But what does Juan Cole insinuate? He has called the two liberal and secular bloggers Mohammad and Omar who provide the best Iraqi blog “IRAQ THE MODEL” as paid agents of the Americans. Go and do a search for Cole’s attack on the Fadhila brothers and weep.

Your cult-master does not even abide by your oh-so self-righteous rants.

And then Cole had to once again apologize for victimizing a blogger -http://www.mahmood.tv/index.php/blog/1494

And is Juan Cole going to post a note everytime he BLOCKS a comment submission by JJ or myself or others, on his blog?

I mean that guy is BUFFERING and BLOCKING any critical comment. And the Cole-cultists have NOTHING to say about it?

Since you cannot post your criticism on Cole’s blog, you might as well post them here.

Gary, you are now in a Stalinist interrogation room. I want you to DENOUNCE Cole for BUFFERING and BLOCKING comments on his blog. If you do not denounce Cole, I will have to conclude you are a BIG SUPPORTER of said intellectually corrupt person (for blocking criticism). I will have to conclude that YOU ARE IN FAVOR of buffering and blocking commentary and in favor of intellectual corruption.

These are your implications, not mine. Juan Cole is so obviously ideological in his rantings and this to his discredit. His prejudice against the establishement of a democratic order in Iraq, is so astounding, that it indeed makes you wonder what his motives may be – as you have noticed.

I am not accusing Cole of being a paid agent – that is your words. His ideological preferences for the establishment of a religious society at the expense of a free and open society is self-evident and speaks volumes. Cole is a deeply religious person himself, once being a card carrying member of the Bahai cult believing in theistic rubbish, and all of this is well documented. He has now turned against Bahai officialdom, but still is a firm believer in such rubbish. Go to the Usenet to view his rantings in support of angels and a god and the prophets (Baha’ulla, Mohammad) and other such anti-rational and anti-scientific low-class and low-intellect tripe. No wonder reactionary pro-Islamist leftists like yourself have taken a liking to his deranged opinion as you see him a BIG SUPPORTER of Islamism, which you find as a “rational” counterbalance to the western discourse.

As they say in my country, “water must be flowing uphill” for Herr Professor Dr. Juan Cole to claim that the death squads of Sadr’s Mahdi Army is a “social movement”. Or to claim the Salafi suicide bomber who is seeking 72 virgins in the other world, and blowing up a marketplce and 85 innocent individuals, and maiming and burning 200 others, to be a “guerrila legitimate resistance fighter”.

That Allawi is building a coalition with the Sunnis and thus makes wildly exaggerated claims in the run-up to the election. Much like Ted Kennedy.

For Cole and Gray to accuse JJ of being a “big supporter” of Allawi for not publishing denounciations and condemnations of Allawi, is not a “rational disagreement”. It is a Stalinist witch hunt cum Islamist video taped confession of “enemies of God”.

Any sane person would consider it highly IRRATIONAL for Gray to demand that JJ to denounce Allawi on his blog. As Jeremy has pointed out, JJ is not in the business of denouncing all that he does not like.

Get a life Gray and Bongo. You western reactionary-leftists dont have a leg to stand up on. I am sorry that Stalinist televised confessions and denounciations are not in vogue in this part of the world, and you should take your so-called “rational” interrogation technique to Ramadi or Tehran where it has more currency – and where you western reactionary leftists will certainly feel more at home.

If I’m accused of not being able to get a clear picture of where he stands, I plead guilty.

Seems to be a habit (note the stealth correction to his original post).

You say it has been the spam filter – hmm, this really is a weird software, never encountered this before. Fact is, as of about 8:30, all my comments were gone. At least I couldn’t see them anymore and I couldn’t post with firefox anymore. The 8:44 comment must have been stuck in the filter ‘pipeline’, I wrote that at about 8:20. After switching to IE, my comments here were still gone (I checked the Katrina thread, old postings were ok), but I was able to post again at 8:57. Of course, I suspected that you were administrating the system, since I never experienced a spam filter retroactively blocking comments before. And you seemed to be a little bit, erh, annoyed at 8:00. In hindsight, I think I was too stubbornly insisting on a clarification of your post, sry. I still think it would have been good, but wtf.

Nice to be back. But I’m sure looking forward towards that new spam filter!

(And yes, to the humorless among you — and you don’t know who you are — that’s a joke.)

I am switching spam software. My son is testing the new one from WordPress now. Until then, Spam Karma is the bouncer. if you see something disappear, let me know and if it’s not abhorrent, I will restsore it. See, I restored Gray’s comments.

And by the way, Cole did not approve one of my comments. So there.

Zimmer: I deleted no comments on this thread. I reserve the right to do so anytime. This is my house and I’ll kick anybody out if I so choose. Don’t like it? Get your own. Those are the house rules.

Tony: Guess not.

And did you further know that posting at Juan Cole’s blog is not automatic? Before your comment is posted, he delays them and examines them, and if it does not meet his approval, such as if it is a critical comment, he does NOT ALLOW the post appear.

Gray, since you are defending the unconscionable Cole over here, what do you have to say about Cole’s position that the Talibanate of Falluja should have been allowed to exist and operate, and the carbomb factories and IED factories in Falluja should have remained unmolested last year?

Isn’t that an endorsement of repression and fascism by the so-called progressive Mr. Cole?

And why does he call carbombers that lure 120 day laborers to their deaths as “guerrillas”, legitimizing these murderers? Why are the death squads of the Mahdi army branded a “social movement” by Cole? Do you have any idea? Before you go around accusing JJ and others – you better defend your own idol.

If you want to know about JJs ethics, search this site for Juan Cole and compare his accusation of Cole being a murder apologist with JJs whining about being called a “big supporter of Allawi”. So much for the “ethics of blogging” here!

(really need to get working on that “ethics of blogging” paper I’ve been meaning to write)

Well, there are some bloggers who have the spine to admit mistakes. Other’s don’t, but prefer to delete commenters who point out their errors.

Disclaimer: I’m not Juan Cole, not related to him either,and don’t know him personally. I just like his insightful articles on Iraq that imho are much better than yours.
