Post #305,085 by Ashton 3/4/09 3:29:13 PM Reply	..nor Father Coughlan; in the '30's: Our Rwanda propagandist -- sane people also thought. Then, too.. OK he's just a nutzo-blowhard; no intelligent person would be moved by his insane rhetoric. Many Jews et al, in Germany and elsewhere -- for the Longest Time -- also thought, ~ Nahh.. this Schikelgruber loon is just dplaying to his inarticulate, impotent cohorts; he can't possibly-MEAN those hateful incitements! He'd Never Do the idiotic stuff in that book; just the mutterings of a stir-crazed convict, wallowing in his bathos.. Nothing to see here. Words! is all. WTF power has a 'word'? Zzzzzzzzzzz The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. -- H.L. Mencken

Post #305,093 by drook 3/4/09 3:45:01 PM Reply	Was referring to the "frequently accused" line When you say you are frequently accused of falling for the ploy du jour, that means the Republican ploy, which you are parroting, yes? And I don't think you fall for it. I think it's more accurate to say you often recite the ploy du jour. -- Drew

It's a John Galt kinda thing, I wot ... even if ya don't quite pass for Gary Cooper. ;^>
Post #305,101 by beepster 3/4/09 5:26:34 PM Reply	What Republican ploy would that be? Is that the one where they appointed El Rushbo to the head of the party and didn't tell anybody? No, this would be the Democratic ploy this time..the one that has prominent Democrats out there quipping to the media about Rush being the leader of the party, etc...which you seem more than happy to agree with...accurate or not. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
