The Case for Nuking The Daily Kos

If you have any delusions that The Daily Kos is a legitimate news source and activist organization, and not a septic tank of hardcore socialists, anti-american lunatics, neo-anti-semites, and other all-round oxygen thieves, rid yourself of them right now by reading this unfortunate outburst of nonsensical, demonic coprolalia: The Case for Nuking Jerusalem

Now any parent knows that you can only push the sharing idea so far. There just plain comes a time when the whining and hitting and screaming have gone on too long, and it is necessary, for the sake of your own sanity, and for the disciplinary effect it has on the kids, to take the damn toy away. Its obvious that we can't just take whole city and put it up on a shelf where the Israelis, Arabs, Palestinians and Christians can't reach it. But we can nuke it. We can plaster it with atom bombs and turn it into a radioactive lava pit. That's my plan for handling the situation, and I think its really the best thing we could possibly do.

Let me explain why.

As we've already seen, Jerusalem has claimed more than its share of war dead. At least a couple million to date. But what about the future? What about the dead who will make tomorrow's paper. I'm not really talking about the couple hundred Palestinians who will be killed when the Israelis bomb a camp in Lebanon in reprisal for the rocket attack that will hit a school bus full of Hasidic orphans next week. Sure they'll be added to the Holy Carnage Scorecard, but I'm talking about the Next Holy War, the one that will be fought with real weapons of mass destruction; fuel air weapons, tanks, poison gas, bio-weapons, laser guided missiles, napalm, attack helicopters, machine guns, grenades, smart bombs, cluster bombs, neutron bombs and atom bombs.

To paraphrase the rantings of this mental patient "Lots of people died because of Jerusalem, so if we drop nuclear ordinance in the region, destroy the city and all the people in the general area, we'll prevent lots of people from dying". Nevermind that Jerusalem has been destroyed several times in history, and keeps popping back up, like some kind of weird miracle from heaven, or something.

It really frightens me that there are people out there who think like this, and they stand to gain real political power in this country. Every generation, in every major western political institution, finds some reason to make "kill all the Jews" as a platform for peace and prosperity. In whatever time or region you're living in, the way to tell you're on the wrong side is when you're on the side that's against the Jews.

UPDATE at 11:45am 4/2/2006: Apparently, "troutwaxer" is a piker compared to Dr. Pianka. If you believe in making 90% of the world's population go extinct, why not start with yourself?

Also, I noticed the above Daily Kos entry was made on April 1. If it's a joke, I'm not laughing.
