General Cuke Hits the Jackpot
I hope General Cucumber won't mind (and if you do, GC, just let me know and the link comes down) but his site recently got bombed by the bigot squad. Check out the comments to this post at Action is Eloquence. What a spectacular display of ignorance poorly disguised with rationailzed hatred.
Never mind that most of them are too pansy to post a name of any sort. Never mind that none of them seem capable of understanding the argument GC made. (Granted, it's a complex argument, but GC delivered a defense of historical Islam, and it was received as an appology for terrorism. Even if you can't parse the whole argument, you should be able to figure that much out.) What is absolutely stunning is the level of blind, venomous hatred underlying every word. If you think there's no potential base for an American Taliban, look no further than these idiots.
And give General Cuke some love, too. I know how annoying it is to have even one ignorant anonymous troll. GC has his hands full of them.

You may not be a scholar of the Arabic language, GC, but you certainly made an academic argument based on scholarly research and firmly rooted in your thesis, which was the etymology of certain Arabic words. I'm not claiming anyone should be able to do so, or even that anyone should be able to follow it, but anyone with basic comprehension skills should be able to parse what you were doing. They made no attempt, and I'll bet more than half didn't even read the whole thing. They were there to attack you because a rational, academic argument is, in fact, an attack on their ignorance, something they obviously embrace with fervor.
I blame them, though. I definitely do blame them.
