BREAKING ON C-SPAN: WMDs FOUND IN IRAQ!
Washington Journal caller this morning:

"A lady who goes to my church said she got a letter from her son in Eye-rack and he said they just found a whole building FULL of WMDs."

"Um...what KIND of WMDs?"

"She didn't say, but it was a whole building just FULL of WMDs."

"Thanks for your call."

Sorry to bring the hard truth, folks.
I guess we had better be ready to dine on a lot of crow.

1. Then they realized it was just the sporting goods section of the new Baghdad WalMart
that Halliburton just built.

10. I say the same thing to a RW Friend - He shrugs
I say, "Rob, if they found them the first person to go on every new cast from here to mars would be George, followed by Dick, but they are not on the TV are they?"

He says he is, but the left wing media is not covering it.

I say, "Well he is the president, he can just ask for time and give a speech, ever time he makes doody without help we hear about it, but this, total silence?"

my former next door neighbor's cousin's hairdresser's manicurist heard that Bill Clinton was the one who put that group together, and their first meeting was in Tieneman Square.

15. reverse progress in Iraq
Iraq did not have al queda before we invaded. Now it does.
Iraq did not have civil war before we invaded. Now it does.
Would it surprise us to find out that Iraq did not have WMD's before we invaded but now it does?

One of the most idiotic "rationalizations" we heard for the missing WMD's was that they were smuggled out of the country. Like THAT was supposed to make us feel better now that they are circulating around the world and we don't know where they are anymore?

16. I feel so sorry for people like this.
Many of them are caught up in an insular little small-town world of church and Fox Noise that nothing from outside can penetrate. I suspect that most are well-meaning individuals who simply lack the capacity to formulate their own thoughts or opinions on abstract topics. Thus they are easy prey for manipulative types, which in today's political culture usually means right-wing, authoritarian neo-Fascists.

As Nixonite Charles Colson once opined, evangelical Christians are probably the easiest group in the country to take in with outrageous, improbable falsehoods, repeated over and over. They are accustomed to this. They treat their politics exactly the same as they treat their religion, including the need for characters embodying Pure Good (God, right-wing wackos and religious nuts) and those embodying Pure Evil (Satan and everyone else, especially Bill Clinton).

I would feel even sorrier for them if I didn't consider this attitude and viewpoint to be so dangerous for America.

22. Sorry but if you lack the capacity to form your own thoughts and opinions you are Dangerous,
and no one should call you well meaning.

People don't give this benefit of the doubt to people with mental problems.



But i love your Colson observations.


It is so true, even nowadays.


Especially now come to think of it.

27. I can't find it in my heart to
feel any compassion for stupidity. These people are responsible for where we are right now. They have blood on their hands whether they are too stupid to see it or not.

21. And don't forget that bit on DU? from four years ago - about
Edited on Sun Jul-08-07 08:35 AM by higher class
contractors sitting around in Kuwait waiting to move them in. I wonder what they are going to be? You don't think we would be stupid enough to plant air toxins, do you. Are a bunker of deplete uranium, - maybe the entire mobile wmds are buried under the sand? Maybe 500 thous boxes of pitchforks?

Just like the USSR - rumors, lies, and jokes about the rumors & lies combined with the utter knowledge and pathos about OUR TRUE state of the nation.

We can no longer believe about 85% of our government, our leaders, and their corporate media partners.
