There are words for guys like Kevin: Easy Target. He's our troll equivalent of Cheney's hunting expeditions. It's fun and easy to shoot him down. I mean, it's not like anyone takes him seriously... No need to ban (tho Iz, I do like your solution!). There are words for guys like Kevin: Easy Target. He’s our troll equivalent of Cheney’s hunting expeditions. It’s fun and easy to shoot him down.

Rather, he should be indefinitely detained at Guantanamo without access to a lawyer or the Fox News channel. I don’t think that Kevin should be banned.

Making claims which have no basis in fact isn't free speech, it's lying. Suze, I’m a first amendment absolutist and all that, but I think it is time for you to invoke IP banning on ol’ Kevin.

Another has attacked the guards over 20 times, swearing to kill all of them when he's released. Another tells his captors he prays to Allah for the destruction of America (not just Republicians). These guys are right where they belong. They can't murder our citizens. They are not innocent bystanders caught up in all of this. They are bomb-makers, terrorist trainers, Bin Laden bodyguards & foot soldiers-by their own admission, very dangerous people. And you actually believe the Justice Department is out of line. Hell, HUNDREDS of lawyers for, what, about 400 terrorists? We're screwed......... This is what makes ME sick:
