Quote of the Day

Filed in National by on June 3, 2009

It’s amazing how much the American Taliban resembles the Islamic one. Their gods have different names, but want the same end goals.

    Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiit [/Clay Davis], I’ve been saying that since 1998!

    Actually it’s the same God… the Abrahamic, Old Testement one… and it has the same name as well, “god”. Allah just means god in Arabic, Erdu and Farsi. Different earthly prophets is the difference (the M guy versus the J dude). And different holy books… Same end goals though. No disagreement there. Plus they are both fake…

    Nit picky I know. Sorry.

    But did u ever say it on twitter? ;-{)

  4. Dorian Gray says:

    Well, I guess based on the Tertullian Triune god deal, the J dude is god too… so maybe they are different… ah, who fucking knows. This bullshit is so silly.

  5. People have been calling portions of the religious right the “American taliban” for some time. They both want to establish religious law over the populace.

  6. Dorian Gray says:

    Just listened to NYT’s Dexter Filkins on NPR. He retold a horrific story from Afghanistan…

    So what is the difference between killing an abortion doc and throwing acid in a girl’s face for going to school?

    Terrorize others into not doing what is legal but you deem immoral on religious grounds. Yeah, that about explains it…

  7. Remember this is the America of religious freedom…meaning you can worship the Christian God any way you want.

    Because the founding fathers loved to say the pledge of allegiance and sing God bless america with their In God We Trust printed on their money.

    Wait that stuff didn’t happen?

    This would be a funnier post if it wasn’t based on actual people.

  8. Wow, your poll question was tough. It was hard to pick just one. I had to go with RwR.

    Murder Boy is my dark horse favorite to win this thing.

  10. nemski says:

    What no multiple choice? Off to the crapper to determine the choice.

    RWR is a for-profit blogger and link-spammer from Texas. I am not sure why he was included in this list.

  12. pandora says:

    Aw… I got all sentimental. 😉

  13. jason330 says:

    This could be the only election Mike P ever wins.

  14. I chose RwR because he’s just a spammer and he defended the murder of Dr. Tiller. I’d take Mike P. second because he comes here to call everyone stupid and leaves.

  15. Candidate for tomorrow’s quote of the day?

    Today’s Republican Party: An out-of-control GOP base doing all they can to alienate every voting bloc to the left of Jesse Helms, and a Republican leadership pretending to have nothing to do with it while fooling no one.

    FSP is fading, but it looks like David A is making it a horse race with Mike P.

  17. nemski says:

    Might I suggest a runoff between to top three for tomorrow?

  18. jason330 says:

    Oh yes. I’m sad that Tom S is not in the running. He is a tool.

  19. anonone says:

    I voted for Mike P because, as someone else pointed out, he is Delaware repub’s very own Baghdad Bob.

  20. rhubard says:

    “…he comes here to call everyone stupid and leaves….”

    It could be worse. At least he leaves.

  21. jason330 says:

    Okay. Who voted for G? For one thing he is awesome (for a conservative) and for another thing, he has not been around enough to be disliked.

  22. ‘Bulo found it hard to choose between David A. and Prozac since their postings make him want to claw his own eyes out. Both lack what, IESHO, should be a minimal standard for posting…logic and coherence.

    Prozac posts more, so ‘bulo opted for SkyPilot. Besides, Eric Burdon wrote a song about him.

  23. ‘Bulo you only say that about David because he doesn’t hang out in your threads.
