Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

No one could have predicted…

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

This really is a full service blog.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

White supremacy is terrorism.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Y. Arafat, terrorist: Palestinians say

Y. Arafat, terrorist:

Palestinians say that Yasir Arafat, their leader, has issued no order in recent days to stop the terror attacks and probably could not enforce one in any case. Numerous Palestinians, in interviews today, showed no remorse for the Israelis injured and killed in today’s attacks. The opposite, in fact.

Which is what I have been saying all along. Arafat either can not or will not stop the violence. Put a bullet in him.

This suggests that, even if General Zinni succeeds in bringing about a cease-fire among the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, Mr. Arafat will have a difficult time bringing along the rank and file even among his own supporters. Numerous other Palestinians, in Islamic Jihad, Hamas and other militant movements, hold no allegiance to Mr. Arafat and his agreements.

Today’s attack, “boosted the morale of our people,” said Iyhab, a Palestinian gunmen who declined to give his full name, echoing the sentiments of numerous people interviewed here this afternoon. He was referring to the gunman who opened fire in the central Israeli town of Kfar Saba this afternoon, killing a schoolgirl.

Which also proves what I have been saying all along. They (the Palestinans and their supporters) will not stop until every Jew is dead and Israel does not exist.

Is this really so hard for people to understand? I agree the Jewish settlerments must stop, but is it not now crystal clear to everyone what is going on in the region? Bush better not go wobbly on Israel, and someone please muzzle Colin Powell.

    John Cole, you are a despicable person filled with hate. So what is Arafat is incapable of reining in the militants? Put a bullet in him?? you say that so nonchalantly, you don’t seem to have value for human life. Are you Jewish? If you were i’d understand. Isn’t somewhere in your ‘scriptures’ that a life of a non-Jew isn’t worth the fingernail of a Jew?? Following these kind of corrupted religious teachings is what makes you people (Jewish Fundamentalist extremist hate filled terrorists, such as yourself, John) so evil.

    The world would be better rid off your hate filled kind. Rest assured, it’s not gonna happen now, but when the Messiah comes. Jesus the Messiah will come and kick all your evil butts, you and your master, the False Messiah who will rule from the throne of David (thereby deceiving your misguided kind). The stage is about to be set for your Divine punisment…Repent while you still can and while God will still accept it.
