		<description>When have you ever caught me in a lie PC? Name one time. 
 
Its just the same as you being unable to report one instance where this blog endorses bigotry, racism, or pure hatred.  
 
So once again, I ask you, can you ever make a claim without creating a lie?  
 
Just spare us the bullshit and say you can&#039;t. </description>

		<description>I saw this issue at the checkout stand today. I felt so angry. I am a firm believer in freedom of speech, but I am so sick and tired of the media framing the Muslim population as the &quot;enemy&quot;. If I had the money, I would go to every major distributor of the National Examiner and buy ALL of the copies. I know it seems extreme, but unfortunately I live in an area of the country that this publication simply perpetuates stereotypes. Ugh! I wondered if this issue was disseminated across the country or just in particular pockets? </description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Muslims are the enemy&quot; has been an easy sell since at least the 1980s, Sean. It became a given, on September 11th, 2001. &lt;/i&gt; 
 
&quot;Muslims are the enemy&quot; is an easy sell to gullible and ignorant bigots like you who believe whatever they&#039;re told and who can&#039;t distinguish the actions of individuals from those of 1.5 billion Muslims. 
 
Even if I bought into the criminal Bush administration&#039;s rather fanciful and far-fetched account of 9-11, which I don&#039;t, the actions of 18 Muslim terrorists hardly makes every Muslim everywhere &quot;the enemy.&quot;  
 
Do you think all Muslims should regard every Christian everywhere as &quot;the enemy&quot; based on Bush&#039;s war crimes? How about Southerners, are they the enemy too? I seem to recall us fighting a war against them and some of them are still running around sporting Confederate flags and refusing to celebrate the 4th of July. 
 
Your defense of bigotry is shallow and dishonest as always, Craig. </description>

		<description>They&#039;re facts all right. Even you&#039;re not stupid enough to believe the bullshit about WMDs Bush was peddling. Or are you one of these loons who still insists they were there despite the evidence? </description>

		<description>the hamas charter is arab media? Since when?

I&#039;m getting tired of you making pointless diversions and never addressing the points made. You seem to not like it whenever someone challenges your point of view.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Muslims are the enemy&quot; has been an easy sell since at least the 1980s, Sean. It became a given, on September 11th, 2001. A lot of people worked very hard at moderating US public opinion towards Islam after that attack, including GW Bush.&lt;/i&gt; 
 
Yeah,  he worked real hard at bullshitting the American people into a war against Iraq that has left over 1.5 million dead, 4 million refugees, a destroyed infrastructure and a raging civil war. But he made some pious, bullshit speech or two about how we need to be tolerant of the Muslims we were killing so hey, it&#039;s all good. 
 
&lt;i&gt;You are claiming to be &quot;sophisticated&quot;, Sean? I&#039;d really like to see your GPA from school, because you seem like a pretty mediocre individual of about average intelligence, who got brainwashed into believing that being a loudmouth leftist makes him special, and better than all the other mediocre and average Americans.&lt;/i&gt; 
 
My GPA from college was 3.78, and I got that working full time while going to school full time. Though if you had an education in reality you would know that educated people are often the most brainwashed by propaganda, simply because they are exposed to the mass media more than less educated people typically are. In either case opinions of my intelligence and my character by some immature, nasty little gobshite on a blog matters not a wit to me. 
 
&lt;i&gt;Hitler... 
 
References to Hitler. Game over. Insert coin. &lt;/i&gt; 
 
Pompous, pseudo-intellectual snobbery on mention of Hitler, who apparently cannot be spoken of by anyone but Godwin and the ADL without some smarmy little &#039;net cunt wanking himself to death over it. </description>

		<description>I object to you using a dictionary to define a concept as complex as &quot;enemy,&quot; PC. You need to use an encyclopedia, for some reason which I am unable to describe other than the fact that I clearly have no means by which to rebut your arguments, nor do I have any desire to, so I&#039;ll focus on something arbitrary like your source for definition of a word. So if you want to try again, I&#039;ll be back later to check on your progress. If not, you get a &quot;D&quot; on this assignment. It would be an &quot;F&quot; except that I think this exercise is so ridiculous and your entire methodology so hollow and pathetic that I have no interest in carrying this analogical parallel any further, and by this point I&#039;m just rambling.

		<description>I didn&#039;t talk about Obama, so no clue WTF you are on about there... 
 
&lt;i&gt;Try sticking to the topic and not asking to see someone&#039;s GPA.&lt;/i&gt; 
 
I thought the topic I was replying to was Sean&#039;s condescending and demeaning comment about his fellow Americans? So, he gets to call people ignorant and stupid, and I don&#039;t get to question whether he&#039;s qualified to make such an assessment? lol. 
 
&lt;i&gt;You definitely make this place better with your views and opinions. I appreciate them and you know what? Keep &#039;em coming . . . because, the more you post, the more I laugh!&lt;/i&gt; 
 
Yeah, I can tell you don&#039;t get out much. Your comment was so dull that I almost didn&#039;t bother with replying, even with all the insults you threw my way. Maybe I should challenge your credentials to be making assessments about people skills?  </description>
