2. favorite quote
"Dirty little secret: The NY Times is staffed to the gills with homos. Not every writer whose by line you see, but behind the scenes and in decision making positions. This is part of the reason the Times is so awful and traitorous. And self concerned. With all it's life style sections it's a me me me me newspaper which it wasn't in my youth when I would wake up early on weekends just to fetch it and read the sports section. It's much more female oriented and pitched to them by virtue of what they choose to cover."

5. I like this one:
"NY Times practices pedophilia and sacrifices virgins each new moon. They have a special room in the basement. It has a eye scanner to only admit those in management. The virgins they have to import from Africa because they can't find any in the U.S. I know, because the contract janitorial staff had the bid for the company I worked for. Said they had a hard time keeping people that would clean the room."

3. FR must be a satirical site, right?
set up by leftists in order to make the US right look really bad and stupid, right???

It's so bad it's like a caricature, kind of like Coulter and O'Reilly and Hannity...

They are all so absolutely ridiculous that I have to believe they are part of some conspiracy to absolutely discredit the right...

Right???

6. Nope.
They are serious over there. The far right believes there are just two ways of viewing the world. Their way... or the highway.

Well, actually I don't either, but I know what they're saying there, thanks to this article which was NOT published in the US media (suprise surprise).

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1215613,00.html


Six National Guard soldiers from a West Virginia unit who treated Abu Ghraib as a playpen of pornographic torture have been designated as scapegoats. Will the show trials of these working-class antiheroes put an end to any inquiries about the chain of command? In an extraordinary editorial, the Army Times, which had not previously ventured into such controversy, declared that "the folks in the Pentagon are talking about the wrong morons ... This was not just a failure of leadership at the local command level. This was a failure that ran straight to the top. Accountabilty here is essential - even if that means relieving leaders from duty in a time of war."

William Odom, a retired general and former member of the National Security Council who is now at the Hudson Institute, a conservative thinktank, reflects a wide swath of opinion in the upper ranks of the military. "It was never in our interest to go into Iraq," he told me. It is a "diversion" from the war on terrorism; the rationale for the Iraq war (finding WMD) is "phoney"; the US army is overstretched and being driven "into the ground"; and the prospect of building a democracy is "zero". In Iraqi politics, he says, "legitimacy is going to be tied to expelling us. Wisdom in military affairs dictates withdrawal in this situation. We can't afford to fail, that's mindless. The issue is how we stop failing more. I am arguing a strategic decision."

One high-level military strategist told me that Rumsfeld is "detested", and that "if there's a sentiment in the army it is: Support Our Troops, Impeach Rumsfeld".


They think American approves of Rumsfeld? WHY?! Is there some poll indicating that people approve of his leadership? I can't see how!

LOL... that site is full of wack jobs! I love the one sig line about John Kerry being AWOL on matters of national security, while the reason they say that (his votes being LIED ABOUT in bush's LYING ads) are the same votes Cheney and Bush made or advocated! (Cheney also didn't support THE SAME WEAPONS SYSTEMS KERRY VOTED AGAINST, and Bush opposed 'the $87 billion' and then signed it!)

Repukes are stoooooooooopid! Do the depths of their idiocy know no bounds? I think not!

And I just LOVE how they're sqealing and whining about the Church commission. Repukes must HATE for their corrupt soullessness to be exposed to the light of day.
