Karl Rove is gone, but Bush is still pulling brilliant rope-a-dope maneuvers. His apparently insensitive comparison now has the left falling all over themselves trying to canonize Ho Chi Minh and declare the fall of Saigon the first great victory of kind and loving Communism over the evils of US democracy. To think, Donkey Kong himself challenged us three months ago to find even one single leftist who supported evil Communist dictators like Minh. Here's you a mirror, take a good long look. Wow.

I mean, isn't this just the point of view Neo's satirizing, using her analogy of the Holocaust for this "Everything just worked out fine, just a few thousand dead is all!" attitude. If the comment wasn't a joke, Schnargley himself is a joke. (And, certainly dumber than Bush.) Just singing loudly, "Obalah-dee/oblah-dah/life goes ON!/la-la-la-la-la-la life goes ON!" doesn't make the bad stuff go away, and it certainly doesn't ensure that life will go on.

Seriously, you should write a book about this. Neo, I’ve greatly enjoyed your recent articles about Vietnam, and its aftermath.

Perhaps Hirsh truly believes that the Left is fighting for prosperity and human progress. Which would make him rather the fool, now wouldn't it.

Getting rid of the best half of humanity is what the Left specializes in.

I’m with Hirsh.

Congratulations on joining death row.

They are nihilists, and they have failed to capture half the world’s attention as communism and socialism once did.

Hirsih’s problem is that he thinks the Islamic Jihad are nihilists. They’re not nihilists, rather the Left are nihilists, which is sort of the problem.

The belief that there is nothing worth fighting for, is a Leftist malaise.

Many in the media and in academia seem to be honor graduates of such programs.

The Soviets did good work, for as long as they lasted anyhow.
