Oliver North: Hillary Security Zone Boast Doubtful
NewsMax.com ^ | 11/30/03 | Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff

Posted on 11/29/2003 9:48:41 PM PST by kattracks

A claim that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton ventured beyond Baghdad's security zone on Friday to visit U.S. troops in the combat zone is being challenged by Fox News Channel military reporter Oliver North.

North, who returned from Iraq on Thursday, was filling in for nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity when the topic of Sen. Clinton's Iraq trip came up.

"The media tried like the dickens to make the Hillary visit look like . . . a very courageous thing," the former Marine colonel told a caller.

Noting the claim by Sen. Clinton's press aide that she was "on a visit with a military division outside the security zone," North insisted, "Let me tell you something. Nobody, nobody, nobody, goes around Baghdad outside, quote, the security perimeter."

Based on the dubious account of her spokeswoman, Sen. Clinton was being credited with an act of courage by the European press, whose reporters drew comparisons with President Bush.

Saturday's London Times noted, for instance, "Unlike Bush, who never left the heavily secured military compound at Baghdad International Airport or the company of Americans during his two and a half hour visit, Senator Clinton headed out to meet troops, aid workers and Iraqi politicians."

Agence France Press also gave Clinton credit for the supposedly bold gesture, saying, "Unlike the US president, who never left the main military camp at Baghdad airport during his two-and-a-half hour stay, Clinton left the heavily fortified complex around the palace to go and visit troops."

Don't worry this didn't happen. These people are Communists. Whatever they put in their papers is precisely how it didn't happen. The truth and these people don't get along. This mendacious account is just a tale to fool the fools. Sadly, there are too many fools with Democrat on their voter registration cards.

My friends in Orem are praying she does NOT visit the state (I can't see the 'Toons outside Park City or parts of SLC personally: too many really angry folks down in southern Utah over Bil's land grab). Has first snow hit yet? That was the best time of year (I hate shoveling the stuff or driving on ice but like the dusting of snow)

I always thought that we had 100 Senators since the admission of Alaska, not 50. You know, two Senators per each State, 50 States equals...

OMG! My only defense is that it's after midnight and I really shouldn't FReep while tired. However, they're about as effective as only 50, so...

I wonder if Ollie considered that maybe the military might let Her Heinous out of the security zone in hopes she'd become collateral damage, or something like that...

Lord,

Shulz has passed on to the Heavenly Peanuts patch.

We don't need a replacement for Pigpen.

Would you, please, Lord, remove the creature running around loose with massive amounts of horse biscuits piled all around IT.

Isn't there some dramatic way You could FLUSH IT from the public stage?

An unnamed Freeper wrote this and it perfectly encapsulates what most of us think of her:

Dear Senator:

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Iowa, I'll bet you couldn't pour p!ss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly. You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake? You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill. You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you. You are a disgusting piece of filth, incapable of honor. You are so vile that not even a lawyer would consent to sexual congress with you under any circumstances. Nay, even your right hand shuns such congress with you.

Wish I'd written that but alas, it's from an unnamed Freeper.

Who did not hold back or sugar coat it. Some of the lines are the funniest lines I've ever read.

No, I was on that thread and complimented him extravently and he posted that HE IS NOT the Freeper who wrote that wonderful Hillary put-down. He borrowed it from another Freeper and doesn't know their name.

Sorry I saw it this morning and attributed it to him in an email... oh well
I guess we could just say Ted Nuegent wrote it or maybe Gorge Carlin.

You know...

As an officer in control of security, it would be awfully tempting to let Hillary go off on her own.

"Yes ma'am... go right ahead..."

But most officers are decent, honest Americans who wouldn't allow that to take place. That would mean putting their boys in harm's way!

It didn't happen.

"Your #1124 is one of the funniest things I've ever read. I just read it out loud to my husband and laughed so hard I could hardly breathe.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

HOWEVER, as I mentioned to Vermonter in Post # 1151, I can not take credit for this wonderful piece of writing. (I only wish that I was this creative!)

The truth of the matter is that I stole this some time ago off of FR. I was unsure of the original author. "KEITH IN IOWA" provided a link to a site that may be the original author.

Regardless, thank you for your post! :)

That's okay; everyone was making the same mistake. I just posted his response to me that makes mention of a link that could tell us who wrote it, for those interested.
