1. Good for the Gill, good for the gander?
Is this nitwit willing to see other countries adopt this expedient? He wouldn't mind seeing U.S. nationals in the cross-hairs for exposing torture and corruption in other countries? Or hasn't he "thought" that far ahead?

Fucking amoeba brains. Stimulus/response is as far as they ever go.

5. I wonder how many people who supported Wikileaks' months ago when they leaked
classified Bush documents are now calling for Assange's punishment. The other side of the coin: How many that wanted him hanged then are okay with the current leaks, since they seem to embarrass the Obama admin? Personally, I think the law, as it is written, should take precedence. If he has actually committed espionage and treason, according to the law, then he should get no clemency. If not, leave him alone.
In addition, yesterday's "denial of service" attacks on Wikileaks were simply attempting to shut the barn door after the horse has escaped.

8. Well, I'm against war, torture, corruption and violence
It's kind of boring, but usually a quick check of my bedrock principles leads me to where I'm going to come down on any particular issue. I'm not all that picky about who's "embarrassed" that their illegal activities come to light; I would like the wrong-doing investigated, the evidence developed, and the perpetrators tried and if found guilty, punished.

In a lawless society, that's dangerous thinking.

2. Christian Fatwa? Why not, we've already got a Christian Taliban.
Next thing you know they'll be pushing for the death penalty for being non-Christian.

6. KILL! That's usually the first reaction of Pro-Lifers to people they don't like
That's how you tell them from normal people.

7. Apparently a significant percentage of DU's truncheon swingers also tune into that channel
Edited on Mon Nov-29-10 07:27 PM by kenny blankenship
they got the message Get Assange! and they're going ape looking high and low for this no-good, unAmerican, 'Swedish' malefactor, to string him up.
