It doesn't have to end like this.
Put the blog down, Labs, we can work this out. All you have to do is put the blog down.
Labs, do we need to put you back on a "no reading right-wing blogs" regimen?
For the love of little apples. Let us spam their site for advocating violence. Maybe we should try to get them fired.
WE'RE STILL ALLOWED TO INTERROGATE PEOPLE, YOU DUMB FUCK.
I want a suitcase of unmarked bills and a flight to Idaho, and nobody gets flamed.
I think Labs has really taken it to the next level by linking to this insanity. We've had a lot of insane pedophiles, but not any insane homicidal maniacs yet.
I'd go for Montana myself. Not only full of abandoned fields with decent squatter's rights, but it's also a short hop to Alberta, Canada's red state!
Isn't that where crazed survivalists live off the grid?
I thought a week ago you said it was nothing but Bad News Hughes. What the fuck happened?
decent squatter's rights
You could just move to Turkey. Best damn squatters' rights in the world.
Kindof.
This isn't going to work, Labs, b/c you're not going to pursue it as doggedly as if you had rabies, but part of the ammo you need to counteract the inevitable "DF is worse than Misha because she said she wouldn't care if a child were killed, while Misha called for the murder of five adults is to remind folks that some of the prisoners at Gitmo are children--perhaps almost 10% of them.
(C'mon Standpipe, couldn't you use some pastry?)
As I understand it, there are parts of the west where government officials, like ordinary BLM employees, cover up the identifying tags on their uniforms in order to avoid being id'd immediately as government.
Psst. 'Canada's red state' has more social programs than NYC.
And you know what? There's a world of difference between saying 'Are you still married to your wife? I wouldn't cry if something happened to your kid' and 'Hang 5 Justices from a tree' and neither of them are anywhere near the level of a goddamn threat.
C'mon B, you know they never bring cake. Not even a lousy warmed up Eggo.
This is just kind of shitting where you eat on the part of Labs.
Labs, do you have a deadline that's pressing upon you? Some tragic personal news? Trying to take your mind off O's blood count? What? We'll listen. This is a safe space for you.
Can we agree that Insty is the gateway drug that led to this tragic situation? And can someone check in on w/d? I think he said he agreed with the last three Insty posts.
Labs, I have an in on a very quiet cabin between Carcross and Scagway. Hell, for that matter, there's a nice abandoned hut on the marge of Lake Labarge I could direct you towards. You'd have to bring your own Deet, though.
"Shoot to kill, don’t bother taking prisoners. "
The subtext of today's White House memo about Article 3.
I'll never forget that night on the marge of Lake Labarge when I cremated Sam McGee.
linking to this insanity
Folks, if you're not familiar with Misha and his merry band of halfwit psychopaths, believe me, the linked post is mild. I wander through there every couple of months or so when I start feeling like deep down, every person has something worthwhile at their core. Because not everybody does, and my faith in humanity causes me to forget that every now and again.
Every time [insert wingnut blogger here] starts in about the intrinsic nastiness of the left, I tend to reply, "So what is the liberal equivalent of nicedoggie.net?" Because, of course, there isn't one. NB: He's no longer there, but Misha was linked, for a very long time, at Instapundit.
I'll get us started. Look at what chickenshits you pansy-ass liberals are! Afraid of a little trolling! No wonder you can only threaten children! HAW HAW HAW!
We may be pansy-asses, but you were foolish enough to come to us without cake.
I used to wish you tax-humping Leftists could see yourselves as others do. Now when I read a tax-humping Leftist blog I just wipe my boogers on the screen where the blog is.
Take that, tax-humping Leftist blog.
you people just losers appease understand failed policies string you up by your bleeding crybaby barcock osama fatty chokepretzelburton yertimezup
It was believable, SB, right up until you failed to spell "losers" as "loosers."
I now expect a week's worth of posts on the topic of ice cream after all this.
I know citing a New Yorker article isn't going to earn me any points, but after reading that piece about the FBI agent who got a bunch of AQ guys to spill the beans without torturing them suggests to me that a lot of our really good intel was obtained w/out torture. Am I just a delusional librul in my coccoon, or is that generally the case?
33: Seeing as that it's pretty much irrefutable at this point that torture produces good intelligence, insofar as we have any good intelligence, it was likely procured not through torture.
It was believable, SB, right up until you failed to spell "losers" as "loosers."
incase you didnt know 51% of the populous spells it my way you merlot-snorting fetus banger
coccoon
This is what you get when a rooster humps a raccoon in the hoohole.
Okay, fetus banger wins the internet or something.
I used to want to fuck google in the hoohole, but then I saw it give birth.
27 totally cracked me up. Nicely delayed surprise there.
33: That is generally the case. Torture produces highly unreliable intelligence, b/c people will say anything under torture. And there are very good interrogation techniques that are not torturous.
Okay, fetus banger wins the internet or something.
40 - The story of the friendship between a star pitcher, wise to the world, and a half-wit catcher...
(Stifling inappropriate laughter)
Look, on the marge of Lake Labarge, where the wind blows cold in June, men are men, and women aren't around; and everyone knows that a man must act as a man must act, and a man's cabin, no matter how rickety, is a man's castle; and everyone knows that the gov'ment men who fly in to surveille just don't get how we do things 'round here.
The political tradition 'round there, though, is rabid isolationism, tax evasion, and gold nuggets under the mattress.
But what about the lady that's known as Lou? I guess I don't know where the Malamute Saloon is.
I don't know where the Malamute Saloon is.
Right behind the hoohole.
I think that's where Dan McGrew got shot.
There was no shooting. Calumny! It was all about the cold! Here are the words.
And here's the Malamute Saloon.
Get me in the right frame of mind and I can recite both from heart.
I don't know if there are variations, but the words linked in 47 don't quite work the way I remember. Example:
And often I'd sing to the hateful thing,
works better as
And I'd often sing to the hateful thing, and it hearkened with a grin.
Without w-lfs-n around, someone has to be picky.
I don't know either by heart, but I'd put money that the Malamute Saloon was in Dawson.
34 -- zis word "irrefutable", I sink it does not mean what you sink it means.
34 should say "doesn't produce good intelligence," I'm pretty sure.
No! No! It produces good intelligence!
53 is correct.
There was a lengthy Guardian interview a while back with one of the chief Mossad interrogators.
There was a fair bit of self-aggrandisement on the part of the interrogator -- he claimed to have a 100% success rate -- but he did deny using torture. He was fairly adamant it didn't work and that psychological pressure and acquiring the prisoner's trust was much more effective.
What made the article interesting was they then tracked down some Palestinians who'd been interrogated by him. They confirmed he hadn't tortured them, but most of them seemed sceptical about his claim to be 100% successful. Some of them found it amusing.
I think it would be so wrong, whilst in the throes of passion over "fetus banger", to ignore the beauty of "merlot-sniffing".
More importantly, have you people heard Booty Hole? Song is NSFW, obvs.
the beauty of "merlot-sniffing".
It's good, but I have a sentimental attachment to the original.
19: I appreciate the concern, but I'm not going to move on to harder stuff.
