Prove it.

kay i gotta go play with the big kids now.

Kingbee, your personal opinion about Sistani is strange, to say the least.

I see a great religious leader of Islam who does his best to promote peace and tolerance.

You see a self-serving power-hungry egoist and compare him to that impostor Sadr (who is no cleric at all).

I don't know why exactly you don't trust Sistani, but I am sure your opinion is based on ignorance.

I for one respect Sistani, his position and his acts demand such respect and he deserves it.

The last time I heard a politician say the N-Word was Byrd

the most recent use i've seen was yours. i'm truly sorry i quoted it in my response (i've so far been able to avoid doing that and it's only cuz i'm running really late that i didn't see it til it was too late).

disgusting, but i guess ill have to live with it rather than compromising another personal commitment by altering or deleting comments

kay i gotta go play with the big kids now.

Oh, you mean your racist masters? Dont forget to lick their boots! They like that.

Hey stupid! I am not a politician. Or are you so dense you have no idea of what that is?

the first part is right. the rest is just more BS.

a lotta people thought khomeini was a much better alternative to the shah and his brutal savak. he was also considered a great muslim leader.

i didn't compare al-sistani to al-sadr. al-sadr is years away from being as clever as sistani. i doubt hell live half as long as he'd need to e a match for the master.

I don't know why exactly you don't trust Sistani, but I am sure your opinion is based on ignorance.

maybe because most extremely powerful men are dangerous...10 x more dangerous when they're as astute as sistani. you can disparage my ignorance as often as you feel the need. when you get bored, feel free to check out these two links.

this one will take you to an article i posted during the summer of 2004 on the day al-sadr's militia moved outta the mosque in najaf. Link despite your assurances that the grand ayatollah is on our side, i don't believe he will receive or speak directly to any american regardless of office, portfolio, rank or mission.

look in the last sentence, third graph for a link Link to sistani's official spiritual advice website.

figures. i can only imagine how impressed you are by good ol ahmadinejad.

Show me where I used it on my own and not quoting others

this reminds me of one of my lil sisters at about age 9 going totally batshit when my parents punished her for vulgar language. for days, annie tried steadfastly if futilely to make them understand she was really saying 'bullship...bullSHIP....BULLSHIP'

you've hadda good run, but people are finally beginning to call you more--and more often--on your incessant 'i know you are, but what am i?' sorryass schoolyard sophistry.

frequent quotes of racist remarks lead me to conclude the person doing the quoting is motivated by any opportunity to indulge himself in a cheap forbidden hateful thrill.

I used secular Humanism which just torpedoed your argument without using God.

as much as i'm sure i'll regret asking...what the hell are you goin on about? is this part of your top-secret plan to build space vehicles outta old cannister vacuum cleanrs?

Republicans say this they are liars, warmongers, and "neocons". Democrats say it and they are "victims" who didn't realize what they were saying.

Obviously you are correct here--the Democrats in particular should be ashamed for believing such hype. But your blog quote, whether said by a democrat or republican is immaterial, Saddam did not "sponsor state terrorism"--his internal terrorism notwithstanding--simply because he gave $25,000 to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers after not before. The rest of the quote could be said of many other dictators, especially of North Korea and Iran.

Furthermore, the escalation of WMD is a given for most countries that are fearful of western might.

Hey stupid! I am not a politician. Or are you so dense you have no idea of what that is?

hey stupid! did i say you were a politician? or are you reading what isn't there again?

hey stupid! did i say you were a politician?

I said politicians, and you then pointed the finger at me. By implication, you are calling me a politician, so your analogy is false or stupid. your choice.

a lotta people thought khomeini was a much better alternative to the shah and his brutal savak. he was also considered a great muslim leader.

Considered by whom?

Khomeini was famous and known for rather different positions and actions than Sistani.

I guess what you are saying is that all Shi'ites are more or less the same, or at least that all Shi'ite clerics are the same. Never mind that Iraqi Shi'ites fought with Saddam against Iran, never mind cultural differences between Arabs and Iranians. Suddenly they are all the same, one as evil and untrustworthy as the other.

Great!

That is just a myopic problem of the american Liberal. They think once they pigeon hole someone by race, color or creed, they then can speak for all of those of that race color or creed.

never mind that the iraq defense minister has already signed a military cooperation pact with iran. forget the fact that iran is contributing a billion dollars to iraq.

if you spent less time trying to invent a non-existent connection between neo-nazis and the left, you might notice real threats...like iraqi military commanders publicly stating they won't fight other shiites or the recent discovery of a new generation of ieds, designed in iran for use in iraq against our military.

as opposed to the myopic problem of the party which continues to reap the benefits of their southern strategy developed by strom 'i never met a white man i didn't like at least a lil more than a non-white man' thurmond

As opposed to Sheets Byrd? Maybe we can swap current stories of racist behaviour between liberals and conservatives. I will leave the kooks out of the equation, and just concentrate on the leadership.

Oops, you lose.
