[Here’s proof](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=256423) Hey, why is everybody dogging **Sam Stone, Brutus and milroyj**? Surely they are vile enough to merit their own thread? Don’t you see this is how the right wins? They try to sneak by some stupid, outlandish shit. When normal people notice it they start distracting us with equally stupid and outlandish “spokesmen”. FOCUS PEOPLE!!! ---

milroyj: How about the 9000+ civilian casualties we’ve had in Iraq since the start of the war? Not bad for just over a year. ---

And I do support our troops. It’s you and your ilk that don’t. You don’t give a damn whether they live or die. As long as Bushco says they should go. Fuck you asshole. ---

So, you must be completely against the invasion of Iraq, right? The WMD reason didn’t pan out, so the reason then became freeing the Iraqi people from Saddam’s rule. But if you don’t care about them, that reason doesn’t work either. Do you have a third reason, or are you now against the invasion? (Maybe you were against it from the beginning, I don’t know.) ---

I got through the first dozen posts or so actually thinking you were talking about the guy who wrote The Baketball Diaries. I doubt our James Carroll is the real James Carroll. ---

> [@milroyj](#): > > Support President Bush And Our Troops Speaking on behalf of our troops; I’m sure they’d much rather be home than be out in the desert looking out for IEDs on the side of the road A bumper sticker and a random post on a message board are literally the least you could do to support the troops.

Woo hoo! It’s **Reeder** vs. **milroyj** in the brain-dead smackdown of the decade! I’ll give 3:2 on **milly** , primarily because he seems to be capable of stringing together two and three sentences worth of inanities per post, which simply cannot be overwhelmed by **Reeder** ’s incessant use of the oh-so-retarded “Bushco.” Please, by all means, a bitch-fest to the death. ---
