Via Insty, Eric Posner on Bill “Guilty as Sin, Free as a Bird” Ayers:
ERIC POSNER: Was Bill Ayers a terrorist? Pretty much. “Under current law, Ayers was a terrorist. This definition is not idiosyncratic; similar definitions can be found in the laws of foreign countries and in international treaties. Ayers seems to think he ought to be excused for violence because his motives were good, but that is the excuse that terrorists always offer.â€Â
Before you start accusing me of ODS, let me admit up front that I’m pretty alarmy, because the civil liberties watchdog groups would be howling bloody murder if eeeeeeeeevil Booooooooooosh had suggested the same.

Baracky lied when he said this terrorist academic vagina was just a guy in his neighborhood and none of William’s mewling victimy maunderings change that. Baracky and his woman hang with some shady and cowardly-assed fuckers.

These are Baracky’s friends. It is who they are. Just like Rezko. Gov. Blagojevich. Rev. Wright. Racist Grandma.

Ushie, no fair writing the epitaph on the Obama administration before it’s begun.

“…hang with some shady and cowardly-assed fuckers.”
But they are living shady and cowardly-assed fuckers, as opposed to say, the people they had a hand in killing.

Dan, I’m thinking the media will be so through the looking glass for Barack that he could shoot his wife in front of them at a press conference and the only mention would be to suggest she suffered a hangnail.

They’ll blame his white half!

Of course the pampered spoiled brat wants an excuse. He was always indulged with that, why not now?
He is another that doesn’t like it when he is forced to look in a mirror.

I keep forgetting about his white half…

It’s only used when it suits teh narrative.
Comment by happyfeet on 12/7 @ 3:35 pm #
I think that’s probably true. He’s only the first black president until the next one comes along and then for real we’ll see who the racists are I tell you what.

Lynching will be seen as acceptable. I denounce myself!

Well, Dan, after reading your first sentence in this post it would appear you’ve invented another anagram to identify these sh_tballs: GASFABs.
I’m lost in admiration!
Comment by Dan Collins on 12/7 @ 5:34 pm #
Wow, mal. Glad you’re there to invent my genius.

GASFABs. Has a primacord sort of ring to it.

“Ayers seems to think he ought to be excused for violence because his motives were good,”
Even though sincerity is the cheapest of the Virtues, that doesn’t prevent y’all from mitigating the errors of the swooning, functional moron, GWB on that very basis.
Mirror, mirror on the wall…………..

Maybe if you put SemenKKKleo’s comments in babelfish, have them translated to Farsi, then to Chinese, and then back to English, maybe, just maybe, there is a semblence of a point to them. I suspect it is still just gibberish.
