Your resorting to brainless name-calling really undermines whatever arguments you might actually be trying to present.

For example, how many people, indigenous Indian people, died in the ethnic cleansing of North America as perpetrated by the founding Fathers. And how many African slaves were whipped, raped and murdered by these illustrious patriots?

Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, Kaus.

America was founded by Christian bigots who murdered Indians and enslaved Africans — that’s just a fact that you will have to accept, Kaus. But perhaps you will not because you have Hitler pictures in your basement.

Finally, if I buy a few acres of property in Mexico, it does not give me the right to form my own, gringo-only government there on that land and thousands of acres of other lands nearby that I take by force. But that is exactly what the Zionist-nazis did in Palestine in 1948.

I also think you should read the history behind Palestine prior to 1949…a lot of real estate was sold legally to Jews by the Arabs for property that was not of interest to them. I think kicking them out now would be equivalent to Rockford deciding there were too many blacks in the neighborhood and decided it was time for them to leave.

Sixty years ago, racist Zionists used terrorist tactics, mass murder and threats of mass murder, to steal Palestine from its indigenous people and drive millions of them from their ancestral homes in an act of ethnic cleansing reminiscent of the Nazis.

On 15 May, Bush spoke to this terrorist regime and told them that they were a “chosen people” who can forever count on American support for their racist policies.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most disgusting appeaser of them all?

Obviously, it’s not Barack Obama, who has never approved of the Iranian terrorist government, but GW Bush who has given the terrorist-racist Israeli government his blessing.

All you Zionist-racist sympathizers, please tell me this:

What’s the difference between
“Lebensraum für die Herrenvolk”
and the racist policy that Bush gave his support to in his speech to the Zionist-racists:
“Israel. Because the Promised Land is for the Chosen People. For Good…For Keeps…Forever”?

Finally, dear Kaus, why should I should I not “sympathize” with Ho Chi Minh? He was a freedom fighter same as George Washington.

Just as Washington drove the British imperialists from America, Ho drove the French, Japanese and American imperialists from Vietnam. If Washington is worthy of our honor, then so is Ho Chi Minh.

If he was half as honest as he claims to be, he’d admit he’s drawing the line this way because (a) he needs to take a stand against some jihadist outfit to prove to pro-Israeli voters that he’s not the appeasement-minded milquetoast the right claims he is, and (b) given that Iran has more regional leverage than Hamas plus the fact that he’s surely not going to deal with them militarily, he needs to preserve some way of dealing with them diplomatically.

It’s Just like his blowhard speech about race - nothing but political expedience dressed up as something more thoughtful and principled. Don’t be fooled.

In Vietnam, he used his big powerful warplane to bomb innocent Vietnamese people who never did him or any other American any harm, and he’s proud of it.

I suppose that those dead guys who used several airplanes on September 11, 2001, to kill innocent Americans who never did them any harm would also be proud of what they did. Their allies certainly are.

In Iraq, McCain favors using US soldiers to kill innocent Iraqi citizens who never did him or any other American any harm, and he’s proud of it.

In Iran, he has used a parody of an old Beach Boys song to express his desire to bomb and kill innocent Iranian citizens who never did him or any other American any harm, and he’s proud of having made light of the horrific and indiscriminate act of mass murder that he espouses.

John McCain is a terrorist, plain and simple. In a just world he would be in jail for mass murder, along with Bush and the gang of thugs who got us into this criminal Iraq War.

Barack Obama is not Neville Chamberlain by any stretch of the imagination, but John McCain is a whole lot like Osama bin Laden, and a trigger-happy psychopath to boot.
