#1 I'm really becoming a U2 fan these days. First "vertigo" and "All Because of You," now this.

#2 When Lefties stop emoting and start thinking they have to shift right wing.

Why? Right wing works.

Or as Lady Thatcher (PBUH) says "the facts of life are conservative"

#4 Well, chavez is a dictator and a nutjob. Proof that Bono hasn't completely fallen off the face of sanity like his liberal pals.

#5 It's interesting that videogames are one of the few entertainment media where this sort of thing can be done.

The implicit anti-Chavez tint may be less ideological than the result of "narrative imperative" (a video game about UN gabfests would be kind of boring after all), but they did choose to call it "Venezuela."

If more of this sort of thing comes out from video game producers, you can expect to see video games become the Left's new Great Hate.

If there's one thing leftoids can't stand, it's conservatives horning in on what they view as their territory.

Hence the special loathing reserved for Rush, Fox News, etc.

#7 Does Jeffy know that Hugo doesn't like Jews?

#8 bigjim-ky, well, as long as he only hates them as a race or ethnic group, it's ok as long as he likes individual Jews. Especially the self-loathing, morally equivocating kind.

Then, pardon me for putting it this way, it's kosher.

#12 I give Bono credit where it's due. And, I plan to check out this video game (only wish it was real).

#13 I will say for Bono: no matter where his politics are, he is pragmatic, and he callls 'em as he sees 'em - an admirable trait the Kossites and nutroots should learn.
