#1 Good Lord! It's been a while since I've read al-Guardian. Sometimes they publish good stuff and you almost come to believe they're a respectable newspaper instead of Moonbat Central.

Then you see articles like this. I loved this paragraph:

The White House has recently been accused of inveighing (via Nasa) against the movie The Day After Tomorrow (out on May 28) because it narrates the wrong apocalypse. One caused by man-made global warming, that is, rather than God's white-hot rage against sinners. The apocalypse depicted in Tim LaHaye's Left Behind books is, we assume, the US government-approved version.

I confess to feeling a little "white-hot rage" toward this John Sutherland chap. Please God, smite this wicked idiotarian. What kind of world is this where they can publish this crap everyday? Any answer to the question `Why do they hate us?` must include a few words on people like John Sutherland who pump the Europeans full of this blather day after day, week after week, year after year, for decades on end.

#2 I love the fact that this chap Sutherland also brings up "Racehate websites" too because, as the British lefties know, mainstream Republicans hold the same views but they're just a little more canny and polite about it.

So the race hate websites are smearing Kerry for being part Jewish, huh? I wonder if this Sutherland guy, in the process of his research into racehate websites, happened to note their opinions on foreign policy? Do you think he had a few moments of discomfort when (if) he realized that the skinhead types are closer to the Left than to Bush on opinions about the Middle East policy and the War on Terror, as well as a lot of other issues? Do you think it bothered him that the Neo Nazis are nearly indistinguishable from the Guardianista British Left in their opinions of the U.S. Gov't (and Israel for that matter)?

#3 Are people in Britain actually stupid enough to believe this shit?
Do schools there not teach even the elementary principles of logic and rhetoric?
This is as crude a collection of stereotypes, demonizing innuendoes, outright lies and bigoted strawmen as I have seen anywhere.
This bastard Sutherland is a vicious authoritarian propagandist, and his readers are sniveling idiots and slaves if they buy one word of this.
What has happened to the UK?

#4 Atomic Conspiracy,
This article, take alone, is nothing to worry about - in fact it's kind of hilarious. I assume that most Brits, like everyone else, maintain some skecpticism about what they read in the paper, if they even pay it much attention. Even the Guardian's Leftoid readership, who share the same preconceived notions and prejudices about average Americans as the author, probably find this a little over the top in terms of hysteria and incoherence.

The problem is that this article is just one drop in the ocean. They write this crap every day. They've been doing it for a long time, although it's grown more shrill since 9/11. Even sensible Europeans cannot help but be effected by the steady drip, drip, drip of Leftist anti-American propaganda.

#5 So you people are not aware of Bush's slavish gathering of the jihadis at the Islamic Center, on Sept. 16, 2001, and delivery of his insane "Islam is peace" basura? In David Frum's competent hagiograpy, "The Right Man," he tells how in 2002 GWB gathered Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Oval Office, and told them that without religious faith, he would still be an out of control alcoholic. Hmmm... an argument for interfaith. So let's see how his Saudi masters treat interfaith, on the principal Wahabi fatwah website:

Saudis hate Bush; Bush loves Saudis. Someone give that nut a bottle of Jack.

#6 Man Sucks Dog - Again you demonstrate you're a fucking idiot. And a prolific fucking idiot, too.

One time: Bush is the First and Only President to actually make the Saudis start coming clean. You paint him with Daddy's brush - Geo41 was a typical Saudi ass-kissing US President. Dubya is not.

Now FOAD, Donk Dick.

#8 I can only say "Megadittos" to what Dotcom sad about ManSucksDog, but you have to tell us:
Which presidential candidate is going to get your vote, Zipperhead, if you hate Bush--I'm sorry, "Shrub"--so much and yet are such an aggressive warrior in the WOT?
The Zapatero-like Ralph Nader?
Or Sen. John Fonda sKerry who wants to beg the UN and the French to forgive us and as CiC, will order America to do whatever they say?

#9 Actually the impression I get from MBD is he feels the admin is not doing enough to go after the soddies et al. I think MBD is pro wot just not a Bush fan. I know people who are both. Though granted I'm voting GWB again this election because the alternative is just too f'n skerry.......
