I disagree with almost all of his opinions, but I think he believes them...which is actually interesting and worth paying attention to if only to understand the mindset of the other side.<br /><br />In the time that he's been on Fox, he's actually come a long way (hey, you sit next to Krauthammer long enough, you're going to start getting smarter just by osmosis) and started moving a bit more to the center and rejecting the farthest-left nonsense. Which is why he stopped parroting the scripted liberal line and NPR subsequently decided to fire him for (of all things) being a bigot. <br /><br />@Colby- I think "Harpootlian" could replace "Marco Polo" as a fun swimming pool game. Or it could be used like "Gesundheit" when people near you fart.<br /><br />Regarding the pissing Marines, they probably shouldn't have done it (and certainly shouldn't have shot a video), but in all honesty I don't give a rat's ass about them moistening some Taliban corpses. Like Col. Allen West said, "War is Hell." And guess what - it's <i>supposed</i> to be Hell so that it's a last resort.<br /><br />And did Shih-thayed have a brother named Ahsoal?Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-18404680990982561672012-01-17T18:25:55.319-06:002012-01-17T18:25:55.319-06:00Im so glad Newt and most of the GOP guys felt the ...Im so glad Newt and most of the GOP guys felt the way I did about that pissin incident...Juan Williams on Fox was appalled too, but he's a liberal, although I still cant help but like him.pryorguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-53681734964301389202012-01-17T15:37:15.040-06:002012-01-17T15:37:15.040-06:00Harpootlian, Harpootlian, Harpootlian, Harpootlian...Harpootlian, Harpootlian, Harpootlian, Harpootlian...<br /><br />Your right!

And, judging by the left's miserable opining of just how 'mean spirited' and 'brutal' it was, well, let's just say I am encouraged!<br /><br />The only thing still is, if the uninformed watch too much left coverage and comments about it, they could take it as fact, and might have some influence on their choice. But, fact is, obama is losing some black votes, among others, and it is very close right now.

But no - he prefers to salt those wounds and turn the screams into votes.<br /><br />@Colby- I came really close to making the day's cartoon/commentary about the idiocy of saying that a GOP debate was "racist" for being held on MLK Day.

They have NOTHING in common - not even skin color! I met the doctor many years ago, back in the mid 60's, and agreed with him completely! I still believe he "had to go" because what he was saying, and what he was doing - WAS WORKING! Dr. King just about had the 'race card' put out of existence. Real Americans were seeing the light. He had some years to go, but it was going in the right direction! In turn, that success would have "killed the cash cow" others had found in the "freedom from racism" business. Like the Jacksons(s), Sharpton, and Farrakhan, etc., etc., ad nauseum are STILL living off of!
