The Immutable Genius of Powerline
Boy, those Powerline guys sure know how to rip into someone...they use all kinds of logic and thinking and stuff. It must be their legal training...or perhaps they're just heady from all the top-quality industrial grade bullshit they've fueling themselves with for the last five years.

Stockholm Syndrome
What is it with liberals who leave the country and immediately start to encourage anti-American sentiment abroad?
Yeah, really! Because, as I'm sure Mr. H can tell you, liberals never ever do that sort of thing in-country.
This time it's Al Gore, who talked to reporters in Sweden. The news headlines are about Gore vowing that he isn't running for President, but here's the rest of what he said:
When asked how the United States would have been different if he had become president, though, he had harsh criticism for Bush's policies.
"We would not have invaded a country that didn't attack us," he said, referring to Iraq. "We would not have taken money from the working families and given it to the most wealthy families."
"We would not be trying to control and intimidate the news media. We would not be routinely torturing people," Gore said. "We would be a different country.
Damn him! Damn him to Hell!
"Routinely torturing people"--is that enemy propaganda, or the official position of the Democratic Party? Is there still a difference?
"Enemy propaganda" Indeed.
And, no John, there isn't a difference. We are your enemy. Hey, stop laughing, John! Really, I mean it!
If we're routinely torturing people, then why do those who get caught go to jail?
Best defense of torture ever. Hey, we can't be routinely torturing prisoners if the people we catch routinely torturing prisoners go to jail! It must be true because I'm a lawyer! And a conservative! Clocks are big! Machines are heavy!
And don't Gore and other liberals who travel abroad realize how much they are damaging the United States by recycling this nonsense?
The administration is trying to "control and intimidate the news media." Sure, we've all seen how intimidated the media are. That's why they never say anything critical of the administration.
Never.
And I know because I'm a lawyer! And a conservative!
It would be more accurate to say that the media have tried to control and intimidate the Bush administration.
Through the sinister agency of operatives like Jeff Gannon.
And I like the one about "taking money from working families and giving it to the most wealthy families."
Because I'm a lawyer! And a conservative!
Sure, I remember the surtax Congress imposed to support the rich. Just once, I'd like to see a reporter ask Gore or some other liberal what in the world he's talking about when he makes that kind of statement. (You'd think the press would do it, too, since they're so intimidated by President Bush.)
Oh flippancy, thy name is Powerline! Gee, I guess because Congress didn't specifically impose a surtax to support the rich, the whole idea that the republicans are taking money from working families and giving it to the most wealthy is nonsense.
And John? Perhaps he's talking about this. Or this. Or maybe this.
Actually, though, Al Gore is one of the few rich Americans who really is supported by taxes paid by working families, since he receives a federal pension for his service in the Senate and as Vice-President. If he really means what he says, all he has to do is refund his pension to the federal treasury. What do you think the chances are he's doing that?
Yeah, sure, like there's a member of congress that recieves a salary paid for by working families and isn't a millionaire. One of the few, indeed.

Testify!
Wait, did he mean the nonsense that we routinely torture our enemies, or the nonsense that we can't be routinely torturing our enemies because whenever we catch someone toruring our enemies, they go to jail?
For the rest, it's the usual parallel universe of the Democratic Party.
Yes, the parallel universe where routine torture isn't routine when the people who routinely torture our enemies are routinely sent to jail. The parallel universe where water is actually wet, up is not down, and non-brain damaged people routinely point and laugh at clowns like J. Hinderaker.
