    Campaign 2008

    Yea, I live in Danville. Don't go to Centre for college because it was too close but went there for the state's Governor's Scholars Program. I just have to wonder about fallout for the Democrats on this one. IF Lieberman loses the primary it could paint the Democrats as a party of the ultra-left and give fodder to the GOP over the Democrats being weak on security again because it would make Lieberman a martyr over Iraq. Bolding by me. I don't get this. By any measure, Iraq has not "increased" American national security. A huge portion of the country disapproves of the President's handling of Iraq (which Lieberman has unwaveringly supported) and a majority of the country views the decision to go to war in Iraq as a mistake. I cannot fathom how supporting the Bush line on Iraq could possibly be construed as being "strong on defense." Also: Montana (vs. Burns) Missouri (vs. Talent) Tennessee (Frist's seat that Harold Ford, Jr. is running for) Maybe Kyl's seat in Arizona Maybe George Allen's seat in Virginia *edit* also Chafee's seat in Rhode Island

    No, you said: That was fucking stupid, so I called you on it. Being anti-Zionist means you oppose having a Jewish state in Israel. Because some Anti-Semetic extremists have adopted Anti-Zionism historically and currently doesn't mean that all Anti-Zionisits are Anti-Semetic. There have been and are lots of Jewish Anti-Zionists. For instance, in Zionism's early years, many Jews were turned off by its close ties with socialism. In other words, just because some Anti-Semetists are Anti-Zionist doesn't mean that all Anti-Zionists are Anti-Semetic. Um, right. But that still doesn't mean that anti-Zionists don't want Israel destroyed. I think our disagreement here is semantic. When you said "destroyed", I took it is an implication that you meant all Anti-Zionists wanted Israel blown up.

    Do you live in Danville? I like that town. I used to date a girl who went to Boyle Co. High and I considered going to Centre for college. The thing about Lieberman isn't that he didn't oppose the Iraq War, it's that he opposed the opposers. He totally crapped on anyone who disagreed with the war--and that's a huge chunk of his party and his state. Notice how there isn't any huge effort to vote out some of the other Democratic Senators who supported the war like Clinton or Cantwell or even conservative Ben Nelson. Lieberman is a FOX News Democrat. Anyone who Sean Hannity calls a close personal friend deserves at least a nomination battle.

    How do you feel about Iraq?

    If you didn't know, The Mahdi Army is al-Sadr's militia that the US military has clashed with in the past and, as I understand it, is fighting with now. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6071100235.html

    David Ben-Gurion was a Jew-hater? Someone's being ultra-PC.

    Was it on KET? If so, my girlfriend called in to that show. The war in Iraq? WTF? Supporting that goes against most evidence and it's not working.

    Well, when I'm choosing who I want to befriend in real life, I generally want to be friends with "good people". Israel is relatively, globally speaking, "good poeple".

    Israel is a liberal, secular, democracy in a sea of theocratic authoritarian states. They deserve to be our friends. Plus a bunch of crazy evangelical dispensational premillennialists want to speed up Armageddon a see Jews convert or be killed... (I'm looking at you, Tim LaHaye.)

    7 Arrested in Sears Tower Plot

    Yeah. These guys' plot to destroy the Sears Tower was about as credible as my plot to destroy Neptune.
