Some person had the misfortune to not only post a barely legible support of "Palestinian" terrorists over at Charles Johnson's Little Green Footballs, but to leave a link to her(?) site. (WTF does "Personaly i find violence is rearly justified " mean? That it's "rarely justified"? That it's "nearly justified"? That it's "really justified"? That it's only a justified response to anal rape? Granting that none of us are perfect, perhaps a bit more effort could have been put into seeing that a key sentence in the argument actually made sense in English?) Of course, the true shallowness of her(?) thinking(?) is shown by the first article, "THE REAL COST OF GAS (Do The Math)" (no permalinks, sorry) where the whole argument is invalidated by half a paragraph:
The premise that you must accept, in order for these figures to be meaningful, is that the “War on Terror” will have no other benefit (and has little other purpose) than protecting US access to importable petroleum. While I think that is obvious I will include a link to anAlterNet article that nicely sums up the situation Other than the extremely falliable political intuition of the author, support for the argument comes solely from the AlterNet (hardly a reputable source) article. Aside from the inclusion of Enron (Gasp! Choke! Enron!?) in the list of players, AlterNet's faux exposé has long since been repeatedly and ably refuted. But the hard left maintains a veneer of intellectual respectability by incessantly quoting each other's articles in the hopes of obscuring the source of a lie (the Marc Herold "study" -- actually article-clipping from leftist sources -- of Afghan casualities merely being the most obvious and recent example of this conduct). Once again, to quote Andrew Olmsted:
I have yet to see any of those behind [a self-described anti-war website] present a real argument, instead depending on a combination of insults, innuendo and fantasy to prop up their sentiments. I confess I'm quite disappointed, although not overly surprised. While I think there are some people out there who have rational arguments (not necessarily irrefutable, but rational) against the war, it appears clear they're not going to make their presence known.
