"Gary Drescher" wrote in message news:BbdJc.89983$Oq2.82226@attbi_s52... Well, Mr. Pot, still wanting to call the kettle black. What you describe as my world is indeed every bit as outlandish as your world. The problem with your comparison, though, is that what I refer to as "your world" consists of things you actually say (e.g. that Rep. McDermott committed treason), whereas the views you attribute to me resemble nothing I've ever said. But that's the salient characteristic of your world: no grounding in reality is required for attributing bizarre beliefs and attitudes to your opponents. Gosh, I made him so mad he is beginning to stutter. :-) I am still waiting for the actual quotes and verifiable documentation you said you were going to post. A single statement where McDermott even mildly criticizes Hussein would be a start. Meanwhile, since you asked for quotes and documentation, I suppose I should tell you that the material in my post is largely taken from other material which does consist mostly of quotes and documentation. http://www.davekopel.com/Terror/Fift...enheit-911.htm If this report has errors I would enjoy reading about them. I suspect, though, that you will simply toss it off as biased right-wing extremism and refuse to address any of its points. As for the latest from Baghdad Jim, see http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/jamies..._robert22.html As for my living in a fantasy world, you are the one defending the idea that the whole Iraq war was based on a conspiracy between Bush, al Qaeda, and the Saudi government to control a non-existent pipeline in Afghanistan. Don't deny it; you said that my assertions that there was no such conspiracy were a fantasy, which means you believe that there was such a conspiracy. As for Baghdad Jim's treason, I might point you to http://www.townhall.com/columnists/g...20021001.shtml I think the comparison with Lord Haw Haw is very apt. McDermott took bribes from the Hussein regime: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/903913/posts Here is a tape of Baghdad Jim's outrageous remarks: http://www.usefulwork.com/shark/archives/001348.html |

I am still waiting for the actual quotes and verifiable documentation you
said you were going to post. Then it has escaped your attention that I tracked down and documented the McDermott statement that the right wing has absurdly mischaracterized as endorsing "Saddam's trustworthiness". A single statement where McDermott even mildly criticizes Hussein would be a start. Oh for goodness' sake, CJ. In a speech just a few weeks ago, McDermott referred to Hussein as a "thug" (http://www.house.gov/mcdermott/sp040618a.shtml ). As for Baghdad Jim's treason, I might point you to http://www.townhall.com/columnists/g...20021001.shtml You seem not to have noticed that that article's ascription to McDermott of the claim that "Americans should take Saddam Hussein at his word" is precisely the dishonest paraphrase of the dishonestly truncated quote that I already addressed in my last post! I also documented the ACTUAL McDermott statement, which of course says no such thing. As for my living in a fantasy world, you are the one defending the idea that the whole Iraq war was based on a conspiracy between Bush, al Qaeda, and the Saudi government to control a non-existent pipeline in Afghanistan. Don't deny it; you said that my assertions that there was no such conspiracy were a fantasy, Uh, no I didn't. If I had, you could easily supply a quote. which means you believe that there was such a conspiracy. Fascinating. Because I implied that your expressed world is a fantasy (and cited a salient example), you conclude that you can legitimately attribute to me the opposite of every opinion you expressed about anything! Ironically, your florid sophistry here is a sterling example of how you go about constructing fantasy versions of your opponents' views. --Gary |

Since you ask, I will say now that Moore's movie has many worthwhile aspects and should be seen. However, no, I did not previously endorse Moore's film here. If you think otherwise, please cite a quote. The closest you'll find is that I mentioned that a Fox News reviewer spoke favorably of Fahrenheit 9/11. But I had not yet seen the film myself, so I expressed no opinion agreeing or disagreeing with the reviewer. The truth bites, doesn't it? Sorry, if you think Fahrenheit 9/11 has anything important to say, then what I said about your fantasies is spot on. Because I mentioned a favorable Fox News review of Moore's film, you feel entitled to attribute to me the entirety of what you believe are the film's views (which, of course, you have also bizarrely mischaracterized). Seeing the steps by which you construct your world-view makes it much less mysterious that the final product turns out as it does. --Gary |

Please also provide the Message-ID of the article in THIS message thread in which you inferred my statements to be "ad hominem attacks against George Bush." Please also respond to my clarification of your misstatement about Mr. Moore's movie containing a falsehood regarding the existence of a pipeline through Afghanistan in Message-ID: . I see. Calling him a drug smuggler more interested in his golf swing than in doing his job is not an ad hominem attack? I can see why you failed to provide the Message-IDs, because I did not call him a drug smuggler. I said Bush looked 'smug', as in 'highly self satisfied.' Tell me, do you have any evidence that this is so? I have no evidence concerning baby Bush's drug use, but his father's drug smuggling using military aircraft is a matter of public record: Iran-Contra Affair. And this site http://www.lazygranch.com/nosepic.htm shows baby Bush sticking something up his nose! Very Presidential. :-( |

to irrational fears of the public that is fostered by the media morons, would be any better with someone else in the Whitehouse? WE know it won't be different with Kerry, but I do like the solution proposed. It's honest and refreshing and does seem like it stands a chance of working. Then again, the public apathy is such that they probably could care less and there aren't enough pilots left after that to affect a change, so I guess we'll never win until we have one world government... Here's what I did do however, when the various law enforcement agencies call up for donations I explain to them that my money I would have sent to them is now being sent to AOPA to aid in the fight for our survival now that we have these silly TFR's and other stupid rules. |

What a great suggestion! Unfortunately, I doubt that the fund raisers that the law enforcement agencies employ have any idea what AOPA or TFRs are, so I don't think the message gets passed on. Neil |

The Kerry campaign will have a field day criticizing 'the reckless behavior of the Bush administration.' There will be Congressional investigations, independent prosecutors, maybe even impeachment proceedings. The fact that all the people killed are Democrats will make it look like some kind of evil Republican conspiracy. It might even mean the end of the Republican Party as we know it.
