The looters won.

CHRIS CUOMO, ABC NEWS: A little surprising for you to hear the Democrats saying, “This came out of nowhere, this is all about the Republicans. We had nothing to do with this.” Nancy Pelosi saying it. She signed the ’99 Gramm Bill. She knew what was going on with the SEC. They’re all sophisticated people. Is that playing politics in this situation?

BILL CLINTON: Well, maybe everybody does that a little bit. I think the responsibility the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Greg, the fringe website you link to shows a symbol that is eerily like that used by the Cohanim, Jewish priests. Maybe Hitler was a secret Jew too?

I got rid of Greg and Steve the first time, ck. Give me a chance and I can do it again.

The trick is not to play their game on their own terms, as Tom was starting to do.

This is not about partisanship but about lunatic conspiracy theories — which always start with someone being willing to entertain a huge stretch in the guilt by irrelevant association department.

Ahmedinejad is just the latest.

And about him being Hitler.

Even his hand salute indicates it.

You really aren’t even bothering to follow the election campaign, are you Tom?

Here’s a hint: Try to figure out which candidate’s scared shitless of being exposed for his actually guilty associations with people who in their own fecklessness have or are bringing the country down from within, and then go on a propaganda hunt for who wants to be on the record as looking favorably on that candidate from abroad. And no points if most leaders abroad already look more favorably upon that one candidate anyway. You can’t mandate that your enemies hate you.

Ahmedinejad also likes Corn Flakes. And milk. And pancakes. There go half our breakfast options.

If Ahmedinejad said he read Jewlicious then you would have to boycott this too, I suppose.

You come up with reasoning like this and you’re a lawyer?

Greg, come back with your reductio ad Hitlerum stuff. Tom is trying to one-up you with his endlessly repetitive exercise in Reductio ad Ahmedinejad. Our culture is still trying to establish the kookiness of the former. Tom’s ahead of that by trying to apply the same approach in novel and interesting ways that are no less ridiculous.

But that must be an easy sell to the American public, who now give Obama a 10-point lead. Nice way to be concerned about the country, guys!

In any event, here’s at least one advantage that Ahmedinejad has over McCain’s lightweight pick of a lightweight VP nominee:

“Since Sarah Palin was selected for the vice-presidential nomination, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has given more press conferences than she has. That’s the country John McCain believes in.”

Hahahahahaha. Palin is more afraid of her country’s own free press than the dictator of Iran is. But we’re supposed to believe she’ll be able to stare him down in a conflict. Right.

But keep fighting the good fight guys – by which I must mean your badly lost and highly irrelevant guilt-by-the-flimsiest-of-associations propaganda war.

I sure hope Israel has gotten better PR people by now than anyone as addicted to go-nowhere tactics as the likes of y’all. They need it. Or, they would have needed that had attention not been shifted by the force of gravity to throwing our country down the economic hole in the meantime.

Per the Boston Globe:

“In response to a question from an American student about whether he supports Democratic nominee Barack Obama or Republican John McCain, Ahmadinejad did not explicitly name Obama but said: ‘The American government 28 years ago decided on its own to cut its ties with Iran . . .We do prefer to have relations, whereas one of the candidates in this election would prefer that.’”

Who’s next, Chavez?

That would really be putting country first, wouldn’t it, Steve?

How empty the shell of vapid nationalism that remains when the authoritarians have nothing left to do and no trust left on the part of the American people to regain. It’s quite pitiful.

I’ll gladly be the citizen of as many countries that hold to those principles as I can. Apparently such libertarian options distress Steve, as they would any good authoritarian.

Meanwhile, the only candidate the authoritarians can pretend to support is going into meltdown and suspending his campaign, as the economy collapses under the backdrop of a proposed Wall Street bailout. Way to go, Steve!

But Israel is one of the few countries that don’t have a person revoke their own citizenship when becoming a citizen of their own country.

I am strongly in favor of ending all dual citizenship. For it isn’t only about the Jews. But it does seem to come up about Israelis more often than it does with others but certainly it is a much larger problem in play here as we saw with that treasonous female basketball player in this year’s Olympics.

Dishonest??? Seriously, are you learning impaired? Because if you are I ought to apologize.

And you wonder why there is so much mistrust of Jews out there. Be Israeli or be American, whatever, but by all means CHOOSE!

In their hearts the choice has already been made so they are being dishonest by keeping one of their citizenships.
