#1 "It is truly incredible the abject ignorance people who pose as professional journalists display in public."

I've been wrestling with this a long time, badanov: is it ignorance, or is it dishonesty? I can't make up my mind on it. The best I've been able to do, is a vague hunch that for the liberal "little people", lazy lardasses who plunk themselves down in front of the tube and watch 30 minutes of CNN a day and call themselves "informed", it's simple ignorance; but for those in front of the camera, and those actually writing the editorial pages, it's rank dishonesty.

I just don't know...

#2 This will fill Jacoby's inbox in a hurry. Speaking of Hate, I almost (but not quite) miss Maureen Dowd. Where is she vacationing, anyway? Did NYT in fact send her to St. Helena on assignment or something? I can dream. Instapundit (not me) notes a post on the Howard Dean campaign site forum blaming GWB for the Mad Cow scare and one on DemocraticUnderground forum blaming him for the Bam shaker. DU has been known to extirpate particularly egregious posts so apparently this isn't one of them. Personally I found the photochop of Marines raising an Arabic McDonald's standard on Suribachi offensive. What say, gang? Am I too sensitive?

Frankly I thank God for the DU, coz in 2004 when all this crap they have posted over the last 2 years gets reposted, and folks learn what a buncha communistically inclined pussies the left is, we can continue pushing the nation's agenda to the right with far greater ease than before.

Glenn, if you send me a link to my stavka address I will post it on my website and prepare it for the day when it can be used against the f*ckers who did post it.

No, you are not too sensitive. I think in time of war pointing out all this traitorous crap which gets posted by our political opponents needs to be brought out for all to see.

#4 Someone please remind me why I have to pay for NPR? Cut off the funding NOW and use that money to provide health coverage for the very poor. That would sent the liberals into a full fledge frenzy. If Hollywood loves this show so much let them put up the money, are there enough deep pockets out there?

#5 badanov #3 Links to what? Links to the the posts I ref'd right-click embedded in my comment. Dunno what else I could give you links to.

Anon #4 you can do as moi, $end to www.xlnc1.org instead. They don't do politics. All they do is play classical music. They have a flea-powered xmtr in Tijuana and streaming audio to Winamp or RealPlay

#6 Among the 'Travellers', they really think that what they believe, what they say, what they do is entirely justified because it's a war against fascism. We think nuts like totenberg, dowd, gorillafalo, chomsky say the kind of whacked out things they say because they're liars or stupid. While either may be true, one moreso than the other, the real truth is that they are True Believers in international communism. Which is probably worse than if they were just stupid; it's a matter of faith which is completely resistant to logic (just like the taliban). Commie fundamentalists, IOW, and fundies are usually dangerous fools.

#7 Gotta agree with 4thInVet, although I think that the Lib Left's agitprop war on TV is more about their love for Communism/Socialism/Marxism than it is a war against fascism.
Strangely, for these folks, the "3rd way" of Democracy instead of Fascism or Communism is never considered or even mentioned.
In their Leftist minds, they had almost reached the perfect Soviet state with Clinton or were well on the way with BillyJeff.
Given the fact that George W. Bush and a Conservative Congress has dealt their Marxist revolution a considerable setback (Thank God and we pray an irreversible one), they must rail against he and his American principles 24/7 which is what we get in the media.
Lenin, of course, stated that it was vital to the "revolution" to control the means of propaganda which they do.
Now, using market forces, we're blasting them out of there.
Again, thank God!
(And you forgot one of my "favorite" howling Libs: Katrina van den Whore-vel.)

#11 It's REAL amusing that you take exception to conservatives being described as Nazis, then in the next breath call all liberal Democrats Socialists/Communists/Marxists. Irony is truly dead....

#12 No NMM, it's not that all liberal Democrats are Socialists/Communists/Marxists. It's all Socialists/Communists/Marxists are liberal Democrats.

#13 Are there any liberal Democrats who actually feel offended at being called a Socialist?
