Jimmy Carter screwed up the entire middle east by allowing the shah to be overthrown.

The stupid, it burns! What was Carter supposed to do? Invade?

Even then, they’ll have to get like 150 guys to pick it up and throw it at us.

We had nothing to do with what happened in 1953!

Oh my fucking god. Stop talking right now.
I have thus far resisted the Greasemonkey script, because I think the trolls add a certain comic flair, but, seriously, only so much willful ignorance and st00pid I can take.
Anybody else know that the entire coup was pulled off by Norman Schwarzkoppf’s father?

Whereas you are posting from Anbar province with an M-16 in your non-blogging hand, right? You ain’t fighting shit. That’s for poor people’s kids, right? You stupid wingnut fucks want to fight endless wars, and won’t even consent to raising taxes to pay for them. Hey, don’t worry, that’s cool. Just pass the tab on to my children.

I feel really sorry for you and your ilk who live such a fearful life, trembling under the covers every time a tinpot dictator raises his megaphone and makes an impotent threat.

Check the Debbie Schlussel thread (currently the top one), particularly SamFromUtah’s comments.

On a related note, can I get a link to whatever script or plug-in some of the regulars are using to filter known trolls out of the comments?

This from some pasty-faced douchebag hiding in his work cubicle, camouflaged by a huge pile of empty Snickers wappers and the ominously opaque haze of his own fart gas.

The real pussies are the tough-talking right-wing dorks who cannot, in reality, even pump their own gas without assistance, let alone “fight” the war they love so much.

All this “we’re at war” from a gaggle of nose-picking, cowardly shitbirds who would bleed to death from a paper cut.

Hey Saul, you can call anyone you want a pussy the moment you can do ten good military pushups, which qualifies you, I think, for the Civil Air Patrol or Girl Scouts. Unless you’re humping a rucksack and M4 rifle in Fallujah, shut the fuck up about courage, you little twinkie.

If more you you tough-talking, right-wing couch potatoes enlisted, I’d re-enlist just to be your drill sergeant so I can crush my bootheel on your puny foreheads.

The idea that the United States once overthrew the democratically elected leader of Iran to replace him with a puppet regime is so preposterous that it must be a wild conspiracy theory of the loony left. The United States is a noble protector of democracy and would never do such a thing. On an unrelated note, the United States should assassinate the democratically elected leader of Iran and replace him with a puppet regime.

A political discussion with Saul will inevitably and undeviatingly not be a discussion about the issues, but rather a discussion of how much better Saul is than everyone else. That he is addressed at all is simply an ego stroke that, I’m sure to him, validates his efforts and his perspective.

I wouldn’t waste your time. Just because he wants to come in and piss in the corners doesn’t mean we all have to smell it.

Mikey! Not the cats. Probably not even the dogs, much though I hate to say it.

Everybody else: looks like Saul is wilfully ignorant, rather than just garden-variety ignorant. Right now he’s sitting there with his eyes screwed shut and his fingers jammed in his waxy ears, shouting “Lalalala. I can’t hear you!” to his bedroom wall. Leave him be. There’s no reasoning with one who refuses to listen.

Cue: the bad-faith parody of what I just said as = desiring the triumph of the Islamists. Who’da thunk it that Billy Joel had it right all along: You should never argue with a crazy man-man-man (etc.)

Iran a “threat” to Western civilization? Someone, if anyone is left engaging this troll (come back, Kevin! All is forgiven) tell him that video gamez are created to support and reward just this way of interacting with the world. I don’t know beans about World of Warfare or Halo, but saul, boobie, check it out. It couldn’ hoit.

Because nobody is that objectively stupid.

Onward, to another thread!

He is completely ignorant of all facts of history and is unabel to process any input that contradicts his limited knowledge of history.

Iran had a democratically elected government after WWII, the US overthrew it becuase the new president refused to do the US bidding unquestioningly and we presonally chose the Shah and gave him intelligence and weapons to brutalize his own people.

All this is documented fact, ancient history.

Saul, your denials of historical fact do not change the fact that the US is reaping what we sewed.
