Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Greg Palast, the investigative journalist whose book Florida college student Andrew Meyer recommended to John Kerry shortly before being tasered, may cover Meyer's trial for resisting arrest. "I feel some appreciation for Meyer," he blogged, "especially because, even while he was being shot with untold amps of electricity, until he was handcuffed, he would not let go of [my] book."

Top liars as far as I am concerned. Maybe you don't remember that little bitch Palast a few months ago lying about being arrested for taking photos of a oil refinery. Do a Gooogle search and take note of the headlines he garnered. Turns out his OWN article claims he was detained. As for Hersh and the other left wing nutjobs... How many articles over the last 3 years written by Hersh say we will be striking Iran?

May cover?

Way to make a decision.

If you want to know what a piece of shit Palast is, read his version of the events at the campus event.

Meyer, a telecommunications student at the Gainesville campus, asked related questions including a query as to why Kerry refused to vote for impeachment.

(When he passed his alloted one minute mic time, five cops jumped him, threw him to the ground, then shot him with taser shockers.)

Yea...I love all these misrepresentations of what happened. Just trying to sensationalize it.

Shocking!

even while he was being shot with untold amps of electricity

Hilarious. Almost as melodramatic as Meyer when he was yelling, "don't kill me. Don't let them kill me".

Tasers deliver 2-4 milliamps (2/1000 to 4/1000 amp) of current. 100 milliamps (1/10 amp) can kill. THis guy is funny. Perfect person to cover this clown's trial.

He'll cover the trial if the story is a big deal and he can gain still more attention from the incident.

If you really want to show appreciation for the kid, get him a good lawyer. Five years? Waste of taxpayer money to keep him locked up for what he did.



GoatShit,

You go from this:

Does anyone else see the irony here? Buffy telling someone to STFU on a thread that is about a student being robbed of his right to free speech. Good one, Boob!

FLIP FLOP


FLIP FLOP

He got his planned 15 minutes of clown fame.
Now the legal fees of his circus prevail.

How many articles over the last 3 years written by Hersh say we will be striking Iran?


Well, now that Bush has backed away, Bolton and Cheney want to pass the baton to Israel.

It's on their minds, it's in their plans and it might yet happen.

WTF you talking about? It's no more a flip flop than it is a piece of chocolate cake. A flip flop is a change of views or positions. Neither post states a position, much less changes one.

Goatman- people have died from being tasered.

ok.

Goatman- people have died from being tasered.

I know. That has nothing to do with the point I was making. The point was the melodramitc rhetoric of "untold amps". "Amps" can blow off a person's hand. A taser delivers 2-4 milliamps. I guess it sounds more melodramitic to an electronic tech than a layman.

That would be like calling a summer breeze hurricane force winds.

Or calling cartoon drawings actual evidence of WMD labs in Iraq.

cispee.........yeah chomsky is tops..

tops on bin laden's list too, I hear from that tape......nice company you are keeping........


this prick had his time to speak like everyone else and he had to keep going and make an ass of himself and the stupid thing for him is.....his questioning of kerry is now a sideline part of this as he has made himslef the issue........and of course thats what he wanted all along.......how many hits on his little piss ant site has he had.......several thousand....

like one student said......he should have been tasered a lot sooner.....

maybe the smart guy needs to be told.

we all have freedom of speach...( well unless the left wins in 08) but we cant yell fire in a theater and when there are other people to speak in a meeting like this and your time is up.....get the hell out of the way so others can have that same right......seems pretty simple to me.

What took so long, Jimmy? Usually a liberal has turned a completely non political thread into a bush or iraqi war bash withing the first half dozen posts or so. Even Danni did it in less than that in the traveler's diarrhea thread yesterday. You guys are slipping.

Is your party master going to have to beat you again?

well to be fair, goat......something the left doesnt know much about, by the way...

I can turn any post they put out into a blowjob billy thread......of course its easier when the person you are talking about is a lying piece of shit............

see.....I did it just then........

HBO & Pallast have shown us how two elections have been rigged. The first just enough to let the Supreme Court silence the people and appoint Shrub themselves. Blacks were targeted with Pallast and the Bradblog leading the charge against these crimes. A Government installed by generating disenfranchisment lists is not legitimate.
Pigs at the trough Democrats sat in silence. The unspoken rule in Politics is never say anything to undermine its legitimacy.

Divide and conquer. That there is anyone on this site that thinks that being long winded warrants arrest is a lesson in how Hitler took over. As long as you figure you're not the target you dipshits will go along with the dissolution of the Bill of Rights and rise of a POlice State. Once the loudest opponents of tyranny are enslaved, imprisoned, tortured or executed, you'll be next on their slave labor list.

Gonzales himself said, "Over the past two and a half years, I have seen tyranny, dishonesty, corruption and depravity of types I never thought possible. I've seen things I didn't know man was capable of. But I will tell you here and now that these things still leave me hopeful."

But he never explains why this gives him reason to hope. The erosion of our rights, freedoms, and economic well beings is slow, steady and subtle. A little bit at a time Corporations take, so little it is difficult to fight back. Then one day you wake up and find yourself living in a totalitarian system with no way out. Its all done for Corporate profits. Nothing much else matters, not even who wins elections.

nutcase.......you have a real future, son,. with the democratic national party.....


you have voiced the class war attacks they are famous for........maybe you can use the above as an audition..........


and the subtle bush is worse than hitler reference.....wow, that was REALLY good.

but you see, we have read all of that tripe before. I respect your concern, but if it was aimed at the correct direction, I might even agree with some of it.........


lets talk about the direction..


who is it that wants the following..


end of the first amendment for radio stations who make money on talk radio.....

end of the 2nd amendment.....

a government which is in control from the time you are born until you die and every moment in between......since they are so much smarter than we are, you know, they know whats best for us, from how much money we make, to any other sort of things.....

and that doesnt even begin to talk about how the left will do anything to keep people from being successfull..

when that oil man makes money.....someone else doesnt and that MAKES THEM FEEL BAD ABOUT THEMSLEVES....

of course never mind that the oil man is responsible for thousands upon thousands of jobs............


What took so long, Jimmy?

So only liberals that make wild exaggerations are subject to criticism?

Just another example of stifiling debate by attacking the messenger instead of addressing the salient points.

What a good little reich winger you are.

Slant Head Hannity must be soooo proud of you. You a big boy in the neocon world now.

Wake up BLT, politics is ALWAYS about money, who gets it and who doesn't. Those without access in an alleged Democracy (which it ain't) have a right to complain and seek redress.

Apparently you can't see my criticisms include the Democratic Party. The difference between a Clinton and Bush is real, but very small. Both dance for the same crooks. Criminals control the world and they are courted by politicians.

Yes, as Industries and Economies evolve, jobs are created. This happens regardless whether the chief is Rockefellar or Joe Schmoe. They deserve little or no credit, since ruthlessness and luck are their most important path to riches.

We should not let one person drain unlimited wealth from public resources. Not in the media, minerals, forests or your taxes. We are entitled to be Governed competently, and Judiciously. That does happen, but it is the exception, not the rule.

Yay Fascism!

Did you see the faces of the students watching? Did they do anything?

No.

That's how Fascism--or Bushism--will prevail.

And with the help of the A-holes who go on and on about Libberuls wanting to control your life, when it's Bush and his (hah) "conservatives" who are actually doing it.

Wow. I'm speechless.

Wow. I'm speechless

So was this kid after they finished tasering him.

So will we all be if the Neo-Con-Artists get their way.

Greg Palast is one of very few credible investigative journalists left in the US and his book "Armed Madhouse" is a good read.

Luff the RT reaction to the news.

OMFG, It's a messenger!

SHOOT!!

Pathetic ass-clowns.

Be Well.

Pallast, Hersh, Roberts, Chomsky are tops.

Agreed.

Cheney is devoid of any humanity.

Agreed again.

Cheney aint really human he's wotcha call a "greed-bot".

A cybernetic robot created in a lab over 50 years ago and roughly modelled off of the old Daleks from Doctor Who only ...you know, more ruthless.

His instruction manual is actually kept in a man sized safe in Cheney's office.

People diss Palast cos they think he's a voice of doom and gloom but in fact Cheney is the real
Voice of Doom.

Be Well.
