Some quotes from Harry's Place

The phenomenon that is Harry's Place continues to entertain and amaze. Here's a few highlights from this week:

David T on Harry's Place describes George Monbiot thus:


I think he's [sic] Monbiot is a silly little tosser.

Marcus in a discussion of the problems of developing countries:


I had a meal with a Minister of Justice of an ex-Communist country last year who argued that the monarchy should never have been chased out of his country. He thought it provided valuable national unity above temporary politicians.


Johann on terrorism:


Terrorism just means violence we don't like


Harry on Johann:


I really don't know what 'left' Johann wants to almost physically drag (Hitchens) all the way back to .

Is it a left where people say "terrorism just means violence we don't like"?

Is it the left of 'distinguished intellectuals' like Noam Chomsky?
