You know, it's really sad when you see someone proudly wearing the Hat of Ass. Well, no, actually, it's hilarious. It's been a long time since I saw someone write something as sanctimonious yet retarded as:
But the instituions that comprise the American government, that's a different matter. They've committed far to many crimes to be forgotten. Literally millions dead at their hands, entire countrysides laid waste and baren due to their presence, sovereign nations and cultures interferred with to suit American purposes.
What I am saying, is that America (the governent) has waged war upon the world for a long time now, and America (the people) have done nothing about it. I'm saying that it's not surprising that religious and extremist groups are starting to do to America...exactly what America has done to them.
Michele isn't amused, though. And actually, I'm not really amused either. This kind of malicious lie-mongering (which is all this complete disregard for reality is) can't remain unchallenged. Every time some yutz like this opens his yap, some terrorist asshole somewhere smiles.

That's right, baby. And they're called Nazis, Japs, and Commies. And we were at war with them. And we won. And then they stopped slaughtering and enslaving people. And now we're not at war so we don't have to kill them anymore.
Yes, I know about all the oppressive governments we supported because they were "anticommunist". Funny thing, though...when we no longer needed "anticommunists" we quit supporting them and they don't seem to exist anymore. Now if we could just quit supporting, say, the Saudi royal pains.
Posted by: Ken Summers at August 28, 2003 at 09:10 AMI believe in cutting people some slack when they misuse "comprise"; it's an unusual sort of verb. But here it serves no purpose to begin with. The only good reason to say "the institutions that comprise the American government" rather than simply "the American government" would be to emphasize that Amtrak and the Park Service were just as involved as the Pentagon and the State Department in that Haitian invasion that Osama bin Laden was so mad about. Even moonbats usually aren't quite that batty.
Posted by: Paul Zrimsek at August 28, 2003 at 10:02 AMI often find myself wondering if it's worth giving these people the attention that slapping them gives them.
Then I think: "Yeah, it is."
Posted by: Dean Esmay at August 30, 2003 at 03:53 AMKen - haven't you heard of China?
You know, the biggest country in the world and run by the Communist Party.
Aren't you cowering under your Ann Coulter duvet in fear of that "red menace". After all, they are a brutal regime with a tendency to invade and occupy other countries.
Or will you hold your peace until Limbaugh tells you otherwise?
(This might be sometime since western corporations are busy shipping out thousands of jobs to Red China, and very profitable it is too).
Posted by: Analogue Voter at August 31, 2003 at 02:36 PMWhen was the last time China invaded and occupied another country?
I'll want to see links to the news stories.
