My first post on DU was a defense of Tom Daschle

[CatWoman]

and now I'm defending Harry Reid.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...........

[opihimoimoi]

needs to be more assertive....tell that guy he needs to be more Manly...lol

5. No it wasn't !

Was it ? :rofl:

I would have thought it was in response to Carlos Jacinto !

[Jackpine Radical]

12. OMG--Jacinto.

Now THAT's a blast from the past.

[CatWoman]

14. actually, I tried to stay away from that nut case

his lunacy finally got the better of me, and I just HAD to slap his dumb ass around :)

:hi:

6. Well, at least you're not defending Hugo Chavez!

7. My first DU post was evidence in favor of Godwin's Theorum.

My first PM was from you.

Neither of which points are apropo of anything- just kickin this thread!

8. Some people will do anything to boost their post count.

11. Godwin's law no longer applies to us. The Totalitarian State Corollary

(to Godwin's Law) states that invocation of Godwin's Law is dismissive and counterproductive in nations which are actually following the 10 Steps of Closing (free countries tranisitioning to totalitarian rule) Societies as Naomi Wolf has so accurately documented in the YouTube video in my signature link.

I might add that Godwin's Law is invalidated also when the reality turns out that the grandchildren of those who would have made the USA a fascist stsate allied with Adolf Hitler are the ones ruling us today.

Harper's Magazine (est. 1850) and the BBC not good enough for you (the BBC link is embedded in the Harper's Article)? Then I don't know what is.

I am giving you the final piece of the puzzle which has been obvious to many here at DU for quite some time, no bullshit and no personal insult intended.

Godwin's Law DOES NOT APPLY HERE and can never apply here, until we are fully free again.

9. I love Tom Daschle

He was one of the few Senators who would answer an out of state letter. If Obama wins, I hope we see him back in government.

10. Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same things over and over

while expecting different results?

I'm just sayin'... :hi:

[Ishoutandscream2]

13. Yes, cue in the Bush administration

But I WOULD NEVER put Cat in that catogory. LOL!

15. My first post in July 2004 was in response to a question in the Lounge...

about what phrase you'd most like to remove from the English language:
I said:

"Quality" used as an adjective.

"We must make tough decisions" (used by ruthless managers)


Not sure what that says about me, but I still dislike those phrases!

My second post was questioning why American RW-ers treat 'liberal' as a bad word, when many countries have 'Liberal' parties.


With regard to the OP, I am sorry that Daschle lost his seat to that arch-nutcase Thune, and glad that he didn't get anthrax - THAT was scary!
