Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, December 07, 2008

Deepak Chopra has written an open letter to Sean Hannity after appearing on his show and being described as a person who is "blaming America" for the Mumbai attacks. "Your habit of taking statements out of context and playing the blaming game is sad," he writes. "You have a powerful platform that influences many people. Why do you use your influence to monger fear, militancy, divisiveness, and jingoism?"

Ouch! Right on Deep!

Yeah...but if you think that scumbag Hannity'll give a shit, you'd be wrong.

The day that asswipe apologizes, or realizes what a maroon he is? Lucifer himself will be selling snowcones at the mall.

They've lost both their power and their credibility.

What credibility?

Making Hanutty look the fool is not a difficult endeavor.

He's rather simple in his thinking and if given the opportunity to speak without having your mic cutoff, most people could make him look like the hack he truly is.

Facts are not Hanutty's friend.

Hannity plays the only cards he has--all negative and critical, no solutions in sight.

While I'm no fan of Hannity I don't see a letter that Hannity probably didn't read (and certainly not care if he did) and published on a site he definitely doesn't read (his fans either) as a woodshed beating.

Actually, I don't think I'd ever describe a letter as a woodshed beating. Maybe he'll go back on sometime and they can have a real confrontation, but a strongly worded letter is kind of silly.

give em hell 6 pak--try to knock some sense into that thick, hibernian skull.

He sent the letter TO Hannity first. When he didn't receive any response he published it.

Whether Hannity responds to a letter or visits a website doesn't really have anything to do with anything. Hannity had an oppportunity to address Chopras points directly and chose not to. So he has been exposed publicly yet again for the hack he is. And IMO, that's being taken to the woodshed.

And why is writing a letter in response to a real or perceived wrong "silly"?

Deepak Chopra takes Yawn HamncheeZ to the woodshed?

Calls him a fearmonger?

Sez he's abusing his bully pulpit?

Calls his continual recitation of Rtard talknig points "jingoism"

OHHHHH Suh-NAP!!

Good eye, SanAn!

Is like present fer the likes of Spud.

Yer like SanAnta Claus!

Be Well.

Who the fuck is Deepak Chopra and who cares what he thinks? Everyone though, even whacky libs pay attention when Sean Hannity speaks.

Who the fuck is Deepak Chopra ...

Who is surprised?

Anyone?

Anyone?


Bueller?

even whacky libs pay attention when Sean Hannity speaks.

Only long enuff to realise that he's being serious and that yes, he really is that stupid.

Then we break into peals of laughter.

You prolly think he's an intellectual heanyweight.

Here's a clue to you fer free, FuckWit Thom:

HamncheeZ would need to put on much brain poundage in order to be even considered a lightweight.

At present he's somewhere in between "flyweight" and a "paperweight".

Be Well.

who cares what he thinks?

As previously discussed yer ability to not care is only superceded by yer ability to not think.

Most people don't go around boasting of their own ignorance, FuckWit, but you and yer bretheren on the right seem to make a habit of it.

Is funny and sad at the same time.

Be Well.

Who the fuck is Deepak Chopra and who cares what he thinks

I had no idea either, so I had to google him. Here's what came up in Wiki:

Deepak Chopra (Hindi: दीपक चोपड़ा; born October 22, 1946) is an Indian medical doctor and writer. He has written extensively on spirituality and diverse topics in mind-body medicine.

Since I'm not into spirituality and the whole New Age thing, I'm not surprised I never heard from him. I guess I should read the article, but what did he take Sean to the woodshed for? Not wearing enough crystals or burning enough incense?

"even whacky libs pay attention when Sean Hannity speaks."
FWTHOM is just spouting his typical delusions, sadly he even believes it! No hope for him!

Thanks GOAT for looking up who Deepak Chopra is. Now I will try to forget all about the guy so I can fit more Sean Hannity quotes in my brain.

Actually, I don't think I'd ever describe a letter as a woodshed beating

I wouldn't either. But anytime anyone with a mouthpiece says something even slightly critical of the right, the left soil themselves with glee.

Interesting - I guess it must take some special talent to have an opinion about an article without even reading it.

*sigh* I grow weary of explaining things to the dull.

Post #15 was a question. It was not voicing an opinion on the article as you said.

Post #18 was an opinion, but it was not one on the article. It was a response to greendad's post #7.

Please work on those comprehension skills, santa annie.

Welcome to the newest member of the "let's twist goatman's post so it says what I want it to say, not what he meant" club. Wait! You're already a member, aren't you? Never mind.

Libs will have Al Franken back soon to run his mouth on Air America and all 10 listeners can wet their pants again. In the mean time all you assholes can come up with is Deepak Chopacock? Libs downfall is that they have no sense of humour. You lefties are too serious. Listen to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaigh if you want funny.

"Post #18 was an opinion, but it was not one on the article. It was a response to greendad's post #7."

Soooo then... you were able to form an opinion that this letter couldn't constitute taking someone to the woodshed, without reading either the letter or the article.

I seeeeeee.

And I stand by my statement that it must take a special talent.

Oh, and I think its cute that you find it necessary to come up with a little nickname for me. Not particularly creative, but a valiant effort anyway.

"And why is writing a letter in response to a real or perceived wrong "silly"?

#9 | Posted by SanAntonioRogue"

Maybe its just me. From a different time I guess, but if someone started talking about me the way Chopra says Hannity talked about him that person would get more than a letter.

I'm not a Hannity fan, in fact I'm not a fan of any of those types of hosts right or left. I'm just saying Hannity won't lose sleep over this, won't lose viewers over this, won't lose advertisers over this and therefore won't lose money over this. I don't see it as a "woodshed" beating. But its just my opinion.

Sorry, meant to add on to my last post that he ended the letter with "Love, Deepak." That's another reason why I called it a silly letter, because nobody loves Sean Hannity.

"Listen to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaigh if you want funny."

Hans, did Gretel let you out of the Black Forest gingerbread house for the day?

No you dooooooon't

My statement was based on greendad's clearly stated position on the article.

Oh, and I think its cute that you find it necessary to come up with a little nickname for me.

Not really necessary, but I thought I'd join all the others on this site who do it, too. I know the nicknames really bother you because you chastize those on the left who do it daily.

Save your faux indignation, please. Your foot is already irretractibly mounted in your mouth.

Hannity is stupid.

Oh dear Goat, you still have learned that just because you say something doesn't make it so.

But if you want to form your opinions based on what another poster writes as their opinion, rather than take a minute or two to read and digest the information in the original article, I'm cool with that.

Now I've wasted enough time with you on this. So go ahead and post whatever you like. You can have the last word since I know that gives you such pleasure.

Oh dear Goat, you still have learned that just because you say something doesn't make it so

And you still haven't learned that just because you claim I said something that it is so.

"Deepak Chopra, hater of Palin...."

LOL!

I remember him spouting silly and hateful stuff about Palin pre- November 4 .... Maybe he changed as the election is over.

Gee, what hateful stuff did he say?

Sorry I cannot recall his exact words (pls check Huffingtonpost archives), but he spiritualized Palin as all things negative, or something to that effect....

"Maybe he'll go back on sometime and they can have a real confrontation, but a strongly worded letter is kind of silly."

What's so silly about a strongly, concisely worded letter that speaks to Hannity's use of the public airwaves as a bully pulpit? That's what he's doing, and Chopra called him on it. While that may not carry the testosterone wallop that today's TV viewers thrive on, peaceful, courteous, implacable resistance usually carries the day.

For starters, people (and I use that term loosely) like Hannity usually have less than no idea how to respond.

Who the fuck is Deepak Chopra and who cares what he thinks? Everyone though, even whacky libs pay attention when Sean Hannity speaks.

Funny but true flag.

money, ratings... ratings, money....

Come on Choopra, surely deep in your heart, you know we're both charlatans. A charlatan with charisma is worth more than people who do actual work.

I watched Hannity debate the SLC Mayor Rocky. Rocky had facts on his side but couldn't speak succinctly and had to be repeatedly stopped. Hannity exhibited a deeper understanding of life's nuance, and facts than he has ever exhibited on his ridiculous TV show. Both of these guys make tons of money preaching to their choirs.

What I don't understand is why does anyone with any credibility or integrity go on shows like Hannity's. By doing so they dignify that trailer park trash and make it appear that his opinions have some connection to reality. I think less of Chopra for even going on the show in the first place.

Danni. I love people like you. It is so easy to reduce liberals to poor people full of hate for the wealthy when there are people like you on the internet. thank You

Hannity is only funny if you consider stupid funny. In that case, he's very funny.

Hannity is just another extension of the newspapers...you need 'sensationalism' to sell..
ever notice when someone is making a valid point, he quickly shuts them up or talks over them so that his exposure is limited.. this is what most talk radio survives on and always will be... but, just remember, there are a lot of people who enjoy and subscribe to this crap who have very little mind of their own...

"What's so silly about a strongly, concisely worded letter that speaks to Hannity's use of the public airwaves as a bully pulpit?"

To me it is silly because it accomplishes nothing. Hannity sucks, but this won't show that to any of his viewers. If Chopra went back on his show and delivered this same message and embarassed him on the air, it would have been much more powerful. This letter does nothing.

The atheists on the parapets defending against religion, well excluding Islamic beliefs anyway, have turned quite pragmatic in enlisting Deepak in their cause. Is it this, "The enemy of my enemy thing is my friend" thing. In that case you should also be embracing Sean, since he is like a gnat, while the spread of Chopra's views would result in everything being a big "Ohm."

You can duel with Hannity. Chopra is the antithesis of everything you stand for. They are both your enemies with Chopra being a far more deadly opponent. Oh, oh, the Trojan Horse is within the gates.

Well, Hannity is invidious, but Chopra is insidious in undermining your positions.

So, for those of you who are trying to trash Chopra's opinion because of his profession, you are deep in a logical fallacy.
Chopra, is like Oprah (they even rhyme). His job is to help people feel good. However, he is an INDIAN celebrity. Hannity decided to have him on his show to discuss the terrorism in INDIA (you know, to get a closer perspective), and when Chopra expressed his personal opinion (that constant American intervention in muslim nations actually can lead to MORE terrorism) Hannity pounced and distorted his words so as to hide the fact that Chopra actually had a legitimate point. He started screaming that Chopra was blaming America for Mumbai, however Chopra was not actually saying this. So he mailed him a letter, asking for a correction/clarification, because Chopra (correctly) felt that he had been wronged. I actually applaud him on this method because he gave Hannity a chance to save face, as opposed to the all to popular method of going on some other show and screaming about the guy who pissed you off. Hannity, however, did not want to admit that Chopra had a point, so he ignored the letter. So Chopra posted the letter online, so as to allow people to understand what he actually meant.

So while yes, some of his points are not fully valid, that does not make him a raging, idiot liberal. He actually seems very polite about all this, first gaving Hannity a chance to retract his own statement.

And by his points, I meant his medical theory (but psychologically speaking they actually do have some merit, although I haven't done extensive study of them)

Hannity is a neurologist too. Remember how he diagnosed Terri Schiavo? What a Renaissance man!

When it comes to who is responsible for the attacks in Mumbai, has anyone ever considered "proximate cause." These people are going so far afield that an analogy to the Lorenz Effect is in order. I suppose that you could attribute the jihadist murders to the Big Bang since that purportedly precipitated the chain of events that resulted in our existence as a species on Planet Earth. Or others can attribute our existence to God, who created the Heavens and the Earth.

Everybody and everything is "responsible" in a holistic world. But there is a "proximate cause." And the proximate cause of the attacks is the existence and activities of jihadist scum. The Islamics perpetrated these attacks, no one else. It is done by their initiative.The problem is how to remove them as a threat to other human beings trying to live their lives. Engaging in non-productive ruminations concerning why this malignancy should not be considered threatening to our way of life, is an exercise in insanity.

The problem is whether Islam itself is a vector that "carries" jihadists along with it. Mosquitoes carry malaria. How do we address it. Do we attack the Plasmodium falciparum, the micro-organism that causes malaria, trying to destroy it? Do we try to cause it to mutate somehow? Do we ourselves mutate and develop sickle cells to thwart the micro-organism? Or do we also recognize that we need to destroy the breeding places of the vector, the mosquito, and the mosquito itself, and that a three-pronged attack is necessary. Attack the jihadis. Attack their breeding places. Attack Islam.

Remember that the human body accommodated itself to malaria, but another consequence was the deadly sickle cell anemia, which although we were able to live long enough to reproduce, then struck us down early on. A better strategy involves removing the disease by destroying its vector. Otherwise it lingers to rise again.

What some are suggesting is that we merely allow the malady to spread, and that somehow jihadists will be deterred if we just "let them be." Such passivity would not work with malaria. We would be overcome. It certainly would not work for a body afflicted with cancer.

The jihadis are impelled by Islam and its doctrines that are hostile to the rest of mankind. Islam has been expansionist since its inception. It began in a portion of Saudi Arabia and was spread by the sword ever since, until now when it controls the minds of a huge number of people, making it more formidable. Islam is proactive and not reactive to our attempts to defend ourselves, although they use any facet of existence to incite their followers to devote even more energy to conquering others and subjecting them to sharia law.

Islam is a system similar to that of the medieval Inquisition that disparages and suppresses free thought, murders non-believers, and in addition treats women as sub-humans, among other aspects of that world view. We need to be prepared to advance our own beliefs as the consequences of submission to Islam are far too odious. Those whose primary goal is peace despite the fact that they would them be servile half-men, are similar to those earlier cowards, who did not value their manhood and freedom, the "Better red than dead" crowd."

These pacifist scum are undercutting the will and the ability of civilization to defend itself against the disease of Islam and its virulent expression, jihadism.

Islam is a cancer. We need to be willing to use the knife to it to extirpate it from the body. Use chemotherapy. Use radiation threapy. Use other means to fortify ourselves. But do not rely on spontaneous remission. It is a hard struggle, but it is a worthwhile struggle if we are to survive as free people. There are too many people who are servile by nature and are willing to submit their lives to Islam. These are the half-men of the West, conciliatory talkers, who are unwilling to fight for their freedom.

Johnson do you realize how many Muslims there are? To kill this cancer would mean killing the host which is the world. It would mean the end times. I don't want to die in order to advance your neocon agenda which would not advance since we would all be dead.

"If Chopra went back on his show and delivered this same message and embarassed him on the air,"

G-Dad, he did just that, according to the report he read his piece on air during his sirious-xm show.

Johnson do you realize how many Muslims there are?

Yes. This source
islam.about.com shows the number as 1,126,325,000, and also the distribution throughout the world.
To kill this cancer would mean killing the host which is the world. It would mean the end times.

I didn't realize that you were a millennialist? But no, there are other ways to address the matter in addition to killing those who engage in violent acts, and in proactively destroying areas in which they are festering, preparing for onslaughts.

These involve curtailing the privileges extended to them in the West to use mosques and other facilities for promulgating their doctrines and rallying extremists for violent action, the justification of their premises. We should stop accommodation of such activities. We should also put pressure on the Saudis and others funding hostile teachings against the West to desist. There are ways that the chemo and radiation can kill off the malignancy. I believe that we should confront them, and that can triumph over "militant Islam."

But instead we are docile and not responsive to the aggression against us and its genesis. And we have those who among us, who counsel dererence to those who assail us, and view us as provoking what is an incident of Islam. There is in the West som much self-doubt and uncertainty regarding ourselves as if we need to justify our being to anyone.

I don't want to die in order to advance your neocon agenda which would not advance since we would all be dead.

Make peace with the realization that you will die, rasta, and then decide how you want to live. Do you suggest a desire to live life as free people is limited to "the neocon agenda." What a sad commentary. In your view that there are not others in the West, who may also cherish autonomy and freedom.

Are you a member of the "Rather Islamic than dead" crowd? You seem to view those as the alternatives. Possibly rasta, you are an Islamic, and living under that system is congenial to your world view. But it is anathema to the way I would want to live my life, and I'm willing to confront it in any way possible.

Johnson I think being A Dhimmi wouldn't be so bad.

Johnson-
re: Are you a member of the "Rather Islamic than dead" crowd?

Is there a support group that you could recommend? Better yet, could you pull out of your ass a quote from anyone who has ever said this? And while you're at it, could you state the percentage of the US population that is Muslim?

"These involve curtailing the privileges extended to them in the West to use mosques and other facilities for promulgating their doctrines and rallying extremists for violent action, the justification of their premises.

But you surely shouldn't stop at just Islam, you MUST include Cristianity and Judaism in list of MUST be purged....

You run your mouth behind the monitor but in a real debate face to face you would clam up like a coward.

Oh wait. Got it. You want some "bricks and mortar" forum for debate. Well let's all convene. Where? And who will undertake to pay for the convocation?

What are you proposing rasta?

Oh, you think that I'm shy?

Or are you requesting that I justify my views on the blog by posting a curriculum vitae as well as proclaiming how tough I am. Am I required to engage in hyperbole that some languages seem to favor, proclaiming for everyone just how powerful I am and just what I'll do to them. Ah, "the mother of all debates" with the outcome declared favorable to my view?

I'm from the West, rasta, and the proof is in the pudding.

Let's see. If I had earned a GED, and could bench press 400 pounds, run the 100 meter dash in 8 seconds, won the Olympic Marathon, and whatever else turns you on, would that provide cachet for my views? From your perspective that is?

I'm at somewhat of a loss to grasp just what you're getting at.

#70 | Posted by Liberal_Mongrel at 2008-12-08 11:52 AM

This is perplexing.

The excesses of militant Islam, the continuing outrages perpetrated in furtherance of their program , the 9/11 attacks, the Mumbai attacks, among others, the rhetoric declaring their jihad against civilized people, and their intent to destroy them and/or subjugate them ... How is that related to the rather benign activities of Christians and Jews nowadays as required by their religions.

Are Christians killing people for "insulting Christianity?" Is there anything similar to the fatwahs of Islam? And are the Jews ...? Wait, the Jews don't even proselyte.

What is it concerning this matter that causes you to compare Islam, which is aggressive and militant and engaged in killing people worldwide based on its precepts, with Christians and Jews in this context? What is it about the Chrisitiand and Jews that would require mustering of force to restrain them from such actions. They don't engage in them as a matter of religious mandate.

"To me it is silly because it accomplishes nothing. Hannity sucks, but this won't show that to any of his viewers. If Chopra went back on his show and delivered this same message and embarassed him on the air, it would have been much more powerful. This letter does nothing."

Greendad:

Life is not a Maury Povich episode. Chopra's words are intended to make people think, not whup ass. By putting the idea out there that Hannity is misusing his power, Chopra has begun to undermine that power, in a peaceable way. Words on a blog do have power; I can easily remember words from a few years ago that spoke to the idea that George W. Bush wasn't nearly the President he should be. Many people were quite scornful of that notion, but the quiet, peaceful resistance to DubyaCo has had an effect, as I think even you will admit. Some of the words since have been less quiet, but no process is perfect.

It is my belief - and my hope - that we are headed towards an era that is more peaceful, more thoughtful, more egalitarian, more oriented towards work and thrift. High-testosterone bellowing, posturing, divisiveness, and consumerism are so Bush-era.

Hannity's a dinosaur. He just doesn't know it yet.

Johnson-
It is truly terrible how Islamic nations have militarily invaded and occupied Christian nations. Again, what percentage of the US population is Muslim?

It is amazing how hateful and ignorant those blogging here are. You liberals cannot discuss anything without lying and name calling. Try using facts. Oh yeah, you don't have any. You are a waste of human DNA. You are so scared of anyone with knowledge you do the cowardly thing, resort to name calling. Chopra is nothing more than a new age shill who extracts money from liberal morons (not maroons like one liberal spelled) and made himself rich with a false religion, yet he is lying in his article and letter because he got exposed for the pretender that he is, yet you liberals take his side because you don't have the cajones to admit a conservative is right. You are hypocrites because you liberals are supposed to be tolerant, yet you prove what liars you are, because you are not tolerant of those who disagree with you. Shut off your computers and we'll send someone to get them so you won't continue showing you hate and ignorance.

"No one expects the left wing to change, but for what it's worth, they have entered an era of dilusion. They've gained power and lost their credibility. Instead of trying to blaming America for all of the worlds problems, they should educate themselves about being an American. And they should re-educate themselves about dirty pool and below-the-belt attacks. Just a thought."

Change was promised but the same players are playing the same game. Many appointees to the cabinet profited handsomly from the very financial deals that have cause this economic downturn. Punish them today!

dilusion = delusion

You liberals cannot discuss anything without lying and name calling. Try using facts. Oh yeah, you don't have any. You are a waste of human DNA.

Well it looks like there is no name callin here. Nice to see you are just a dumbass liberal.

Yeah...and did you count up all the 'facts' ozark included in his post? Friggin 'libtard!

"did you count up all the 'facts' ozark included in his post"

Tried to. Since I can't count past zero, I was lucky.

"Friggin 'libtard!"

Ah, the newest Ozark is a libtard. Well, that explains the 'facts'! LOL.

"Ah, the newest Ozark is a libtard"

I was being facetious. Ozarksunshine stated that all liberals argue with lies and name-calling, and never use facts. We were just alerting Mrs/Mr Ozark to her/his self-retort.

Personally, I haven't found the need to call anyone a Libtard, Rethuglican, asshat, pole-smoker, etc.......


.........yet.

"Oh? I don't sling mindless insults"-Johnson

Did you miss the adjective, mrsoul?
"You're functioning on one cylinder".-Johnson

"But deth flaunts his(ignorance) in each of his posts.'-Johnson

"Possibly rasta, you are an Islamic"-Johnson(personally, I wouldn't consider this insult...but I'm sure the 'source' intended it as such)

"Possibly you're referring to an attempt by some impaired people..."#41 | Posted by Johnson at 2008-12-03 07:06 PM | Reply | Flag:

If you wish.

By the way, for your edification, I inquired of rasta's background not intending the inquiry as an insult, but trying to learn of his possible motivations, and the indoctrination to which he had been exposed.

As to "impaired people," how is that an insult? I suspect that this was in a context relating to a disability that results in a mode of action by some group or other, and denial of the disability. A good example of this is activists for blind people referring to their impairment as rendering them "otherwise abled," rather than being a limitation. This is an inanity as they are "disabled" lacking abilities of normal people not affected by this disability, and unable for example to drive a car. They do suffer limitations. This is unfortunate, but is a fact that it is necessary to note in discussing the matter, if the disability is at issue.

Your self-pedestalization* must be effecting your memory Johnson...or do you simply justify your lies and hypocrisy, as a necessary means of conveying your all-knowing observations of the world?

Johnson I think being A Dhimmi wouldn't be so bad.

Are you speaking for yourself. If you are a non-Muslim you can live under such conditions by moving to a country governed by sharia law. Iran might be a good choice for you.

If you are a Muslim, then you are just speculating on how living as a dhimmi would affect someone else. I can assure you that there are some of us, who would not like to live with thought repressed and as second class people subject to all sorts of onerous taxes and restrictions.

If you are a Muslim, then you would need to become an apostate to live as a dhimmi, and the fate of apostates in Islam is such that you would not continue in dhimmi status for long.

So, are you recommending dhimmi status for others, rasta, or are you suggesting that you might find living as a dhimmi congenial to yourself?

#69 | Posted by BetelG at 2008-12-08 11:45 AM

... could you state the percentage of the US population that is Muslim?

Not offhand, Geuse. If you're really interested, you can obtain the information by googling a reliable source.

Johnson I want you to live as a Dhimmi because I think you deserve it. I believe you to be the epitome of what is wrong with this country. You use your intelligence to further your own greedy endeavors rather than helping others.

"Self-pedestalization, copyright by mrsoul. I'll keep that in mind, and try not to infringe on your claim to use of the word"

Ahh, but you were my inspiration Johnson...my 'muse' so to speak. Anyone can see you are quite impressed with yourself and your opinions. And despite your continued denials and bogus rationalizations...you obviously have a habit of denigrating anyone who dares to disagree with you.


Maybe a smiley face after my 'copyright' would have clued you in on my intended satire...but I doubt it.

Johnson is not the epitome of what is wrong with this country, he is the epitome of what used to be wrong with this country. The day of those hateful scum is over. Thankfully.

"You use your intelligence"...rastaninja referring to Johnson.

I'll stop short of questioning someone's intelligence. But I will say that possessing a good vocabulary isn't always an indicator of someone possessing true intellectual thought.

What's that saying....'lipstick on a pig'?

Well--that's not exactly how this happened--there is a transcript linked for the banter back and forth on the show between Chopra and Hannity.

Problem with these shows is that they never have enough time--especially when they have two guests on for the same segment.


The link shows that Chopra was talking about root causes to jihadists. Both Chopra and Cohen were basically agreeing that we need to kill the terrorists and at the same time root out the causes to stop "creating" more terrorists.

Chopra also threw a bomb at Fox for "supporting the war". When just about every single news org was supporting the war in the beginning.

Then the letter from Chopra states he "read a report" about the next night's show where he states Hannity says Chopra blames America for the Mumbia attacks.

Now when you check out the transcript--Chopra was not saying that it was America's fault for Mumbia.

In fact, Hannity ended the segment by asking Chopra to come back so they could talk about the issue more.

What is bothersome is Chopra "read a report". What the heck does that mean? Who's report? HufnPuf??

Did Hannity actually say what Chopra "read in the report".

And instead of moving the conversation and the debate forward--Chopra goes on the attack against Hannity and the "right wing"--whoever that is.

So who is doing a below the belt attack here? Based on reading a report no less?

It appears it is Chopra.

Johnson-
Since that statistic, of which you are well aware, has escaped you, I will provide it:

The Muslim hordes are currently about 1/2 of 1% of the US population.

Murphy-
re: 'Did Hannity actually say what Chopra "read in the report".'

Well, did he or not?

I always thought a lot of chopra UNTIL I read what he called barry

he said that barry was "a quantum leap in american consciousness"


what a load of horse shit

but it goes right with the other MESSIAH names that we havent heard much from lately since taking over is the LAST THING that obama wants to do now.

"Hannity exhibited a deeper understanding of life's nuance,"

Ha, that's a good one!

What happened to that peace and love crap from Chopra? What a phoney! I love how he wondered why Hannity didn't respond to Chopra's radio show comments - like anyone listens to that show. I have Sirius and had no idea he even had a show. LMFAO.

Chopra says stupid things under the guise of spirituality and liberals and the spiritually blind clap with admiration and make him laugh his way to the bank. My concern is that many are being led to hell or in danger of ending up in hell because of this blindness perpetrated by Chopra. And Oprah too, she has spun some very dangerous stuff and the gullibles are trapped in this feel good spirituality that keeps them blind.

God just told me you're blind to spirituality and stuck on religion, TAKITEZ

He told me a few other things, but I'd rather roll them out one at a time ....

Takit-
If you are a light in the darkness, I think I'll just close the blinds and take a nap, dude.

Hehehe.... good to observe how liberals react.

John Newton admitted he was blind once, but later he saw --- the LIGHT. (Amazing Grace).

You're not helping your ostensible cause much, Takit. Salvation is indeed a rare gift, but most sinners don't want a lobotomy to get there. Go figure...

If anyone can come to the realization that Chopra's spirituality and Oprah-coated spirituality are full of deceit, then that person is a step closer to the Kingdom of God.

People get scammed because they were convinced they were dealing with the real thing; likewise, some people remain in a state of deception because they are convinced they are in the real thing --- Chopra and Oprah, among many others, are deceiving thousands (if not millions) to remain in a state of spiritual blindness, and in danger of going to hell if they don't wake up.

And not only that, but this example of Christian "maturity" enjoys "the privilege of rubbing it on liberals' nose".

Real God-like, there.

Hey, I just saw Chopra and his son on Fox News. Now I know who those two whacko assholes are. But I don't understand why they are important figures to be on the news. Maybe some DR lib can explain the enigma.

"Greendad:


Life is not a Maury Povich episode."

I certainly didn't mean to come across that I wanted Chopra to hurl a chair at Sean and they both duke it out from there.

"Chopra's words are intended to make people think, not whup ass. By putting the idea out there that Hannity is misusing his power, Chopra has begun to undermine that power, in a peaceable way. "

I'm sorry but I just don't agree. The majority of the people who read the Huffington Post probably don't watch him, and I doubt many of his fans visit the site. If this letter were say published in the OpEd section of the times, where it might get more noticed maybe it would have an effect, but I'm guessing that effect would actually be positive for Hannity if his fans came to his defense.

I see what you're saying but I highly doubt this letter will have any effect on Hannity's career.

re: "Hey, I just saw Chopra and his son on Fox News. Now I know who those two whacko assholes are. But I don't understand why they are important figures to be on the news. Maybe some DR lib can explain the enigma."

Sure. Fox News is to news what crabs are to sex.

hehehe.... I knew Hans would show up somehow. Predictable. He has taken on the role of ACCUSER.

I am painfully aware that in modern society sharing the gospel has not been popular, specially among polite circles or among elites or celebrities or the high and mighty or liberals or scientists, whatever. So sharing the gospel to such people is like 'rubbing it on their nose' --- I used this phrase in that sense.

But scripture does not say that we are to share the gospel only when it is popular or convenient. So here am I, regardless of hints and attacks by detractors (such as Hans, Boaz, Betelg, Lipzo, Rasta, AU, etc, ) not to share spiritual or biblical matters, SHARING THE GOSPEL ANYWAY. "The privilege of rubbing it on liberals' nose."

------------------------------
-

Even if a reader here is distracted by some of these named above, please refocus on the eternally important message: read my posts #106 and #112 again --- if (a big if) you happen to be a fan of Chopra or Oprah and have been deceived by their 'spiritual' messages, and these posts happen to jolt you into seeking the real truth in Christ (John 8:12), then you will have escaped HELL for eternity. (it's worth cannot be put it into dollar figures, but for you it will be worth more than $1 billion for sure in light of eternity. Please don't go to hell.)

Takit-
re: "The privilege of rubbing it on liberals' nose."

Thank you for your selfless service in being a provincial ignorant and arrogant asshole in the name of our Lord Jesus.

(we all know that Jesus/Reagan hated the liberals)
