McCain: Hey, how about a Nuremberg trial for Bin Laden?
posted at 8:33 pm on July 25, 2008 by Allahpundit
Have we reached the circle-the-wagons stage of the campaign or can I get away with another jab at Maverick after the timetable post for him stupidly agreeing in substance with one of Obama’s stupid ideas? As atonement before we get to the critique, here’s a link to the transcript of McCain’s “audacity of hopelessness” speech to vets today in Denver, righteously laying out Barry O for his knee-jerk defeatism on the surge. There’s not much there that hasn’t been said over the past few weeks, but as a summation you can do worse.
Now, to Nuremberg:
Sen. John McCain on Friday said as president he would consider bringing Osama bin Laden to justice through a Nuremberg-like international trial.
He told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, “We have various options. The Nuremberg Trials are certainly an example of the kind of tribunal that we could move forward with. I don’t think we’d have any difficulty in devising an international — internationally supported mechanism that would mete out justice. There’s no problem there.”
McCain said it would be a “good thing to reveal to the world the enormity of this guy’s crimes, and his intentions, which are still there.”
By all means, let us reveal this fiend’s top-secret intentions to the world. See my post from last month after Obama floated this turd of a proposal for why it’s so wrong on the merits; it makes sense politically at least in his case because he has to signal to his internationalist base that he prefers the criminal-prosecution approach to the war on terror, but what’s McCain’s excuse? Yesterday’s Rasmussen poll reminded us that Americans aren’t overly concerned about full due process when it comes to trying terrorists, and I’m reasonably sure the conservatives he’s trying to win over won’t be impressed with his concern for “international mechanisms.” Even worse, this constitutes a partial flip-flop. Via Ben Smith, remember this statement issued as a response to Obama’s Nuremberg comments?
Unfortunately, it is clear Senator Obama does not understand what happened at the Nuremburg trials and what procedures were followed. There was no habeas at Nuremburg and there should be no habeas for Osama bin Laden. Senator Obama cannot have it both ways. In one breath he endorses habeas for terrorists like 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and in the next he denies its logical conclusion of habeas for Osama bin Laden. By citing a historical precedent that does not include habeas, he sends a signal of confusion and indecision to our allies and adversaries and the American people.
Let me be clear, under my administration Osama bin Laden will either be killed on the battlefield or executed.
It’s only a partial flip-flop because McCain’s not insisting now on habeas rights for anyone, but like Smith says, if he’s promising to kill Bin Laden one way or another, what’s the point of a trial? A show trial only plays into Osama’s hands by letting him demagogue the supposed corruption of western institutions. Just lock him away or kill him, and let the media retrospectives about 9/11 that inevitably follow take care of “revealing” his crimes to the world.

Your just mad because we commandeered all of your best material.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 9:46 PM
I don’t think it is just about reminding the conspiracy theorists etc. I think average people are forgetting what happened and who did it. They want to forget, they need to remember.
Terrye on July 25, 2008 at 9:47 PM
No, what you are doing is trolling,
Again.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 9:47 PM
:) In a phrase the difference between us. I don’t care about the political implications. I want him caught and I want him tried by Americans for crimes committed against Americans and I want American justice. 9/11 wasn’t a crime against the world, it was against Americans. The Dems can say whateverthehail they want about it, no skin of my back.
Whatever, no point in arguing the point. He said what he said, read whatever you want into it. Makes no diff’ to me.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 9:47 PM
Why have a trial then if the conclusion is forgone? And if it’s an international court it won’t be unless we negotiate the conclusion ahead of time, again defeating the purpose. I can easily envision Europeans sticking their finger in the eye of America by acquitting Osama and AlQaeda thus, in their minds, invalidating the entire WOT.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Good gosh. This goes beyond irony.
_man criticizing someone else for repetition when they are ridiculing his repeated mindless and reflexive attacks on anyone who dares stray from his approved point of view?
It’s super-irony. It’s ironical irony. It’s doupleplusirony.
It would be self-parody, only he’s not aware of it.
misterpeasea on July 25, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Yes, yes, and, did I say, yes?
This is what I believe 65% of the public wants. And McCain undercuts this advantage over Obama with this argument about international tribunals.
Think of Slobodan Milosevic? Seven years and he wound up dying in his cell?
SteveMG on July 25, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Lol. It is funny. Went from YOU (anyone who voices an opinion) don’t fit at this blog, to the HOST doesn’t fit at this blog. It’s like message control twilight-zone. Whole thing has been worth a chuckle.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Yes, and they are pissed at you for letting it slip one night that America brought 9/11 upon itself. You are supposed to keep that stuff quiet!
TheBigOldDog on July 25, 2008 at 9:52 PM
I think that he is even more upset that he has not even earned one McCain point in the last month.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 9:52 PM
He started out doing that but he just couldn’t help himself. I happen to consider the Nuremberg trials to have been one of the biggest post-WWII mistakes we made. Aside from that, I don’t trust the Euros as far as I can throw them and would NEVER agree to allow them such say in any adjudication that might arise in a war that they have done little else but make it more difficult for us and more dangerous for the whole world. I find this idea to be intellectually offensive.
progressoverpeace on July 25, 2008 at 9:54 PM
You are suppose to have cut back on your drinking.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Luckily for you I don’t drink at all. So why don’t you tell all the nice folks here what you truly believe or do we have to wait until 2am when you’re tired and let it slip out?
TheBigOldDog on July 25, 2008 at 9:57 PM
You know, the funny thing is this was quoted,
But not the exchange the immedeately preceeded it:
And this was his answer to the hypothetical, ‘what would you do if he’s alive?’
It’s not like McCain is going around, telling people that this is want he wants to do, it’s just the answer to a hypothetical. What do you want him to say, something like “I don’t care, I want to kill the bastard!”
And then the lefties get to have their headline “McSame wants to kill people, just like Bush, don’t vote for him!”
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 9:57 PM
“wise_man” was voted “least likely to ever become aware” in his High School class.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Who said that?
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 9:58 PM
::blushing:: No doubt the best offer I’ll get this millennium, Terrye! Now if only we could figure out who the captain of this ship was, we could have him or her do the honors.
CK MacLeod on July 25, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Wow, look at that, MB4 is trolling again.
What were the chances of that happening?
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 9:58 PM
You’re right. It’s not said, it’s implied that the behavior is wrong. Implied, I should have been more detailed, but regardless, the humor of the situation remains and didn’t require precision.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 10:00 PM
No, I want him to say that Bin Laden orchestrated the greatest mass murder in the history of this country. That he declared war on the US and our fellow citizens in 1998 and that he has been the leader of a movement to kill Americans since then.
And that because his acts were directed against Americans, that he will be tried in American courts, under US law and will be executed after being found guilty.
Fullstop.
SteveMG on July 25, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Who was it about a year ago who exposed you as being a fraud for playing a Vietnam Vet here? Do you remember his name? I’d like to dig up all those old posts and haunt you with them until you either skulk away or we both get banned. Suddenly, I think it would be worth it to take you out and spare this site your spamming and hijacking.
TheBigOldDog on July 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Fish gotta’ swim, birds gotta’ fly.
He has a knack of making online friends, doesn’t he?
Quite a gift.
SteveMG on July 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM
OK, guys, you’re entertaining, but I think you’re getting a little carried away here.
MB4 has some …err… unusual ideas about the Iraq War, but I’m pretty sure he’s one of the people who will pick up a gun and defend the country when the excrement contacts the rapidly rotating circulation device.
And MB4, I have to say, you’re WAAAY out of line comparing TheDog to _man.
That’s like saying a guy who stepped on an ant is as bad as
HitlerBush.misterpeasea on July 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM
TheBigOldDog on July 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Is that true? That would irritate me.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 10:03 PM
So what your saying is the trolls said it, not me. Thanks for clearing that up. You’re a doll.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:03 PM
He only died because he wasn’t given his proper medication.
aengus on July 25, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Let it be me. Good people here shouldn’t be banned for the sake of one troll. Give me any key word you can remember and I’ll take it.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Although I tend to clear memory of nonsense and stuff I seem to sort-of-kind-of-maybe recall you having made that scurrilous and hallucinogenic charge of “America brought 9/11 upon itself” before. I don’t seem to recall you having been able to in the least bit substantiate that then, except maybe in your own mind, and maybe I just figured you were mad and desperate and maybe had a few too many.
If you are sober anyway now, show your cards.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:05 PM
I said it. Because you implied. But it was my mistake. Having crossed the proverbial bridge, it’s just a matter of time before you ball out AP for posting in the wrong place. Bound to happen, it’s the natural consequence of your line of reasoning, as you have alluded to already.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 10:06 PM
And while you’re at it, do you have anything on misterpeasea? I’d love to take that goddamned troll off of this website as well. It would be more than worth it.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Would you consider Pakistan to be our ally if they announced that they’ve captured Bin Laden but refuse to turn him over to us?
We are at war and any country who forms an alliance with our enemy by knowingly providing shelter is not our ally. I realize from past discussions that I’m in the minority here, but if Pakistan is knowingly providing shelter to Bin Laden, how does that differ from what the Taliban did for him in Afghanistan, aside from Pak’s nuke capability?
First of all, your scenario specified that a country has “captured” Bin Laden. In the case of an Islamic country with nukes and a population where Osama is a very popular figure we won’t necessarily have to go in gunsablazin’, but as your president I will consult with our military to devise a viable strategy to bring Osama to justice. This will take some time which can be used to work through diplomatic channels leading eventually to a blockade and other actions designed to resolve the issue short of direct military intervention.
We do not share allies with Bin Laden other than in the newspeak definition of the term.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:07 PM
I implied nothing of the sort. You have a vivid imagination. Not to mention some lame friends.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:07 PM
WTF? So, McCain’s gonna follow bin Laden to the gates of hell with a gavel?
Senator, here’s a suggestion:
1) Find bin Laden
2) Shoot him in the head
CP on July 25, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Heh.
I’ll bet you people didn’t know it, but lots of really famous people read Hot Air and comment under anonymous nicknames.
Joe Stalin – freedom_man
Albert Einstein – ignorant_man
Ronald Reagan – liberal_man
John Bolton – appeaser_man
Interesting, huh?
misterpeasea on July 25, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Allahpundit, what’s your policy regarding trolls? Just curious.
Thanks.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:11 PM
You need to lay down as you are getting hysterical and making this all too personal. I can’t help it if you and “wise_man” are so ineffectual.
Although I don’t make it a habit of mentioning it very often I am a Vietnam vet. Big deal.
RVN 1971-1972 under XXIV Corps. I seem to recall having under great provocation posting most of my dd214.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:13 PM
If I was you I would be much more concerned about his policy regarding whining ineffectuals.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:17 PM
MB4 isn’t a troll. He’s been commenting here a good while.
You want to ban two commenters whose opinions you disagree with and so ask other commenters if they have “anything on” them. That is a low and unworthy thing to do.
Its also a little dumb. What are the chances that your fellow commenters have incriminating evidence of MB4 and misterpeasea, two anonymous commenters, engaged in immoral acts? Slim to none? None to none would be more realistic.
aengus on July 25, 2008 at 10:18 PM
It would make a good Vent! We haven’t had one of a long time.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:18 PM
“MB4 isn’t a troll.”
Then why is he acting like one?
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:19 PM
What you fail to realize is that you’re already on the line and we’re reeling you in.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Why don’t you let the mods worry about who gets taken off the site? I’ve been commenting here 2 years and I’ve never seen the number of arguements in that time as I’ve seen in the last couple of months in any thread that you’re active in.
I’ve seen plenty of folks go at each other over any number of issues; but I’ve never seen anyone try to have people banned because they don’t subscribe to a point of view. Given the limited scope of your contributions (rah rah McCain) and how much trouble you create, you are the last person I would listen to in taking people off this site.
austinnelly on July 25, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Maybe you should be asking this person.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Gosh, _man, you are once again winning lots of hearts and minds here.
Keep up the good work.
misterpeasea on July 25, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t mater.
Where did you ever get the idea that I was trying to befriend you?
It is amazing to me that some people get so upset whenever anyone expresses an opinion contrary to their own, I think there is a term for people like that.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:24 PM
I don’t know,and as long as there’s no
nastiness or vulgar,MB4 is harmless,and
yes,has a different slant on certain topics!
jus sayin!:):):)
canopfor on July 25, 2008 at 10:24 PM
So you would rather commenters (rah rah Obama) on this site?
Well, I don’t. And all I want is for them to stop harassing me. If that is possible.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Well said.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:26 PM
I think there is a term for people like that.

I vote that if we capture him alive, we kill him. Why support a flock of lawyers for years and years.
GarandFan on July 25, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Such as what you are doing to me. I make a comment about “jabbing McCain, jab! Jab!” and somehow you guys try to make this into something ‘allahpundit go to huffington post’ which I never said.
Anyone with a opinion that Obama shouldn’t be president and maybe we might want to support the guy who won the republican primary and there is one way to make that happen – is something that you and the others can’t stand.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Fragile.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 10:29 PM
It’s fascinating how some people – I plead guilty on occasion – completely miss sarcasm.
Anyway, it’s one thing for people to express contrary views.
It’s something else to express bigotry and ugliness like welcoming the deaths of other people because they have religious views different than yours. Or calling all people who belong to another religion malevolent or evil.
That’s not just expressing an alternative view. That’s ugliness.
I’ll condemn it every time.
SteveMG on July 25, 2008 at 10:29 PM
He isn’t. Critiques of the Iraq war from the right may not be to your liking but they are valid.
A troll is usually defined as someone who pops up sporadically (from under the drawbridge) to annoy people and/or use profanity and act disruptively on a blog but given that:
a) MB4 comments regularly on several topics and can explain his reasoning calmly
b) he has been commenting at HA longer than you
…your accusation is entirely unwarranted.
A troll is not merely someone who will not toe the party line.
aengus on July 25, 2008 at 10:30 PM
SteveMG on July 25,2008 at 10:01PM.
And I agree with FloatingRock,the truth
be told,yes it should only be the United
States!
The crime was committed on American soil,peroid,
excellent point,SteveMG!
canopfor on July 25, 2008 at 10:32 PM
All you do here is insult people, spam and hijack every thread you can. It’s been going on for what seems like over a year and I’m tired of it. You’ve managed to outlast all the others who have taken you on but you won’t outlast me.
TheBigOldDog on July 25, 2008 at 10:33 PM
You seem to have developed quite a Mussolini complex.
The only way for you to have much of a chance of ever getting the better of anyone on this site in debate would be if practically everyone but you was banned.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:34 PM
When he says (among other things)
He is trolling. Trolling me. Because I said nothing of the sort. And this is nothing to do with ‘not toeing the party line,’ is is trolling, because I don’t ‘toe HIS party line’ with the attacks on the republican nominee, the hated McCain.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Yes, I do see the pattern there now that you point it out. “wise_man” fits very well.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Nah, don’t do that, I think you’re both keepers. Besides, I remember that thread, it was late at night, and while I don’t remember the guys name any more I think it was somebody who’s been banned in the interim because of some of his comments a while back when we were discussing the racist tone of some of Europe’s rising far-right political parties.
I might be wrong, though, and if so, I apologize to that commentator in advance.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:36 PM
What’s he trying to do, be more like Obama?
WisCon on July 25, 2008 at 10:37 PM
It’s exaggeration. You should recognize it – you turn every criticism of McCain into Obama love.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 10:38 PM
To you, what is, isn’t and what isn’t, is.
You just don’t like anyone who is more effective in debate than you, which is just about everyone.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:39 PM
I didn’t understand all they were talking about but I seem to recall that the conversation centered around the jingoism used by tank crews or something like that. It wasn’t at all clear to me that anything had been established at all. It was just one guys opinion as far as I could tell. I’m not even sure they were in the same war….
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I can understand why you feel nonplussed at such cold and harsh (arguably nasty) sarcasm but I don’t agree that it is trolling.
There is no such thing as trolling one person (“Trolling me.”) He is not ruining the blog for everyone. If you are distressed with a commenter then just ignore and don’t argue with that person.
I’ve had very contentious arguments with lots of commenters (including MB4) but you have to separate the man from the argument.
You seem like a well-intentioned person so I’ll just say God bless you.
aengus on July 25, 2008 at 10:42 PM
In the context of speaking of someone’s vote, a non-participation on election day when people could do something about it, helps the opposition. It’s a simple fact, when you take this in the context of a vote.
And there are a few vocal people here who (after the republican nomination is now over) seem to be determined to try to convince more people into not voting for McCain. Ironically, this is also what the democrats are doing. They want the same thing. If they didn’t love Obama, then they would not be helping him, at the ballot box by attempting to convince people not to vote for McCain. For these people, they will never “circle the wagons.”

FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:42 PM
Thanks. I’m glad to dismiss it. I’ve had my disagreements with MB4, and I sure I will again because his claims don’t change, but he never struck me as false about his past.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 10:47 PM
The important word here is “tone”. One doesn’t examine the policies of conservative European parties to see if they are good policies. That would be too much effort. However one notes that they are tonally incorrect because they don’t strike the right notes about multiculturalism, sensitivity, one-worldism blah blah blah etc.
aengus on July 25, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Dude, you’de better be careful what you wish for….
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Well, I like AP. I think he is intellectually honest, and I think he is one of the better writers on the web, so oh well.
Now of course, you’ll say I’m playing a trick with misdirection, and I am a bit, but you have made those arguments to me. And I have never (never) argued on this site who someone should vote for. Which makes your argument false. Of course you couch this slander in words like “seem” etc, and then in juvenile fashion post links to huffpo or kos.
This appeal for banning, etc, is pathetic beyond that.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Like I said, seek help. Maybe it is as simple as having your meds rebalanced. Check it out. You’ll thank me latter when you get a grip.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:50 PM
They could lop his head off, then place it on a platter and try the head. I was going to suggest placing it on a koran for the trial, but it might offend “some”.
SouthernGent on July 25, 2008 at 10:52 PM
So you want to shut out any voice that disagrees with you? How…progressive of you. Perhaps you’d fit in better with the Nutroots.
doubleplusundead on July 25, 2008 at 10:52 PM
I am not referring to AllahPundit. AP is writing headlines.
I am referring to floating rock, misterpeasea and now MB4.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:53 PM
No, This has nothing to do with disagreement,
This has everything to do with one person trolling another.
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Don’t be paranoid.
Your reading comprehension continues to deteriorate, as the comment that you are referring to of mine wasn’t even to a comment of yours.
You are such a flea.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 10:56 PM
MB4 is doing no such thing.
doubleplusundead on July 25, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Damn! I thought you hated me the most. Why am I third on your list. I must try harder to rattle you I guess.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Why do you continually pull that line on everyone?
Anyone who expresses a different reading of a topic or has a different view of an event is attacked by you as being an idiot or a liar or – your favorite of favorites – not being able to read.
It’s not sufficient for you to just disagree.
And then you have the gall to talk about others who don’t wish to welcome dissenting views.
Good grief, man, heal thyself.
SteveMG on July 25, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Given that we’re talking Europe? I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
doubleplusundead on July 25, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Well, I’d be willing to be responsible for your dismissing it absent any evidence to back up the claim. Of the points I mentioned on this issue, the one I’m least certain about was who made the claim about MB4′s military service, although I’m pretty sure the banned member figured prominently in the conversation at some point in the thread. It was about a year ago and I was fairly new here at the time.
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 11:06 PM
YOu were saying?
wise_man on July 25, 2008 at 11:07 PM
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 11:06 PM
The first time I remember the argument came up because of disagreement on Iraq policy and the conversation got hot and personal. Consequently I didn’t read it all, and didn’t think anymore about it. With what you said above, just makes me think it’s reheated leftovers.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2008 at 11:09 PM
He’s just messing with you, lighten up, Francis.
doubleplusundead on July 25, 2008 at 11:10 PM
I don’t. I use it very selectivly when it fits. You should have continued after the comma.
If you would take the trouble to go back and read the comments, just a few would be enough, you would see for yourself what I was referring to.
Now I must go do a couple of errands, but don’t worry “I’ll be back”.
MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 11:15 PM
LOL, It’s meeee! I’m having so much fun….
FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 11:17 PM
Its not unreasonable at all. Its a perfectly understandable assumption but anyone who does not follow or understand European politics in the slightest shouldn’t make definitive statements, at least not when it comes to existential matters.
Would even a cursory examination of European conservative parties on an one-by-one basis be too much to ask before damning them to the purgatory of mainstream non-respectability?
aengus on July 25, 2008 at 11:17 PM
OIC, he’s not trolling me, he’s just ‘messing with me,’
So when he said:
He was just ‘messing with me,’ not trolling me. And when he said:
He was just ‘messing with me,’ not trolling me. And when he said:
He was just ‘messing with me,’ not trolling me. And when he said:
He was just ‘messing with me,’ not trolling me. And when he said:
He was just ‘messing with me,’ not trolling me. And when he said:

because it sure looks like he’s trolling me.

That little tidbit was in response to your “mentioning” me.
You are becoming ever more confused and paranoid and whiny. Better lay down for a spell while I do my errands.

Fair point.

Diana West spoke some to that. I will try to find her column and post it when I get back from my errands.
Someone please take the responsibility to watch “wise_man” in my absense to make sure that he doesn’t hurt himself.

I’d say he saw you getting aggravated and decided to mess with your head. Trolling? Maybe, but you gave him a feast.

Was it Limerick?
Is that when they started calling you MBPoser?
More investigation is needed.

I like to browse the comments here every now and then. Occasionally I’ll write something.
Yet, it amazes me to see how much time some people spend here, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after etc., to the point that they take themselves SO seriously.
You’re posting comments on a blog for heaven’s sake…anonymously!
Is there really any pain to be suffered under such safe circumstances? If your answer is “yes”, then someone needs to take a break and draw some fresh air into their nostrils.

Never doubt The Big Dog.

TheBigOldDog, we don’t always agree but I like both you and MB4 and don’t want to see either of you go. Relax, both of you. I’m just another member but I find it highly unlikely that either of you will be banned and that it’s far more likely you guys will spend all of your time at each others throats irritating the hell out of the rest of us right up until November. MB4 isn’t any more influential in this election than any of us so please just accept your differences and move on.

Funny. This all started because I said:
And then all hell broke loose because of these people.
