BULLS***: The truth about Truthout.org: Cyber Trojan horse of the Far Left
http://www.michnews.com/artman/publish/article_8230.shtml


By Doug Schmitz
MichNews.com
May 16, 2005



Editor’s note: The following column was initially written in August 2003, a year before writing as a guest commentator – and then as a regular columnist – for Michnews.com; Part II of this column will be arriving soon.

When President Bush stepped onto the presidential landscape in 2000, the Left had only just started to show their true colors concerning their psychopathic hatred for him – especially those in the Far Left auspices of the elite media, who still prove daily to be further aiding and abetting America’s enemies. Undeniably, Bush seems to have brought out the voracious fury of the Left in ways no other U.S. president has done since the late great former President Ronald Reagan won his 40-year battle over Communism, which Far Left media propagators still pine after to this very day.

Although leftist propaganda portals such as CNN, MSNBC, the ABC-CBS-NBC cabal, the Associated Press, Reuters, NPR, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post, just to name a few, have done their part to advance the Left’s agenda, ultra-leftist extremists have already infiltrated the New Media of cyberspace – spewing out their own kind of caustic venom at the Bush administration.

One of those Web sites that has morphed itself into a veritable cyber Trojan horse of the Far Left is Truthout.org, which disturbingly paints an extremely distorted picture of the Bush White House as “neo-conservative fascists”; the U.S. military as “invaders” and “occupiers”; America as an “imperialist” “police state” and Islamic terrorists as “victims” of “U.S.-led aggression,” which Truthout.org blames for the Sept. 11 attacks. But, at the same time, they dismiss Bill Clinton and Al Gore’s utter cowardice in confronting the six separate terrorist attacks that occurred on and off U.S. soil from 1993-2000.

<SNIP>

can't wait until Pitt rips this guy a new orifice.

2. Leftist propaganda my ass!
What about the RIGHT's propaganda? You know, the purveyors of blind authority like Hannity and Coulter? Or the religious wingnuts like Falwell and Robertson?

If they want to talk about propaganda, I'm prepared to play hardball.

5. We should be faulted
for hating a sociopathic bareass monkey who came on marionette strings to destroy our Country?

9/11 happened on bushwatch..
Almost 3000 dead on September 11,2001 due to the bushreich's Inaction on events leading up to it.

The bush junta scoffed at the Hart-Rudman Report(http://graypantherssf.igc.org/hartrudman.htm ) and bush took the month of August in 2001 off. The August Memo..not considered of enough importance by condjob,bush's national security advisor http://www.commondreams.org/cgi-bin/print.cgi?file=/hea...

Were they ignoring warnings on purpose or are they just guilty of gross negligence?

There have been so many crimes by this regime and covered up by the mainstreammedia in the USA that it's breathtaking to keep up.

The concerted effort to keep what really happened before and on 9/11 from being made public is one of the most vile coverups in American history.

And the monkey came into power with the Betrayal of AMerica in 2000.

And after 9/11 he told lies along with his cronies about Iraq.
That's why we hate him..you buzzard.

7. more nonsense
<snip>

"Truthout.org’s managing editor, William Rivers Pitt, a Far Left anti-Semite and pro-Palestinian sympathizer, has authored three leftist, enemy-appeasing tomes: Our Flag, Too: The Paradox of Patriotism, The Greatest Sedition is Silence and War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn’t Want You To Know."

9. Ronald Reagan's 40 Year Battle??????
Tell that to George Marshall, Harry Truman, Ike, JFK, the Korean and Vietnam War vets, Lech Walesa, Pope JPII.

Reagan never put any of his own shit on the line - NEVER. He was the highly compensated mouthpiece for Corporate America - back when they even vaguely gave a shit about America......

10. ...oooopie. Why the Military Industrial Complex had to get a new evil
to fight against ... Endless Enemies by Jonathan Kwitny pointed this out years ago. War is A Racket by USMC Gen Smedley D. Butler was earlier version, with E V Debs before that.

14. Couldn't make it past the first sentence...
...anyone that begins with that much hyperbole should be summarily disregarded. "psychopathic hatred", leftist propaganda portals, ultra-leftist extremists, infiltrated cyberspace? Oh puh-leeze.

15. This website has come to my attention several times
as a moderator and a google user. It's trash. It's not "real" news, just a right-wing nut job site like so many others all over the web.
I wouldn't give anything written there any credence.

18. Almost every article posted there is also posted at GOPUSA.com
ConservativeGuy.com, etc.

One article gets posted on multiple sites. They are spammers. It is a trick the far right uses to make people believe they are in the majority.

If these are left, then I must be invisible.

I especially like '...paints...the U.S. military as “invaders” and “occupiers”...'

WTF would U call them then Dougie. The US invaded and now occupies Iraq. What's the problem?

23. That's where I stopped reading.
The author is to the right of Goebbles if he thinks these are "leftist propaganda portals."

24. So because the so-called left media writes the truth,
they have a problem with it? I would guess that's why it's called Truthout. Duhoh.

25. The concern we should have about articles like this is that...
...they spell truthout.org correctly.
