D, So I'm right, just not for the right reason? How do you know what else I read on this board? The fact is I can only debate so many nitwits at once. If I were to respond to every misguided, uninformed twit here, I'd spend my whole day typing. I'd have no time to dedicate to the advancement of capitalism and globalism. Besides, rasrave seems to be holding up fine under the usual lefty pacifict squall on other threads.
As much as I dislike having to say I agree with Jesse Helms, someone has to stand up and say NO to finacing a boondogle like the UN. If Jesse will take the heat for it, more power to him.
PCS, you have to be the pettiest, most argumentative fucker I've ever had to deal with. You just wear me out. Despite your denials, the implications of your referencing the Darymple article are clear. I simply wanted to make clear that the US media has been scrupulous about not casting ethnic aspersions. Something I figured you might appreciate. Can't even throw you a bone without you complaining.
Yes, I've travelled quite extensively outside the US, and I'll put my list of passport stamps up against yours any day. Presumptuous jerk.
The point of the Newsweek MSNBC reference was to note to a source of information that had immediate relevance to the conversation and included a great deal of historical context clearly unknown to the posters here. And that it came from the usually banal Newsweek/MSNBC.
And please don't say Noam Chomsky or Edward Said in the same breath with the words "repectable" or "commentator". It does violence to the language and might give the impression that either of those two blowhards have the slightest idea what the fuck they are talking about. Both are so consistently proven dead wrong (although for the right reasons) that I can't fathom why we have to sacrifice trees to print their shit. But, I guess the first amendment has to apply everyone, no matter how stupid. If you want liberal rambling, try Christofer Hitchens, at least he's funny.
