6. maybe. Someone had said that to me in another thread as if
it were an insult. I was decrying the needless death of 34 children, and war in general as well as that action specifically.
and I thought, "hell, yeah, I'm PROUD to be on the left and claim to be for peace".

because the opposite would be......?

9. I'll sign the Gitmo guest book
And go a little further in that I've actually stood unarmed before military folks while proclaiming peace, understanding and reconciliation.

10. And yet you say things like this.
oh, don't worry, they always sleep well

after a midnight slurping at the trough of innocent blood.
Its what they live for.

11. thank you!
Edited on Mon Jul-31-06 09:51 AM by Lerkfish
that had been deleted.

You DO realize that was referring to Condi Rice playing piano while the war raged, right?
that has been mistakenly perceived to mean I was referring to Isreal.

Thanks for helping me to clarify that.

on edit: I'm confused though how that's inconsistent with being on the left and being for peace.
If I feel warmongers like Condi Rice thrive on innocent blood, wouldn't that be in keeping with being anti-war?
where's the inconsistency?

12. here's the exact exchange:
Edited on Mon Jul-31-06 10:18 AM by Lerkfish
The OP said:

Gee Condi, hope your piano recital went well. By the way, the 'not wanting an immediate ceasefire', just snuffed out the lives of THIRTY SEVEN CHLDREN.

Have a nice day. Hope you sleep well.

to which my response was:

oh, don't worry, they (meaning neocons) always sleep well

after a midnight slurping at the trough of innocent blood.
Its what they live for.

some people, like you, have misinterpreted that to mean Isreal, when CLEARLY its referring to the OP's reference to Condi sleeping well. thanks for posting the deleted post so I could clear that up.
