Ledeen is a fool and shows no understanding of history. First, his reading of the origins of WW2 is simplistic, naive and ahistorical. The primary reason the West failed to confront Hitler before 1939 was the lasting aversion to war caused by WWI. Although it is impossible to understand WW2 w/o reference to the particular circumstances existing in post WWI Europe, Ledeen fails to mention any sort of context for what happened at Munich. Second, there is no comparison between the nature of the threat posed by Germany in the 1940s or the Soviet Union in the 1950s–two highly militarized Great Powers–and that posed by a middling regional power such as Iran. In treating these threats as analogous, Ledeen shows a profound lack of judgment.

How much passed-out pedant can you lift?

How much do you weigh?

Can you tolerate strong smells?

As long as they’re organic.

I hope I get to be on the champagne list.

You may prove valuable. How much passed-out pedant can you lift? Can you tolerate strong smells?

Oh RB. I hope I get to be on the champagne list. Not that I’d want you to do anything Internetstubesulary necessary.

An Erica Jong tribute, I assume.

Francis Bacon. Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.

And as for the thread, Godwin’s prediction was fulfilled right at the start by Ledeen himself, when he wound the clock back to 1938. Not to mention his knowing winks in the direction of “~~Triumph~~ Failure of Will”. It is as if he has a bet with a friend, about how much Nazi phraseology he can sneak into a WSJ opinion piece before the editors notice.

RB intends to perform something necessary on the internet involving a bottle of champagne. An Erica Jong tribute, I assume.

I have a bottle of champagne ready for the day when I do something necessary on the internet.

how stupid liberals refused to see the awfulness that was Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin until it was almost too late.

Hunh? Has Ledeen never heard of the phrase “pre-mature antifascist”?

Actually, at some points the GOP has come this close (puts two fingers almost together) to labeling certain Dems “pre-mature anti-terrorists” …

And RB: Now, was that remark really necessary, Mr. Smarty Pantz?

Ummmmmmm could be. Did you have some pix in it of peoples toothbrushes sticking out your ass?

Actually, I don’t remember the Portland drinkathon in such vivid detail. However, there are some early-stage shots of a Vietcong-style bamboo prison cell that I’m building in the backyard.

Now, about that camera…? Still clinging to a slender thread of hope here.

Thanks WereBear and tontocal. He was a little sweetie. Second dog in four years I’ve had to put down. Well, I’ve still got the four cats, the little demons!

He IS a fascist and being polite about it, because somebody might invoke Godwin, doesn’t change that fact. The guy is a fucking fascist.

Which is why his ‘B+ for effort, F for content’ review of the Opus Magnum Pantoloadus was so amusing.

To save time, can the neocons just let me know when it’s not 1938 any more? It’s been 1938 for like six years now and it’s really screwed up my little Far Side calendar…

I think Nixon belonged to a branch of conservative, evangelical Quakers. Not at all like the Pennsylvania bunch or the western, unprogrammed Quakers.
