I also enjoyed you last week on C-Span
did Lashbrook catch Mike Pence R Ind
on C-Span who is doing his conservative dog and pony show for the looters who build build rainforests to Ames or Iowa City a well as the bridge to oblivion and almost all GOP earmarks,
By ideas Lash and the GOP use it for a code word to get rid of oversights and regulationsa that hamper earsdropping and safety for miners and all workers who are not sons of Chinese Lobbyists, the official Lobbyist of RED CHINA is Bush #41 at 200 mill per this along with his Congress and CIA-Pres. Pension is what ideas are all about
The GOP idea machine has come up with a beaut, Bushit announced it in his on his address to the gullible,
it is Synthetic Biology -aka Nano’s, they won’t need cannon fodder or guinea pigs, the problem is unless your the Terminator Cheney or some other alien they won’t need humans at all.

Saw you on CSpan today–Couldn’t help but feel sorry for the students who are being fed the liberal pap you preach–Same old Demo talking points without solutions just obstruct–You must be aware that Rush has referred to himself as “Maha Rushie” for years–Try a little originality for once—

[...] Mahablog This, IMO, gets to the heart of why the Right Blogosphere is obsessed with this story, the way they were obsessed with the recent French riots. They want a holy war against Islam. They are itching for it. Not that any of them would volunteer to fight, of course [Via Al-Mujahid] [...]

Jason — I agree that the riots were way overboard. So there’s a clash of cultures and all that, but torching embassies and inciting lethal violence over cartoons is beyond the pale.

Righties won’t let lefties stay out of it for long.

Righties can’t incite me to get into it unless I allow myself to be incited. And I have no intention of doing so. I believe this crisis is showing signs of letting up now, anyway.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

right wingers should read right wing blogs.

I see the point now that it’s the right wing on both sides that are becoming unhinged.

I hope not, because righties and lefties will all be swept into it eventually. Righties won’t let lefties stay out of it for long.

I don’t know if the right wingers are unhinged or not. I haven’t read the blogs, but if anyone is unhinged it’s the rioters, and the governments who are inciting these riots.

They went WAY overboard about some stupid drawings and people are now dead because of it.

Sure, some people over here are going to jump on these events and try to paint all Muslims as crazed wackos, but I can’t blame anyone for criticizing the actual crazed wackos who are torching emabssies and calling for beheadings over some stupid drawings.

Like someone said earlier, people just need to lighten up (in a major way.)

“This, IMO, gets to the heart of why the Right Blogosphere is obsessed with this story, the way they were obsessed with the recent French riots. They want a holy war against Islam. They are itching for it. Not that any of them would volunteer to fight, of course … ”

You summed up in a sentence, what I have been feeling since this whole controversy erupted.

“Can we say they’ve come unhinged? I think we can.”

Amen! brother.

Creating new realities.(T.M.)
Riots in the Muslim World
Where did they get all those Danish flags to burn?
Bombers of the USS Cole escape from a prison in Yemen
Iran plotting to get Nukes
We gotta fight them over there to keep them outta here.
Who’s gonna stop the fire?
Where’s my Xanax?

Wow, Chris, you are right. I’d forgotten that. Good catch!
