And the Canadian right-wing wurlitzer's job is now complete.</i><br /><br />Actually, I think, with Craig Smith's "I luz torchure!" it is now complete. And bravo for him for being so honest.<br /><br />When will these people learn that dancing around one's own cherished principles is always a mistake? The operative one here is that the Right <i>loves</i> torture. They think it works, and even if it doesn't, it, like harsh sentencing and the death penalty, has a retributive value that satisfies their emotional needs.<br /><br />The rest of us make the mistake of listening to and responding to them when they're arguing other things (like...*har har*...claims of 'insufficient evidence') and moving goal posts around.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-4016861045693050462010-01-11T09:18:15.499-05:002010-01-11T09:18:15.499-05:00I'm just wondering how long it's going to ...I'm just wondering how long it's going to be before one of these people lets six people beat them with combat boots... because that's almost certainly what went down here.Polyorchnid Octopunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957427743428004653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-63320362476014406922010-01-11T09:07:11.998-05:002010-01-11T09:07:11.998-05:00Cherniak, I don't think it's quite accurat...Cherniak, I don't think it's quite accurate to say that Taylor and his ever obdient minions share a brain.<br /><br />Rather, they share merely a few brain cells.
