Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, April 10, 2009

LTR: Reactionary media personalities often prey on gullible people like Richard Poplawski to make up their fan base. Anyone familiar with right-wing shock jocks knows that few of them would ever shy away from scaring the living crap out of you. Whether it be a loose cannon government, loss of gun rights or the wrath of God, they know the buttons to push to get the lemmings to pay heed. But is there a point when it goes a bit too far? Should the hosts of these gabfests assume any kind of responsibility when someone takes their caustic rants seriously enough to reach a drastic final solution?

Did you ever catch Rhandi and her phone-ins when she was screeching across Air America?
There are more than a few "cans of nuts" on both extremes of the parties.

Remember when Bush was going to declare martial law?

Remember when Clinton was going to declare martial law?

Yeah from what I remember Bush was still going to be president due to an act of terror before the transition of power...

'Cuse me all to hell? Rhandi Rhodes wasn't an alarmist. She was a crack journalist who had an excellent team of investigators, and only reported from the record.

Unlike some Faux slimeballs we all know and loathe.

Both sides inflame the nuts. Are they responsible somewhat sure I certainly do not think it is ok for them to suggest violence against anyone. However saying that Obama is going to take your guns is a far cry from saying kill a law enforcement officer.

Radio has to sensationalize things people don't have to act on the sensationalizim.

These guys should never be allowed out in public without their medication and straitjacket but somehow keep turning up on Fox News clearly unmedicated and waving their arms about.

Tao-
Why does radio (and TV) have to "sensationalize things" with lies and gross distortions?


As a liberal, I believe that the value of free speech
has no limit.

However, the hate-speech of Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly,
Beck, etc.,...incites violence against persons of color,
women, gays, transgendered, jews, the obsese
as well as all other groups of inclusion.

These straight, christian white males with their
predictable stereotyping are out of control.

I seriously doubt that Limbaugh, Hannity, or the pudgy Beck incite violence against fatties, Skip.

Now I've forgotten. Did Limbaugh get out of service in Vietnam because he was too fat, or was it something else?

I thought it was a boil on His ass BetelG

I especially like the part about the wife getting shot in the head while holding her 10 month old baby. Yeah, anyone who doesn't trust the government is a nutcase. The feds would never hurt us.

I believe this is called an oxymoron.

KBM-
Not to put too fine a point on it, but your are a moron and "Skip" is a right-wing troll.

You're right, Larry. It was a boil on the ass of the Limbaugh that prevented his service to his country in a war he supported.

I guess we could say the Limbaugh "baby" prevented Him from fighting in a war that He enthusiastically supported.

Larry

Larry-
Ahhhhhh! Don't do that!

Ever see the movie "How to Get Ahead in Advertising"?

Nope never even heard of it. Is it any good??

Don't even remember if it's any good or not. I remember enjoying it. Google it and see if it seems interesting. It was about twenty years ago when I watched it. I think I'll rent it, just to see it again.

" Should the hosts of these gabfests assume any kind of responsibility when someone takes their caustic rants seriously enough to reach a drastic final solution?"


The answer is simple ------ NO!

Sincerely


The Party of Personal Resposibilty

a discussion of hate speech law, as one poster mentioned. may be the discussion of context here.

it is certainly the important part of the quote that KBM left out as to not address the poster's point.

hate speech: seriously different than me calling KBM as asshat.
being jerk is not or an asshat is not illegal, incitement to violence is.
however,
Even in cases where speech encourages illegal violence, instances of incitement only qualify as criminal if the threat of violence is imminent.

imminent? didn't some guy just shoot a bunch of ppl because he THOUGHT his gun rights were being nullified? are ppl just now hoarding guns, isn't Chuck Norris talking secession (Texas ad South Carolina)?

time for connecting some of the dots, i mean nuts, in new case law. let's go Holder. and let's have some new Supremes and Fed judges, too.



BOO!

This strict standard prevents prosecution of many cases of incitement, including prosecution of those advocating violent opposition to the government, and those exhorting violence against racial, ethnic, or gender minorities.

"You're right, Larry. It was a boil on the ass of the Limbaugh that prevented his service to his country in a war he supported."

Aaaah, Limbaugh used his family name and power (trumpets blare) along with his future fame and riches to have the draft board classify him as unfit for service.

I ended up in Vietnam because I was stupid and partied my out of college (lost my 2S deferment and was classified 1A). A medical board made someone's classification determination and you try to blame the individual. I have no doubt you forgive all the POS liberals who wet beds or ran to Canada, yet you put down someone with a legitimate excuse - PATHETIC.

Msgt says, "Aaaah, Limbaugh ... the draft board classify him as unfit for service."

How did they (his influentaial family connections) get Limbaugh to grow a pilonidal cyst? That reference notices this fact:

"The condition was widespread in the United States Army during World War II. More than eighty thousand soldiers having the condition required hospitalization.[12] It was termed "Jeep riders' disease," because a large portion of people who were being hospitalized for it rode in jeeps, and prolonged rides in the bumpy vehicles were believed to have caused the condition due to irritation and pressure on the tailbone."

This condition is considered crippling to the Armed forces and because it requires (or did) hospitalization and treatment which can last for weeks, if not longer. Many servicemen had to be medically discharged during WWII for this condition, and the experience dictated that new recruits NOT have pilonidal cysts.

Thanks for your service, however stupid your actions which you consider it to have been its cause!

Golly. The Limbaugh was precluded from service due to riding around in jeeps...

I want the full story, complete with the time-machine bullshit to go with the other bullshit Tadowe produces so explosively, like a Mexican food shit.

I really like the threads which the Democrats use to restrict free speech, or desire to do that to their political enemies.

This, of course, demonstrates that Democrats are the opposite of being anthing like "liberal" and since they want to restrict religion, restrict free speech, restrict the words you use, and restrict your ability to defend yourself and family. Meanwhile they attempt to shove minority opinion up the public's buttocks by demanding homo marriage as some sort of neo-civil right. Next they'll support pederasty, as they did with all the years of re-electing a known pedophile homo (Gerry Studds) to congress; a known underage page fucker, and not just one of them ...

Real world creeps and the petty tyrant wannabes of politics ...

Tadowe?

Did you run out of steam on the other thread?

Is the position I've asserted problematic for you?

You'd been quick to respond until lately...what's going on?

I mean, shit.

Betel displays the stain of stupidity, "Golly. The Limbaugh was precluded from service due to riding around in jeeps..."

You are a bit of a moron, aren't you? Do you think Limbaugh was in WWII, riding around in the jeeps?

"I want the full story, complete with the time-machine bullshit to go with the other bullshit Tadowe produces so explosively, like a Mexican food shit."

The Examiner Repeats Slander Against Alex Jones

Jurriaan Maessen
Infowars
April 10, 2009

The same writer who argued in an April 5th article that the popular radio talk show host Alex Jones was somehow inspirational to white supremacist cop killer Richard Poplawski, now emerges with an article called "Alex Jones exploits fear and populism, stokes paranoia and rage." The title reflects the content. Author John Zorabedian trips and falls into the same mindless musing in which he indulged himself in the earlier article, this time arguing that cinematography constitutes a serious threat to society.

In his latest trash piece he starts out by recognizing Jones' popularity, propping up his argument that he must be regarded as a dangerous influence to impressionable minds roving the internet. Ignoring the fact that Richard Poplawski explicitly had nothing but disregard for Jones. Zorabedian begins with a "critique" of The Obama Deception, cunningly tying the idiot Poplawski in with the release of Jones' latest film:

"The trailer for The Obama Deception shown below shows us how the tone of Jones' voice gives weight to his words. When combined with crafty imagery, music and spliced together clips of video, Jones builds up extraordinary tension."
Zorabedian argues in fact that everyone who uses cinematographic techniques should think twice about doing so. You never know who might next pick up a gun to cowardly execute police officers in cold blood. Zorabedian:

"Watching this effective piece of filmmaking, it is hard not to have an emotional responseis it fear, hatred, anger, sadness, anxiety that we feel?"

Either he argues for the removal of all musical scores and editing techniques from all future works of art, or he argues for all-out censorship of all future political documentaries. Either way, his reasoning obviously leads down a very dangerous road. He proceeds:

"In this construct, President Obama is the perfect lynchpin to set off a firestorm of righteous, fearful anger. A black man from Chicago with a Muslim name and a Harvard Law degree, who came from nowhere to win the presidency in a year of chaotic disorder in the financial markets, a new president who has had to rapidly acclimate himself and insinuate himself into the small cadre of powerful people who are running the show."

Using the word "lynchpin" in this piece is awfully cunning. As if Jones never criticized Bush or Clinton and just waited for the chance to"set of a firestorm' against the first black president of the United States. The absurd arguments to which Zorabedian resorts to place the blame on Alex Jones (including the implicit accusation of racial motivations) illustrates very effectively that there are no real arguments, only clumsy attacks. It also illustrates very nicely that it is not for nothing that the mainstream media is rapidly going the way of the dodo.

Interesting to watch Larry's 'deep' and ongoing fascination with Rush Limbaugh's butthole

BTW, Larry, did you serve in the military? Or did you get the Pork-Ass Deferment?

Since you are so full of words about somebody else who gamed the system, I wonder what you have done for America's security.

Before you post something stupid, I served five years in the Air Force.

Curious to know if you have given anything to our great country, or if you have only taken, and then whined like a baby for more.

"Seems to Me Rush Limbaugh fuck weaseled His way out of Vietnam. I find the whole thing fishy to Me."

NORMALLY this kind of horseshit is spewed by some young punk with no idea of life in these united states during that time.
for almost the entire duration, there was a college deferment that millions of young men used and did so with little if any problems from any side of the issue.
and then came the lottery where many great americans, as in yours truely recieved a high number and were allowed to continue that college education. if my number had been low enough I would have proudly served.

Bullshit.

and just how do you know that??

I know you dont have any sort of mistical or mental powers to know that because you prove you are a stupid sumbitch all the time.

you have no fuckin clue what you are talking about so therefore I will no longer respond to you on this issue...

PSSST....(bronx cheer)

and heres hoping that none of you vets of nam allow bullshit from some to try and dimenish my stated respect and admiration.

Always count on the freedom loving drudge liberals (note sarcasm) to defend freedom.

Liberal Nazi's... they're here. Toe the party line or else..

Time for the brown shirts issue (or maybe the Mao suits)

Fortunately, many liberals in the US still have brains and a respect for freedom.. they just seem to stay away from Drudge.


You guys act like Rush Limbaugh is the only chickenhawk on right wing talk radio. What about Hannity, Beck, O'Liely, Savage etc?
The reason chickenhawks dominate right wing talk is because cowards are very good at selling fear.

I have no doubt you forgive all the POS liberals who wet beds or ran to Canada, yet you put down someone with a legitimate excuse - PATHETIC.

Liberals didn't want ANYBODY to have to go to Vietnam. Pieholes like Limbaugh and Nugent were just fine with the war as long as it was somebody else's ass over there.

for almost the entire duration, there was a college deferment that millions of young men used and did so with little if any problems from any side of the issue.

Unless your name was Clinton and you were a Rhodes Scholar---then you were called a draft dodger--why wouldn't that same designation be applicable to you?

and to those of you here who DID SERVE in NAM
you have my sincere admiration and respect.

I doubt you know the meaning of either word.

Hmmm, should talk show hosts be responsible for murders done by others?

How about the ex-Marine John Murtha, the Democrat who called our US soldiers (Marines he can't semper fi) murderers?

Shouldn't he be held responsible for any suicide by a Marine, since then ... ???

That's the logic you moronic "liberals" are using to dehumanize practioners of free speech, aren't you?

How about John Kerry's accusations against Vietnam soldiers; that they were murderers, torturers, and near subhuman? Of course, everyone knows now that his claims were all lies, made up to assist the North Vietnamese in continuing the war, and after meeting twice with them in Paris to plot the strategy he conducted - pretending to throwing his medals away and lying about our citizen military.

He's responsible for all the suicide deaths of US veterans who took their life, after his false testimony and anti-war efforts to help the North win against his own nation.

Now, you verminous creeps are lying about fellow Americans who are using their free speech!

You resemble communists Kerry plotted against the USA with, tyrants who disallowed free speech to their citizens and repressed them like slaves; sending them South to be butchered for the glory of fascistic communist ideology. You cretins want to end free speech, but just for the rightwing - Air America's free speech is just fine by you petty dictatorial wannabes.

How disgusting can your party actually become? Really! What part of the term "liberal" even applies to you lying socialists, anymore?

The agreement for defense of Viet Nam came long before Kennedy and Johnson, and the first "advisors" were sent in under Eisenhower.

#54: That was the CIA working with France, a far cry from Johnson's phony Gulf of Tonkin incident, which in its audacity makes Bushe's WMD theories (oh AND your precious Bill Clinton btw) look juvenile.

Flagged fuck off Zitboy

Actually Vietnam was started under Eisenhur. He is the one who first set boots on the grond in Country. Not Kennedy not Johnson. Sorry about bursting another bubble of the Right Wingers.

Larry

Larryboy, those were advisors to the Vietnamese. It was Johnson who did the escalation with drafted American youth. Get your arms around it.

Larryboy?? You mean I ave a Son?? Kewl how did that happen?? Boy the things You learn about Yourself on the Retort that You didn't know beforehand. Wonder if the Mother is a knock out cause I don't want some stinky looking Woman bearing My Children.

Larry

The Vietnam war was a product of French colonialism. The US became involved in combat operations at Diem Bien Phu. It certainly was Johnson who turned it into the grand clusterfuck it became, not that Nixon was much better.

This is for you Bill,
www.virtualwall.org

Larry, it was pity more than anything else.

BB says, "The agreement for defense of Viet Nam came long before Kennedy and Johnson, and the first "advisors" were sent in under Eisenhower."

You've repeated this lie! I've been through this with you, before!

Truman began the US involvement in Vietnam by aiding the French and supply funds and equipment. He also sent military liaison, although they weren't called "advisors" at that time. Indeed, the first US soldier killed in Vietnam, Lt. Col. Peter Dewey, was in 1945.

After the French left, the finances were switched to being part of the Military Assistance Command (MACV), which was created to advice Korean military. The US continued sending advisors and military supplies until Kennedy, when he expanded the MACV, and the news started reporting casualties.

In 1961, "President John F. Kennedy increased the number of advisors and tripled U.S. financial support."

Hardly a "liberal," as the liars of the left claim ...

Anyway, then Johnson began the actual war in Vietnam, a Democrat president - not Eisenhower, not Nixon (who ended the war.)

What an ignorant dupe you are, Bob, either that or you are a purposeful liar in support of your leftist ideology ...

Bullshit.

Your post does not disprove anything I said. Let me say it again in case you'd like to try again.

The agreement for defense of Viet Nam came long before Kennedy and Johnson, and the first "advisors" were sent in under Eisenhower.

In case you have some doubt--Truman was before Kennedy and Johnson, and your link states there were no "advisors" in Viet Nam until Eisenhower. What part confuses you shipdit?

Rightwing radio has crossed the line of hate speech, limbaugh is the worst

Bob repeats, "In case you have some doubt--Truman was before Kennedy and Johnson, and your link states there were no "advisors" in Viet Nam until Eisenhower. What part confuses you shipdit?"

None of it, as it seems to have done to you. Tell me, what is the difference between and "advisor" and an "liaison?"

There were military advisors to the French, and although not called MACV, or formally as "Advisors."

You effort to parse the words is typical of the out-of-context loving liars of the left! You are actually trying to shift the blame onto REPUBLICANS by cutting-off your knowledge and understanding at the Ike era. You're too obvious and the argument has been asked-and-answered more times than Carter ever produced pills.

Suck it up, leftist, the Democrats started the war and were the only ones to do so, not Republicans ...

None of it, as it seems to have done to you. Tell me, what is the difference between and "advisor" and an "liaison?"

No advisors in Nam until Eisenhower. Your link substantiates this simple fact. You are still a brainwashed zombie.

Hi, Bob

I must admit, you are quite the quibbler!

Needless to say, the "liaison" officers were "advisors" to the French; assisting them in logistics, weaponry and training on US equipment we supplied to the French, and later the Vietnamese government, before Ike.

You made your point, that Eisenhower actually started the "war." However, it is a blatant lie that has been shown to be untrue over-and-over again.

You leftists, though, are so obsessed with the lie, that you just can't let it go.

I actually feel sorry for your partisan intransigence, so reminiscent of fundamentalism of whatever religion ... only your party is your "god" to defend ...

As a domestic policy innovator, LBJ hit the ground running in 1965. His legislative accomplishments included securing congressional passage of the landmark Voting Rights Act and numerous great society programs including Medicare. Again, to avoid the tradeoff between "guns and butter," decisions about Vietnam were not highly publicized. Nonetheless, there were several decisions made in 1965 that would essentially "Americanize" the war and increase the commitment to levels that were feared in the policy discussions of the early 1960s.

After a Viet Cong attack on American barracks in Pleiku, Johnson ordered reprisal bombings of North Vietnam on February 6, 1965. This was later expanded, on February 21st, into a program of sustained bombing called Rolling Thunder. In March, deliberations led to the decision to escalate the ground war (see Larry Berman, Planning a Tragedy). In April, a battalion of U.S. marines landed at Da Nang; in May, the President submitted an emergency appropriation request to Congress to fund the U.S. effort in Vietnam; in June, LBJ gave General William Westmoreland the authority to commit American troops to ground combat operations in Vietnam.

You made your point, that Eisenhower actually started the "war." However, it is a blatant lie that has been shown to be untrue over-and-over again.

Either those "advisors" were advisors, or those "advisors" were the same type of "advisors" sent in by Kennedy. If that is the case, then Eisenhower started the war. However I never said Eisenhower started the war, or that those men there were anything but advisors in the true sense. The United States was financing the French action in Viet Nam. It could be said that was, in effect, an act of war against Viet Nam. If you pay some one to beat someones ass, should the guy whose ass gets kicked give you a pass? In that sense, Eisenhower started the war. If any of this is untrue, please link to a correction.

You leftists, though, are so obsessed with the lie, that you just can't let it go.

You paranoid rightists see ghosts in every post. I simply state facts. If I am mistaken, I would welcome the correction. All you gotta do is prove whatever you say. I would say the obsession is yours.

I actually feel sorry for your partisan intransigence, so reminiscent of fundamentalism of whatever religion ... only your party is your "god" to defend ...

Not at all. There is evidence Kennedy would have withdrawn from Viet Nam---it would have been an easy sale with the right PR. Eisenhowers Domino Theory was still scaring the nation, but Kennedy could have overcome it. Johnson was one of the worst Presidents we ever had. Very likely a murderer, and not just Kennedy. Johnson was a true evil President, a thug, and the first of a long string of mismanagement and fucking over America. It makes no difference if a President is a dem or rep to liberals---if he's a POS, he's a POS.

You are the only partisan here. I have yet to see you agree with anything liberal. I would think that all liberals on this site can think of something they disagree with Clinton on, and I would say that the number of things would be more than one. I would say the same thing about Obama. I doubt you can find anyone who agrees with every decision Obama has made. I don't like the troop increase in Afghanistan, and I thik the timetable in Iraq is too long. Not so with you. You are one dimensional. I can tell your point of view by the title of the thread. You have nothing more to add. You only have so much to say, and so many ways to say it. You've said it too many times.

Bob gets specious, "Either those "advisors" were advisors, or those "advisors" were the same type of "advisors" sent in by Kennedy. If that is the case, then Eisenhower started the war."

Bob, it wasn't a compliment about being a "quibbler!"

The term 'liaison' is MY term, not any official epithet for military trainers who give advice to other nation's militaries. You want to use the term "advisor" to apply to just those military trainers who became officially known as Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) members - those Kennedy sent as "advisors" to that country.

Unfortunately for your contention, it was Truman who sent the first "advisors," and not just "advisers." That was because they were known as the Military Assitance and Advisory Group (MAAG), and so became "advisors."

Eisenhower, and a Democrat congress, increased funding for MAAG Vietnam, but which was just an incremental increase over that which Truman began.

Too bad you're so effectively brainwashed; also know as being "blinkered," by your slavish effort to make reality conform to your wishes. The MACV wasn't created until 1962, and if you want to apply it to Eisenhower, then the "advisors" he sent were equivalent to those sent by Truman, and under the same nomenclature, not Kennedy's MACV "advisors" who began Special Forces training of the South's counter insurgency program.

I've posted the links supporting the facts that Truman assisted and advised the French, and I've also provided the link which indicates that Eisenhower continued that assistance and sent additional military advisors (not MACV as Kennedy did) to support the French, and then the Vietnam government, created after the French withdrew.

If military "advisors" are the criteria for starting the war in Vietnam, then it is Truman who began that war, not Eisenhower.

All those who continue to believe otherwise are your equal in purposeful ignorance and near religious faith hoping to create a miracle which will change reality ... or a stooge for leftist propaganda used to dupe Democrats into believing outright lies.

"However I never said Eisenhower started the war, or that those men there were anything but advisors in the true sense."

Don't be disingenuous, why bring Eisenhower into the subject of a war started by a Democrat (Lyndon B. Johnson,) then?


"The United States was financing the French action in Viet Nam. It could be said that was, in effect, an act of war against Viet Nam. If you pay some one to beat someones ass, should the guy whose ass gets kicked give you a pass? In that sense, Eisenhower started the war. If any of this is untrue, please link to a correction."

I already have, dimwit! Besides which, if you weren't so self-blinded by your partisan efforts to defame Republicans, you'd get off your lazy, propagandistic ass and study the subject!

"You paranoid rightists see ghosts in every post. I simply state facts. If I am mistaken, I would welcome the correction. All you gotta do is prove whatever you say. I would say the obsession is yours."

You are out of your league, as I've mentioned before, Bob. Here is what was said that you originally replied to:

"49: Rastafuck: Liberals started the Vietnam war: Can you say Kennedy and Johnson?"

So, then why did you answer with this:

"The agreement for defense of Viet Nam came long before Kennedy and Johnson, and the first "advisors" were sent in under Eisenhower."

I've posted the links and you can now assure yourself that Truman sent the first "advisors."

Glad to assist your knowledge, Bob.

No advisors in under Truman--the agreement for the defense of Viet Nam came long before Kennedy and Johnson.

Your rant merely shows you to be a partisan hack who can't accept reality and the facts. Read your own links and STFU Little Mind.

Bob repeats, "No advisors in under Truman--the agreement for the defense of Viet Nam came long before Kennedy and Johnson."

Thank you, Bob!!! I knew that your partisan intransigence would force you into an alternate reality!

Here is the link, AGAIN, which proves you a rank liar! Oh how I love it when you yellow-dog-democrats go STUPID!

I'm so thrilled, I'll post the pertinent quote, Booby:

In September 1950, US President Harry Truman sent the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) to Vietnam to assist the French in the First Indochina war.

Come on back and tell me again that Truman didn't start the ADVISOR program, moron.

Really, you must not be a Democrat, but a communist intent on bringing the USA's stupid level up to your diminuitive, prevaricating stature, what?

I love the title of this

You know it's a dull night in Tardsville when Tadpole brings up Vietnam. Jesus, dumbass, why don't you fucking tell us all who really started the Spanish-American war, you self-absorbed fuckwaddle.

Really, you must not be a Democrat, but a communist intent on bringing the USA's stupid level up to your diminuitive, prevaricating stature, what?

Tad, what would you rather have in a fight: a gun you can't reach, or a 12-inch-long vulcanized black rubber...
