Alternately, it may be that this chick is just bucking for Secretary General of the UN—in which case she’s already got the right masters using her like a ventriloquist’s dummy.
So maybe congratulations are in order.

The comments section was pretty funny and not what I expected. In the first 20 comments, there is only one poster defending the useful idiot and the conversation quickly breaks down to the use of American Idol in psychological warfare
Let’s see, diary recommended by 4 people. Comments section generally negative.
Yep, sounds like “annainpalestine” is clearly representative of all Kos posters and leftists.
This man, on the other hand…
This man, on the other hand….
Wields the all-mighty power of the Infinity Gems and has ridden the mighty moon worm! You will bow before your master, you leperous dog!
AJB, that truly was a pathetic attempt at the ol’ “Hey, look in the sky!” ploy.
AJB, with more brilliance. Yours is truly a case of being, “stuck on stupid”. Isn’t that the diplomacy your side wants so badly? No? Realism, I think it’s called?
RFN, any idea when your side is going to practice ANY diplomacy? A little news: a cluster bomb is a form of diplomacy only in a Chuck Norris movie.
Meanwhile, the first part of AJB’s post is dead on: the comments are negative. Doesn’t sound to me like she’s exactly representative. Then again, Jeff likes to go on a bit about cartoons…I guess that posting helps your cartoon of all the “Dhimmicrats”?
Nice work
As we used to post in college:
POT.
KETTLE.
BANG!
Timmy – have we started dropping bombs on the Norks yet? No? So we must not be talking to them at all, then, by your logic.
First we are told that all of the comments at these sites are only comments of readers and should not be used to make a point about the left. Then when an article or post is criticized, we are told that the comments disapproved of it, so we should not use it to make a point. Whatever.
While individual comments at LGF are indicative of the entire commentariat and site host.
I too have often dreamt of wandering Palestine, warbling my way through a repertoire of early 90s smash hits. Anna, she lives the dream. Truly she shames us all.
Mmm Mmm. That’s some good pablum. Tastes good, huh, timmy?
Um, why do the folks at DailyKos allow entire posts like this? Because a lot of people truly believe this garbage. There may be some dissent in the comments, but the comments are just the comments- it’s not the original post.
I think Bush has handled domestic traitors with total diplomacy. All carrot no stick.
Cluster bombs are useful in diplomacy. Armies facing them tend to wish (aloud) that their leaders would negotiate rather than fight.
Sometimes armies facing cluster bombs elect not to enforce their leaders policies… by revolt, surrender, or retreat.
Then there is regime change brought about by Bush administration led diplomacy.
France.
Germany.
You mean like in the picture AJB linked to?
…was a presidential envoy, a diplomat. This woman on the other hand…
We must have bombed the shit out of Libya, I suppose.
B Moe, the Democrats want us to talk with “so-called” “evil” “regimes” like Syria, Iran, North Korea. Listen to their concerns.
But for god’s sake don’t shake their hands! That just goes too far.
No source states that the famous military scientist Karl von Clausewitz ever starred in cheap-ass action movies, but he clearly declared that “War is diplomacy by other means”. Considering also that diplomacy – among people of normal intellect -is regarded as means to avhieve a certain end, and that the use of brute force has resolved a huge number of conflicts in the course of history, I conclude that Clausewitz was right.
And that Colonel Braddock would kick Ranger Walker’s ass any day an twice on sunday.
one Palestinian girl suggested that we sing her favorite song, “I Will Always Love You,†by Whitney Houston. So we sang together as we came around corners to soldiers
The law on the ground might be a bit shaky, but can’t these assholes get chased off solely for endangering the troops performing the searches?
I mean, I’m sure the dignified, heroic “resistance” wouldn’t have set up booby traps to be used against them or anything like that, but still…
TW: simply48
Man, that thing is creepy sometimes.
Unless you’re a Democrat. Then it’s all good. Hell, you can even sign autographs for them.
Pablo, I guess the Democrats use the right kind of hand sanitizer.
It’s the Maddy Allbright School of Diplomacy:
SHAKE BOOTY! NOT HANDS!
Jeff – I know there is history behind the use of phrase “useful idiots”, but wouldn’t “useless idiots” be a more appropriate description in circumstances such as these?
I agree with first poster tim maguire: I was very pleasantly surprised by the comment thread. The judenhass was nonexistent, and the tone much less “fist in the air radical” than I’ve seen previously seen in Kos threads, particularly where Israel is concerned. Perhaps the Hamas/Fatah struggle for political control & the resulting casualties are finally getting the idea through their skulls that the misery in Palestine is not Israel’s fault. It’s a small point, but it gives me hope that the left is capable of rational thought. Too bad it took them so long to get even so short a distance…
I somehow drew a cartoon by, er, linking to a post somebody else wrote?—somebody who spent time with these butchers and returned home to unleash propaganda on readers of a site that is frequented by leftwing policy makers?
Man, I thought only Karl Rove had that kind of power.
But let’s see him make some chick he doesn’t know go rub elbows with the “Martyrs” Brigade, then come home and humanize them (opposing them to the “Occupiers”).
I AM ALL POWERFUL! FEAR ME!
ndIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Any idea if the chick is hot?
Somehow, the whole “we will fight to protect our homeland” speech plays better than the “we will suicide bomb civilians in pizza shops, ice cream stores, busses and discos.”
Of course, I don’t blame them. After all, every time they go against Israel in a straight up fight they get thier asses handed to them. It’s a pretty tough thing to stomach, as a “holy soldier of Allah”, that you constantly have to resort to terrorism instead of real war because you suck at war fighting.
“C’mon over Maddy, whole lotta shakin’goin’ on…”
Which is how you can tell that they’re all righteous and stuff. No wonder the left wants us to lose to the Islamists. It’s the moral high road!
I just wish they’d line up at the head chopping block first.
Only the names change.
Taggart: What do you want me to do, sir?
Hedley Lamarr: I want you to round up every vicious criminal and gunslinger in the west. Take this down.
[Taggart looks for a pen and paper while Hedley talks]
Hedley Lamarr: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.
Taggart: [finding pen and paper] Could you repeat that, sir?
OK, I’m a Methodist, where do I sign up?
Slightly OT, but can anybody tell me why DKos is considered a blog? With all those idjuts fingerpainting their limited thoughts in their “diaries”, it seems that it is more like a message board, except for morons. No wonder he gets so many hits, they’re all reading their own drivel.
Totalitarian regimes come and go, but useful idiots are forever.
We’re in a world where quoting someone is “sliming” them. Where reporting someone’s actions has been declared a horrific crime against decency. Where pointing out someone’s avowed political associations is declared “McCarthyism”.
But where accusations of horrific crimes and atrocities are “dissent”, so long as the target’s right politically.
It isn’t a message board. It’s a “leaderless movement”. With one guy getting the money and the tv face time.
and the MENTOS!!!
C’MON, YOU GUYS/GALS, THE DEM-ISLAMIST ALLIANCE MEANS DEEP TROUBLE FOR THE US
The Dems Hate the Republicans, and they will do anything to defeat them. They are moral relativists, and they do not care about the consequences for America. They would rather hold power in a defeated America than stand out of power in a victorious America. They hate the fact that this is Bush’s war, that if the US wins, Bush wins. If Bush wins, the Dems may lose the next election. They will do anything to stop Bush.
I have said this before, but I lacked a ‘teachable moment’. It should be completely clear by now that the Dems will ally themselves with Islamists to defeat Bush. They are already doing it. They don’t care about what it does to America. Once they get power at all three levels of government, the Dems will blame Bush for everything, including the ‘defeat’ they cause in Iraq.
The did it before with Vietnam, and they will do it here. In Vietnam, they denied funding to South Vietnam, which left them helpless when the North broke Kissinger’s peace treaty and invaded. The Dems smiled, and blamed Nixon. And it worked—the public believed them then, and still do now. Just watch, in the coming months, Dems will get deeper in bed with Islamists. Who knows what Pelosi discussed with Syria. Whatever it was, it was not good. Syria immediately arrested many dissidents after that meeting, as if they felt empowered to do so. In future, with the Dems in power, and terrorist attacks proliferate in the US, they will blame Bush. He ‘stirred them up’.
After 8 years of Dem rule, the US could well be speaking arabic.
emphasis mine
Funny she should mention indiscriminate detention, a friend of mine grew up as a Catholic in Syria. He tells of being picked up off the street, being taken to the police station and being beaten. This happened ‘because.’ The main reason would be that the police were bored and the victim was closest. An actual reason he was given was that he probably had done something wrong and deserved the beating. For this he carries a very bitter hatered for the land of his birth, and refuses to return for any reason. He’s waiting for the date for his US citizenship right now, a very proud man.
And that’s when the dirty atrocity-committin’ Israelis killed her, right? Right?
She must be lying….
BECAUSE OF THE MOVING GOALPOSTS!!!
Speaking of the Greenwalds, I see they’re still up to their old tricks.
It almost fisks itself. Politicians…inconsistent? Horrors. It’s definitely a right-wing affliction, dontcha know. And of course, when Fred Thompson asks that Scooter Libby be pardoned, that’s blind allegiance to his right-wing masters, whereas when Clinton pardoned Marc Rich and a host of other felons, that was The Right Thing To Do.
Oh, and Clinton’s obstruction of justice? Just like Libby’s. Suborning perjury? Just the same. Concealing evidence? Exactly like a disagreement in oral testimony. Clinton getting disbarred, and hit with a contempt citation? All a result of the right-wing political assassination machine.
If the guy even reads his own stuff anymore, he can’t help but keep himself in stitches.
Hey, Slart. There’s big money in throwing red meat to the hungry proggs. Just ask Kos, Atrios, et al (both of whom, incidentally, were mentioned in Mad Magazine this month—which I believe is one of the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse…)
Please tell me it wasn’t an approving mention.
Well, at least he’s finally previously a constitutional law and civil rights litigator.
That previously was a long time coming.
It had something to do with being frequent guests on Air America.
Mad’s politics haven’t changed since Vietnam. In fact, you could easily insert some of their material from the early 70s into today’s issues, and no one would be able to tell the difference.
Except me.
Because the drawing was better back then.
Mad also runs Ted Rall. But what can I say? I’m nostalgic, so I subscribe. My collection got tossed by my parents (I recobbled it through eBay); so I subscribed again when my son was born. When he’s older, he’ll be free to do with his collection as he wishes.
Who’s Al?…
Yes, timmy, we have used NO diplomacy at any time or any place. I just can’t take you seriously when you’re this daft, Timmah!
tw: hard29
hehehehehe
It’s true! Diplomacy didn’t even exist as a word until cluster munitions were invented.
Well, the last two Dem Presidents used Diplomacy you know.
Carter used it twice I can think of:
1. With a Swamp Rabbit
2. With the Iranian Ayatollah
Clinton used it at least once:
1. Having Aunt Bee dance with Lil Kim of N. Korea
That all worked out really well. Two of the three that we know of are now getting nuclear weapons.
Dude, that’s harsh. What did Aunt Bea ever do to deserve that?
Well, we can definitely call them “useful idiots” NOW:
Cause if it’s on the internet it must be true!
Someone on this board once called me Aunt Bee.
oh no they dih-int!
