| They're not antiwar -- just on the other side: Exhibit #532 |
| 2005-07-16 |
| Originally posted by "trevino" at RedState; hat tip to Kathy "Relapsed Catholic" Shaidle. Minor EFL-ing. Markos Moulitsas[ Zuniga, influential Democratic Party operative and website proprietor, also known as "Kos"]: Margaret Cho isn't just a comedienne, and a damn funny one, but she's also an activist -- for progressive politics, for equality under the law for all Americans....I admire Margaret, more than anything, for her unwillingness to step down. To keep fighting even despite all efforts by the Right to shut her down. To use humor to point out the absurdities of the Right Wing and their attempts to impose their "morality" on the rest of the country. Margaret Cho[, plus-sized Korean-American "entertainer" and "activist," also (should be) known as "the Hangul Hippopotamus"]: [My new dog] Gudrun is named after the infamous Gudrun Ensslin who was the female leader of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, an art terrorist group from the 70s. Terrorism was different then. It had a chicness to it, which made it seem less like a dangerous menace and more like To quote Kathy Shaidle, "Hey, at least she didn't name it 'Dinner.'" Gudrun Ensslin. The Red Army Faction, AKA the Baader-Meinhof Gang. Slaughterers of scores. Chic art figures of the American left's pop cultural icons -- who are in turn themselves admired by the animating personalities of the modern Democratic Party. A minor point, naming one's dog after a terrorist, and lauding those who do? Yes. But a helpful reminder nonetheless of a phrase worth remembering: they're not antiwar -- just on the other side. |

| #9 "Art" terrorists, my ass. Maybe if the stupid bitch had seen the destruction, known those injured and killed, felt the bomb her heroine helped set to blow V Corps Headquarters in Frankfurt am Main - as I did - she might not think it's so cool. But being the leftist twit that she is, she probably would. Hell, in that case she'd probably get two more dogs and name them Andreas [Baader] and Ulrike [Meinhof]. This loon - and others of her ilk - is beyond help. I hope she gets to meet people like her "chic" terrorists - and personally gets a taste of their handiwork. |

| #6 They desire the same outcome Phil, and many are prepared to kill you and me to get it. Ask my friends, I don't kill easy. |

| #5 This is yet another item to add to the pile, along with FARC and the pIRA aiding the terrorists in Iraq... More and more these days, I'm worried that the main ideology we're facing is leftism, and part of the time it masquerades as Salafism instead. |

| #4 We luv it when the left speaks. Everytime the left speaks Rush Limbaugh puts their words on the radio. We love free speech 'specially when the left is speaking. I'm not so sure about that Margaret Cho as a comedienne. That's kinda funny in and of itself. |

| #2 'To keep fighting even despite all efforts by the Right to shut her down.' Oh contraire the right supports and encourages her to say any stupid things she wishes. When she and her other LLL get together at a MoveOn, Code Pink, etc event I want it televised live so that the American public can see them in full ranting splendor. And make Margaret the MC of ALL events or maybe she can trade with Whoopie? I just want one time for assholes like Kos who make such statements to back them up with something. Such as they tried to shut her down by _________. Just fill in the blank once and I would be happy. Claiming that you are being âshut downâ all the while CSPAN shows a different rally each day doesnât square with me. |
