And it would just give them another thing to waaaaaahhhhhh about.

Naw, they’re already losing the battle of ideas, and at the ballot box. And at the bar, now that Scooter’s gone down.

Perhaps liberal-progressives should organized DoS attacks on Republico-conservative sites.
=======================
Naw that would just make it so fewer people could partake in their stupidity.

The fact that Stark’s site has been subject to a Denial of Service attack isn’t a surpise. Republico-conservatives are nothing but a bunch of criminals. Perhaps liberal-progressives should organized DoS attacks on Republico-conservative sites.

Yeah, I noticed that Mike’s site was down as of early this morning. Suspicious, no?

Anyway, Buzzflash’s editors asked a simple but intruiging question today: “What Does Support the Troops Mean to You?”

I can’t come up with a comprehensive answer but I at least can say that I tried.

You’re right, les, I should have said they’ll be less able to make a believable case, though that hasn’t bothered them in the past all that much either. Or hurt them, as some people seem able to believe the wackiest, most obviously false things, even after proven false.

You’re right Patkin. My bad. The VA is still doing fine.

Of course this is a fact-free assertion, since the VA system provided the best health-care in America under Clinton. Big shock, W has screwed that up royally.

I just want to point out something, and I’m not sure if this is covered by the WA Post article or anything, but it’s something I know pops up.

The situation at places like Walter Reed are actually related directly to the Army and how their hospitals are set up. The VA administration is not *directly* responsible for the conditions at Walter Reed or places like Walter Reed because the VA isn’t responsible for the conditions at Army hospitals.

The Army is.

“the harder it will be to make any sort of honest case that socialized medicine is to blame.”

And this will be a factor how?

I doubt there’s any good way, if they’re deleting polite comments. But privatization is being at least partially blamed in the press across the spectrum, including the Army Times, and the more public discussion that gets the harder it will be to make any sort of honest case that socialized medicine is to blame.

OK, this is only tangentially related, but it’s a Malkinundrum, as it were.

In response to the Washington Post’s reports about terrible health-care conditions for returning vets, Malkin, Sister Toldjah, and Volokh have all trotted out a misdirection: This just shows you how bad socialized medicine is!

Of course this is a fact-free assertion, since the VA system provided the best health-care in America under Clinton. Big shock, W has screwed that up royally.

Lots of people have piled on in Volokh’s comments, and there’s a roaring debate. Of course Malkin doesn’t allow comments, so as her eyes do not have to see the foul, nasty words that spring from our foul, nasty fingertips. But Sister Toldjah allows comments, so I posted a friendly comment pointing her 3 or 4 readers in the direction of a Business Week article extolling the virtues of said health-care. To wit:
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_29/b3993061.htm

It was deleted.

So I posted another. And another. Both deleted.

So I posted a comment pointing out these deletions, and asking why it was happening. Deleted.

So…this seems like the sort of thorny issue the Sadly No! folks might take a shine to. Is there any way to get Malkin and Toldjah to acknowledge the Business Week article? Is that the sort of challenge y’all are up for?

Jillian, you’re a genius. I’d laugh my arse off. Sadly, I don’t think she will do it, but maybe someone else might volunteer? (Devastastin’ Dave, I’m looking at you? You still around?).

I will certainly retaliate with a detailed list of the detritus I find in my beard.

There’s nothing going on here, so why not? It could be a guessing game like, I dunno, I spy with my little eye something that is gelatinous.

Oh, come on, that’s not even subtle. You can do better than that, sweet pea.

Bubba, try this one, maybe?

There’s no nose-hair attachment for that one.

Man, the most super awesome part of that Hot Air post is all the basement-dwelling wanna-be tough guys volunteering to be Michelle’s bodyguards. A bigger bunch of fake-ass rough and tumbles you will not see outside of an SCA swordfighting practice, with all their bogue gun talk and threatening posturing towards the evil picture-taking liberals. And you just KNOW that every one of them is thinking “And then I’ll save her life, and she’ll totally fall in love with me and leave Jesse and we can raise an army of future neocons together…”

You call it your “annie”? That’s kinda weird. Most people just go with “Johnson” or “rod” or “schwartz”.
