Aha!  I KNEW it!

See, doesn't confessing it make you feel better, Matthew?

What i'd give to see Kommisar Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs, taken to the nearest public stockade. i'd be waiting there with my basket of rotting tomaTOES!!

sorry, just day-dreaming there...

We should be tearing Rove apart for invoking 9/11 as part of a partisan political attack.  I am seriously fucking pissed!!!!!  That is outrageous!!!

Boy, it sure would feel wickedly good to watch some big bruiser kick Karl Rove's ass.  Wouldn't that be neat!?  You bet it would.

I eagerly await Biden's response. No doubt it will be along the lines of, "I'm not crazy about the language, but Karl Rove makes an excellent point."

Or is anyone forgetting the 2004 election? This is pure Rove.

I must admit that occasionally I get frustrated enough to want bad things to happen to America. But the catastrophe I hope for (in moments of weakness) is precisely that Rove and his ilk are successful beyond their wildest dreams.

Roe v Wade overturned would result mainly in an epidemic of red-state teen pregnancy (esp when combined with "abstinence only" sex ed, and contraception drastically less available). Vouchers, along with prayer and creationism in the public schools that remain, will turn the red-state educational system into an array of Christian madrassahs, rendering the graduates even less employable than they are now. And the abolition of Social Security will result in an explosion of elderly poverty, with the poorer red states least able to take up the slack locally.

I realize this is nasty stuff, and most of the time I realize that it is wrong and I am my brother's keeper after all. But the point is: if you really hate America, of course you want nothing more than for Bush and Rove to succeed.

Michael, it's such a relief to hear you say that.  I, too, am committed to jihad and I love terrorists.  I will not be truly happy until I see Osama bin Laden in the Oval Office spitting on a crucifix, and every freedom-loving American is in chains.  Thank you for breaking the silence.

Rove gets away with comments such as these because the Democrats are viewed as weak on National Security.

When and if that ever changes (and I for one hope it does),  the Dems might regain power again - but not until then.

It's kind of sad, really, but in reading the blogs you do see that there is a substantial portion of the wingnutosphere that actually, honestly believes liberals are traitors who want to see america defeated.

It's almost funny, in a way.....i once posted somewhere that there were 2 possible explanations for why the press kept publishing bad news about iraq.  1 is, things are going badly.  The other is, the media is completely taken over by traitorous, liberal fifth columners who secretly desire the success of Islamic Jihad and the destruction of America, and they are universally lying across the mediascape in order to demoralize red staters and throw the war effort into a downward spiral patriotic americans can never escape from.

which one of those explanations sounds reasonable to you, and which one like paranoid lunacy?  hm.....

I eagerly await Biden's response. No doubt it will be along the lines of, "I'm not crazy about the language, but Karl Rove makes an excellent point."

Rove calls us all traitors, and your first response is to cheap-shot Biden? 

As long as Liberals agree with Rove that America is engaged in a Global War on Terror, then, Liberals should agree with him that statements such as Durbin's give aid and comfort to America's enemies and tread near the treasonous.

If you believe as I do that there are a small number of dangerous Muslim zealots wandering about the world who have to be tracked down and put out of their misery, then, Rove's conclusion is aberrant.

On 9/11 at Barksdale AFB, Bush promised to "hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts."  Couldn't agree more!

On 9/20 before Congress, Bush said, "Our war on terror begins with Al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated."

Where was the Liberal outrage, then?  In for a penny, boys, in for a dime.

Stop paying federal income tax.

Why be an accomplice to these criminals?
 

Grow up, you fucking brat. This isn't about Howard Dean. Nice how you care more about your precious personality cult than you do about liberal principles.

Right on Matt.

The very best news for progressives would be a humiliating defeat of the U.S. by the Iraq insurgents (freedom fighters).  That would likely sweep progressivs to power and they could proceed to downsize the military and use the proceeds for domestic goodies.

Durbin is playing this just right by giving the Arab propaganda machine Senatorial sound bites associating U.S. troups with Nazis.  I don't know why the coward apologized.
