Fred Barnes: Fascist Pigs!

The Weekly Standard ^ | 02/17/03 | Fred Barnes

[Howlin]

I gave you a reply. It just doesn't satisfy your need to try to prove your superior intelligence on any thread where you can bash the nasty "Republicans." I'm so surprised.

[DAnconia55]

Sir, its 4:30 in the morning thus its a bit too early for me to write up for you a report on Birchers

Ok, but You felt it necessary to refute me, based on the Birchers 'stopped clock' - was a response above based on someone elses ATTACK that the other poster was either a pitchforker or a bircher.

Don't you understand the illogic of this? You can oppose their positions without stepping up to defend that which you cannot defend.

The point being you're attacking ME, for stopping a newbie poster who is attacking BY SMEAR.

[DAnconia55]

Which parts of the Constitution would you like to openly debate, without crawling for help?

I'll use the Founders own words.

And you can use what you believe to be the modern and politically convienient Republican rebuttal.

[Howlin]

"We" weren't discussing that; we were discussing your snotty remarks to posters on this thread, which, by the way, is about Iraq!

[JoJo Gunn]

Holy Mother of God! This thread went from being a spot-on article about the gravity well of Leftist hypocrisy into the Twilight Zone!

[Howlin]

It's all the fault of us nasty old Republicans! (You have ot *say* that like it's the worst thing on earth!)

[DAnconia55]

"We" weren't discussing that; we were discussing your snotty remarks to posters on this thread, which, by the way, is about Iraq!

"WE" were discussing this the moment you opened your mouth to type :

Some on here believe they and they alone can read and interpret their copy of the Constitution and have the correct answers to any and all things under the stars; and no matter WHAT you might believe, you can damn sure bet they think you're wrong.

Which was directed at me, and entirely out of place, seeing how I was only expressing my opinion that BOTH Kondrake and Barnes are compromised 'journalists'. And anyone who is reading this - with a brain and the ability to scroll back, can see...

Which is NOT A Constitutional issue.

---

I repeat, (since you brought it up directly ):

Which parts of the Constitution would you like to openly debate, without crawling for help?

I'll use the Founders own words.
And you can use what you believe to be the modern and politically convienient Republican rebuttal.

[driftless]

Oh great wise one, please educate us poor ignorant slobs that we may have the benefit of your unlimited wisdom and intelligence. We humbly beg for forgiveness and ask for your kindness in tolerating our stupid and unnecessary mutterings when you and you alone know the truth.

your humble statist ignoramus, Driftless

[DAnconia55]

And you were brought into this how?

Let me guess, you're a poster on the Day in the Life of Bush threads?

Yes? No?

Then what is your purpose in defending an indefensible attack on me?

I expressed my opinion that Barnes and Kondrake are bought and paid for 'journalists' that represent the Government line.

Are you related to them? Do you own stock in them?

Else, what is the purpose of your attack?

[LilithUnfair]

Barnes and Kondrake are actual journalists? They're so Hannityish....

[driftless]

Show us your proof. You said that Barnes and Kondracke are "bought and paid for" without ever mentioning what it is they said that you object to. You make some outlandish assertions inviting ridicule, and you're surprised when some posters respond with derisive comments. Get real.

[Carolinamom]

An opinion unsupported by fact(s) lacks validity.

Not being a Fred Barnes fan myself I must say that he has hit a home run with this particular article. I have often said that the anti-war protesters are primarily dejected Gorebots and Clintonistas who just can't stand having a republican, especially George Bush in the Whitehouse and now in control of the other two branches of government as well.

They are still regurgitating the 2000 loss in Florida. They haven't gotten over their losing and being out of power with no leader in sight and it was readily apparent once again in their protests to anyone who has at least one eye and half a brain this past weekend. Hey, you morons on the left (and that includes you LIEbrals in the media), get over it! You lost! Move on!

[KantianBurke]

right. sure. ok.

Hooray for our best supporter on his side of the pond - Tony Blair !

Tony Blair: The price of my conviction

Excerpt:

But there are also consequences of 'stop the war'. There will be no march for the victims of Saddam, no protests about the thousands of children that die needlessly every year under his rule, no righteous anger over the torture chambers which if he is left in power, will remain in being.

I rejoice that we live in a country where peaceful protest is a natural part of our democratic process. But I ask the marchers to understand this.

I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour. But sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.

If there are 500,000 on the [Stop the War] march, that is still less than the number of people whose deaths Saddam has been responsible for. If there are one million, that is still less than the number of people who died in the wars he started.

So if the result of peace is Saddam staying in power, not disarmed, then I tell you there are consequences paid in blood for that decision too. But these victims will never be seen, never feature on our TV screens or inspire millions to take to the streets. But they will exist none the less.

President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of England walk out to address the media in Cross Hall at the White House Nov. 7. "We've got no better friend in the world than Great Britain," said the President during his remarks. White House photo by Paul Morse.

Boo to the 'RATS !!

[edwin hubble]

Something's in the water here...somehow this thread has gone into fantasy land.

I've met Fred Barnes. He is smart and thoughtful.
His article is Dead On.

The left has Flipped. They used to support legitimate wars of liberation. Now they support the fascists.

I think we should close this thread with that.

[edwin hubble]

typo:
They used to support "legitimate" wars of liberation.

There WERE Communist spies in the government, the historical record has proven so.

Now the communists control Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the Anti-American, Anti-War movement.
