What gets old is reading over and over again some simplistic junk supporting a wingnut by saying that hating the war is not anti-american. No one is calling Ezra out on his lack of support for the war. They're calling him out on his consistent and blatant distortions that aim to paint the US in the worst possible light. He has never said anything positive about the US, but often makes unjustifiable or even false negative statements about the US. That pretty much defines someone as being anti-american.

You show vids of dogs and cats getting blown up by IEDs which were planted by Iraqis. Not better

The soccer killing field was actually a trademark of the Taliban, it wasn't evern Saddam's playbook. That was in Afghanistan.

Philly Weekly keeps a weekly tally of the Iraqi death toll via an independent source, and it's nowhere 1,000,000.

When you inflate the numbers, it means you don't think the number of people who actually have died is bad enough.

Good job.

I've seen bullsh*t UFO videos that looked more real than that. That dog wasn't even moving when it was in the dude's hand, even when he jacked it back to throw it.

So basically you won't believe anything our government or media says regarding this war, but you'll buy the authenticity of that video, no questions asked. Nice job, ya dope.

You really have to bring more to the table than that. That was weak.

For the record, I'm against the war and have been from the beginning.

Nicely put. Too bad, I can't muster the calm to write it that way when I read shear sh(t written by the likes of tanny on these pages. Makes me want to go take a shower and not visit the PB forums most often visited by numbnuts like those.

9/14, quote on elections, because shosh had to put up that thoughtful writeup on mediocrity and elitism:
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." — H. L. Mencken

Oh, lots of people believe it. Look at some of those youtube videos and open all of the comments. I've never seen the phrase "dirty kuffar" so much in my life. I guess that would be Ezra's company.

Please don't then. You don't even live in Philly. As explained to Aubin (in regard to Ezra), there's a difference between opposing the war and vile anti-Americanism. Your post in the other active thread in the world forum is absolutely disgusting and also crosses that line. What's most remarkable is that your family left your country of origin because it sucked and specifically chose the US. Yet, you use language like "pillage" with regard to the US in Iraq, which is absolutely indefensible. Intellectual arguments against the war should be able to stand on their own. What is the motivation behind portraying the US as much worse than it is? That's a sickness.

Jizay... there is NO shortage of fluff news. You are bombarded 24/7. You don't need me to tell you happy stories and send you photos of cute puppies.



I consider myself pro-American because I don't want the bad news to be swept under the rug. I want it in the bright spot light. I want to squeak until the wheel gets fixed. Not that I think I can have an impact but I do hope that keeping the issues alive in some small way (very very small... all I do is post things that bother me on PB... and it's mainly cathartic) will lead to positive change. There can be NO change if noone is aware of the problems. You are VERY aware of Paris Hilton and Roger Clemens and Lindsey Lohan.

Everyone here see American Gangster and Serpico? When the moral guy goes up against corruption in the system, everyone in the system tells him to shut the F up. Until the system gets cleansed and then he's the good guy. As a Patriot, I'll keep bitching about America's flaws until there is nothing to bitch about. You can counter me by telling me some happy stories.

I will continue to harp on the negative. I see the positive but I don't feel I need to be the one to point it out. That task is well covered. Most people want to think about kitten sneezes and rainbows rather than Katrina or Iraq.

I don't intentionally make false statements. Yes, my sources can be biased, so please do tell me when I am mistaken. I don't take offense to being corrected. I am prone to hyperbole but I still stand by the 1,000,000 or so figure. That number to me feels "truthie". But I don't want my choice of number to become the topic. I'll gladly cut it back to some agreed upon figure (IBC for example or the Lancet study if it helps further the discussion on how to make it stop.

I'd rather discuss Tann's POV that it's a good thing, a pro-American thing, that the murders in Iraq now are because of the US Military and not Saddam.
