Pigboy is Scared (Hackett)

[maxrandb]

I really try my best not to listen to this "ass-pickle", but like Michael Corleone in Godfather III; "everytime I get away, they pull me right back in".

I caught a few minutes of him on the way to the beach. Finally I have Ed Schultz here in "the peoples republic of Tidewater Virginia", complete with our own "state run AM radio programs". Thanks God for Ed!!!

Anyway, Pigboy was talking about Paul Hackett running in Ohio, and went to great pains to ensure his listeners that this would not be any kind of "bell weather", or referendum on *. He then went on to call Hackett "a typical Lib hiding behind a military uniform". Adding, "It didn't work for Kerry, and I don't think it will work for this guy". "Libs can't admit who they are". "So this guys hiding behind the military".

Now, stop for a minute and think how stupid Pigboy's "hiding behind a military uniform" and "hiding behind the military" statements are. Then see if you can remember another politician that recently played "dress up" in a military uniform, and chose to address the country from a military base with a roomful of soldiers.

Tell me again Pigboy who it is that is using the military!!!!???

:evilgrin:

1. This is really interesting...

because you know who feeds Rush his political information.

The fact that Limbaugh is trying to downplay the election as any kind of a "bellwether" means that the Republicans must be seriously afraid that Hackett is either going to win or get within a few percentage points of winning in a district the Bush coasted through just eight months ago.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Yes

I think so too. They know the truth about that district. I hope Hackett's campaign is keeping an eye on everything.

[blm]

2. Attack REAL military and support chickenhawks who hide BEHIND the military

That's the shame of the Republican Party these days.

[bribri16]

29. No one could say it any better than you have!!! n/t

[driver8]

35. It is the shame, but sadly, their supporters fall for it every time!!

How else could these thugs attack Kerry, McCain, and Cleland and get away with it?

These chickenhawk pieces of shit shout "support the troops, support the troops!" and when an actual soldier runs against them, they tear them to shreds.

How can anyone with a conscience actually support these idiots?

[blm]

42. Hey, the GOP earned it the hard way - buying control of the media was damn

expensive at the time. Of course, they have profitted greatly in return, and it has proved a financial return on their intial investment that would make Midas turn green with envy.

[dhinojosa]

3. Hahaha. set and match....recommending....

nice job.

[napi21]

4. Do I detect a "He just might win" statement there?

Hmmm, if Pigboy is saying this kind of stuff, it sounds like the internal Pub polls aren't very good and old Schidty just might LOOSE!!!!!!!!

[FreedomAngel82]

13. Did I read in another thread

that Schmidt's people were telling some of their voters to stay home?? Or was it their campaign people? :shrug:

[Jersey Devil]

33. Some Repubs are staying home due to a nasty primary I think

They expect a very small turnout, maybe 20-25%. With that kind of turnout if the Dems have enough boots on the ground and can turn out the Dem base he may indeed have a shot.

[jean]

43. I read that one of Schmidt's opponents was telling repubs to stay home

can't find it for you right now... (it's a thread in which a DUer posted his convo with an online repub buddy)

Also, from what I've been hearing on the radio all day - AAR

- for a summer election like this one 'they' would expect about a 12% turnout

- recent interest in the race made 'them' kick their guess-timate of turnout up to about 20%

- 'some' on DU have said anything over 20% bodes well for Major Hackett


(no linkage, just anecdotal stuff, sorry)

[wakeme2008]

44. I think you are right... he is preparing his listeners for a Schidty lost.

:)

[SteppingRazor]

5. Of course, if Hackett loses...

Rush will show that this PROVES that people love Bush, even though he says now that if Hackett wins, it doesn't prove people are against Bush. :eyes:

[StClone]

6. Hackett as an individual is dismissed by Limbaugh

But the Military is made of mostly of Hackett types, yet the generic Military is Jim Dandy to Rush. Rush my good friend how do you keep it all straight in your hepped-up, pill popping world?

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Can you imagine? A REAL soldier emphasizing his service

well in teh case of Kerry, a real sailor and in the case of Hacket a real marine, but you all get the point

The chickenhawks may be seeing soethign they can't explain... those who are running with a military background are... DEMOCRATS.... GASP, but only conservatives serve... so says the talking points

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Yep

Reminds me of what Jon Stewart said about this. On the indecision 2004 video disc they have of the republican convention coverage they show Cheney talking about the armed forces and how they're the best in the world etc. and Stewart shows a photo next of Kerry recieving a medal and says: "Unless they're running against you. Then they're pussies." It's so true. They did it to John McCain as well and he's one of their own!

[Historic NY]

8. Talk about supporting the troops.......

sounds like "gas bag" is putting them down. The same ones that are sweating and dying in Iraq so he can have the right to spew his garbage. He might just as well as say we don't care about your service in Iraq, your not good enough to run for Congress, because your a liberal and a Democrat. That could dampen morale.

Hey "gas bag" if your not for the troops then your against them....sound familar.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. They did the same thing

to the Vietnam vets who were protesing the war in 1971. If you haven't watch the documentary "Unifinished Symphony" based on the Vietnam vets protesting then. People treated them the same way Hackett is being treated. It's really shameful. They only support the troops when they're good for photo-op's other wise: who cares? is their view point.

[mtnester]

30. Someone ought to roll this sound bite from the audience next time Pillboy

goes to Iraq to entertain the troops...uh...never mind

[AValdoux]

9. It's Mind-Boggling

Liberals are now accused of joining the military and risking their lives so in the future they can run against true americans (repugs) who never serve. He's had the courage to speak his mind about Bush and is slammed. She mindlessly repeats the talking points and gets respect.

[babylonsister]

10. Isn't Limpballs aired in Iraq?

Would this particular program be accessible to the soldiers? If so, I don't imagine it would impress many of them. :eyes:

[maxrandb]

31. Yes! Your and My Tax Dollars Paying for One Hour of

Limpballs propaganda every day on Armed Forces Radio!!

Beautiful country, isn't it?

I imagine that some of the mindless Freeper Wannabes in the military think that Rush is more of a "true American" than Paul Hackett.

You have to give it to the Repukes. Their painting of the Democratic Party as the party that hates the military has been effective.

It's how they convince Americans that an AWOL, Chickenhawk, National Guard deserting person that defended the beaches of "Floribama" from the hordes of invading Vietcong, has a more stellar military record than a River Boat CO in one of the most dangerous places on earth, who was wounded three times and awarded a Silver Star.

Part of it is the willingness of the Repukes to use the military. Americans love to kick-ass. They respect strength. It's why bullies are able to get peoples lunch money, until someone stands up to them.

Democrats prefer to use our military to kick-ass, only when there is "ass that really needs to be kicked" like Hitler, or Osama Bin Laden.

[cal04]

46. exactly. Let them hear how they're talked about

and let them know even though they are there, it doesn't matter to these people
how they sacrifice their lives for these chickenhawks they will be trashed anyway

[King Coal]

11. Hyuck

[quisp]

14. WHAT STATION IS ED SCHULTZ ON!?!?!

I'm here in Newport News and I need something to listen to on the AM side of the dial.

[myrna minx]

18. Here are his VA affiliates...

http://www.wegoted.com/stations/stations.asp?state=VA&Submit=search

[Rainscents]

19. Why? Is there something special on Ed Schultz today?

[napi21]

21. I always listen via the net. His show is broadcast out of Oregon

KPOJ, but I don't know how many other stations air it or where?

[maxrandb]

24. He's On 850 WTAR From 3-5PM

Just started this week!!!!

It is B-E-A-utiful!

I can finally get a traffic and weather report without first having to hear some chickenhawk calling me "commie, pinko, god-hating, fag-loving, terrorist sympathising socialist". and I'm wearing the "effing" uniform of this country!!!

[maxrandb]

25. They're advertising it as the "De-Hannitization of Hampton Roads"

[sakabatou]

17. Hide behind the military?

It's guys like Pig-boy who hide FROM the military.

[Old and In the Way]

20. If 50% of the soldiers who are fighting are Democrats, what kind of

message are the chickenhawk blowhards, like Rush, sending? Can you possibly make a more un-American statement than this?

Rush, and all the RW hacks, ought to just come out and be honest. You are working for the RNC and there is only one principle to defend...the status quo. It's all about keeping Republicans in power and you on the air, making $20MM/year, spreading the corrosive anti-Americanism that your politics embraces.

[Ganja Ninja]

22. These chickenhawks have no respect for anyone ...

that's ever served in uniform. Perhaps that's why they have no problem sending them off to die in a war based on lies.
I wish we could round them all up and drop them by parachute over taliban territory.

[stanwyck]

28. my fantasy

yep. Put O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, DeLay, Lott, Gingrich, Cheney, and all the other chickenhawks in a helicopter, attach them to some quick ropes, and drop them in Fallujah.

[Justitia]

23. As opposed to hiding FROM the military, like that fat-ass chickenhawk? -nt

[Jack Rabbit]

26. Is this the same Vietnam era chickenhawk who had an anal cyst?

And he's talking about somebody else "hiding behind the military"?

Get a life, Mr. Windbag.

[Zen]

27. Interesting comparison

These fucks do this all the time - thier ignoramus followers don't seem to care either.

[Jersey Devil]

32. Just heard Limpballs say "even if Hackett should win"

it wouldn't mean anything because he is running as someone really close to Bush. And this was his message when signing off for the day.

I hate to get my hopes up because they have been dashed so many times but it sounds to me like they are really worried.

[Guaranteed]

38. It doesn't sound like he's running close to Bush at all.

I've heard that in his MM commercials he's avoiding the word "Democrat" and whatnot, but as far as the issues it sounds like he's a hardcore Democrat.

[Fly by night]

50. Hackett has publicly called Duh-bya "that SOB " in our White House.

[jokerman93]

34. Amazing isn't it?

These befuddled right wingers live in an utterly alternate reality. It's the liberals and progressives that are responsible for nearly every positive development in America for the last century.

Myself?

I'm proud to sport a Democratic Underground.com sticker right next to the Airborne Special Forces decal on the bumper of my cowardly, liberal, anti-American, anti-military Mazda. Ha!

Screw the chicken hawks. Shame on them all. And especially, shame on that shit-spewing Pigboy. Shame...

The only silver lining in all this is that it's becoming clearer these brain-dead cowardly assholes are painting themselves into a corner built out of their own hypocrisy.

Payment is coming due. Perhaps slower than we need it to, but make no mistake it's coming.

:grr:

</endangryrant>

[ewagner]

36. If Rush is doing

this "schtick" then they must be worried.

At the very least the repubs are afraid that Hackett will come uncomfortably close.

Rush takes his cues right off the fax machine from Rove's office.

[dissent1977]

37. From the man whose anal cyst kept him from Vietnam

But of course his side represents brave Americans and anyone who disagrees with him is a coward.:sarcasm:

[DinahMoeHum]

39. At the rate Pigboy is going, in a few years, NOBODY in the military

will want to be associated with the GOP.

All the better for us.

:kick:

[dogday]

40. Pigboy doesn't get the right to talk

shit about the military. Is he still nursing his butt boil? What a waste of a human being.....

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

41. "hiding behind a uniform?" you mean like this?

[maxrandb]

45. Commander Codpiece!

Hell, even Ian Anderson stopped wearing one of those years ago.

That's so 1560's.

[jean]

47. he is the talk radio voice troops hear on Am.Forces Radio. The swifty

method of smearing and beating our best candidates seems to be unstoppable.The swifty strategy is fine-tuned, relentless and successful.

This issue needs it's OWN action alert network. There have been too many instances, starting with Max Cleland in Georgia, in which they've smeared, won and gone on to do it again with impunity.

Is there an action alert network set up for this because I want to sign up and donate money.

By the way, Sen Harkin has been busy on the American Forces Radio/Limbo issue:

(and related articles)

[rasputin1952]

48. he is so full of it, i'm surprised he just doesn't explode...

for someone who can claim that another is 'hiding behind the military', after serving is ridiculous, and it becomes ludicrous when a 'draft dodger' does it!!!!!! I guess Limpy's peloidinal cyst, (aka: "Pain in the Ass Syndrome") the gem that kept him out of OD Green, Navy Blue, and Sky Blue, was better than actually going into the Marines and fighting the country's wars. The Bidet General speaks so highly of bush's service...:wtf:...but when a combat vet comes down the pike...he's 'hiding' behind the military!...:grr:

Suffice it to say that some people really are dumb enough to believe this tripe....but he's going to lose listeners over this. Bashing the military is not a good idea during a war. especially when sons and daughters hare coming home in droves...coffins, prosthetic legs/arms, mentally damaged; and for WHAT? So Limbaugh can buy more Exxon stock???!!!!!!!!...:puke:

[SpiralHawk]

49. Hiding behind an anal cyst is far, far worse, Oxycontin Man

Stop your blatant hypocricy now. It is way to obvious Rush, and you are losing whatever shred of cred you once may have had.

[senseandsensibility]

51. Glad to hear the pig is scared

He scares easily, of course.
