So... does the repeated reference to a notion that our planet has a friggin' *skeleton* mean that this has become a common moonbat theory about Mother Gaia's anatomy?

Geez louise! Christmas outdoor lights went on sale in early December and we loaded up on them!!!! Never had outdoor lights before. Never had a tsunami before. Must be a link. IT IS US TERRIBLE CONSUMER REPUBLICANS! Oh no. If only we had just sipped lattes and stuck to sushi bars, this never would have happened. Blame the baby Jesus!
So do I whip out my "I'm sorry" sign now???

cruel, Paul, just plain cruel. tease me into wanting to know why, WHY Bush being in Texas would have the moonbats flapping for impeachment [other than the simple fact that any reason will do] and leaving me with Hobson's choice. Paul! I cannot bear it! I cannot go into the dark, hellish pit that is DU! for the love of all that is holy, bring back an excerpt when you return from Satan's lair! or at least leave the holy water and silver crucifix on the table where anyone can use it...

Rightie troll posts rarely come with reason or factual support. Usually rightie troll posts are nothing but gratuitous insult.

If you spend time cruising both sides of the blogosphere, IMO there is a marked difference in overall tone between right and left. But generally, leftie bloggers post about current events and explain (with reason and factual support) what the blogger likes or does not like about said events. And generally, rightie bloggers just spew out hate.

The bald truth is that to be a Bush supporter means that you are (a) ignorant of what's going on; (b) suffering massive cognitive dissonance; or (c) are a soulless sociopathic bastard.

At least the Yahoo message boards/comments sections offer a mixture of some humor among the craziness, but compared to Yahoo message boards, DU is something from far below that standard (and, referring to Yahoo message boards as a "standard" is very difficult for me, no doubt about that).

I used to wonder if but what there were some people who used DU as a sort of writers' forum, a place to create characters and launch characters' dialogue, but, then I realized that that was just wishful thinking and that I had to accept the fact that there are many human beings walking around upright with grave problems: upright but not at all alright.

I'd say that the people who fancy themselves as dragons and those who think that they are cats are next up the evolutionary range from DU, just beneath the Yahoo message board standard, such as that is.

Argh, Gaia. Argh, "fist of nature!". Argh, it's insanity.

The "bones" of our planet?????

LOL

Does that mean it was a bonequake?

And, right on cue...

(^^ Not in reference to shark.)

Apparently, *some people* actually consider themselves as having the power to perceive "soulless" bodies. And right there before them! What WILL they think of next?!?!

The first question to ask when thousands upon thousands of people die is "Who benefits?"

Since the largest death toll is expected to be the rebellious Island of Aceh, the answer is quite simple: the Muslim Indonesian rulers.

Let's hear the DU form their own conspiracy theories about how Jakarta built their "nuclear earthquake bomb" to pacify Aceh. After all, Indonesia wanted a permanent UNSC seat, being so large and worthy and all. And we all know what permanent seats there mean: you got nukes.

Pardon me while I return to reality and leave the DU behind in Conspiracyland.

As for Jakarta stonewalling relief efforts to kill of the rest of the Aceh residents, well, just wait for the reports to start tricking in.

I guess I'm a soulless sociopathic bastard.

I can live with that.

The two hardest hit areas (Aceh, Sumatra and eastern Sri Lanka) were terrorist sanctuaries. I bet you won't hear about that on NPR.

And I'll poach this comment I made at LGF and repost it here:

Yes, 200,000 people or more will be probably dead from it when all is said and done. It is a great tragedy, without question, and for that I am sorry.

But where was all this newfound sympathy when Bangladesh lost an even greater number (275,000) in the 1991 cyclone? When 800,000 Rwandans were murdered and the world sat by, and did nothing? Where is the sympathy for the 100,000 that have been killed so far and a million displaced in Darfur in an on-going genocide? Where is the outrage there?

I’ll pray for those who died and those who lost family, all the while knowing that many of them would just as soon see me dead for praying to God instead of Allah. But don’t expect me to shed tears.

I can only take so much hypocrisy.

Stick that in your liberal bong and smoke it.

I think perhaps AmeriKKK is dyslexic. Got right and left confused?

I can't believe how sick these people are. When this happened I said that it would not be too long before the idiots would somehow bring politics in to it or blame Bush. Voila. I wonder how many of them have made a donation or, God forbid, gotten on a plane to volunteer.

These people have to be stopped. Free speech is one thing but this is akin to shouting fire in a crowded theater!

Did you see the reason the thread was locked? "Please feel free to repost without the inflammatory subject line."

Makes me want to restart it with the subject line, "If you htink a 9.0 quake was human-induced, you are a stupid shit."

Maybe they were all watching "A View to a Kill" last night and got a little confused. Are any DUers claiming that Christopher Walken was spotted vacationing in Thailand?

Geez, Paul, you gave me grief for taking a certain Resolutely Clueless troll attention, then you go "fishing" through DU? At least I let them come to me, I don't go looking for them...

Hey Paul, if Iraq isn't in Asia, where the hell is it? Europe?

Yeah. Iraq is in Southwest Asia.

The orders for my last two deployments to that region included "SW Asia Theater of Operations".

See, this is what I meant by convicting the left through what the DO say, rather than what they don't.

Outstanding job, though I can still smell the DU on ya Paul.

AmeriKKKan Evil claims that "rightie bloggers" only spew out hate...

In the past, the left has asked "us" to try and perceive why Bin Laden's terrrorist network would hate us, and then address those problems as a solution to the GWOT.

So my commie friend, why don't you sit and reflect on why I hate you so much....

I was LOL to read: "..generally, leftie bloggers post about current events and explain (with reason and factual support) what the blogger likes or does not like about said events."

Where was the reason and factual support? I love it when these guys contradict themselves merely a few sentences apart.

Who needs Ipecac when you got DU. :-)

I do so love liberals. Without them life would be so bland and we would not have the opportunity to see what true hate and ignorance of the facts looks like.

I have watched the posts at places like democraticunderground.com and americablog.blogspot.com and have seen not much more than an all out attempt to see who can hate this country the most, and who can make the most outrageous charges against the president.

AmeriKKKan Evil has taken delusion to a new level here.

Heres what I find interesting:

Christians believe in an 'Earth created in seven days' creation theory and they are people to be laughed and scoffed at.

Leftists believe the Earth is a living organism with a skeleton that is being leached away by pollution, and the crickets can't chirp any louder.

Wow!!

God hates the world because we elected Bush two times in a row! If only Al or JFK had won this would never have happened! Blame it on America, seems I've heard this a few times the last five decades. It is starting to wear thin.

tee bee, I laughed so hard at that one, I had a tear in my eye. thanks

Traditionally Boyd, Iraq is considered part of the middle-east.

They do have maps in Texas right?

HAHAHAHA your brain is starting to hurt? hahaha that's hysterical. Putting this all together like this would make anyone's brain hurt - it just goes to show you how many people are STUUUUUUUUPID!!
Didn't you know it was George Bush's fault for those hurricane's in Florida and that's why he won that state? The rest of this garbage you found is priceless and glad you did it even if it made your brain hurt but no one was to blame for natural disasters. Anyone who thinks so is an asshat.

Aren't a great number of the victims Muslim? What are the islamofacists donating? What's Osama's contributing? Arafat's widow? No moolah from the Mullahs? Nothing??

Amerikkkan Evil posted the same exact comment on Ace of Spades HQ. Exact. Down to the last comma.

Think someone's looking for traffic? I do...

you're the brave one, Paul, peering into the vast darkness filled with glittering eyes. since there's no update about Texas, the water and cross must be on the table.

it's good to know and just laugh at how unhinged some folks are, but I get spooked by going into caves full of them. fortunately this is only the digital reflection of the wasteland; as the kluxer after me demonstrated, sometimes they follow you back with torches and pitchforks.

For those interested in geography check out the link below. It's free, it's fun and it's educational. Basically, the Middle East refers to a region and Asia is a continent. Iraq is both in the Middle East and part of Asia.

Here's the relevant Ace thread:

Trolls have no shame or, it seems, originality. Have you ever visited the Mahablog? *Shudder*

Whenever I drop by the DU this line runs through my mind.

If I dream I am a butterfly am I a man dreaming he is a butterfly? Or a butterfly dreaming he is a man dreaming he is a butterfly?

Are the posts on the DU for real? Or is the site actually part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy where Right Wingers fabricate outrageous posts as Left Wingers just to make Left Wingers look bad?

Has anybody ever actually seen a DU Moonbat?
