"Last year I had an affair. I violated the vows of my marriage. It is the worst thing I have ever done in my life." -- Senator John Ensign "I came to that conclusion recently, and frankly it's because of what he has put the country through. He has no credibility left." -- Ensign, on why he decided to ask for Bill Clinton to resign over the Lewinsky affair just more right-wing hypocrisy --- they have always been big on those old children's schoolyard squabbling techniques such as accusing one's opponent first in hopes that the first thrown clump of mud will be enough distraction that one's own dirt won't be noticed --- a strategy used by all fascist govts. from Mussolini to Franco I suggest Ensign sees his dilemma as having been exposed for the one thing he cannot cover up nor buck-pass. Personal moral failures are not policy -- failed policy is something the extreme right wing always attempt to put off on opponents - as if they had nothing to do with their own failures. e.g. Currently, there are other right wingers attempting to blame Obama for Bush's Depression- as if Obama had run up debt (as pathetic a lie as one might imagine)

as far as I know, the issue of my signature is a distraction -- changing from that distraction to a further one is not a style of discussion I care for --- if you wish to change the subject from police intimidation to difficulties of life in the ghetto, maybe we should start a new thread - but as far as taking harassment from the police, there is NO place more likely to get a brother stopped than a drive through Beverly Hills, just the facts, maam

yes there were Palestinians in 1948 and a significant number of them were murdered or forced into exile -- Palestine had been occupied since before WWI --- doesn't mean it didn't exist, anymore than calling it part of Russia meant Georgia didn't exist -- but it's a neat con-artist trick being attempted on an international scale --- suppose we declare there's no such thing as Canada and therefore the US can push all those squatters and terrorists in our northern territories up farther north where they can be taken in by their own people --- I guess the Canadians would fight to keep their land, no matter who said there was no Canada - who, in their right mind, would blame them

the qualifications are the reverse of reality --- the place where an african american can expect to draw the most heat is in a white neighborhood ----- whites do NOT avoid such places

again, it doesn't matter what, 'kinda guy,' you are - it isn't your home it isn't your decision

no, not so very broad a brush --- the nut jobs who believed this pathetic little charade were very few in number AND mostly fitting the same profile as our disaffected Nazi who finally cracked under the strain of such a powerful and untennable cognitive dissonance as his fellows still strain to endure

that, naturally, is not for you to decide but for the Palestinians ---- George Washington faced challenges which Arafat never saw --- but the reverse is also true - Arafat saw obstacles Washington could not have dreamed of

"...because they do not place themselves in a position to be subjected to police..." - this is not true

sure, if one wants to go back a couple hundred years --- naturally, we had to fight a war to throw the brits out of our country --- I suppose the Palestinians feel the same as those early Americans

in 1948 the Palestinians weren't bringing it on themselves --- it was being brought to them by the Brits and a Europe, reduced to rubble, which was still unable to deal with the Jewish community and their counter, the anti-semitism which survived the war -- the Brits saw an opportunity to dump the issue on the middle east ---- for the Palestinians, it was just another invasion by another group willing to kill them off in order to steal their land

Q - what kind of people believe this birth certificate conspiracy bull? A - nut job nazi murderers - James Von Brunn Apparently Part Of Obama "Birther" Movement Among the myriad of disturbing qualities of James Von Brunn, the 88-year-old man who shot and killed a security officer inside the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday, is his apparent belief that Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States and therefore has no right to the presidency. The reason it sticks out is that, even among Von Brunn's other characteristics -- including heavy streaks of anti-Semitism, disdain for the federal government, and threads of white supremacy -- being a "birther" has a modicum of political credibility. Certainly, the vast majority of people who are skeptical of Obama's birth in the state of Hawaii tend to be harmless conspiracy theorists. And there has been no suggestion that Von Brunn's distrust of the president's citizenship solely drove him to this violent act. ... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/10/j...l_n_214006.html

Obama is doing nothing he hasn't said he'd do. Nor is he proposing things he hadn't proposed during the campaign - health care or pay as you go or any of the other issues the right wing has yet to discover --- the only amazing part is how the right wing pundits seem to lack any ability to pay attention when someone is telling them the truth - after months of falsely accusing Obama of producing a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq, they started accusing Obama of following Bush because he hasn't pulled the troops out of Iraq in his first 5 months of office --- the dimwit fascist pundits just can't keep up with reality - the are always in a state of agitated surprise

yes, I see your point

Spot on!! yes, I like that -- guys like Bush and Cheney consider themselves aristocrats - authorised to murder and torture by the, 'divine right of kings' --- I remember even as far back as Reagan admin - Ron was proud of his rag-tag blood connection to the Queen of England --- as an American, I am only proud we kicked English royalty all but out of this continent

certainly, many national govts have become oligarchies in which corporate interests hold sway above all others

1 - who is this, 'lazy man,' you mention? 2 - please expand your argument --- what is it one needs to see in these holy books?

somebody needs to figure out what the big words mean before they attempt to use them but more than that, some folks need to figure out what Islam really is before they start lying about it

Obama and Clinton only look like Republicans because the Republicans they face(d) look so much like Nazis --- given the choice, I would vote Republican every time

another vietnam analogy -- the weather is insufferable, the enemy has the same face as the people you are supposedly protecting, your friends are getting blown to pieces without the slightest warning, you are hated - again, even by those you are supposedly protecting, you are hated -- so the frustration and fear levels grow and, oh yes, the military has ordered you to lug around an automatic rifle ooops

Mathias Döpfner sits on the board of Time-Warner --- the same magazine who dropped Dubya from the list of top 100 most influential people does that add to their credibility or take away from his?

I don't see it as a healthy relationship -- sorry if my post was too sexual for you

well, gee, that kinda douses the old liberal-biased-magazine excuse - and tho, I really doubt Bill O'Really will ever make his way onto any such list, he can always just put it on his resume' anyway -- he's done it before, and his fans don't seem to pick up on his B.S. too quickly - so he could easily get away with it

Bruce Willis needs to get away from a family life where his role is cuckold and chauffer. and maybe get laid do not misunderstand -- I agree the US Govt has been damaged and used for criminal and immoral acts - but Bruce - first go find a therapist, let go of your ex-wife and her latest lover and become a little self aware - and then become a political force but for now, welcome back to reality, Bruce but quit being a jerk and get yourself all the way out from under that rock you were living under -- out into the full light of day and THEN start commenting on what you see

the surge has already been shown up as an indefensible effort to continue an indefensible occupation defending the slaughter by saying it could be worse is not just ludicrous, it is insane
