Get these motherfucking neocons off this motherfucking boat!

  • OK, we have them all on a boat. Now where exactly is it that we "ship them back to"?
  • great article MCT. Although I can't help but think it's not 100% objective, but the person obviously did try....oh and Argh... I say send 'em to Iraq....
  • I know a guy who is a business dude, one time he was in the same room as Paul Wolfowitz at some conference, so he says. "And you didn't try to kill him?" I immediately asked. I think I would have the same urges with these meat sacks.
  • I'm prepared to accept "wish he was dead." "Kill him," not so much. I understand the urge, but the great thing about us is we can manage our urges. We're more than our urges. You know all this already; I'm just sayin'.
  • Oh, and for the record this article makes me understand the urge more, um, urgently than usual.
  • Ah, you're just a shill for the urge industry.
  • Well you know I have my tongue in my cheek, but sometimes I wonder if there isn't a greater good.
  • Must...control...fist...of...death...
  • You know, sounds like it's exactly as I imagined it would be.
  • I imagine that if there was a fly on the wall at a similar function for MoveOn or some other organization that some fairly non-mainstream views would be expressed by someone over the course of a few days. I don't mean to suggest that some of the statements made by some of the people who are in power are not alarming, but I think that it's not surprising to think that people will speak differently when they think there is no one around to offend. Surely, many male monkeys have heard male friends in an all-male environment say things that would be way too sexist to say in the company of women. I don't really see any of this as being much different.
  • They said the same thing about the nazis /godwin
  • that is what i was thinking wingnut. extemism isn't limited to any party or belief.
  • If only we good get the extremists to take each other out without destroying us and possibly the planet in the process. *ponders* How easy would it be to build a Thunderdome?
  • Dear God: Tsunami Amen
  • More like 'Titanic', eh Gramma?
  • More neo-con extremists per capita than Muslim extremists. Muslim extremists blow themselves up. Neo-cons rake in the money and keep breeding. Take a cruise, meet some breeders. Ooh yeah, come to America and set yourself free!
  • Actually, Flags, a Republican selective tsunami hitting the East coast would work for me.
  • Turn this big motherfucker left, Troy! They did the one thing they didn't train us for in the FBI: they put neocons on the boat!
  • "Surely, many male monkeys have heard male friends in an all-male environment say things that would be way too sexist to say in the company of women. I don't really see any of this as being much different." Well, I realise you are trying to be extremely sensible and non Coulterish in your statements, wingnut, possibly to head-off the views of those who see extreme right-wingers as being equivalent to cousin-marrying, cross-burning frothing-at-the-mouth racist maniacs unable to converse in anything but vitriolic hate speech, but let's be absolutely clear: There is quite a vast gulf of difference between someone saying "I'd like to tap the ass of that chick in accounts payable" and some right winger saying "let's exterminate all the ragheads". OK? You're trying to put a spin on it to make it seem like it is reasonable for these people to hold these views, but, in actual fact, sane & reasonable people just don't say these things. I may have heard some of my 'liberal' friends say some rather risque things in private, but not of the order of insanity & ignorance that spew from the mouths of the people quoted in this FPP. Or on LGF or Free Republic. Hope that clears up any confusion.
  • you know I have my tongue in my cheek Yeah, I know. It's just that some monkeys have advocated killing pols they don't like with more seriousness, and that ain't cool in my book. It's uncivilized, plus I don't trust anyone to be judge, jury, and executioner.
  • Also, well-put on the distinction between testosterone-fueled boasting and hate-fueled moronity, Hank.
  • This article has me seriously wondering if I have any Compazine left in the medicine cabinet. The major difference I see between a gathering like this and a similar one on the left is, that these people are the ones with all the power, and their philosophy is to get more power. And they STILL like to pretend that they're a bunch of poor, put-upon victims.
  • Damn. Where's an iceberg when you really need one? (Oh, that's right, they're melting...) Okay, how about some dandy ship-borne bacteria? A nice dose of violent diarrhea would balance out some of the crap coming out of these folks' mouths. These people should be gathered up into a great big net and airlifted into an active volcano. Hey, I can dream, can't I?
  • Send them Chuck Norris.
  • Send them WERZOG. The Wrath of God.
  • I'm not sure whether these people are an eccentric minority or voicing ideas which actually lurk tacitly at the back of many brains (possibly both, I suppose), but either way, for different reasons, I should wish them enlightened rather than dead.
  • Crap, now HW and Darling have pushed my guilt button. They're human beings, not damnrepublicans, just as they're human beings, not ragheads. Pouring a gallon of vitriol on the flames of stupidity and discrimination never put out the fire. OK, how about this: Dear God Please let a tsunami of enlightenment swamp the ship of fools. K Thnx Bi I don't advocate killing them, but I do hope they explode from their self-importance.
  • *pats BlueHorse supportively on the back*
  • Monkeyfilter: a tsunami of enlightenment
  • May they suddenly find themselves as disenfranchised as those they seek to keep disenfranchised.
  • Didn't I read something the other day about submarines becoming fashionable ... I wonder if that includes ones with fully-functioning torpedos? Just a random question
  • And eeked every time it was posted there. Part of me regrets posting it here -- my fascination with it was a sort of "Wow, look how ugly and insular things can get" reaction, but it occurred to me about an hour later what a crap post it is. Ah, well. *sigh*
  • Here's an interesting little tidbit from the article: "Aren't you embarrassed by the absence of these weapons?" Buckley snaps at Podhoretz. He has just explained that he supported the war reluctantly, because Dick Cheney convinced him Saddam Hussein had WMD primed to be fired." William Buckley still da man!
  • Totally not a crap post. Fascinating article. Give yourself a break, mct.
  • Yeah, it was fine, mct. when I first saw the article I didn't think much of it and only read the first couple of paragraphs. When I finally got around to reading the whole thing, I thought it was hilarious, which is why I posted it over there. MonkeyFilter has always been more easy going. That's one of the things I like about it.
  • *Adds to list of Things homunculus likes about MonkeyFilter*
  • Well, now I've just run and showered and snorked and am currently eating a "salad" that is not so much a salad as it is one big excuse to eat boiled eggs and bacon and mayonnaise and sour cream, and I'm getting paid for every minute of it, so I'm happy to declare this Best Post Ever. What do I win?
  • Two tickets to Pittsburgh!
  • Poughkeepsie! Pismo Beach!
  • Boiled eggs and bacon Fill the doggie bag taken From the diner at 5th and Vermouth. Nobody's wakin' They ain't mistaken, It's the dead of the night in Duluth.
  • I don't consider it a CraPost™ atall.
  • I was in Pismo Beach this weekend. The waves sucked, but it was fun anyway.
  • As much as we might enjoy mocking the war happy folks who would never dare fight, it certainly would be a bit on the scary side for me if those who actually do the fighting decided when the US goes to war.
  • The part about "the WMDs are in Syria!" and "The planes are in Iran!" had such a great conspiracy theory ring to them. I loved it. However, it does remind me that whenever people have extreme views there will always be someone with more extreme and crazier views. While listening to Media Matters which, despite the title, is typically about how the war in Iraq was wrong or how Bush sucks (both things that I agree with but find discussions of them like preaching to choir) they were taking phone calls and got a caller who was convinced that not only was Bush horrible but that the Franciscans were secretly in control. Then not two calls later they got a call from someone who was convinced that an alleged string of missing children in England was because the CIA was taking them. Ahhh conspiracy theories. You got to love them.
  • MonkeyFilter has always been more easy going. That's one of the things I like about it. *picks up iron pipe, moves in on homie This isn't about the post. The post is fine. This is about you thinkin' we's easy goin' We ain't easy. We's ROUGH!!
  • *prepares to be punished*
  • So, that would be BlueHorse and homonculous in the Thunderdome, then?
  • I could sooooo kick Homoie's little plastic figurine butt!
  • *drops pants, waits anxiously*
  • *gets tired of waiting, cries*
  • You're going to catch a pneumonia, homun. *gently covers his posterior with a velvet cape, leaves*
  • *sneaks in while The Hom's not looking, aims, and fires with both hind feet* *runs away, giggling*
  • Shouldn't that be "The 'munc"?
