Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, October 27, 2007

It rises from the hilltop, bigger than a barn, built of stone and roofed in copper. Officially it will be the Museum at Bethel Woods, and it will be focused on the Woodstock festival, the "three days of peace and music" that took place here in August 1969. But the museum has been tagged by critics with a different name: the Hippie Museum. (BOO!)

Warning to anybody who wants to tour this new museum.

Do NOT take the brown acid!

Be Well.

PS: Cute headline.

"Do NOT take the brown acid!"


Too late.

I imagine the Righties fondly remember Pete Townshend smacking Abbie Hoffman upside the head with his axe.

[blockquote]"It was so important for us to get control of this thing for the benefit of our economy," Scott said as he drove along Filippini Pond, famous for Woodstock skinny-dipping.[/blockquote]

So this place isn't really about memorializing history - it's about selling it for a buck.

Museums? We don't need no stinkin' museums.

- A hippie

McCain (who missed the vote on the earmark) got a big laugh and a standing ovation from the crowd and his fellow Republicans. But if his zinger played well on the trail, it hasn't here in Bethel.

Okay, how can you complain about something if you couldn't be bothered to show up for the vote?
I have friends who never stop whining about the government but can't seem to allot an hour each year or so to vote. Assholes.

For those who don't know (and there will be some):

"The warning...[is] that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. It is suggested that you do stay away from that."

Shouldn't this just be a wing on the current Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame?

I looks like it was a great show, but a whole museum?

...the Museum at Bethel Woods

"They take all the trees
and put 'em in a Tree Museum
then charge the people
a dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you got till it's gone
They've paved Paradise
and put up a parking lot"

~Joni

Be Well.

Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

No one wants to go to Cleveland.

McCain et al. are seriously Square to the point they look silly. Those idiot Republicans should also take note that congressional district (and all of upstate New York) has swinging voters.



Conservative upstate NY gave Hil a big win in her second run for the Senate after she won them over.

Cut to footage of McCain as a prisoner of war in Hanoi.

John, the taxpayers loaned you that jet you let some kid with a pop gun shoot down.

Maybe you should dip into your vast campaign war chest and reimburse us for it.
Plus interest, of course.
That would be the fiscally responsible thing to do. I'm sure you also collected back pay "earned" while you were off shirking your duties.
Commie welfare bum! Bet you use socialised free medicical care too.

another silly Leftist myth.

Whoa now Vern.

There's sharing and then there's the overshare.

TMI, my right handed friend, T M I.

TGW: Sorry to challenge the 'conventional wisdom.' Bullshit like "we shut down the New York throughway, man!" (spit, stroke ego, repeat) And even if it were true, who the fuck cares? I've seen lesser things shut down the LA freeways plenty of times.

History can be cruel when it's based on facts.

Plus, I'm left handed

Spit! Stroke! Repeat!

Is that how you got the nickname "Two-stroke"?

Sorry to hear it man, but on the bright side the 50% off you recieve at yer local rub and tug must help to ease the shame of being the "fastest gun in the west".

Be Well.

I'm sure Woodstock (the original one, not that 90's piece of shit) was a great time, but the baby boomers' belief that this event was "important" has always mystified me. The majority of boomers grew up and gleefully sold out to became more greedy, self righteous and generally full of shit than any generation in history.

Man, I just HATE to say it, but Sully has a point. These who didn't OD to death, those not drafted to die in Vietnam, those who didn't finally live and die homelessly and aimlessly on our city streets probably DID sell out. A sad sad commentary on the human condition, one that lets the corporate boardrooms continue to reign. herm

All for the museum, as long as it is privately funded and required to maintain operation through patron admission. Just like the Rock and Roll hall of fame, or the NFL Hall or Cooperstown. If that is not good enough, put a display in the Smithsonian. Why is this an issue? Tax money already supports the Smithsonian, lets remember the history of Woodstock there.

This reminds me of the old High School put-down....
If you don't tell anyone I've got a wooden dick-






I won't tell anyone you've got slivers in your lips.

These who didn't OD to death, those not drafted to die in Vietnam, those who didn't finally live and die homelessly and aimlessly on our city streets probably DID sell out.

Actually, what the vast majority of them did was go ahead and make careers, create families, and be happy, fulfilled human beings.

They provided their offspring (like me) with enough sense to ex post facto contextualize the sentiments expressed by goofy little cunts like Grace Slick as she lamented the fact that her late-sixties "Revolution" had failed.

People like you, Herm, are an exception.

The positivity and success of this country occurs despite the existence of people like you---not because of it.

Hippies who lost the war of ideology accepted it, and went on with their lives, and should be commended for it.

Hippies who---40 years later---are still attempting to undermine the society that, by its nature, allows them to still exhibit their arrested development---are just shells of functional human beings.

We fought the Vietnam War because it helped put the brakes on a system of government that---when implemented---killed 120 million people.

In the same century you were born.

120 million people, Herm.

Hitler killed 6 million.

The puppy barks.

The truck rolls on.

Fuck you and your ilk, Herm.

We won---and you lost.

Therefore, you still get to post false, reminiscent horsehit about the Sixties on an internet website.

These who didn't OD to death, those not drafted to die in Vietnam, those who didn't finally live and die homelessly and aimlessly on our city streets probably DID sell out.

Fuck you.

Leftist scum.



We won---and you lost.

We? Are you part of the 1%ers club now, Mao?

Or are you more likely an ass-kissing, toadying, apologist fer folk who consider you an untermenschen?

A Waylon Smithers to the pan-globalist Mr Burns' of the world?

The ideology of the sixties that celebrated peace, love, freedom, harmony, inclusion and simple shared humanity has never lost, Mao.

It never has and it never will cos at the end of the day the human default setting is on good not evil.

Vietnam was a waste of lives and money.

Mispent national treasure and blood, all as a sop to a MIC that, at the end of the day, did nothing but increase international emnity fer US foreign policy.

Emnity that continues to this very day.

Fuck you.

Leftist scum


All you have is hate and a warped and twisted ideology that celebrates death and dishonours the fundamental precepts yer nation was founded on.

Luff ya

Ya Righty Tighty maroon!

Be Well.

PS: This one's going out from Spud to Mao...

Well I came across a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell where are you going
This he told me

Well I am going down to Yasgur's farm
Going to join in a rock and roll band
Goin' to get back to the land to set my soul free

We are stardust, we are golden
We are ten billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

We are stardust, we are golden
We are ten billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.

We are stardust, we are golden
We are ten billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden


People die, Mao.

Dreams never do.

Not as long as they live in human hearts.

PAX! ^_^

We fought the Vietnam War because it helped put the brakes on a system of government that---when implemented---killed 120 million people.

You used to say communism killed 90 million. Then 100. Now it's 120?

Please don't pretend you actually read that little red book you like to refer to. The number goes up every 6 months in your posts.

We? Are you part of the 1%ers club now, Mao?

No.

I guess I'm part of the 90%ers--who went ahead and made careers, created families, and became happy, fulfilled human beings.

The ideology of the sixties that celebrated peace, love, freedom, harmony, inclusion and simple shared humanity has never lost, Mao.

Except that wasn't what the ideology of the sixties was about.

at the end of the day the human default setting is on good not evil.

You're not a history major, are you?

120 million people, Spud.

You're the guy who straightens his back to talk about what a brave dissenter you'd be in a Nazi regime.

Just a defaulter to stupid-ass narratives about "MICs" and such.

I'm glad I don't have to sleep with your conscience.
Scum.



You used to say communism killed 90 million. Then 100. Now it's 120?

I think the agreed upon number is 120 million.

More or less.

I'm curious as to what you point is.

I guess I'm part of the 90%ers--who went ahead and made careers, created families, and became happy, fulfilled human beings.


Yeah, we can tell you're happy. You exude it from your pores.

-Fucking off from leftist scum territory, -Alex

I'm curious as to what you point is.

You inflate the number every few months. I'm curious as to what your point in doing that is.

Let's go with 60 million.

Does that make it OK?

You douche?

You inflate the number every few months

No I don't.

How about you pick one established number, and then stop ratcheting it up for no reason every few months?

This is history, not what you feel like making up.

Does that make it OK?

I hope you didn't get straw scratches on your pecker with that one.

What was it last April?

Or are you just running your fucking mouth?

Douche?

You did it on your other name several times.

I really don't care if you don't believe me, pinche. You flat out lied about your stock options, and then did a little dance when confronted about it. SO I'm not expecting any honesty or integrity from a hate-filled thing like you.

Not going to waste my time doing a "hans" on internet archives RCADE doesn't even keep, and I'd have to find using the way back machine...just so you can lie about it when caught again.

Label it under "fucking with you over an old point because you're a bullying asshole" if it helps you sleep better.

How about you pick one established number

I don't believe I've ever "deviated" from the number of people murdered by the cancer of the Communist ideology.

It's fairly well documented.

Why are you apologizing for it?

What's your motivation?

I'm truly curious.

I guess I'm part of the 90%ers--who went ahead and made careers, created families, and became happy, fulfilled human beings.

You fucking leftists douches. Quit running your fucking mouths, you scum.

I AM HAPPY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT? FUCK YOU CUNTS!

-Pinche Mao.

I'm glad I don't have to sleep with your conscience

Spud sleeps just swell thanx.

Spud's glad he actually has a conscience.

Sounds like Mao's conscience is sleep with the fishes.

...and became happy

Yes, Spud read yer self help book...

"I'm OK, you're lefty Scum!"

It really helped put things in perspective fer Spud.

Ta fer that.

Keep smilin', Pinche-Mao-Syndrome.

Be Well.

Not going to waste my time doing a "hans" on internet archives

Be my guest, twat.

Why are you apologizing for it?

More straw. I NEVER apologized for that, just wondered why you keep escalating the numbers over the years.

Maybe you're just running your fucking mouth?

Spud- I enjoy watching pinche proudly exhibit his vile inner self. It undercuts his ideology better than anything else.

After years of being an abusive jackass on this board, I doubt if most people would believe him if he told them grass was green.

Plus he just deserves the grief for being such a pud.

I'm off to watch the original, colorless, night of the living dead. It was made back when communism was actually a threat worth frothing at the mouth over.

Seeya in the past, pinche.

Spud's glad he actually has a conscience

Wot?

Is that the "conscience" that sez its OK to murder unborn children because our "population" needs it?

Or the "conscience" that sez its OK to create huge swaths of humanity dependant on government entitelements?

That's not "conscience", Spud.

That's the guilt of a failed ideology that was allowed to get out of hand at one point.

just wondered why you keep escalating the numbers over the years.

Never did.

Fucking liar.

:)

You smile cuz you know I can't find it. Been too long, and you'd just spin the results anyway.

You've been had, back when it mattered.

It was made back when communism was actually a threat worth frothing at the mouth over.

You're too dumb and innocent to be an actual Communist.

But we still have guys like Herm---who cling to the dream.

And guys like Spud, who long for the torch.

Its assumptions and ideas.

You've been had, back when it mattered.

No, Sally.

You've never "had" anyone on this forum.

Least of all me.

But we still have guys like Herm---who cling to the dream.

And guys like Spud, who long for the torch.


Thank God you're not allergic to straw.

You sure I'm not still 'apologizing' for communism, you dumb piece of shit?

No stock tips, pinche?

Or do you not have them in this thread? lol...

You know it.

And so do I.

Which might explain your incresing tendency to default to your interpretations of years-old threads to advance the ad hominem cunt-wafts you blow my way every evening.

Then there was the time you told me, spud was there, that illegal immigrants didn't make less money than legal Americans.

You've been a laugh factory for quite some time now.

You sure I'm not still 'apologizing' for communism, you dumb piece of shit?

Positive.

You know it.

And so do I.


Yes, I know that sometimes you get frothy, step on your dick, and are too proud to admit it. Then the lying and spinning starts, stock tip boy.

Plus you're just a mean bitter old bastard. Certainly not as "happy" or "fulfilled" as you must pretend to be in front of all of us.

It's transparent, and this is coming from someone you regard as a naive dummy, so imagine how many other people can tell what you really are.

What this country needs is a good 2 dollar hit of acid.
(Or maybe the chocolate mescalin)
Peace

Well give the Right Wing a museum of their very own too! One with memories and photos of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the bombing of Laos and Cambodia not to forget all that Agent Orange and dozens of other toxins and land mines,courtesy of the Republican US Military Industrial Complex,that they dumped and inflicted on those people in southeast asia.Or how about all that right wing developed nerve gas and bio weapons they discarded and dumped in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Plus add in illegal pre-emptive wars,torture and extraordinary extraditions,depleted uranium and a whole scary lot more!
That left wing,peacenik,hippie museum will be extremely tame,dull and boring in comparison!

"Hitler killed 6 million."

Posted by Pinche_Mao at 2007-10-29 01:25 AM


Always figured old pinchy was an apologist for nazis:

The Holocaust was the killing of approximately six million European Jews, as well as another 6 million others who were deemed "unworthy of life" (including the disabled and mentally ill, Soviet POWs, homosexuals, Freemasons and Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Roma) as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by the National Socialist government in Germany led by Adolf Hitler.
Way to go there, pinchy. Make Hitler and his "friends" look just a little bit better by cutting in half the number of innocents they killed.

Figures, you righty scum.

Hans

Woodstock became a magical expression of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, no thanks to the Feds. (It began as another money making plan which fell to pieces in the short term).

So what next, a Federal grant for a monument to Altamont?

nice meter here . . .

"It's great to be a hippie and get wasted all the time!"

I couldn't make it to the 1969 Woodstock Festival, I was in SEA at the time. I was partying there in spirit, though!

Peace, love, drugs!

Woodstock was a wonderful dream....

Righties like Mao love to crap on peoples dreams...

If it doesn't conform to your sense of morality then it should be outlawed and anyone who thinks such thoughts is a communist or in today's vernacular a liberal...

Where are all the hippies? Well, today it seems that any homeless dirty vagabond is called a hippie. Not true! Hippies are those that now live "off the grid". Hippies are using biodiesel or photovoltaic cells or other alternate energies. The "hippies" bought farms and started organic gardens. The "hippies" are everywhere...the idea has spread among us and kind of like minute men we wait in the background out of the limelight. Fightin the good fight to save the planet and our humanity.

We have learned the new technologies and we abide by the law of the land even if we don't agree with them. WE have become lawyers and doctors and engineers. We are environmentalists and scientists. We have had children and we are trying to teach our children love and kindness in a mean and cruel world.

And here in Humboldt County, Ca we have medical marijuana cards to keep the Man at bay cause the Man be trying to keep us down!


I LOVED the Woodstock film. Many, many people were turned away by the closing of the NY Turnpike, or there might have been close to a million there.

Most people of our generation would support this endeavor, just don't ask for Fed funds to back it. NY and private donors, knock yourself out. With all of the interest in Classic Rock this sounds like it could be a big hit!

BTW How can you tell good music? It has staying power. Songs from the like of Brittany, M+M, (any) Rappers, die a quick death. Most new songs are for shit.....

And here in Humboldt County, Ca we have medical marijuana cards to keep the Man at bay cause the Man be trying to keep us down!

Donner you're right about the folks who live "off the grid" etc. but if you could somehow track down all the people who were at Woodstock, you'd find a surprisingly huge number of very comfortable SUV-driving, portfolio-sweating, TV-watching, hard-minded conservatives from both the Right and the Left. Probably split right down the middle on Repub vs. Dem. Middle America, you might say.

Speaking of crapping on someone's dreams, did you ever look at the aftermath of Woodstock?
