Obviously yours doesn't, as you continue to refer to the president by the same tired and untrue label over and over and over again...

Who's a Terrorist?...

Watching the right and left sides of the blogosphere squabble over whether James Von Brunn more closely resembles a pachyderm or a jackass is the comedy gift that just keeps on giving: It's hardly been 24 hours since James Von......

Good luck with that argument...granted, it has worked with the far right fringe...the same group, ironically, that Von Brunn and Roeder come from...

Actually until recently he's been off the left end of the American political spectrum. as it is, he's still fairly close to that edge. And yes, that denotes fascism.

This is just fascism; you can argue it's place on the political spectrum, it's just not on the American political spectrum.

Oh, so on that basis, it would be wrong to call the president a "fascist" as he is part of the American political spectrum...

Pretty much the case, PD, yes.
But as I pointed out in the comments there and at my own place, that won't stop them trying to make him fit their talking points.

Randy Simberg calls the nutjob a socialist, but I think if you follow through to the Frontpage Magazine article that he links, you see that the murderer hated "the Jew" Marx and his brand of socialism/communism. Instead, he advocates Western Socialism, which unlike national socialism, appears to be based upon the "ethos of the West," i.e. a shared Western mythology, not a national mythology. This is just fascism; you can argue it's place on the political spectrum, it's just not on the American political spectrum. Front Page

Schlussel will say whatever it takes to get on TV. When reading her (if you have to) it's best to keep this in mind.

That it makes no sense is not particularly important to her - as long as its provocative.

Let me make a recommendation to all of you. Rand Simberg has a great article up on all of this I think you need to read.

I gather that was filmed at the Isle of Wight, but the phtographers got kinda distracted when the crowd started rioting. (Pissed they hadda pay for tickets as I recall)

Hell of an audio recording, though, at least form the standpoint of 'what the heck is going on THERE?'.

Got it on a Radio Shack loss-leader collection that they released on Columbia records ... double album set, on the early 70's. You can tell it's a film soundtrack, though... had a slight 16fps jiggle they apparently couldn't get rid of when they cut the disk.

I miss the days when we blamed Alice Cooper and Eminem for everything bad that happened.

Actually, there's an earlier and simpler way:

Mister marvin middle class is really in a stew
Wondrin what the younger generations coming to
And the taste of his martini doesnt please his bitter tongue
Blame it on the rolling stones.

Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better, knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones

Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day
Of the rising price of tranquilizers she must pay
And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home

Blame it on the rolling stones.

Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better, knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones

Fathers at the office, nightly working all the time
Trying to make the secretary change her little mind
And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes
Blame it on those rolling stones.

Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; same the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones

Blame it on the stones, blame it on the stones.

Christianity is a Big Lie and Hoax, apparently to blame for the fall of the Roman Empire.

Well, Edward Gibbon thought something similar. Barbarism and Christianity, right?

He's . . . also anti-Christian.

I didn't realize that until I saw some of his rants quoted in the comments to Schlussel's blog: Christianity is a Big Lie and Hoax, apparently to blame for the fall of the Roman Empire. Could be neo-pagan.

None of which is to suggest pagans, Christians, atheists, Muslims are culpable in the slightest. The guy is a nutter.
