The End Of The Story...    Well...the 9/11 commission report came out. That must be that...Just because the thing was chaired by both Democrats and Republicans: two groups who would have to work together to make sure nothing too embarassing to either side would appear...I thought the thing might be mildly incomplete...seeing as they didn't address any of the ties the Huffman flight school had to drug trafficking or the DEA being told to stay clear of what might be going on there...that might be embarassing. They wouldn't want to interview anyone who knew Mohamed Atta or anything (except the owner of the flight school who was conveniently deported so as to avoid any real questioning...oh I mean on an immigration violation)...just one footnote appears from Sibel Edmonds' testimony after she blew the whistle on FBI incompetence (for which they fired her despite earlier denials about that fact)...    Of course the right wingers will focus on the passage that someone from Saddam's government supposedly offered Bin Laden safe haven in Iraq (page 66)...let's just assume that it's true (as the government never lies and Chalabi and his pals are all truth-tellers not that this passage is footnoted of course)...THAT proves this war was worth it. It doesn't matter how badly things go, it's great we invaded. So let's just forget any possible cover up; we're too brainwashed to believe it anyway. All left wing books are shit you see and liberals are all the same and they don't read (REAL stuff like Hannity or the Weekly Standard you see...anything liberal is by definition bullshit and wrong and must be based on lies but all conservative literature is of course true and never inaccurate or misleading)...right wingers win the debate by not allowing one to take place...it's better to shout and interrupt and rather than answer a question just arrogantly yell "There you go...typical liberal thing to say...you're an idiot! You don't know anything! You're so arrogant!" It's a method that could perhaps be called the "O'Reilly Factor": just don't allow your enemy to speak and if he questions the right wing view call him a traitor and shut off his mic...    See...Kerry's a traitor for questioning the Vietnam war. How dare peace protesters say "bring the troops home now"; it's much much more supportive to leave them to die for reasons they haven't even been told. If they don't believe in the war but still fight, that's just them doing their duty as good soldiers: unless of course they're John Kerry in which case he's a man of no principles for not refusing to fight which if he had he'd be a traitor for you see...As always, it's ok if a Republican does anything but if a Democrat does it it's wrong. Republicans apparently operate on a higher moral ground where the things they do must be for a greater good somehow because they're Republicans even if what they do is identical to the thing a Democrat does. Some call that hypocrisy; of course it's only hypocrisy when a liberal were to use such moral relativism.    Right-wingers at best are just a mirror image of all they despise about the left. They call the left closed-minded while being closed-minded themselves. The only reason what they do is different is because they KNOW THEY'RE RIGHT. How they know THAT nobody knows of course but they just KNOW it. So liberals must suck. Disagree and the right'll shout you down. They can't speak at a normal level or without interrupting. 6:53:12 PM    comment []
