Not surprisingly, this [percentage] correlates very closely to support for the war. In other words, only the moron dead-enders who still believe Iraq had anything to do with 9-11 continue to support the war. If they insist on clinging to the fiction of Saddam's involvement, they ain't gonna change their minds on the war itself. All rational human beings have concluded it's time to get the heck out.Yes, you are the rational one, comforting yourself with made-up ideas that everyone who doesn't agree with you must be irrational. But I don't think Saddam was personally involved in the 9/11 attacks, and I support the war. I'm sure General Petraeus doesn't think Saddam was personally involved, and Petaeus -- who knows a bit more than you -- supports the war. I think there are many others.
And then there are plenty of ill-informed people, and my guess is that a lot of them are against the war because they've gotten the feeling things aren't going well and notice that opposing the war seems to be what people are doing these days. I don't think they're "morons," but many of them are probably of below-average intelligence, and I'll bet quite of few of them heard the Saddam question and bumbled into a "yes" answer.
And why are lefties so illiberal about the less-smart and less well-educated citizens? [ADDED: I'm not saying all lefties do this, but that the ones who do are betraying their values.] Aren't these the people you act like you care about when you propound your various policies? Why are you calling people "morons"? Do you not concern yourself with mentally retarded persons and their families? I'm too politically correct to call you a "moron," but I will say that your reasoning is off and your self-flattery is embarrassing as you lazily conclude that the same 33% of Americans believe each of the things that you do not.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 244 of 244I'm glad to have spent the evening watching football, doing dishes and helping my daughter with Algebra. I can't party like I used to.
Dieter wants desperately to party like it's 1999. I mean really.
Dieter wants desperately to party like it's 1999. I mean really.
I think he really just wants someone to pet his monkey.
Actually, he wanted to party like it was 1939.
And the ribbon goes to Trooper!
Lot of comments, so I'll be brief.

Because these lefties are evil.
I could go on, but it would boil down to the same thing and I promised to be brief.
Wow, quite the vortex.
I am still waiting with baited breath(had a tune sammich) on the quote and source showing that Gen Petraeus or even GW Bush said Saddam was involved in the 9/11 attack. Because that hasn't been supplied yet, despite the hallucinations of DTL.
I hope that it can be supplied without any lefty screeching or invitations to perform sex acts.
But, I doubt it.
And why are lefties so illiberal about the less-smart and less well-educated citizens?
Because The Left Doesn't Really Believe in the Things They Lecture Us About. Being liberal is no longer about tolerance or having an open-mind, its about feeling you are tolerant and open-minded, like wearing a hip-hop sexy cool brand. Most lefties claim liberalism because it makes them feel good about themselves and gives them something to be self-righteous about.

Thanks for reminding me. That was another problem about last night - getting the Ben and Jerrys off the drapes.
David53,
Show me a "question" posed by someone that I ignored.
You're full of shit.
The "left."
People like Hagel?
LOS:
Ok, you finally woke up, found your underwear under Simon, got dressed, went home, showered and soaped that grease off your sphincter, caught a few hours of sleep and finally the headache is starting to go away but only after drinking the whole jar of Tang in the pitcher of ice water. Two cups of coffee and you feel ready to go at it again.
You know, however, that the proper thing to do is to go back to the party house, and offer to help take out the garbage and pay for the broken window. The hostess declines your offer, nicely, however, but she thinks you still stink of last night's sex and cigarettes, and she really wants you out of the house.
So you go back home, and try to decide whether you need to apologize to the rest of the partygoers. A little later you realize apologies may not be necessary because, well, everyone knows that's just the way you are.
John,
Do you have any of those meds for sale?
Talk to Sloan, Fen, Seven & Pogo...they're in need.
Based on this gibberish from little Johnny...no wonder the Republicans are in trouble.
LOS
Still need meds after last night? You are quite right about the others, but you need to include DTL in that list.
And, truth be told, I only wrote what I did because I am bitter I wasn't invited to last night's party, cause it sure sounded like fun. All those blowjobs, god how did you keep it up for so long? I guess you werent drinking as much as it appeared, because you know what that does to your performance.
Apologies for underestimating you.
John,
Sorry, you got the wrong dude.
It's Dick who gives.
I only receive.
Give him a call, I'm sure he'll accommodate.
*Do you cross-dress, too? Sloan likes men who look like women.
And with that lovely bit, lets all agree to close the post.
Besides, its time for me to lie down and let the meds to their work.
LOS,
You only wish I gave. Not a chance.
You are just trying to sublimate you feeling of loneliness because nobody will play any of your silly games.
Hey...DICK...and I do mean...DICK!!!
Sorry, it was Palladian who like to blow people.
I get you wingnuts confused sometimes...you ALL sound the same.
Maybe if you were to...read?
Petraeus: I Need Another 6 Months...
Crocker: "I Can't Give You Any Timelines, Dates, Or Guarantees"...
Bush To Keep 130,000 Troops In Iraq A Year From Now...
Petraeus: "I Don't Know" If Iraq Policy Makes US Safer
Well, now we know.
LOS,
I thought we closed this thread. Anyway, you are speaking in an empty room - just me here now. And I'm all wacked out from the pills.
So now, finally, you can be what you always thought you were: the smartest man in the room. Isnt it kinda lonely? How about that echo?
Little Johnny...why can't you just leave me...alone?
Maybe if you could bend over...just a tad more...you could avoid meeting Palladian later on tonight.
Did you know Sloan's double jointed?
Dog Charlie Fox come in over. Yes, Commander Althouse, we need an air strike on this pos. Expedite and I do mean expedite. The moonbats are in the wire.
"And why are lefties so illiberal about the less-smart and less well-educated citizens?"
Ms.Althouse, Atleast in my experience, lefties love the poor and the illiterate only in theory. Not in practice.
LOL -
"Little Johnny...why can't you just leave me...alone?
But can't you see, you are alone - really alone. I said so earlier, and also admitted you were smarter than me (Don't pay attention to Hoosier Daddy, he will leave too soon enough).
I clicked on your blog to try to find some reasons for your peculiar fixations. I think I found it:
"Pogo stretching out onto Fen's face."
I didnt know. Now I do. Have you talked this over with Pogo and Fen?
Anyway, since I concur you are a much smarter fellow, lets stop the bickering an agree to meed again in a future thread. Perhaps one with less name calling.
I liked this thread a lot better when Dieter was here, telling us what losers we are, before the anti-homoseexual left got hold of it.
Thought this would be an interesting thread, what with 227 responses so far, until I noticed Luckyoldperson made made at least 1/2 of them. Bleh.
Little Johnny...I also took a look your profile and geeeee, much like other gutless fucks here...you don't have a one.
What are you afraid of?
Chickenshit.
Seven Machos said..."I liked this thread a lot better when Dieter was here, telling us what losers we are, before the anti-homoseexual left got hold of it..."
Seven, just because Sloan's a bad lay...why take it out on others??
*Oh, and what exactly is a...homoseexual?
One that can "see" what's happening?.
Crocker: "Iraq is dysfunctional."
Who here supports this insanity?
SOMEONE here has to have a fucking brain.
Speaking of gutless cocksuckers...
...where id Dick Cheney these days??????
chip,
Fuck off, chickenshit.
Chippy,
I just visited your web site...and I'll lay odds Larry Craig wants your phone number.
Come on, Althouse. This is embarrassing.
LOS,
Congratulations: you are on your second 24-hour period posting to this thread. And it does look like you are responsible for at least half the posts. Noble effort, although your wrists must be aching by now.
You remind me of a person my son encountered playing Halo. That person claimed he had played for 70 hours straight. What a guy. No life, but he really didnt need one anyway.
And you are right again - I have nothing on my blog. I get a little paranoid that someone would have the ability to hack into it and steal any personal information, drive cross country and stalk me (or in your case, stalk me and try to bugger me).
That said, you should probably remove the Pogo-Fen remark from your blog, before you get a restraining order from one of them.
So now I have acknowledged that have been right twice today. You should feel pretty good about that.
Regards,
John
LOS
I meant to say "Now I have acknowledged that you have been right twice today"
Regards,
Little Johnny
seven,
YOU'RE embarrassing.
Asking your "mommy" to protect you??
And gutless.
Johnny,
Get lost.
LOS,
Are you really Jack McClellan? Comon, you would tell us, right? You live in CA. Seems to fit otherwise.
Yours,
Johnny
Ann,
I am sorry. This is the last time I post here. It started out as a ribbing, but I think it turned into aiding and abeting.
When I was little some neighbor boys used to pick on the retarded kid down the block. Now it seems like I've joined in.
Sincere apologies to all who I have annoyed and bothered.
John
Oh, little Johnny...we hardly knew ye.
I'll miss you.
We all will.
Good luck.
Farwell.
Adios.
Say la ve.
And, please...don't let the door hit you in the ass.
NEWSWEEK has learned that a separate internal report being prepared by a Pentagon working group will “differ substantially” from Petraeus’s recommendations, according to an official who is privy to the ongoing discussions but would speak about them only on condition of anonymity. An early version of the report, which is currently being drafted and is expected to be completed by the beginning of next year, will “recommend a very rapid reduction in American forces: as much as two-thirds of the existing force very quickly, while keeping the remainder there.”
What on earth are you people talking about? I'm not the babysitter, you know. You have to do some self-monitoring. Name-calling and feeding trolls goes nowhere, and it can't be my job to clean up after explosions like this.

My heroine.
First - I didn't read any of the previous commments. I came on this thread just this morning (9/15) and don't have the time.
Second, I absolutely agree with Ann's comments in her original post.
Like it or not, the Democrats and Republicans parties are selling a product. Their product is multi-parted and offers an opportunity for a wide range of opinions.
Imagine you are a seller of expensive running shoes and a customer walks into your store. Would you try to convince him/her of the merits of your shoes and why they are worth the considerable financial committment they would have to make to them or would you say "Moron, your choice of jackets tells me that you aren't particularly bright. Do what I tell you and buy the shoe."?
Why then does then do so many Democratic pundits assume that those who don't agree with them absolutely on every point are ignorant of all points?
