Ok, I’ll take the bait…… Lets hear your pathetic case for why a rape victim should ever be to blame for the rape?????

Raging, I have no idea what on earth you are talking about. I am a huge advocate for rape victims rights (both male rape and female rape). I was objecting to gayle using a rape analogy to describe liberals and their mentality. Although she was trying to make a point to MikeB, I objected to the analogy because it is not fair to mix politics with such an emotional topic.

Rape is a strong term that has a deep meaning to too many people in this country. Politics is supposed to be about the interchange of ideas and interests. But at the end of the day, we must all have to agree that we have the right to hold those opinions.

But a rape “analogy” to describe any political group or viewpoint is out of order in my opinion.

Of course, gayle has the right to hold that opinion and use that term if she likes. I am making an objection and was asking for a different way to describe a liberal mentality if she doesn’t like their point of view.

Well gayle, I guess I will sum up my feelings by saying that I believe it is possible to have a good, quality political debate hence while I’m here. I enjoy hearing from liberals, conservatives, and independents. The reason why I did not answer yesterday is because I had something come up that I had to leave the computer. Over the next few days, my computer access will be limited as well. Believe me, I would have loved to continue our discussion.

At any rate, it just seems interesting to me that not many people who support the current War in Iraq seem to remember the WMD which was the premise by which we went into the country. The same GOP talking point is brought up against this question by saying “If you were in charge, Saddam would still be in power” etc. This is nonsense because it is a doubtful disputation that cannot be proven. Although I applaud people like BOR who say “OK, I was wrong about WMD. Now let’s figure out how to solve this.”

But we are currently in Iraq and looking back is not going to change anything now. But I am concerned, just like O’reilly is, that the Iraqi people aren’t shouldering the responsibility as they should. This is made more frustrating when revenge against the same ruthless killers 6 years after 9/11 has still not been carried out. I want Bin Laden dead. Afghanistan should be our primary concern in the War on Terror.

I am grateful to MM for the opportunity to share our opinions. The fact that we are able to have this conservation is a tribute to the country who gives us that right and the men and women who have defended and continue to defend.

Here is another man who died too young and knew how CAIR operates. Doug Marlette was a syndicated cartoonist who died in a car crash last month.

Here is what he wrote about CAIR after he (who considered himself an equal opportunity offender) drew a cartoon that offended the easily offended religion of peace:

“Can you say “fatwa”? My newspaper, The Tallahassee Democrat, and I received more than 20,000 e-mails demanding an apology for misrepresenting the peace-loving religion of the Prophet Mohammed — or else. Some spelled out the “else”: death, mutilation, Internet spam. “I will cut your fingers and put them in your mother’s ass.” “What you did, Mr. Dog, will cost you your life. Soon you will join the dogs . . . hahaha in hell.” “Just wait . . . we will see you in hell with all jews . . . .” The onslaught was orchestrated by an organization called the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR bills itself as an “advocacy group.” I was to discover that among the followers of Islam it advocated for were the men convicted of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. At any rate, its campaign against me included flash-floods of e-mail intended to shut down servers at my newspaper and my syndicate, as well as viruses aimed at my home computer. The controversy became a subject of newspaper editorials, columns, Web logs, talk radio, and CNN. I was condemned on the front page of the Saudi publication Arab News by the secretary general of the Muslim World League.”

I read that he and his newspaper, The Tallahassee Democrat, received almost 40,000 emails from CAIR. Doug Marlette never apologised. RIP.

Rudy is correct: Islamic terrorism is a real and present threat to our civilization. CAIR knowingly plays the politically correct cards and uses our laws to suit themselves. Freedom of speech is one of our rights as a democracy and they need to understand that.

I support Rudy today and others who are not afraid of being politically correct on this issue. Unlike Al Gore, I believe this is the most important issue of our lifetimes.

Dangit. Can I get one post correct without an error?!?!?

Wake Forest University basketball coach – aged 56 died. I believe he was jogging and had a massive heart attack.

A true oss for the ACC.

Lindsay is a hoot.

Mikey Buh Buh Buh Beeeeee! You’ve been snorting Pelosi Galore’s Botox again now haventcha? ewwwwww!!!!! She’s on YOUR side! Her and Gavin The Gruesome, Mr Sanctuary City himself.

Time to pull the plug on the freak show!

Mikey. You know we love you. But damnation, Boy! Why must you toss your little rubber biscuits at the battleships?

Time for some yoga, Dude.

I won’t feed the troll but once today, but I do want to expose Mikey’s predictable talkin’ points (which is why I now scroll past when I seen his moniker). Here is a partial list of his outline (no, wonder boy, am not quoting you):
-Inserts “war in Iraq” frequently
-Bush is evil
-Gonzales is evil
-Bush/Cheney/Golzales are evil
-We are in Iraq for the oil
-Cheney is evil
-Murdoch is evil
-Fox News is evil (with percentage points and blather about Anna Nichole)
…see a trend?
-Conservatives are evil unless they debate him as that makes them more open minded
-Frequent insults about Hannity,Rush, Ann Coulter, etc. “hijacking” us
-Regular, daily insults about Michelle who he refers to a “MM” (who laughs at him as much as I do)
-Bush cut and run from the real threat: bin Laden
-We are in Iraq for the wrong reasons
-Bush lied. People died
-Culture of corruption
-Clinton was the greatest
-I am voting for Barak–so impressive

Wash.Rinse.Repeat.Repeat.Repeat.

I have been working (yes, I also finished college and have degrees!!) and have not had time to read your blather today so, perhaps, you have had an epiphany and are not spewing your Fahrenheit 911 points and I missed that moment in history.

I have a question for you, MikeB, if you don’t like Michelle Malkin and the good that she does, why are you here? To sway us to the other side? Er, don’t think that will work in this crowd.

Actually, don’t bother answering as it is obvious why you are here—to stir the pot (you lawyers just luv to argue) and, usually, get off topic to hammer home your liberal, stooopid views about the war in Iraq.
(Yes, Michael, I added THREE ooo’s this time). Ah kin spel.

No one minds your political views—even though we have heard most of them several times quoted from more famous people than you. So I will look for your name when I have the next bout of insomnia.

I, for one, am tired of your constantly cutting down Michelle who is, in my humble opinion, one of the best Americans today. She believes in freedom, protecting our borders from the tsunami of illegals (who, by the way, increase crime and have nearly destroyed our health care system—something Michael Moore seems to have missed). She also supports our soldiers in Iraq and their mission. So shove off if you continue in this vein.
