An Invitation
I'd like to invite all of you to visit the Andrew Bolt blog - he is a conservative (ie pro-war) Australian journalist who is obviously well connected informationally. He deserves all of the grief we can deliver.
Most of us here are well practiced at bickering, and as we are supposedly on the same-ish kind of team, I thought it might be a good idea to provide a common target in order to put all of the acrimony to some productive use.
Rule number one: Watch and listen.
Rule number two: Don't make a fool of yourself, or us.
Rule number three: Make the callous little prick squirm.
Here is his latest entry:

Each of these deaths is tragic, but here’s something odd - or odd if you let yourself be spooked by apocalyptic reporting on Iraq.
The fighting in Iraq has in fact not caused the number of US dead to rise to historically high levels even when compared to years of “peace”.
Note further that half the US military deaths from 2003 did not occur in Iraq at all. To be blunt: Too many soldiers - and civilians - are undoubtedly dying in Iraq, but this is not a particularly bloody war for the US military.
This report also puts the lie to a long-popular claim of the Left - that America’s white politicians make black soldiers do the dying.
Of the 3480 American soldiers to die on duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2693 were white.

I pointed out the discrepancy between the US death toll and the Iraqi death toll (running at 300 to one, as it is) in the comment I made. Mostly the comments on his blog make me want to vomit, so I only read as much of them as I have to.
Andrew Bolt deserves to feel constant pain for all of the damage he does to the people who listen to him.
Help make it so, if it takes your fancy.
better to put our energies to good use instead of bickering with eachother.

"Money" has no value - people do.
Excellent idea.
..someone should send poissydon &co to count his terds and make sure they're in order, lol!
..howabout it? there are many goofball war-propaganda-hawks that really deserve whatever they get!
I quite like your idea
Indeed...

What all the anti-Zionist sites should (or maybe could) try to do is to coordinate the efforts of their members to put pressure on the media every time it says or writes something ridiculous about Israel. That is exactly what the ADL does with anything that is said against Israel or that might be interpretated as not complementary to Israel. The ADL has a huge web or activists all over the world who are just waiting there to launch any attack on a personality, or channel or newspaper etc... as per the specific instructions they get. The minute a US personality says something that might be critical of Israel, all the ADL has to do is give the signal... and the attack starts. Anti-Semitism, holocaust... you name it...
"we" should have a counter force.. or at least someone on "our side" should build such a force, especially in the US because here in the Middle East, we can say anything we want about Israel. Everybody hates it.
..yah, we'll call it the Anti-Shamitism League, lol.
