Support NeoGAF

[Mandark]

teh_pwn: Stop using the word neocon until you know what it means. Read this.

The neocons weren't the ones pushing the Terri Schiavo hoopla. Using that term when it's not appropriate just confuses discussion. It's not just a generic pejorative.

Hito: Reagan's nomination/election has to be up there, too. His 1980 platform was much, much more conservative than what he actually got done. But yeah, the Limbaugh wing probably didn't gain a stranglehold until '94.

really? when? I had no idea such a thing happened.

You hear quality news like this on The Daily Show. As Jon Stewart added, "To be fair, the law does make inability to pay a reason for removing life support. Excuse me a moment." at which point he began to scream and was replaced by a technical difficulties screen.

well, on top of my television is a set of rabbit ears so I miss out on a lot of quality programming. :/

Bah why stop at impeachment?

Not to be outdone, lawyer-author Edwin Vieira told the gathering that Kennedy should be impeached because his philosophy, evidenced in his opinion striking down an anti-sodomy statute, "upholds Marxist, Leninist, satanic principles drawn from foreign law."

Ominously, Vieira continued by saying his "bottom line" for dealing with the Supreme Court comes from Joseph Stalin. "He had a slogan, and it worked very well for him, whenever he ran into difficulty: 'no man, no problem,' " Vieira said.

The full Stalin quote, for those who don't recognize it, is "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem." Presumably, Vieira had in mind something less extreme than Stalin did and was not actually advocating violence. But then, these are scary times for the judiciary. An anti-judge furor may help confirm President Bush's judicial nominees, but it also has the potential to turn ugly.
