    I'll drink a toast to his passing.

    Then I'll stand over his grave 'till I'm sure that he's dead.

    So he's a master of war then.

    Seriously, Bob nailed his type.

    Apocalypse now had a good lines about what happens to villages when they go back and forth on being controlled.

    The line about the amputation of the arms of vaccinated children is great on showing the brutality of war.

    I believe Platoon has a scene where American GIs rape a little girl in some village.

    There was a moving starring Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox (no, seriously) called Casualties of War that is incredibly haunting and daunting and sad. The plot revolves a small unit kidnapping a Vietnamese girl and using her as a sex slave while they complete their mission.

    Fox matches Penn's acting chops in that movie, which, coming from me, is the highest praise I can give an actor.

    The comments on the "Yahoo News" article are just adorable.

    A few choice ones:
    "The left is terrified of facts"

    "The Left is all hype and no substance. Just free stuff and appeasement resulting in Chicago, Detroit, DC, etc."

    "Have not learned anything by electing the last community agitator?"

    "The lefts new response to everything is "I dont owe you a response". Wow, what leadership. Are they going to go to their safe space next?"

    "I wouldn't debate Shapiro if I were her. She's out of her depth (which is about 2" of water)."

    "That hollow headed woman wouldn't last five minutes with Ben. She just flaps about stuff that makes her feel good but they make no sense. She must be related to Obozo."

    I like this one:

    "if you can't hold your own against ben shapiro how are you going to defend america against it's enemies"

    I'm guessing this is someone I should know who he is but am rather thankful I don't.

    He's a "classically liberal" white guy's idea of what a "conservative intellectual" is.

    He hosts, " the fastest growing, hardest hitting, most insightful, and savagely irreverent conservative podcast on the web," apparently.
    and
    "Led by the incomparable Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire is a hard-hitting, irreverent news and commentary site for a new generation of conservatives."

    He's a leading light of the "intellectual dark web."

    The guys who think the biggest threat out there are angry campus lesbians and so forth.

    He is Jewish, so funny how he is the intellectual followed by the dark web.

    He does like to use his Tribe affiliation as a shield for criticism.

    One day, perhaps, the right will offer a "thinker" who can't instantly be dismissed. T

    What difference does his professed religion make?

    Are you being serious? The "IDW" isn't literally on the dark web. It's just a moniker.

    None of them can be dismissed. That's what the IConservatives have finally done to the concept of "thought".

    https://newjerseyglobe.com/local/monroe-school-board-candidate-made-racist-facebook-posts/

    "A Monroe Township, Gloucester County, school board candidate made a series of racist and homophobic Facebook messages between 2013 and 2016, at times referring to black people as “animals” and “********ing monkeys.”

    “So now I watch videos of the ‘protesters’ throwing trash cans and any other items at any white person they see…….time to start firing bullets into these ********ing monkeys and send them to their graves,” Monroe school board candidate Rick Jankowski wrote on April 27, 2015."

    I'm guessing that it has been quite a while since that occurred.

    Hmmm, maybe. He obviously is referring to the Baltimore riots. A quick scan of the Wiki page talks about the rioters attacking the police, but not any white person they see. But maybe.

    Somebody on bigsoccer posted the video that guy saw of black people throwing things at the white guy.

    Someone else posted an extended clip of the white guy throwing the garbage into the crowd of black people first.
