December 21, 2006Merry Christmas, Infidels!!by Armed Liberal at December 21, 2006 1:00 AM
I'm kinda ashamed of laughing at this, but I do believe that one source of power in the West comes from our willingness to mock any and everything. It keeps us from freezing views and opinions - it's hard to lock in beliefs when people are free to laugh at them. And besides, it just made me laugh. From Scrappleface, Ayman al-Zawahiri's Christmas Video:

If the CIA were any good, this would have been translated into every Asian language by morning. Nice job! One day, G-d willing, we'll see a real one.

That should have come with a spew alert attached!! LOL!! It would have been even better (but obviously much more effort) to have someone dub in a voice saying the same thing in Arabic, and just use the original video.

it never ceases to amaze me what the deathbloggers find funny. Sure, its an amusing concept for about 30 seconds, but it just turns into Xtian proselytising after that. (Its also an insult to Islam (and hence, one is not surprised that so many here will find it amusing), in that it suggests that to question the killing of civilians is to question the Koran itself, and that only Christianity finds killing of civilians to be unacceptable. luka - "it never ceases to amaze me what the deathbloggers find funny." As opposed to the suicidebloggers? What is it with your team and the childish insults? And why in the world would I engage in serious discussion with someone who makes them? A.L.

It never surprises me that the left has no sense of humor. Unhinged anger just doesnt allow much room for it. teh funney runs strong in people like Luka......not! Happy Hanukkah

What an asshat Luka is!
#12 from corvan at 12:04 am on Dec 22, 2006
Luka, It takes a special sort to defend the dignity of a man who happily commands suicide bombers, not a good sort, just a special sort.
#13 from Robin Roberts at 1:04 am on Dec 22, 2006
Luka,

I find the video neither offensive nor funny. A little amusing perhaps after the first few comments but then it drags on waaay to long with very little comic payoff. This is a political website, however, so I must think there must be a message in here somewhere, either knowingly or unknowingly. For example, my idea of high comedy is watching Jon Stewart reduce Bill Kristol into a simpering wuss the other night on TV who was incapable of sustaining any coherent defense of his ridiculous, radical and violent views beyond playing the "poor picked-on Neocon" victim card. What an intellectual pansy. And funny too!

Whoa, Andy X, simmering wuss? intellectual pansy? Sounds like too much funny for me!!! Remind me to avoid you at social gatherings this Xmas. Deathblogger? Not that nice Mr. Danziger next door, with the lovely family? Is that what goes on in there, is deathblogging? Oh, it's always the quiet ones ... Merry Pagan Sulk Day, luka. It's an insult to Islam to have over-excited heathens like you leaping to its defense. Thank God [1] you're their problem and not mine. [1] That would be the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for you uncivilized types.
#17 from Andy X at 2:25 am on Dec 22, 2006
That's simpering wuss, archy my boy. And don't worry about avoiding me at all those Xmas parties you'll be attending. I celebrate Festivus.
#18 from Andy X at 2:25 am on Dec 22, 2006
That's simpering wuss, archy my boy. And don't worry about avoiding me at all those Xmas parties you'll be attending. I celebrate Festivus. BTW, luka - Your reflexive use of terms like "Xtian" has confirmed what I have long suspected; namely, that you are in fact Paul Lukasiak. Unless you are an inferior forgery of Lukasiak, done with Microsoft Word perhaps.
#20 from PD Shaw at 3:20 am on Dec 22, 2006
Paul Lukasiak? But that cat's been banned. Surely he couldn't have found a way to circumnavigate the site's defenses!
#21 from Marshal Nortius "Big Tuna" Maximus at 5:46 am on Dec 22, 2006
Glen: thanks for the suggestion. Data collection is ongoing. Luka, I've banned your IP pending resolution of the question - are you Paul L.? Feel free to email me if you're not him. A.L. I wasn't asking that he be banned, but I have a good memory for intellectual architecture, and if that's not Lukasiak then I'm Mary Mapes. In the unlikely event that I am Mary Mapes, please delete everything that I've ever posted.
#24 from Andy X at 2:40 pm on Dec 22, 2006
#23 My guess would have been that you're actually Mary Matalin. Glen - Lukasiak was already banned. People who are banned should go away, not start commenting under a pseud. A.L. "And don't worry about avoiding me at all those Xmas parties you'll be attending. I celebrate Festivus." Well Andy, I guess you're welcome to have a seat and let us all tell you how much you've dissapointed us over the past year! (grin) Kristol is way smarter that Stewart. Stewart is simply the better showman. Good for him. Hope you liked it -- neocon getting his dignity based in on live TV! Gladiator fights at 11! Like Andy, I found the first little bit funny, then it got old in a hurry. Sure the long-winded attack on Islam touched a lot of really great questions "Why would God use suicide bombers against children to create his law here on Earth?" but it ended up more preachy than funny. But I laughed a bit at first, so it was worth the click.
#27 from Snowflake at 3:47 pm on Dec 22, 2006
But Luka was always so much fun to have around! Like the guy that always comes to the party, gets loaded, shoots off his mouth about stuff intended to get people fired up, and then pukes on your couch. Or your girlfriend. Maybe I have a messed up definition of fun. Funny video, though. Merry Christmas and Hanukkah to the believers out there. Get a life, to that guy who celebrates Festivus. Regards.
#28 from Andy X at 5:42 pm on Dec 22, 2006
Daniel: Of course, here I am, type away. As long as we proceed directy to Feats of Strength afterword.

Al-Qaeda offers US safe passage from IraqFrom correspondents in Dubai "We call on (President George W.) Bush not to waste this historic opportunity," said the speaker, identified as Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, head of the so-called Islamic State in Iraq, which was announced in October by al-Qaeda and groups affiliated to it. The speaker said Washington would have two weeks to accept the offer. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20967589-1702,00.html# I bet a lot of Cut & Run Dems in Congress & MSM would accept this offer.
#30 from h0mi at 10:48 pm on Dec 22, 2006
When was Lukasiak banned and why? Just curious is all. Do a search in the site search window, and you'll se the post that was all about it. A.L.
