What are you talking about? They got another minute of Bill Ayers video footage. That’s good for at least half a dozen new conspiracy theories.
You’re demanding consistency from the nutroots, and that’s adorable. But it’s never going to be fulfilled. We’re going to hear about how Obama is sticking it to the liberals and we should all feel betrayed today. But tomorrow, it’s right back to “secret muslim terrorist” and “defeat and retreat!” and “Why does Obama hate America?!”

That’s actually one more political reason why staying in Afghanistan is such a bad idea. Every day we’re in that country, we’ll get to hear about how Obama is losing or not trying hard enough or failing to support the troops.
Bring everyone home and the only things wingers have to complain about are old news. The mainstream news media won’t get anywhere near a country without a nice cushy green zone. Afghanistan will blip off the radar the same way Iraq has. And we can go back to screaming about White House party crashers and Tiger Woods sex drama.
Staying in Afghanistan just keeps the wound open and lets GOoPers continue throwing salt in it.
I do not think “pompous” means what you think it means. He speaks for a substantial chunk of Obama’s base today; his only mistake might have been expecting that Obama was going to do otherwise in this situation.

@dr. bloor:
I said “pompous” and I meant “pompous.” I’ll throw in “self-righteous” too.
On a slightly more serious note – do you think there are days when Obama wakes up and asks himself, “Why did I ever think running for President was a good idea?” What an absolute perfect storm of wretchedness to have dumped on your plate – tanking economy, ugly and stupid conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, spineless Democrats, Wing-nutty Republicans, and a press-corps that really is only interested in getting invites to the good cocktail parties. My god, I think most of us would simply roll over and go back to bed. Or start drinking heavily. Something. Makes the incredibly stupid office politics around the university seem like a day at the beach.
Also, I would add, “correct.” I will cheerfully lay odds and take on anyone who is interested in wagering some of their hard-earned cash money on what happens in the summer of 2011.
Ayers has seen this story before. AFAIC, he can choose to speak about it anyway he likes.

Braawk! Obama is such an awful terrorist Marxist that his Marxist terrorist pal/ghost writer/father Bill Ayers has thrown him under the bus! Braaawk! [whistle]

Are you BOB, or a pretender? I think you might be the latter, and not the first time. Personally I think that anyone who spoofs another handle in a setting like this out to have her face slapped, and have her email address displayed on her posts for six months.
But that’s just me. Like DougJ, I make up handles all the time, but I never use somebody else’s. That’s a no-no.

Well, what about that stuff on the other thread? Isn’t somebody spoofing you over there? You said as much earlier.
Claiming to be spoofed is a crime on the same level as spoofing another poster. It should not be tolerated. Don’t go down that road, Bill. If you are being spoofed, call it out, and suggest to John that he nail the offender. If you are not being spoofed and are playing us, then you must be severely punished. A tax increase would be in order, for example.
So, is that or is that not a spoof of you operating on the Open Thread this morning?

I don’t do intentional handle flipping. What does happen sometimes is that, since I move around a lot between computers, the stored handles are not all the same and I accidentally use one of my old handles, but I usually catch and correct it within a post or two.
And those old handles are all familiar to you, I’m sure. LoveMonkey, DanSmoot’sGhost, etc.
Try to pay attention, man. It’s more fun that way.

@Little Dreamer: Well, I guess I agree.
I’m assuming that you are in fact two separate people.
But for you to speak up and say you know he’s only been on one computer all day leaves you open to a couple assumptions as well, unless you’re in the same physical location.
And I’m not assuming it’s a Thursday afternoon. So, replace “home” with “same place”.
You’re both in the same place, on a Thursday afternoon?
