#4 This counter protest is important, but it's coming too late. Sheehan and her buddies have hogged the TV news for a week, including overseas. The other voices won't be heard.

We need to start making our voices heard immediately when the LLL pulls this sort of stunt.

#6 On Friday, she released a 60-second television ad running on cable channels in the Crawford area the rest of the month. The $15,000 cost was paid for by Gold Star Families, a group Sheehan co-founded

This is why the media gets no respect these days. Sheehan co-founded the group. Who founded it? Who gave them $15,000?

#7 She (Sheehan) was resting at the Crawford Peace House.

She needs to rest? Aside from her doing interviews, what else is she doing down there, training for the NYC Marathon?

#12  But Sheehan said she wants to hold the president accountable for faulty prewar intelligence that she says led to an unnecessary war.

If the prewar intelligence was faulty (and some most likely was, but not all IMO) the person who could of completely altered the course of the whole Iraq problem was Saddam himself. If he knew he didn't have any chemical or biological waeapons why was he stonewalling Blixie so much. What did he have to gain other than thinking France and Germany were going to stall Bush and Blair long enough to prevent an invasion. And how come the MSM never thinks to ask that question?

#13 "And how come the MSM never thinks to ask that question?"

Maybe for the same reason they take pains to avoid pointing out that Bush hasn't made any claims about Iraq's WMD that were significantly different from those already made by Clinton: because they're paid propagandists for the Democratic Party-- and trying to make a Republican president look bad is far more important than being truthful.

#17 Man, the quality of trolls at RB has really gone downhill lately. Used to be we got wit and intelligence or at least phosporescent bile from our trolls. Now it's just schoolyard namecalling.

No wonder the left is in such trouble.

#19 To liven things up a tad, I once began a Troll Dictionary, TrollDix, heh), but gave up as they proliferated faster than I cared to maintain the document. I haven't updated it in about 18 months. I offer it for your amusement - or feel free to edit and pick up future maintenance, lol.

1) Zerolls - truly (and occasionally willfully) ignorant, dysfunctional, classic twits; typical Moonbat toolfool

2) Baitrolls - pretends to be Zerolls to distract and obfuscate any real discussion; includes the Cambridge / Oxford pooftas and ponces

3) Appeacers - antiwar at any cost;"Not just anti-war, they're on the other side."

4) Onatrolls -
..A) self-absorbed megalomaniacal fools who post disingenuous ejaculate to impress themselves with their command of the Word Tools (Dictionary, Thesaurus, Grammar and Spell Checker)
..B) posts are seldom relevant to the topic, they're usually about themselves or whomever they are attempting to bait or trash - and attempt to build themselves up by ad hominem or faux-logic attacks on others

5) Trolljans -
..A) overtly apparently rational and reasonable, they post anti-jihadi spew, laud military, only mildy openly criticize policy and try to make that seem on-topic
..B) on the inside, when their guard drops, you find remarkably disingenuous and irrational spew; Oreo: cookies with a bile-cream center

6) Trone - droning, hari-splitting, uber-reasonable, implacable, sometimes pointless / often mindlessly centrist; defenders of the institutions obviously subverted by Moonbats

7) Turdtroll - hit and run screecher who deposts little turds – sometimes pointless drivel, sometimes LLL / DU Talking Points; Trail of Turds

8) HateTroll -
..A) simple abusive ad hominem attacker
..B) no attempt to address topic

9) ICanTypeMoreShitThanAnyoneElseAlive(ICTMSTAEA) - argumentative in the extreme, overwhelms with volume - usually large tracts of gibberish lifted from DU-style sites, logic optional

10) ConversationOfOne - ICTMSTAEA who regularly answers himself

11) Muslimozoid - non-jihadist Muslim apologist / practitioner, a True Believer with full djin dysfunction

12) Izzoid - militant jihadi Muslimozoid


TrollRoll... Examples of each type...

Thank you for this definitive troll classification system.

Is there also a category for CAPITALTROLL, one who simplistically thinks using all caps somehow makes a point, albeit not the one they had hoped for.

#21 Well, there ya go, CA - you've pointed out one reason why I gave it up, lol! "Capitrol? So many variants, so little time. You can have it, bro - just try to be fair and judicious in the taxonomy, heh. Variants on "troll" are preferred, of course. ;-)

#25 "It was a beautiful, beautiful thing," she said. "Even though he may have been a Republican, it didn't matter."

Thus demonstrating the quality of her thought process, such as it is. How many of us here at Rantburg are not Republicans of any stripe, nor even Libertarians/libertarians... or for that matter not even truly Conservative or Neocon? Not to mention that something like a quarter of the troops "out there" identify as Democrats. If those people weren't living in their makeshift tent city, they'd be protesting the whales, or the cutting down of trees, or which ever cause crossed in front of their eyes at a moment their brain cells managed to fire sequentially.

#50 Not sure how valid thi was but I heard a woman claiming to be the Aunt of Casey on a radio show this week. She said that Casey joined up to get away from mommy dearest and actually reenlisted to go to Iraq. She calimed to have gone to School with the mom and she "Didn't have a conservative bone in her body." It's easy to she why the son went in another direction and where mom is today.

That's right cornered, shot and caged her. Why hasn't measures tantamount to this (metaphorically speaking) been done yet? The blazing glaring lights of Public Opinion. I've seen it before in Tieniman Square when one lone objector stopped a multi ton tank!! Call your Senator, your Representative; have them call the local police to come a cage her(arrest),put her somewhere dark and dank so we can all sleep easier tonight.
