@ miguel cervantes:So you think that the 18-20% who believe Obama to be a you-know-what is because of ill-framed questioning and that it's a coincidence that 18-20% of the population is Catholic and Mormon?

Just a coincidence, eh? No need for a smell test?

The name of the book Obama is reading is called:
The Post-American World , and it was written by a fellow Muslim.

Almost 1 in 5 now believe it, or will say that they do, if someone asks them.

A couple of lefty bloggers (one for Fuster)

yes, that is strange. let it be, though.

I can't say that i really followed Beck on Jones, but I did notice that Beck was peddling a bunch of stuff that wasn't true.
what is "his green jobs scam"?

I haven’t been following Glenn Beck – and I’m assuming that if he’d made a pro-Rauf statement I’d have heard and heard and heard about it – but I think it might be a brilliant move for him to come out in favor

interesting thought. is there a list of Beck's five most brilliant moves to date?

@ miguel cervantes:

what lies are laid on the tea party table?

@ George Jochnowitz:

George, is Ahmadinejad part of the Corboda House initiative?

Is there a reason why you're mentioning this anti-Semitic idiot?

@ Appeasers For Peace:

who was throwing candy, 'peaser-brain?
was it the people applying for permission to build Corboda House or totally different people?

if you write juvie crap such as that, does it mean that everyone related to you by blood, friendship, religion or proximity is likely to be simple and silly?

this isn't a question of liberal or conservative, it's a question of whether the Bill of Rights applies to all Americans or not.

From your horsehockey link...

after some history that ended more than three centuries back,
the first damn sentence is

Symbolism is paramount within the modern Muslim world

right there you should stop reading. when the first line of an argument is utter crap, j u s t stop

Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
List'ning to a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane

You keep jumping the shark on a hot tin roof.

None of that crap means anything you just cited is central, pertinent or cogent.

That we consistently had bad choices to make and consistently made them badly is no reason not to re-evaluate our depth of support or strength of commitment.

@ miguel cervantes:that was some authentic Iberian gibberish, mickey.

people's positions on iraq changed with finding out that we had been lied to by the government and with the reporting of the facts about just how utterly inept was our effort at occupation.
additionally, going to Iraq and finding out how repugnant the members of the "new" Iraqi government were and how repugnant most of our soldiers found the Iraqi people to be, forced some rethinking.

That's not forgetting, that's learning.

@ miguel cervantes:

I don't remember anything about Beinart being against the war in Iraq and know for a fact that he was a strong supporter of the invasion.
Beinart's foreign policy ideas, as far as I know, call for a large US presence and a full-throated advocacy of democracy around the globe.

@ CK MacLeod: Beside funny and scary, it's also plain ignorant.
People don't know that traditional beat reporters used to sit together in "press rooms" during the day and bar rooms half the night and talk the same type of stuff?

@ CK MacLeod:
Ut's more than just stupid, the guy is just another dude trying to equate lack of support for whatever Netanyahu's government attempts with opposition to Israel or America's alliance with it.

J Street, Ackerman and Yglesias are all Zionists and describe themselves as such.

@ miguel cervantes:

Truly horribly uninformed garbage and propaganda from Ben David

@ miguel cervantes:

I didn't vote for either Nixon or Obama.

@ miguel cervantes: You should get a shilling every time you're impressed... as well as grog and a flogging and such.

@ J-Bone:

where do you live? there's no intense reaction in NYC. we're as grumpy and self-involved as ever and most everyone who has an opinion about Cordoba House is for it.

@ narciso: Happily, my old enemy Sonny Carson has shuffled off, narc, and is riling Brooklyn no more.

@ CK MacLeod:

Try reading his piece from Feb 2009 when he reported that Gen Petraeus, along with co-cabalists Odierno and Keane, had, in a frenzy of usurpation, forced Obama to abandon his plan to withdraw the combat troops from Iraq by Sept 1, 2010 and instead the war would be intensified.

@ miguel cervantes:
sit, man, ask MacLeod who he most oft pummeled and deleted when the blog was young and the living easy.

@ CK MacLeod:

dammit, you and Sully pushed each other into adopting stances that were more pose than not.
and besides being fun, Sully usually is what passes for a grown-up around here.
