From this article, complaining about a conservative site that highlights bias (sometimes wrongly, in my opinion), they do the old bait and switch at the end.

Laura Bush complains that the media isn’t talking about the schools being built.  The LA Times has a piece about how students in Iraq are being targeted by terrorists.  This kostard puts the two together as if it’s proof that the schools are  not being built.

Wait, that’s too logical.  The person who wrote this article says nothing about the schools being built or not.  He/She/It puts these two stories together for the sole purpose of making someone think that building schools in Iraq is a failure because the students can’t go to school.  I’m guessing that this kostard points this out as a reason why building schools shouldn’t be talked about.

So the U.S. builds schools in Iraq, and terrorists threaten and kidnap students, so the schools are a failure?  You must be joking.  Seriously, how stupid are you if you believe that line of reasoning?  If a school was built here, and the KKK started threatening and kidnapping students, would you honestly say the school shouldn’t have been built and it proves that the people who built it failed in their job?  Hell no!  You’d say, “Let’s lynch us some KKK fuckballs and let these kids get back to school!”

You really have to be deranged to blame the U.S. for terrorists acting like terrorists.  Remember, they’ve been doing this shit for centuries, even before the U.S. was created, so don’t even pretend we caused it.

And to go along with the image in this post, I offer a song:

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance

From Daily Kos:

Bush, being a petulant prick again:

At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.

Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.

“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, according to the source.

Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source [...].

So lemme get this straight, Bush asks Webb how Webb’s son is doing in Iraq.  Webb responds he wants to see his son home.  Bush says he didn’t ask what Webb wanted, he asked how his son was doing in Iraq.  Webb is therefore furious and wants to hit Bush.

dKos translation: Bush is a prick?

dKos title: “Too Bad He Didn’t Swing”?!

Kos’s puerile interpretation is beneath contempt.

Update 20061130: Even MORE evidence that Webb is a belligerent buffoon and dKos is a social misfit:

From the Washington Post:

“How’s your boy?” Bush asked, referring to Webb’s son, a Marine serving in Iraq.

“I’d like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President,” Webb responded, echoing a campaign theme.

“That’s not what I asked you,” Bush said. “How’s your boy?”

“That’s between me and my boy, Mr. President,” Webb said coldly, ending the conversation on the State Floor of the East Wing of the White House [...]

I have never in my life heard someone say, in reference to a question about their child, “That’s between me and my boy.” It’s like Webb didn’t know what to say except his talking points from his campaign.

And dKos?

The Washington Post doesn’t include Webb’s desire to slug the president. Which was endearing in its own right.

Yeah… socially retarded. Kos is the kid who admired the bullies in school, as long as they didn’t pick on him.

From Victor Davis Hanson’s site, “Politics and War, Then and Now“:

Carter reminds me of the timid parent who spanks hard the good son for the rare misdemeanor because he takes it with silence while giving a pass to the wayward son for the daily felony because he would throw a public fit if corrected.

Just like what I said about North Korea.
