Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

So the camera-person found a clot of ten angry people. Posed the group in an angry looking manner, then said- “Action”!
If this was a real mob, the camera would not be so close to the offended individuals. The offended, peaceful agitators might wreck the $10,000 camera and maybe stomp the operator.
Either that, or this is the mosh pit at a middle eastern lulululu concert.
Gives new meaning to the phrase, ?
Gives new meaning to the phrase, “They all look alike,” doesn’t it? Thanks for giving credit to this consummate performer, but he’s only a small part of the team. He has handlers, make-up guys, and I’ll even bet the guy that took the pics looks the same each time. Gaddd, whadda dork.
Why are we losing the public relations battle against such morons, psychopaths and mental defectives, and why didn’t anyone catch on to this charade Snapped Shot?
Now, bring on the ambulances with missile hits in the rook and green-helmet-with-dead-baby guy for an encore. It’s all theater — bad theater at that – and AP/AFP/Reuters are eating it up.
Huge thanks for turning me on to Snapped Shot, Lex.

Couldn’t help but notice the uncanny resemblance to the faces on the college(?) girls along Pres. Nixon’s inaugural parade route in 1973…I’ll bet the epithets are similar too…
I think rage boy and his buddies just need a good A$$ kicking. A platoon of Marines should be more than enough.

Take a good look. Thirteen centuries of totalinarist aggression are there in the eyes. The faces have changed but the song remains the same. Behold the adversary.
GEO6,
Ahh…. someone just needs to invite those fellers over some pulled-pork barbecue and cold beer. Then beat the living shite outta them.
Colonel, you speak true. They’ve had centuries to nurse their alledged greivances, nurter hate and political impotence. Plus they live in such a sun-seared land to start with.
Our folks over here have forgotten the lessons of the “enlightenment”. Our ancestors valued highly reasoned debate, diplomacy and the natural give-and-take of an intelligent and thoughtful society. They also knew the value of a well-trained and better-armed military.
Negotiations can never be a one-way street. The better word for that brand of talk is capitulation. I’m not ready for that, thank you very much.
Respects,
Gee whiz — I’ve been wandering the intertubes and lo and behold, Rage Boy is truly a busy fellow. I hadn’t heard about him before, but it seems he’s even busier than Green Helmet Guy or Grieving Woman.
They must really think we’re dumb not to notice the same guy in many and diverse kinds of photos. They definitely have their A game going for propaganda and stoopid news stringers. I wonder if he gets paid by the picture, or by how often it’s published?
AW1Tim,
Now you know you can’t have pulled pork barbecue and cold beer and say shite. The proper terminology for that venue is sheeeeit!!
I have always dreamed of having those large angry mobs infiltrated and then targeted. Nothing stops future gatherings like an FAE or 2 2000lb JDAMs. Poof they get their wish to meet Allah.
T1-

Or being infiltrated by a bratwurst vendor.
AW1T-
Endless Jihad, man.

I’ve heard that stability will improve when the Shinolite factions take over after the demise of the Shiites. Trouble is I can’t see any differences between either.
Looks like much of their problem is the result of insufficient pork-pulling if you ask me. They are gonna be a few six-packs short of their 72 Virgins.

Snork — you said Shinolite — snork.
I still wondering where they get the 72 virgins each from. Do they have to be human, do you know?
I still like my passive/agressive method best — pray everywhere so that no place can be there’s alone. That’s probably why the Saudis don’t allow non-Muslims into Mecca — don’t want the whole place contaminated with prayers to the wrong diety/ies, since they consider Christians polythiests. You know, that three-in-one deal can be so difficult to wrap your brain around when you don’t really try.
Although, a JDAM or two wouldn’t be amiss either, T1.
Still… you said Shinolite! *snerk*snork*heh*
No JDAM on a moving crowd folks..I offer you Mr. LGB. Here you go Therapist:
