If people did that they'd have to look into the way both America and Israel have used Syria in the past. And that might mean catching a glimpse of W's cynicism here.

That particular contradiction did make me laugh. I guess some foreigners are more foreign than others.
However, the fact that Hezbollah is sponsoring pro-Syria demonstrations does put the lie to the idea that Hezbollah is the party that stands to gain the most from a Syrian pullout though.

I admit I'm quite the little bomb thrower. The fact that Trev and Jeffrey see fit to call me out on this, however, is the height of ironry.

My point was that this is not confined to liberals, as some of you wingnuts like to imagine. Twice yesterday, Rogers identified someone with whom he had some political-philosophy disagreement as either terrorist or pro-Syrian. "You and your terrorist buddies...", etc.
And I had the pleasure of reading in my local paper yesterday that liberalism is "a mental disease." What next, camps?
The fact that I have no problem dealing it right back should be of no concern to you.

I'm not calling you out on it. I'm illustrating a point to you and others that this isn't confined to our side, and that you should not be surprised when we respond in kind.

Why are you pretending to disagree with me when all you're doing is proving my point?
You are part of the problem. Just as much a part of it as you would like to believe Rogers and Beauchamp are.
And apparently me as well, since you seem to consider me to be a "frothing fucktard on the right" though I'm very confused as to how you got that idea.
Seriously? Or perhaps you had just forgotten that you asked that>> question? That must be why you disingenuously snipped it, right?

You apparently continue to misunderstand my comments, thinking that I'm complaining about the nature of political discourse. I'm simply holding up examples of it from the other side to illustrate the point you seem to think I'm pretending to try to make.
And apparently me as well, since you seem to consider me to be a> "frothing fucktard on the right" though I'm very confused as to how> you got that idea.>

Then you're intentionally being a dishonest coward. Ok.
I put the whole fucking quote back in because you whined about my snipping it. There was nothing disingenuous or dishonest or cowardly about it. Believe whatever you want, though.
