We get mail (4.00 / 5)

First of all, taking Geo-Political or Foreign Policy advice from a Frenchman is akin to taking Social Humanism advice from Stalin.  You people have always been:  A. Cowards  B.  Out of your league.

The US won the Iraq War and will likely destroy the Taliban.  We will have forward deployment bases, housing our advanced weaponry in Iraq and Afghanistan for centuries.  If these are all proxy wars against Russia and it's crazy friends all over the world, I would call our moves (Bush's Moves) genius.

BTW, instead of saying "Neo Con" why not just, be a man, and say what you want to say, "Jew."

Cheers,

Aaron

Whoa indeed (4.00 / 2)
The email subject line was: "your inane diary".

At least the language is correct and coherent.

Re: We get mail (4.00 / 2)
Speaking of which, this may only apply to America, but is it possible that the election process itself that we put people through to get in office actually chooses for the most mentally ill individual, people with greed as their major motivator?  Do we need a National Shrink to come on Countdown once a week and give us a quick reading of the week's people/events from a "craziness" prospective?

We may be under the mistaken impression that the entire process of current events represents some form of sanity.

Does ET have a resident shrink?

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.

Re: We get mail (4.00 / 2)
This is fake.  Somebody from dKos is just jerking your chain.  The spelling isn't nearly poor enough to be that of an authentic winger.

Re: We get mail (none / 1)
"social humanism", yea you might have a point. No real winger would have heard of humanism, let alone type it without exploding.

Re: We get mail (none / 1)
Not true, but any serious winger would've known it's called "secular humanism".

Das thing is the guy is probably not a winger, and may even be a democrat.

Oh, there are neocons who can spell. (4.00 / 2)
Some of them can even write fairly well. Its the critical reasoning skills where there seems to be a gap or two.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

No, it's not fake. This is a college student (or recent grad).

Super common, if you were French in the US in 2002-04, you got this a lot.

Re: We get mail (4.00 / 4)
Fukuyama, that well-known jewish surname.

But what is this American obsession with religious affiliation ? I only found out that the UK tory politician Michael howard was jewish about 18 months ago depsite his having been around for years. Given his background as a transylvanian emigre my only reaction was to wonder if human blood was kosher.

As long as he says the right words when he's about to sink the fangs in, it is.

OTOH, if you want to fend him off, don't try the crucifix.

JaP quotes :
You people have always been:  A. Cowards  B.  Out of your league.

I can't really see how "Frenchmen" - or any other people for that matter - can be both cowards and out of their league. I mean, if they are cowards, they run no risk of being out of their league. Right ?

This goes to prove that your correspondent is : A. Out of his league. And there is no need for a B.

Re: We get mail (4.00 / 5)
The funny thing is the guy is clearly engaging in baiting, calling Jerome basically an anti-semite not man enough to be blunt enough so as to be obvious in that anti-semitism, all the while engaging in some rather bigoted rhetoric of his own.

Take the bait, you're a racist. Leave the bait alone, and you let him get away with his own racism.

Common with these clowns. You see this sort of maneouvre often among the keyboard commando corps; it is some sort of passive-agreesive flanking maneouvre.

This sort of bad faith is a typically American rhetorical game.

Re: We get mail (4.00 / 3)
So the guy takes umbrage at imaginary antisemitic dog whistles, all the while starting off his e-mail with an anti-French slur. And a Stalin reference thrown in for good measure. Heh.
