I spent considerable time last night and today at Red State. I registered there this morning and just managed to get out alive.
Found some tidbits you all might find amusing. The first one was entitled "You Are Entering a Republican Zone." It was really pretty scary, Here are a few tidbits.
"If you are coming here from Daily Kos, the first one you'll need to know about is no profanity."
"Until you've been around here a while and have established some creds as a serious participant, don't get snarky. Snarky Democrats have a short half-life in these parts, especially if they are new to the community."
"Do not assume you can win an argument with Known Facts. Many things that Kossacks consider to be Known Facts are considered to be Known Lies on this side of The Big Ditch. Reciting Known Facts is another quick way to meet the bouncer. Ordinary facts are welcome, but Known Facts are considered to be evidence of hostile intent. 'Bush lied' is an example of a Known Fact."
"If you haul out a wonderful new Democratic Party talking point with which to slay us, and it gets 'troll' rated, it probably means we've already heard that one, beaten it to death, and don't want to talk about it anymore."
Now here's one from last night about Karl Rove.
"It's for real, they just didn't expect this tonight, who did? While Lawrence O'Donnel revealed the source he was obviously irritated with the entire process of journalist being compromised and just "went off" and spilled the beans, in a manner that had the whole table falling out of their chairs.
Robert Novak, Matthew Cooper and Judith Miller will back up the claim along with Lawrence O'Donnel. O'Donnel is being Subpenaed as we speak.
In front of a Grand Jury, Rove is gone. I can't believe he made such a dumb mistake. No amount of paperwork is going to override the testimony of those 4 in the eyes of a Grand Jury, big surprise.
The administration must preparing for tomorrows onslaught as the Dem's are going to be all over this in an attempt to push Bush about his ethics. I like to see if there is indeed anyway out of this that is viable."
This one is from the guy who posted the diary when he finds out Kos had it first:
"posted at 4:43 PDT. on dkos, and I got it at 8:19 EST. That means they beat me by 36 minutes? I can't imagine it was showing in a market sooner than the one I saw it in, but maybe. Now I feel cheated, LOL. Maybe I am reading the times wrong, (I hope)."
"But, a new name has surfaced this morning that, supposedly will be included for additonal subpena and questioning, and that name is Cheney.
The info to me is so fragmented right now I can't make heads or tails out it, just some reaching inferences. So take what I write with a grain of salt, until we see a true reaction from both sides."
"I not only don't do this, I have never done this.
But here it is;
"Karl Rove will be indicted late this, or early next week."
I'm trusting a source. So either I am made a into an overzealous horses a**, or..., I have good sources and may be more trusted to get these things right."
And for the grand finale, Loving Our Country With Honesty, Why are Liberals Often Accused of Being Unpatriotic. More snips.
The diary basically contends that liberals talk about all that is wrong with our country, whereas conservatives concentrate on what is right without our country, such as:
"We helped defeat the aggressors in World War I. We turned the tide of the battle and saved the world from the imperialism of the Nazis, Fascists and Japanese in World War II. We recognized the evil and oppression of communism, and consistently fought for the freedom of people all over the world in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. We stepped in to aid the Bosnians who were facing an ethnic cleansing, we freed Afghanistan from the iron grip of the Taliban, we liberated the Iraqis from the fear of Saddam and his maniacal sons, and we are the benevolent equivalent of Santa Claus for the whole world - providing aid to regions far and near - hostile or friendly."
That's it guys. I couldn't stay any longer. BTW, all typos are the original poster's.
