Oh well. Looks like my several pleas of last week calling for substantial discussion on Iraq (in lieu of the kind of silly, canned chickenhawk rhetoric so fetishized by the anti-war left) has fallen on deaf ears. But no worries: Blackfive, Armed Liberal, Baldilocks, James Joyner, Tigerhawk, the Indepundit, and Donald Sensing have taken up the cause.
For my part, I’ve decided that if you truly believe that the most vociferous anti-war protesters are hurting the war effort—and if you truly believe in the strategic righteousness of the Iraq campaign—then strapping on a rifle and shooting dissenters where they stand (or, failing that, strafing the local Starbucks) is the only legitimate way to show your commitment to the war!

update: I’m going to conclude, based on his three trackbacks to this post, that ISOU’s David Anderson—the blogosphere’s reigning King of Self-Righteous Outrage and Dogged Adherence to a Particularly Foul Bit of Discredited Rhetorical Trickery—wants some attention. So please, be so kind as to help a brother out, would you?

update 2: Make that four trackbacks. BECAUSE OF THE RIGHTEOUS OUTRAGE!
A special shout out goes to David Anderson at In Search of Utopia, whose dogged adherence to the chickenhawk meme is surpassed only by his dogged adherence to his own sense of moral superiority and self righteousness—both of which conspire to blind him to the flabbiness of his own thinking.
But they all support the troops, ya know.
Sweet Jesus, that Utopia blog is freaking boring. The only high point was a picture of Mariah Carey from back when she was hot.
This confirms something I’ve always suspected–namely, that Pacino was actually saying, “Say! Hello Jew, my little friend,” in that scene in Scarface. Jeff is obviously just responding to the subliminal greeting.
So, having defended the 5th Amendment against eminent encroachment, you are going to rectify the 2nd?
Hmmmm … wonder if those eminent domain actions would have been different had they contemplated the prospect of armed insurrection.
Thomas Jefferson would have instigated it.
(Ahhh knows you is kiddin’. Let them speak – let us speak, that’s all we askin’ …)
Damn those long lines at Starbucks!
The safe place to stand is behind Jeff while he’s waving that minigun around.
SB: seemed
“He seemed like such a nice, quiet young man…”
I don’t think you’d find the anti-war types at Starbucks. Strafing the local coffee shop that the evil, imperialist, third-world, war-monger supporting, corporate-bastard, coffee shop is trying to put out of business would do the trick.
Might I suggest sending them a bag of pot brownies baked with X-lax instead? For optimal impact, go on Tuesday’s Open Mic Poetry Reading Night.
Jeff,
Try a MK19 for major havok wreaking. Or maybe an M249. Please, just leave the Caribou Coffee on Golf Road in Schaumburg, Illinois alone. Good luck, and good hunting.
I HAD TO KILL THEM BECAUSE I LOVE AMERICA SO MUCH, OFFICER!
Wasn’t that a scene from The Fisher King?
Haven’t quite made it to movies from the 90s?
Jeff, you get in the coolest blog fights. Can I be a minion?
Sure thing. Consider yourself indoctrinated in my wingnut hate club.
I want to be in Jeff’s double-secret ninja GAY PORN COCK OF LIES wingnut hate club.
Did you notice the line, “…who has suddenly went into a trackback orgy…”
Yikes. I’m sorry, but anyone who doesn’t know the difference between the past tense and the past participle forfeits any right to credibility in my eyes.
Damn straight, CC. He gone and makes an ass of hisself.
Are we sure that Anderson cat is serious? He reads a lot like IraqWarWasWrongBlog.
Also, why’s he bring up body armor in every post?
because of the HYPOCRISY!!!
<whining>… but, I didn’t get a trackback Jeffiepoo!!!! Chadster, your friend, doesn’t like me and called me a “Longwinded Troll” on RandomFate!!! Said I used profanity!!! And, that I couldn’t spell!!! Hurt my feelings miserably…<sob>. He also inferred I was male <gasp!>, after having explicity explained in an earlier post that I did not carry the same equipment as he did; equipment he may use to do his thinking..<it must be those non-pithy one word remarks- i.e. “Underpants”>..is he, perhaps, mentally challenged? Maybe he requires pictures…since reading seems to cause him great difficulty. I’d be willing to donate some 3rd-grade readers to the cause…
Sometimes, it is just too diffcult to explain the birds and bees to some people…but, then again, he may actually be the type that believes the lies indicating condoms don’t prevent STDs or pregnancy…
We anti-Iraq-war types like deep ellum coffee hives where they do Kerouc and cool beat music…man…<click>

LMFAO…you know..I had to give that up!
