HuffPosters Strike Again: BushCo More Evil Than Al Quada Leader

Fans of JQWorld are well aware of the level of detail that went into documenting the infamous "Cheney Thread," in which the most seething, loonbatted, hate-filled leftists ---- who comprise the "new base" of the Democratic Party ---- expressed on The Huffington Post their profound regret that the Taliban failed in its effort to assassinate Vice President Cheney during his trip to Afghanistan. For those of you who missed it, read it all, here.

Tonight, I got a tip that the HuffPosters are at it again --- only this time:

- An argument could be made that they have notched up their loonbattedness to unprecedented levels, in that they are now claiming or implying that Khaleed Sheikh Mohammed --- the mastermind behind 9/11, and who is now reported to have finally confessed to it --- is actually innocent, or confessed to a crime he didn't commit due to "torture," or that this entire story is just a lie being concocted by the Bush administration

- I grabbed PDF files of a significant portion of the entire thread (so Queen Arianna and her minions can't claim, as they did in re the Cheney thread, that such comments only comprised a "miniscule portion" of the comments, which it then looked like --- only after they'd surgically scrubbed the thread to give it that appearance); see here

- As a result of what I've seen tonight, I will never again call any HuffPosters "HuffTards," because I now realize that it is a cruel insult to retarded people. Unlike the hateful, insane, psychopathic whackjobs who were posting on this thread tonight, retarded people are generally benevolent, peaceful, and far more intelligent. In short, retarded people would be eminently preferable as fellow citizens for normal, patriotic Americans.

Here's where it started (see upper-right corner):

Here is an excerpt of the AP story that was cited at the top of the thread, here, and the Department of Defense press release containing the transcript is here.

WASHINGTON - Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, confessed to that attack and a string of others during a military hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to a transcript released Wednesday by the Pentagon.

Mohammed claimed responsibility for planning, financing, and training others for bombings ranging from the 1993 attack at the World Trade Center to the attempt by would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes.

In all, Mohammed said he was responsible for planning 29 individual attacks, including many that were never executed. The comments were included in a 26-page transcript released by the Pentagon, which also blacked out some of his remarks.

And according to a report from Bloomberg, citing DoD transcripts, Mohammed said the following:

"I was the military operational commander for all foreign operations around
the world," under the leadership of Osama bin Laden, Mohammed said in a
statement read to a tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba by a U.S. military officer
acting as his personnel representative.

Mohammed's list of terrorist operations he oversaw included the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, an attack on a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, and planned attacks on buildings in New York, Chicago, California and Washington state, according to the transcript released yesterday.

Wow. The first thing one might consider is the fact that we actually gave Mohammed a chance to explain himself, rather than immediately putting a bullet in his brain once we knew who we'd captured, given the very, very, very extensive history we had on him, which is why he was such a high-value military (not law-enforcement) target.

But no, we are Americans. Instead, we gave him what we give all detainees at Camp Gitmo: gourmet Islamic meals, brand-new Korans, prayer rugs, comfy cots, and groovy orange jumpsuits. Which is a hell of a lot more than al Quada and their devout affiliates give U.S. soldiers that they capture (do I need to post videos of beheadings? the dragging of their dying bodies through the streets, to be torn apart by savage Islamists?).

Oh, and as the story indicates, he was given a "personal representative," in the form of none other than a U.S. military officer.

Yes, please, tell me about other nations that would provide all this to a psychopathic mass-murderer who was the military commander of the jihadist nutjobs who declared war on America.

==========================================================

NOW, with that background... let's get back to the notorious Huffington Post, and that "miniscule portion" of what Queen Arianna referred to as "unhinged, fringe" commenters that visit their wisdom on her site. We need to get to this before her tech minions start scrubbing the most outrageous posts away, like they now say is their official policy.

The following is but a sampling of the estimated 200 comments that were posted as of 1:50am on Wednesday night (HuffPost has stopped posting total numbers of comments, so this is an estimate of the 8 pages of lunacy, at an average of 25 comments per page).

But before we begin, as you read, pay close attention to the following three things, the most egregious examples of which I've highlighted in RED:

1) The misconception that has been drummed into an ever-larger portion of our population by leftist "journalists" and "educators," that enemy combatants who do not abide by the rules of war as established by the Geneva Convention are entitled to slick trial lawyers and access to our legal system. To the contrary, they are ONLY entitled to a military tribunal and humane treatment while our guests at Camp Gitmo until their status is adjudicated --- and if they are found guilty, a proper (non-Islamist) execution.

2) The indictment that this brigade of lunatics is making against our soldiers, en masse, whom they claim to "support," yet in this thread claim are acting like Nazis, that they are all torturing prisoners at random and sadistically, being led by those most prominent modern Nazis, Bush and Cheney.

3) The obligatory conspiracy theories, that 9/11 was not perpetrated by al Quada as part of the war they declared on America, as they have admitted and congratulated themselves for time and time again ---- but rather, was part of a gigantic Bush-Cheney-Halliburton-Diebold-PNAC-etc., etc., etc. conspiracy.

-------------------------------------------

OK, are you ready? Good. Just make sure you have your anti-indigestion medicine nearby --- you may well need it. OK, let's go --- before the HuffPost admins start scrubbing this thread, just as they did the Cheney one...

If you individually pulled the hairs out of my ass and nailed me with a frozen cactus, I'd admit to inventing the magnolia tree too.
By: afraidtoland on March 14, 2007 at 08:10pm

Wow, this guy was a tough nut to crack. It took them 3+ years to torture a confession out of him. Did he confess to sinking the Titanic? Wearing women's underwear? Dealing coke to Bush in the 70's?This is pathetic. We're the laughingstock of the world!
By: revoltnow on March 14, 2007 at 08:13pm

they tortured him......It is wrong. we should never torture anybody.and they probably had him confess under torture years ago....and brought it out now to distract from the Attorney Generallisimo problem.Confessions under torture are not admitting to doing something. Maybe he did mastermind, but they shouldn't torture anybody. It is wrong. Morally wrong. Get it, Fascists?
By: ghostsofAmerica on March 14, 2007 at 08:16pm

Even if the confession is true, it's inadmissable because of the circumstances of the interrogation. This is sad because Bush's policies have made the treatment of enemy combatants a laughing stock in front of the whole world.
By: subway on March 14, 2007 at 08:17pm

This Mohammed guy's been tortured in Guantanamo to come up with a story ignorant Americans will buy. Bullshit baffles brains.
By: midtown on March 14, 2007 at 08:18pm

This guy is a Sunni and part of the Muslim Brotherhood out of Kuwait and Egypt aka Mujahideen. The mujahideen were significantly financed, armed, and trained by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the Carter and Reagan administrations, Saudi Arabia, the People's Republic of China, several European countries and Pakistan (during the Zia-ul-Haq military regime). The Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was the interagent used in the majority of these activities to disguise the sources of support for the resistance in Afghanistan.This is very bad news for the Bush/Cheney swine herd and the current leadership in Pakistan.Are the 9/11 Conspiracy nuts not so insane after all?
By: getoffmedz on March 14, 2007 at 08:19pm

Of course he was responsible for all aspects of 9-11.How old is he again ? Maybe he killed JFK as well.Anything to keep the light of day off of who was really responsible.
By: Harvo on March 14, 2007 at 08:22pm

Wait ... this guy is the "mastermind" of 9/11? That's the worst picture of Dick Cheney I ever saw!
By: visualizechimpeachment on March 14, 2007 at 08:26pm

Could someone in the "jounalist" field, please get word to the Fascists that the public is already ahead of them on this story?...could we just get to the impeachment?From someone who exprienced waterboarding a first-hand report:"You can hold out on the waterboard...for about as long as your breath holds out. Then, cued by the lack of oxygen, the body's autotonic nervous system goes into panic. This is quite different from mind panic,which can be consciously controlled with practice. Body panic is beyond control of your mind. What the mind is doing is frantically spinning, trying to make ANYTHING that could be said, to make it stop...just for a moment for a full breath."Emphasis on SAY ANYTHING...
By: beaver on March 14, 2007 at 08:30pm

water board and he would have confessed to killing Cock Robin and kidnapping the Lindburg baby. Maybe he's guilty of many things but confessions without corroberation don't mean much. Do they? If you already had the verifying evidence what value is a coerced confession?
By: scottymac11 on March 14, 2007 at 08:32pm

The Pentagon is doing a lot of political damage distraction this week? hmm.Here we go again:"Weapons of Mass Distraction"
By: SCG on March 14, 2007 at 08:35pm

The United States is now the penultimate pariah state. If I were an average American I WOULD NOT be expecting any sympathy for any future events from foreigners. Expect a lot of people turning their backs. It surprising how many average people I speak with on a daily basis who view the USA as a lost cause.Now, when they said this "terrorist" confessed to may other things, did he also confess to kidnapping the Lindhberg baby?
By: PatrickWalker on March 14, 2007 at 08:42pm

Hearings in SECRET with no outside independent verification of the Pentangle's released 'side of the story'...So you tortured a confession, then allowed no outside observers as the confession was read in TRIBUNAL, then after nothing but lies from day 1 of this administration, you want us to just swallow whatever they say came out of their TORTURE...as the TRUTH???
Eat shit and die, YOU soldiers HAVE LESS HONOR THAN THE MAN YOU CONDEMN!
By: NoFactsJustTruth on March 14, 2007 at 08:45pm

Oh my, how convenient, and timely, for another Bush poll ratings bump. Couldn't have anything to do with obscuring the growing media attention on the rampant fraud and corruption throughout the entire Reflublican Party, could it? Just me, I guess, a born cynic! The clothes he's wearing at the table are, no doubt, the first cover he's had since being whisked off to that Halliburton built shit hole, in the dead of night. Trust a Guantanamo confession... ummmmmmmm, NO!
By: Mummyscurse on March 14, 2007 at 08:57pm

It is now generally admitted that Ali Mohamed worked for the FBI, the CIA, and U.S. Special Forces. Patrick Fitzgerald, who testified to the 9/11 Commission about Ali Mohamed, knew him well. In 1994 he had named him as an unindicted co-conspirator in the New York landmarks case, yet allowed him to remain free. This was because, as Fitzgerald knew, Ali Mohamed was an FBI informant, from at least 1993 and maybe 1989.(3) Thus, from 1994 "until his arrest in 1998 [by which time the 9/11 plot was well under way], Mohamed shuttled between California, Afghanistan, Kenya, Somalia and at least a dozen other countries."(4)...."
By: ghostsofAmerica on March 14, 2007 at 09:07pm

Glad they nailed him finally. I hope they get him on JFK too!
By: gda on March 14, 2007 at 09:11pm

Well, it seems to me from most things I've heard or read that there's a fair chance this fellow was indeed behind it.But the Bush morons have fucked up everything so badly that in any civilized system he would probably walk.Secret prisons. Secret evidence. Torture. Hearsay evidence.Well done shitforbrains!!
By: Geoffi on March 14, 2007 at 09:12pm

Sounds like he confessed to everything I wonder if he confessed to screwing up Florida's voting and convincing the supremes to appoint the president. Really though when you thnk about it if he confesses to every terrorist attack on this country it makes us all look like dumb asses, Oh, wait, we are.
By: birdman on March 14, 2007 at 09:19pm

We find similar symptomatic resistance in the 9/11 Report.1) Here is an easy example: the identity of the hijackers. The FBI had distributed a list naming 18 of the 19 alleged hijackers by 10 AM on 9/11.2Within two weeks the identities of at least six of the hijackers were unclear; as men in Arab countries with the same ..."---------------bait and switch.. .this is the real insider, worked for CIA and FBI and special forces.Patsies, and Moles, read Webster Tarpley's SYNTHETIC TERROR.
By: ghostsofAmerica on March 14, 2007 at 09:27pm

HuffPost MUST NOT give this any voice. This has been known for years. This is a CASEBOOK Bush "administration" distract the toddler with the interesting toy play. This "pentagon" press release is just a burner-switching tactic.DO NOT give this any voice. Focus on impeaching Gonzales and pushing Libby culpability up the chain.
By: leoninearies on March 14, 2007 at 09:35pm

Check out the BBC video of WTC7 falling before it actually did. Type in BBC WTC7 in youtube. This is hard evidence that the official story is a sham.
By: stro2425 on March 14, 2007 at 09:40pm

Again, it was an inside job, and it might be possible that some of the Arabs on the FBi list had something to do with it -- if only as a gaggle of patsies, kind of like the Miami 7. There is enough reported to bring up serious questions of all the contruction work that went on in the North and South towers. The control of the security agency was in the hands of Marvin Bush, who took control that Year. Silverstein bought the buildings that year and not only saved a bundle on the proposed cleanup of Asbestos, he made $7 Billion from the extra insurance he put on it, after only millions of $ to take control of it. Anyway, many have heard it all before. It stinks to high heaven, but I'm sure this will run on Fox news for a while.This would be the second Actual arrest, but based on tortured confessions. There isn't enough left of these people to verify the government's claims. Pretty sick.
By: vitriolandangst on March 14, 2007 at 09:42pm

(NOTE to JQWorld readers - I've largely omitted the many posts by "ghostsofAmerica" (a/k/a spiritquest, a/k/a rese, a/k/a about 35 other IDs), long-winded 9/11 and anti-Bush conspiracy theories; I'm sparing you the gory details, but check the thread to see for yourself; now, back to the lunatic hatred of the other HuffPosters...)

1 - With Osama Bin Laden dead the administration needs a new scapegoat or dupe.2 - This announcement is most likely a distraction because the Bush/Cheney swine herd is on very thin ice of late.3 - They picked the wrong dupe because this one is Sunni and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or mujahideen via Kuwait and Saudi Arabia with little or no connection to Iran and was CIA-trained.4 - Most likely this "mastermind" was tortured which makes his confession very suspect.5 - If anything, this may re-ignite the investigation into 9/11. Hello Congress!
By: getoffmedz on March 14, 2007 at 10:04pm

What a crock of s**t. If these people were really behind 9/11 they would be televised hearings. All this stuff is done in secret and with torture. This guy is half retarded and we are supposed to believe he engineered this massive attack. What a godamn joke.Want something real. How about that Alianaz Insurance doesn't want to pay Larry Silverstein. Maybe the gig is up.

Only diehard Republicans believe this is true.
By: LeaderofMen on March 14, 2007 at 10:14pm

So...what took so long for them to let us know? Or did they not allow him to confess for a couple years? Which is it? It couldn't be old "torture 'em good" Gonzales suddenly getting too much attention now, could it?

The American flag is just as bad here as a Nazi symbol. you wear it saying :"I don't care about anything but money and I will kill you and your family to get it." Wearing the American flag means that. You certainly are part of the problem in my country.

"...unfortunately, after more than four years in US military custody, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was also quick to confess to the Tate-LaBianca murders, hurricane Katrina, and the Harriet Meyers nomination."
By: Cid on March 14, 2007 at 10:59pm

A confession coerced by torture and a military tribunal conducted in secret? Our government has done us all a great disservice, because we will never know the truth about this man or any other detainee at Guantanamo. Given the Bush Administration's track record, I'd sooner believe that Paris Hilton was the mastermind behind 9/11.
By: buddhistMonkey on March 14, 2007 at 11:06pm

excuse my cynicism... but how the hell do we know what is in the transcripts, or if they are the real transcripts?I don't believe a fricking thing that is said by these people any more.I am so done with trusting one thing that they utter.bunch a murdering, torturing, thieving, rotten, fricking criminal thugs!
By: accountability on March 14, 2007 at 11:08pm

They forgot to claim, that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was responsible for also initiating the Iraq war, causing the under-water explosion that created the Tsunami, and finally for a grand finale, the act of blowing up the levee in new Orleans. My god, you would've thought that with the amount of torture they gave him, he would've sung like a bird, and admitted anything. Putin, will swear he was the one who put the plans into operation to also murder and poison the Russian spy. I guess anything Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is supposed to be responsible for, could never be the creative uttering of the Guantanamo Gang, who are working in secret torture facilities, hoping you will believe that it makes their work of extracting evidence in Guantanamo all the more worthwhile and legitimate.You must take it on faith, with no cameras in the court, and no court at all, after all the generous government of yours, has given you the court judge for the trial hearings of Anna Nicole.George W. Bush be praised, I don't think so. American justice at it's finest, I don't think so. Another timely distraction for the media, I think so. Shameful either way. Oh by the way, thanks for finally letting us know.
By: RandyRanson on March 14, 2007 at 11:11pm

Yes, it's pretty hard holding on to the moral high ground and spew righteous indignation when... You invade a country, kill over 600,000 innocent civilians, open up torture camps, turn millions into refugees and steal their resources.
By: contraegoiste on March 14, 2007 at 11:15pm

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also confessed to cutting down the cherry tree, and scaring red riding hood. Tony Snow says the press maligned bin-Laden family have finally been exonerated. By: fourex on March 14, 2007 at 11:23pm

If the war on terror is about to wind down as the second in command at the Pentagon says it has to, then why is Halliburton building a huge prison complex at Guantanomo? I have a great idea who we should put in there. Let the trials of the Bush clown circus begin.
By: TLV on March 14, 2007 at 11:25pm

Bush would confess to what under the same conditions? Cheney would confess to what under the same conditions?Rumsfeld would confess to what under the same conditions?Chertoff would confess to what under the same conditions? Addington and Yoo would confess to what under the same conditions?Ledeen and Wolfowitz would confess to what under the same conditions? Perle and Bolton would confess to what under the same conditions?Who are the terrorists?

By: ladyxoc on March 14, 2007 at 11:28pm

Sure he confessed -- under torture, anybody will say anything. Gullible sheep will fall for this magnificantly timed piece of propaganda.
By: LostCause on March 14, 2007 at 11:31pm

George W. Bush, congratulated the Bin Laden family, and whispered to them, in his best southern drawl, "I told you, you would get your son back alive". Then joking the President whispered to Karl Rove, "Now where can I hide that $500,000,000.00 US dollar reward money"?
By: RandyRanson on March 14, 2007 at 11:50pm

And, if, through your vile inhumane sadistic torture you have DRIVEN THIS GUY KHALID SHEIK MOHAMMED COMPLETELY INSAME, then he's probably not able to assume any responsibility for 9/11 BECAUSE HE'S NOW CRAZY -- -- WHICH YOU HAVE DRIVEN HIM.THANKS A LOT, BUBBLE BOY.FOR GIVING US NO JUSTICE.
By: BushHugger on March 15, 2007 at 12:00am

They tortured him, nothing he says or 'confesses' to is of any value or relevance.This is a Rovian diversion, return to the real news.
By: Exitbushco on March 15, 2007 at 12:32am

BULLSH*T! I wouldn't believe this if it was delivered by God herself!Do this in open court, with proper legal procedures, on TV, with a jury and a proper mechanism for appeal."We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"....ALL means exactly that... A L L!
By: 1TruthTeller on March 15, 2007 at 01:01am

Maybe you believe in such coincidences. I don't. There's no conspiracy. It was blatant. Most people will believe anything besides the truth if the truth is horrifying enough.I didn't schedule the exercises that morning. You can deride me all you want but the truth remains. No matter which way you spin it--did the enemy have foreknowledge of those exercises which would absolutely guarantee their success?--or did those exercises serve as cover for the diabolical plan that would otherwise have never been realized?For the events to have unfolded as they did, their was either unbelievable luck...or complicity.It's really that simple. And that horrifying.

Well, well, well. And that's only 8 pages into the "miniscule portion" of loonbatted, whackjob, "unhinged, fringe" comments posted.

Behold --- the "new base" of the Democratic Party, to whom the "most ethical Congress in history" has already surrendered, as noted mere days ago, here on JQWorld --- right before they also surrendered to Fox News Channel, here.
And with all this, it's a wonder why the jihadists think Americans --- under modern Democratic "leadership" --- are primed and ready for dhimmitude.

Even as an atheist, I feel compelled to say, "God bless America --- we're gonna need it."



=============================================

UPDATE 1, MARCH 15: I ALMOST FORGOT...

The only thing missing from this story is how, once exposed, the HuffPost loonbats claiming that all those offensive commenters were part of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" to make leftists look bad... how these are not regular commenters and therefore must be "trolls," or "stooges" for the RNC or BushCo... as they did on the Cheney thread, here.

SO predictable!!!

UDPATE 2, MARCH 15: "KSM" WRITES TO THANK THE HUFFPOST CROWD!!!

And he has lots of reasons to, doesn't he!!!! Here it is, in its unedited glory... (see thread here, before the HuffPost comment surgeons scrub it away as if it never existed...):

=======================================






A CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL

To: HuffingtonPost Loonbats

From: Khaleed Sheikh Mohammed

Date: 15 March 07

Dear Loonbats and Aspiring Dhimmis:

I want to thank you for all your supportive comments on this thread and all the others where you've expressed the view that, compared to the Bush-Cheney-Halliburton-Diebold-PNAC conspiracy cabal, I am a virginal Boy Scout. I can't tell you how much it means to me to know that I have such support from the loonbats who have "bought and paid for and own" your party (http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=16284)

Nevermind those idiot, racist, Islamophobic folks like that infidel bastard JonQuixote, who has documented so extensively the err of your ways - you and I both know that YOU are right: http://jonquixoteworld.blogspot.com/2007/03/huffposters-strike-agai...

Keep ignoring our training manuals in which we're instructed to allege abuse where there has been none, just to garner sympathy from the world's loonbatted media. JQ won't.

I and my friends in al Quada attacked America because, as you say over and over and over, you all deserved it. Your repeated claims that the attacks of 9/11 were all a BushCo conspiracy give us jihadists no shortage of laughter, however, and with each passing day, your conspiracy theories just get whackier.

But hey, being a vicious jihadist, being treated so fairly and courteously here at Gitmo, it is a joy to hear how you berate your own people, and accuse them of far worse things than I've done. Gourmet halal meals, comfy cots, groovy orange jumpsuits, tropical breezes... what a life!!!

They only give me 10 minutes on the Web, and I still have to download the ACLU's arguments on my behalf, you know, so I can get a slick trial lawyer like John Edwards, to whom I will be making a significant campaign contribution.

Have a nice day, you loonbatted dhimmis... and remember...

ALLAHU AKBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your pal,

Khaleed

PS: Send me an audio file of one of Howard Dean's rants, k? I enjoy those OH so much!!!-KSM.

The Iranian Whinery Over "300"

Well isn't that special.

An advisor to the Jabba the Hut of jihad, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is complaining that Hollywood, via the new film "300," is insulting Persian culture.

From The People's Daily Online (China; hat tip DrudgeReport):

Javad Shamqadri, an art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, accused the new movie of being "part of a comprehensive U.S. psychological war aimed at Iranian culture", said the report.

Shamqadri was quoted as saying "following the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Hollywood and cultural authorities in the U.S. initiated studies to figure out how to attack Iranian culture," adding "certainly, the recent movie is a product of such studies."

The movie's effort wound be fruitless, because "values in Iranian culture and the Islamic Revolution are too strongly seated to be damaged by such plans", said the Iranin official.

Gee. I wonder if perhaps Iran's training, justifying, arming and supporting the most vicious, bloodthirsty Islamist murderers in the world, and teaching them that their highest duty is to die while killing civilians, and to fit their children for suicide belts in preparation for bombing pizzarias and malls, might have something to do with the dim view that clear-thinking people have of the Iranian "culture?" Or their "president's" professed desire to cause a global holocaust in order to faciliate the appearance of the "12th mahdi"?


Naw, I'm sure all that has absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing at all.

But hey, here's to Hollywood for putting out a movie that gets this kind of reaction from one of the world's most notorious madmen (instead of continuing its history of appeasing, romanticizing or worshipping other bloodthirsty murderers, such as Castro, Stalin, Mao, Che, et al).

The Democratic candidates for the 2008 Presidential race have summarily picked up their toys and gone home, rather than honoring their agreement to participate in a televised debate that was to be co-hosted by the (evil!) Fox News Channel, in Nevada.

Did they realize that they won't be tossed the softball questions from the swooning MSM that they have traditionally relied upon to make them look good? Or that the accepted premise that no matter what they say, they "mean well" (whereas non-leftists are just, well, "mean"), would be challenged? Or was it that the Dems and their seething, leftarded, loonbatted base decided it would be better for them to take the hit now, rather than to stand up to FNC and be scrutinized in a "fair and balanced" way?

NO, apparently the DNC's stunning "cut and run" was due to pressure and threats from the tin-foil hat nutjobs at MoveOn.org who claim they have "bought and paid for and own"* the DNC? (*see here and here and here). From the speed with which the DNC did an about-face, it's clear that MoveOn.org isn't just blowing smoke --- they do own the DNC, lock, stock and barrel.

If the DNC can't even stand up to MoveOn.org or the Fox News Channel, what possible chance do they have against jihadist butchers and their enablers, who must now be laughing their asses off at the prospect of a Democratic president in 2008?!

Let's keep a close eye on who the jihadists (and their apologists in CAIR, etc.) direct their money, support and endorsements to in the 2008 election circus.


===========================

UDPATE 1, MARCH 12: ONLY A FEW WEEKS AGO, DINGY HARRY REID WAS EXCITED FOR THE DEMS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DEBATE

From The Politico:

In announcing the event, a statement posted by the state Democratic Party has Reid offering high praise of the debate partnership with Fox.

“This is more great news for Nevada,” he said in the statement. “I'm happy FOX News will be a partner for the August presidential debate. Western issues will be a major focus of this debate in particular. With FOX News as our partner, candidates will have an opportunity to not only speak to Nevada voters, but voters across the West who will be instrumental to electing a Democratic president in 2008.”

Ailes lauded the idea, too: “FOX News is proud to be a leader in coverage of the 2008 campaign season and a co-host of this important presidential debate. We look forward to working with the Nevada Democratic Party and the Western Majority Project."

But apparently MoveOn.org demanded that the DNC summarily withdraw from the debate (is this "cut and run" or "strategic redeployment"?), and like good little minions, Harry Reid and the rest of the MoveOn.org-"owned" Democrats snapped to attention and promptly surrendered the Nevada theater of battle to Fox News.

March 14 - Update at HotAir here.

March 14 - Update 2: Apparently the Nevada Democratic Party has been taking lessons in reality-manipulation and -denial from HuffPost (see here and here)... because the link to the press release listed above, in which Reid expresses his happiness at FNC hosting this debate is *poof* GONE!!! Just like it never existed.

The link now only produces a blank page. But if you do a search on the key words highlighted, you'll find plenty of citations to the mystery press release. News flash, Democrats: Just taking down a key link doesn't change the reality that the press release was genuine, and was accurately quoted.


==================================

UPDATE 2, MARCH 12 - THIS JUST IN!!!

"My name is Ayman al Zawahiri, #2 in command of al Qaeda, and I approve this message:

"We heartily endorse John Edwards for President of the United States!!! He is the living embodiment of the spineless, sissified American that we jihadists believe you to be, and with him at the helm of your infidel nation, we know that it'll only be a matter of time before he sees the need to negotiate your surrender to us. After all, Edwards can't even stand up to that infidel Fox News Channel. So please, you Democrats, see that Edwards is your nominee!!!

"Thank you, you infidel pigs, and may Allah (PBUH) strike you down if you don't follow my request!!! (Well, he's going to strike you down anyway, but via this method, you can buy yourselves a little more time)."


==============================================

UPDATE 3, MARCH 12 - THIS JUST IN!!!

SOCIALIST DENNIS KUCINICH SHOWS SPINE, DENOUNCES DNC SISSIES

Whoa!!!

Where did THIS come from!?!? (Hat tip:

DrudgeReport)

Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), one of the most loonbatted, leftist members of Congress, came out today with a HUGE swipe against Edwards, the DNC and by extension, the seething leftards at MoveOn.org. Excerpt:

“If you want to be the President of the United States, you can’t be afraid to deal with people with whom you disagree politically,” Kucinich said. “No one is further removed from Fox’s political philosophy than I am, but fear should not dictate decisions that affect hundreds of millions of Americans and billions of others around the world who are starving for real leadership.”

Kucinich said “the public deserves honest, open, and fair public debate, and the media have a responsibility to demand that candidates come forward now, before the next war vote in Congress, to explain themselves.”

“I’m prepared to discuss the war, health care, trade, or any other issue anytime, anywhere, with any audience, answering any question from any media. And any candidate who won’t shouldn’t be President of the United States.”

WOW!!! And although there's almost no one I disagree with more on pretty much every issue than Kucinich, how refreshing it is to hear any Democrat (even those like him, who are cloaked socialists) come out with this kind of backbone, and Jeffersonian principles (limited as they are, to open public debate; we'll discuss his and others socialists' attempts to subvert our Constitution, economic liberty, property rights, etc., another time).

Kudos, Dennis, from JQWorld.

Misleading Headlines And Hatred-Stoking At HuffPost, Part 1

=========================================

SEE UPDATES AT END

=========================================

MARCH 9: HUFFPOST AGAIN USES MISLEADING, INFLAMMATORY HEADLINES TO STOKE LOONBATTED, HATE-FILLED COMMENTS, WHILE IGNORING RELEVANT STORIES

=========================================

(Continued from here)

Oh well... as if this were the first time. Or the 300th. But it goes right back to my points earlier about how leftarded propaganda, deception and manipulation are part-and-parcel of the HuffPost creed, how those who call them on it are summarily banished, and extraordinary efforts are made to conceal what really goes on there. And how HuffPost's advertisers are probably unaware of any of this.

Case in point --- check out this headline at 4:40pm:


First, the headline isn't true: Roger Ailes was making fun of the Bush administration --- not Obama. Watch the video for yourself, here (h/t HotAir). Ailes did not "joke" about Obama being a terrorist. In fact, Ailes's comments were a begrudging compliment to how well Obama is doing in the polls, and his ability to keep taking away support from Hillary.

Further, if you watch Ailes's comments, you'll see that he took the lamestream media bigwigs to school --- of all things, on the nature of the First Amendment, and the desperate need for diversity in today's newsrooms. And lastly, this isn't even a "news story" - it is sourced not to any news organization, but to a partisan leftist loonbatted blogsite, here.

Second, let's see what else was major "news" as of 4:40pm on Friday, March 9, 2007... that HuffPost admins chose NOT to put up as a blazing headline:

Al Quada Chief In Iraq Reportedly Captured By US-Iraqi Military Forces

Top Democratic Congressman Caught On Video Lashing Out At War Mother; Cited "Liberal Idiots," Claimed Dems Are Using Appropriations Bill To Subversively "End The War" (video here; h/t HotAir)

Bush Approval Ratings In Poll Higher Than Democrat-Led Congress

Unemployment Rate Dips Again; Deficit Shrinks Again

Net Worth Of U.S. Households Skyrockets

Syria Deploys Thousands Of Rockets Along Israeli Border

The above are genuine news stories, that would serve to present a pretty "fair and balanced" portrayal of the important things that are happening, right now.

So, while Queen Arianna claims that her site delivers "news and opinion," and has a fair and consistent "Comments Policy," let's be clear: at this point, HuffPost is nothing more than a leftist, subversive, propaganda-oriented blogsite with double-jointed double-standards to match --- whose headlines are maliciously crafted to be nothing more than red meat to mislead and incite hateful comments from the most "unhinged" (Arianna's terminology; see here), "fringe" elements of the rabid left.

And should anyone dare to point this all out, while keeping within the terms of HuffPost's de facto "Comment Policy" (which allows pretty much anything) well... "Ban them!!!"

I say this out of humorous observation, not out of spite --- for as anyone who knows me knows, I'm one of the nicest guys around. And I'm pretty good at generating accurate, verifiable observations on things, which is why I get to charge the rates I do for my work. ;)

More later!!!

---------------------------------------------

MINI-UPDATE - 5:45pm, MARCH 9: Well isn't that special... now, the screaming headline and the link to the leftarded blogsite are mysteriously *gone!!!* Unreal. Straight out of "1984"... so Orwell-esque.

Let it not be said that JQWorld and other non-leftarded bloggers have no impact... ;)


===============================

UPDATE, MARCH 12: IGNORING THE UNDERLYING DEMOCRAT SCANDAL WHILE ASSAILING THE (EVIL) KARL ROVE

===============================

Ah yes.... standard practice. The "U.S. Attorney Firing Scandal." Most Americans have absolutely no idea what this is about, how it relates to prior instances of attorney firings, and the circumstances surrounding them. Now, let's take a look at the screaming headline across The Huffington Post:

Wow. "Implicates" Rove, eh? Well, let's delve a little into the actual story that this screaming headline links to... (excerpts):

Presidential advisor Karl Rove and at least one other member of the White House political team were urged by the New Mexico Republican party chairman to fire the state's U.S. attorney because of dissatisfaction in part with his failure to indict Democrats in a voter fraud investigation in the battleground election state.

Several Republican activists interviewed for this story said their frustration with Iglesias dated back to before the 2004 election, and his decision to create a task force on voter fraud rather than try to prosecute Democrats who submitted allegedly fraudulent voter registrations.

On Sept. 30, nine donors were summoned to Weh's house for a $5,000-a-plate luncheon with Rove. Among them was Paul Kennedy, a former state Supreme Court justice who had advised state lawmakers on whether to impeach the state treasurer.

Kennedy also represented the accountant who went to the FBI and U.S. attorney's office with the initial evidence implicating Democrats in the courthouse corruption case. He acknowledges that he thought indictments of Democrats would help Wilson's re-election, and possibly hurt Democrats all the way up to Gov. Bill Richardson. But he also insists that's not what was driving his impatience - that it was a matter of the serving the public interest.

"What was I supposed to do?" he asked. "Look the other way when I saw corruption? It had to go the FBI. We gave them a lot of solid evidence."

Ah, yes. Well, it seems this story ACTUALLY centers on allegations of massive Democratic corruption, and why the U.S. attorney in NM didn't prosecute them for it.

But wait... Democrats and leftists engaged in election and voter fraud? Would they do that? Would they pay ineligible people to "register" to vote? Would they commit ballot fraud? Would they tamper with the election process? Would they teach people how to "vote" 2, 3, 9 or 22 times in elections (especially "snowbirds" from the northeast who go to Florida for the winter)?

Nooooooooooooooo... never, ever, ever. For as we've all been taught, Democrats and leftists have absolutely NO history of this, especially not in Chicago, where their motto is most definitely NOT, "Vote early, and vote often!"

Now, re-read the screaming headline across HuffPost. Manipulation and obfuscation at its finest!!!


===========================================

UPDATE, MARCH 13: HUFFPOST USES A FAKE PICTURE TO DEPICT ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO EL SALVADOR

===========================================

OK, this story is sad enough without having to resort to fakery to make your point. But of course, leave it to the HuffPost editors to use fauxtography to further humiliate the Israelis over this embarrassment.

The Israeli ambassador, Tsuriel Raphael, was found in an... ahem, compromising position in El Salvador.

The first question to ask is: Does this really qualify as news, on such a thought-provoking(gag) site like HuffPost? Apparently, yes. They put it up on a thread entitled, Israel Recalls Envoy After He's Found Outside Drunk, Naked And Tied Up.

The second question is: Are there any pictures of Mr. Raphael available regarding this incident? No. There's only one picture of him on Google Images, available here. He is the third from right --- the old guy. And none --- NONE --- of the other major media outlets did anything more with this story than to put up a text-based article about it, because there apparently aren't any easily-accessible "head shots" of Raphael on the Web. Let's see how the (dreaded!) Fox News Channel played the story --- here.
But hey, that's no problem to HuffPost headline writers &editors!!!

Apparently, their thinking went something along the lines of, "Let's just find a picture of a guy who ISN'T Raphael, and use it instead, to deceive our readers, and stoke further Jew-hatred and -ridicule on the threads!!!"
So, instead, they hunted down and used this picture for the thread, which they found as a file named "bondageguy.jpg." (Right-click on image and highlight "Properties" to prove this for yourself).
Notice anything about the picture? Does this guy look happy, or proud, or confident? No... he looks scared, guilty, and vulnerable. Why'd they pick this particular picture... of all the images I'd imagine are available of males who enjoy bondage?

I'm sure it has absolutely nothing with the general sentiment towards Jews, and Israel, on the HuffPost threads, which I have documented time and again. Nope, nothing at all.

Straight From The (W)horse's Mouth

..

As if on cue, Representative David Obey (D-WI) gave JQWorld the kind of validation that only happens once in a... well, pretty much as often as one pays close attention to the deception vs. reality that happens in the subversive leftosphere.

In case you missed it, when confronted by a war mother in the hallway outside his office, Obey unleashed a torrent of insults against her and another passerby that you have to see to believe: video here. Transcription here.

Although references were made to Obey's little tirade in certain (translation: non-leftist) media outlets, largely if not completely missed were two things:

- Obey's rants against "liberal groups"

- Obey's admission that his (deceptively-titled) military spending bill, the “U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Health and Iraq Accountability Act,” is actually a cloaked measure to, by his own admission, "end the war"

The first aspect of Obey's tirade that the MSM missed or deliberately ignored was this:

“The liberal groups are jumping around without knowing what the hell is in the bill,” he (Obey) bellowed.

“You don’t have to cut off funds for an activity that doesn’t exist... (S)o many of these liberal groups don’t adequately inform their members. They don’t have the full story about what we’re trying to do and they wind up not being able to distinguish their friend from their enemy. These people won’t take yes for an answer.”

“When you have misinformation or lack of information put into their head’s(sp), it’s a disservice to them and to me,” Obey said.

Gee --- where have we heard something like this, about how liberals (leftists) generate and rely on propaganda to mislead, misinform and/or incite hatred among their followers (and the general public)?

Oh, right ---

here at JQWorld, barely 2 days ago, in regards to Huffington Post, one of the top gathering spots for American leftists... see "Update 2:"

"(W)hile Queen Arianna claims that her site delivers ‘news and opinion,’ and has a fair and consistent ‘Comments Policy,’ let's be clear: at this point, HuffPost is nothing more than a leftist, subversive, propaganda-oriented blogsite with double-jointed double-standards to match --- whose headlines are maliciously crafted to be nothing more than red meat to mislead and incite hateful comments from the most ‘unhinged,’ ‘fringe’ elements (Arianna's terminology; see here) of the rabid left."

And in case you haven’t seen the Huffington Post's reality-manipulation, denial and obfuscation antics that were caught and documented in detail by yours truly last week, here’s a refresher:

HuffPost Insanity Part 3,243: Regret Over Failed Attempt on Cheney By Taliban

As Predicted: HuffPost's Cheney Thread Must Be A Right-Wing Conspiracy

The HuffPost Spin-Machine, Part 1

JQ Banned - 25th (and last) Time at HuffPost

Now, as to the second aspect of Obey's tirade that the MSM also failed or refused to expose to the American people: his deliberate misnaming and misrepresentation of a bill he has sponsored, which he named “U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Health and Iraq Accountability Act.”

Gee, that sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? "Readiness, health and accountability" --- who could possibly be against any of those things? Well, let’s delve a little further into what Obey said in his tirade about this bill, and what is actually in it (again, transcript here):

He (Obey) also continued to skewer “liberal groups” for failing to inform the members and the public that the war supplemental spending bill contains language aimed at ending the war. “Let me be frank: That kind of encounter (with the war mother, on video) is the kind of frustration this stupid war is causing across the board,” he said in an interview with The Hill. “I’m trying to figure out how to get the votes [for a spending bill] that is going to try to end our participation in that Iraq war…”

Asked about passing a resolution to end the war, Obey screamed that they did not have the votes. “We don’t have the votes to pass [a resolution],” he yelled. “We couldn’t even get the votes to pass a non-binding resolution one week ago. How the hell do you think we’re going to get the votes to cut off the war?”

“You cut off the funding,” an onlooker replied.

“How, if you don’t have the votes?” Obey roared in response. “That bill ends the war! If that isn’t good enough for you, you’re smoking something illegal. You’ve got your facts screwed up.” “We can’t get the votes! Do you see a magic wand in my pocket?” he continued, opening his suit jacket as if to display an empty pocket.

“We don’t have the votes for it. We do have the votes if you guys quit screwing it up.

"We do have the votes to end the legal authority for the war, that’s the same as de-funding it.”

Wow. So, let’s be clear: the “U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Health and Iraq Accountability Act” is actually a bill to give the most rabid anti-war, anti-Bush forces exactly what they want --- the de-funding of the war, our troops, and thus, declaring what is essentially our surrender to the jihadists in Iraq.

Our military commanders, soldiers and intelligence experts have all warned that if we are driven out of Iraq, we will have handed our jihadist enemies a victory that we will end up paying an enormous price for, both in the short- and long-term future --- because we will have taught them that if they just hit America hard enough and long enough, and use our own MSM against us (the daily bloodfest with on-the-hour updates, while not showing 1% of the progress that’s being made), they will emerge from this war victorious.

The pathetically hilarious part of this whole tirade of Obey’s is that it isn’t even the Republicans that he is whining about: it is the “new base” of the Democratic Party --- the seething, rabid, lunatic, jihadist-appeasing fringe that now thinks it has bought, and thus “owns” the DNC (according to MoveOn.org).

“In the last year, grassroots contributors like us gave more than $300 million to the Kerry campaign and the DNC, and proved that the Party doesn't need corporate cash to be competitive.

"Now it's our Party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back.”

- signed, “Eli Pariser, Justin Ruben, and the whole MoveOn PAC team”

Thanks to an observant person with a video camera, Obey was caught not only expressing his rage at this “new base” --- which actually believes it now "owns" the DNC --- and the way it has been manipulating information and using propaganda against him, but also, admitting what is really in his bill.

All in all, I’d say it was a hell of a day’s work.


==========================================

UPDATE: LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL EDITORIAL NAILS THE "NEW BASE" OF THE DNC

Wow.. seems reason might be eeking out for an appearance in the nation's newspapers... if the Review-Journal editorial board is any indication (let's hope!) - read entire editorial here. Excerpts:

Hard-core liberals can't stand the Fox News Channel. Passing a television that's tuned to the conservative favorite forces many of them to close their eyes, cover their ears and scream, "La la la la la la la la la!" Then they dash to their computers and fire off 2,500 e-mails condemning the outlet, none of which are ever read...

But the socialist, Web-addicted wing of the Democratic Party was apoplectic. The prospect of having to watch Fox News to see their own candidates would have been torture in itself. So they set the blogosphere aflame with efforts to kill the broadcast arrangement, or at least have all the candidates pull out of the event. Before Friday, the opportunistic John Edwards was the only candidate to jump on that bandwagon...

The approach of outfits such as MoveOn.org is so juvenile it's laughable...

WELL!!! Seems at least ONE of America's newspaper editorial boards hasn't been guzzling the Seething Leftarded Kook-Ade™ that constitutes a large portion of the daily dietary requirements for the rest of the MSM.


==========================================

UPDATE 2: MOONBAT BRIG. GENERAL OBEY USES PLANTED UNTRUTHS TO SEAL LEAKS COMING OUT OF DNC

Maybe Rep. Obey is looking for a second, post-Congressional career as a "plumber?" Hat tip to Michelle Malkin's HotAir, from the Washington Post:

p>What do House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) and Richard Nixon have in common? They hate leakers.

So Obey, trying to stop colleagues' leaks about the Democrats' controversial Iraq war funding strategy, tried to trap the leakers.

"Three days ago, I gave several members of our caucus false information on purpose, because I wanted to see who the hell was leaking that information," Obey told National Journal. "So these people aren't being invited to the meetings anymore."

Asked who the suspects were, Obey spokeswoman Kirsten Brost said she had asked Obey but "he told me not to leak that information."

Committee member James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), for one, said he does not believe he is a suspect. "I may leak, but I don't leak inaccurate information," Moran told our colleague Michael Shear.

Wow!!! And these are senior, experienced Democratic Congressmen.

Wonder what this all portends for Speaker Pelosi's appointment of William ("I don't know how that $90,000 in marked bills ended up in my freezer") Jefferson to the Houses's Homeland Security Committee? Or Patrick "Leaky" Leahy's current gig as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee?

Absolutely nothing, I'm sure.

Leftist Hypocrisy Re Ann Coulter --- And The MSM's Deafening Silence

SEE UPDATES AT END.

====================================================

As noted here, I came out immediately and vehemently against Ann Coulter's use of the word "faggot" to describe John Edwards at the recent CPAC conference --- and I maintain that stance 100%.

Furthermore, I assigned a substantial portion of the blame for the long-term damage that will befall conservatives to the CPAC executive(s) who invited her to speak there, and to the audience who applauded her incalculably stupid statement, either begrudgingly or enthusiastically. I will be proven right. In fact, I already am.

TODAY, however, CNSNews uber-sleuth Patrick Goodenough has documented many of the innumerable times that leftists (whether standard-issue, or escapees from mental institutions) have used the word "faggot" --- including (a) the blogger who recently resigned from John Edwards's campaign (over his clear wish that she wouldn't), and (b) GLAAD's double-jointed double-standard on some who use the word, when one offender turned out to be a womanizing rap star who also happens to sing about females being "bitches," "ho's," etc.

This one I won't excerpt. Read it all HERE.

Then think to yourself: Why the hell isn't the mainstream media putting Coulter's comment into context --- while not excusing it in any way --- by pointing out this glaring hypocrisy of those on the left who now have their collective panties in a bunch over how "hateful" and "bigoted" they claim that Coulter is, and by extension, conservatives are... while using the exact same hateful, bigoted epithet themselves, with reckless abandon?

The answer is glaringly obvious: The MSM would rather shield these groups and individuals, pretend that their use of the word "faggot" just doesn't matter, and that the general public --- who saw the MSM play, replay, and re-replay the Coulter clip hundreds of times in recent days --- has no right to expect them to use their vast resources to point this all out.

By extension, it is revelations such as those provided by Goodenough that give substance to the charge that the MSM is now, and has been for some time, essentially at war with reason, context, and accountability. And this abdication of responsibility, I would argue, also lies at the root of the fact that so many Americans have such little knowledge of world affairs, and that they are unable to put what little knowledge they do have into a rational context.

One indication as to the reason for this abdication was revealed in a USA Today article this week, More Reporters Embrace An Advocacy Role, that documented how "activist journalism" is taking over today's newsrooms --- newsrooms which, according to survey after survey, are overwhelmingly dominated by left-of-center reporters and editors. Excerpt:

The "social journalism" that made Oprah Winfrey an international fairy godmother is the new rage in network and cable news, and it's expanding to other media... (I)ncreasingly, journalists and talk-show hosts want to "own" a niche issue or problem, find ways to solve it and be associated with making this world a better place...

At NBC, Today news anchor Ann Curry has carved out a niche as a humanitarian reporter for her segments on starvation in Darfur, a region of the Sudan she has visited twice since March 2006. "Our job is to give voice to people who have no voice. I think we've forgotten that in recent years."

Oh, really, Ann? Funny, last time I looked up the definition of "journalist," that description wasn't in there. Here's how Merriam-Webster defines "journalism:"

(1)(a) the collection and editing of news for presentation through the media; (b) the public press; (c) an academic study concerned with the collection and editing of news or the management of a news medium

(2)(a) writing designed for publication in a newspaper or magazine; (b) writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation; (c) writing designed to appeal to current popular taste or public interest* (*this definition is pure b-s, but I'll leave it alone)

What Curry (and USA Today) describes is actually "political (or social) activism." And if she and her fellow travelers want to "give voice" to certain segments of society, then let her, and them, label their work as such --- and stop disguising it as "news," or "journalism," particularly when such an incendiary topic as the use of the word "faggot" in public settings is concerned.

In this regard, the MSM deserves an "F" in "Journalism 101," for its failure (if not its willful abdication of its responsibility) to devote the bare minimum of resources to putting the whole Coulter-comment controversy into a reasonable context, instead of fueling and feeding the fire of demagoguery-laced hysteria that has surrounded her comments ever since.

JQ Banned - 25th (and last) Time at HuffPost

.

=========================================

SEE UPDATES AT END!!!

=========================================

Given my history with Huffington Post, we all knew it was only a matter of time before I reached that magical 25th time of being banned by their administrators, for voicing opinions that challenged (or demolished) the most loonbatted propaganda expressed by the site's follwers. And each time after being "banned," I'd come back with some variation of the notorious "JonQuixote" login; "JQNew," "JQNew2," "JQsInDaHouse," and so forth.
(Hilariously, just in the past few days, HuffPosters started claiming that other users were me --- because these brave souls dared to confront them on their hysterical, loonbatted, orgasmic state over the Libby verdict, and how the supposed "outing" of a "covert" CIA agent is not even being pursued. Yet they again (as always) missed the fact that if it doesn't have "JQ" somewhere in the login, it just ain't me; as I've explained time and again, I want credit for every word I write.)

But then, this morning, while in the midst of yet another back-and-forth with one of HuffPost's most notorious, leftarded propagandists --- "Thalia" (whom those in the know refer to as "Thaliar") --- I got the dreaded "screen of death," as shown below:

I realize the vast majority of HuffTards have never seen one of these screens, no matter how foul their language, no matter how many death threats they issue to those who disagree with them (more on this later), no matter how many other ways they violate the supposed "Comments Policy." For them, let me clarify what this screen says:

"Sorry, your account has been banned from commenting."

The final banning occurred on this thread --- and ironically, the last post there was from Thaliar (10:27am), indicating her belief that she'd "run me off," because I didn't respond to her latest loonbatted propaganda on this page or the previous pages.

Well, Thaliar, I couldn't respond --- thanks to you and your little minions who keep sending protest emails to Queen Arianna; "Make him THTOP!!! JonQ's being MMMEEAAANNN to me!!! He's demolishing the lies, propaganda and myths that we keep putting up!!! If you don't BAN HIM, I'll SCREEEEEAAAMMMM!!!!"

So, after 24 previous times of keeping posting, I've had a good run. I've proved my points, particlarly regarding the hypocritical double-standards of HuffPost's "Comments Policy," and how far it will go to distort reality to keep the world from seeing the true nature of the "new base" of the Democratic Party --- the seething, rabid, hateful, lying, hypocritical, loonbatted left:

HuffPost Insanity Part 3,243: Regret Over Failed Attempt on Cheney ByTaliban

As Predicted: HuffPost's Cheney Thread Must Be A Right-Wing Conspiracy

The HuffPost Spin-Machine, Part 1

More later, once I stop laughing my ass off... :)

========================================

Will the laughs ever stop today!?

Now, in typical leftarded fashion, the HuffTardsVille servers reversed the order of my farewell posts to the loonbats.... see my 12:51p and my 12:35 posts, here.

And, you'll note, this was after a nearly 40-minute delay on new postings on the thread from 11:58am ("kevinofburbank," a Junior HuffTard, 4th Class) to my 12:35pm post --- so apparently, the HuffPost servers were going really screwy (reflective of the cognitive functions of about 70% of the users, I guess!).

Maybe in an hour or two I'll be able to stop laughing at all this... !!!


=================================

UPDATE 1, MARCH 9: HUFFPOST CHANGES COMMENTS POLICY 1 DAY AFTER BANNING JQ

=================================

Well isn't that sweet. For the first time since it began to "Deliver News and Opinion since May 2005," HuffPost admins have changed their "Comments" system --- 24 hours after banning the JQ-man. Isn't that conveeeeennnniiiieeeennnttt!!!!???

Check this out: Now, instead of just having a "Comments" link next to each story thread, you now have to go through two steps to get to comments - first, you click on a "Read & Post Comments" link, then, you get to a screen that says:

"While the Huffington Post encourages user comments on news stories, these comments are the personal opinions of the individuals posting them and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Huffington Post. We do not generate, solicit, or moderate user comments, but reserve the right to remove postings as we see fit."

I see. Well, let's see how far they don't go to "solicit" comments on "news" stories it posts --- check out the blazing, misleading headlines that HuffPost employs, here.

Will the hilariousness of all this ever end? Doubtful.

UPDATE, MARCH 19, 2007: JONQ MAKES A CURTAIN CALL ON 4TH ANNIVERSARY OF IRAQ INVASION

Well, given the loonbattery that occurred up on the Mall over the weekend (which was partially offset by the Gathering of Eagles), this can't be all that unexpected. After perusing 26 pages of hate, blather and propaganda, I decided to log in from a secret undisclosed location and have my say. Here goes, on this thread (had to divide into two parts to accomodate the 350-word-limit):

I look forward to seeing the thoughtful, intelligible responses to what has to be one of my most pointed posts ever, all based on facts. :)

God bless our troops. God bless America. God damn the jihadist maniacs who brought us to this point

John Edwards, Undercover Hypocrite, Part 2

.

Like the rest of the Leftist Mega-Millionaire Club, John Edwards is
most comfortable when he's scolding America over its freedoms, its property rights, and the unlimited opportunity that is still available to our citizens and those that our country welcomes from around the world, many of whom still sacrifice everything to make it to our shores.

And don't get me started on his and his allies' daily assault on the concept of limited, constitutional government that our Founders struggled to create, and which they have been busy dismantling over the last hundred years.)

But as I documented here, and others have documented far more extensively than I, Edwards is also a colossal hypocrite, for violating the very ethos he claims we should all live according to, then scolding us for alleged moral shortcomings that the facts demonstate are completely untrue, yet which he himself exemplifies.

From now on, though, I will refer to him as an "undercover" hypocrite, because the MSM simply will not address his hypocrisy, least of all in a substantive and persistent manner -- which is exactly why he's able to get away with the shenanigans he does.

Then, along comes this:

In an interview with the Web site Beliefnet.com, (Edwards) said Jesus would be most upset with the selfishness of Americans...

"I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs," Edwards told the site. "I think he would be appalled, actually."

This, from a man who just built himself a mega-mansion, who has made tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars by living as a parasitical ambulance-chasing demagogue, made possible by the very free-enterprise system that he decries, and who has the gall to claim that we are living in "two Americas."

What Edwards and the MSM refuse to acknowledge --- and the evasion which their propaganda is built upon --- is the fact that America is singularly the most generous nation in the world, and has helped to save, extend and enhance the lives of more people than any other nation in history.

But if the people to whom Edwards speaks are wholly unaware of this fact, in no small part thanks to the educational establishment which so slavishly supports the Democrats, and who protect their stranglehold over our schools, then how will they ever know the truth?

(JQ holds up a mirror): You. Yes, you.

Keep an eye on this blog, because in the near future, I will be posting stats that will be demolishing America-bashing propaganda such as that which Edwards spews, once and for all. Or, you can hunt them down yourself --- some good places to start are The Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute and the Young Americas Foundation.

Then get it out to the newspapers, TV stations and Internet sites.

It's up to us to get the word out --- because the MSM is not going to initiate it on its own. They are far, far too enamored with the Breck girl to ever question or expose him in a serious way, unless they are compelled to by their readers and viewers.


======================================

UPDATE, MARCH 15: RUSH EXPOSES BRECK GIRL IN ALL HER (NON)GLORY...

Classic Rush... check this out (from March 14):

(Commenting on USA Today: “Can Edwards Win With An Us vs. Them Pitch?”)

"Basically it’s populism, and his 'challenge,' it says here, is to convince voters in primaries and cauci that he is a "populist who would put their interests above those of big corporations and big government." The problem is that a Drake University political science professor points out that this populist message hasn't worked since Jimmy Carter tried it in 1976. It basically hasn't worked in 30 years.

"The Breck Girl is also exasperated by the focus on his house. Says, 'Look, I've lived in every size house there is, including two room houses. It's what's inside a house that counts, not what's on the outside.' The Breck Girl is getting sensitive to this. The Breck Girl is also going 'carbon neutral.' He's pledged to run a carbon neutral campaign that would offset any contributions that he makes to global warming. He often travels in a private jet and so forth, so he's going the carbon route, the offset.

And as if that wasn't enough... check this out... it's as I've said here over and over... John Edwards is all about image, which is exactly what helped him to "earn" tens of millions of dolllars as a slick trial lawyer (again, hat tip Rush)...

The HuffPost Spin-Machine, Part 2

Fresh on the heels of my detailed blogging on the HuffPost Spin Machine Part 1, now comes this CLASSIC!!!

At 4:02pm today, HuffPost put up a new thread, entitled:

Cheney Diagnosed With Blood Clot After "Minor Discomfort" In Calf

Shortly thereafter, I followed this thread to see what were posted for comments... and yet there were none. I checked back again at 4:17pm, and again, there were NO comments!!!

THEN, at 4:31pm, I checked back again, and without a SINGLE comment being posted, VOILA!!! ---

"Comments for this post are now closed"

Daaaaammmnnnnn.... I guess Queen Arianna's tech minions really ARE pre-screening anything that will embarrass them anymore, by exposing to the world just how far into seething, hate-filled outer space that the leftarded lunatics (lovingly referred to as "HuffTards") really are.

What's that they say about "sunlight being the best disinfectant?"

Well, that or caffeine-juiced techies who can keep pre-screening and deleting one hateful comment after another as they come across the HuffPost wires, before they can be seen by the world for what they really are.

Wow!!! Was the Kremlin or the Politburo ever this busy --- or hilarious!?
