@ CK MacLeod:Of course it's justified!
They put up a post from Gareth Porter and I said that he was a genocide denier, liar and flak for the Khmer Rouge.
What else could they do with an unreasonable animal such as myself.
I linked to his book about Cambodia
and mentioned his notorious denial of the Hue Massacre as well!
Since there is no way to deny that he said the stuff (which he repeated in front of the US Congress more than year after publication of the book),
and no way to defend his lies,
what else could they do but administer a severe rebuke to me?

Malaysia was one of the places where the plots were
schemed.
you live near Miami? wanna talk about plots being schemed? any plots schemed within 125,000 sq miles of you? have you stopped them all or are you unfit to be called American?
those who turn children into living bombs, and those who empower them to do so. Imam Rauf is more on that side of the line
dammit, that's just horsehockey flambe and it don't just half-stink.
how the hell do you empower somebody to turn out suicide bombers, narc?
don't you have to act to help in some way, or to say it's a good idea ?
any evidence about Rauf?
what has Rauf done to help suicide bombers that you haven't?

narc, far from imposing democracy, we're paying the tab that keeps the present Egyptian government going.
Should we continue or should we use our purse and pull the strings toward another movement?
@ narciso:
not sure that I understand your reply, narc. would you suggest that the US is best served by continuation of support for the repressive regime in Egypt or would you consider that we might devote our considerable investment there in some other that might lead to something better for us 20-30 years down the road?
why does it have to be an improvement? why can't Egypt have whatever type of sweathog government that it elects?
what the hell does the US gain by supporting Mubarak or by helping him install his chosen successor?

If you were guiding the US, what would you suggest we do to in Egypt to maximize our interests and shape Egyptian society ?
It was the proto-blogger Spencer Ackerman who, yesterday evening, first identified McCain’s error. The Colonel MacFarland to whom McCain referred in the Couric interview “is now a one-star general, and his name is Sean MacFarland,” Ackerman writes. “He was commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, based in Ramadi in 2006 and early 2007 and is a key figure in embracing the Anbar Awakening before it even had that name.”
Ackerman goes on to quote MacFarland’s explanation of the surge, which he gave in a press conference to Pam Hess, then of UPI, on September 29, 2006—which was, Ackerman notes, “at least two months before Bush decided upon the surge, and about three before he announced it to the public”:
Ackerman in particular, was one of those who spread the ‘civil war’ meme about
Iraq, that had it been taken seriously, would have handed AQ a huge
prize
you know, narc, that seems to be about entirely untrue, IIRC.
my first comments on the internet were sent to Spencer Ackerman and were in rebuttal to his claim that the greatest threat to Iraqi re-integration was posed by Mookie al-Sadr.
Rather than a continued screwing with the rule and saying some laudatory thing, tempting as that is, about this post.....

The very fact that he would refer to the eventual expulsion of the Muslims from Spain as “overthrow[-ing] the Islamic yoke” tells you that you are dealing with an ideologue: By the time the Reconquista was finished, Muslim control of the Iberian Peninsula had already been reduced to a small southern pocket.
is a really, really tiny bit of business and might have well been foregone.

The point at which the insight or observation of or insistence upon an "anism" or anti-gnosis converts into just another gnosis would be the central problem of anismism, the problem of anismism to itself, already foretold in the paradox of its name and the temptation to start tacking additional "isms" onto it: Anismismism would be very bad anismism as well as a bad joke, the false idol of the return to anism or the image of that return or the discourse of images of that return, and so on, rather than as the actual return to the anismic real.
It is hard to imagine a world in which acts like the murders of James Foley and Steven Sotloff simply as Americans, in connection with an American decision to rescue others from imminent annihilation, did not produce among Americans a demand for punishment as both practical and moral necessity. Yet there is a tendency even among many would-be supporters of President Obama, or of his plans to "degrade and ultimately destroy" "the group known as ISIL," to diminish and disdain politically aggravated homicides as actual and compelling bases for a specifically American reaction.
