  1. From a [censored] Pound interview at
    http://outside.away.com/outside/features/200606/richard-pound-interview.html

    You've been on the receiving end of intense criticism. A lawyer for U.S.
    track star Marion Jones-whose name came up in the BALCO doping scandal-once
    accused you of "a litany of anti-American smears" and said you had "no
    business being involved in the Olympics." Does that get to you?
    No. I have to look at what they're saying, who they are, what they
    represent, and then start parsing it. The louder they scream, the more
    likely it is that you've hit pretty close to home.

    So that means we all were right about Howard Dean being one of the
    planets biggest [censored] with his screaming.

    Thaen god forbid those people who've been railroaded by cops, cheated
    by businesses and people, all those civil rights folks. They made a lot
    of noise so they obviously were all wrong. Too bad I wasn't aware that
    making people complain menat they were the problem.
    Thanks for the wisdom Mr. Pound, sheds a lot of light on his attitude.
    Not that we didn't already know it.
    Rape 'em and when they scream, blame them.

    Final note!!!
    Yes, I'm being WAY over the top on purpose because so is Pound. His
    bahavior makes Darryl Gates, and Gordon Liddy look good.
