As we await the President's speech tonight, a thought on this week's congressional testimony by General David Petraeus, U.S. Commander in Iraq.
When the Democrats on Capitol Hill pose and posture on Iraq, when they beat up on Petraeus, when they ask him questions and then proceed to answer them themselves, when they do all of this, they are doing only one thing:
They are all avoiding responsibility for any of it. To wit:
Hillary Clinton's tap dance about Petraeus being a puppet for an administration with a "failed policy."
Barack Obama's tap dance that the Iraq hearings shouldn't have been held on September 11th.
Chris Dodd's tap dance that the General was engaged in delusional "happy talk."
Joe Biden's tap dance that Petraeus wasn't telling the truth.
Here is what each and every one of these sanctimonious boobs should be asked. Senator Clinton/Obama/Biden/Dodd: Are you, or are you not, willing to accept the consequences of a U.S. pullout?
That's what you say you want. OK. Are you prepared to accept responsibility for what comes next? The General is telling you that a premature U.S. withdrawal will lead to an epic slaughter. What are you going to do about that? If that comes to pass because of YOUR policy, are you willing to take responsibility for it?
You have spent years bashing the president for not having a post-war plan. What is your post-WITHDRAWAL plan?
What do you do when the troops come home and there is catastrophe? Are you willing to bear that responsibility?
Yes or no? It's a simple question. Is it not?

"Inmates running the asylum" iss analogous to the kind of posts swamping your blog, Monica!

Ditto.
WAKE UP MONICA! WHILE YOU FIDDLE, "BLOG" IS BURNING.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 13, 2007 at 06:09 PM
Dear Monica,
The first post above is not mine. That "Pete" is the Sociopath spammer whose real name is Jack Flynn. He once seemed like any other blogger, but over time it appears he has slowly lost his mind. We feel this might be a sort of delayed Alcoholic Toxicity reaction. I have heard this sometimes happens in Irish families with hardcore alcohol addiction/abuse over successive generations. The man needs help and it appears more serious than anything the local bloggers here can do to hold an intervention. We were hoping maybe you could step in, Monica. There has to be someone among all your poltical and celebrity contacts who can lend some assistance here. JACK FLYNN IS A VERY SICK MAN! He needs our love and understanding. But I wouldn't send anyone there to his home in Salem, MA without considerable protective wardrobe of the type Animal Control officers wear when approaching a rabid dog. I have personally witnessed him threaten to bite and sever the Achilles tendon of one of the posters on this site. This is the sign of a very extreme psychopathic condition that requires immediate attention. His violent state is surely something that must be attended to by the proper authorities before he hurts either himself or others.
Sorry I did not bring this up sooner, but I was doing some reading around the site earlier today and could not believe the things I've seen written by this man. He is truly way past borderline functional and must be inducted into intense psychotherapy ASAP. Thanks again.
Posted by: Pete | September 14, 2007 at 12:46 AM
Let me underscore what has been said before by Pete and others ..........
JACK FLYNN IS THE BIGGEST MOTHER-EFFING BASTARD WHO EVER CAME TO THIS WEBSITE. HE IS A FAILED AND FRUSTRATED ACTOR WHO IS ACTING VARIOUS PARTS HERE IN THE VAIN EFFORT TO CONTROL THE POLITICAL CONVERSATION ON THIS BLOG, SO THAT ANYONE READING IT WILL BE LEFT WITH AN IMPRESSION THAT HE WANTS TO EXIST. BUT JACK IS NOTHING BUT A SCUMBAG WHO IS PROBABLY GOING TO GET HIS NOSE KNOCKED IN BY SOME GENEROUS EX-MILITARY VOLUNTEER, FOR TRYING TO DESTROY THIS WEBSITE. JACK IS AN UGLY TROLL WHO RESPECTS NO FAMILY VALUES AND ONLY SEEKS TO MAKE MONICA LOOK BAD. HIS IMAGE IS SO HORRIBLE THAT EVEN HILLARY CLINTON LOOKS LIKE MISS AMERICA NEXT TO HIM. HE HAS NO STANDARDS JUST LIKE THE USELESS BOSTONIAN HERITAGE HE AROSE FROM. IF LIBERAL BLOGGING WERE A TERRORIST OFFENSE, THEN SURELY HE WOULD BE SENT TO GITMO. 95% OF THE POSTS ON THIS BLOG ARE HIM POSTING AND HAVING SCHIZOPHRENIC CONVERSATIONS WITH HIMSELF (LIKE LENNY ABOVE OR CHARLIE OR NIEL). HE IS SICKER THAN CHARLES MANSON AND SHOULD BE LOCKED UP IN THE NUT HOUSE WHERE HIS VARIOUS PERSONALITIES CAN INTERACT, UNFETTERED.
IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS WEBSITE AND WISH TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION, PLEASE WRITE TO MONICA AT:
mail@monicamemo.com
ASK MONICA TO INTERVENE ON BEHALF OF HER SUPPORTERS AND RID MONICAMEMO.COM OF THIS STRANGE BACTERIA WHO GOES BY THE NAME JACK FLYNN.
ALSO WRITE TO JACK AT HIS LISTED EMAIL ADDRESS. LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU DON'T APPRECIATE THE WAY HE HAS UNDERMINED ALL INTELLIGENT DISCOURSE HERE AND THAT HE MUST LEAVE OR FACE THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES:
jflynn@repub.com
DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH HIS INTERNET CRIMES. MONICA DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS. DO IT FOR HER.
OTHER PEOPLE HERE MAY WISH TO COMMUNICATE A MORE PERSONAL MESSAGE TO JACK AND SO YOU WILL NEED TO FIND HIS ADDRESS IN ORDER TO DELIVER ANY CORRESPONDENCE. YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THIS, BUT HE CAN BE FOUND UNDER HIS EXACT NAME AND CITY:
JACK F. FLYNN, Salem, MA
AND THE MAP BELOW MAY OR MAY NOT BE HELPFUL TO YOU:
http://local.infospace.com/insp/local/mapresults.htm?yvalue=&mapoperation=&navigatorchoices=&zoom=&cntlongitude=&sortorder=&xvalue=&cntlatitude=&what=jack+f.+flynn&where=Salem%2C+MA&sortBy=Name&sessionID=826de66a-dedf-4059-8fe4-43a43a04bd1b&r_fcid=30057&r_fcp=topnav&r_aid=F7678247449A4472A294ED932EEDCBA0
HERE IS A PAGE WHERE YOU CAN FIND A PICTURE OF JACK FLYNN. IT IS HARD TO MISS THE HOLLOW DEMENTED LOOK ON HIS FACE. BE CAREFUL NOT TO APPROACH THIS UNSTABLE PERSON, AS HE LIKES TO USE PHYSICAL THREATS AND BLAME IT ON HIS IRISH BACKGROUND:
http://www.funnyfiftiesstory.com
I ONCE ENJOYED READING THIS WEBSITE BUT JACK DID EVERYTHING HE COULD THINK TO DRIVE ME AWAY. I SAW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND HAVE ENABLED HIM BY MY PREVIOUS SILENCE. I AM SORRY I DID NOT SPEAK UP SOONER. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ALL COMING TO A HEAD AND MUST BE DEALT WITH OR THIS SITE WILL DECLINE INTO COMPLETE DYSFUNCTIONALITY. BUT THIS WILL NOT STAND, IF WE REFUSE TO LET THIS HAPPEN.
FORCE JACK TO LEAVE OR THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT TO READ

You bring tears to these Irish eyes Perp—some of the nicest things you have said about me yet.
But, a word of advice. I would stop using Pete's name if I were you. He is a long time poster on here and is well respected.
You wouldn't want to antagonize people, now, would you?
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 01:27 AM
I notice by the posting times that you are on here right now, Perp. Let's have a little talk, huh? Come on Perp, open up. Tell me what you really think. Speak.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 01:36 AM
Come on Perp. If you don't like the name Perp, choose another. Here is your chance. I am right here now. We can discuss all these names, which ones you think I am and which ones I think are yours.
We can discuss why you imagine that I'm gay Perp. How about that?
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 01:42 AM
Come on Perp. You can relax. I'm not gay, I'm not Niel and I'm not Pete. How is that for a starter?
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 01:46 AM
I'm waiting Perp. This may be your only chance.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 01:47 AM
A real dialog Perp, with your arch enemy. How does that sound.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 01:49 AM
Come on Perp. I haven't got all night. I'm watching a terrific movie, "Defending Your Life", with Meryl Streep and Albert Brooks.
I'll check back in ten or fifteen minutes. After that, I'm closing this thing down.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 02:00 AM
It's been real perp.
See you around the block.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 02:22 AM
I am curious, Perp, You are not stupid. You know full well that when the administrator or Monica finally does trace IP and email addresses that they will point back to you. Do you have a game plan for that eventuality? What are you going to do then? I am really curious.
Will you implode into tiny pieces? Go off a cliff? Go to bed and hide under the covers for six months? Roll yourself into a tiny ball and suck your thumb? What???
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 12:14 PM
It's a joke to post things against Jack Flynn in my name. Have some guts, whoever you are. Post things in your own name and take responsibility for them.
Posted by: Fred Klein | September 14, 2007 at 02:08 PM
Keep up the great work Monica! Looking forward to this weekend's shows!

If he had any guts Fred, he would have taken the opportunity to respond to my posts last night. His safety net is his anonymity and unless Monica and/or her associates act, he will no doubt continue to wreak havoc, put up salacious posts, drive away new posters, and usurp the identities of legitimate posters like yourself, Niel, Pete, myself and others.
For the present, all that can be done, is to counter and disclaim his posts any chance we get, as you did. It is a little like the green bug season in Ipswich Mass. They have their season, do their biting, and eventually die off, or move on. This guy is like the last green bug who likes his spot in the sand and is hanging on until the very end.
All said, if he had only been a nuisance and my good name had not been under attack, I would have found another blog to post on long ago. But, I refuse to allow him to blacken my name and will fight that vigorously until he leaves or something is done about him.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 03:26 PM
Back to Monica's post: As long as we pro-long the battle in Iraq and waste our resources there, (human and financial), our country will continue to rot from within in terms of homeland security, aging infrastructure, crime and violence, prisons bursting at the seams, lack of health care for millions of Americans, polluted waters, unsafe food entering the market place, inadequate job protection for our workers, etc. etc.
We risk making Bin Laden's statement, that we will go the route of Soviet Russia, come true.
Democrats and Republicans are giving the wrong reasons for pulling out of Iraq. It is not cutting and running. It is for self preservation that we should leave them to solve their own problems. We have pressing tasks that directly affect our long term survival that must be attended to here at home. We need the manpower and we need the billions upon billions of dollars that we are spending over there.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 03:58 PM
The so-called moral argument, that if we leave Iraq prematurely, they will massacre each other, is utterly disingenuous. Aside from the fact that they are already massacring each other, we are letting people die like flies in Darfur. I don't hear many war enthusiasts complaining about that.

Have a nice evening Niel and your good wife as well.
I'll pop in here from time to time to keep an eye out for the Perp smearing you, me, or anyone else. I'm bored too with all the goings on, but can't allow the desecration of good names.
Take care
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 14, 2007 at 10:22 PM
Thanks Bro, Niel..SEMPER..FI
Posted by: Niel | September 15, 2007 at 05:50 PM
I am the Great Pretender...... I accuse others of the very thing of which I myself have been guilty for the last two years. I've done all I can to ruin Monica's site and what I cannot accomplish myself, I manage to do through my aliases. Lately my favorites are Niel and Fred, but I can invent new ones at any time, so keep an eye out. See how I call Monica "Peroxide" using Niel's name, then pretend I am an upstanding member of this blog, under my own true name? Pretty devious of me, eh? You see, I don't have any guts to tell Monica what I really think of her under my real name because I am an Irish coward. This is the real condition of most Irishmen, by the way. We need a drink for courage. That's a fact. But the upshot is that I know Monica could kick my rear end into next week, so I would never challenge her or call her show. I know she's make a fool out of me, so I choose to use fake names on this blog. This is my petty Irish revenge and due to the fact I am just a low life scumbag and nothing more.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 16, 2007 at 08:04 AM
Well Jack, at least you are starting to own up to your web abuse. I can tell you, if there is ever a trial for your crimes, I will be a prime witness for the prosecution. Monica, please let me know if you guys need me to testify. Jack is like OJ. He's got away with so much crap that he thinks he's immune. Wait until he finds out the real consequences for his acts. Its going to be a rude awakening for this Irish lush.
Posted by: Fred Klein | September 16, 2007 at 07:04 PM
Monica has no right to talk about inmates running the asylum, considering the lunacy of her useless blog.
Posted by: Fred Klein | September 16, 2007 at 08:22 PM
The two posts after Niel's are the mentally disturbed spammer pretending to be me and Fred again. I honestly don't know about the last one. Because the spammer has usurped Fred Klein's name and occasionally the real Fred Klein complains about it and Monica continues to do NOTHING about him. It is a disgrace that she allows such lies and identity theft to go on here. I put the blame squarely on her because the spammer is too sick to control himself and it is HER blog.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 16, 2007 at 08:36 PM
Let me say one thing while I know the spammer is away on Sunday night. I am proud to be a Gay American. All this talk about gay folks not being patriotic is a big lie originating from who knows where. But I will not sit by idly while my good name is dragged through the mud by spammers and idiots alike. Am I committed to the homosexual lifestyle with all my heart and soul? YES. I will shout it from the rooftops if you don't believe me. I have sucked so manys dicks, they should put up a statue to me in San Francisco. I am very proud of my lip technique as well. I don't gag or anything. I just take it right down.. deep throat it all the way. I love doing that. Any volunteers? Just contact me in Salem, MA. I'm usually a hard man to find. Like I always say, a hard man is good to find. LOL.
Remember, friends .. the trick is not wasting any of that delicious goo. Yum! And if the spammer doesn't like the truth about me, I say tough nuggies, Charlie.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 17, 2007 at 12:52 AM
Jack, Fred, Pete, Neil. Whoever you are...
Thanks for the entertainment. This is better than 'Who's on first'...
I really got a good laugh. We need to laugh 'cause it seems to me the ship is sinking and the only alternative is to cry, alot.
All we need to ask ourselves:
Who would Al Qaeda vote for?
Posted by: Jim | September 17, 2007 at 07:58 AM
You are getting redundant spammer, but at least you made Jim laugh. Another feather in your bum, creep.
But what can one expect from a poor sap who was ridden out of Camden on a rail.
They tried to tar and feather him but the fool liked it.
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 17, 2007 at 08:40 AM
One other thing, creep. I do like to suck cock and so what? Is it any of your business whose dick I suck? No, its not. So shut up. Hey, next time I suck a big long one, I'm going to think of me and Buddy, my childhood friend from my novel. I have very fond affections for my boyfriends. That's none of your business, either.
F##k off, pal!
Posted by: Jack Flynn | September 17, 2007 at 08:57 AM
What I can't figure out is why the perp/spammer doesn't get bored. I'm getting bored of this crap, and would prefer that we have some actual political discourse, which, I believe, is what this blog is supposed to be about.
But then again, Monica Crowley doesn't seem to have a concept what this blog is for, and the last time I listened to her pathetic show, she mentioned it as if it is a wonderful place to contribute your thoughts. Obviously, she has no clue what is going on here.
Posted by: Fred Klein | September 17, 2007 at 01:47 PM
Fred,
At least you have the guts to speak up about it and call the spammer on usurping your name.
I am bored to death with it as well, but have to stay here and try to expose him/her, because he/she is aiming it all at me.
The spammer is not bored because he/she is driven by a mad compulsion and it is all that he/she has in his/her life.
A year ago this blog was starting to take off with a variety of people expressing their opinions, but the spammer/terrorist has wrecked it for everyone.

" Posted by: Fred Klein | September 17, 2007 at 01:47 PM "
Monica,
The above post by "Fred Klein" was not written by me. Again, it was that sick
moron who goes by the name Jack Flynn. He doesn't have the guts to tell you
what he thinks of you himself, so he assigns the task to his many aliases.
But you can write him here, if you want to tell him to stop:
jflynn@repub.com
This is his full name and location: JACK F. FLYNN, Salem, MA
If you want to see his ugly face, make sure you did not eat beforehand
and click the link here:
http://www.funnyfiftiesstory.com
Monica, you can see why an ugly piece of crap like Jack would have a problem
with someone so beautiful and svelte as yourself. He can NEVER have anyone
as gorgeous as you, so it sends him off into Crazyland. He cannot stand it and
this is why he writes all these eccentric & abusive posts. Sorry, Monica but this
is the naked truth about Jack F. Flynn. He is just a pathetic, lonely and toothless
Old Fart with no class or sense of propriety. A typical Democrat voter.
.

To whom it may concern. We are very patient here in Massachusetts. But we look after our friends and do not appreciate certain actions that have been taken here against an associate. Desist. You will receive no further notice, sir.

No one should use any other Poster's name. Although it is a tacit principle on the Internet, that doesn't mean it is abided by everyone.
It is the one principle that separates civil discourse from nihilism. Look what happened to this blog without respect for that principle? Hasn't it been close to nihilistic here?
