Oh, and try the vindaloo.

He is a “ frothy fool-born canker-blossom,” a “ reeky rough-hewn apple-john,” and a “vain weather-bitten barnacle.”
The war is far less lost than Harry’s sense of patriotism or ability to achieve a lasting erection.
We’ve been playing with the Shakespearean insult generator, haven’t we, gail?
Harry lied, people died.
Harry represents his party, and its constituency, all too well.
Actually, you asked for
Incensed. He’s a “thoughtless little pig”.
Fuck Reid.
According to Sen. Reid, The Battle of the Bulge was incontrovertible proof that D-Day was a catastrophe.
Harry’s run out of hot military semen.
Who is Harry Reid?
” … and when do you redeploy?”
Reid is Kos’ bitch now.
Don’t ask how I feel, it would only open Pandora’s box. I’ve been hankering all day to express my incredible anger at this immature, teenage, narcissic, hypocritical, arrogant, ignorant fool. I have many other choice adjectives, but would best not express them. Oh, what the hell, here’s a few more. He’s the poster boy for the feminization of the American male. He’s a coward, a wuss, a pansy, a girly-man, a panty-waist(or waste, whatever), a Wilbur Milk Toast. What a collossal excuse for a man. Are we sure he even is one?
So, please don’t get me started on this subject, I may not be able reign myself in. Most of all, he’s a TRAITOR to this country. He ought to be prosecuted for treason. I’d like to see him become the poster boy for that. (Oh gee, I forgot that no one gets prosecuted anymore for treason in this country. My bad!)
Now I’ll sign off, because I really don’t want to lose control here. Suffice it to say he is totally unfit for office, and it’s a travesty he was ever elected. Gee, thanks so much, people in Utah who voted for him. For those who didn’t—good for you.
Reaching down deep to say the bravest thing he’s ever said, Harry’s now opened up a clear lead in the early rounds of Rosie O’Donnel’s American Dhimmi.
Let it out, guys. Maybe the dillo will dance the Tarantella.
Or maybe just Can-Can.
If only indignation and outrage could win wars.
If Harry thinks this thing could be won diplomatically, he should go there himself and talk them out of insurgency. If anything, he could bore them to death.
Harry Reid is a blind man searching for a light.
I just wish he’d search for it out in the desert, instead of in a “leadership” position in the United States Senate.
It is truly shameful for our country that he holds a seat there. Will the citizens of Nevada correct that at their next opportunity? Maybe—Daschle is gone afterall…
Strap him to a hummer bumper as an IED detector…
Idiot Wind – Bob Dylan
Don’t fire until you see the whites of his eyes!
If only indignation and outrage could win wars.
Who said al jazeera could participate?
My former father-in-law once summed up how I feel:
“I voted for a Democrat once… I voted to hang him.
Here here, B Moe. I couldn’t have put it better myself. And that’s exactly what he deserves, if traitors actually paid the price for their treason.
Too bad that has fallen by the wayside in this country. We’ll all pay a heavy price for that.
Or maybe the biled yellow?
…Islam would rule the world.
Which might seem off topic, but if that’s the best spin the New York Times can bring, then Harry best be enjoying his day in the sun…
So, I guess the Senator will be voting to de-fund the troops now, right? Put ‘em on the glass, Harry.
Put up or shut up, Harry!
Nuts!
This is “supporting the troops” how? Making them angry helps them fight better or what? How bout you quit wasting everyone’s time and pass some legislation that has some hope of being signed. crapweasel.
Article three, section three. I’d assume the audiance of the national news networks still counts as two or more witnesses…
You folks really know how to keep a Two-Minute Hate going.
Keep it up and the gunslingers over at Riehl’s place are going to be green with envy.
So…does this mean Harry Reid is just a fictional character invented by the BushCo Ministry of Truth? Because, really, that would be a relief.
Actually, I was hoping that you were (“a fictional character.”)
Less facetious answer: the fiction “created by the BushCo Ministry of Truth” would be the Holy Global War on Terror and its use as pretext for the invasion & occupation of Iraq which (as Senator Reid and the majority of American citizens have noticed) was either a terrible mistake or a deliberate deception.
Don’t look back, Harry. R.L.Page might be gaining on you.
Oops, he’s just started sprinting.
Is more incredulousness I think R.L. – Reid is such a shriveled creature – too pathetic for hate – but a creature who has explicitly invested his party in a military defeat that it’s by no means certain they can deliver. The Democrats are signaling that they will ultimately fund the troops – and where will their focus be subsequently? On nurturing feelings – feelings of defeat, of tragedy, of wasted effort, of hopelessness. And then they will say mommy can make it better.
The small hours of the morning are upon us, here in Paradise, so I will leave you folks to find new ways to express your never-ending delusion that you are being victimized by the Big Bad Liberals.
Cold comfort, I know, but it’s about all you’ve got left.
In conclusion, nice nursery mantra, R.L.. But I do think it would be better received in Arabic. Same hint to Harry, just to make the contest equal. [peace be upon it]
Me, I’ve got better things to do at this hour than to interact with a parrotic chicken dhimmi, R.L..
So,
Allah Akbar! et tu quoque, Mohammad – swt, pbuh, rip, aatr
Carry on.
[Damn, I didn’t expect him to return to the Cult Bestiary so abruptly.]
Victimized how?
I only speak for myself, but I suspect a few others here think that Sen. Reid is doing our fighting men and women a disservice by declaring their mission futile at best and a lost cause at worst. How do you get the idea that we’re being somehow “victimized” from that?
I await your scintillating response from “Paradise.”
Oh, and by the way, you may not have noticed, but I’m not the one named Goldstein around here, genius.
Nice upshot of irony, there, R.L. Just before you post this sneering little screed you dumped this:
So … sweet dreams with your never ending delusion of victimization by shadowy fascist neocons constructing world altering events to trick all but the smartest Liberals into believing that there is a deadly threat against our country.
See how that works? BTW: did you know that fire can melt steel? Really! It can!
Blasphemy! How dast you doubt Saint Rosie? No wonder Gaia is warming herself to punish you. To punish us all for your BLASPEHMY!!!
Burn the neocon unbelievers (and buy carbon offsets)!
For a minute there, I thought old R.L. might have something interesting to say. Then I realized that he’s just another garden variety leftist fool who thinks that all the world’s problems are George Bush’s fault, and there are no other reasons.
Victimized. Heh.
A big round of … for R.L. Page, ladies and gentlemen—for whom the phrase, “Christ, what an asshole!” was coined.
Here’s what Sen. Reid meant to say, “Iraq is lost. Let’s invade Darfur instead. I’ll send my children and grandchildren. And, we’ll bring back ROTC to Harvard and Yale!”
Harry Reid and The Left: Supporting the Troops, Helping the Country – One surrender at a time
Some of you may have read the letter reprinted at Malkin’s. I agree with it wholeheartedly: If Dingy Harry hasn’t withdrawn every last molecule of US presence from the region on one week’s time, I want the SOB sued nine ways to Sunday for each liability he’s left there.
Got that Harry? If you haven’t got the balls to bring back every grease fitting, every cotter pin, every police dog, and every shell casing by next Friday afternoon, you shall be held personally liable for as much as a pimple incurred by a bottle washer or a single dime lost in the sand.
Stick that in your little pot pipe from Strobelight Nee-vada and smoke it, you weak-voiced political opportunist. You want to endanger the forces talking the way you do on my tax dollar? Then how about you take personal responsibility.
For anything for a change, Democrat.
Here’s the thing about Harry.
Reid: “This war is lost, and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq.”
So, Reid is saying that if there is “violence” in a war zone, then that means the war has been lost. This statement amazes me, but not nearly so much as his next statement, made in an effort to rehabilitate his image on the floor of the Senate.
“The longer we continue down the President’s path, the further we will be from responsibly ending this war. I said it yesterday, I say it again. The longer we continue down the President’s path, the further we will be from responsibly ending this war.”
Notice what he’s not saying? He’s not saying: “The longer we continue down the President’s path, the further we will be from winning the war.”
He doesn’t want to “win” the war. He wants to “end” the war.
We can never win the war in Iraq as long as Harry Reid is in the Senate. The tree of liberty needs pruning.
“Cold comfort, I know, but it’s about all you’ve got left. “
No. There’s a new WMD conspiracy on the loose. WMDs man! It even has a website!
How many Reid’s would I trade for one of these guys?
*Yawn*
More lefties spouting their willingness to abandon little brown people to the slaughter. Even making it clear they would never have tried to free the little brown people from a genocidal, rape-room running, international criminal regime.
idiot
Harry Reid: Chickenjihaddi
My own view? Harry’s feathering the nest so that when he’s brought up on corruption charges he can claim it was a politically motivated witch hunt for what he said about the war. And he’ll find a willing audience.
Not much to argue with there, emmadine. Because there’s not much there. Not much at all.
Back to the topic, if I could get Senator Reid or some anti-war Democrat to actually listen to me, I’d tell them they’re indulging in a self fullfilling prophecy with their “the war is lost” talk. I’d tell them they can’t possibly succeed at anything challenging if they quit whenever it gets hard. I’d tell them as long as the U.S. military still thinks they can succeed in the counter-insurgency operation underway in Iraq that we ought to give them as much help and support as we can. If I could just get any anti-war Democrat to listen to me.
Ask yourself: What will happen to Harry Reid and the democrats if the mission in Iraq succeeds?
What did FDR know about Kasserine Pass, and when did he know it?!
klrfz1–
Which would be my answer to Sully, if I felt he deserved one.
59% of the American public consider Iraq a mistake – which, by my count, would include all Democrats and independents, and a good chunk of conservatives, as well.
Sounds to me like Sen. Reid is pretty firmly in the majority.
Which is why it’s a good idea to betray the troops, and give aid and comfort to the enemy.
I think 70% realize that Filty Harry is an ass.
Extended tours, stop/loss, insufficient body/Humvee armor, thousands of troops dead, tens of thousands more injured/maimed…
Who’s betraying the troops and being treasonous to the country again?
Based on your list, I’d say FDR, you chimp.
Yeah, Iraq II is just like World War II.
Moron.
Strange that those who call themselves “progressives†haven’t been able to progress much since 1968, don’t you think?
Because everybody knows that the the really smart boys relate everything in 2007 to 1943.
[How’s that for a “nice upshot of irony?” Have fun.]
*sniff…sniff*
Do I smell the stench of monky-poo, re-thrown by the thrice re-incarnated?
As for Ried, the man is obviously power drunk, believing he can defeat the US military with only his will.
1) Reid is an American’t.
2) Theo – I never answer polls and I vote. And I’m not alone.
3) What is it with the talking-point trolls? I mean, are tropes all you have? Come on, give us some meat!
Which, of course, assumes that “your Democrats” are a monolithic, groupthink-type bloc. Which they aren’t – yet. Fortunately there are rural Democrats who haven’t yet bought into the bicoastal fringe element that has hijacked their party.
Idiot.
I’m a Loser is his national anthem.
I see. I also see that I didn’t say it was. Rather (no pun) I implied that by your neat little list, one would be naturally drawn to paint a parallel.
As in, how was WWII devoid of inadequacy, misjudgement, carnage, loss, cost, the benefit of hindsight, etc.
Assuming, of course, that that’s your point? I mean, I’m willing to bet the Arizona lies at the bottom of the bay because, to use your useless rhetoric, it was inadequately armored.
Any world political events today can be easily compared to the Second World War, its immediate root causes and its immediate aftermath just because there’s so much to choose from. Given how little most Americans actually know about history, and how narrowly focused what little knowledge they have is, its not surprising how easily our trolls dig themselves into a hole when the subject comes up. I suspect that if there was some agreement between both sides to leave World War 2 comparisons out of the picture, the trolls would whine about the loss of their favorite epithets for conservatives, fascist and Nazi, comparisons which are far less rooted in reality than comparing the armor on Humvees to the armor on Shermans.
How so? How exactly, Sir R. L. Page III, would ActionChimp’s little list not relate to nearly every war ever fought?
Here it is again:
Assuming, that is, that someone of your mental magnificence
canwould do the translation, era to era, conflict to conflict, and hardware to hardware.Which is certainly an assumption, I fully admit.
Come on Einstein, let ‘er rip. Or are you and/or the esteemed Left merely being disengenuous, rhetorical, partisan, sanctimonious, diversionary, parsing, exclusionary/inclusionary, opportunistic, dishonest, and in light of the above, downright mendacious?
Because Dingy Harry certainly is, that backwoods churl. Do forgive my broad brush.
Unless you and Theo here, with his little Balloon Fence, can park the Humvee issue convincingly on Dubya’s desk and there alone, I suggest you shut your aimless piehole. I’m not buying it.
And then feel free to get busy with the rest of your dissertation. I got all day.
Extraordinarily lame. Got anything else?
Dirt Bermsâ„¢.
Like Filthy Harry says, the Democrats are intensely serious about the debate and about national security. And what the Honorable Senator says surely must be the gospel truth.
Pardon my ignorance but what is stop/loss? I thought that was an term used in stock trading.
Geez, I guess I am a moron. Actually wanting an anti-war Democrat to listen to me. I’m so ashamed.
I believe that Theo is a different ‘tard, and not the late monkyboy/alphie/Neville Chaimberlain. But it wouldn’t surprise me to know that they’re related.
Don’t feel bad, they have to have their arms twisted just to listen to Petreaus.
Why don’t you try asking someonw who’s living the extended tours and stop loss? There is not insufficiency of body or HMMWV armor. Thousands? Lets extrapolate Desert Storm over the period of the current conflict and we’d have lost 71,000 not 3,000. No matter what you do to the figures, this is the most bloodless conflict in history.
Let’s talk about who’s betraying us. I’ve got a Senate Majority leader on record as saying both that the war is already lost (follwed by being hopeful for success, however that works) and that the war will not be defunded. Now I’m just a poor dumb Army Sergeant, so use small words, please, but explain to me how it is that if the war is lost, that continuing ot fund it isn’t just continuing to leave us, abeit with “full support” in a hopeless postion? Are we supposed to fell uplifted b y this? Am I just missing the loving warm fuzzy coming from that side of the Senate chamber?
And while you’re at it, perhaps you’d be willing to tell me where your oh-so solicitous concern for our well-being and support was in the decades before the War on Terror? Please be specific, I’d like to know that your concern and compassion aren’t simple political expedients.
Well – sniff, sniff – at least the GWOT is in fact a success – thus far, for those of you in Rio Linda.
No more 9/11-like attacks = primary goal.
Hence also, no economy crashing from attacks, and instead running to near perfection by all conventional standards.
Fighting “them there instead of here”, as AQ agrees is the case = primary goal.
Iran becoming more and more defined as the festering threat it is, isolated, and tactically surrounded.
Background of Dems with no plan except surrender/the self-fullfilling prophecy of ineluctable defeat noted above by klrfz1 = enslavement or death.
Maggie,
If I were a Congressional Democrat, especially in the Senate, I’d be embarassed to have to face GEN Petraeus, so I’m sure that’s the explanation.
I mean, how do you confirm a man to go perform a strategy that you beleive has failed or will fail? And then to have to face him? And worse, to have him tell you he’s making progress?
For Harry, the only land worth fighting for are subdividable parcels North of Las Vegas.
Uh, guys? You might want to check out this new WaPo poll. Seems 62% of Americans are traitors discouraging the troops–JUST LIKE HARRY REID!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/polls/postpoll_041607.html?hpid=topnews
Which would make it a good bet they’re dating.
Yes. I’ll have to update the statistic.
Interestin’ political strategy there, RTO: tell the majority of Americans to go to hell, we’re stayin’ in Iraq no matter what. I’m goin’ to have to talk that one over with Karl.
You’d do well to pay attention to it, Sir. It’s not popular but it is honest, you know like White House policy before November 2006.
(Yes, I know it’s not the real GWB.)
I hear that Mister President. While you’re at it, please tell the majority of Americans to go to hell, because we’re not giving away two cars in every garage and two birds in every pot just because they vote for it. Please start with Dingy Harry.
Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens.
tell the majority of Americans to go to hell, we’re stayin’ in Iraq no matter what
Excellent strategy, sir! Whith such a strategy we’ll certainly hang on to both houses of Congress in 2006! Also, such a strategy assuredly won’t drive your popularity down to 31% and ensure a Democratic president and expanded Democratic majorities in Congress in 2008! Full speed ahead on the “f–k you, voters, strategy”! Excelsior!
Hey Karl, have you seen where the Democrat Congress is polling these days? They’d love to have Dubya’s numbers.
See you in ‘08, big fella.
Live as brave men, and if fortune is advers, front it’s blows with brave hearts.
Unless, of course, you’re a 21st Century Democrat. If that’s the case, no amount of exhortation is going to get you over that yellow streak down your belly.
Courage is being scared to death–but saddling up anyway.
‘Course, Congressional Democrats ride East when the scary thing is West and still want credit for getting the saddle on.
OMFG AID & CUMFORT!!1!
No dumb bastard ever won a war by listening to Harry Reid.
I have not yet begin to surrender
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is home of the brave.
‘Nuff said.
Oh. Look. Theo’s playing more of the same games he was in an earlier thread.
You know, Theo, for a smart guy, you’re pretty stupid.
So, do you want us to give up on just Iraq, or on the idea of combating radical Islam altogether?
America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
Ah, Reid’ll just tell you I was drinking with Sam Rayburn when I said that.
Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.
>BUUURP<
Just wanted to say hi, thanks and bye
