The Mind of a Wingnut: (how incredibly ignorant)

[Popol Vuh]

http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/nospin1.html

Like the rest of the world, I watched both the Abu Ghraib and the more recent British abuse scandals unfold on Fox News with a little bit of disgust. I wasn’t surprised by the interrogation tactics employed; anyone who has spent time in the service during wartime has seen these tactics used. I was, however, surprised by the endless stream of liberal commentators who came out of the woodwork to declare the tactics “abuse” and “torture” and to shame our armed forces for doing the job they need to do to protect our freedom at home. It was a liberal, sensationalist media feeding frenzy.

Call me a right-wing conservative Christian if you must (I wear that badge proudly), but I don’t have a problem with our boys doing what they need to do in order to defend themselves and protect the freedoms of their parents back home. What I do have a problem with is our liberal media trotting out every out-of-context interrogation snapshot they can get their tree-hugging fingers on and presenting it to the world as “abuse”. I believe that it is our media’s duty, during wartime, to project a positive image of our country and support the policies and tactics of our administration. Showing photographs of our boys blowing off some steam or having some laughs and then calling it “abuse” and even “torture” only tarnishes our country in the eyes of the world and makes us look disunited.

1. If that were him/her being tortured, would they feel the same?

[PDJane]

3. Sighhh...............

What rock did this person crawl out from under???

How does killing people in Iraq protect freedom in the United States?

Did he/she/it breed, and how did that manage to happen in such cramped quarters?

Honestly.......

[Terran]

9. 'Zactly

Obviously he doesn't mind if their guys torture and abuse our guys too. That's just war, oh well, fuck all you LIEberals. :sarcasm:

[niyad]

2. what an appalling idiot-- "blowing off steam-having LAUGHS"??? this perso

needs to be committed for sheer stupidity.

[Arkana]

25. That's a Mount Rushmo' talking point.

This person must be one of them megadildoes or whatever they call themselves.

[Silent3]

4. Did you notice how this asshole captioned the pictures?

[Stand and Fight]

8. Yes... That made my stomach turn.

I have to wonder what the heck happened to him to make him such a monster.

[uppityperson]

26. Yup, very classy

Protecting our freedoms! pshaw

[Stand and Fight]

5. Oh, my beautiful mind...

Eagan is a world-class douchebag. :puke:

[Ganja Ninja]

6. "Call me a right-wing conservative Christian if you must "

How about if we call you a hypocritical pseudo-Christian phony.

[wtbymark]

7. a sheep walking right through the talking points list

blindly support whatever our boys (and girls) are ordered to do and don't question the chimp because thats not patriotic.

My view: string this bastard up on the tree branch right next to the chimporer - what loss?

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Wish he would explain how violating international treaties and laws

by torturing someone is protecting our freedom at home. Can only hope that Jesus is pissed that this cretin abuses his name and allows someone to have some laughs at his expense.

Edit: Oh my, he belongs to Promise Keepers as well. God have mercy on his soul!

[LibDemAlways]

11. That moron assumes that the media

is rightfully a government propaganda tool. Has spent entirely too much time watching FAUX.

Also, safe bet that he's never even considered joining the military, and never given a second's thought to how he'd feel if the US soldiers he claims to be so fond of were on the receiving end of the Abu Ghraib-style abuse.

Just another rightwing asshole.

[Savannah Progressive]

12. It's part of the cycle of violence that we instigated

I think this kind of lunatic is dangerous. Obviously disturbed, and obviously a wholehearted supporter of the "ends justify the means" nonsense.

I posted a thread here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2229817

In that thread I commented that the behavior of the troops is appaling, with links to video, and a few of the "new" Abu Ghraib pictures. I am so appaled by the behavior of too many of our troops that I wouldn't wish that kind if treatment on anyone, even the right wing hate filled Crusaders like the person who wrote that tirade.

I think the perception of those of us who are anti-war is shifting. There is too much evidence that this abusive and barbaric behavior isn't an isolated event, but a much wider and more accepted and adapted problem. The Bush Cabal seems to believe it's needed however, which is why they oppose the torture ban bill.

[Triana]

13. I have no desire to be a pretentious...

....blinkered, hypocrite who refuses to ack that what our troops were doing to prisoners on a large scale WAS TORTURE of the same type that we supposedly deposed Saddam for - AND that orders to do so came straight from the upper echelons of our government. THIS IS INEXCUSEABLE. Period.

THAT IS FACT and that is the reality of it. Putting a fluffy 'patriotic' poodle skirt on it doesn't make it anything different than what it IS and it IS TORTURE and it makes US part of the problem because we're doing the same inhumane things to PEOPLE that we supposedly are invading their countries and deposing THEIR LEADERS for doing.

[Savannah Progressive]

17. In regards to Saddam

I have recently started to wonder about that. Since every other contention of the Bush Cabal and the Repugniks has been shown to be false, I have to wonder if perhaps this one was false as well.

After all the supposed reasons for going to war was
1) WMD's. Proven false
2) Co-operation with Terrorists Also proven false
3) Involvement in 9-11. Proven False
4) Failure to disarm in accordance with UN Sanctions Another False.
5) Torture and inhumane treatment of his people.

While number 5 hasn't been looked into to my knowledge, granted I may be wrong there, if it's true it would have been the first true thing that the Repugniks said about the war.

Since the Bushco Regime has been clearly shown as falsifying evidence and information in regards to the first four, I honestly wonder if number 5 isn't also a lie? I mean, they have had Saddam for over a year, and haven't released any information on his supposed "crimes against humanity" leading me to suspect that the "trial" is nothing more than a political witch hunt, making Saddam the scapegoat and creating a de-facto justification of the war in the minds of the Repugnik Syccophant press.

14. This article is just disgusting and the most disgusting part of it

is when he declares himself a Christian. Can anyone tell me where Christ taught or condoned behavior like this? People like this author are as sick as the people who are performing the abuse.

[MrMonk]

15. I could have sworn that it was just heavy-handed satire

and I still might. Read some of the articles linked from the main page, especially the ones by "Amanda" and "Maureen". You might also enjoy some of the lengthy, anal rebuttals by writers who just don't get it.

[bunkerbuster1]

16. "get our tree-hugging fingers on"?

yeah, crap all over anyone who cares about the environment. There's a good lad. All part of that winning strategy that has the Preznit's approval ratings down to 46%... in Georgia.

[Savannah Progressive]

19. Yeah, I was shocked to see that too

I live in Georgia, and even here more and more people are starting to wonder about Bush and actually question him. It's a bit soon to allow this to become a ferverant hope that the Repugniks will be rejected soundly. However it is a good foundation.

[MadMichDem]

It's irony, "tongue in cheek", whatever!!!

It's a joke!!! See the list of his other "articles" at the bottom of the page and read one or two.
He very possibly could be Bob Boudelang's cousin.

[rkc3]

18. Since when is smearing menstrual blood on a prisoner...

considered blowing off steam?

On edit:

After reading several of his articles - I'm fairly certain this is satire.

"Should you teach a six year old girl about sex? A twelve year old boy? A Teenager? A leprechaun?"

[MN ChimpH8R]

20. Ve are good Chermans and ve

never kvestion ze vill of ze Fuhrer!

[Catt03]

21. It has to be satire

I read the one about "Beating Your Kids" and I find some of the remarks
pretty infantile.

This has to satire

[atommom]

22. I've got his tree-hugging finger right HERE (guess which one it is?)

[SeanOhio]

23. Phew

I have to admit, I was duped! This looks like your typical right-wing newsletter-type site.

[EC]

24. Well, gee, it obviously works

look at all the good info we got out of Al ibi(sp?)!:sarcasm:

[JugDack]

27. It's a hoax/joke/satire!

Read some of his other columns - he's pulling an 'Onion'.
