Every time I think that Woody has reached the out bounds of the limits of hypocrisy, he manages to go further.

Patrick, you really are desperate to try to look smart, but you’re not. Perhaps someone who isn’t so pathetic could read it as being entitled to a fair trial. It’s funny that the Lef over uses the word “alleged” with left-wing extremists and Democrats, but not with others.

Woody says, “Don’t the accused get a trial before declaring them guilty, or is Marc proposing to do to them what he claims that they did to others?”

Marc said, “Let’s hope that as a result of this groundbreaking piece of journalism some more of these torturers and murderers that still walk free and smugly mug from the links will be playing their next round behind iron bars.”

That reads like Marc wants them tried and put in prison. Where does Woody get that Marc is proposing they be murdered?

There are some really nice arrangements of Victor Jara’s music on En Este Momento, the latest album by Claudia Acuna, the Chilean-born, New York-based jazz vocalist.

As Sergio – you actually bested your peculiarly trivial, if venomous bitchiness. Congrats, dipshit.

You gotta love this:

Haase said he was in an undisclosed location in the south of Chile at the time.

Probably with Dick Cheney

I grew up listening to The Clash and in university days, found their music inspiring and enlightening — edification you could dance to. (I attended a university where most students and virtually all faculty were right-wing and where, absurdly, dancing was banned.)
I still love The Clash’s music, but sometimes wince at lines from songs that now seem maudlin, if not jejune.
But Marc’s post is a welcome antidote. Reading it, I immediately recalled the lyric from “Washington Bullets:”

Please remember Victor Jara
In the Santiago stadium
Es verdad
Those Washington bullets again…

Joe Strummer, R.I.P.

Without that song, there’s a good chance, alas, that I would never have made certain to find out who Victor Jara was..

“reg” the trite troll, clueless and inconsequential .

That first comment is an astonishingly insipid reaction to Marc’s post…

“The serial killer was arrested at the roulette table in Reno.”

“Roulette is a game for idiots…”
