Facts are facts

Kit loses. And she cannot explain what “retardation” she is referring to.

Way to distract from the topic at hand Kit!

That, of course, was Kit’s intention from the outset. Any discussion with Kit ends quickly when she realizes that she will not be successful in diverting the discussion with her ad hominem tactics.

DO you have a problem with their use of the footage?

No. Nor is that usage a “prop”. The death of US soldiers in Iraq is a fact.

April was the deadliest month for US soldiers in Iraq since last September. The policies of the Bush administration ensure that soldiers will continue to die in this occupation. McCain would continue those policies — and sees no reason not to do so for the next 100 years.

Warpimps like Kit would like to hide the fact of continued US casualties in Iraq, for the simple reason that such knowledge increases the public’s desire to get the United States out of the occupation business in that country. The alleged ‘disgust’ that Kit is whining about is simply a smoke screen for her desire to keep the public ignorant of the facts.

It is instructive to note that Kit’s manufactured outrage is occasioned not by the fact that soldiers are dying in Iraq, but by the fact that someone has dared to point out this fact — as well as the fact that soldiers would continue to die for a long time to come under a President McCain.

Since when have I said I want to keep the public ignorant of the facts about casualties?

Kit fails to cite any instance in which I have attributed such a statement to her.

In fact, to prove my point, I just wrote a post about casualties.

Easy to do after she has been criticized.

It is about respect. Two American lives ended in that split second, and those men died. That is worth more than a cheap political shot on TV.

Remember, kids: Pointing out that McCain’s policies would ensure the end of many more American lives in Iraq is merely a “cheap political shot”.

Keeping silent about this fact is apparently the right thing to do, in Kit’s morally inverted world.

Before you bother mentioning the “millions” of Iraqis that have died (or so you claim)...

Where do I make this claim? Citations, please.

YES, I believe one American soldier is worth more than an Iraqis life.

Kit’s bigotry against anyone not an American is well-known. The reminder was unnecessary, but appreciated.

And YES, I think if we’re going to end al-Qaeda’s reign over there, we need to be killing a whole lot more Iraqis.

Kit’s enthusiasm for mass murder is well-known. The reminder was unnecessary, but appreciated.

You JUST SAID in your previous comment that I want to “keep the public ignorant of the facts.” I want no such thing.

Kit JUST SAID in her earlier comment:

Since when have I said I want to keep the public ignorant of the facts about casualties?

She is still unable to cite any instance in which I have attributed such a statement to her. Her actions in whining about the footage in the DNC spot, however, make her intent quite clear.

But you could do it without the footage of American troops being blown up.

But the DNC chose to use the footage. Freedom of speech and all that.

I found Kit’s latest post on casualties to be quite entertaining. Apparently, no one should discuss the number of casualties resulting from the invasion and occupation of Iraq until said casualties outnumber those from earlier US conflicts. And her last bit was utterly hilarious:

They died for something. While tragic, their deaths preserve that much more time that you can freely go where you wish. Their deaths make it possible for you to road trip to your next rally without having to show papers at a checkpoint somewhere because you crossed state lines.

Golly. You gotta wonder: What sooper-secret evidence Kit has seen that Iraqi commandos were planning to invade the US and set up checkpoints between, oh, I don’t know, Kansas City and Des Moines? Talk about your fevered imagination. I think Kit’s seen one too many screenings of Red Dawn...

You make no sense, and as always, your arguments are boring.

Kit finds an argument to be “boring” when it is based on facts. She does, however, take great interest in her own fantasies about committing genocide.

You attribute a purpose to me (that I want to keep info from the public) and then claim you never said that I SAID I wanted to do that?

That’s correct. Kit is perhaps unaware that sometimes, people do not articulate their intentions. Nevertheless, those intentions are clearly discernable from the actions that such people take.

Do you realize how asinine that entire thing is?

“Asinine” is a word that describes well Kit’s fact-free assertion that the deaths of US soldiers in Iraq are somehow preserving freedoms that Iraq has never threatened.

Well, based on the actions that you take, I can discern that you wish to see the United States overrun by jihadis. You do not take the position of “sticking up for” your own nation, but instead you trumpet the cause of suspected insurgents instead.

Kit is unable to cite any specific actions I have taken that would indicate that I “wish to see the United States overrun by jihadis”. Nor can she document any examples in which I have “trumpet[ed] the cause of suspected insurgents”.

...you have my comments linked as SPAM

I have marked none of Kit’s comments as spam. There does seem to be a problem with the spam-blocking plug-in in use on ThinkingMeat.net. When I become aware of legitimate comments that have been mistakenly marked as spam, I take steps to recover those comments. I have whitelisted Kit’s domain name and IP address. With luck, this will prevent future misunderstandings.

I apologize to Kit for any inconvenience. Should she, or anyone else, find that their comments are being marked as spam, please feel free to notify me via email.

Thanks for proving, yet again, that only liberals are allowed to have free speech.

I thank Kit for proving, yet again, that jumping to conclusions is among the most popular forms of exercise in the wingnutosphere.
