Watch what you wish for. This is bullshit. Grow up. Its the fucking news. Its reality and it has a perfectly acceptable place in the debate. When homocide bombers come to Mall of America or Fisherman's wharf the tragedy won't be censored for your sensbilities. Certainly at the least, Slave can attest that the jumpers on 911 were actual people not links to people. I am not endorsing Not Me or Gin Rummy's text or opinions, no offence, but they should be able to post the pics as long as they are relevant to the point of the speech and/or the debate (and as long as they wouldn't get people in trouble with work IT people or worse, but these pics were in the NYT, and doubt any firms ban the NYT, although based on Maureen Dowd alone, maybe they should).

Infirm now has a more open tolerant Politics Board. Full circle, indeed.

Fuck that, which oddly you can't say there.

although they do have a more liberal socking policy.

What do you expect. I'm just a stupid, rightwinger, who can't think for himself but instead relies on FoxNews, Hannity, and Rush to tell me what my positions should be.

I didn't say that. I think there are people on the left who are equally blind. I'm just sick of the conversation y'all are having where you aren't getting his point.

Socking is not the point and fwiw, they do not have a more liberal socking policy.

eta: you can say fvck you, which gets the point across more directly and viscerally than a link to the slang dictionary's definition of fuck you.

reta: (the obligatory homage to the Paigow) take that cooter!

[Mayor Daley scolds Kerry over Bush "training wheels" comment.]

I actually thought the comment was hilarious - does that make me more of a Bush hater than Daley?

And as usual, you don't understand mine.

Daley stands up for anything bicycle related. If bicycles had dicks, he would suck.

So what is this? We cannot post pics of Americans suffering? Why? What does this do? Hurt the Dem cause by reminding you who are enemies are? But yet we have to see pictures of something akin to fraternity pranks shoved down our throats to make us feel like we have collectively done something wrong?

What a fucking bunch of hypocrits.

Yes, the wounds are raw. Burying your heads in the sand and forgetting what it is we are up against only endangers us all.

AQ is in Iraq and was in Iraq before we invaded. There are sarin gas containing warheads in Iraq, too.

The leftist brain trust running this show is showing that are goosestep with the notorious reputation of leftists everywhere as being censors of the truth. The liberals' censorship of words and pictures that they don;t like the message has, in the left wing media, muted the debate and effectively disenfranchised the red states of America.

Based on my observation the liberals of this country are so miserably hateful and morbidly ignorant that they mandate that the rest of us dwell in their cesspool of ignorance and hate. That's what's called equality in their world.

So, if it ain't anti-W or blame America First, then its censored.
Modern day Demo-liberalism...... al Qeada....the National Socialists, I challenged anyone to show me the difference.

Maybe Kerry can go to DC and toss his bicycle (or someone else's) over the White House gate as an act of contrition or protest. What a pussy.

*I have a new theory about why the media is left of the government. It's because certain Americans vote irregularly, but buy media regularly. The pool including voters and non-voters skews left of the subset pool of likely voters. (Note that Dems always have an edge when polling all registered voters, while Reps have an edge polling likely voters.) So the consumer-side of the market for media, which apparently involves less commitment than ACTUALLY PULLING A FUCKING LEVER ONCE A YEAR, represents the centerline of the entire American demographic, while the results of the Electoral College are slightly to the right of the market of media consumers as a whole. This is a working theory that I reserve the right to punt at any time. Discuss.

Good theory, but to be fair, it's more than pulling a lever, as the lever-pulling device isn't delivered to your doorstep. Although I suppose you could move and sign up for absentee ballot receipt.

I vote, but I walk to public transportation and pass my polling location, so it's pretty convenient -- I can't say I'd be as dedicated in years where there's no presidential/senatorial/mayorial race to be decided.

Don't get me wrong -- I think everyone should vote; I think it's the turnout numbers (even in presidential elections!) are shameful, but it isn't the same thing as having the newspaper delivered to your door, or clicking the remote.

If nothing else, Iraq has been the fly paper to attract islamic terrorists.

Well, it does appear to be helping AQ recruiting.

You're assuming the conservatives are actually watching that programming. They're not. It's like a loss leader.

You know, I just the other day learned what a loss leader is. How did I get to my ripe old age without knowing this. It does not mean what I thought it did.

(Although how the programming is a loss leader I'm not really following -- I'm just happy to see my new vocabulary phrase in action!)

For the record, I am a Republican and I resent the suggestion that my "censorship" of those images was based on politics as opposed to simply enforcing the rules of this website.

STFU, indeed.
