    Wow, angry much? I guess you were just sitting there seeting with your tin foil hat on to keep Cheney from reading your mind when you saw this item on IJ, and you just blew your stack. Instead of taking it out on us, why not go home and beat your wife (or “life partner”)?

    I didn’t know that Rush made the rules. Huh.

    So Rage Boy, does Franken owe $25k in fines for failure to provide workers comp or not? Is he campaigning for larger payouts for workers comp claims or not? Is he a hypocrite or not?

    Personally I think we should take over all 3rd world countries and all their oil.

    Typical right wing extremist–can’t spell. I guess “derangement” at 3 syllables is a bit much for an insurance man.

    As to proper political speech, you are not going to learn it from right wing hate radio and right wing hate TV–Fox Agitprop. (Cf. all of Sean’s cutesy little names for everything and his constant ad hominem attacks or Rush’s beyond the pale behavior). I was only quoting your right wing Fox Agitprpop idol, Bill All-Riled-Up. That’s his tag phrase, deliberately ignorant one. Call it a salute to him–and we’re not even in the shower. At the same time as the right wing hate media started this virulent personal attack on all things different, Bush and Co. started talking about the need for civil discourse.

    As to supersized Americans driving their super-sized vehicles, I don’t. And yes, I would trade them all in to save American lives, my neighbors’ spouses and children, so we are not projecting military force to steal oil from everyone else. Gee whatever happended to your favorite “free markets”? Need a little gummint help with those, boys?

    You know, they say when the embezzler goes on vacation, his crimimal activity comes out. I think your reply and the reply of some others expose the true raw and very ugly motivations of some self-absorbed Americans–much like Sean Hannity, any limits placed on childish self-indulgence gets blamed on “liberals.” The righty movement is all about power and stealing through military force (Iraq) or simple, basic commerical theft through corruption (the GOP/lobbyist Congress).

    I don’t know what reality you live in, but it ain’t a very well populated one….perhaps aluminum foil hats are worn by all your enemies in that place.

    The good news is that soon much of the evil done in the past seven years will be swept away, like tears in the rain.

    Just as I was saying–the real motivations fr oil wars of theft are now coming out clearly. By the way, who is this “we”? It is not going to be my friends or relatives.

    I assume you are stopping on the way home to enlist in the armed forces and become this “we”? Hey, freedom isn’t free, pal. America, love it or leave it–“we” say so.

    Drop and give me 20 (pounds, so you can drive a car smaller than a house).

    You’re right, only morons commit typgraphical errors. I agree. But please tell us:

    What’s “Agitprpop” mean, Fidel?

    What’s “happended” mean, Einstein?

    What’s “crimimal” mean, Brainiac?

    What’s “commerical” mean, Webster?

    O the bile that spews from those touchy feely lovey dovey peacenik liberals.

    Communism is not a nice (let alone successful) political worldview, if I can clue you in. If you would simply give it trial run, an American worldview would give you a better outlook on things. just a suuggestion.

    “Just as I was saying–the real motivations fr (sic) oil wars of theft are now coming out clearly.”

    Yeah, I guess we’re paying $3.19 a gallon because we’re stealing all that oil.

    Settle down “liberal”…….who do you think paid your bills and schooling when you went to JuCo for 2 years and you lived in their basement–your establishment, conservative parents. They spoiled you and always listened to your liberal points of view because they had no backbone and didn’t know how to respond to a “different” kid………..

    This loser’s biggest accomplishment was being on Saturday Night Live. If people consider him a candidate for anything then I should be Pope.
