Look at the little rushncrap at the bottom of the cartoon, he’s trying to look up Ann’s skirt.

It’s a good thing cartoon boy didn’t draw his lower half, there’s no telling what that little pervert is doing.

In response to John Edwards’ refusal to fire two staffers for “intolerant” Web postings, the president of the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights group said he will launch a campaign next week to point out “the double-standard that [Edwards] is the kingmaker of.”

Refusal to fire two people that insulted the protected constitutional right of 250,000,000 Americans:

What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?- John Edwards Official Blog

So tell me, did the Urinal draw any cartoons about this outrage?

Did any pinkos stand up for Christians like the way they whine and gnash their teeth over little Johny Playground’s hurt fweelings, po, po thing?

It’s a tad hypocritical, as usual, don’t you think?

Every 28 or so days for over 30 years I got one great big nasty zit. Fecund women and married men understand the basic principles of the period pimple. Pops up quickly and if left alone goes away on its own. If you play with it or pick at it, It can get nasty and infected.

I liken Ann Coulter to that special zit. Leave her alone she will go away.

Actually, George Will , respected American conservative, said it well yesterday when asked about Ms. Coulter, “The less said about him the better.”

Now, I have to go wash my own mouth out with soap and do a couple of decades on my rosary as penance for blogging in such a vile way.

This is so sick and sad. What the republican party has become is disgraceful. Anyone who associates with it should be ashamed of themselves. If you are a kid, and know you are gay, due to your own self awareness, this type of verbal bile only begins the process of self hatred and pain. She is disgusting. I’m sure my coworker agrees. He was beaten up so badly in college that half of his stomach had to be removed. His attackers were calling him f*ggot while smashing his skull. Screw this disgusting party and what it has become.

For more proof of the Spirit of the Age the Dems just can’t seem to wrap their minds around watch “Conspiracy of Silence” on Google Video about the Franklin Coverup, Boys Town and the homosexual prostitutes in the previous Bush White House…if Jeff Gannon/James Guckert’s recent trysts with the sitting 9-11 committing Draft-dodger-in-Chief fails to make it obvious enough.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumers will pay more for gasoline in the weeks ahead as fuel demand picks up going into the spring driving season, but a slowing economy may keep pump prices from rising as much as normal, energy experts said on Monday.

But the recent steep fall in the U.S. stock market and more concerns about the health of the American economy could dampen the rise in gasoline prices if consumers start cutting back on their driving and petroleum demand weakens, said Geoff Sundstrom, a spokesman for the AAA travel group.

Ain’t the cycle of supply v demand grand? Wouldn’t it be grander if Repulicans understood the first thing about it?

Ain’t it pathetic that a decade after Bill Clinton deftly led the nation to prosperity in spite of being weighed down with a Republican Congress, that a ‘good’ news story is how gas prices won’t rise quite as fast as they should because our economy is doin so poorly?

Anybody got any idea about what is says when the ‘demand’ side slows due to inflation on the ‘supply’ side of the equation? Hint: It ain’t a good thing! Whenever we have had a President that destroys our economy all the way down to the demand cycle, we have historically been headin into some very deep shiite! Hold onto your seats, everyone, now you’re really goin for a fun ride on the Bush bandwagon, rather ya want to or not!

Hey Jeff,

Maher never called for the death of the Vice President, they were discussing the rights of bloggers to freely express their opinions on such matters.

The exact quote by Maher was:

Maher: But I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow. (applause)

(then later in response)

Maher: I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.

Alright, I’ll make all the liberals happy here. I’ve said it before and I don’t mind saying it again. I’m a conservative, and…..

I don’t like Ann Coulter.

I do, however, know where she came from. For all the years that I was a Democrat, I observed, and grew to dislike their negative attacks on conservatives’ traditional values.

I voted Democrat, the husband voted Republican. A personal conflict within our own household.

I came to see the Democrats’ attacks as an affront on a “good man”, and the traditional values which he supported to make our family strong.

Ann Coulter is a result in other words to what liberals, in the past, have entitled themselves.

I’m making no excuses for Ann, but I am making an overall observation that includes liberals, past and present.

That being said, a little parody for all to enjoy.

And good news for you liberals. I recall when Robert Gates was nominated by Bush to replace Donald Rumsfeld, all of you “screamed” that he was a Bush insider nominated to do the President’s bidding.

Gates being called the ‘anti-Rumsfeld

Ann Coulter is doing a fine job of being a spokesperson for the Republican Party. At least she’s honest. She makes no pretense of being a “compassionate conservative” or any of that nonsense. She’s displaying clearly where the hearts and minds of many of the rightists really are.

Up here in the mountains there’s an old country store where a lot of the “good old boys” gather to shoot the crap. It’s a real Republican bastion. But they’re honest. They’ll tell you that they real reason they’re such staunch Republicans is because the Dems support blacks and gays. Of course they use more colorful terms to describe these groups. The owner of the store will tell you straight to your face that the reason he’s a Republican is the voting rights act of 1964.

One of the reasons that that the Republican party has grown so strong in the south is that bigots and racists just feel so comfortable with it (although I will admit that not all Republicans are bigots or racists). Maybe we could say that the Republican party “enables” bigots.

No one I knew was ever a Republican for the reasons you stated. In fact, Howard Baker, from eastern TN supported the Fair Housing Act etc… while many Democrats of that era did not. These people are Republicans because they supported the ideals of the party of Lincoln and not the party of George Wallace and Lester Maddox. I know very few overtly racist Republicans or Democrats and it is offensive to people of both stripes to be catagorized by such outrageous characterizations.

Coulter is not representative of conservatives or Republicans. She pursues controversy as a means of obtaining publicity, forcing herself into the spotlight, and extending her 15 mins of fame.

She is not compassionate. She is not fair. She can, at times, be vile.

She is not unlike Randi Rhodes, Huffington, or many other hacks from the other end of the spectrum.

Me come back to the Democratic party?

After witnessing what I have on this blog, that’s not likely to happen anytime soon.

I’m a moderate conservative. The liberals won’t even accept even us. On this site alone, they attack our faith, our education; they refer to us as “rednecks”, “trailer trash”, “idiots”,——-> “retards” <———-I find that one offensive not for myself, but for the kids I work with.

We’re “warmongers”, “homophobes”, “murderers”, “greedy consumers”. I could go on and on with the vile and unfounded accusations against conservatives.

You steal our names here, robbing us of our free speech, putting your vile words in posts to mislead readers.

The way I see it, nothing has changed from that which I saw in the past.

Not until recently did you guys profess to pursue “civil dialogue”. Maybe that had to do with somebody pointing out that you certainly weren’t benefitting your party with all your hate.

Now you want me to buy back into the Democratic party?

In conclusion, I find you liberals untrustworthy.

So……NO CAN DO!!!!!!!

Off to work.

candide - you still did not define fascist and I believe that you cannot. You seem to be labeling any Christian as a fascist, when that is really not the case. Some like Franco did profess to be Christians, yet they also were plainly hostile to free enterprise and basic human freedoms. Pat Buchanan is a fascist. Ann Coulter is just a crashing bore. Please do not paint with such a broad brush!

Ann is one person, one opinion, you all are making her influence appear to be monolithic, it simply isn’t that way. Does Al Sharpton and some of the zany off the top comments he makes speak for all the Democrats? No. You are helping her sell more books, garner more speaking engagements and have her face plastered all over the papers. She is loving this attention. If your child says something to get attention, the first time you mildly laugh, or cringe….then you ignore it going forward. She now feels she needs to ‘one up’ everyone and now what? Another remark and more press. The uncalled for and unwarranted barbs can cut both ways. You can’t constantly call a sitting President an idiot, say the VP’s death means life for others and not be able to handle a little name calling from the other sides lips and then run home from the playground telling mommy someone called me a name. Don’t live up to her name calling.

Libby verdict reached.

By Blackadder

March 6, 2007 11:41 AM | Link to this

John Gibson host of The Big Story with John Gibson on Fox News defended Ann Coulter last night on his show. He didn’t do it by defending what she said. He didn’t even defend it by claiming freedom of speech. No, he defended it by contrasting what Ms. Coulter’s disgusting comments about John Edwards to what he says was Bill Maher’s statement that he wished the terrorist attempt on Dick Cheney had succeeded. You see, in Right-Wing wacko land, you can excuse any action if you can just find something a liberal did that you can say was worse.

The thing is Bill Maher never said that. What Bill Maher was discussing on his show was whether or not commentors on the Huffington Post should have been censored for saying THEY wished Cheney had died. It was a quote. It was discussed by his panel and most people agreed that the Huffington Post staff had a right to delete the comments. Bill argued it was a freedom of speech issue, but that line of thinking went nowhere. Barney Frank teases Bill that he said Cheney should have been killed, but Maher is quick to point out he was reading a quote.

Not that you get that from watching Gibson. No, Gibson flat out lies about what was said. He twists the context of the conversation so bad that there is no other way to phrase it. I’m sure Gibson bets his audience isn’t likely to watch the “liberal” Bill Maher and won’t bother fact checking. That says a lot for the people who watch his show, none of it very good.

Amazing. Ann Coulter makes a point about how absurd it is to go into rehab for using he word “f*” and all the libs claim in an unmistakeably derogatory manner that Ann is a lesbian.

You people are seriously confused about where you stand on the issues - but that’s to be expected when you believe in nothing except Big Government and being ANTI-everything ele.

For the record, Ann is also a SATIRIST, and does not hold public office. This f* comment may not be the brightest or funniest thing she’s ever said, but it pales in comparison to what Edward’s bloggers, Bill Maher and our own idiot parrots say^^^.

Old Fudd, I was very clear to point out that that not all Republicans are racists or bigots. What I am saying is that the racists and bigots feel a “safe haven” in the Republican party. I’m from a county in the mountains of North Carolina which has had a long standing reputation for bigotry. Not that many years ago there was a sign at the county line warning all blacks to be out by sunset. At that time the county had a majority of Democrats, called “southern democrats”. Over the years, however, the majority party in the county has become Republican. Although the county is not quite as intolerant as before, it’s still a very intolerant place. Blacks still feel uncomfortable coming here. You don’t hear folks using the “N” word as much as before. But its still okay to blast gays and for preachers to condemn them from the pulpit.

What’s happened is that its not okay to be a bigot and a Democrat here, so all those folks of the bigoted persuation have simply switched parties. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about, I live here.

“Look at the fact that we call it the “Iraq War.” Where was the war? Doesn’t a war involve two sides fighting against each other? The “Iraq War” was simply one country (with a few hangers-on) dropping a lot of bombs on another country after it had sent in teams of inspectors to make sure that the country it was bombing didn’t have any weapons to fight back with. I can’t think of any “war” in history that has been conducted on a more cowardly basis.” –Terry Jones

Now the FDA, against the advice of all its advisors, is set to approve the use of one of our most effective antibiotic families in cattle.

The report on factory orders, coupled with other data showing weaker-than-expected activity, have raised concerns that the current economic slowdown may be more serious than previously expected.

NEW YORK - Mounting concerns on Wall Street that mortgage lenders might be hurt by increasing defaults and delinquencies sent investors fleeing Monday from some of the biggest names in the industry.

The meltdown among lenders that specialize in home loans to people with weak credit, known in the industry as subprime lenders, again ravaged stock prices. Financial institutions from Britain’s HSBC Holdings PLC to subprime leader Countrywide Financial Corp. sank amid reports of strained portfolios as loans went bad.

The failure of sub-prime lenders is proof positive of the fallacy of supply-side economics. Supply-siders would have us believe that if BIG business thrives, then the wealth will ‘trickle down’ to the middle-class. Trouble is that it just ain’t happening, instead BIG business has sold us out, sending our jobs and factories overseas for the cheap labor, increasing the market share of our overseas competitors, and wrecking our economy.

The american economy is built on the backs of the middle class. Demand side economists know this simple fact and that when the middle class prospers, they buy consumer goods, factories are built to supply those goods, and good jobs are created to staff those factories. As usual, Republican supply-siders have gotten it ‘Bass-Ackwards’, once again!

Libby’s fate is now a crapshoot. If he has a fair-minded jury, he probably will get acquitted. But if not (and he is being tried in heavily Democratic Washington, D.C.), he won’t. Patrick Fitzgerald surely would consider that vindication, but it would only add to his shame.- 1/30/07

It will be YEARS before Libby is through with the justice system appeals process, years before he sees the inside of a jail cell if ever, it could be just a few short months before he walks free.

No one knows.

We do know he won’t be in a jail cell tomorrow or even by the end of the year.

The only thing today’s jury decided was that this case would drag on for quite a while longer.

And that the jury saw Libby as a fall guy for whoever leaked Plame’s name.

That would be Armitage.

However, consider that Coulter originally was a writer for the prestigious conservative journal The National Review, founded by William Buckley who was editor at the time.

In 2000 the Media Research Center presented Coulter with its “Conservative Journalist of the Year” award.

The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute bestowed upon her its annual conservative leadership award “for her unfailing dedication to truth, freedom and conservative values and for being an exemplar, in word and deed, of what a true leader is.”

She is a regular on Fox television where she appears invariably to blame every problem in the world on liberals and defend every failure of the Bush administration.

Dusty,

No, there were no lies in Wilson’s op ed piece and the Bush administration quietly retracted its claim that Saddam attempted to buy low grade uranium ore from Niger in July 2003.

The CIA National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq of 2003, included the following sentence: “Finally, the claims of Iraqi pursuit of natural uranium in Africa are, highly dubious.” It turned out that they were based on forged documents.

Furthermore, the CIA sent two memos to the White House voicing doubts about the claims, one to Bush’s deputy national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, and the other to his chief speechwriter, Michael Gerson.

Even Bush lackey CIA director George J. Tenet phoned Hadley before the president was to make a speech in Cincinnati on October 7, asking that the allegation be removed. Despite these urgings the administration included the claim in the 2003 State of the Union address in the infamous “16 words.”

One could also ask why the American ambassador to Iraq agreed with Wilson’s findings and why the International Atomic Energy Agency, the organization which monitors such matters and whose head just won the Nobel Peace Prize concluded that Iraq had made no attempt to purchase uranium yellowcake from Niger.

I don’t know what sources you relied upon for your “facts” but those above are a matter of public record and I can cite several places where they were published.

That included James Watt, a cabinet officer, who was forced from office for corruption.

That also included 5 very senior officials including Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger.

Remember Bud McFarlane? He was one of the five. He attempted suicide.

Oliver North, a thorough going scumbag who dragged the good name of the Marine Corps through the mud, was convicted of -3- felonies.

We have had several Republican Congressmen convicted of crimes in the current administration, and now Libby.

John Dean, of course the self same presidential counsel who saw Watergate as a cancer on the presidency has opined that when Bush -admitted- that he violated the 1978 FISA act, he was liable to impeachment on that alone.

Bass Ackwards,

I am not a big believer in supply side economics, and I also think unregulated free markets are detrmental to society, but the problems in the subprime market have nothing to do with exporting jobs over seas or directly with GWB’s policies.

After 9-11, the fed (which may or may not be influenced by GWB policies) dropped the benchmark lending rate down to the lowest levels ever in order to stimulate spending and growth. As the mortgage rates fell, house values increased at a rapid pace. It was into this market that lending guidelines were relaxed and subprime loans were given at higher loan to value ratios. The risk of giving high LTV loans to risky borrowers was mitigated by rising home prices, so if someone defaulted on a 100% loan in 12 months, chances are the homes value appreciated 10% or so in that time, again, all related to what market the home is in.

Now we are in a declining home value market, and many companies are no longer allowing 100% loans to subprime lenders (check Bloomberg for news on freemont, New Century, First Franklin and other companies)

This is a market correction not a govt policy.

—> FREE ADVICE

I could read only about half-way through the posted comments before I realized that no one really gets it. The issue isn’t about (or at least it shouldn’t be about) who is liberal or who is conservative, or about what a Republican stands for or what a Democrat stands for, or whether or not the Republican party is actually conservative or trying to be libertarian, or whether or not the Democratic party is socialistic or trying to prevent the US from becoming Venezuela within the next couple of generations. The real issue is how someone believes that the best way to insult someone is to label him gay. Not only that, but the best way to label him gay is to use the word f*. Obviously very few of you know why that word is offensive. The word literally means kindling wood, i.e. that which is used to start a fire. Back in the day, when executions were carried out through public burnings, to get the crowd excited about the pending burning of a petty thief or adulterer, the men in charge would go into the crowd and find a gay person or two to throw into the just-lit fire just for kicks. The crowds would get even more excited over this “comic relief.” Thus the term f* or simply f*. To this day, to call a gay person a f* is usually seen as a threat of bodily harm.

Before everyone says that f* just means stupid, I was raised in the South and told that the term n__-rig was not an assault to black people, and that there was no harm in saying that one was going to “Jew-down” a price. It’s all offensive. Just like when you use vulgar curse words, if you can’t think of a more intelligent way to express your opinions, than maybe you’re dumber than your opponent.

Old Fuddy Duddy,

I cited several sources, the CIA estimate, their warnings to the Bush people, Tenet himself, the American ambassador to Iraq, the IAEA, apart from Wilson which cast serious doubt upon the yellowcake claim.

Colin Powell himself examined the documentation and concluded they were crude forgies. The fake documents themselves were reproduced in Harper’s magazine later in 2003. The claim was officially retracted by the Bush administration in July 2003 after the invasion.

So, what Alice in Wonderland source are you relying upon?

As far as Tenet is concerned he ingratiated himself to the Bush administration to keep his job and was accordingly awarded the Medal of Freedom. Wilson was a Republican, originally appointed by Reagan and who also served under Bush’s father.

As Ronald Reagan said “facts are stubborn things.” And we know what difficulty he had with them as well.

The following articles are some of the sources that support the claims I made in the earlier post and collectively they expose the profound deceptions that have marked the Bush administration’s rationale for war against Iraq. I would again note that most of what I claimed in that post was widely cited in the media at the time.

On the grounds for doubting the uranium story which was a significant part of the argument for the nuclear threat, was included in the important State of the Union speech and repeated by Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz see:

“Text of the Statement by George J. Tenet,” October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, The New York Times, July 12, 2003.

On Tenet’s call to deputy national security adviser Stephen Hadley, advising Hadley not to cite the Niger uranium claim, see Dana Milbank and Walter Pincus, “Bush Aides Disclose Warning from CIA,” The Washington Post, July 23, 2003, p. A1.

Joseph Wilson described his trip to Niger in “What I Didn’t Find in Africa,” The New York Times, July 6, 2003.

Walker Pinkus, “CIA Asked Britain to Drop Iraq Claim,” The Washington Post, July 11, 2003, p. A1.

David Remnick, “Faith Based Intelligence,” The New Yorker, July 28, 2003.

On the repetition of the story by Rice, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowtiz, see Walter Pincus, “Bush Team Kept Airing Iraq Allegation,” The Washington Post, August 8, 2003, p. A10.

On the tendentious use of intelligence by the Bush administration see Seymour Hersch, “Selective Intelligence,” The New Yorker, May 12, 2003 and Evan Thomas, Richard Wolfe, and Michael Isikoff, “Where are Iraq’s WMDs?” Newsweek, June 9, 2003.

Why Yes —

Thank you Walt -

That clearly shows the Iraqi Nuclear program had ended long before the time dated period of the BBC’ Documents (both forged, and the one’s that Tony Blair had said existed but never presented as evidence and are therefore un-proven documents either way)

Of course it was also well before the Wilson report too.

So there was no reason for Iraq to aquire more Yellowcake (in addition to the 1.8 million tons that it already had) at that time. These stockpiles were known by the IAEA.

http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Programmes/ActionTeam/nwp2.html

These stockpiles were purchased before and during the Clinton Presidency as Iraq had an active (and threatening) Nuclear Program. At this time they were buying lots of Yellowcake (mostly from France).

Pequod - As I said, facts are facts. What I stated is the truth. Wilson’s report to the CIA stated those facts. He then changed it in the NY Times. He had a political agenda. He even went so far as to claim that Cheney had sent him on the trip, when it was his wife who made that referral. The whole episode was a joke. It was the British who wanted Bush to include the nuclear threat “16 words” section in his speech. Saddam had also built a nuclear plant in the early 1980s. The threat was not something that some yahoo just imagined. Those are the facts. I’m living on Earth, you must be living in Oz!

None of this was a profile in courage on the administration’s part, but the true insanity of the situation was withheld from the public until years later, when we learned that, long before the Justice Department had appointed Fitzgerald, it knew who had leaked to Novak. Early in the investigation, deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage informed investigators that he had told Novak about Mrs. Wilson (although he left out the fact that he had also leaked to the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward). But like the savvy bureaucratic infighter that he is, Armitage kept quiet publicly, allowing the vice president’s office to take the heat for something he had done.

There should have been no referral, no special counsel, no indictments, and no trial. The “CIA-leak case” has been a travesty. A good man has paid a very heavy price for the Left’s fevers, the media’s scandal-mongering, and President Bush’s failure to unify his own administration. Justice demands that Bush issue a pardon and lower the curtain on an embarrassing drama that shouldn’t have lasted beyond its opening act.

Uncertain future: Dick Cheney Dick Cheney has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his left leg, leading to speculation he will be forced to resign as U.S. Vice-President.

The 66-year-old has a history of major health problems, including four heart attacks, and has undergone quadruple-bypass surgery.

He is a driving force in both the war in Iraq and the ‘war on terror’ and his resignation would be a huge loss to George Bush.

The vice-president is the leader of Washington’s neo-conservatives and is believed to be a dominant influence on Mr Bush’s military and foreign policies.

He is also believed to be the president’s closest political friend.

There has been widespread speculation that if Mr Cheney is unable to complete his term in office through ill health he will be replaced by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, another personal friend of Mr Bush.

Mr Cheney called in a doctor yesterday after suffering ‘discomfort’ in his calf.

‘An ultrasound test revealed a deep venous thrombosis or blood clot in his left lower leg,’ said an

official report. The vice-president has been put on blood thinning medication and has returned to work.

While the White House is trying to play down the situation, the condition is obviously serious and will again trigger speculation that Mr Cheney could be forced to resign through poor health.

Blood clots that form deep in the legs can become killers if they break off and float into the lungs.

This is called a pulmonary embolism.

He took money from a corporation after he returned to government “service”.

And his government “service” has been marred with (and this is a generous interpretation) gross incompetence and negligence.

20 years ago, how many men did you know that would have come to the aid of another guy, especially another guy that is perfectly coiffed and blow dried, rescuing him from a dressing down by a woman?

I can’t remember one.

WASHINGTON - House Democrats are pushing to add billions of dollars to President Bush’s $93.4 billion request for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, including $900 million for troops suffering from brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Republicans leave it to Democrats to adequately fund our brave men and women in uniform. The Republican do-nothings had FIVE YEARS to supply these young people with the supplies they needed to survive before they sent them into the meat grinder. Democrats are tryin to get the job done in ONE MONTH but they’ll have to fight the Republicans tooth and nail in order to ‘get er done’.

In fact, both Secretaries of State under this President have been people of color. The best Bill Clinton can say is a Secretary of Labor. Your assertion that Republicans are racist by nature makes you just as bad a Dean. You throw mud without looking at the facts or knowing the history. Without the support of Evrett Dirkson and all but four Republicans in the Senate in 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 NEVER would have passed. People like Al Gore, Sr. and Robert C.

A is for Arkansas, where Bill Clinton got his political start, where Hillary Rodham Clinton worked at Rose Law Firm, and where Whitewater began as a land deal between the Clintons and Jim and Susan McDougal. B is for Billing-gate, Hillary Clinton’s missing law-billing records. Those records — which raised questions about Mrs. Clinton’s role in the Castle Grande deal — were subpoenaed in 1994. They were missing until early 1996, when they turned up in a White House room next to her office. She says she doesn’t know how they got there. C is for Cattlegate, Hillary Clinton’s mysterious ability to turn a $1,000 investment into a $100,000 profit on cattle futures, a feat experts say was virtually impossible in normal trading. C is also for Castle Grande, a real-estate scheme that federal regulators say was a sham. A federal inspector general’s report found Hillary Clinton drew up the legal papers that were used to improperly funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to Seth Ward, father-in-law of her ex-law partner Webster Hubbell.

It is another one of your fabrications that you have a high IQ.

Hence, it is usually highly educated people who have the highest IQ’s. It is apparent that you are not highly educated. In addition, from the content of your posts it is also apparent that your cognitive function is normally at the lowest levels of most psychological scales.

Do you have any more grand “academic achievements” from when you were 12 in the 1960’s?

You obviously did not study in any science programs, because if you had, you would have a better grasp of scientific principles. But it would make sense that you were considered intelligent in junior high. Fluid intelligence (biological intelligence) peeks during the teenage years. Crystallized intelligence, the only form of intelligence that increases in adulthood, takes nurturing via higher education or occupational experience that is highly stimulating cognitively. I guess we can simply conclude that you used to have potential and that you might have made something of yourself if you had actually worked to develop your crystallized intelligence. But sadly, that was not the case and we are left with another wasted mind in the form of an obtuse republican. I’m sorry it turned out that way for you. Really.

Stalker Boy,

One more time. I am not even TRYING to read your manifestos. In other words, I am skipping right over them without reading a single word.

Crushing news, I know.

GFY.

Granny, I don’t believe that one bit. Why else would you come back on here at nearly 11:00 to address me? And if you’re really making an effort to avoid what I have to say, then that’s even more telling. I guess it’s too painful for you to hear the truth about yourself, huh? If you’re going to run away then run away. I noticed rw and mandy ran for cover tonight as well. It’s so easy arguing with people who are always wrong and always dense.

Unablogger,

This will be my second post of the entire day. Not very bright, are you?

How does one run for cover on a public blog anyway? Well unless you’re someone that changes your name all the time like Blackadder and his little sissy suicide note yesterday. Where’s your “buddy” Blowhard these days?

By the way, since you’ve been trolling around my open blog all night why are you hacking into a closed blog to nip at Buy Danish’s ankles?

What Britney Spears is to rock music, Ann Coulter is to conservatism.

Sometimes, you have to be insulting and outrageous to get your point across. Contrary to what Coulter’s fans think, though, it doesn’t necessarily work the other way. Just because you’re being nasty and insulting doesn’t mean you’re being incisive - or even making any worthwhile point at all.

Coulter supposedly prides herself on being brutally honest. It becomes obvious after listening to her for a while, though, that it’s only the brutality she cares about - the honesty is totally irrelevant.

RW,

The Unablogger is desperate for attention. His mentally ill role model got attention by writing bizarre manifestos and sending letter bombs to innocent people whom he imagined did not conform to his Luddite world view.

One Voice does it by sending virtual letter bombs with his own deranged and creepy manifestos, victimizing those who do not conform to his Socialist/Atheist “vision”.

He makes up bizarre fantasies to fill his empty life. He takes pleasure in taunting others about their deeply held (and unshakeable) beliefs. That is the behavior of a bullying sadist.

Clearly, this is not the way that caring (and sane) people behave, yet he loves to tell us that he is devoted to doing good works for mankind. The Unabomber was similarly deluded.

His imaginary family should be very concerned.

LuckoDull:

I didn’t have time to respond to your post yesterday:

(((@@: Speaking of liberal “logic,” consider how far we’ve come under their influence in the last couple of decades.)))

(((20 years ago, how many men did you know that would have come to the aid of another guy, especially another guy that is perfectly coiffed and blow dried, rescuing him from a dressing down by a woman?)))

(((I can’t remember one.)))

It reminded me of something I posted at Wooten’s the other day. Thought you might enjoy it. I give you John Edwards, “eye candy” without substance.

“Once a male bird with an elaborate courtship ritual gets started, he loses himself in his own performance, evidently. Take the female away and he doesn’t even notice her absence until he’s finished the whole show.”

Can you find John Edwards in this group?
