Comments on: Lowering The Standards http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/09/11/lowering-the-standards/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:00:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Gaius http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/09/11/lowering-the-standards/comment-page-1/#comment-65724 Gaius Tue, 11 Sep 2007 19:04:05 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/09/11/lowering-the-standards/#comment-65724 I think Joe Gandelman covered that quite nicely: "To mince no words, this is the kind of language that cause us to delete comments on this blog and to even ban commenters. It undermines the rest of moveon.org’s message and, frankly, when some people (like yours truly) see it, <i>we stop reading the rest of it</i>." http://themoderatevoice.com/politics/15047/with-enemies-like-this-general-petraeus-gets-new-friends/ Nobody is going to legitimize any part of that viciousness by responding to it. MoveOn is its own worst enemy. I think Joe Gandelman covered that quite nicely:

That tells me all I need to know. Notably, no one is rebutting the charges that he’s lying or stretching the truth.

A considerable number of Russian people thought the bolsheviks were enlightened, "intellectual" and "concerned about the poor". But the Bols couldn't get into the total power, and became very frustrated. While alot of the Bols had considerable money, they couldn't buy their way in either. So, they finally used guns and bombs and poison. I sit here just wondering about the bolsheviks in Russia in 1915 or so.

He is so far above his natural skill set that he makes Nancy Pelosi look normal in a Burka in Damascus! He reminds me of Churchill's line about a Socialist candidate for PM, "a sheep in sheep's clothing."

The NYT is a tabloid for treason that reportedly only charged Move-On one-third the usual price for the vicious smear on Petraeus. Pinch Sulzberger should be investigated and if the Fairness Doctrine has any meaning at all, the print media should be treated the same as talk radio. The Soros-cide Move-On Marxists want a nanny-state filled with passive robots whose freedoms are vastly outnumbered by govt regs and diluted by a harsh taxation regime. To attain this goal, they must eliminate America's military power projection capability. These deluded misguided gullible ideologues actually believe that taking a stand against Islamofascism in Iraq STRENGTHENS the Islamist radicals. It may cause a few conversions to AQ among young unstable types like Adam Gadahn and thousands of undereducated madrasa grads. But they might have gone the AQ route anyway, willy-nilly Iraq. Move-On and the Soros-cide left are simply ridiculous and their ad demonstrates desperation as the Dems find that common sense is better than hysterical fabulist prevarications from the Kossack Huff-Puff Left. Whew! I've got more to say at www.daveinboca.blogspot.com, including a riff on the McCarthy Hearings in the '50s written before the Boston Globe & Blue Crab did the same excellent comparison.

This was from Harry Reid, the Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate……..} So, Harry... where does that leave YOU and the rest of your cohorts? Shall we start a list of all the statments that you (collectively) have made that arent factual - e.g The war is lost??? Get a grip on reality or GET OUT! Your rhetoric is counter-productive to the health of this country!
