i'm ANGRY, very, very ANGRY
and an angry liberal is a dangerous thing :grr:

i think the whole armless iraqi boy (little ali abbas) earlier this week triggered this latest rage i have... that, and an ugly confrontation i had a few days ago with this skank redneck over bush...

i just wanna vent by kicking some ass...


anybody else here angry? if so, let's vent! right here, right now, on this thread.... it's either that, or a hole in my wall...

1. Goitta direct the rage
Send some letters to the editor or congress. Use that rage for something. My latest rage is because of the Cali recall. I hate Arnold and I signed up to work for the dems.

2. the recall
yeh, that, too...

it's getting so obvious at work too (my political beliefs) because i'm constantly complaining and venting about how fucking biased our coverage is... hope i don't get fired... on the other hand, maybe that's what needs to happen...

6. You're not alone
Hey Newsguy,

I read quite a bit here but don't post much (mostly because I'm too busy to actively participate for more than one post), and one of the main reasons I come here so often is to find others who are equally outraged.

I will say that if you are a member of the media then you would do us all a service by working within your publication to influence the public discourse. It seems to me that Dems in general and liberals specifically lose the general publics attention because they allow the discussion or debate to be framed by conservatives in such a way that the outcome is almost a foregone conclusion. I certainly try to inject some realization of the big picture on the occasions that I deal with the press, but I don't write the articles or stories.

Maybe you ought to go over and throw open the window...well, you know the drill.

3. I just found the Ali Abbas new pics -- that doesn't look like the same kid
it looks like a very different kid to me.....

http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-12715195,00.html

And what's with that Sears&Roebuck-like pic of the two very happy boys modeling their lost limbs? Strange........

I am going to look for another old photo of the child......

Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 10:22 PM by newsguyatl
but everytime i see video of him, i just lose it...

he's just pitiful... today i watched more video of him at work (mistake), arriving at the hospital in london with an american army hat on... he had a shirt and tie on and someone had to feed him his water... i just lost it, right there in the newsroom... not a pretty site... i'm so angry about this i don't know what to do... what a blatant injustice and evil, and the americans don't give two shits... i really feel like i'm gonna lose it soon... my heart just aches for that boy...

8. Please, please, please.....
keep your job. I feel so good every time I see one of your posts...just knowing someone in a newsroom somewhere still has some integrity and a sense of how absurd most of what the public gets from the media really is. Thank you for coming here to vent!!

4. Me Too
However, I prefer to collect information an release it in a controlled manner; especially if a Freeper has an immediaed need to shove Rush up my wazhoo.

Be cool, calm and collected; take their words and use it against them....

Otherise, we're handing our country to a bunch of power-hungry fanatics.
