...in which I ask an extremely stupid question.
Is it too much to ask for a modicum of consistency in the judgments made by wingnut bloggers?
Atlas Shrugs thinks life is swell in Baghdad but France? "That's War, Baby." Civil War in France? Oui. In Iraq? Non, you anti-semitic, anti-American traitor.
While they scream "Foul" whenever reference is made to both Nazi Germany and themselves, W-Nuts like Jules Crittendon and TruthDig have no problems asking "Is Paris Burning?", which of course was the question posed by Hitler to find out if his order to obliterate Paris was being followed just before its liberation.
Wing Nuts love the Troops, which is why they care far less about 20,000 of them suffering brain damage than they do about a single French Cop who recieved much less damage from a shot gun than Harry Whittington did at the hands of Dick Cheney. Mr van der Galien sees a "War in France," while Blue Crab believes that "The French may have one [an insurrection] on their hands at the moment". But the Surge has worked in Iraq.
The question might not be stupid, but the guy who asked it? Definitely.
Did I read this right? You called Atlas Shrugs an anti-Semitic anti-American traitor? I'm confused, right?

Actually that's not what I meant, but now that I think about it....
What I meant to say was that if you were to argue that there is a civil war in Iraq, she would call you an anti Semitic, anti-American traitor.
I do think she is not helpful to Israel's interests.

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't know why she would call someone saying there is not a civil war in Iraq an anti-Semite though.
FYI. When I check the little box 'remember personal info', it never remembers.

Everyone who does not agree with her 100% is by definition an anti-semite, and to suggest that there is a civil war in Iraq is to suggest that something might be going wrong with our policy in Iraq, which makes you worse than Hitler.
Thanks for the FYI - I'll check into it
Thanks for your comments
