#1 Did you get everybody in there, Kenny? Of course, you know you're full of shit.

#2 Kenny may be full of the stinky stuff, but if you heard him say this (Laura Ingraham had a tape of it as I was coming to work) He sounds really pissed.

Did reality hit him in the face like a rotten mackerel? Did self-preservation finally step in to his pink brain? Only time will tell....

#3 Prob'ly did. He's prob'ly pissed.

But attention spans are short, and ideology's important, if you haven't any thoughts of your own...

#5 Funny you should ask, Frank...

Respect MP George Galloway says: "We argued, as did the security services in this country, that the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq would increase the threat of terrorist attack in Britain. Tragically Londoners have now paid the price of the Government ignoring such warnings."

You expected something else?

#6 I have a serious problem with the "Jailhouse Conversion" thingy. Red ken is a communist / socialist / apologist / symp / facilitator fuckwit.

If the NYT was bombed, tomorrow morning, sure, they'd suddenly "get it". Better yet if they blew up Arthur Sulzberg and his entire family in his home. Bad guys? Check. We're with you... now.

But I ask you: Do we then accept them? After all they have done in sympathy with killers, do we say, "Oh, okay. It became personal for you, so now you understand. You added insult to injury for the families of the fallen, both victims and armed forces. You published assholes like Ted Rall. You've fellated the jihadis and mangled the language to call them militants and insurgents - instead of terrorists. You've aided and abetted them at every turn and in every way available to you as a cornerstone of the MSM. But suuuuure. C'mon in, and welcome!"?

No. You make your choices and you get to live with the consequences. Red Ken is a Galloway-grade major fuckwit, apologist, symp, and facilitator. Conside the damage done by words. As eLarson said in another thread: civilizations are not ovethrown... they commit suicide.

That happens by loss of resolve, loss of focus, drowning in moral equivalence games. These are the results of words. They are just as deadly as bullets and bombs.

Fuck him - and them.

My $0.02.

"We argued, as did the security services in this country, that the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq would increase the threat of terrorist attack in Britain. Tragically Londoners have now paid the price of the Government ignoring such warnings."

Translation: "I'd have preferred to cower in fear waiting for the barbarians to reach the gates rather than destroying them in their lair."

#9 Did Red Ken just imply it is OK for muslims to blow up the powerful in the West, like the London mayor's office? He is truly worth sentencing to a lifetime of pentinence in Iran.

#10 And so he did, B-a-r, so he did. Now what does he do? They're not only at the gates, they're inside, blowing up constituents.

Whither now, Georgie, Ken?

#11 It seems Ken wouldn't have a problem with it if the terrorist shite had had the good socialist grace to target "presidents or prime ministers".

Thanks for your input, Kenny. Now please go cut your throat.

#13 .com, while skepticism is justified, I'm inclined to give the guy a chance to do the right thing. A convert is a convert is a convert; the prodigal son was welcomed home. Cf. Norma McCorvey; Bernard Nathanson.

"This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful; it is not aimed at presidents or prime ministers; it was aimed at ordinary working class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christians, Hindu and Jew, young and old, indiscriminate attempt at slaughter irrespective of any considerations, of age, of class, of religion..."


So were the attacks against civilians in Israel, like the ones endorsed by Yusuf al-Qaradawi (for instance).

And the Islamic terorists in Iraq have killed far more Iraqi civilians than they have American troops.

#16 I fucking despise this man - may he be infested with flesh-eating bacteria - starting with his nose.

Sorry, not very eloquent - leaving that to .com (superb piece at #6 sir!) and others, but by the Lord Harry this man is a turd, 'an attack against the working class'? - what a fucker!, this man has been a politician (aka leech on the pubic purse) since the early 80's! - superb working class credentials there Ken old son.
