Zell: "Liberators not occupiers"
Zell was singing to choir last night.
This is the problem right here. The republiCONS are so damn arrogant in their world view that it only matters, in their world, how they define the world. Trying to force the definition of "liberators", as viable, is ridiculous. I suppose the CONS will never understand that it doesn't matter what "they" try to define it. It matters how we are being received, in Iraq and elsewhere.

This is the same ignorance based arrogance that takes absolutely ZERO consideration of the 1000's of years old religious and political institutions ingrained in the region.
The damn NeoCONS fooled a frightened citizenry into invading Iraq, all the while conning them into thinking that the region would drop it's tribal-religious-political traditions, developed over 10's of thousands of years, to embrace the USA's democracy concept. Our boys and girls are getting killed and maimed over this. I am outraged.

1. "The World According to Zell" He is one angry nutcase
A perfect fit for the hatefest called the RNC. Remember when repukes were calling the DNC a hatefest. Well, now we can see what really is a hatefest.

2. The media will use whatever term Bush tells them to use - that's a problem
The media does not dare offend Bush, so they give in to whatever his demands are, including changing the language to make Bush look better.

3. Yep
It's just mind boggling, to me, that anyone could entertain the idea that with all the ethnic-tribal-religious influence, in the region, they would accept our 200 year old experiment called democracy.

4. Somebody should inform Iraqis about that...they apparently don't think
are being liberated. They certainly see us as occupiers, otherwise they wouldn't fight us and hate us so much.

5. Generally, liberated folks don't kill 1,000 liberators in gratitude....
I guess the Republicans have now hallucinated those rose petals they claimed were going to be thrown by grateful Iraqis.....

to the Iraqi people as to how they view the US.

8. Zell Miller: Diary of a Sycophant
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 07:44 AM by RUSTY SHACKLEFORD
And they try to claim John Kerry is a flip-flopper. Zell "I'm a Democrat. No wait, I'm a Republican" Miller should get flip-flopper of the year award. In fact, one of his constituents should beat him about the face and neck with a size twelve flip-flop and send his aged red-neck ass back to Georgia with the rest of the reactionary hicks and hillbillies. Don't forget to take your corncobs with you to the outhouse when you go, Zell.

The farmer and the Zell,
the farmer and the Zell,
Hi-ho the dairy-o,
the farmer and the Zell.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ha!


What the hell kinda name is "Zell" anyway?


Suuuuuuey! Soooooo soooooo suuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy!
