Helen Thomas stabs Obama between the eyes.  This is supposed to be a BP oil spill discussion Helen.  To hell with that though, let's talk about how we fight and die for nothing in Afghanistan and don't give her any Bushisms either :)  Obama talks about this topic much much easier and confidence reappears in his voice because he doesn't have to fake that he applied a robust response to THAT danger :)  Too funny, she's a great lady.

Well nice fantasy life you have. Your characterization of the exchange say more about your apparent violent hatred of Obama, than anything about Helen Thomas or Obama.

In other words, business as usual--Freaky Squeaky picking a fight with one of the commenters he spends day and night stalking. It's a full-time job, as I discovered in my brief tenure as pipsqueak, tracking just two days of Squeaky's prodigious commenting output so pipsqueak could give every single one of Squeaky's comments a rating of 5.

Call it performance art. Squeaky knows art, and he knows what he doesn't like. Squeaky doesn't like being stalked, and bullies don't like being laughed at. Crybaby.

You came to clean up the thread long after the fact and you have no sense of how it unfolded. As you said earlier, you don't read the threads unless somebody requests it and I doubt you have the time to read all the comments with equal care. If you had, there wouldn't still be comments wherein Squeaky basically accuses Military Tracy of wanting to murder Obama:

Well nice fantasy life you have. Your characterization of the exchange say more about your apparent violent hatred of Obama, than anything about Helen Thomas or Obama. Video here...And the hilarious thing is that your bloody fantasy about Thomas stabbing Obama with killer instinct prowess, drips with dramatic irony, because you and Helen Thomas have opposite views about the Afghanistan war, and you and Obama are basically in agreement that the Taliban et al. are a threat to us and need to be wiped out. Thomas on the other hand wants troops out now, a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with.

We get that $hit from Squeaky day after bloody day, 60-70 comments worth of it. Tell me Jeralyn, what did I say that comes anywhere close to that?

I responded to somebody else who had already suggested that multiple people may be writing under the name of Squeaky. But you have deleted those preceding comments. You also deleted my comment, the one that you said "started it" all. FWIW, this is what I said:

Squeaky may be multiple people.. at least s/he has a mini-me named pipsqueak who showed up for the first time yesterday to give Squeaky a rating of 5 on 83 comments -- in one fell swoop.

I basically outed pipsqueak for fu@k's sake. That's a hanging offense Jeralyn, really? Maybe it is you who is "still reacting to something that happened in an earlier thread". Like the Tuesday Night Open Thread, wherein you and I had words about the "inappropriateness" of me saying "Salazar is a pig on the environment". Well, Jeralyn, I said that, in part, because you have turned a blind eye to the BP Spill for the past month.

FWIW: I can cite you a whole lot worse by other commenters, on any number of threads. People, who I respect, have called Obama a "stupid jerk" an "idiot"; and Arlen Specter "an evil old whore" -- today. Yet those commenters aren't getting a public, pants-down-spanking from you are they?

Yet, for some reason you took notice of me and told me you didn't like the way I "put things" the first week I showed up here, two years ago, and you have bird-dogged me every since. You like to keep it tame at Talk Left Jeralyn -- and therein lies the rub.

With some notable exceptions, too many TL commenters are following your play-it-safe lead. So, buh bye for keeps. I hope you and Squeaky are very happy together. You are losing it to Firedoglake, Corrente, and even the DailyKos. I see many people, who used to be here, are now posting there. Think about that.

I think if people could learn to recognize when things are getting out of hand and just walk away it would be easier.
