I really don't think he really meant it. It was just dark humor.

Look at the funny guy's other posts, he's serious. And, even if it were "dark humor", what's remotely funny about nuking Americans (or any civilian population)? I don't know this guy and maybe he's not a complete a^^hole but you couldn't tell that from this thread.

I posted something on this thread while pissed off about another issue. Once you hit the button you can't call it back.

I apologized. Get over it.

There is a reason why Islam is a real danger to us.

It wouldn't be more than an annoying mosquito, easily slapped if we weren't undermined by an enemy within.

Same with China, who is, outside of our own traitors, the biggest threat to our existence.

Unless we find a way to deal with the enemies within, we will be destroyed.

That is the dillemma.

We are losing that struggle.

IMO, it says a lot about the current state of the conservative movement in this country that only two of us thought this was worthy of comment – to me some of the posters on FR are as scary, or scarier, than anyone over on DU or Kos, there’s a point were “True Believers” – on the left or the right – just scare the shit of out me.

As it happens I also hang out on another board where there’s a guy who was one of the first Western journalists to cover the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and was also one of the handful of Western journalists allowed into Cambodia after the Revolution. (There’s no question he's on the level, I've gone back and read some of his articles from the period, which were published in the CSM, among other places.)

The reason he was able to cover some of these stories is because he was a *very* serious convert to Leftist causes as a young man – bought in hook, line and sinker, an *actual* “Communist Sympathizer”, or a least a supported and admirer of Marxist third world “People’s Revolutionary” movements – he was the genuine article, completely bought into the program.

Anyway, for the people who are fortunate enough to somehow break free of this sort of delusional state, there’s often a single moment when realization dawns, and for this guy it was standing on a main street in Phnom Pehn a day or two after the entire population of the city had been driven into the countryside, looking down a wide boulevard empty as far as the eye could see, while the “Minister of Information” (or whatever) extolled the virtue of the revolution

At that moment he realized just how insane it was to suppose that the depopulation of an entire city and the impending destruction of its inhabitants could somehow be justified by reduceing the entire population of the city to the evil other, or at least to a class of unimportant individuals who could be sacrificed, if need by, in the cleansing fire which would also consume their conspiratorial masters.

In the same way, when someone starts telling me that if I just understood things as well at they did I would “support” the terrorist destruction of American cities so that “the rest of us would be then be free to eradicate” some shadowy cadre of oppressors, I head the voice of a wanna’ be “Minister of Information”, US style.

And it doesn’t matter if it’s nattering the empty truisms of the Left or the Right - to me its the voice of madness and wanton destruction.
