"I have seen this anger before," you wrote, "back in the Vietnam War era." No, sir, you have not. You hearken back to rock-throwing days in Vietnam, and lament hatred and rage. But you do not see that those days are quaint by comparison. . . .

Wee Willie, I was in college when you were in diapers (and no, I'm not talking about that party last week when you got so schnockered).

Pitt, you don't know what the heck you are talking about. In the late '60s and early '70s, the tensions and animosities in this country over Vietnam were ten--no, fifty--times worse and more widespread than what we are seeing now. There's no comparison, and for several factors (number of body bags, the draft, etc.).

Good thing you are a former history teacher, Pitt, and not just because of the girls in the schoolyard.

From the photo it looks as if Pitt's off-centered nose has met up with a fist or two in his past.

That photograph was made last year, just before the Bostonian Idiot took a trip to Crawford, Texas, to see whatwashername, that madwoman who stayed in a ditch.

The Bostonian Idiot had proclaimed in DUmmieland that he was going incognito, indistinguishable from the residents of the area.

Yeah, right, the Bostonian Idiot probably fit right in with all those Texas cowboys.....

[franksolich]

Will Pitt doesn't write very well.

Obviously.

The quaint early-19th-century word boryborygmous was invented to describe people such as the Bostonian Idiot.

[PJ-Comix]

Pitt's D.C. protest last September fizzled out and he is claiming there is more anger now than in the '60s? (Disclaimer: Pied Piper Pitt never EVER had any contact whatsoever with the communist A.N.S.W.E.R. comrades despite the fact that his PDA organization worked closely with A.N.S.W.E.R. to organize that non-event.)

[franksolich]

Good thing you are a former history teacher, Pitt, and not just because of the girls in the schoolyard.

I believe the Bostonian idiot was a substitute teacher--which meant he babysat all sorts of high school classes--with an emphasis on literature.

The Bostonian Idiot apparently does not have a college degree in teaching, but in literature.

Under Massachusetts law (and Nebraska law too), any B.A. or B.S. in any subject is qualified to be a substitute teacher in grade school and high school, but it does not allow one to become a permanent teacher.

The Bostonian Idiot had probably majored in literature hoping for a Bore Vidal-like writing career, and just as profitable, but that never happened, and so obviously he had to resort to those two- or three-days-a-week paychecks one gets from temporary work.

It's a good bet the Bostonian Idiot is a pretty lucky beneficiary of George Bush's tax policies, because probably the Bostonian Idiot gets the EIC (earned income credit), which for some is no small potatoes.

[Charles Henrickson]

The war in Vietnam, barbaric as it was, did not inspire tens of thousands of Vietnamese to join martyr's brigades.

Well, yeah, Pitt, actually it did. There were lots of Viet Cong who willingly went to their sure death. And just because the Muzzies are even crazier and more cowardly than the VC, so what?

"The man in the black pajamas, Dude. Worthy f***in’ adversary."

"From the photo it looks as if Pitt's off-centered nose has met up with a fist or two in his past."

I hope so.

Had to look it up:

Noun
borborygmus

A rumbling sound made by the movement of gas in the intestines.
Translations
French: borborygme m.

borborygmus

Noun

1. A rumbling sound made by the movement of gas in the intestines.

Yep, that's Pitt...

[Charles Henrickson]

The war in Vietnam . . . did not threaten to unleash chaos in a part of the world that holds the economic lifeblood of our whole existence. It did not threaten to shake loose nuclear weapons from quasi-rogue states like Pakistan.

The war in Vietnam did threaten to unleash millions of Chicoms swarming over their borders. It did threaten to shake loose nuclear weapons from a super-power like the Russkies.

Pitt, you have no clue.

>>>>but also served to stop the killing in Southeast Asia...

I guess former school teachers from New England don't get made to pull out a world map and give it a second glance. Last time I checked, Cambodia was, in fact, in SE Asia. It seems to me, that one or two people died there, well after we were through fighting in Vietnam.

[Charles Henrickson]

your characterization of the anti-war crowd tells me you have not spent a single moment out in the streets with them. I have.

Yeah, all six of them.

[Charles Henrickson]

I have.

Here comes the "I . . I . . . I" parade.

[MadIvan]

Verbose, isn't he?

"Pied Piper Pitt" obviously missed the line in Hamlet which states that brevity is the soul of wit. I would add that excessive verbiage is obviously a mask for idiocy.

Regards, Ivan

[Choose Ye This Day]

Just a few...MILLION.

[Choose Ye This Day]

They could meet in a phone booth if there were any phone booths any more

Yes, but can you imagine the stench?

[Charles Henrickson]

Pitt went down to Texas (where he got eaten alive by fire ants for stupidly wearing shorts and sandals outside) to supposedly spend time in the ditch with Cindy Sheehan. In reality, it was just a publicity drive-by where Pitt spent his night at motel with A/C. After about 36 hours of garnering PUBLICITY for himself by glomming onto to Sheehan's star, Pitt split.

MAKE ME KNOWN, COUNTRY ROAD
Tune: "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Almost hades, Crawford Texas
Bush Ranch protest, Sheehan doin' talk shows
Press is out there, underneath the tree
Lookin' for some talkers, might as well be me

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road

All my DUmmies rally round me
Mindless, lazy, looking for a leader
Read my bloggings, written on the fly
Boring waste of bandwidth, glazing of the eye

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road

I wear a hat, in the mirror I see Eastwood
The ladies on DU think I'm hot when I pose
But sweatin' in the sun I get the feelin'
That I should have worn some lighter clothes, lighter clothes

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road
Make me known, country road
Make me known, country road . . .

[Charles Henrickson]

millions of people are staggered. . . .

One patron of Bukowski's is staggered, quite regularly.

[Charles Henrickson]

It can be summed up in one run-on sentence. . . .

Usually Pitt takes two or three run-on sentences to sum things up.

[Charles Henrickson]

we must contemplate the staggering depth of the hole we have been hurled down into

As he approaches the john at Bukowski's, Pitt must stagger to contemplate the depth of the hole he has to hurl into.
