  1. Main club in GOP bag, the persopnal insult on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    When neo-cons have no evidence to support their far right wing positions, they pull out their main weapon, the personal insult.

    They know they can't win through logic and reasoning, so they resort to trying to be louder and ruder.

    By the way, Occam left a message for you. If the roulette wheel comes up red 3,4,5 times in a row, it's probably a coincidence. If it comes up red 600-700 times in a row, the roulette wheel is fixed. When "coincidences" always break one way, someone is tilting the table to make sure it happens that way. 60,000 recorded voting irregularities recorded in Ohio. 60,000 benefiting Bush.

    Occam says take his razor away from you before you hurt yourself with it.

  2. Re:BUSH just stated exit polls trump actual voting on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Don't call me a troll when I caught you attempting to fake a blog post exit poll number and pretend it was a real exit poll figure. The properly weighed exit polls were up on CNN's website all election night, showed a Kerry win. The only wild numbers were the blog number distortion you tried to introduce to the discussion.

    IF you are going to invade and occupy a country, you have to have the troops to both assault, and to later hold teritory. US forces are sufficient to take any area in Iraq, but we cannot hold anything consitantly but about 2/3s of Baghdad. The rest of Iraq keeps on getting rotating assaults, where the enemy forces melt away before the attack, and move back in after the forces leave. You should only have to fight for a territory once. We've taken Iraq 2 to 3 times over now. The same think we did in Vietnam. We never lost a single battle in the whole Vietnam war, yet we lost the war. Why? We didn't have the troops to hold and guard territory after we took it. There's no point in assaulting an objective if you are going to have orders cut for the force to leave in two weeks and leave no garrison forces behind sufficent to continue to keep the enemy out of the objective.

  3. Name 1 industry entry level sets corporate policy. on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    You can't. You know it's ludicrous to even suggest that the entry level employees of any industry set corporate policy.

    The corporate CEOs and boards set the editorial policy and hire the editors to follow their editorial policy. They editors assign what stories will and will not be covered. The editors go over every single word of every story before it ever get broadcast or printed. The corporate media want to get bigger and continues to act in it's self interest by supporting the political far right.

    So, you think morale is more important than telling the TRUTH. It's okay for your govenment to lie on an issue not involving state secrets as long as it gets a small advantage for your government. I'll remember you think that way. It's not okay for MY govenment to lie to me about the truth.

    Kerry by 20 in PA? Ridiculous. Your quoting what a couple of blogs posted. CNNs properly weighed exit polls that were up all night election night showed showed Kerry leading PA, but a lot closer than that riduculous number you pulled off a blog to distort the truth.

    Right now, Republicans think even John McCain and Alan Spector are "liberally biased" so it's a wee bit ridiculous to accept any of their definitions on any subject. Here's some historical context. Dwight Eisenhower's top income tax rate was 87%. Goldwater did not offer any suggestions of cutting the top tax rate in his 1964 campaign against Johnson. Nixon's top income tax rate was 60%. Bill Clinton's was 39 1/2%.

    That's right. Economically, Bill Clinton was way to the RIGHT OF BARRY GOLDWATER.

  4. BUSH just stated exit polls trump actual voting on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Remember those exit polls the Bush State Department used aas proof of election fraud in Ukraine?

    Ohhhh....look at the republican squirm when American fatalities are mentioned. Fatalities caused by piss poor planning and execution of a military occupation by the Commander-in-Chief. All the casualties are the Commander-in-Chief's fault. The coffins. The beheadings. The burned contractors. ALL OF THEM. You cannot occupy a country the size of Iraq with a for ce that small. The Pentagon told Bush that, and Bush ordered the campaign started anyway. The situation is going to hell in handbasket in Iraq just like it did in Vietnam... for the same reason as Vietnam. NOT ENOUGH TROOPS ON THE GROUND.

  5. Been that long since you got good head at home? on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    The only reason Republicans hate Clinton so much is because he got head that they don't get. Republican wives are to pious to do anything but lay still on their back in the dark in silence for a proper missionary mounting.

  6. Rove knew someone would use them on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Rove had them produced knowing the issue would come up, and eventually turn to the charges made by this individual in question. The statements had been on the record since the 2000 election.

    AgainThe proof was the list of names serving on that unit's roster. The whole unit was full of the children of the most privileged Texans. Sons of the most wealthy. Superstar athletes. It was the champaign unit of champaign units. The only way anyone got in was through favors. Rove didn'tknow that 60 Minutes would be the convenient patsy. He just knew someone out there would do it.

    Unlike you republicans who believe any stupid suggestion a snakehandler orders you to believe in without question, progressives understand that nobody can have all these "coincidences" always benefit someone. This many "conincidences" in a row means the "coincidences" are being arranged.

    Republicans lie, lie a lot, and lie badly... even when it's unnecessary.

    That's their biggest weakness. They just can't stop.

  9. Re:You mean, blogger's biggest distraction on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    The only person in that drama that has been documented as having created evidence was Karl Rove. Rove was the one who was Donald Segretti's right hand man....

    "The aggressive tactics won the 22-year-old Rove a walk-on role in the Watergate saga that was consuming the nation. A report was published in the Washington Post on August 10, 1973, titled "[Republican party] Probes Official as Teacher of Tricks", gave an account, based on tape recordings, of how Rove and a colleague had been touring the country giving young Republicans political combat training, in which they recalled their feats of derring-do, such as Rove's Chicago heist at the Dixon headquarters."

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/ 0, 13918,1165126,00.html

    Everyone knew Bush's Guard record would come up. Rove is the one with documented evidence of dirty tricks in his biography.

    When money is stolen in a room, you ask the guy in the room who went to prison for robbery about the whereabouts of the money first. Standard investigative training.

  10. You mean, blogger's biggest distraction on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    The story had all the facts right. Dubya did get preferential treatment to get in the Guard to get out of Vietnam.

    Oh... yeah... you forgot about that, huh?

    Spare us the Rush talking points, neo-con boy. The media does the bidding of the corporate owners of the media, not the political point of view of the way it's entry level employees tend to lean.

    The corporate media pretended the United States was the only country in the world where exit polls don't work. Explain again how the laws of math change when you cross into US territory?

    Only FAUX News would call coverage casualties of war "leftist."

    Are you THAT locked into their paradigm of thinking?

    What do you need all those quests for anyway? You just need at least two opposing forces and an experience reward for defeating an opponent.

    Maybe you have a few quests for special items, but regular conflict should resemble real conflicts.

  13. I didn't realize WARS were such a trade secret. on World of Warcraft Gamespot GOTY 2004 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

  14. Quests are same old courier/corpsepile stuff on World of Warcraft Gamespot GOTY 2004 · · Score: 1, Troll

    I was really looking forward to WoW until I got to play the beta. It became obvious in the beta that WoW was almost the same crud as every other MMORPG. There's still no overarching plot that MMORPG players can participate in and affect. I certainly wouldn't give out Game of the Year honors to a game with only some refinement on previous games and nothing innovative in it.
