And please don’t refer to right wing idiots as “mongoloid” or “special needs”. I have a son with Down syndrome and autism and although he may not be the smartest citizen in the country he is not a danger to our country. He does not try to convince others to follow ideas that are destructive to our democracy. Mocking them as “mongoloid” or “retarded” treats them as harmless and they are not. Just look at what has happened to this country after 8 years of GWB.

Not a shot was fired if I remember correctly.

Christ, we know too much about these assholes’ personal life as it is. Hey Denny, ever hear of Big Russ & Me. Every big media clown – with the exception of Mike Barnicle – it seems has written atleast one autobiography.
Even Steve Douche of Fox News has a book out about his kids and family.

and, not to put too fine a point on it, we know who they stole it from in the first place, right?

“Gotcha journalism”?

Asking someone what newspapers they read, or another SC case besides Roe v. Wade, is HARDBALL now? Just how far do you intend to dumb-down the process of selecting a leader?

“What is 9 minus 4?”
“What is your last name?”
“When was the War of 1812?”

Referring to the UN-authorized police-action in response to NK’s invasion as unilateral US aggression simply serves to illustrate the extent of your historical retardation. Scoffing at verbal abuse toward young girls shows anyone who sees it where your ethical standards lie. Kowtowing to abstract slop like the Laffer Curve is typical neo-conservative ideology-over-reality economics.

The questions are idiotic.
Try harder next time.

– & now I need to lay on the eyewash. Again.

it’s far from the most devastating (Philippine war, anyone?)

Depends on which figures you’re using for the Philippine-American War but civilian deaths in Iraq are already approaching the highest estimates for the “Philippine Insurrection”

Stephanie Miller, for one, who’s agreed to debate Prager.

Another strikethrough ruined.

Fixed.

If they didn’t have logical phalluses, they wouldn’t have any phalluses at all.

Q: Critics of the war in Iraq argue that prior to the invasion of Iraq, America had never attacked a country that had no plans to attack it. How then do you explain the Korean War?

Did Prager offer up anything remotely resembling an example of anyone who tried to make this exact point?

I remember making the point that Iraq had not attacked us and the people of Iraq (in addition to the people of Aghanistan) had nothing to do with Sept. 11.

I don’t remember trying to make a point that America had never attacked another country unprovoked. For one thing, Vietnam is just too damn obvious to ignore.

I think Prager was stuck in straw-man argument mode. And since he’s a conservative, he’s there almost permanently, occasionally shifting into the false dichotomy or the red herring for a little variety.

And you can’t get mad at them for that. Apparently, all they have are logical fallacies.

(Unless … maybe the October Surprise is that conservatives will surprise us all with a new batch of arguments based on honesty, decency, consistency and cogency. I’m not putting any money on it. But it would be a surprise, no?)

Why is history lost on these right-wing morons.

Next week maybe he’ll start talking about US germ warfare against N.Korean civilians. Pass the popcorn. And the hooch.

It would be if that had been the argument war critics made; I never heard anyone make that argument, and I notice he doesn’t give any names. If he really wants to know, why doesn’t he ask people who actually argued that?
