Reply #25: Joe's making this difficult for me

[Aidoneus]

As yet I've resisted the urge to even give a damn about him, much less buy into the stigma that seems to haunt him (I just find him not worth the thought, hardly some roving menace).. but he's making it hard with things that appear like this. A Zionist demanding victory in a global war against Muslims--how else could he be taken? Is he trying to appeal to Bush's most racist and fascist base of support? Slip of the tongue? Idle chatter? Stupid but typical political bombast?

That new sort of thing aside, his schilling for the very same tendencies, and encouraging support for them, that Team Bush represents are why I have found him or some of his peers not worth a damn. That "(D)" next to the name doesn't always signify a decent sort of opposition, as he here calls for "bipartisan" (codeword for Republican dictatorship) support of Bush's policies, but that somebody could do the same thing better--not that he's wrong, just not right enough. He's not alone in that sort of thing, or even usually noteworthy, but the question is just reduced to an argument without a resisting oppositional view--the argument is simply who can do the same thing "better" (or encouraging less resistance--a "liberal Democratic Party" President would not meet as much domestic resistance to these criminal policies as a open/honest rightwing puppet like Bush), and at best a pointless oneuppish game where nobody even veers into heading towards a decent construct.
