ARKIN: IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED...
Georg (#3),
Arkin's gyrations also harken back to the Dick Durbin approach to an apology, where he is sorry that others were offended by his words.
Even though Arkin was being dead serious, surely by now some apologist for the mad/rad left has tried to float the "botched joke" on Arkin's behalf.

ANTI-WAR PROTEST: WHERE IS EVERYONE?
After the pathetic showing in 11, count 'em, 11 cities across our fair land on October 27th, reflecting declining attendance in each successive attempt by the CKIC (Cowardly Keyboard Insurrectionists Club) to bring the "will of the people" to bear upon our government, it's fair to wonder if some sort of Weathermen redux is on the near horizon. If what is being spewed in parts of the "progressive" blogosphere is any indication, there are at least a few people imbalanced, unhinged and psychotic enough to take such a step into total depravity.

Despite Madam Speaker's assurances the option is off the table, frenzied moonbats are still pounding away on the impeachment drum. Although predictably void of logic and reason, here's one example displaying a better grasp of vocabulary and grammar than your typical netnut.

Hast,
Your simplistic strawman arguments carry even less weight when viewed in light of the practical realities of law enforcement.
In every instance you've cited there was willful mayhem taking place which precipitated peaceful participants or innocent bystanders getting swept up by authorities in the resulting confusion of the moment.
When crowds get unruly, the unpredictable can and will happen. People can get arrested, or even killed by mistake, as was the situation at Kent State back in May of 1970.
I stand by my statement that law enforcement is not going out of their way to arrest peaceful, respectful protesters.

hast (#19):
many in the anti-war crowd are preparing for large scale civil disobedience on March 19th in cities all over the world, so you may get what you’ve asked for.
How many time have we heard this before? Between ANSWER (front group for the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party> and World Can't Wait (front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party), every anniversary of the Iraq invasion has been targeted with "massive protests" which have yet to materialize. These organizations also tried to leverage off Bush's second inauguration, labeling it Black Thursday. So a relatively few people acted like complete fools around the motorcade route, but the impact was along the lines of a bear fart in the woods.
War-weary soccer moms who tipped the balance in the last election are generally not going to be caught dead in some rally with the whining malcontents and fringe lunatics who are being manipulated by the likes of ANSWER and WCW.
btw, thousands of people have already been locked up or arrested for their protest activities since the war started. around 2000 people were rounded up and put in makeshift jails during the republican national convention alone.
Nobody is getting locked up, much less arrested for peaceful and respectful protest. Any action by authorities to contain or disperse a gathering has been precipitated by acts of disorderly conduct, vandalism or outright assault.
Case in point, Josh Wolf is rightfully being held in contempt of court for refusing to turn over video evidence of an assault on a peace officer when left-coast anarchists protesting the 2005 G8 Summit turned predictably violent.
Apparently that's all the more reason for the lunatic left to make Wolf one of their poster boys of late, as he was lauded and magnified by Dennis Kucinich at the recent media reform conference (another bear fart in the woods). One would think that between Kucinich, Moyers and McChesney they'd have figured out by now that our individual right to free speech does not include forcing others to listen.
If the liberals could just figure out how to build themselves up without tearing America down, they just might get their own cable channel someday. Let's call it FLN, the Flaming Liberal Network. :)

President Bush referred to Ronald Reagan as a national treasure, too, but that doesn't imply he agrees with everything the former president said, either.
Now, will you follow up your latest logical fallacy (guilt by association) with the illogical conclusion that GWB considers Rush Limbaugh to be on par with Ronald Reagan?
You're clearly troubled by conservative pundits/entertainers plying their craft at the expense of liberals and the world view they advocate. If you're going to allow yourself to be so burdened, may I suggest you wage your war on Limbaugh et al directly, instead of using other bloggers/posters/people as proxies.

WE REALLY ARE A VERY, VERY, CLEVER, SPECIES
Bibbleman,
Please, please, please, go lose yourself in the DK echo chamber. Might be the most intelligent thing you do all year.

IN WHICH IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT CENK UYGUR IS A BRAINLESS TWIT
bibbleman,
If you're going to troll, at least get your facts straight.
15 Republicans won House seats by a margin of 3% or less.
The real squeaker was in the Senate, eh?
Election results in 1994 clearly indicated a repudiation of Democrats, whereas Republicans were an easy scapegoat for a fickle public's growing dissatisfaction with our progress in Iraq.
Anyway, enjoy your slim majority while you can. With the Republicans tacking toward center on one side and the rabid anti-war/impeachment faction on the other, the recently anointed Democratic leadership is looking pretty hemmed in. If they appease the Bush haters, nothing gets done. On the other hand, if they work with Republicans as Pelosi and Reid have promised, it will be tough for them to differentiate in '08.

P.S. Did you claim there are one million readers over on Daily Kos? Regardless, all they need now are some intelligent writers.

The 1994 election results clearly reflected repudiation of Democrats, whereas dissatisfaction with our direction in Iraq made Republicans easy scapegoats in 2006.
Enjoy your slim majority while it lasts. With Republicans tacking toward center on one side and the rabid anti-war/impeachment crowd on the other, the newly anointed Democratic leadership is looking rather hemmed in.

BRING ME THE HEAD OF JAMIL HUSSEIN
Jonathan,
Yeah, you've made your point all right. ;)
A suggestion. Ask a close family member if you've become more or less lucid in the past 24 hours, then, as the case may be, take credit or responsibility for what you're doing to yourself.
Furthermore, if you're going to play the victim, it's only fair to do so with those who are responsible for your predicament.
Now, let's look at Boehner's words in their fuller context (from your link):
On the House side, members did their part to pledge cooperation, but those claims were clouded by Republican charges that Democrats already aren't living up to their campaign promises.
"I think they're getting off to a bit of a rough start," said incoming House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio.
"In 1994 when we took control of the House, 12 years ago, it wasn't that — we wanted to treat Democrats the way we had asked to be treated. And, frankly, that's what we did. What we really expect out of the Democrats is for them to treat us as they would like to have been treated," Boehner said.
But he added, "Republicans on Capitol Hill want to work with Democrats to deal with the issues that the American people sent us here to deal with."
If you'd been a member of the reality-based community back in 1994, maybe you'd be able to appreciate where Boehner is coming from.
Another gem from your link:
"The American people told us they expected us to work together for fiscal responsibility, with the highest ethical standard and with civility and bipartisanship," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, addressing the House after being sworn in Thursday.
Take a lesson from Stretch. Stop letting bloggers, pundits and entertainers get under your skin and get with the program.
