| Daily Kos: Iran Has A Right To Attack Israel (and the US) |
| 2007-01-09 |
| (via LGF) This is a thought experiment... |

| #19 Iran Has A Right To Attack Israel (and the US) Of course they do, they're a sovereign nation. We, in turn, have the right to kick the ever lovin' cr@p out of them if we think they are even contemplating doing so. |

| #18 "I still check out LGF for the interesting stories, but I've given up on reading the comments..." Too right. The most wasted couple of hours I ever spent, was on a comments thread at LGF where I tried to explain that the reason why Auschwitz wasn't bombed during WWII had more to do with technical, geographical, and mission-planning limitations than outright anti-Jewish prejudice. I would still like those hours back, thankyouverymuch. Great stories there... but as far as comments threads, the static-to-information ratio is just too high. |

| #16 Ptah I agree. LGF irrelevance became obvious when the President threw out feelers on new strategies for Iraq. In stark contrast to Rantburg posts - some of which caused me to change my views - LGF was not even in the game. |

| #15 Damn, I love it when lefties start doling out "rights"... |

| #14 I have a lot of respect for LGF, but I prefer hanging out here as a commenter just because LGF is so damned big. The 'Burg feels more human scaled. Agreed. I still check out LGF for the interesting stories, but I've given up on reading the comments - too many comments and interpersonal sub-threads to keep up with. |

| #12 Re LGF and Kos: Kos takes potshots at Charles, and Charles replies in kind. Charles is not a christian, much less a Christian-who-should-roll-over-at-the-slightest-opposition-in-order-to-be-a-good-witness type of person. Those are easy pickings for a moonbat like Kos. Receiving mortars when you fire potshots is something that Kos, or his psychological brothers, the Lions of Islam, dislike and believe to be haram. Charles has a following, like Fred, that trades banter in the same way that we do here. However, Fred's format is more like a highly specialized Bulletin Board. However, I will grant that they don't seem to have a .com or a Zenster. Of course, they don't have Muck4doo ("yeah he's a lib, but he's OUR lib!") or Josepth Mendiola ("Yeah, he comes across as a bit crazy, but he's OUR crazy!"). Rantburg's got LGF beat in format, brains, and color... |

| #11 I guess by their thinking, conservatives have a right to mass and attack the wussy liberals in the streets and suburbs. Burn their ethically corrupt institutions and drive them into the sea (or Belgium, whichever is worse). |

| #10 That's right. The 1 post out of 22 this weekend that's about Kos shows Charles' "obsession". People have been whinging about the lgf comments section for five-plus years. That anyone peddling this tired trope could call Charles' tireless and vacation-less work keeping his gaze on our enemy "boring" is a laugh. Sayonara, envious troll. |

| #9 twobyfour You didn't say what you think of "page view" lgf. What's there? |

| #8 And vice versa. If Iran has a right to preemptively attack Israel, then Israel has the right to preemptively attack Iran. (And the US). I have figured out the bulk of the Left's argumentation patterns: they think and act like class-action suit lawyers. Neither truth, facts, or logic apply: Just make your case, use whatever rhetorical tactics you are permitted to get away with, and hope the opposition doesn't point out the holes in their arguments. And whatever you do, don't acknowledge the holes: the Jury will notice! Once you figure out the core tactics, countering them is easy, which is why the Lefties are now so intent on regulating blogs, and soon political advertising: they're trying to suppress the other side. If they can just shut up the other side, they reason, we will win our case. Remember, the value of an insight is how many questions it answers. |

| #7 Sneaze Shaiting3550 inscribed with electrons: In fact, LGF is becoming boring. Check. Now that Johnson has some celebrity status, he is milking "views" in order to cash in on advertising revenue. He is probably making a good buck. Capitalism, baby. Check. In consequence, his Comment pages - which once contained excellent posts - now looks like the worst of Yahoo. Sometimes.. itsa crap. "The worst of yahoo" must be a rhetorical device. Check. In fact, Kos and lgf could be one-two on that list. Almost sounds like moral equivalenting here. You seem to lose few marbles of the full set in this instance. Good bye! ************ Starving escargot Elituals must rule well-fed Pizza-Nacho Guys. Joe, you rule! (Do I have a permission to borrow this line in perpetuity?) |

| #6 I don't share Charles Johnson - littlegreenfootballs - obsession with Kos. In fact, LGF is becoming boring. Now that Johnson has some celebrity status, he is milking "views" in order to cash in on advertising revenue. In consequence, his Comment pages - which once contained excellent posts - now looks like the worst of Yahoo. In fact, Kos and lgf could be one-two on that list. Both are "view" milkers of the worst kind. Let them eat cake, together. |

| #5 This is a thought experiment It's been said that no experiment is a failure. I say this article disproves this idea once and for all. |

| #4 Of course they do. And, after that we have a right to eliminate all traces of them from the face of the earth. And we will. |
