Hedges has freinds in a lot of interesting places. Are his freinds also the freinds of America? Freedom?

I doubt it.

Anyone else notice where his friends live… I say we take a look at his address book and add a few of them to our target list.

Yeah, yeah…

Another of the gutless Lefty crowd who also SWORE they were going to leave America if Bush got re-elected. Bush got re-elected but all those hard lefty Democrats and Hollyweird types forgot their promise! Very disappointing!
.
I had hoped that just FOR ONCE, these Lefties would be men and women of their word, but no such luck! This is more such BS. This Times-twerp is another gutless Lefty blowhard who doesn’t have the guts to really do such a pedestrian, plebeian thing as major civil disobedience and risk jail time for a principle.

Well, I won’t pay my taxes if any of my money pays Durbin’s Obama’s and/or Rich Daley’s salaries. I won’t pay my taxes if any of my money goes to the Chicago public schools run by scumbag democrats in this blue state where if you send your children there they’ll end up on Jerry Springer, or to minority set asides that promote underqualified candidates to be my bosses because the color of their skin.

See? I have beefs too.

Isn’t this the same guy who delivered a commencement address that was cut short because the crowd almost rioted against hearing his anti-American crap?

Sydney Carton on November 23, 2007 at 2:50 PM

That’s the guy. I remember almost working my fingers to the bone trying to get through to Hugh Hewitt’s show the day he played that speech and dissected his vituperation on the air. It was refreshing to hear some students and audience members put this moron Hedges in his place.

What a poseur.

If he were serious, he’d do the self-immolation thing with the gasoline and… some sparklers! Yeah!

(That we he could get into the papers.)

He can’t write his propaganda from a jail cell, can he? I think this is win-win.

Why not? Mumia has been doing it for 15+ years. Hell, he even does a radio show from behind bars.

Heh, he’s hedging his bets in case we lose the WOT! Nothing says woosified liberal like this moonbat, disgusting little pansy surrender-monkey turd!

But an attack on Iran–which appears increasingly likely before the coming presidential election–will unleash a regional conflict of catastrophic proportions.

Defending Poland also unleashed a regional conflict of catastrophic proportions, but Great Britain and France made the right choice in 1939.

I’m not paying my taxes if we end up with Universal Healthcare. The magic number is 12 million. Just like illegal immigration, if 12 million people do it, its broken and new laws have to be made.

This is the jackass that directly compares evangelical Christians to Nazis and suggests the solution is to make such groups illegal and exempt them from 1st amendment protections.

Meanwhile, he’s willing to face jail time to protect an Iranian regime of — as Hitchens pointed out brilliantly — actual theocrats!

This is what a Harvard education does for you.

Gotta luv the nuveo-rich commies. What he said takes cosmetic manhood. It’s sooooooooo fun to be a solcialist when you are rich. Everyone should have and legal team and the means to pay them.

They had this at the bottom of that first link:

The way I see it, they owe me 10 bucks for wasting 2 minutes of my time on that drivel.

All of these a$$holes saying they won’t pay their taxes makes me laugh. Haven’t they heard of witholding? Some percentage of them may be self-employed or independant contractors, but most of them are paying their taxes all year long. Maybe they’ll ~~request~~ demand a refund from the IRS because of the war. Lots of luck.
