New Rule
It is more dangerous to say that hoping millions of Americans die in a torrent of fire at the hands of Osama bin Laden is treason than it is to say that you hope millions of Americans die in a torrent of fire at the hands of Osama bin Laden so that your party gains politically.
I should be tried, convicted and put to death.
I do enjoy Liberalgeek’s new rule for me: if at the end of one of my screeds someone is dead, edit said screed until you bring the dead back to life.
It is still stunning to me that you are the bad guy among the delicate, hot house flowers on the left.
DD’s not the bad guy, but, yes, calling for someone’s execution tends to distract from the real message.
That’s what I do best: distract from my real message. Another thing I have in common with the right.
For the record on the current POLL, my vote wins: insert name (KARL MALDEN) dies!
Who? I was pleased to see that Zsa Zsa Gabor survived the great Celebrity Death Parade of 2009. She was in the hospital all last week, but was released yesterday.
Malden did the American Express commercials during the 80s…the guy in the fedora with the big snoz.

Yet, Abe Vigoda is still alive.
DD — I think the rule is: Repubs are allowed hyperbole and are allowed to HIDE their actual literal interpretation by crying “hyperbole!” and “free speech.”
Democrats are only allowed to be literal. Hyperbole is not allowed, since it serves to bring out the sniffing, crying Republicans with their chorus of “shame on you” and “aren’t you terrible.”
Literally, I think that words can be treasonous. And people who commit treason can be tried and punished. And calling people treasonous isn’t treason.
PM – Then Steve Newton is right in asking about Jane Fonda. Did she commit treason way back and, if so, why is she still walking the earth?
Remember that my view is that this does not warrant execution.
or Kennedy/Johnson’s escalation in Vietnam? Johnson’s shipping companies made how much?
or Iraq has WMDs? Haliburton made how much?
or the “Sky is Falling” with global warming?…and Al Gore with his new $100 million net worth.
All politicians have to create crises to show how they’ve saved us from ourselves…and funny how they all seem to prosper.
