Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Though many know him as the greatest boxer of all time, few know that it was actually the theft of his bicycle at age 12 that began his boxing career. After the bike was stolen, Ali ran to the police station, threatening to "whup whoever stole my bike." Joe Martin, a white Louisville, Ky., policeman, told him he had better learn to fight, and in his spare time, he took Ali under his wing and taught him the ropes. Ali won his first fight six weeks later. When the referee raised his arm in victory, Ali shouted the iconic words that would become a self-fulfilling prophecy: "I'm gonna be the greatest of all time!"

In his day he was one of the last of the vanishing breed true American heroes, someone who's courage in the ring was matched only by the courage of his beliefs.

Happy birthday, Mohammad Ali.

Happy birthday Mr. Ali. Much respect. Athlete of the century!

Of course, Ali would have been giving exhibition bouts, not going on the front lines of a police action that most people these days at least admit was a huge mistake.

But even so he had the courage of his convictions not to participate in a mad war and earned the respect of his fellow Americans and people across the world.

Racist POS' who hide behind a pretense of "humor" excepted, of course.

Very few who had what he had would have risked what he risked for his stand. There is no chance in Hell they would have put him in combat, so he could have easily joined and shut up. He took a big risk and forever has my respect even though I find his chosen sport to be among the most barbaric and least human.

As kids boxing in Golden Gloves in the early 60's we had looked up to him for years. When he refused to take that step forward as many of us were approaching draft age, he solidified himself in the conscious of America for the courage of his beliefs, even among some who disagreed with his stance.

Of course, those with no conscious at all to begin with will never grok that.

Uh huh. Now it takes courage to avoid the military in a time of war? That's some pretty crazy shit you're trying to sell, Corks.

Long story short, he, like most africanus americanus, as well as liberals, want to take, take, take, and when something is asked of them, they suddenly find themselves become the selfish person they accuse everyone else of being.

He mysteriously found religion, and became a peacenik, just in time to not go "to war". And you believe that? What a stooge.

lmao.... this is a guy who could taken your head off and shit in your neck without breaking a sweat, RacePoodle.

Your shtick is tiresome and old, and fails these days to cover your true racist mentality or your rwing taint.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee....

My god, what a master of the sweet science.

Happy birthday, champ.

He had, btb, converted to Islam many years befoe being drafted.

Not that you were around at the time, or have anything to say about it other than the same old shit you pull out of your ass and stink up thses threads with daily.

Long story short, he, like most africanus americanus, as well as liberals, want to take, take, take, and when something is asked of them, they suddenly find themselves become the selfish person they accuse everyone else of being.

Oh, well the fact he could take my head off 40 years ago, prior to my being born, changes everything. He most assuredly wasn't a coward who shirked his civic duty of serving his country after being drafted...What was I thinking?

You know what, Corks? I'd fuck Ali up 6 weeks from Sunday in the present day. I'd kick that parkinson's addled old draft dodging piece of shit's face right through the back of his head, and you being the bitch you are could hold my coat while I did it.
How's that grab you?

I hate to admit it, but I think Tosser gets the credit for those. He's the one that made up the wheelchair angle best i can recall. For some reason, the less bright members of the retort have latched on.

Is Chairpuddle a parody of the typical teabagger as perceived by the average American or is he just being himself? It is getting hard to tell any more.

Pretending to be that much of a hate filled racist would be hard for someone that wasn't born into it. Gotta be more than just a backed up colostomy bag at work here....

Amy Goodman could easily kick Chairpoodles Wimpy ass.

-He most assuredly wasn't a coward who shirked his civic duty of serving his country after being drafted...What was I thinking?

As has gone over your head a couple of times now, the only thing he was in danger of was bad Army food at the exhibition bouts he would have been giving.

-you are could hold my coat while I did it.

lol, even at 60, I'd be stuffing your coat down your throat. 5'6" drunks who sit on their asses all day are still easy even for me.

Just admit it. You've gotten boring. No new stuff in years. Yesterday was was flaming the MLK thread as a racist POS, and today it's flaming the Ali thread as a racist POS.

Frankly, my dear, no one gives a damn.

As I said, Ali could have shown up to the draft board, put on his uniform and gone to raise bond money or gone on some USO tour. There is no chance in Hell he would have seen combat. He didn't. He instead used his celebrity and obvious credentials as a fighter who was not a coward to say "this war is wrong." That earns him respect IMHO.

Muhammad Ali's sodas always explode.

I'd put Amy up against most guys. That woman is wound tight. I love her and all but...

Corky,
You're an embarrassing little bitch. You tried to pretend you were some ass kicker years back with me once, and tried to impress me with your height and weight. Unfortunately for you, I'm just as big, 20 years younger, and I actually enjoy punching people in the face. Now that you once again realize I'm not impressed, why not dazzle us with your zip code again? Oh, that sunk like a lead balloon too? Poor thing.

Now, if you weren't so fucking stupid, and so enamored by a draft dodging piece of shit like Clay, you'd realize that the true american hero is the guy that took Ali's place over in Vietnam. Apparently simple minds like yours aren't able to comprehend that Ali's refusal to perform his civic duty resulted in some other guy having to take his place.

As for nobody giving a damn, you'd be wrong, as usual (sense a pattern here, dummy?). Those trolls garnered plenty of negative attention, because you pavlib's dogs can't help yourselves. Besides, watching you throw a hissy right here just goes to show you're not very bright. You sure have an odd way of not giving a damn, little lady.

Now, go sit your 60 y/o ass down, you crusty old bitch.

-Muhammad Ali's sodas always explode.

Now see? That was funny.

Don't drag me into this, Charles Atlas.

Well, I guess I can consider that troll's buttons all pushed, rofl.

Apparently simple minds like yours aren't able to comprehend that Ali's refusal to serve in an illegal and unjust war resulted in some other guys not joining the 50K who died because it ended all the sooner as American sentiment turned against it.

You are just mad because I pointed out how dull and predictable your racist POS "humor" has gotten.

Either learn a new trick or buy a new pony.... no, not for that, you have your wife for that.

So the chairpuddle isn't some disabled, bitter old fart living on government handouts in some tin-roofed hovel in some 4th world shithole?

Good. He can spend the next 30 years working to pay my social security!!!

Hey puddle, get off your ass and get a better paying job, you lazy cunt.

You read my troll, blow a gasket, pretend like you could kick my ass, point out a pro-boxer could beat me up 40 years ago prior to my being born, and lash out at me for the first time in years, and you think you pushed my button, woman?

God damn Corky, you're priceless.

But no, you're right, Ali saved lives by shirking his public duty, and hiding behind his money and lawyers, and shaking out a comfy existence here in the country he refused to serve. A real hero...

Now, if you weren't so fucking stupid, and so enamored by a draft dodging piece of shit like Clay, you'd realize that the true american hero is the guy that took Ali's place over in Vietnam.

Sounds like a German war vet circa 1940.

Too fucking funny. come on Corks, bust out the zipcode little lady...

It's nearly as impressive as your height and weight. BTW, you gave me your height at least 5 years ago. At your advanced age surely you've shrunk since then, so why not make up another...errrr...why not impress us with your height again?

Well at least you've dropped the ridiculously stupid argument about Ali being cannon fodder. I guess you CAN teach an old dog to shut the fuck up...

This H and W thing is hysterical. Crispee always made fun of my commenting I was 6'4 and 220 pounds as if that means I am some kind of monster or stud. I am tall and overweight, not muscular at all. I really am 6'4 and now 217, but that is not supermodel or anything.

The cannon fodder argument still stands. But, in your case, you're the pathological type who doesn't care who pays you to kill.

Funny stuff, corky. I remember you disagreeing with me when I made the exact same comment on why the Vietnam war ended. LOL

What an adaptable and disingenuous little creature you are. LOL

Clearly I hurt your feelings. Was it because I called out your Obama cheerleading? I watched you grow increasingly angry every time I pointed out what a water carrier you were. I knew then you were getting testy, but apparently my latest trolls sent you over the edge (and then you foolishly claimed you pushed my buttons...well, it looks like you stfu about that once I set you straight on that...good dog, now roll over).

Pat Tilman's shunning of the good life showed courage. Ali shirking his civic duty was selfish and cowardice, and there wasn't one single thing about it that was brave. He had the $$ and celebrity recognition to escape any real consequence for his actions. But hey, you're easily impressed, so good for you.

lmao... something for the goat to drool on...

-He had the $$ and celebrity recognition to escape any real consequence for his actions. But hey, you're easily impressed, so good for you.

Yes he did, which makes it even more impressive to the even slightly lucid that he gave it all way to stand up for his convictions when he could have gotten off easy with no combat.

A concept which your pathetic ilk have never understood, and likely never will.

To give up a successful career and volunteer to join a criminal war and get killed is an act of courage? That's fucked up. I give Ali credit for having the cojunes to stand up to the state.

You must really like war to such a degree that it doesn't matter if they are senseless.

So now Clay gave up fame and fortune? That's strange. I could swear he was touring colleges, and collecting fees, and then later went on to continue his career.

He gave it up just like he gave up his gold medal and John Kerry tossed his military medals, I guess...

So, shirk your civic duty folks, and become a hero, even though there aren't consequences for your actions when you've got Clay's fame and fortune...

-So now Clay gave up fame and fortune?

He gave up the Heavyweight title and several years of matches in his prime, dummy.

Because he was appealling his conviction, dumbfuck. The short-sighted retard thought he'd skate consequence free because of his fortune and fame.

How you concluded I didn't know the facts about this case is anyone's guess. I was responding to your proven bit of stupidity that he gave away his fame and fortune by pointing out he did neither. Apparently you don't take correction well and decided to lash out.

Rememebr, dumbfuck, if you're going to accuse your betters of having their buttons pushed, or not knowing the facts behind a story, be sure they aren't able to clearly demonstrate the opposite, like I have.

Civic duty to be in an unpopular war? To kill people who were no threat to us? You're reasoning is so fucked up, it's laughable.

Maybe it's not so funny. I see this country getting more militarized by the month. The NDAA makes it official. War with Iran is a near certainty. It's one of the common symptoms of a nation in decline.

Yes Ray, a civic duty to answer when drafted. Whether the war is popular or not doesn't matter. I'm surprised I have to explain this to you seeing as though you lived through it. Then again, you're pretty fucking stupid so I shouldn't be surprised.

-accuse your betters

roflmao!

You are still just pissed that your stale old 1950's racist "humor" has gotten tired and boring and predictable even here.

Ali, as most of the world has recognized, acted out of the courage of his convictions and lost everything when it would have been easy to go along with the crowd and keep all he had with no danger to himself.

That you don't understand that concept, nor the facts, is also entirely predictable.

This isn't Nazi Germany or any other nation where tyranny thrives. I serve my country by living a peaceful productive life. I consider it my duty to resist encroachments by the State against the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Because of psychos like you, Americans are no longer safe from their government.

Corky,
My "racist humor" as you call it catches schmucks daily, the latest of which is you. If it was tired, boring, and predictable, like you claim, you would have ignored it instead of pretending your sorry 60 y/o ass could do anything about it, or had even the slightest chance of intimidating me. It also wouldn't have driven you to lose your cool with me for the first time in literally years...Face it, you got your buttons pushed, and I demonstrated as much (which is why you shut the fuck up about it).

So Cork, spare me the bullshit. i trolled the ever loving fuck right out of you. hell, besides pretending you could beat me up, you resorted to the "Mohhamed Ali could have kicked your ass" 40 years ago before you were born routine...

Then there's that whole "gave up his fame and fortune" mistake you made (twice). He was a showman, and he had fame and fortune to fall back on. Acting as if he made a brave choice by staring down a $10,000 fine is hilarious, and pathetic at the same time.

corky even 101 is saying dont feed the troll

You're righ, GayRay, this isn't Germany. Very astute observation.

This is the United States of America, and you need to register for the selective service when you turn 18 years old. It's the law.

We also had a legally sanctioned draft on the books until 1973, I believe. Again, the law.

None of this is new to you, stupid.

-My "racist humor" as you call it catches schmucks daily

Sorry, buddy. It's become who you are. Are you going to have us believe that it's not true? That any freak who posts that crap as much as you do isn't a died in the wool racist Cracker POS, closeted or not?

Good luck with that.

-If it was tired, boring, and predictable, like you claim, you would have ignored it

Naw, I commented that it was tired, boring, and predictable yesterday on the MLK thread and it was tired, boring, and predictable today on this thread.

-He was a showman, and he had fame and fortune to fall back on.

He suffered big-time for standing up for his convictions, and everyone knows it but you.

And most of them even understand why he did it, while you can only wander around mumbling 'po' white man" to yourself.

-Again, the law.

The entire concept of seeking social justice thru civil disobedience and passive resistance, a great American tradition, whether by MLK or Ali or anyone else, seems beyond you.

Again, entirely predictable.

#60 | Posted by 101Chairborne

It must piss you off that I beat the draft without incident. Not so stupid. The law was made for morons who didn't know how to get out. Never did jury duty either.

You're righ, GayRay, this isn't Germany. Very astute observation.

But getting more like it. You're the type who welcomes it.

GayRay,
Being gay was one of the things that got you out of the draft, but be proud!
Besides, they lost the war as it was, they didn't need some limpwristed sack like you around making things worse.

You're a nobody, and noone is calling you a hero for being a coward and shirking your duty as an american, so no, GayRay, you don't piss me off in the least.

Why do I keep having to point out the obvious(like how I pushed your buttons and corrected you on the lost fame and fortune...neither of which you've mentioned since...good dog)? If it was tired, boring, and predictable it wouldn't have set you off like it did. Or are you just an easily led dupe that gets angry over things even though you're aware they're going to happen?

Sure Corks, the racism schtick has lost it's luster for everyone, yet the tard I'm currently kicking around seems to have fallen for it...

My god man, do you think before hitting the button?

Commenting on your embarrassingly tired shtick as embarrassingly tired isn't "falling for it", dumbass.

And besides, it isn't shtick if you mean it, which you most obviously do. No one could repeat such tripe ad nauseum if they didn't.

Calling it shtick is just an excuse to post your racist crap.

Ali gave up very little except a few fights and mo money more then he ever needed. Pat Tillman gave up so much more----money and his life.

No one could repeat such tripe ad nauseum if they didn't.

So you believe that actors who play specific roles for a length of time really believe as their characters?

You ain't real bright, corky. Seriously. That was one dumb shit statement you made.

You're a nobody, and noone is calling you a hero for being a coward and shirking your duty as an american, so no, GayRay, you don't piss me off in the least.

Reasoning like that shows how stupid you are. The State is not society. One cannot serve society by serving the State. Peace cannot be achieved through war. What kind of moron would go to war because some lowlife lying politician like Johnson or Obama says he should go? You're big on ego, but short on brains. That's why you like war. It doesn't take brains to destroy and kill.

One can debate about whether a particular war is justified or not (Vietnam War---not) but it's hard to argue apart from the war issue about who made a bigger sacrifice/choice. Pat Tillman apart from the war issue made a huge choice; the type of choice I would hold up to my children as being not self-centered. You can argue whether it was "stupid" etc. but there is no argument about it's selflessness.

I think tillman's example serves many purposes.

Certainly an example of not being self centered

but also a lesson to the youth that politicians will use you and destroy you without a moment's thought

i prefer to raise children that have a healthy skepticism and service of the state is not necessarily the best way to do good

Don't have an issue with those statements, but one must be careful not to "dissent" just for "dissent's" sake. There are too many individuals that have done that within this country for too long. They become mindless robots. Many appear to still live in the 60s or unfortunately are offspring of the same.

No, just more self-serving and disingenuous. I never bought into the MSM hype of Ali. I think his poor treatment of Joe Frazier and others revealed a side of him that was not all that noble.

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into two classes; openly bad and secretly bad.

Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us.

nothing personal matsop, but anyone who volunteers in a time of war, knows that there is a good chance of serving in an active theater of war. Therefore, they have the ability and responsibility to completely understand the political, economic, societal, etc conditionsof that conflict.

I found Iraq to be a war of agression and as the years went on, it became clearer and clearer that we had no right being there. I hold volunteers responsible for their actions, supporting through their acts- murder and war crimes on another country. no volunteer post 3/03 (in iraq's case) can claim that they were unaware of what they were doing.

i hold people responsible for their decisions and I find a decision to go to war and kill people the most profound one can make and I find no acceptable justification for serving the us military in iraq and though i have never supported afghanistan i can understand one's willingness (even eagerness) to serve there after 9/11, but within a few years (if not months) it became clear that we have no right to be in afghanistan (now that we are fighting the afghan civil war).

Sorry, pussy, I wasn't soiling anything; on the contrary, you're the one tap dancing after being caught pretending someone else's words were yours. And you're clearly having a hissy fit at the fact it was obvious the plagiarized writing was head-and-shoulders above your capabilities.

"From now on when I see you browsing the DR, I'll attempt to put the appropriate quotes in place----just for you, anal retentive Dan."

Please do, plagiarizer Matslop.

He changed his name to avoid the draft.

Piece of Shit

He converted to Islam long before he was drafted, dumbass.

"He changed his name to avoid the draft."

This idiot doesn't seem to be able to get anything right.

Almost eerie he was given the middle name Marcellus when one looks up the various definitions and origin. That fit as well as his nickname the Louisville Lip...

1986 at the Riviera Hotel for the Thomas/Berbick fight and got off the House phone and turned around and there was Ali, Holmes and their entrourage walking to the elevator. Walked right up to Holmes and shook his hand, then shook Ali's hand told him he will always be the greatest. Looked at me told me thank you very much, and as I turned around there was Don King with his hand out not knowing wtf I was. Back then King to me was a leech and I waved him off which made Ali and company erupt in laughter. King simply took it in stride and got in the elevator...

Met him once back in the 70s. He lived in Cherry Hill NJ, not too far from my in laws.

Ali dodged the draft cause he didn't believe that he should go fight for a country that didn't treat him like a human being..

had the vietnam war occurred after the civil rights movement you never know what could have happened.

but the truth is ... the usa was in one breath telling blacks they had to fight and in the other breath telling them they weren't equal citizens..

so he wasn't a pansy.. it took courage to stand up for that belief in a time where being black was being told where to sit and where not to sit.

"He changed his name to avoid the draft.
Piece of Shit"

no he avoided the draft cause he didn't give a shit about the US political movement when blacks were 3rd class citizens...

the draft for the vietnam war was a shitty thing in the first place...

maybe your kids will defend the iraq war just as stupidly as you defend the vietnam war.

so he wasn't a pansy.. it took courage to stand up for that belief in a time where being black was being told where to sit and where not to sit.

As brave as he was in the ring taking on the toughest opponents of his day, taking a stand against the Vietnam war when he did and sacrificing what he did for his beliefs was prolly the bravest thing and the best thing he ever did in his life.

Which isn't to say he wasn't the best boxer Spud has ever seen.

Cos he was.

Boxing got old fast after Ali left the ring.

Happy birthday, Champ!

Be Well.

Knowing he pretended to play football as a runside linebacker and cornerback.... Coupled with his backing of stimulus money being spent on male asian hooker studies... To quote an old NFL promo: You make the call!

#100 To those with actual usable reading comprehension skills, it's a retort to the asinine comments about veggitarians.

Which means it's just gibberish to you and Burro Boy.

vegetarians.

"Which means it's just gibberish to you and Burro Boy."

Gibberish? Is that some loser talk? Aren't you the one who claimed teams only run to the right, and that the tight end has no bearing on a weak or strong side offensive line? LMAO!!!

#104

More lame? Or more stupid?

"We retort, you deride."

"More lame? Or more stupid?"

You tell us Corky...

The run side is the defense's left side because most teams offense runs right, their strong side or run side. You wear your stupidity like a badge of honor.

You won the minute you claimed to have played football. Anyone making up some "runside" defensive position outed himself. Couple that with another gem that a 49 yard field goal is automatic, and one can see how fucking clueless you are and no doubt a liar...

Your obession with me seems a little weird.... I only have 2 legs after all.

In other words, you are once again getting beat up like Tex Cobb and as usual continue to put your chin out for more....

Beat on? On some idiotic football trivia you have apparently obsessed about since early December?

Crispee OC = Obtuse Clown.

Let me see if I can ease your tiny little clown mind a bit, though.

Strongside linebacker -The strongside linebacker (SLB) is often nicknamed "Sam" for purposes of calling a blitz. Since the strong side of the offensive team is the side on which the tight end lines up, or whichever side contains the most personnel, the strongside linebacker usually lines up across from the tight end. Often the strongside linebacker will be called upon to tackle the running back on a play, because the back will be following the tight end's block. He is most often the strongest linebacker; at the least he possesses the ability to withstand, shed, and fight off blocks from a tight end or fullback blocking the backside of a pass play. The linebacker should also have strong safety abilities in pass situation to cover the tight end in man on man situations. He should also have considerable quickness to read and get into coverage in zone situations.

en.wikipedia.org

When I played in Pop Warner as a kid and in high school, the late fifties and early sixties, the tight end almost always lined up on the right side of the offence, the strong or run side of the offence, as teams then (as are many today) were considered, "right-handed"; they usually ran right, to their strong side behind the TE, hence it was popularly called the, "run side", and the strong or run side LB was the defensive left-side LB.

Now, I could also help you with that problem you have tying your shoelaces, but I'm afraid that in your case it would require a Powerpoint presentation and several weeks of intensive study.

"Beat on? On some idiotic football trivia you have apparently obsessed about since early December?"

Trivia? You claimed to have played football and I simply proved you are a fucking liar based on your own words. Nothing trivial about it. Just like all those degrees you brag about coming back and beating you over the head. Maybe if you didn't have to lie and make shit up, you wouldn't get hammered like you do. Look how bad danforth and his resume is mocked here...

This clown hasn't even the socially redeeming value of making people laugh... intentionally, I mean.

What happened if there were two tight ends in the game? Or no tight end in the formation? Did the coach tell you to stand there and wait for the play to come to you? LMAO!!!

Here is your brilliant link you provided. Have to say, nothng about the tight end being likely to line up only on the right. LMAO!!!

Yes, I clearly remember back to the last presidential election when we all mocked Obama's lack of experience and your ilk thought it was a plus that he didn't have any.

Anyway, even you are smart enough to know you're mocked for your zatoichi like need to name drop, attempt to brag, and an insatiable need to try and impress people on the net. You can't help it though, it's because you're thin skinned and insecure. That doesn't mean we're not going to constantly laugh at you, it just means we know why you're such a petty douche.

we know why you're such a petty douche

Speaking of...did you know Danforth was among the first to discover the cleansing power of salt and vinegar?

He actually experimented with it while leading the search for his MIL's ID Card. Did you know he was part of the committe that decided it was easier to call an Identification an "I.D."? Yep. All true.

Really, please cite five or six examples which should be easy if they 'always' do it.

"Really, please cite five or six examples which should be easy if they 'always' do it."

Look up the last ten threads I've posted on. Nobody can challenge the facts, so they attack my education and experience and pretend it must be false.

Failing that, google "evolution", "biology","climate science", and "cultural elite".

(And yes, "always" was hyperbole. You're right: I went too far.)
