Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, August 05, 2006

The conservative weblog Little Green Footballs caught a doctored Reuters photo of Beirut edited to show more smoke, an allegation supported by professional photojournalists on SportsShooter.Com. Reuters has withdrawn the photo, stating that "photo editing software was improperly used on the image," and released the actual photo.

Well, that's what you get with the conservative repofundies outsourcing for cheaper labor.

Now they are bitching about what they are getting for quality.

I looked and I just don't see it. It looks like the guy just took a copy and switches it back and forth with a red border.

Is this the best you got?

I'm currious. Why do you right-wingers cling to stuff like this in a blog? Why are you so unsure that Israel is not destroying buildings and people? Feelings of guilt, denial, dred?
Does it all mean that Israel is bombing no inocent folks.

Does this make you not see the suffering? If yes, it must be nice.

The web site shows nothing. Buildings can look alike. Especially if you use photoshop to cut and splice them together.

That has to be about the most photo-shopped looking picture I've seen in a newspaper.

That's even worse than that fake picture of Ground Zero, with the smoke blowing the wrong way.

This is why Republifundies will always fail in their attempts to create another fascist dictatorship: they are fucking stupid.

It does look doctored. Why would reuters do that?

I can understand the NY Times wanting to hurt Israel and get as much sympathy for Hezbolah as possible....but Reuters?

They never have struck me as a particularly partisan publication.

They never have struck me as a particularly partisan publication.

Hello!!!!!!Hello!!!!!Is anybody out there!!!!!!

Doctored? Why would Reuters do that?
He blew it up and saw inconsistencies-big whup-blow ANY photo up and you can find inconsistensies.
Especially-as in this case-it appears to be a "digital" copy he downloaded-and then blew up with his own computer.
NOT a very professional way to do things.
Ah well-what else can you expect from the party that wanted to Impeach Clinton even before he took office?
wahhhhhhhh!wahhhh!
wwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
hhhhh!!!!



Time for the CON servative waaaaahhhhhmbulance!
"Hand me that tin-foil hat there dude-I got me some librulz to deflect from da trewt.."

I use Photoshop a lot for work and play... that definitly looks like the Clone tool was used, but I'm no photo expert so I don't want to say it definitly is, plus I'm just in from drinking so I could be seeing double anyways...

What a stupid move if true. Why add smoke? Is someone really going to look at this picture without the smoke and say, "I'd love to vacation there." Very stupid...

It reminds me of the Rather-gate story... Maybe the story was accurate, but because of unethical jounalistic behavior the story now is how fucked up the news is, and now many of the stories that put Israel in a bad light over last few weeks, hell years, have to be called into question.

Yes, the photo is doctored. Why? Because is makes Isreal look bad.

The right wingers cling to this stuff because the left wingers are in total and complete denial that there is any type of bias is in the media, even when it is right in front of there faces such as this picture. I mean jeezzz, Crassus was already making excuses before anyone could post anything.

www.ynetnews.com

is a nice find too. I like the part about the BBC "reporter" reporting his onw views being given to Lebanese.

it's tiring trying to find news and not "news" that is thinly veiled crap spewed by those with political agendas.

Reminds me of FOX news showing what looked like a crowded square in Bahgdad showing thousands of people celebrating Saddam's statue being torn down. European news agencies had shown pictures taken above the scene and there were about 200 people there and it was estimated that 150 were US troops and foregin reporters!

They never have struck me as a particularly partisan publication.

My take on Reuters is that it's too international for American tastes, but would be viewed as fair by most of the world.

This kind of fakery doesn't help that reputation. I'm loathe to give LGF a compliment, but they did a good thing here.

I can understand the NY Times wanting to hurt Israel and get as much sympathy for Hezbolah as possible....but Reuters?

You ARE being a total harpie today.

"Yes, the photo is doctored. Why? Because is makes Isreal look bad."

I'd guess some bozo at Reuters thought it needed "more smoke." (Remember the way O.J. Simpson's face was darkened by either Newsweek or Time?)

There are plenty of photos coming out of this scrap that make "Isreal" look bad.

Yep there is plently of photos that make Isreal look bad if you want them too. There are also plenty that make Hezbollah look bad as well but those are a bit harder to find.

I do find it interesting that people still seem to expect Israel to "fight fair" against a terrorist organization. I hope that those who expect a "fair fight" understand that there is nothing ever fair about war. Or as a seargent in WW2 told a soldier once, the only way to be "fair" in war is to be fair to yourself and that means coming out the otherside still alive.

It occurred to me that Israel is not defending itself as a nation per se. It is defending itself as a Jewish nation. History repeats. Europe was engaged in religious wars for hundreds of years until everybody was so exhausted they decided it was better to learn to live together. I don't see a zionist Israel as tenable in the long term. Oh the waste in the meantime.

All I can say is

TOLD YOU SO .....

Although I know you liberals, useful idiots, people who actually take Ray seriously etc already know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING ...

for the rest of you, perhaps you'd like to see some of the Hizb'aalah crap that you've been eating up like candy ...

eureferendum.blogspot.com

Wouldn't be nice for Israel GZ if everything they did had to be filtered through them? Think of the possibilities. Doesn't that idea excite you?

GZL:

Here's some virtual cash.

Go get yourself virtually laid.

Although I know you liberals, useful idiots, people who actually take Ray seriously etc already know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING ...

It hurts to be right so often. It seems like only yesterday when I told you this was going to erupt into a major regional war between the US and Israel, and Muslims. We have yet to see the worst of it.

And there you were like the useful idiot you are predicting peace was just around the corner.

Hey ZHAR and RAY

Awww don't like being exploited by a bunch of radical Islamists?

Can't stand being the useful idiots?

Sorry ... shit happens guys

First of all .. Peace WAS just around the corner. Why do you think all of this happened in the first place ...?

You still don't understand any of this do you?

I've been saying for a year that unless these groups are taken out, NO peace will ever come. I've been saying they had to be disarmed .. remember Ray? I've called them THUGS, I've said it over and over and over again.
Well, now you're seeing why. Its these groups that continue the status quo and you hand wringers actually enable them to do so.

These groups serve no purporse other then to advance agendas of their sponsors - Iran, Syria. They certainly have zero to do with the Palestinians as can clearly be seen now.

Everytime we do get close, its these groups that are directed to blow it up.
That's just the reality ...

I'm just an observer with a bias towards a government foreign policy based on non-interventionism.

Yep shit happens GZ. And most of it is flying back in your face. Have you noticed Arab support for Hizbollah is growing stronger. While here in the states, the polls are predicting a major Republican defeat.

No doubt Israel and the US are militarily stronger by yards. The problem is, all that death and destruction is turning world opinion against them. "The pen is mightier than the sword." Remember that one?

Turn off the crying towel GZ. The zionists knew back in the 40s the would meet stiff resistance. 60 years of constant conflct has only proved they made the arrogant mistake of underestimating the depth of Muslim resistance.

I wonder how many of their photos as well as their reported news has been 'doctored' in the past? Do we know that this was a one time incident; or did they just get caught this time? Now one must question the veracity of this news service.

Ray,

There is a war between the west and radical muslims. It has just yet to be declared. I wish it would be, so we can just fight whoever without worrying about civilians and get it over with.

Turn off the crying towel GZ. The zionists knew back in the 40s the would meet stiff resistance. 60 years of constant conflct has only proved they made the arrogant mistake of underestimating the depth of Muslim resistance.

First whats up with a "crying towel" what are you going on about now?

You stop with this fixation of Zionists as if there's some sort of evil cabal.

I'll just say this Ray and you can ponder it ...

Arafat
Egypt
Jordan

The rest os all bullshit. Your rants are just rants and there's just no basis in any of them. Israel has had peace with its neighbors for decades. Israel has made numerous offers to Arafat who rejected them. Arafat is no known to have stolen a billion in case. Do I need to continue or have you learned something here.

You also ducked all my points about the THUGS who when they are finally exterminated, and you better hope they will be, peace will come

Ray doesn't buy it BOAZ .. he thinks its all about the Zionists.

Ray will be one of those watching as Europe sinks wringing his hands blaming Israel and his favorite subject - the Zionists.

Ray and those like him are the fifth column for radical Islam in the US - they're the useful idiots who advance the cause by always buying the PR ..by never accepting whats right in front of their facees.

Sad but true.

Ray the athiest ends up (unwittingly of course) a big supporter of the Party of God ... how ironic.

i would agree this is a war between the west and radical muslin world wide. i believe the picture was doctered to make isreal look bad. the democrats and radical muslims want to destroy this country and isreal, hoping they can win in november, aint gonna happen the american poeple aint gonna vote dems and radical in now when the future is at stake. just imagine speaker nancy,cant swim sen kennedy or charlie rangel leading the democrats

Boaz

The war began as a local conflict 60 years ago and now it is growing regionally into a full scale uprising against anything to do with the US and Israel. You will get your wish. But I don't think you will like the outcome.

As an analogy, I see Israel as an American colony. Colonialism as you know eventually gave way to local sentiments. America's days as a colonial empire are numbered as are Israel's days as a zionist nation.

You also ducked all my points about the THUGS who when they are finally exterminated, and you better hope they will be, peace will come

Huh? That was the point I addressed. You are still living in a fantasy.

Ray doesn't buy it BOAZ .. he thinks its all about the Zionists.

I know. I know. You would want me to believe that Muslims were out to control the world. Well the money trail does lead to a zionist Israel.

Ray the athiest ends up (unwittingly of course) a big supporter of the Party of God ... how ironic.

By that logic, it wouldn't matter what position I took. They all think God is on their side.

The Leftists JUMP to defend efforts to lie about Israel's responsibilities in fighting a war!

You anti-American, subversive pissants want Israel defeated! You want the terrorists to win!

You faithles humanists are only interested in having the US defeated, democracy damaged and the human sacrifice of the Islamic fascists to be successful! . . .

. . . so that Bush will be defeated and you literal traitors can gain political advantage . . .

You are the literal scum of the earth -- to verminous war profiteers and supporters of inhuman sacrifice!

Hey USEFUL IDIOTs ...

chek this one out

"Reuters employee issues 'Zionist pig' death threat / Yaakov Lappin
Worker suspended after telling American blogger: 'I look forward to day when you pigs get your throats cut' "

Now which one of you UI (useful idiots) was that again who called me "Thick skulled" when I continued to post about this going on ?

feeling a bit used ?

hahahahahahaha

You got it exactly right TAD ...

And this story differs from the one already posted hours ago on the DR at the following link in what way?
www.drudge.com

You anti-American, subversive pissants want Israel defeated! You want the terrorists to win!

How's the blood pressure Tad?

zarkov, the first thread only claimed that Reuters doctored the photo.

In this thread Reuters actually admits to doctoring the photo.

That is the difference.

"Photographer who sent altered image is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Qana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged"

So says the blog. Got a name?

"A Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to an American blogger.

The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut."

It was sent to Charles Johnson, owner of the Little Green Footballs (LGF) weblog, a popular site which often backs Israel and highlights jihadist terrorist activities.

Reuters = zero credibility
and now The Guardian (UK) has a few questionss to answer ...


www.ynetnews.com

In an additional twist, Johnson traced the movements of the sender of the threat, and found direct parallels between the internet locations of the sender and Inayat Bunglawala, Media Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain.

Bunglawala, who contirbuted an editorial to the Guardian website, has attracted negative attention in the past after making anti-Semitic outbursts, and has declared that the British media was "Zionist-controlled."

In the comment section of the Guardian, underneath his own editorial, Bunglawala denied sending the threat, blaming "Zionists" instead.

"That was not me! Methinks some Zionists are up to mischief," he wrote.

"There is strong circumstantial evidence connecting Bunglawala to the threat, but there is no way for me to verify this for certain. Only a Reuters network administrator would have access to the necessary records," Johnson said

Doofus5-Reuters admitted one of their photographers doctored the photograph before he submitted it-jeebus you keep tryin' that institutional bias crap-try takin' off the tin foil hat once in a while.

zarkov, "Adnan Hajj, the photographer who sent the altered image, was also the Reuters photographer behind many of the images from Qana which have also been the subject of suspicions for being staged."

frank, "Reuters admitted one of their photographers doctored the photograph before he submitted it" please provide the source for this infor.

Why would reuters accept a doctored photo. And why would they suspend the photographer pending an investigation if they knew the photo was doctored in the first place.

Please provide sources for your "facts".

DERF

For your fall fashion headgear choices:

TIN FOIL HAT FASHIONS

CC: No comments that the same photographer that doctored thses photos also supplied the Qana photos?

Could it be that maybe you and your idiot compadres have been victimized by Terrorist propoganda into taking the side of hezbolah over Israel?

Could that it be a possibilty?

I am starting to think so...sucker.

You hate Bush and Israel so much that you fall for the terrorist bullshit every time.

When are you going to learn that the US, Bush and Israel is not the enemy. Those terror groups and regimes which have vowed to destroy our allies and us...are the enemies.

It's not rocket science but it seems impossible for you and the rest of your defeaticrat buddies to grasp this simple fact.

Ray's reasoned commentary, "How's the blood pressure Tad?"

You must be one of the "small" ones, eh Ray? Instead of saying that you would like to see a democracy, a relatively free society, win over those who still practice human sacrifice as part of their "religion," you ask about my blood pressure?

I suppose you think an objective observer would actually think you were concerned for my health?

I suppose so. . . since that is the sort of moronic idiot you are always making of yourself, in just this way. . .

Pissant terrorist supporting jerks . . .

Spud luffs them li'l fucknutz over @ little green men dot not-so-calm.

Apparently they are surprised to learn that there is an information war going on.

They've also figured out the fact that the hezbollah guys are relative noobs when it comes to this kind of thing.

Now if they can just open their eyes a little wider and start getting the big picture...

This clumsy and fairly obvious use of the clone tool in photo-shop to make the bombing look more devastating in order to make Israel look somehow worse, simply did not work.

Spud is still on the line over whether that was the true intention of this photojournalist or whether he was just trying to make his shot more saleable.

Perhaps a bit of both.

If Hezbollah really want to get a better grasp of the more sophisticated tactics used in such campaigns Spud advises them to study Israel and the United States.

Them boys got the agit-prop/ manufactured consent thing down to an art.

Misinformation, disinformation, out and out lies, a subservient and largely toothless press corps, major media in compliance with the state in terms of wot is expressable and wot isn't.

Apparently the guys at LGF are familiar with the guys previous work...

"He also took this infamous photograph from Qana of the guy in the green helmet, parading a dead body around for pictures, featured on the front pages of newspapers worldwide."

The guy "parading" the body of the child around was in fact a rescue worker removing the lifeless childs body from a pile of rubble that was once a house.

He is clearly indicated as such by the photog and in the photo appears to be carrying the child up high in order to avoid rubble. He is not looking at the dead child cos quite frankly it's a hard sight to look at.

Aside from that, Spud must reluctantly acknowledge the freaks at LGF fer catching this fraud.

Spud sez Good Eye.

Now if they could just start engaging their brains too they might have sommat!

Be Well.

PS After about 10 hours of solid, much needed sleep, the tater o' doom has once again entered blogworld
stage left.

"Pissant terrorist supporting jerks . . "

Morning Taddles!

Tiny correction if Eye may...

In point of fact, you are supporting the tactics that actually create more terrorists.

Ergo... you are a pissant, terrorist creating jerk.

Do you really think there is a purely military solution to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and now Lebanon?

Really?

Cos if ya do you are basically a moron.

If you are not willing to look at every side of this problem you are part of the problem and not the solution.

So sez Spud!

Be Well.

Nope, no anti-semitic liberal bias in the media here.

Spud,

Why is it that people are so ready to belive any conspiracy theory about the government of the US, but so reluctant to belive the same about any other group.

Did you actualy read about green helmet in LGF or just hear about it or skim the headline? They made a convincing argument, well as convinging as any of the US government was behind 9/11 theories. Yet somehow those are easy to belive but Hezbollah wouldn't do such a thing huh?

I suppose you think an objective observer would actually think you were concerned for my health?

Tad I'm surprised you missed my point. You had nothing worth while to say. Your post was so frenzied, I could imagine your face turning red and the blood vessels in your neck popping up. You're a nobody. Not even fun to argue with.

If the US wasn't involved in the ME, I wouldn't care what happened to Israel. But since we are involved in a fruitless war, I get a degree of satisfaction in pointing out its madness. That's your problem if you don't like it.

DERF

I don't hate Israel at all and never did. I do hate Bush because he is evil and responsible for so many needless deaths, so you are right about that part.

This photographer should be fired on the spot and the newspaper should make a public apology. The photo was pretty lame. There's smoke all over the place so I don't know why he needed to doctor some smoke of his own.

As for the photos of the victims at Quan -- I didn't question them because the IDF ADMITTED that they bombed that apt. building but didn't know that it was all civilians so why should I doubt the photos on that incident? You don't make sense there. I believed Israel when they said they didn't know it was just civilians and Israel (most times) at least gives warnings prior to bombing buildings for people to get out.

Also, I saw actual footage of them carrying out little kids from that apt. in Quan on stretchers with rigor mortis setting in, so unless these kids are Oscar winning actors, I would say the following:

1. they were little kids
2. they were DEAD
3. they were killed by a bomb that the IDF admitted was dropped in error on that apt. building in Quan.

IF you keep defending and denying Israel did something on EVERY SINGLE INCIDENT (even stuff that the IDF itself admits!) then you will not be believed (and agreed with) when stuff that is actually made up, lied about, and false -- such as this doctored photo put out by Reuters -- really happens.

"Pissant terrorist supporting jerks . . "

Have a glass of warm milk. It does a body good.

When are you going to learn that the US, Bush and Israel is not the enemy.

Don't disgrace the U.S. by putting Bush in the same catagory as my country. Israel is no enemy of mine. My country - the USA - is no enemy to me. Bush, however, is an enemy to this country and all decent truthseeking people and should be thrown out of office ASAP for war crimes, lying, and treason.

CalifChris says, "Don't disgrace the U.S. by putting Bush in the same catagory as my country."

I would pity you, if you were actually sincere in your emotional display of active subversion, but you're not -- you're a terrorist supporting, Islamic fascist apologist. One who literally cannot discuss, directly, the image presented by runny-yellow-dog-democrats spreading propaganda against the US commander-in-chief during a time of warfare. . .

You literal traitors to the US are only interested in gaining a partisan, US political advantage . . . and the ends-justify-your-fascist-aims by staning in support of terrorism and Hezbollah's efforts to kill Israelis! You literally want to "win" by the US being defeated in their support for Israel!

You pathetic, stupid stand-ins for Islamic fascist terrorism and human sacrifice!

Disgusting vermin of American politics!


Israel is no enemy of mine. My country - the USA - is no enemy to me. Bush, however, is an enemy to this country and all decent truthseeking people and should be thrown out of office ASAP for war crimes, lying, and treason.

See? Tad is coming around.



Oh. It was a quote?

This kind of fakery doesn't help that reputation. I'm loathe to give LGF a compliment, but they did a good thing here.

You forgot to mention the good thing they did with Ole Dan too! ;-)

TedBaxter (they name themselves perfectly!) says "See? Tad is coming around."

See? You are another running-yellow-dog-democrat who IS COMPELLED to misdirect your support, and your faithless traitorous party, for fascist Islamic terrorists!

You can't do anything else but to misdirect that!

Pissand, traitorous partisan vermin . . . !

Oh my gosh. Tad mispelled "pissant"

Tommy,

Medication is the answer.

misdirect your support, and your faithless traitorous party


Misdirect?

Whose post appeared at 2:34? I believe it was Mr. Dowe's.

Ray says, "Oh my gosh. Tad mispelled 'pissant'"

Oh, my gosh! Ray forgot to end his sentence with a period (".")

Now . . . that's what a pizzant does . . . the terrorist supporting running-yellow-dog-democrat war profiteers . . .

Hey Liarowe:

The other day, you claimed to only insult those who have insulted you first.

Where did Chris mention you, let alone insult you?

Yet...there you go!

Liar!!!

Add this to the long line of lies you have spewed in each and every post.

I certainly hope that you don't think yourself to be credible, thinking others will change their opinions on political matters because of your "insightfulness" (*cough, cough*)!!

If anyone here is to be pitied...it most definately is you

You have some serious mental problems.

Seek help!!!!

Have a great day!

"democrat war profiteers"

What?

TaojonesWarrior,

"Why is it that people are so ready to believe any conspiracy theory about the government of the US, but so reluctant to believe the same about any other group?"

Some people have a bias that predisposes them to see wot they want to see in stuff.

Like that photo of the dead child.

A lot of it depends on perspective.

It's where you stand that determines what you can see. But if you make an effort you can see beyond yer own narrow perspective in order to see the bigger picture.

Spud fer example tries to see both the good and the evil in all sides of this middle east conflict as well as its historical, sociological and geopolitical roots.

Everybody should.

" but Hezbollah wouldn't do such a thing huh?

Spuds point was that hezzbollah was clumsily attempting something that the U.S. and Israel are pretty good at due to long practise.

Which is to say... media manipulation.

Spud hates the killing going on by both sides alongside the lying.

Spud strongly reject the false construct of the either/or dichotomy here.

So many folk around here think you either want Israel destroyed or you want Lebanon destroyed.

Spud categorically rejects both viewpoints as being utterly mad.

Spud wants everybody to get along.

Spud wants peace.

Spud's weird.

Be Well.

That's exactly EXACTLLY the hypocritical running-yellow-dog-democrat I attempt to describe --

Literally STUPID supporters of terrorism, to defeat Bush mentalities (term used loosely and in its most pejorative sense) I'm talking about!

Piz.z.z.ant traitorous terrorist supporters ... not anything like patriots, but the exact opposite . . .

. . . are you one of those, Lisa, one of the "gang" that points their finger at me, instead of realizing that any objective observer can see right through your misdirections and avoidance that you actually are stand-ins for human sacrifice . . .

pathetic, albeit verminous . . . ?

This blog is nuts. TADOWE accuses me of being a left wing Islamfacist, yellow dog Democrat on this thread while on the Liberman topic thread ALL AMERICAN accuses me of being as far right as you can get.

CALUFCHRI

Now that your party has run 3 campaigns based on Gay Marriage and Flag Burning do you feel safer?

Is the country moving in the right direction? Which happens to be straight into the ground thanks to your idiot in the White House and a Congress who do nothing but make things worse for 98 percent of us and better for 2%.

You're in for a shock in 2006 and 2008.

Guess you don't read books or newspapers either like our president. Only reason you don't know that two thirds of Americans (including a large minority of the GOP voters) disapprove of Bush...and for very good reasons.,

TedTheNewsroomIdiot says, "Misdirect?

What misdirection? Do you think that I am spinning away from the fact that Reuters is a Bush hating bunch of socialist, Islamic terrorist supporting geeks?

I guess so, by describing the American political party: Democratic, as running-yellow-dog-democrats supporting the Islamic fascist terrorists, and along with their practice of human sacrifice.

And, that's it, in the veritable nutshell: You running-yellow-dog-democrats are virtual traitors to the United States in attempting to withdraw in defeat from Iraq and in your criticisms of Israel; rather than Hezbollah -- those cowards who hide their lying, fat frames behind their women and children (when they can't find a friendly UN headquarters to defend them . . .)

In other words, the Democrats are subversives, attempting to gain political advantage by lending aid-and-comfort to our terrorist enemy . . .

Plain as the nose on Ted Kennedy's alcoholic fat face . . .

Running-yellow-dog-democrat anti-patriot, human sacrifice supporting war profiteers . . .

verminous scum . . .

Come on back and apologize for lying about me...or apologize for being stupid...or both!!

I could have sworn that a few days ago, Tadowe was complaining about others calling him names.

I mispoke earlier.

Self-medication is not the answer.

Re your 3:49: if the running-yellow-dog-democrats are virtual traitors, does that not mean that the knee-jerk republicans are the real traitors to this country and its constitution?

Lisa makes me the subject, "First he quotes Ray as saying he mispelled pissant, and obviously, he's too stupid to recall he made that post because he comes back and then says that I said it!!"

You are misdirecting from the fact that Reuters, with the OBVIOUS agreement of your running-yellow-dog-democrats, hate Bush and are attempting to discredit Israel, and by proxy, US strategy in the ME.

This is a time of active warfare in Iraq, yet you subversives attempt to muckrake and cavil about every-single-issue that comes to the leftist media's view, in order to gain political advantage. . . You literally do not care that this encourages the very enemy we are fighting now, this moment, and who are endangering the lives of our soldiers!

Instead of noticing that the international community is hoping for US defeat by criticising Israel and their actions, while tacitly supporting the goals and tactics of the terrorists, you make me the subject of your "political" commentary.

Really, do you think you are doing anything more than demonstrating your gang-like efforts to misdirect and switch the subject to me?
LMAO!

"I didn't think they would allow him to have a computer in a rubber room. That guy is definately whacked."

Whacked, but the favorite subject of Lisa, when the subject is scum support of terrorists and, by proxy, human sacrifice . . . I count coup on obsessed jerks like you, Lisa . . .

"Lisa makes me the subject,"

I didn't make you the subject...you did...you and your stupidity demand attention! It's what you crave!!

Taddy tries in vain to distract from being caught in yet another lie: "You are misdirecting from the fact that Reuters..."

Hahahaha...Liarowe!! You accused me of saying something that I never did. I busted you, you know it, now all of a sudden you want to go back to subject!!
What an idiot!!!

Do America a favor and seek immediate psychological help!!

"You literally do not care that this encourages the very enemy we are fighting now, this moment, and who are endangering the lives of our soldiers!"

So wot are folk supposed to do Taddles?

"Just trust the President"?

Can't disagree with the Prez sez Taddles.

He's a "WAR PRESIDENT", ya know.

Ergo... he is above reproach, well... in Tadworld.

America is built on the right to dissent.

America is built on the knowledge that governments go too far sometimes and must be held accountable.

To not protest this unholy, unneccessary, evil, cynical, corporate friendly war is the act of a coward not a patriot.

Yer a coward, Taddles.

Yer an imperialist, running dawg lackey of those who would destroy America.

Spud thought ya might like to know that.

Be Well.

* dandelion break *

Woo Hoo! Is friggin' glorious day in Spudworld!!

TAD 9000,

Why is it that anyone who does not agree with you is a "Villain"?

All you do is Rant and Rave Insane Bullshit!!!

What about Bush letting Mexican enter the US and why has our Southern Border been Breeched 3 times in GOA tests?

Why is Bush supporting an Illegal Workers Program?

So why don't you call him a Traitor?

So if Israel has a right to protect its Border why is Bush letting Who Ever When Ever breach ours and supports it?

Lisa is correct and you are not and you know it, with your "One Trick Pony Rants"

-Sarge

You literally do not care that this encourages the very enemy we are fighting now, this moment, and who are endangering the lives of our soldiers!

Yeah sure, Bush had nothing to do with it.

"Raising an army of a hundred thousand men and marching them three hundred miles drains the pockets of the common people and the public treasury to the daily sum of a thousand taels of silver. It causes commotion and home and abroad and sets countless men tramping the highways exhausted. It keeps seven hundred thousand families from their work."

"The Art of War" by Sun-tzu.

That all you can do is insult shows you have nothing of substance to say. You're a loser Tad.

"We, the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution."

- Abraham Lincoln



America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

- Abraham Lincoln

How com nobody is screaming that the MSM and Hezbolah LIED abot Qana when they first reported 60 civilians were killed and the real number is 28.

Where is the outrage at the hezbolah loving media? Where is the outrage at hezbolah itself?

Tadowe, et al and other are right....the hypocrisy and hatred of America and Israel by the Left is disgusting.

TAD 9000,

You are nothing but a Fascist, the American Taliban.

You are not an American You, Sir Hate America, you come here and you spit on the US Construction daily.

You are the Traitor and you fully support the Dictator Ideology!

If it be asked, what are the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? The answer would be an inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws--the first growing out of the last.... A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government.

"He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and it time depraves all its good dispositions

-Thomas Jefferson

You are a very sad man TAD, very sad.....

-Sarge

Sarge, Lincoln suspended the bill of rights in numerous areas during his Pesidency,...how insane for you to quote him....you are calling for the impeachment of Bush for doing far less then what Lincoln did in advancing the power of the presidency during wartime.

If Lincoln had listened to you and your views of what a presidnet can and can't do...the Union would have probally lost.

So please don't quote Lincoln...you have not earned the right to.

If Lincoln had listened to you and your views of what a presidnet can and can't do...the Union would have probally lost.

It's debatable if that would have been bad.

"Sarge, Lincoln suspended the bill of rights in numerous areas during his Pesidency,...how insane for you to quote him....you are calling for the impeachment of Bush for doing far less then what Lincoln did in advancing the power of the presidency during wartime"

Dah You Ever Wonder Why ?

Because Half Of His Generals Went to Fight For The South.

They Knew Al the Tactics And Had Trained The Troops He Was Fighting Against, Plus Spy Would Travel Back And Forth from State To State Passing Battle Plans, There Was No High-Tech Security.

On Top Of That Fathers, Brothers, Cousins, Sisters Were on Either Side Of The War Between The States, So He Had to Because It Was A Civil War, Not A Damn Global War !!!

It Was Combat State To State Sharing The Very Same Water And Rail Ways !!!

So Drop It You Are 100% Wrong In Comparing What Is Done Now With Then !!!

-Sarge

"All", "Spies"

"Also, I saw actual footage of them carrying out little kids from that apt. in Quan on stretchers with rigor mortis setting in, so unless these kids are Oscar winning actors,"


STOP right there Chris ... you have failed to see some other possibilities. First, since I have endlessly posted the link to see the fake photos - some taken by the same photographer that's now been "suspended" by Reuters, if anyone bothered to look they would have seen two characters who appear in all the photos. Green Helmet and White T Shirt. Now the bloggers at Little Green Footballs have come up with who Mr Green Helmet is ... he runs the mortuary in Tyre and drives the refrigerator truck. That means he has plenty of access to bodies ...

Now I'll ask you chris to tell me that knowing this, are you still as sure as you were that the IAF was responsible for killing those bodies you saw Green Helmet carrying?



"1. they were little kids
2. they were DEAD"

The above is true BUT

"3. they were killed by a bomb that the IDF admitted was dropped in error on that apt. building in Quan."

This last one ... is not at all clear anymore. Even the IAF are saying that they did hit this building but for sure the building DID NOT collapse for 7 hours and only after another explosion of which the IAF says they had nothing to do with.

Now that you know the suspended photographer was the guy who doctored photos for Reuters and also took pics at Qana - can you really be so sure that Qana even happened as was orinally claimed?

I don't think so

Hezbolliwood stagecraft, bringing you the best in fake news and events.

A photo of the infamous Mr Green Helmet ... head of Tyre's mortuary. He appears in almost every pic of dead children. Did he just grab an extra body he had in his refrigerator truck ?


This photo was talen by the now suspended Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj

news.yahoo.com

Does it really matter GZ? Israel has made it clear they intend to bomb Lebanon back to the stone age.

ray, "Israel has made it clear they intend to bomb Lebanon back to the stone age."

Have they made that clear? I don't think they have. They seem to be hedging.

The need to do that...think "Sherman's March"...that, I am coming tobelieve, is theonly way to deal with terrorist movements and regimes.

I merged the two discussions on this doctored photo.

well at least this site has the balls to admit that the press will do anything to make the us....aka bush...and also israel look bad......but then we knew that already then didnt we?????

oh yeah...my question to a couple of you......if reuters didnt know that they got caught by ENTERPRISING and INTELLIGENT conservatives.....WHY did they take the photo away?????????????????

The right wingers cling to this stuff because the left wingers are in total and complete denial that there is any type of bias is in the media, even when it is right in front of there faces such as this picture. I mean jeezzz, Crassus was already making excuses before anyone could post anything.

Don't worry, the left sees the bias too..... I see it in FUX news, newsmux, the drudge REPORT, the NY Post, Rush Limpblob, Hannity....etc. OH, lets not forget those 'propaganda pieces' (Bush's words, not mine) that the administration pays people to produce and then air as news. Yup, you're right....bias in the press.

I'm not even sure the purpose was to make Israel look bad. These photographers are mostly freelance. This guy may have just wanted his picture to look cooler so it would be picked up by Reuters and enhance his reputation. Think Jayson Blair.

...but then again I'm not sure about that. If you look at the photos of rescue workers, a lot of them look like they were carefully set up. They just don't look natural...

CommonSense says, "Don't worry, the left sees the bias too..... "

And Freddy says, "I'm not even sure the purpose was to make Israel look bad."

After RightleaningRon said, "because the left wingers are in total and complete denial that there is any type of bias is in the media, even when it is right in front of there faces such as this picture. I mean jeezzz, Crassus was already making excuses before anyone could post anything."

You running-yellow-dog-democrats are completely unconscious!!! You can't help but reveal your twisted efforts to gain political advantage by supporting terrorists and apologising for the obvious anti-Semitism of this British news service!!!

Well, Freddy, I suppose you think it was to make Israel look good, that this photographer made the city look more densely populated and burning more intensely, after the bombing by Israel?

See, you dummies spin the subject onto personalities, apologise for manipulating the news, or excuse it because the evil "neocons" use propaganda, and literally promote feeling sorry for the "poor" Hezbollah!!!

You verminous scum anti-patriot geeks!!!

(Some of you traitors ex-servicemen, even. . . despicable . . .!!!)

Tad lumps Freddy in:

And Freddy says, "I'm not even sure the purpose was to make Israel look bad."


Then Tad accuses:

Tad, did you see the rest of Freddy's post:
....These photographers are mostly freelance. This guy may have just wanted his picture to look cooler so it would be picked up by Reuters and enhance his reputation. Think Jayson Blair.

This site has plenty of quotable BS. You don't need to quote out of context and mis-characterize to prove your point.

Jeff says, "This site has plenty of quotable BS. You don't need to quote out of context and mis-characterize to prove your point."

Reuters "suspended" this "freelance" photographer, Jeff . . . so that part of Freddy's effort to apologise for it is specious. Indeed, your effort to present an argument, making me the subject, is pretty suspect. Why are you misdirecting the subject? Surely not personal reasons?

I'd suggest you steer clear, Jeff. . .

Tad,


Reuters "suspended" this "freelance" photographer, Jeff . . . so that part of Freddy's effort to apologise for it is specious.


I didn't see Freddy's post as apologist. He offered clarification in the form of skepticism:

...but then again I'm not sure about that. If you look at the photos of rescue workers, a lot of them look like they were carefully set up. They just don't look natural...


I thought you were too narrow in your quotation of Freddy's post. Your analysis came accross as quoting out-of-context.



Tad,

I am off to bed.

I won't be back to this site for a few days, so I may not see your response (if you provide one).

Jeff says, " didn't see Freddy's post as apologist. He offered clarification in the form of skepticism: I thought you were too narrow in your quotation of Freddy's post. Your analysis came accross as quoting out-of-context."

I'm not the subject, Jeff, and you can't seem to understand that. You give the appearance of being Freddy's nanny, or something? Does he need your protection, Jeff? Are you related? Ideological kindred?

. . . surely, this isn't an obsession with me, personally, is it, Jeff?

Why don't you just buzz off, eh? Save the excuses for someone who might actually care about them?

You give the appearance of being Freddy's nanny, or something?....

Does he need your protection, Jeff? Are you related? Ideological kindred?....surely, this isn't an obsession with me, personally, is it, Jeff?


No, no, no and no.



Freddy's post consisted of 7 sentences. Yet, you quoted one and appeared to base your entire analysis of his position off that 1 sentence. However, when I read the post, in its entirety, the overall sentiment expressed is not synomymous with the one sentence that you seemed to have cherry-picked.

Did you read his post in its entirety?


Good night.

Jeff maunders on, "Did you read his post in its entirety?"

What in the world is it to you, Jeff? Why the big deal over Freddy and what I quoted?

You had absolutely no trouble, whatsoever, looking up what Freddy had to say on the subject! I don't need to quote the whole THING and since anyone who wants can do the same as you did! I even indicated that it was out-of-context by using elipses . . .

Go away . . .

A Lebanese photographer doctors photos to make the Israeli bombing look more horrible.

Lebanese photogrpahers, reporters, and citizens provide what look like "staged" photos of the massacre at Qana telling the western press that Israelis killed 60 civilians. The "truth" turns out to be 28 (less then 1/3 of the hyped total)

Idiots like Alex and other Liberals suggest that the Lebanese are completely innocent and peaceful and not taking sides..that thre is no collusion between civilians and Hezbolah whatsoever.

Yeah, OK....sure.

And these Leftis morons say that those of us on the Right are delusional and in denial. Ha ha fucken ha.
