No Need To Resign For Calling a Duck a Duck - Comments Page 3

So Karl Rove suggested that liberals and some Democrats treat the War on Terror as a law enforcement action and they demand a resignation. They equate Dick Durbin's stunt and subsequent non-apology ("I'm sorry if you misunderstood me") and say Karl Rove should go through the wringer.…

    feeble attempt at Humor, but keep trying

    no "treatise" needed, you rant was more than enough to demonstrate the depths of your ethical bankruptcy

    by utilizing unfounded hyperbole coupled with all inclusive overgeneralization you have managed to clearly epitomize a dearth of intellectual cpacity as well as all the compassion of an upholsterer at Dachau

    one can only Hope that more of your ilk continue to be so blatant and brazen in your unadulterated hatred, and the Majority of the Middle decide to launder the greasy stain of your political existance from the soiled underwear of our Society

    just my one sixth billionths of the world's Opinion...

    Excelsior!

    Gee, it looks like pick on John day. All the attackers are here. Is this supposed to be a place to post comments or create unabashed and abusive comments? Didn't there used to be a comment policy around here?

    Jeremy,

    For every one of the eight you describe as "attacking" John, there are ten more of us standing in the wings, biting our tongues.

    Not out of respect mind you, we're just letting a few other folks whack at the neocon pinata for a while.

    Jeremy,

    from comment #68 John B sez..
    *There is nothing redeemable about liberal thought.

    It destroys individuals, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It destroys families. It destroys communities. It destroys nations. It destroys cultures.*

    thems fighting words, and he knows it...
    when folks are civil..i am civil...when not, well..i can be a bit snarky

    no Apologies from me here, and i speak only for myself

    and i ain't a Dem nor a real "lefty"...but i will excercise my ability to express myself as i see fit

    if Eric O. or the other editors at BC have a problem with my screeds, i am certain they will let me know

    thanks for caring

    Excelsior!

    John B: "here is nothing redeemable about liberal thought. It destroys individuals, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It destroys families. It destroys communities. It destroys nations. It destroys cultures."

    I suggest that you've confused liberalism with the Democratic party, which at heart is primarily not a liberal party, but a statist/socialist party, which is about as far from liberal as you can get. Traditional Republicans are more liberal than contemporary Democrats.

    Gonzo: "where folks like you, Mr Nalle, should be concerned is that the sleepy Middle is waking up a bit and seems to think that the GOP is made up of those dittoheads and fundamentalists

    and they ain't happy, as recent polling is starting to show"

    What remains to be seen is who they're least happy with. Right now my guess would be they prefer and administration which at least tries to do something about our problems to an opposition which does nothing constructive and spends all its time grandstanding and propagandizing.

    Don't count me as part of any 8, all I did was say he was far fringe Right and that he was close-minded towards the Left, which he then proved in the very next comment. There was no 'attack' from me in that.

    The problem isn't they haven't defined themselves... the problem is that they've been to honest when they have.

    Well, John, I am Left and I will continue to vote Left. Your rationale about all that the Left stands for, in comment 73 is 100% wrong and not why I support liberal ideology. Since you are 100% convinced that is all that I'm about (since remember, according to you A=B=C), there is no point for anybody to discuss or debate politics with you. Your mind is made up, there is no possibility for debate. All posts you make should just be frisked and countered with facts. Beyond that, everybody's wasting their time, you've made that much clear.
