The ILLIBERALS of the blogosphere have turned Zarqawi's death into a parade of criticism for President Bush.
For the vast majority of Americans — and Westerners in general — news of Zarqawi's death is cause for celebration. But in the darkest corners of the blogosphere, where the illiberals lurk, the death of Zarqawi takes on a different meaning, altogether:…

Like I said, Hitler
did not wake up in 1939 and decided he wanted to bomb Poland. He annexed Austria and Czechloslovakia firstkilled six million Jews.Fixed that for ya.
78 - Matthew T. Sussman
Usually it's Bush = Hitler. Now we have a Saddam = Hitler. That's a new one to me. Still just as poor a comparison.
79 - JR
I thought Saddam was a wannabe Stalin.

Hey Mathew!!!
Get out of your liberal lala land, get off your hippie high and grow up.
Poor comparisan?
Hitler persecuted Jews because they were Jews and Hitler killed Shiites and Kurds because they were Shiites and Kurds, ya idiot.
Both of them were sick minded dictators who brainwashed their people and both had dreams of world domination, ya idiot.
Your right, Bush and Hitler do have a similarity: They both had big plans. Hitler wanted to take over the world and make anyone who's not Aryan an iferior slave. And Bush? Bush wants to clear the world of terrorism and safe for democracy.

I never thought of Hussein as another Hitler.... I thought of him more as the UN's golden boy....
"You can't make yourself avaialble for our weapons inspectors Mr. Hussein? No problem just have your people get in touch with our people and we'll schedule a date and time that's more convenient for you. Perhaps we can do lunch at the Bagdhad Hard Rock Cafe."
Oh and how old is Castro? He's gotta be knocking on hell's door. Maybe we here at BC should start a death pool on that bearded freak. 5 bucks gets you in.

Hello gents, thought I'd stop by,
Tony G(rande?), there is no spell checker on this medium - but in any event, is it your opinion that Ray is a "uniformed" ididot? Which uniform, pray tell?
Comment #73 - Bush was very much around in the 1930's by the way. Spencer Bush was cutting deals with Thyssen Bank in Germany and supporting my favorite Deutscher Schwein, Adolf Hitler.
Comment: #79 Saddam Hussein was a wannabe NebuHadnezzar. He wanted to destroy Jerusalem. No, not that place in England that the Anglicans sing about (comment #65), but the city of gold, copper and light where I write from.
What are you all arguing about anyway? The cockroach is dead, along with a Hamas cockroach killed by a missile in Gaza.
Killing al Zarqawi won't accomplish too much, but it is still is another notch in the belt of getting rid of the Al Qaeda cancer.

You know me, Tony G. All mara-joo-wanna, all the time.
Listen carefully, young man. I'll say this one: There is no comparison to Hitler. Not-a-one.
(By the way, I know you who really are. Nice guise. But I won't tell anyone.)

Sho invited this guy?
Uniformed, uninformed, unformed, unimformed, Jay's an idiot. Everyone knew what I meant.
86 - Tony G
Matthew, why won't you go and tell everyone who I am?
Saddam was a junior Hitler, nuff said?

Who is Jay, Tony? I don't care if you love me or hate me, but I do expect you to get my name right.

Ooops, I know a different idiot named Jay, Ray.
I confuse all you guys.

*I never thought of Hussein as another Hitler.... I thought of him more as the UN's golden boy....*
umm...you do realize that we (Reagan) financed that maniac and supplied him with WMD's in his 8 year war with Iran, whom Ollie North and crew then worked with the Mafia to import cocaine to get money to buy guns from Iran to give to the Contras in violation of a law enacted by Congress?
i think you can still find the C-SPAN transcripts of the Iran/Contra hearings around somewhere with all that wonderful testimony...
that being said, it great that Zarqawi was fragged by his own guys, and then fingered for us to bomb...one less murdering idiot in the mix...
but don't kid yourself than it really resolves everything, it's merely a baby step in a positive direction

You go Gon-zo You go Gon-zo You go Gon-zo You go Gon-zo Why do I suddenly feel like you guys have been transported back in time to a TV show called "I've dot a secret?" Will the reall Tony G stand up?
92 - gonzo marx
i just think accurate and complete knowledge of history is crucial to understanding events of today, Jet
and just ignore Ant G...he'll be banned....again...pretty quickly, for his usual hate mongering idiocy (and it was a while ago, here on BC where he said the Pearl Harbor bit..well do i remember THAT laugh)

Gonzo, stop with your fairy tales.

lol...Ant G, question fer ya...now that school is done, and yer over 17...when do ya actually head to boot camp?

Anthony - reading your crazy self brings a smile...when do you enter basic - ?

97 - Tony G
Well I have just finished my Junior school:
I head to Sacremento for Boys State (are you faimiliar?)on June 17.
I get back on June 24 and I ship out to Fort Sill, OK for Basic Training on June 26.
I will get back in late August and start my Senior year of High School.
How did you guys now?
98 - Tony G
That's "know" not "now"

you told us about your plans a while ago...what's Boy's State - ?

100 - Tony G
what's Boy's State - ?
I am suprised that you don't know.
Al Gore and Bill Clinton among others attended when they were 17.
It is a youth organization set up by the American Legion for 17 year old boys. Every state has their own in their capital.
They take about 400 boys from all over the state to the capital and make leaders out of them teaching us how the city, county and state governments work by having us do it ourselves. We are going to form our own state government with a Governor, mayors and everything.
I was one of the two chosen to represent my 4,000 plus school.
You really should look it because I am sure you can find a better explanation somewhere else.
101 - Tony G
Excuse me, it is a week long program not an organization.

very cool - you go guy

Thanks Troll.
And Gonzo, I really hate to start this but by looking in the mirror I can tell you that I am not of black descent.
104 - Ray Ellis
Unless you're from Mars, your ancestry can be traced to northern Africa.
105 - Tony G
Go to North Africa and you'll find Caucasians not Negroids.
And the theory that you are referring to takes place in Central Africa, not North Africa.
106 - Ray Ellis
Actually, Caucasia refers to a region nowhere northern Africa. And the fact remains, we all came from Africa.
107 - Tony G
It is a theory, not a fact.
108 - Ray Ellis
Oh really? Even the most diehard creationists place the garden of Eden in Africa--not Hoboken.
109 - Jet in Columbus
You can't expect him to accepts facts, he probably believes the garden of Eden is in Lynchburg Virginia and Jerry Falwell is a direct decendant.

"And Gonzo, I really hate to start this but by looking in the mirror I can tell you that I am not of black descent."
How many times has your mother told you to keep your pants on while using the computer?
Disappointing to see our tax dollars wasted on your education. Why the switch from Anthony Grande to Tony G?
111 - gonzo marx
cuz he was banned, Roger...
and Ant G..you were the one claiming sicilian decent..sooOOooOOooo..how do you think the blond haired, blue eyes southern italians ( who were displaced greeks after all) came to be the swarthy types with short, black, curly hair?
we have done this dance before, you admitted the Moors came thru...and i referred you to Othello to learn a bit more about Moors
interesting you are claiming you are going to basic training then back to HS?
i know i can get...erm...confused, at times...and i know why...but yer Story keeps changing over the last year
either way...good luck

So I gathered from the comments, but I thought ISPs were banned not names. He can't be hiding because he uses the same URL and a variation on his name. He doesn't seem that stupid though he can certainly see it.
He's like RC Collins on the Phil Hendrie Show.

Roger..i dunno, ya wold have ta ask big E, Phillip or one of the editors who is in charge of such things...

"Archie, are you aware that the USA almost sided with the Germans in the Second World War? Many people there thought that Germany would win the war and the smart thing to do would be to side with the winners."
Cite?
FDR was supplying the Brits practically from the start.
Now, maybe you were confused and were thinking of WWI instead...because then you might have a case...
115 - RJ Elliott
"the USA actually only joined the Allies so long as they paid all the costs of war, making the USA little more than mercenaries really?"
Uh...Lend-Lease, anyone? Over 300,000 military personnel dead, primarily to liberate Western Europe and defend the UK? Thousands of trucks and other heavy vehicles sent to the USSR, to help with the battle against the NAZIs?
Methinks you could use some fancy book-learnin', my friend...
116 - RJ Elliott
"Sure, I'm glad they did the right thing in the end but the reality is that the American commitment to freedom and liberty isn't quite what any of us think it is..."
Oh, yeah, the MARSHALL PLAN wasn't indicative of any serious commitment to "freedom and liberty," right?
117 - RJ Elliott
"Hitlet [sic] did not just wake up one morning and decide to start a world war. He started seazing [sic] little provinces from countries like Czechloslovia [sic] and when the Czechs complained to the League of Nations and the U.S. we sided with Hitler hoping that he would stop there, but he didn't did he? That is what I call appeasing."
The US was not a part of the League of Nations...

I'm getting ILL from reading all these anti-Democrat articles by Dr. Politico.

Zarqawi died years ago, all "news" reports on him prior to the date on this article can safely be considered propaganda lies:
121 - Arch Conservative
that great platus you going to provide links that show the moon landing was a hoax and who killed kennedy for an encore Platus?
122 - Chromatius
Over a dozen references to Hitler so far.
Dunno about 'illiberals', but I have to suspect people who are never shy of pulling out this biggest of guns for the teeniest of issues, the simplest of debates.
Kinda like war mongering politicians (and their partisan supporters) who compare every enemy to Hitler - Khomeini, Milosevic, Castro, Hafez Al-Assad, Saddam, Arafat, Ghaddafi, even Chavez, and most recently, Ahmadinejad. I'm sure you can fill in a few yourselves.
In facted I blogged on this the other day: How many Hitlers is that now?
The sweet smell of fear, deployed yet again to suppress thought and debate.
PS knee jerks - some of this was by Democrat war party types - most ntoably, 'twas Clinton called Milosevic (and Radovan Karadžić) like unto the Great Evil One.
123 - Ruvy in Jerusalem
Chromatius,
The people who don't know history drag out Hitler bcause they haven't got the brains to dig up the appropriate baddie to compare to. See comment #82 for an illustration.
Good to see you back...
Shabbat Shalom,
