Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, January 28, 2010

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has a black goat slaughtered at his house almost every day to ward off "evil eyes" and protect him from "black magic," a newspaper reported Wednesday. A spokesman for the president told the Dawn newspaper the goats were slaughtered as an act of Sadaqah -- meaning "voluntary charity" in Islam whereby one gives out money or the meat of a slaughtered animal to the poor to win Allah's blessing and stave off misfortune. "It has been an old practice of ardari to offer Sadaqah. He has been doing this for a long time," the spokesman, Farhatullah Babar, told the paper.

what a nut job

If he's giving the meat to poor people it's not really that different from giving to win kharma or to feel good about yourself.

don't be fooled...

this is a political stunt because he knows people hate him.

I know if I hated someone, an offering of choice meats would be just thing to win me over.

"an offering of choice meats "

this isn't hickory farms my friend hahah

...very true...

Zardari Slaughters Goats To Ward Off Evil

Uh oh. Run, Goatman, run.

Goat should be safe on the rig unless Paki prez Zardari is a really good swimmer.

Goat is safe.

This guy only slaughters black Goats.

/obligatory.

Be Well.

It's for the go-o-o-o-d of Pa-a-a-a-a-kistan.

What's the big deal?

Just read this bible verse that i just found.

Leviticus 23:19
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

I have no idea what this means or the context but it seems like it justifies slaughtering goats. Suck it heretics!

Why is it the kids who always suffer?

I hear he's been killing the goats because he keeps catching them cheating on him.

Should of just had a prayer breakfast with some guys who blame 9-11 and katrina on gays.

How'd he do it? Didn't wear a bag and gave them AIDS? Oh you wacky Muslims...

That is so wrong that it has to deserve a FF!!!

Paint stores in Pakistan are out of white paint.

The Canuck's obligatory is, and has been for some time, redundant.

Why is it the kids who always suffer?

On a serious note, I'm all for these little rituals if it distracts people from other pursuits like suicide bombing and stoning rape victims to death.

Hey, Zar-zar, you should go out and try to cut the throat of a markhor.

Druids making a comeback in Pakistan?

Tosser, Klifferd, help me out here.....what gives?

Hey, Zar-zar, you should go out and try to cut the throat of a markhor.

Yeah right.... LOL

How do we stop the rash of teen pregnancies sweeping the nation under this administration?

I think the Obmanation is an awful president. Worse than Bush and quickly approaching Carteresque.

But still, I don't know what he has to do with two teens getting it on, and getting knocked up.

Unless you're think of his campaign slogan:

Yes We Can!

What ritual would distract us Americans from the anal fucking we are getting from Obama?

Cos providing Tax Cuts fer the majority and putting millions more on the health care rolls is somehow equivalent to getting fucked over in yer book?

Wow, yer dumb.

How do we stop the rash of teen pregnancies sweeping the nation under this administration?

The latest "increased teen pregnancy" story showed a bump in baby bumps during the reign of errors that was BushCo a natural result of his abstinence only style of sex ed.

Not under Obama.

Do at least try and keep up.

How do we stop this administration from blowing what's left of the American worker to smithereens?

As opposed to the rethugs who've consistently allowed union bashing and sweetheart deals to companies that out-source to undermine the American worker?

Try again.

Be Well.

"I think the Obmanation is an awful president. Worse than Bush and quickly approaching Carteresque"

thats why everyone else thinks you are a loony toon.

You still think oil will hit $30 a barrel. Sort of makes what you think irrelevant.

Yet Pakistan wants to be taken seriously and join first world nations. They've got a looooooooooonnng way to go.

Tosser, if you see this I would like to read your thoughts, take on this, etc. Since you are right there, you have a unique perspective that we can never have.

Run for your life Goatman. He's got a big knife.

you have a unique perspective that we can never have.

That's right.

Yet Pakistan wants to be taken seriously

By who? By the US?

We don't take the US seriously... and we don't need them to take Pakistan seriously. End of story.

To think these backwater countries get seats in the UN an honor guards when they junket here.

To think these backwater countries get seats in the UN an honor guards when they junket here.

And to think your president has to bow down to such leaders!

Ooo! Makes your blood boil! LOL

Tosser, I wasn't being flip.
No, not by the US, by the World.

I am really curious. I asked you the question in such a way as to try and not inflame you, but to get a clear, and direct "view" of what has and is happening.
You're there. You can provide us with valuable insights and news we would never access to.

Please reconsider your attitude as I approached you honestly, merely in search of other points of view and to better understand what is REALLY going on in Pakistan.
We all know we're not getting the straight story for our own Government or media.

You can provide us with valuable insights and news we would never access to.

I have already given you news over time about this person.

1. Zardari has been diagnosed with dementia. He is expected to do funny things. There is a reason they took away his power to start a nuclear war.

2. He is a crook (proven over and over).

3. Sacrificing cows, goats, etc and turning them into cheeseburgers for the poor is an old Islamic tradition and a good one.

4. It's something like s dirty politician kissing babies to make himself look better.

5. No, I'm sure he doesn't know the front end of a goat from it's back end.

There really is nothing to know. I didn't even spend more than a minute thinking about this nonsense news.

I asked you the question in such a way as to try and not inflame you

Btw, you must be a jerk in real life as well.

They've got a looooooooooonnng way to go.

Meaning sacrificing goats to feed the poor is bad in your book?

Snooty much?

So the animal sacrifices are then turned into food? At least something good comes from something so asinine.

How is it generally in Pakistan? What does the average person say? How do they feel about our prescence nearby, and the drone strikes?

Your military does a good job of finding and eliminating relatively large groups of (insert term of the day).

do they want our help or do they think they can take of the terrorists themselves? As I've said, you guys have already made some great progress against the radicals.

Seriously, I want to know. All we get is propoganda. Even the foreign news is beccoming unreliable.

So the animal sacrifices are then turned into food?

Always.

Otherwise, what would be the point?

Fuck it. I've tried to engage you in honest dialog, but you seem determned to just flame and attack.

FYI, firt world Nations don't usually sacrifice sentient beings for religous or political, or superstious belief.

So sit over there, keep being an asshole, and living your life of obvious misery, given your disposition, that would be the only conclusion one can draw.

keep being an asshole

Keep being a snooty snoot. LOL

and living your life of obvious misery

I'm not in misery Radio-Boy. MY mic works! LOL

that would be the only conclusion one can draw.

There is one other conclusion.

That I don't like you personally. Simple.

You think you can turn your "nice" on and off as and when you like and I will give any respect? LOL

See, Radio-Boy, if anyone else... like Goatman or a few others here... had asked me the same questions, I would've answered, no problems.

It's YOU that I am having trouble with because I hate fakes.

you seem determned to just flame and attack.

I am not flaming or attacking you at all.

When *I* flame, you'll feel it. Everyone will feel it. LOL

FYI, firt world Nations don't usually sacrifice sentient beings for religous or political, or superstious belief.

When will people in first world nations get to fix their mic so they don't sound like they've got a bucket over their heads?

Perhaps if you feed the poor instead of being a snooty-snoot....?

firt world Nations don't usually sacrifice sentient beings for religous or political, or superstious belief.

I just realized....

Radio-Boy is against Thanksgiving! He would rather eat crackers than turkey. LOL

How un-American of you!

When I "flame", you'll "feel" it. Everyone will "feel" it. LOL

The words you were looking for are "bathe" and "smell".

So sit over there.......

Toss always seems to remember a slight. I remember somewhere in the haze of my memory you and him getting into some spat.

Anyway your tone was off and kinda snooty so yeah it would feel hard to try and answer. But I don't want anyone coming away with the wrong idea on this tradition because it is a relatively good one, i.e, sacrificing part of your wealth by turning it into animal meat and distributing it among the poor.

It does have it's tradition in Abrahamic religions. That guy who quoted that Bible verse up there backs that point up. Before the industrial revolution, wealth was always counted in physical commodities like gold, land or cattle. Sacrificing part of it in the service of God (and distributing the meat to the poor) would be a way for a rich person to make sure they don't "tempt fate". And Zardari needs all to keep the fates in his good books constantly. A lot of people are politically gunning for him. If he feels the need to put EVERY odd in his favour, I don't blame him.

And he's rich. Filthy rich. If he turns part of his wealth into food for the poor good.

The words you were looking for are "bathe" and "smell".

After being confined to your wheelchair, you'll need assistance to do that. I feel sorry for your caregivers. Poor sods.

The words you were looking for are "bathe" and "smell".

The words you are looking for are "where is my methadone" and "where are me legs"? LOL

Anyway your tone was off and kinda snooty

See? YS saw through you as well.

I really really hate fakes and can spot them from miles away.

Don't pump me for info again.

Fiscal year 2010 Peace Corps budget = 340 million.

FY 2010 DoD base budget approx 534 billion.

'Nuff said.

We don't take the US seriously... and we don't need them to take Pakistan seriously. End of story.

Love your bluster Tossed Salad. Good thing you don't speak for the whole country eh? Even when we were led by Mr BushWhacked the US would have sent you back to the Stone Age. Even if we didn't mean to. hmmm seems that is the same mistake Saddam made. Hope it works out better for you. Hate to see you any closer to the Stone Age then you already are.

-D

Even when we were led by Mr BushWhacked the US would have sent you back to the Stone Age.

Oh I doubt that.

You like to talk big, but you're all bark, no bite.

You can only apply force against people like Afghan tribesmen.... and still manage to get your ass kicked.

Hate to see you any closer to the Stone Age then you already are.

Like I said, take your "respect" and shove it. LOL

Good thing you don't speak for the whole country eh?

I do speak for most of it, I'm afraid.

Whatever I say here, is the average point of view.

"Whatever I say here, is the average point of view.

That was amazing footage.

Those markhor hit with such force in their head butting contests - their skulls must be about as thick as Goatman's.

Markhor means Snake Eater.

Snake Eater is a nick Yanks have for their best special forces.

So Goatman is our resident Markhor/Snake Eater ;-)
