They have made error after error, etc.<BR/><BR/>Hardly evil incarnate.<BR/><BR/>And Mike did not call him a Nazi. There have been reams of scholarly books, such as the one Arendt wrote, that have discussed how the German population could have followed orders so blindy. And there have been tests here in the states, one very famous, in which it was shown that complete strangers could be convinced to induce pain on others.<BR/><BR/>McIlheran shows every sign of being a perfect subject for study, as he laps up everything fed to him and repeats it <I>ad nauseum</I> as directed.<BR/><BR/>Wow, kind of like you. So clever.Other Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475658453374184885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947972.post-76237696556676275222007-11-09T21:35:00.000-06:002007-11-09T21:35:00.000-06:00I'm cringing in the corner...Quoting you: "the in...I'm cringing in the corner...<BR/><BR/>Quoting you: "the indefensible Bush administration"<BR/><BR/>Ummmnnnnhhh...if it's "indefensible," then it must be evil incarnate. That's logic 101.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, Mikie DID compare McIlheran to Eichmann as propagandists.<BR/><BR/>Right to the "nazi" namecalling. <BR/><BR/>So clever.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947972.post-11436175751860448072007-11-09T12:17:00.000-06:002007-11-09T12:17:00.000-06:00Gee, daddio, I forgot your were the fount of wisdo...Gee, daddio, I forgot your were the fount of wisdom for SE Wisconsin. You're the one who hangs with Peter and Fred. I wouldn't be so quick to judge.<BR/><BR/>And lastly, who here has ever said Bush was evil incarnate. I have disagreed strongly with his policies. I do feel that some of the actions his administration has taken are deterimental to our personal freedoms. But I've never called him the names your side has hurled at Hillary Clinton, her husband ... even Barack Obama.<BR/><BR/>And you know what, anytime one of your side attacks a liberal, or liberalism, my political leaders, or my brother (who is gay), then I am going to take it personally.<BR/><BR/>You know what to do!Other Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475658453374184885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947972.post-46301941618787959882007-11-09T11:30:00.000-06:002007-11-09T11:30:00.000-06:00It's not just Paddy, of course.

And that the MSJ sometimes quotes Peter in the paper!<BR/><BR/>Peter referenced Stalin, Hitler and the KKK while talking about the Sheboygan Mayor. It's like he has no choice in the matter. He has to spew invective from the start. Hyperbole is where he starts, not where he ends.Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842340986220388709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947972.post-58608817226575453212007-11-09T10:12:00.000-06:002007-11-09T10:12:00.000-06:00My, my.
