righto. the reason it is significant that this is happening under the obama administration is that the ultra-right imagines there's a benefit to be derived from it. that's all there is to it. if it were otherwise we'd be talking about these leaks in context and linking the actions of this administration to the largely criminal actions of the bush administration and finding that the obama administration, while centrist and problematic for that in many ways, is a VAST improvement over the clownshow that was the bush administration. but that discussion would not rebound to the benefit of the right, so they want to impose a different conversation, one based on not remembering things and false premises and, basically, stupidity. but that's how the right rolls. stupid shit for stupid people. like a pie made from stupid.
i'm not going to waste my time on most of dogzilla's nitwit points...the exception is: i think the shangai scrap blog piece is interesting. i think it raises an interesting angle. it's something to consider. *but* i also noted it was a blog piece (duh)...and i also noted that all i know about the writer is the self-identification he provides (duh)...and i posted the piece with the caveat that it is an interpretation (duh) based on information this person has access to anecdotally (duh) that allows for the cables that he specifically cites to be situated and various plausible meanings or implications to be drawn from them. so it's a maybe window onto why state is reacting as they are.
but rather than address the information and/or reasoning, you, dogzilla, attack the source in a one-dimensional way as if that's adequate.
it isn't.
try a bit harder.
sheesh, the intellectual laziness that's acceptable amongst conservatives...amazing....
it's also kinda funny, in a stomach turning kinda way, that the right feels it's ok to attach assange personally as if that takes care of the content of what wikileaks has released. facile, stupid business it seems like to me. like you'd rather believe that he is personally responsible for the information in the way people used to think walter cronkite personally made up the news. because he's the face of delivery.
fucking grow up.
jesus.
