially given that as far as I know, the only vests that would be able to stop an AK-47 round would be too heavy and bulky to be combat effective.
