Look at that paunch on Peaches. More like "eat the pain away."

Conor Oberst is Frodo Baggins.

Welcome Michelle Malkin readers. Millards' plan to support the troops, from subboard.com:
... Citizens can do more to actively obstruct our government’s foreign policy. “If you are going to tax me to fund an illegal war, I’m not going to pay taxes ... When people say, ‘If a soldier leaves and goes to Canada instead of going to an illegal war, I’m going to send him money,’ that’s resistance.”
Uh huh.

They need a copy of "Protesters for Dummies"

Not going to pay taxes, huh? What, did he watch "The Practice" last week.

Good post, yo.

The Sad Facts:

Ms. Cho is not funny. Being a Leftist and unfunny is not an act, it is a lifestyle choice.

The "vet" is a National Guardsman who was on a BG's staff during his "tour of duty". I seriously doubt this pogue did anything while in Iraq.

Michael Stipe was once the lead singer of a great band. Now, it looks like he is dying of AIDS and his politics are even more stupid.

Susan Sarandon is old and stupid, which is just a sad combination.

Lastly, Cindy Sheehan is clearly mentally ill. How else can one explain why a woman who was "too tired" to speak to her son the last time he called home can find the time to bask in the spotlight but not buy her son tombstone?

you guys are so confused i cant even find it in my heart to be mad at you; it would be like yelling at a retard. first i was poor growing up like really poor and i am anti bush. i know there are the dumb fucks there who want imediet withdrawl but they dont rep. the majority of anti war citizens. you red bastards just take the idea of one blue and scream it into everybodys face untill everyone thinks thats what alkl of them are pushing at every protest. i could say just cuse your red you support all those reds who protest military funeral because acording to them "us soldiers are sopporting homosexuality by fighting for a country who supports it" but im not so ignorant to assume all you idiots support these same party ass holes. im not like you i use logic. second we support the troops for makeing a comitment to the usa and following through with it to the end. these people were willing to die for us if we were in danger and you dont see how someone can respect that commitment? you ignorant fucks your not even good enugh for hell youll spend eternity in the vestibule. p.s. thats from dantes inferno which you would know if you bastards actually read any thing. p.s.s.poker is gambling so it is a crime and should be you shitty ass excuse for a journalist

There's nothing I like more than well written commentary.

"you ignorant fucks your not even good enugh for hell youll spend eternity in the vestibule. p.s. thats from dantes inferno which you would know if you bastards actually read any thing. "

Let me guess, your real name is Virgil?

Don't worry, Sane - they cover capitalization and punctuation in third grade. Spelling tests start in second, though, so you may want to study up some.

This is hilarious. It's true about those oh-so-important polls; media polls for one reason or another almost always oversample Democrats, which politicians know but the "activists" seem to have no idea about.

That Peaches song was awesome in "Lost in Translation" (it was in that scene in the strip club). Thinking over the song, it definitely makes me realize how misguided our Mideast foreign policy is. What was I thinking??

It would have been nice to just assemble all the performers and attendees and ask them the question, "should the U.S. have invaded Afghanistan?" The answers would have been very instructive.

"sane person", that guy who protests at military funerals happens to be a Democrat.

Put me down as another ignorant f...., i'll bet she/he will remain poor... die poor... obviously not enought brains to figure out this is the greatest country in the world.

Priceless. A New York City Republican calling others out for their pretension and privilege. Telling that all you can do is attack the people involved, not the core of their message.

As for courage of convictions, well, you believe in the war: how about you take a walk down (and I'm assuming it's down) to the Times Square recruiting office for a tour or three? I'm sure they're looking.

"Look at that paunch on Peaches. More like 'eat the pain away'."

Hahahaha...rolling on the floor laughing...

Awesome work. Can't say that I wish I'd been there, but God bless you for having the stomach for it. Much appreciated!!!

Bush's low approval ratings are NOT just about Iraq. There are many conservatives, such as myself, who are currently not happy with Bush because of the spending issue. As for Iraq, most conservatives fully support our efforts there, and have no issue with Bush about it.

By the way, I am talking about REAL poll numbers, not the CBS polls which are heavily weighted with Democrats.

"As for courage of convictions, well, you believe in the war: how about you take a walk down (and I'm assuming it's down) to the Times Square recruiting office for a tour or three? I'm sure they're looking."

I would, JB, but they don't take 47 year olds. STFU! Not my problem that Reagan and Bush seniro were presidents during my eligible years and the country was GREAT!

Wait wait wait, dear. You like Bright Eyes but you don't like Steve Earle?

I usually agree with your politics, but if you think that Bright Eyes passes for good music than I think I need to join you at one of these meet-ups and show you the light.

JB:

The problem is, when the core message is expressed by people like this, how can you take it seriously? God bless them for their apparent dedication, but it's impossible to believe that they're actually trying to convert anyone to their cause. Only someone motivated by a desperate fear of not being cool (i.e., a teenager) would adopt a political stance because Michael Stipe said to. Freaks only impress other freaks.

The second problem is that by supporting their position we validate them, their political beliefs, their hyperbolic statements, and their ridiculous behavior. They're rapidly using up whatever social and political capital they had left over from the 60s - we don't want to give them any more.

Criticizing them may be like shooting the messenger, but sorry - everything's connected.

BTW - Who the hell is Peaches? The only one I remember is an ancient diva, one half of the duo Peaches & Herb. Was that her, and why was she dressed like Tina Turner?

Hey JB,

If you are so against this war and for the "freedom fighters" in Iraq, why don't you go join them? How about you go strap a bomb to yourself and attack an Iraqi patrol? I am sure that they are looking for some useful idiots to join their ranks. What? Oh. That tired old chickenhawk rhetoric that you are spewing isn't backed up by action? Pathetic.

Actually there have been three different Peaches's of "Peaches and Herb" fame; Herb keeps replacing them. The middle one was the one with all the hits. I learned this from VH1. They're not connected to this one; they were all black, and this one's a Jew.

JB -

I served in the first Gulf War. How about you?

thank you, Sane Person, for showing us the lack of intelligence and education that backs your viewpoint.

Hey JB,

What exactly did you serve in the first Gulf War? The meals or the desserts?

Anyways Timothy McVay ALSO served in Gulf War 1 so what's your point?

Mr Sanity "you guys are so confused i cant even find it in my heart to be mad at you......idiots....ignorant fucks your not even good enugh for hell"

Dig deep, Mr Sanity. You need to first visualize the anger before you can find it. The hunt may be a long one so pack a lunch.

What happened to my post? I forgot to enter my email address but figured it would come up eventually...

Yeah, that's it, Duncan...because I'm against the war I must be for al-Qaeda and the insurgents over there. Keep looking at the world in black and white, it makes you no less ridiculous than the left-wing "freaks" you purport to mock.

DAMN. It doesn't let you post without an email address, Steff. Next time right-click and click 'back' to add the address and post, sorry.

"Sane" person, while I always encourage insane rants, it wasn't me who was saying that everyone believes in immediate withdrawal, it was the crazies at the concert.

JB, Uh so how does being a NY Republican make me pretentious exactly? As for attacking the people not the message, the message is moronic, I'm pretty sure I made that clear in my post.

And Ben, yes I love Bright Eyes. I'm a big lyrics person and Earle's 'fuck the fbi, fuck the cia' doesn't do it for me. I always say my favorite anti-Iraq-war song is Bright Eyes 'One foot in front of the other' (the way it was before it was released. It's called something else on the album with terrible female backing vocals).

As for courage of convictions, well, you believe in the war: how about you take a walk down (and I'm assuming it's down) to the Times Square recruiting office for a tour or three? I'm sure they're looking.

Hate to break it to ya dude, but they DON'T have to LOOK, still plenty of people out there joining up that believe in what we're doing over there, VOLUNTARILY I might add. Course you don't hear that in your polls do you? And before you ask, I'm speaking from a recruiter's voice of experience!

Karol,
oops ok. So waaait a minute here, please tell me the album "with terrible female backing vocals" you refer to is not "I'm Wide Awake...", with the Legendary Emmylou Harris?? as that is the most beautiful dueting in a long time! what songs did he play at the concert?

JB, nice hypocrisy:

Telling that all you can do is attack the people involved, not the core of their message.

That's good advice. But why don't you take it?

As for courage of convictions, well, you believe in the war: how about you take a walk down (and I'm assuming it's down) to the Times Square recruiting office for a tour or three? I'm sure they're looking.

Telling, isn't it, that all you can do is attack the speaker and not her message. Or, does your support of the Iraq war depend solely on her enlistment?

Amerikkka is fasscist it is just like in Hitler times

Haha, great stuff!
Love your site, big supporter!

Hee hee hee! I love reading the comments from the trolls. Especially Sane. Are we sure that wasn't a freeper who got loose? Also, Rusty, what you wrote was priceless. First of all, it's spelled "fascist", and "Hitlertimes" is a brand new word. But I suppose they aren't teaching English composition in high school anymore. I think it's more "English as a fascist language" or some sort. Let me know when your grades come out. Your momma will probably want to cry.

Isn't it great when people can honestly and openly debate questions of foreign policy in a give and take exchange of well thought out-factually accurate claims, like when "the only sane man" says, "you ignorant fucks your not even good enugh for hell youll spend eternity in the vestibule..."

Karol, great job covering the concert, I am certain that you deserve applause/kudos/rewards/etc... There is no way I could have sat through that shower of ignorance.

I absolutely agree, if the Democrats choose to run on a platform of immediate withdrawal because they start believing the polls, they are going to be wandering in the political wilderness for another 4 years.

How do you tell the spammers from the performance artists, that's what I want to know...

Congrats for getting cited in Best of the Web!
I'm totally jealous.

And what I want to know is, how does Herb dispose of his used Peaches, and has anyone told him about the yiddische Peaches? Damn...this could get ugly.

As to attacking the people, not the message - well, messages tend to originate with people. In their brains, in some cases. Do you tend to listen carefully to people for whom you have no respect?

Why should I treat someone's message as if it were this pristine entity that simply arose from some mysterious well of pure ideas? People construct their messages - usually from all the other crap that's rattling around in their brains. Or else they parrot those messages from other people that confirm their existing prejudices. If I'm going to trust a person's message then they'd better convince me that their brains contain something other than dirty jokes and stupid song lyrics. And that they've actually thought about the problem themselves rather than recycling some memes from 1968 and a Noam Chomsky novel. Sorry - being freaky and controversial and contrarian and raging against the machine is not proof of an independent mind. Just means they're following a different herd.

P.S. - That's why blogs are better. Better to be writing something - anything - than sitting in an audience while some prima donna tells dirty jokes and shouts slogans at you, or standing in the rain staring at some dipshit wearing a papier mache head and a sign with three words on it.

This is too good to be true. I want a copy of the "performance," for my collection of things that will never amount to anything positive.

Ok, I really don't want to start any more flame wars or be a troll, but I'd just like to point out, hmm, 2 things.

SB, I take serious offense to your statement that teenagers are people who do things just to be cool, this is a generalization. I'd like to add I am a teenager who doesn't do things "just to be cool."

Joel, I think Rusty was just trying to use a little clever wordplay, not misspelling his words. America had kkk in it (I don't think i have to explain that) and fasscist is spelled with just one extra letter (do I really have to tell which one?). I can't explain the joining of Hitler and times, no more than I can explain pointless bashing of others' posts.
I don't mean to bash others' posts myself, I'd just like to point out these things.

As for the article, I don't really know what to say. I'm able to vote now this year, I just hope I can find candidates I agree with. Whether that's Bush or not, for president or anything else, I cannot say.

"I'm able to vote now this year, I just hope I can find candidates I agree with. Whether that's Bush or not, for president or anything else, I cannot say."

I didn't know Bush had called a presidential election less than two years into his second term! In fact, I didn't even think that was constitutional...

Snack the pain away!

Diz:

I apologize for the teenager remark. You are correct - that was a generalization. No malice intended - just cynicism, which is a weakness of mine. There are certainly people of all ages and political persuasions who are motivated by being part of the "right" group - the cool group, the holy group, the smart group, the we're-on-the-right-side-of-history group, or what have you.

I'm glad you're reading this blog, hope you're reading others across the political spectrum and that you don't believe half of what you read. You sound like a thoughtful person. The fact is, I am hoping that you and others your age will be able to think outside the Vietnam-era box the rest of us seem to be stuck in and maybe bring some fresh ideas to the discussion. Well, hoping - but not hopeful. That's just the cynicism again.

Anyway, good luck with your first vote. Make it count!

Great job Karol!
As for Sane, priceless!
Sane, where can I get a copy of Dante's Inferno written in all lower case?
Perhaps you should change your name to:
"shift key broken on computer-duh"
or "Capitol letters are for Neo-cons".
Seriously, it is hard for me to be outraged by all of the F* yous when you can't even capitolize "I" for crying out loud? C'mon man, buy a paper, read a book, emulate what the "adults" do. The only thing worse is your brethren the dreaded ALLCAPS!
News flash for you Sane, F* you doesn't bother conservatives anyway. We laugh at posts like yours. They are hilarious! BTW if you really want to piss us off, (I shouldn't tell you this), try putting an ugly image in our minds. Like say, Cindy Sheehan nude. ARRRGGGHHHH! I did it to myself, ARRRGGGHHHH...

anyone dissing peaches or the song "fuck the pain away" is most likely a right-wing closet-case faggot like ken mehlman, jeff gannon, david drier, karl rove, rick santorum, and the rest.

yeah, that "old" susan sarandon, I would never fuck a beautiful and sexy older woman like that, cause I like taking big, hairy, redneck cock deep into my own chickenhawk ass too much.

what a bunch of pussies!

cold war veteran

Ms. Cho is not funny. Being a Leftist and unfunny is not an act, it is a lifestyle choice.

Speaking of stupid and unfunny, how could you forget to mention The Daily Show? I watch it infrequently, but it just isn't funny - unless stupid is the new funny. The guy seems to think that all he needs to do to get an automatic laugh is to play a clip of the President and then smirk to the audience.

Rusty:

If America was fascist just like Hitlertimes, jackasses like yourself wouldn't be able to post such idiocy because you'd have already been carted away to the concentration camp for daring to dissent.

I know it's hard for you but, please, think. It's easy if you try.

Cindy sheehan. Taking her son's values, his service, his sacrifice and wiping her ass with them. what a 'mom'.

Hey Karol is that your photo at the top of the post? If so I'd like to meet you. But I doubt it is. Most Republican women have a dour, anal, my cheeks are puckered tight look.

Give peace a chance...............

Amen DeeCee,
Give me a sexy Democrat any day!
Janet Reno, Madelyne Albright, Cindy Sheehan, Donna Shalayla, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Star Jones, Susan Sarandon...
Mmmm, me so horny!
And just to be fair to the ladies, just think of Ted Kennedy in a Speedo.

Visualize whirled peas!

Some would consider puckered cheeks to be an interesting physical and intellectual challenge.

Others may have to wait for the Supreme Court to declare cheek-puckering a violation of their civil rights. I think it falls under the twenty-first amendment: Repeal of Prohibition. Interpreted in the context of international law, that is...

I didn't necessarily mean Bush was going to be running for president again (I at know the terms were limited to 2 after FDR) but if he runs for anything else after his term is up, I may vote for him, I may not.

Zeeg Hile you Chimp Gesstapo minions! Start loading the trains for the Gitmo ovens!

You can blow KKKarl Rove for the privilege of lighting the fires!

Rusty, I am all for loading the Gitmo ovens. The more loser Qu'ran loving Mohammad cartoon fools we cook, the less oil we have to burn.
Of course, Cindy Sheehan should have pole position.

This is great stuff! I'm currently in Abu Ghraib with a few months left on a 15 month tour. Its fun reading about these celebrities? protesting the war. I love the chickenhawk arguments probably the most. The leftists think its such a winner. What was that move from the Karate Kid that had 'no defense?'

Thats the Chickenhawk argument to them, the ridiculous looking Swan Move. They say, "if you support it why don't you join it!" and the only counter-argument, in thier minds, is "if you don't support it, don't join it!" Which is, obviously, not effective since their whole political platform revolves around the do-nothing option. They have no intention of joining anything that lasts longer than a bad concert.

But you know what is an effective counter-argument? There are 130000 troops over here that volunteered to serve. We defend those that are unable to defend themselves and we volunteered for the job. And if we follow their logic to its, uh, logical conclusion, then all 60 million people that voted for Bush need to come here and start kicking ass. Maybe that is thier plan to win the next election...

I love Rusty, too. Apparently German wasn't offered in his high school. It is "Zieg Heil," big guy. Even misspellings in other languages bug me. The only exlanation for this spelling is if he is trying to put a French accent on it...in that case, of course, he has my full support!

And lastly, when the lefties call Bush 'Chimpy' or some derivation thereof and misspell KKKarl Rove, accuse those that disagree with them the Gestapo...it exposes them for what they accuse others of. Am I not allowed a dissenting view?

yankee-7 out

Oh! I didn't even say what I intended to!

I told my family when I was home on leave that if, God forbid, I am killed in Iraq, I want it well known that I am a successful civilian engineer with a good paying job, Army Reservist of 18 years, volunteered then and volunteered for this current operation out of full support for the policies and love of this country. My death would not change my views on the Iraq war and it should not change thiers. My final wishes, stated as such, are to "not go Sheehan on me."

My family agreed not to shit on my life.

I left when my children were 2 and 4. I'll return when they are 4 and 6. Let that stand as the counter to the Chickenhawk argument. Where is the committment of the left?

You can't be 37218 serious?!?

Wow.You are so insightful.And original.
Maybe if you weren't exactly like all the stereotypical democrats that you so readily put down.
