Kicks named asses.
Thank you. You may go now.
And if you’d like to continue to post more angry slander about the last election, how W is a dictator or coup leader, and how the blood of 5000 innocents belongs upon the hands of W and all other Republicans, feel free.
But other than outside of your little foursome circle-jerk, you ain’t winning any points, and you ain’t winning any friends.
Forgive me for not being up on everything, but … linkety-link-link?
Oy, Jack. Now I gotta re-read those threads so I can link them? I now blame you for my heartburn. 
from JDM:
Why Are Conservatives So Evil?
from curious george:
Was Bush sr. the only former pres taken to a safe place during the 9//11 attacks?
Where will Bush start a war first?
and Chas. E. and Chronolicht show off their bile in
curious george shows depth
That’s off the top of my head. I’m sure there are other little outbursts that can be pointed to.
Here’s a link for ya, JB.
The Gang of Four are a thoroughly nasty bunch with not a shred of conscience and a total willingness to lie, ignore facts, and invent spurious charges to back up their unreasoning hatred of Dubya. They are the exact left-wing version of Richard Mellon Scaife.
As a well-known Liberal around here, I would like to appologize for the actions of these self-confessed Liberals, and on behalf of the rest of us NICE Liberals, that they are an embarassment to us all, and should be forced to watch Space Mutiny.
That is all.
::don’t mind me, I’m just sitting here in the “liberal-but-not-a-fuckin-lunatic section” waiting for my white wine::
Don’t worry, Guin and Wring, I promise not to confuse you with the Gang of Four if you promise not to confuse me with Wildest Bill. 
Guin, don’t apologize for those twits. It is obvious to anyone looking that they are something far removed from simply “liberal.”
Y’know, I’ve got nothing against liberals. Uh, some of my best friends are liberals.
These four are not liberals, by any sort of semantic wrangling. They are totalitarian sociopaths, the exact mirror image of Tim McVeigh. Whether this sort of person grows up to be a right-wing sociopath or a left-wing sociopath pretty much depends on which friends they had in 8th grade. Politics is simply the justification for their previously existing sociopathy.
Deal.
Yeesh. And I thought all you lefty folks were against torture.
I am not a Friend of George (I don’t even play one in the movies); I didn’t vote for him and don’t anticipate voting for him in the future.
Having said that, I feel sorry for the guy, who has reaped quite a bit more crap than he has personally sown.
While he didn’t do anything spectacular during the campaign to save him from a possible defeat at the hands of Gore, winning under a cloud like that really sucks.
While his politics are at least partially to blame for Jefford’s defection from the Republican party, it was coincidental that it meant the Republicans losing the Senate and him subsequently getting the blame for that.
The economy was going to tank. His tax rebate was both unconscionable and stupid, and sure won’t help, but it was going to tank anyway, and people may end up blaming him simply because he was sitting in the hot seat at the time.
The terrorist attacks are going to be very expensive just from the clean-up and emergency operations alone.
And now he must do something about it…but while the possibility exists that he could come out of this looking heroic, it looks far more likely to be a nasty open-ended endeavor in which success is difficult to demonstrate, final closure even more so, and anything short of both likely to make him look ineffective and inadequate.
In short, while I don’t find him impressive as leader, policy maker, or politician, and therefore tend to anticipate un-great things from him, I also think he’s got a hell of an ugly bunch of scorpions crawling around at his feet, and it would be a difficult dance for anyone.
We’re only against it for underpriviledged minorities. Torture of imperialistic white folks is ok. (insert winkie here)
Actually, the rebate was the idea of Congress. The tax cut was Bush’s (among others) idea.
Gleefully pointing out that I am not involved in this crap, and I would like to take this opportunity to ask anyone who might be tempted to drag me into it (again! It’s been happening all week!) ** not ** to. These guys have dived right off the deep end, and so far, judging from what little I’ve read, I have not even privately agreed with anything I’ve seen them say, much less publicly.
Thanks!

hey Arden wanna split a “Baked Brie & Fruit” appetizer?
Well, see, that’s where you’re wrong. We’re against obvious torture-too immature and unsophistocated. It’s better to use SUBTLE torture, you see. It’s trickier.
You gotta watch us Leftys, Manny.
That sounds delightful, wring!
Can I join you?
BTW, I’m not a fan of George, either. But I think he’s done okay so far. I’m not with him on the “This is a crusade” thing, but the man DID tell off Jerry Fallwell-and that’s something right there.
And he did give us Colin Powell-who makes me feel VERY safe at this point.
