What can be said, Pete, of the intellectual penetration of a man who, er, did not write all of his response, nor even attempt an original thought? It can be said that he is letting the side down, that's what.

After two generations' record, it is clear the Left's ideals deserve to go extinct. The clear-eyed not only understand this, they say so.

Now Pete, look over here closely. Do you see concern in my soul over what you -- let's for convenience call it "wrote" knowing who did the lifting -- in either eye? If you're the best the anti-conservatives could muster around here, I laugh. I laugh.

Nothing from Ted Rall, regrettable Left lunatic-fringe tassel, as of yet. Per his schedule, it's also due now.

Ted Rall's the kind of critter people sometimes write things about. Sean Hannity did not hit him in the mouth.

This conversation is why we are considering having a failed state.

UG, please look up the word satire, then have another look at both posts. I had hoped that you might see that your non-sequitors are easy to copy (and mock). The reason that most of us do not resort to such stupidity is that we prefer reasoned discourse. A skill you have yet to display.

Have you had any effect during your time here? Have you convinced even one person of the reasonableness of the right? I ask anyone who has been swayed to the right by UGs 'arguments' to step forth.

And still I wonder if you aren't really an AstroTurf shill for the Dems - your arguments are so awful.

You're right, Pete. One could exchange certain words with 'opposite' words, and I could have said the same thing right back to the illustrious UG. Only I'm not so clever.

So subtly clever that its quiet brilliance was missed by him, who knows clever.

No you and Pete clearly missed his brilliance and cleverness. I mean, I have never ever seen such awesome satire. His diction, and delivery are so well thought out and perfect it makes you truly think he believes the dribble he's spouting. It is also the deadpan serious way he writes, its hard to even catch on to the fact that he's spoofing a right wing extremist nut job. To add a cherry on top, he personalizes it by actually addressing a poster and attacking them all they while pretending he's taking the moral high ground! I roll on the floor laughing every time.

Maybe it went without saying -- but yeah. Sorta. Though likelier the blame really lies in the universal human tendency to hear not so much what somebody said, as the interior inputs of what the listener thinks and hears already -- that every received communication goes through the filter of the self before it gets anywhere near the reading-comprehension level.

It's a nuisance, as the only way to avoid it is to have no self nor memories at all. Which would be sort of like turning into a walking telephone, or other communications apparatus. Doesn't sound practical.

No your assholiness. I never said I read a post to pick a fight - thats your game.

When you read a post, you obviously tailor your response depending on who wrote it. There is no denying what kind of response your post was. You took a perfectly benign thread and sullied it with your pettiness. You did the same thing in the Unions thread.

Are you having a bad day? Cuz it seems like you came here to vent.

Do I need to go all PP on your asses?

Yes I do - Much like any type of communication.

I never denied what my post was, just to whom it was directed.
I apologized to Shel...

Now tell me why you are interjecting yourself in something thats already been resolved?

[monster]

you want to go pee-pee on my ass?

[plthijinx]

anyway! back to the matter at hand.....

With Bin Laden killed, Ayman al-Zawahri becomes the top candidate for the world's top terror job.
It's too early to tell how exactly al-Qaida would change with its founder and supreme mentor gone, but the group under al-Zawahri would likely be further radicalized, unleashing a new wave of attacks to avenge bib Laden's killing by U.S. troops in Pakistan on Monday to send a message that it's business as usual.

it will be interesting to see what he does for "retaliation" as i'm sure he'll call it.
