Holocaust denying scumbags:

“May?”
How else would 5000 corpses get into the ground, did these people all accidentally fall in the same hole in the ground and take a nap together?
The Holocaust was real, the Jews have been horrifically persecuted all through history, even today, doesn’t it suck AJC that you can’t blame anyone but the Nazis for this?

Hear your next president:
{{{“There is nothing wrong with being underestimated,” he chuckles. “I am serious about what I believe in, committed to communicating that with people, and I’ve proven I can convince them. Remember, I won every one of my races by more than 20 points in a state Clinton carried twice.” But Thompson says those tough choices shouldn’t include the tax increases contemplated in the new budget released by Senate Democrats. “The phony static accounting the government uses has obscured just how successful the 2003 tax cuts have been in boosting the economy,” he says. “Lower marginal tax rates have proven to be a key to prosperity now by Kennedy, Reagan, and Bush. It’s time millionaires serving in the Senate learned not to overly tax other people trying to get wealthy.”}}}

Yes, Mr. Bush, go ahead and pardon Scooter Libby. You have nothing to lose.
You have a 66% approval rating among the 25% of the electorate that still call themselves Republicans. It will make what is left of your base ecstatic. Go for it.
On the other hand, if you do it, it will end up as just one more campaign commercial for 2008 that displays your administrations complete disregard for the law.
As Marty Kaplan puts it, “I want Bush to pardon Libby.
I want every Republican candidate running for President and Congress to be forced to applaud Libby’s pardon and to inscribe their names alongside Scooter’s other distinguished defenders, from Rumsfeld to Bolton.
I want American history to possess forever a crystalline illustration of Cheney’s whack-ball theory of the unitary executive exempt from the rule of law.
I want the persistent presidential nullification of the Constitution to be perpetually exemplified by an unambiguous act of unmistakable arrogance.
I want Scooter Libby’s fate to be be ironically and irrevocably linked to Paris Hilton.
I want Alberto Gonzales and Orrin Hatch to have their credibility fatally and eternally compromised by their fealty to an Administration which equates savage loyalty with justice.
I want every wingnut in the blogosphere to be forced to undermine their own credibility from here to eternity by endlessly recycling their lies about Valerie Plame not being covert, and by contending — falsley, relentlessly and deliciously self-destructively — that a pardon does not presume guilt.
Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to see him do time. But even more than that, I’d love a Bush pardon to provide an incontestable X-ray of this crowd’s sclerotic soul. “
Scooter Libby was prosecuted by a Republican and found guilty by a jury of his peers for obstruction of justice. Period.
Peace
P.S. As for the trolls who will follow wondering when Valerie Plame will see jail time for whatever it is they imagine she has done – please don’t waste our time here on this blog.

Mrs. G,
Gosh, I thought you were a champion of justice.
I certainly hope that you and your loved ones never end up in a situation where you could go to jail - with a sentence beyond the sentencing guidelines - but I digress, for remembering something differently from say, Tim Russert.
If you all are so outraged that Val Pal was outed, why aren’t you calling for Richard Armitage’s head?
Why was Val’s status as a covert agent (which she was not according to the LAW) not offered as evidence during the trial, yet Fitzfong was able to use that in his closing arguments?

Well, the questions to the Rep candidates last night by CNN just made MSNBC look like partisan amateur hour. Maybe standards are slowly rising.
I saw an advertisement on CNN for a special on Hillary, Obama and Edwards talking about faith, God and such. How they believe, how it operates in their lives. I had to back up and replay.
It occurs there are many who post here are not going to have anyone to vote for in ‘08. Religious Reps. Religious Dems. But I do look forward to the equal-opportunity bashing of religious Democratic candidates.
As if those views mattered in the first place -
BTW - ML could have done the ‘toon with a “Get Out of Jail Free Card.” Instead of Libby there could have been a crowd with Armitage, Fitz, Wilson, NYT editors, Novak, etc ad nauseum. And instead of a Monopoly box it would be a Politics 101 box.

Editorial cartoons have lots of explanations - many see what they’re predisposed to see.
I take it as showing Cheney was really guilty (of what, no one’s ever explained to me) and does a handoff of any consequences to Libby. Libby then gets handed the consequences for all the illegal, against the law, violation of statute of the Bush Administration (I guess being a member of the Bush Administration constitutes a “crime” for many).
I know, that doesn’t explain “funny” - maybe in a Greek tragedy sort of way for the Bush haters.

Its both funny and sad. The point that is being made is that Libby is going to jail in Cheney’s place because Libby covered for him by lying to the investigators. So, in effect, Cheney passed off his “Go to Jail” card to Libby. Pretty simple.
No wonder geopolitics are so confusing for people like you. If you don’t get this, how could you possibly make informed choices about matters of real import? I’ll answer it for you: You can’t.

Paul,
The reason Cheney wasn’t prosecuted is because he would have claimed that he had the executive authority to release the identity of a CIA operative to whomever he wanted including the NYT. The evidence is pretty clear that Libby and Rove both leaked Plame’s name under the authority of their respective bosses, Cheney and Bush. That is why the leak itself wasn’t a crime. Libby’s mistake was lying about what he couldn’t be ultimately prosecuted for in order to protect his boss, not from criminal wrongdoing, but substantial political fallout.

Speaking of “separation between church and State”
Forget about the Constitutionally mandated separation of church and state … ——————>at least when it comes to mosque and state<—————-./When students return in the fall, the University of Michigan-Dearbornistan is set to have Muslim footbaths in at least two locations.And your tax funds are paying for it./Last week, Kay Pepin, University of Michigan-Dearborn Director of Facilities Planning, and Terry Gallagher, a U of M-Dearborn spokesman, confirmed to me that plans are in the works to build Muslim footbaths (they refer to them as “foot-washing stations”) in both the University Center and Fairlane Center buildings at the university.
{{{When I asked why the footbaths were being installed, Gallagher told me that this is “an accommodation to a significant portion of our student body and their friends and visitors in accordance with our mission.” He said that it is a growing trend with Boston University, Cal State-Fullerton, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Washington University of St. Louis, all installing footbaths. =====>”We wanted to be part of that trend in accommodating Muslim students.”<=====}}}
Who are these students?
{{{Gallagher said the foot baths are the result of “years of ongoing negotiations with =======>the Muslim Student Association.”<===== The Chicago Tribune exposed the radical Muslim Student Association (MSA) as an American branch of the Egyptian terrorist group, Muslim Brotherhood, which took part in the murder of Egyptian President Anwar El-Sadat as well as the shootings at the Temples at Luxor.}}}

g’morning, getalife
Last night did you muse about a Hillary-Ron Paul ticket, or some role for Ron Paul?
I rather think most Democrats would run screaming from anything dealing with Ron Paul. He ran as a Republican after getting defeated as a Libertarian. He votes according to principle, not special interests. He’d abolish the Federal Reserve, most government agencies, return to the gold standard, defer to states for most social policy, views Roe V Wade as a horrible decision by the Court for the role of states, and in general wants the Federal gov’t to stay out of most peoples’ lives if it’s not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
But he is interesting in that he mixes things up. I don’t think the Dems have a counterpart - that ex-Senator from Alaska is pretty much a one-note wonder on Iraq.
Are you sure you didn’t mean RuPaul, not Ron Paul, as the last, greatest hope for Democrats in ‘08?

More on the University of Michigan’s (and other foolish “institutions of higher learning” accomodation of terrorists, via the “Muslim Student Association”.
Gallagher insists that he’s confident that “none of our Muslim students is involved in terrorism.” But last year, I received numerous death, rape and torture threats against me, my parents, and grandparents from University of Michigan-Dearborn student Lola Elzein, a Lebanese Shi’ite Muslim. Ms. Elzein was visited by the FBI and admitted to making the threats. Mohammed Fouad Abdallah, another Lebanese Shi’ite Muslim, used University of Michigan-Dearborn computers to send me rape, torture, and death threats in the name of Hezbollah. His home was raided by four FBI agents, and he admitted to making the threats.//And last week, Syed Maaz Shah—a student who was Secretary of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Texas-Dallas—was convicted of illegally possessing firearms when he attended a Muslim terrorist training camp and sought to kill Americans.

Hey, Moron 10:31
Interesting view. Reclassification authority rests with the Chief Executive - not the VP. The leak/confirmation/information wasn’t a crime because there was no violation of statute. Agreed. I’m not speaking of whether or not it was good, bad, political, immoral, consequental or not - just that the actions did not meet the test of violation of statute, which I think Fitz knew within the first month. Same reason Fitzgerald didn’t prosecute Armitage (of whom he was aware as the source from the start) - there was no violation of law.
I’ll agree about Libby - but “lying?” I’ve said before, my opinion (not fact) is Libby & company wanted to discredit Wilson by showing the only reason he was selected for the Niger mission was not his credentials (soft) but because he was recommended by his wife, who happened to work at CIA. Then Wilson went public with “hey, she just doesn’t work there, she’s a covert agent” and Libby, VP and all said “oh, s**t” and went into damage-control mode. For something, as you said, they couldn’t be prosecuted for - but they didn’t know that. And the guy was a lawyer who’d been up against Fitzgerald for years (Fitz was on the team prosecuting Marc Rich that got short circuited in part by Libby’s efforts). So while one can make the case more than Libby were involved, it was a lot of dirty politics (oxymoron?).

Of course there was an obvious “goal” in this cartoon. I don’t think “fantasy”, or undocumented facts and assumptions are humorous even for the political purpose of presenting them as truth.
Luckovich follows the Democratic rule of ethical engagement. If it knocks the Bush administration, anything goes and I mean “anything”.

More examples of demands by Muslim women for special treatment - all from that right wing rag USA Today:
• In Lincoln Park, Mich., Fitness USA relented when Muslim women demanded that the gym wall off a co-ed aerobic center from their women-only section because men could see them working out.
• In Bridgeview, Ill., a Muslim school says it wants its girls’ basketball team to play road games against non-Muslim schools provided the public schools ban men and teenage boys from the game.
• In North Seattle, Wash., a public pool set up a swim time for Muslim women in which men, even male lifeguards, are banned.
I’m standing by Walid Phares. How many of you Dhimmis want to stand with Ebrahim Moosa?
Walid Phares, a professor of Middle East studies at Florida Atlantic University, sees it as an early sign in the USA of a global Islamic movement to pressure Western society into abiding by Islamic laws.//”These demands exist because there is an ideology of a militant movement to slowly but surely demand more,” Phares says. “They will be building on it.”//Phares says the conservative Saudi branch of Islam, known as Wahhabism, is trying to assert itself as representation all Muslims in the USA and makes demands most Muslims disagree with.//But Ebrahim Moosa, professor of Islamic studies at Duke University, says the requests are attempts to integrate with U.S. culture. They show “that America can become their home,” he says.

I am not suggesting that we should make clitorectomies legal. All I am saying is that we should avoid dehumanizing our fellow man as much as possible. History shows that when one group looks at another as animals and uses language that suggests that the other group is somehow less than human that it results in much violence. It is a tacit of many in Palistine and Arabia in what are called madrasses and sometimes even on the public airways in those areas. (This is where the Borat jokes about Jews with tails and horns have refernce.)
We should first and foremost understand. Second, we should respect that which we would expect the other group to respect in us. Third, we should, when and where possible, in a constructive and not demeaning way modify those behaviors that our evolving standards of decency suggest ought to be modified.
We enslaved tens of thousands of Africans because it was felt that they were lesser humans. We killed millions of Native Americans because it was thought that they were savages. Let’s try to avoid going down that road again. At least we should ignore those who try to send us in that most unfortunate direction.

But, be warned, if you say something false, you will be sucked into the mirror to live in a void of nothingness for all eternity!”

BUSH GETS CODED MESSAGE FROM OSAMA BIN LADEN After numerous rounds of ‘We don’t even know if bin Laden is still alive’, bin Laden decides to send George W. a letter in his own writing to let him know that he is still in the game. Bush opens the letter and sees only a coded message: “370HSSV-0773H”. He can’t figure it out, so he asks Karl Rove. Rove suggests that the head of the CIA would certainly understand code, so Bush sends it to George Tenet. Tenet, however, can’t figure it out, either. He suggests, “How about Condi? She has a doctorate, that means she’s smart.” But Dr. Rice is baffled, too. As Bush is pondering the mysterious message lying on the desk before him, Colin Powell enters the Oval Office. When he sees the paper and reads what is written on it, he asks, “Sir, where did that come from?” Bush replies testily, “Supposedly it’s a message from Osama bin Laden. But what the hell does ‘370HSSV-0773H’ mean?” Powell clears his throat and replies, “Mr. President, I think you’ve been looking at the message upside down.”

I will take someone who by their own thinking would go hide from any war more than i would someone that joins the military but has no inclination of ever serving their country. Look at McCain, he served years as a POW yet in 2000 the GOP machine said he was crazy because of the torture he endured. Yep makes your party look real good to have a fake pilot say that about a real pilot and a member of your own party……

Last night you made reference to Vermont wants to secede. Today at lunch I skimmed thru yesterday’s BOR. First up was the Dr who’s leading the movement. Quite a guy. Second up was the woman in charge of Code Pink. BOR asked her about the organization, about how it’s going now that Cindy Sheehan’s left (volunteered CS felt betrayed by Democrats). Next up was Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame to pitch his book about Hillary - seven years in the making, lots of personal stuff. BOR’s questions (most) were “why should we care about her personal life? Weren’t you troubled by the things you wrote? What does it matter?”
Had to cut the review short. I don’t know what was on MSNBC or Comedy Central (I was watching CNN), but the good Dr, Ms Code Pink and Carl Bernstein (neocons? Spinmeisters? radical nuts? Bush lovers?) were given time to present their views and I learned a bit.

It seems the AP got it wrong Getalife; or did they?
(((Reports that several thousand Turkish troops crossed into northern Iraq on June 6 appear to be false alarms. However, Turkey is likely to carry out a limited operation in northern Iraq at some point since Ankara faces building domestic pressure to root out Kurdish rebels.)))
(((If the AK Party can get the Kurds in Iraq to cooperate and act against the PKK, it will have an easier time justifying its reluctance to approve a Turkish troop incursion.)))
There’s gotta be something in it for the Kurds. Whaddya think the U.S. and Iraq could offer the Kurds to act against the PKK?
(((Anything more than a few helicopter gunships or light attack aircraft sprinting across the border for less than 15 minutes or so will draw the attention of U.S. combat air patrols. over Iraq. For such an operation to take place, there would have to be an agreement with the United States that U.S. troops in Iraq would turn a blind eye.)))

Well of course I’m a sinner. So are you.
Jesus said…”And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6
Nor am I going to assume or predict that the end is near.
Did you know that when we invaded Iraq there were already 33 other wars currently under way around the world? Did you know that there have been 150 wars fought since WWII ended?
Did you know that during the last 4,000 years there have been only 286 years of peace despite more than 8,000 peace treaties?
Were you equally as troubled by all those OTHER wars, or is it just Bush’s war on terror?
Wars suck, but as horrible as they are, the outcome of war can be good if the victor exalts righteous principles, and I do believe that our military and the coalition forces exalt those principles.

@@,
The problem with this war isn’t personalities or party politics. The problem is that nobody in a decision making position thought through the distinct possibility that the mission as set out was unattainable and that the ultimate end could be quite worse than the problem we were trying to solve.
After Vietnam we went through a long period where, in the context of war, the main points of discussion were: Is the mission attainable? and What is our exit strategy? Unfortunatly we forgot the lessons of Vietnam.
We are throwing money and troops at a problem that we simply are in no position to solve. The Iraqis are going to decide the outcome of this whether it be next week, next year or in 10 years. The only question that remains is how many of our kids are going to die postponing the inevitable blood-letting that we put into motion.
It is a sad and difficult thing to say, but as a country we screwed up and a lot of people are going to die because we tried the impossible, but I sincerly would rather the Iraqis kill each other than continue to kill our guys. Al Qaeda is an ally of convienence for some of the fighters there. Once we clear out the Iraqis with deal with them…harshly.
Ask yourself: What is success? How can we get there? Why should our kids suffer while the Iraqis refuse to solve their political differences? Under what circumstances can we leave knowing the job is done? You can’t realistically or logically answer those questions because the solution is in the hands of others outside of our control who have no motivation to give in.
I agree with Bush that the only way to achieve anything in Iraq is to stay there like we have in Korea. We’ve been there for nearly 60 years, but we are guarding a border and our guys aren’t getting killed on a regular basis. Indefinite commitment is the only way. Are we willing to do that? Why? Do you want to see troops coming back in body bags in 2025 still trying to keep the Shia from killing the Shiite?
I, for one, say no damn way. We need to get out and try to re-learn the lessons of the past.

10 aged white males on stage. About as much diversity, in appearance AND thought, as the GOP had back in the 50s. At least one of them, McCain, isn’t completely spineless. And all of them, other than Ron Paul, are very confused about whether to pretend to be different from W or not!
Does anybody else think Rudy and Hillary are eerily similar - smooth talking NY politicians that are not even remotely trustworthy?
Brownback and Romney both scare me. They look and act a little too nice, if you know what I mean! And Duncan Hunter just acts way too Aryan for me!
Tancredo speaks about the true Karl Rove and people in the party think that’s a bad thing! Typical.
Great History Lesson. Incredible how when Clinton first proposed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Pursue, Don’t Harass” very early in his first administration, the repubs and Nunn went ballistic that he would even let the sodomites serve!
As usual they were so blinded by their “compassionate conservatism” that they couldn’t even see that it was a great compromise. Now what are they saying? Oh, it’s the law of the land and a good one! No need to change it! Just like neo-cons - 15 years behind!
(BTW, I agree with the part of the policy that requires gay, lesbian and bisexual service members to keep their sexual orientation secret and refrain from same-sex sexual conduct.) Tolerance is very different from endorsement.
Speaking of slow learners, I heard a great line today. We don’t need another OJT president. Mr. Bush, I think they’re talking about you.

Everyone asked said they believe in Jesus as their savior and only a couple begrudgingly think evolution isn’t a crock. And that may well be just to get some “centralist” Republican votes, if there are any left.
ONLY Tancredo had the temerity to insuate, via implicating Karl Rove that he didn’t George Bush was a GREAT president. The others essentially think he is, just a little off on this Iraq thing. Funny that NONE would use him in any real capacity after he’s gone though!

Well Moron, the Vietnam war was cancelled not lost. If you read any historical accounts of the Indochina conflict, you’ll learn that South Vietnam was able to defend itself for a full two and a half years AFTER the U.S. pulled our troops out. It was only when the Democrats cut ALL FUNDING (something that they’ve been threatening to do in Iraq) that the South Vietnamese fell to the NVA.
The rest is THE HISTORY that concerns me most. The statistics on the democide that occurred after Indochina was abandoned ARE staggering. More Vietnamese died AFTER the fall of Saigon than in the prior decade of fighting.
I read recently that those in Iraq who have been helping the coalition forces are begging…BEGGING our troops to bring them to the U.S. if we pull out before their security forces are operational.

Boobs: The sadness is that if people like you don’t learn the lesson of VietNam you will continually make the same mistakes. Of course, you will send other peoples kids to die and make war against innocent people on borrowed money. We’re now close to 3500 American dead and hundres of thousands of innocent people. Do you accept responsibility for this? No, I didn’t think so.

This should really make you Useful Idiots like “Funny Morons” angry.
FDR’s D Day prayer on the eve of the Normandy Invasion. It begins like this:
My Fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far./And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer: Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.//Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
I recommend listening to the recording of his voice to get the full effect as the prayer was delivered to the nation.

@@: Never mind Dhimmi Danny, he’s in to being subservient to other cultures, surrendering to Vietnam after we kicked their behinds was a high point for him.
Can’t you sense his excitement even talking about it?
You are absolutely right, the democrats gained control of the government in the early seventies and then promptly abandoned a long term ally of ours, one that they had made many two faced promises to.
It was a classic pinko back stabbing, the South was nearly autonomous and fighting on it’s own, the libs turned them over to the communists whole.
This is the very reason why we must work so hard to keep these POS from ever gaining control of our country while the war on terror is being fought.
The little pervs are probably hard as a rock thinking about kneeling before Islam.
Cowards.

how can you possibly devote this much time to editorializing on the internet. I hope you’re making income off this because if not, you’re one poor sack of s.

Very good editorial cartoon. Succinct and on point. I like the way you captured Cheney’s callousness and Libby’s mindless acceptance of whatever is handed him.
