You don't understand! We're lying to you for your own good!

Remember that Lancet study on Iraq deaths that was so poorly researched, and so widely discredited, that even anti-Iraq-and-America alarmist site Iraq Body Count refused to accept its ridiculously inflated conclusion of 650,000 Iraqis killed since the 2003 invasion?
Well, the Sunday Times Online is reporting that the study was funded by -- you guessed it -- George Soros.
Here's guessing that liberals the world over will rush to his defense, since, as you know, lies, made-up facts, trumped-up atrocities, and, yes, lies are perfectly acceptable on the part of the Left when it's for a "greater good" -- and make no mistake: to these folks, anything that paints the U.S. as a force for terror and murder in the world, and pushes more Americans to demand that we withdraw from Iraq and surrender it and the rest of the region to Islamofascist terrorists, is indeed "for the greater good."

"Remember The Lancet Report On Casualties In Iraq?"
....comments, as I see that you posted that fact very clearly in that thread. Well done!
By the way, that post by Pej is linked in my post above.
Is anyone on the left even alert enough to recognize that their ultimate boogeyman, Big Brother, is going to turn out to be a lefty?
It really doesn't matter if 1 Iraqi or 1,000,000 Iraqis died as a result of the War. The most important thing to remember is that those Iraqis died under a free and glorious government set up by our brilliant Commander Guy.
I am sure if you could ask any of those dead Iraqis they would tell you how happy they were to finally be free of Saddam Hussein. They would tell you, that is if they could talk, but being dead, they can't. But I'm really sure that their family and relatives are just super happy to be free. I mean, if they were all upset about having their relatives blown to bits in front of them, they might do something like start an insurgency and start blowing up all the soldiers who freed them in the first place.
It doesn't surprise me that George Soros funded this study. He is always causing trouble, funding democracy and stuff like that all over the place. When will he learn that it is only us on the right who know how to fund a democracy. Just look at the wonderful job we have done with Iraq!

Oh, and by the way?
If you hadn't lied about your political affiliation, I would have left your account active. Liberalism's one thing: even stupid, knee-jerk liberalism that screams incessantly to hide the whimpers of one's conscience. But we really do insist that people do not deny what they are.
Ta.
The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC. I've been usurped!
There were 235 violent deaths per day during Saddams rule. Since the start of the war there have been 137 violent deaths in Iraq per day. I guess liberals like Blanc would like to see that extra 98 die per day.
completely understand how it is America's fault ObL decided he needed to wage secret war on America. I am also sure they do not mind at all that the brave heroes of AQ found they needed to target civilians going to work or flying to see relatives in order to make sure the Americans understand that while Moslems are free to move around the world, Americans must never defend their interests in Middle East. I am sure the 3000 dead of 911 would say all of this and more in agreement with you...if they were not so dead. But an idiot like you is probably also a 911 truther.
I know you are gone, blanca, but it is wankers like you that remind us all of the emptiness and corruption at the heart of lefty hackdom. And I just could not pass up the opportunity of rubbing your idiocy back in your face.
They will just ignore the topic and refuse to engage if its brought up.

This guy has just let her go on and on talking crap and let her take over the show he is scared of her now just like all the media. They don't want to make the woman mad by being tough on her.

or to enjoy a fight in which I can cause the opponent to curl up in the fetal position!
But I understand we need adults around here to protect the bandwidth.
But while we are on the subject,
What is your opinion on the price of tea in China?

The price of tea in China is exhorbatantly high because of the revolutionaries in the British Colonies that are want to limit the supply by dumping large quantities into the bay simply to complain about unfair taxation when we know that the government is most capable of supplying their every need and therefore owns every dollar they make.
They should be glad the government allows them to keep anything at all.
What we need in a leader is to tell us not what we want to hear, but what we need to hear.
Recent Bushian statements in the Middle East may indicate that YOU and not Gamecock may have been right about what was started at Annapolis.
May
Please don't rub salt yet. As we have seen Bush astound critics before that thought he had gone soft.

And what I mean by that is "the Lancet is not credible." I've been in college since I was 17. I've had repeated classes at several different colleges and at each of them, when required to write or give speeches every single professor/teacher I had said "The Lancet is not a credible source. It's the only one you shouldn't use if you are required to write a paper using peer-reviewed information."
Take from that what you will. I'm about to finish my masters and go into the doctoral program within a year. So I've seen a lot of teachers, taken a lot of classes and the majority of them were science classes. They are considered a joke in the research world.

to cite from Wikipedia in a research paper, article, journal, etc. I used wikipedia here because it was convenient, but I could have just as easily used an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is the death star to a good research paper.

...done a great deal of academic research myself, and often found Wiki to be a great place to start finding sources on obscure topics and details. A well-sourced Wiki article (yes, they do exist :-) can send you to the right places to get good, solid information.
However, relying just on the Wiki article itself -- and citing Wikipedia in a research paper or, God forbid, something professional that will be subject to peer review? I shudder at the thought of such a horrible idea.
leads to bad decisions, such as insisting Wikipedia is the best resource. I've known people that believe such.

...for my other major hobby (role-playing games, for those coming in late). It usually outlines a particular topic well, and the discussions can give you a very quick idea of what the major controversies are; so it's a good place to start researching, and at the level of putting together an adventure scenario, often a reasonably good place to end. But I'd never use it for anything academic.

We just finished rewatching the third season. I can't believe nothing new will come out for so long.
From Richard Poe in John McCain Gets Soros Cash
Senator John McCain's Reform Institute has suffered some bad press recently due to its involvement in an influence-peddling scandal with Cablevision. As usual, however, mainstream media have failed to go to the root of the matter.
Founded on June 26, 2001, McCain's Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues has long served as a nerve center for the so-called "campaign finance reform" movement – a movement which has done nothing to clean up campaign finance, but has done a great deal to empower federal judges and government bureaucrats to regulate political speech, in defiance of the Bill of Rights.
And now for the fun part:

And FWIW from Aryeh Spero in McCain-Soros Toppled GOP Candidates from the Human Events group.
So thank you, John McCain, for your tireless efforts in behalf of McCain-Soros, clean money and motives and "reform." You have helped bring your party down. Thanks for being the gang leader of the “Gang of 14,” which stood in the way of up-or-down confirmation of conservative justices. Hats off to you for redefining torture so that effective interrogation of jihadists is forever impossible. As a reward, you wish, now, to lead the party and become its Presidential nominee and standard bearer. I don't think so.
Soros is a problem because politicians of low character have cooperated with this billionare wingnut.
Thank You Jeff Emanuel regarding this upate and George Soros. Keep up the good work . Tom Folan
and I'll bet you a cold, frosty one that you won't see any of this in the MSM.
