"Whether the traitorous Democrats or the virtuous Republicans prevail "

[nini]

My head is going to explode. This is the most insane op-ed I have ever seen in this paper, and it's had some doozies.

I can't even begin to address this moran since so much bullshit is crammed into one article.

:puke: :puke:

This may be the most important election in a generation. Whether the traitorous Democrats or the virtuous Republicans prevail could influence this country for years to come.
By Stan Katten

Nov. 7 will bring one of the most important national elections in recent times, possibly in the entire history of America. The future of the nation's security, economy and its culture could well rest on the outcome of this usually mundane midterm election.

One contestant is the Democratic Party, which has been taken over by socialists who dislike America and capitalism. The other is the Republican Party, with a few moderates who frequently join with the Democrats and use the filibuster to impose minority control of the Senate, requiring 60 instead of 51 votes to pass legislation.

Republicans, independents and moderate Democrats should ignore the "October surprises" -- the Mark Foley revelation, the generals' revolt and Bob Woodward's new book, In Denial.

These anti-Republican or anti-Bush developments somehow happened a few weeks before the election. We must keep foremost in mind the real and vital issues: national security, the economy and the societal values that the Democrats are striving to obscure.

1. Yikes

What kind of fascist rag is that?

[Zomby Woof]

2. Jebus Kee-rist on a Triscuit!

Rosemary and Olive Oil!

The Daily Quease has outdone itself. It reads like an Onion piece. Or a John Birch tract. "VIRTUOUS Republicans"??? *head explodes like a North Korean nuke*

Yeahhhhh... like the goddamned Republicans have done so much for our economy, security, and values. :eyes:

Taliban resurgence.

Iraqi insurgence emergence.

Outsourcing and falling wages, with increasing retirement ages.

Healthcare costs on the rise, quality declining, no surprise.

Increased risk of terror at home because of the war.

Sexual predators of minors in Congress by a whore.

Torture defined as "tough rules" by the "liberal media" of the L.A. Times, whose downfall is one of the great crimes.

Habeas Corpus treated like a stripper at Duke University, with unabashed perversity.

Housing bubbles and debt troubles.

I could go on, but the sheer lunacy and psychotic authoritarian-influenced denial of this Stan Katten shithole speaks for itself, like a giant fart bubble emanating from his piehole.

Fuck you, Torrance Daily Disease, and fuck that columnist (forgot his name, he is such a non-entity) who called me out because I dared mock the toilet paper that provides his meager paycheck. What a whore. I hope Katten gives him herpes of the rectum.

8. you should write a LTTE

:-)

[Zomby Woof]

15. I don't think I would be able to contain myself!

:D It would take HOURS to self-edit the juicy parts! :bounce:

[nini]

18. I had the same thought.. How in the hell do you respond

to that crap?


:-)

[demwing]

33. So. Can we submit your rant as an Op-Ed piece?

Pretty please?

[MrCoffee]

3. wait a friggin' minute here...

Foleygate, the general's revolt, and Woodward are OUR October Surprises?

:rofl:

[nini]

13. yep.. that was pretty funny..

too bad they're based on reality and shouldn't be ignored.

[Deja Q]

4. Foley is virtuous?!

:wow:

Talk about narrowmindedness; there is nothing wrong with capitalism. It's when things go out of control that's bad. And maybe there is a long-term goal with globalization, but nobody in a position of power has said WHY. All that does is have people conjuring up their own answers. What's wrong with stating the case?

[whistle]

11. Foley will be just as soon as he is allowed to push his index finger

...up the ass of the Miami Catholic priest who fondeled him when he was a helpless and timid teenager who then went on to finish college become a successful Florida business owner, city commissioner, Vice Mayor, Florida State Representative and Florida State Senator and then to serve five successive terms as U.S Congressmen. Boy, it really messed up Foley's life and career, didn't it?

<snip>
FOLEY, Mark A., a Representative from Florida; born in Newton, Middlesex County, Mass., September 8, 1954; graduated Lake Worth High School, Lake Worth, Fla.; attended Palm Beach Community College, Lake Worth, Fla., 1973-1975; business owner; Lake Worth, Fla., city commissioner, 1977; vice mayor, Lake Worth, Fla., 1983-1984; member of the Florida state house of representatives, 1990-1992; member of the Florida state senate, 1993-1995; elected as a Republican to the One Hundred Fourth and to the five succeeding Congresses until his resignation on September 29, 2006 (January 3, 1995-September 29, 2006).

5. What kind of yellow journalistic rag is the Daily Breeze?

[nini]

7. I quit subscribing to them years ago because of the right wing issue

but this takes the cake.

this guy is NUTS

[warrens]

6. Is that the Onion?

No one sane would write that in seriousness.

[nini]

10. That was my thought too..it's so out there it's ridiculous /nt

.

[acmavm]

9. Must be a tradition for brother to marry sister in that person's

family.

That's the only explanation I can come up with.

[Zomby Woof]

14. Get your banjos ready!

[nini]

20. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

didn't we see him last week? :D

[Zomby Woof]

If it wasn't him

It was his brother/father! :silly:

[VOX]

12. "Iraqi insurgents are striving to make the Bush administration look bad"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Gee, **no one** ever explained the Iraq debacle to me that way before -- now it all makes perfect sense!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

This guy is not only a simpleton, he's NUTS! :crazy: He's worried about "subversion of our Constitution by more liberal judiciary," but apparently doesn't give a rusty nail that his God Bush is shredding the Constitution, tossing out little things like, oh, habeas corpus. :nuke:

[Arkansas Granny]

31. He makes it sound like it takes a lot of effort to make the Bush

administration look bad. :rofl:

These days all you have to do is stand back and watch while the Republican party implodes with absolutely no outside help. They've done it to themselves.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. He Didn't Even Get The Woodward Book Title Right

And they printed this piece of garbage?!?!? He, and the paper's editorial staff are all idiots.
The Professor

[keepCAblue]

17. "virtuous Republicans" - Now THERE'S an oxymoron!!! eom

[Iris]

35. Anyone who uses the word "Virtuous" to describe ANY politician,

no matter what party s/he is affiliated with, is sadly naive.

[Bunny]

19. Could one of you guys please re-issue the memo re: socialism?

I seem to have lost my copy, and I want to be sure I'm up to date on our socialist, anti-capialist and America hatin' goals. Thanks.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. You Don't Need A Memo!

You have the whole thing down.

1) You have to be a socialist! Check
2) You have to hate capitalism! Check
3) You have to hate America! Check

See how easy this is!

You can have your own reasons for 1, 2, & 3. But, you have to agree to those as well.

That way, the simpleton who wrote that LTTE gets to be right and keep everything black and white so he can comprehend everything in his own extraordinarily tiny mind.
The Professor

[demwing]

21. It's an opinion piece

and though he has a crappy opinion, it's still just an opinion. Unsavory as it is, the newsrag is fully justified in printing this tripe. I only hope to hell some SOCAL residents send in a counter opinion, and that the alternative view gets printed as well.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. What Is The Paper's Obligation To Truth

There are three factual errors in that letter. Not the least of which is the name of the Woodward book he describes as the dems' October surprise. (So, two errors in the same sentence.)

The paper can and should print reader opinions. Should they print those in which outright errors exist?
The Professor

[Zomby Woof]

25. Yeah, well

There's informed opinion that contributes to constructive discourse, and then there's psychotic and ignorant tripe like his which makes a mockery of the marketplace of ideas.

None of us are saying he doesn't have the First Amendment right to express his dumbass opinion, nor are we saying the paper is wrong for printing it. We're just stunned at the sheer psychotic power of it and must express ourselves accordingly so that we can prevent scraping the remains of our exploded heads from our monitors.

[demwing]

26. Im in complete agreement

I couldn't wrap my head around the insanity.

[demwing]

29. You know, I just tried to pen a response

but how can you when every line is a complete fabrication?

I wonder if the best thing to do would be just ignoring the piece, and submit a positive message, with a short preamble, adressing the newspaper's right to print opinions tempered by a responsibility to present truth and balance.

[nini]

34. Same here...

where to start????

[unpossibles]

24. that reads like satire

although sadly a lot of people still think like that. somehow. despite those pesky facts and such..


oh wait - he's from the Rand Corp. - an "objective" think tank that just happened to be started by the military. Like most "think tanks" it always struck me as a propaganda machine.

[Skidmore]

27. Any DUers of letters up to penning a reply to that in the line

of the "Republican Party Book of Virtues?" If it is a serious article, it deserves a response with a long list of R virtuous behavior.

[iamahaingttta]

28. Stan Katten, you're an idiot!

A brain-dead ignoramus, and a sucker.
And that is your right, Stan Katten.

I happen to agree with you, Stan Katten, when you say "Nov. 7 will bring one of the most important national elections in recent times, possibly in the entire history of America." But for very different reasons. Stan Katten, I'm not even going to try to explain to you what those reasons are, because it's clear that you've got your head so far up your ass, that you wouldn't be able to hear me!

Ain't America wonderful, Stan Katten? A place where you can make an complete fool out of yourself, and I can call you on it?

[Richard Steele]

30. "Keep foremost in mind our societal values...and IGNORE the Foley case."

Keep foremost in mind our national security...and IGNORE the "Generals' Revolt"

In other words: Stick your head up your ass
while chanting "All is well...", and keep
voting for the exact opposite of what you want.

[Rocknrule]

32. How do you circumcise a Republican?

Kick the writer of this article in the jaw

[BreweryYardRat]

36. Gag.

Counter-attack. Please.

Or just strangle the idiot.

[geniph]

37. Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick!

How far up De-Nial River can this fellow get himself?!

"these ... somehow happened a few weeks before the election..."

Um, fella, this shit has been happening more or less CONTINUOUSLY since this evil cabal has consolidated power. Ever since they've become convinced they can get away with anything.

[Megahurtz]

38. BBLLLEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!!!!!!
