Geez, Clay. I thought we were all grownups here. It was a joke, man. Grow a freakin’ humor bone, bro. Want proof that I can have a laugh at my own expense?

Did I mention that I have all my hair?
Claypigeon on April 11, 2008 at 11:27 PM

I don’t. I could be an understudy for Blue Man Group. Get it? Humor.

You posted this great list of MKH-catching qualifications and it ends with “Call me MKH.” I thought the missing comma was funny because it changed the whole meaning.

As for my sister, I have one – my only sibling in all the world. She’s disabled and in a nursing home. Feel better about yourself, pigeon?

I must have F’ed you sister or something… I didn’t know I was writing for “linguo” the grammar douche. Eat me.

Bravo! Well said.

But here is something that Carter perhaps has not considered. Hamas is a terrorist organization that is actively engaged in terrorist acts against Israel. Not only that, the organization has no interest in a peaceful solution. They have no interest in negotiation with Israel. They are not interested in a two-state solution. What they want is the total destruction of Israel.

So what is there to discuss?

Mr Carter, like most Democrats, does not understand that you cannot negotiate with evil, nor can you negotiate with fanatics. That was proven conclusively in 1938, when British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain tried to negotiate with Hitler-selling out Czechoslovakia in the process. The lesson still applies.

Did we negotiate with the former Soviet Union? Yes, we did, but there was a difference. The Soviet Union, whatever its faults, was not run by fanatics, at least after Stalin died. They knew that if they went to war with the US, everybody would be destroyed, so they remained rational. We can, in fact, meet and negotiate with adversaries, but not if they are fanatics like Hamas who have no interest in negotiation or compromise. Rationality is not a quality that applies to people like Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaida. They don’t care if they die.

For a known fool like Jimmy Carter to go to Syria and meet with Hamas only gives legitimacy to a terrorist organization. It goes against the wishes of the State Department, which is the agency responsible for our foreign relations. Carter of course, is no supporter of Israel. He is a foolish renegade who can only exacerbate an already bad situation. Beware of any “breakthrough” that he may announce. Of course, he has no authority to act in Bush’s name, but he could come back and apply public pressure on the administration.

It would be nice if leading Democrats would intervene and tell Carter to stay at home. Barack Obama, when asked what he thought of Carter’s trip, refused to criticize the former president-possibly since he was on the verge of getting Carter’s endorsement. For Democrats to back the administration’s prerogatives would be the responsible thing to do. That’s why they won’t rein Mr Carter in.

To sum up this fiasco in progress, the policy of not negotiating with terrorists is the proper one, and not just on moral grounds. In the end, it is a fool’s errand.

Maybe because not all Jewish voters are not taking the ‘we are afraid to talk to terrorists’ right wing hardline (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/971877.html), or maybe because they don’t all think that the current US/Israeli policy is terrific?

It’s tendentious to characterize the “right wing” position as being “afraid” to talk to terrorists. More accurately, it’s considered counterproductive. You become an enabler of terrorism by sitting down with them and asking them what they want after they kill a bunch of women and children. Their quite reasonable conclusion is blowing stuff up is a way to get you to the table, which leads to more terrorism in the future. It’s pretty simple psychology, actually. And it is a shameless form of projection to claim that those who would fight terrorists are the fearful ones as opposed to those pusillanimous souls like Jimmy Carter who would instead pay them off. By this standard, the Vichy French were the heroes of World War II, because they were not “afraid” to play ball with unsavory elements. Somehow History doesn’t see it that way.

Also, your use of the phrase “right wing” is unclear. Aren’t the terrorists the classic “right wingers” of the balmy liberal imagination? You know — racist, sexist, racist, anti-gay and all that? How is it that men who want to fight and not negotiate with the racist, sexist, segregationist, homophobic regressive force that is Radical Islam are now also “right wingers”?

Another bit of sleight-of-hand in your comment is that the Jews don’t think the US/Israeli is terrific. That’s a straw man. No one said that the policy is or has to be “terrific.” The mystery is why liberal Jews over a policy that is not “terrific” would prefer a policy that is, to coin a phrase, “terrorific.” You are drawing an equivalence between a policy that is “not terrific” and a policy that seeks to give material rewards to an organization whose charter calls for the extermination of all the Jews in Israel.

Further, MKH could not score a 37 in bowling because she is a righty and Breakup Obama is a lefty. When a lefty stands on the right side of the lane they just give themselves more room to push (look at his release) the ball to the left gutter.

MKH bowled every shot from the center. But her ball found the groove established by the majority of previous bowlers that helped guide her intentional attempts to screw up to the target anyway.

Bowl em over MKH-come on why do you think they call all of the female commentators “Foxy Ladies”.

MKH’s makeup in this interview

Did she have a date after this show?

Yeah because most of them are Socialist asshats who cannot recognize an existential threat if it bit them on the gonads.

Because despite claiming to be progressive, they are in fact reactionary. They cling to their grandparents turn of the century viewpoints politically even though those positions no longer suit them or the real world. You would think they are all factory workers and are fighting for justice in the workplace. I don’t know if it is a Jewish thing but the behavior of the jews in Vienna before the second world war was very similar. Many looked the other way or even supported the nazis
right up until they were banging down their owns doors. The family of the philosopher Wittgenstein were denying the evil of the nazis right up until some were arrested and the others had to flee.

Call me MKH!!

Claypigeon on April 11, 2008 at 8:42 PM

QuestionL Why would she call you MKH when she’s already called MKH? (Unless, of course, you meant “Call me, [comma] MKH.” Big difference there, Clay, as evidenced here.)

But I digress.

I couldn’t help thinking that MKH’s makeup in this interview made her look a little like post-island Kate on “Lost.” (Not that we’ve ever seen MKH all grimy, fresh out of a plane crash, on a deserted island, in a tank top, running from black smoke monsters and creepy Others…)

5′8″ – 40
endomorphic
not particularly bright, but loyal
thin, untrainable brown hair
blue eyes

CONSERVATIVE!

ROFL… Want me to set you up with my sister?

A heartbeat, loyal and conservative. Hell, you can date my sister!

Impressive. Well, I can’t bowl however I can thread a dime from 40 yards away with an un-zeroed M4 Carbine. I’m pretty sure I can take out all those pins… (Just not with a bowling ball)

;-)

I don’t bowl however I am willing to learn. Would they send me some place special?

Did I mention that I have all my hair?

Claypigeon on April 11, 2008 at 11:27 PM

I would suggest you first take up the bowling lessons and THEN try to contact MKH:

Hilts on April 11, 2008 at 10:36 PM

The majority of Jews who actually think of themselves as Jewish (not secular humanist citizens of the world types) I doubt will vote for Obama. Certainly the Orthodox community will not.

Hilts on April 11, 2008 at 10:40 PM

So I am confused. Are the majority of Jews “socialist ass****”, or do these jews not count and we should only count the “Jews who actually think of themselves as Jewish”

Is there such a thing as a Jew who counts him/herself is a Jew but doesn’t think of him/herself as Jewish?

How much do you bowl for? That’s an important criteria as well!

Not really sure how she’s an expert on the Jewish vote. And actually she isn’t because she’s wrong. Actually, as someone who knows just a tad about my community, I can safely (and sadly) say that Jews continue to support Obama in large numbers, as I’ve documented repeatedly on my site. And despite her ill-informed claim, this won’t change that.
