It can't get any worse than accidentally burning Korans, right? Right?

Maybe you shouldn't be working there then.  I'm sure having contempt for a people hinders efforts to create propaganda.

Eh, not sure respect for the subjects is that helpful when trying to manipulate large groups of people. I suspect many people in marketing and advertising are cynical assholes.

Contempt for your audience shows through in your work.

Don't think it matters so much when your audience holds you in even more contempt.

I think Hans hold most of us in mild contempt, which is why his arguments suck so much.  As opposed to me who loves each and everyone one of you, and has splendid arguments that are elegant, logical, and full of warm feelings and good cheer.

My arguments are awesome because I hold myself in contempt.

It ain't mild.

I never thought Penetta for a coward.

The message was two-fold and clear: "I don't trust my own people, and I am afraid to die."

Many people feel they have reasons to continue living, siegy.

Do you go without body armor?  Do you ride on the top of the Styker?

Don't give him any ideas.     Never mind, forget I said that.

Well, yeah. I do too. But I refuse to live my life in fear of death or pain.
It just doesn't work. From a practical point of view, fear only makes you make mistakes, and thus fail at whatever you are doing.

Anyway, I do feel fear, I just overcome it with determination to accomplish the mission.
As time passes, fear becomes an old friend, always there when the bullets fly.
And if you embrace it, it makes you faster, stronger.

I think it's more insecurity. He knows the GOP is now a collection of wackos and outdated fundies. He knows in his heart, that he no longer identifies with them and therefor he is lost.

Yes, Hans knows this.  I remember him talking about 32 year cycles of political ascendancy.  The GOP was on top in their current cycle.  I pointed out that meant his party was big trouble then.  He didn't really have an answer for that.  At least one I can remember.

He looks mentally retarded and/or psychotic in that picture.
