#1 I can't wait for this loser to speak at the convention. C'mon Al, don't hold back! Throw some red meat to the loony leftists and luddite brownshirts!

#3 Its not 2004, its 1860. We are now talking past each other. The middle ground is quickly disappearing.

#4 Frank, the loony left doesn't eat red meat. (That's a big part of what ails them.) Al could toss them some toasted bean sprouts.

#5 You're right. Liberals are not communists. But that's only because they are too stupid to understand that the policies they endorse ultimately lead to communism.

#6 Brilliant observation, Chris.
Although I think most of their leaders like Billary, sKerry and Gore know full well that their agenda comes right out of Das Kapital.
This was a great Lileks rant, but...Owlie Bore's trash talking didn't bother me.
I am so used to the Left being over the top in their hate that it's normal now.
After all, if Bush is Hitler, then I guess Bush-backers like me are "brownshirts."

#7 Chris, the difference between a liberal and a communist is that the communist understands what he is doing.

#8 the loony left doesn't eat red meat . . .

True; but they do drink from fever swamps.

#12 I'm wearing gray today.

By the way I think the Vatican might qualify as a true communist state. Hmmm, hard to think now, too many beers.

#13 I have a tan shirt, does that count? Dan North Korea comes damn close to a Communist state and Cuba would be a close second. Both are lead by dictators but the dictator was empowered by the communist party of each state.

#14 This "digital brownshirt" is decked out in Kelly green today. Should I change, or does Al need glasses?

#15 I guess I'm in trouble. I have on a brown shirt. But I really am pissed at being compared to Hitler's Brownshirts and I DEMAND AN APOLOGY!

#16 I'm wearing an obscenely loud red and turquoise Hawaiian shirt because I don't look good in brown. And I think that Al needs to talk to Dr. Haldol. And Mr. Straightjacket.

#17 I've got a black shirt on today AND I work in the software biz. Al better change his diaper (and tighten up his tin foil turban)

#18 Most days, White Shirt with a tie, grey jacket or navy blue blazer. GS-n Uniform in the 3 letter agencies.

Fridays, khaki's and a nice blue "logo" polo shirt.

#21 Actually, considering the sexual proclivities of Rohm and the SA leadership, they would most comfortably fit in the San Fransisco Democratic constituancy.

#22 BTW, I came within a hair's breadth of wearing my bright blue golf shirt with "There's No Palestine" embroidered on it in Arabic. But I thought better of it at the last minute, since I was going to work.

Tomorrow, going to the store, however....

Bet Gorebot would really go nuts over that one. :-p
