That’s why I KNOW you to be an anti-Semitic ball of trash.</i><br /><br /><br />Whoops. We now have <i>another</i> definition of what it takes to be an anti-Semite. This is starting to get a little confusing.<br /><br /><br /><i>You were wise to stay off Wretchard’s site: Those guys and gals would have your lunches into the next millennium.</i><br /><br />Geez, you could be right. I've stopped in a couple times, got bored, and left. So I don't really know any of those guys. Of course Habu, you know the guy you killed with your witty reparte, he stopped in about six months ago. He stated what a shit world it was and that the EB should get off it's collective ass and do something. When I pointed out that he wasn't really specific about what it was he would like us to do and questioned him on what he had done lately, he never responded. Haven't seen him since.<br /><br />Now I had expected Buddy Larsen to show up over here but unless he is merely trolling he hasn't done so.<br /><br />I recall at the time you were asked to leave the bar and Whit and Deuce were talking about shutting the EB down, I went over <br />to the BC and noticed the post where you were telling Buddy how mean we all were at the EB and how we were talking about him. It was kinda like those nerdy little kids you knew growing up that were always telling tales trying to get in with the big boys.<br /><br />As I recall, Buddy mentioned he would have to stop in at the EB to see what was going on. Haven't seen him. Of course, he may have come over checked a few streams, saw you were full of shit and left.<br /><br />One wonders why a clever guy like you doesn't spend all of his time over at the BC. Could it be they also have grown tired of your favorite subject?<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-14945907103989543222011-12-05T02:40:46.695-05:002011-12-05T02:40:46.695-05:00.

That you would smear the countless American service members who worked this problem over decades proves beyond doubt that you are anti-Semitic and a despicable excuse for a human being.</i><br /><br />Well this really kind of clarifies a lot <br /><br />I asked you for your definition of an anti-Semite. The only example you can give me is that I disagree with you on the Liberty incident.<br /><br />But WiO also disagrees with you on the Liberty incident; therefore, I assume you regard WiO as anti-Semitic. And this would make all the men who served on the Liberty including the Jews aboard anti-Semitic also since they disagree with you. Then there is Dean Rusk (SOS at the time), Clark Clifford, (SOD at the time), Ward Boston (Senior Council on the Inquiry), Adm. Moorer (Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), the head of the NSA, various embassy personell who had seen the communications, well, I could go on but what's the point under your definition they are all anti-Semitic because they disagree with you on this issue. Very telling.<br /><br />This one is a little confusing however.<br /><br /><br /><i>That you would smear the countless American service members who worked this problem over decades proves beyond doubt that you are anti-Semitic and a despicable excuse for a human being.</i><br /><br /><br />:)<br /><br />Did you read this before you posted it? Countless? First, had you bothered to read the info I provided on the so-called hearings you would realize there just weren't that many military types involved other than scribes, pencil pushers and those doing the copying.<br /><br />Second, since all the people I mentioned above who disagree with the findings fall into the same category as me, once again you are calling them anti-Semitic.<br /><br />Third, I have to believe that the 'military' that you are talking about just given normal distributions would not consist entirely or mostly of Jews; therefore, how can my views on their work indicate that I am anti-Semitic.<br /><br />The only thing I can assume is that in any instance where a non-Jew disagrees with you on anything having to do with Jews, Israel, or Zionism, they are ipso facto anti-Semitic in your view.<br /><br />I have suspected this for some time but the clarification is helpful.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-68461369449097388492011-12-05T02:19:19.386-05:002011-12-05T02:19:19.386-05:00Quirk said...

For example, I am a Marine, and my son will soon become a Marine. That places me a head and shoulder above anyone who is not. In fact, I had almost forgotten what it was like, until an exchange with Rufus. <br /><br /><br />Quirk, think, if you can, about two old men, who suddenly recall a sacred vow, an undying trust. But, of course, Quirk, you cannot. You have never put your life on the line for a cause beyond your miserable life. When you look at "The Wall" you will never see young (forever young) mates, who took that round between the eyes or who gave you to drink from his canteen as you marched past his truck. Instead, you and others like you will desecrate the memory of real men. Like your idol Caligula, you will pay homage to a horse's rear end and think yourselves clever. A pox on you and all like you.allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605114251615293411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-42429192798372316702011-12-05T02:04:00.619-05:002011-12-05T02:04:00.619-05:00.

Even you bud WiO says your full of shit.<br /><br /><br /><i>But I stick with the Armed Forces of the United States.</i><br /><br />The "countless" military involved in these so-called hearings were primarily pencil-pushers. Military from the Joint Chiefs on down have decried the findings of the of the one actual hearing on this matter and denounced it as a cover-up. <br /><br />You can stand with the military that did as instructed, I will stand with the 200 hundred servicemen who were killed or wounded.<br /><br />By the way, do you also stand with the military that were involved with Richard Nixon in the framing of General John Lavelle?<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-62938122811462196942011-12-05T01:28:38.598-05:002011-12-05T01:28:38.598-05:00.
