European Tribune - Comments

Thank you | 11 comments (11 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I'm so sorry to hear of all of this, DD, but, as Helen said, at least it turned into a sorta-kinda-good thing. As always, no place is free of assholes. The best we can do, depending on the situation, is ignore them or shout them down. And, with those two strategies, I think we're getting better. Two steps forward and all that....

I just love the fact that Hellenic Nationalist apparently so wants a revolution in, and has so much pride in, his fatherland that he, clearly being the genuine article, lives in New York -- the logical starting point for a revolution in Europe, of course.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Maybe he is a wannabe Greek Ahmed Chalabi?...

Re: Thank you (none / 1)

Perhaps, but the problem then becomes one of the Republicans only paying attention to New York when attending fundraisers on the Upper-East Side or exploiting 9/11. Take those away, and it's just a city of twenty million liberals.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I skimmed through some of his stuff a while back when DD mentioned him and... no. He has a hard time deciding which he hates more, the Turks or the 'Judeo-West'. Generally positively disposed to other Muslims as long as they're anti-American and not immigrants.
