Profile of the Sociopath
Glibness and Superficial Charm
Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible.
They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
Incapacity for Love
Need for Stimulation Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

The Seven Deadly Sins
Lust: that pretty much speaks for itself
Gluttony: eating too much and too expensively
Greed: an excessive materialistic hoarding and manipulating authority to get more than you need
Sloth; unwillingness to care; laziness and indifference
Wrath/Envy: I put these two together because they intertwine with jealousy, hatred and anger towards the one who has more; in Keith's case it would be, "love of one's own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs"-Dante
Pride: thinks he's more important and attractive than others;
Dante- "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor"

I noticed Keith didn't put his "special comment" on Kos this time.
Is he finally getting wise?
Oh, the selected outrage.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjTTorFQEQs
So why is it okay for MSNBC to show hours of the 9/11 event today as it happened 7 years ago?
I know Keith doesn't really believe that McCain has some secret plan to get Bin Laden. Why in hell did he waste so much of his SC talking about it?
Other than that, it was pretty good.
I saw that video. Wasn't impressed.
Why is it okay for MSNBC to show hours of 9/11 but complain about it being shown at a Republican convention?
That is what you're asking, right?
Well, in defense of MSNBC it was done in a memorial point of view and not designed to scare people into voting for them. It's to always remember what happened.
Republicans have no issues to run on so they ride on their unsuccessful accounts of 9/11.
In the 7 years Bush has been in office has he caught Bin Laden? NO. Has he made our borders safer? NO. Did he start a war in Iraq for the sole purpose of putting Al Quaida in Iraq? Yes. Does that mean we're safer? NO.
The only thing Republicans have been able to do successfully is impede on our privacy, break the law countless times and kill a lot of innocent soldiers and Iraqis.
Please, I would like you to explain all of this away.
Marinara, this is the first I've heard of McCain's accounts so I'm not gonna be too harsh on what Keith said.
The RNC video was also a tribute video. The video was not what Olbermann claimed it was in the least.
I went back to look at the video again but unfortunately it's not available anymore.
I did see only part of it and what I saw was not, in my opinion, a tribute.
But I will take your word for it. However, Republicans have absolutely nothing to claim but a horrible disaster, and yet they want everybody to think that they are the best people to fight the war of terror.
The only good thing they did was go to Afghanastan and kill the Taliban. After that, they took on the Americans.
Republicans try everything they can to keep us afraid. And frankly I'm sick and tired of it.
They are doing nothing to help the people of this country. So...they think that by keeping us all in fear then we will forget that the economy sucks badly, gas prices are outrageously high, more and more people are losing their jobs and the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer.
So I guess it's okay to save this country from attacks from the terrorists but the people don't count.
Maybe they want the land all to themselves and all their rich white friends.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
If the Republicans win again there will be no people left here to "protect".
That RNC "tribute" video was nothing but fear mongering and war mongering. It's sole purpose was to remind people of the graphic images and remind them of the fear. It did nothing to touch on the heroism or personal tragedy of that day. It was disrespectful and disgusting.
Keith was totally right, and I'm so glad he said something about it that night and in a Special Comment.
I like what Jon Stewart said to Mike Huckabee when he was a guest on The Daily Show, whoring for McCain/Palin.
"So, you want us to vote for your party, because it's the only party that can repair all the damage that your party has done over the last eight years?"
Anonymous, you're exactly right.
Dictators keep their people in fear. This is a country of people that can make up their own minds and if they don't do it right then we're in for another four years of pain and suffering.
Marinara,
That's good. I'm glad Jon Stewart said that.
What was Huckabee's reply? I bet he couldn't say anything that sounded anywhere near the truth.
He made sure his comments were at the end of the interview. All Huckabee could do was laugh and shake his hand.
Hehe. Good for Jon. Don't give Huckabee a chance to make a bigger fool out of himself.
Thanks. :-)
