Meet the Press in Hell

Funny you bring the subject up. Via the BBC:

Militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has announced.

“Today we have eliminated Zarqawi,” Mr Maliki said, sparking sustained applause. The US said he was killed in an air raid near Baquba.

The Jordanian-born leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq was considered the figurehead of the Sunni insurgency.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq has been blamed for scores of bombings that have killed hundreds of Shias and US forces.

His death does not mean either the Islamist al-Qaeda elements or nationalist fighters will give up, says the BBC News website’s world affairs correspondent, Paul Reynolds.

Indeed his removal might well bring about an explosion of revenge by his followers, he adds.

It’s almost as if they think killing Zarqawi was a bad thing. Something about making sure both sides are treated the exact same, I’m sure.

Of all the trolls I’ve seen on various blogs, jet seems to be the most likely to be an actual paid Republican operative.

– Nobody ever agrees with what he has to say, ever. Not even conservatives.
– He never agrees with what anyone has said before him – not even agreeing with other conservatives, even when many previous conservatives have been saying similar things to each other. He always says some completely new thing, as if he’s been waiting for some tangentially related thread to say it in.
– He always uses talking points.
– He always tries to completely change the topic of the debate from a topic that favors Democrats to a topic that favors Republicans.
– He responds to every single thread that is remotely political, extremely reliably.
– He uses the same faux-polite, sarcastic tone of everybody on Fox News and talk radio.

Seeing as we’re being mean to Jet, I’d like to add that he (if indeed he is a he)also has a habit (tactic?) of posting comments in which words are strung together in apparent meaning but which, on further analysis, are either completely meaningless or irrelevant to the topic on hand. And no, I have no intention whatsoever of substantiating this with examples. Do your own research. If he is getting paid to post comments though, good for him. Such an eloquent waste of time should be rewarded somehow.

Accepting at face value Mr. Christ’s claim to omnipotent godhood, very obviously he DID nail himself to that cross . . .

“So, let me see if I follow. You’re an omnipotent being, you can walk on water and bring the dead back to life, you can flood the world or part the sea, you made their be light and you separated the heavens from the earth… but you couldn’t stop these guys from nailing you to a cross? What kind of sick pervert are you anyway?”

I know, it’s the old problem of satire being unable to keep up with reality (or ‘reality’).
Once you get as far as “You’re an omnipotent being, you can walk on water and bring the dead back to life, you can flood the world or part the sea, you made there be light and you separated the heavens from the earth…” it’s hard to find something more ridiculous to end the sentence with.

Kieren,
You put up a post mocking the media for being crappy and on the day one of the most despicable humans in the media is permanently restrained from orchestrating school bus massacres and other terrorist type endeavors, the famous Paul Reynolds does his best to rain on everyone’s parade. He wasn’t alone, ABC making sure Nicholas Berg’s dad got some airtime saying how wrong it was to kill Zarqawi and other such bemoaning Zarqawi’s death in the media. In other words, it was a good day to mock the media. I mean, get a grip, doesn’t your linked article start out like this

Imagine if you will a network news program where the host believes that his obligation as a journalist is to place evil on the same footing as good (so that evil will stop complaining about how the media always favors good).

For some reason I didn’t think my comment conflicted with your post, rather it complemented it.

abb1, would it be possible to row a boat on a lake covered in ice thick enough to take a man’s weight?

abb1, he is his dad. So he parted the sea, walked on water, sent himself down to earth, asked himself if he had to get himself killed, and now he sits at his own right hand. In some sort of revolving chair, I guess.
He’s also some sort of flying headless dove, apparently. I guess everyone has to find their kicks somewhere.

The ‘he is his dad’ thing always gets me confused.

Wait, the wikipedia has a nice little diagram here – apparently his is not his dad… You’re messing with my head, man…

“Of all the trolls I’ve seen on various blogs, jet seems to be the most likely to be an actual paid Republican operative.”

A dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
