For the entertainment value, of course. You can't beat it with a stick, or even a baseball bat that has "COMMON SENSE" painted down the barrel that needs to be used on Charles Johnson's head in the very, very, very near future.
Just look below the cut at this latest bout of lgf idiocy and try not to laugh.
Daily Kos Takes the Jihadi Line
Those Kooky Kos Kidz are convinced that the "rightwing machine" is unjustly smearing Newsweek magazine, and they come out strongly in favor of taking the word of released jihadis whenever they complain of mistreatment: Daily Kos :: The Newsweek Backtrack: Did the Right Win a Game of Chicken?
Of course, it would be too much to expect the Kidz to educate themselves when they can just blame all the world's ills on America and invent fantasies about monolithic "rightwing machines," but an Al Qaeda Training Manual specifically instructs jihadis how to manipulate useful idiots like the Kidz--and it obviously works
Couple of things:
- Uhm, numbnuts, if the prisoners being released are actually jihadis and al-Qaida members, don't you, uhm, kinda sorta think that they wouldn't be released? Did it ever cross your mind that they might be kinda sorta, uhm, innocent? I mean, fuck. You're fucking stupid.
- If all of these release prisoners are lying about the treatment we gave them, how come all of their stories seem so similar? No matter what country they were apprehended in and where they were held?
- And, before I forget to mention it, DID YOU HAPPEN TO SEE THOSE ABU-GHRAIB PHOTOS, YOU FUCKING MORON?!
Jesus fucking Christ on a goddamn fucking pogostick. If people this fucking stupid aren't weeded out by natural selection soon, I'm going to become a creationist.
