Don't Support Our Troops - (Ted Rall Alert - Barf Assumed)

Syndicated Column ^ | 3/11/03 | Ted Rall (Barf Alert Assumed)

Let's wear it out, ok?

[ohioman]

The only thing I would admire about Rall is if I heard that he was pushing up daisies.

We find ourselves facing the paradox of the "good German" of the '30s.

If Ted means himself by "we" then he's right - he finds himself in the position of the moral equivalency buffs in WWII that thought Hitler and FDR were just as bad as one another and that there was nothing untoward going on in Belsen-Bergen and Auschwitz - just Allied propaganda. When the time comes for the revelation of just how evil Saddam's fascists were Rall will be claiming it was somebody else's fault for leaving him in office so long.

Rall will be claiming it was somebody else's fault for leaving him in office so long.

...Besides, nobody ever told him all of these things about Saddam...

"Jimmy is advocating that America disarm. Apparently, he does not realize that the nation already had a program of disarmament. It was called The Clinton Administration. It is the measure of Carter’s gullibility that Satan means well. We can humor him about that. He also naively believes that things like treason and pregnancy are always unintentional. This was after innumerable state dinners at which he thought he heard Clinton raise his glass and offer the toast, ”Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s wishing ... aid and comfort (( link )) --- to the enemy.”

You put a Tom "I kiss commies and dictators butts and love the socialist left" Hanks photo up on FR? Are you nuts??????

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Good idea with the posters but why didnt you use real soldiers instead of hollyweird heads?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

It must have been a spur of the momment thing .... maybe?

[Paulus Invictus]

The RATS went too far and waited too long into their anti-American rants and are trying to soften it by telling us they are for the "troops" Hogwash! They wanted Bush to fail at the UN, they want Bush to fail in the war against terrorism , against Iraq and certainly are opposed to Bush-lead economic recovery. This negative position was their only hope and we must not let them forget their evil stance when voting time comes around in 2004. Start grass roots efforts now to make the issues clear to voters.

[Beck_isright]

LOL, a definite oversight. Since this is a new war, should I go with pretzels and beer or bourbon and nachos for the first evening? It's off subject I know, but I thought I would solicit opinions.

[Paulus Invictus]

Sad that Tom Hanks is a clintinoid RAT and anti-American hollyweird.

[DoughtyOne]

Sorry folks, not everyone enters every thread like you do. I've been getting twenty to one positive remarks.

[DoughtyOne]

Well guys, when I make comments on the forum that we should boycott movies by these guys, I'm shouted down at 99 to 1. Can't have it both ways.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

[ladyinred]

I disagree with the idea that Saddam being a very bad man isn't justification for this war. Some very bad men did some horrendous things to us on Sept 11th. Yes, he has ignored the cease fire agreement, but he is also a terrorist, and we are at war against terrorists.

[aculeus]

Ted Rall "fans" assemble here.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Lol not by me i like most of your stuff that one just caught me off guard

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

I disagree with the idea that Saddam being a very bad man

HMMMM so what do you call ripping out tongues rape rooms killing children and parents in front of each other and mass killings torture chambers and tire necklaces i guess these are things that really GOOD men do?

[Wavyhill]

What you miss is that, even though he claims the USA is as evil as Nazi Germany, he proves himself a vile liar by remaining in this great nation. He is a parasite. A copy of this should be sent to all Marines who come home from the war on leave, along with his home address.

[Dimensio]

Some very bad men did some horrendous things to us on Sept 11th.

In which case justification for an attack against them would be their horrendous thing, not the fact that they were "bad men".

Yes, he has ignored the cease fire agreement, but he is also a terrorist, and we are at war against terrorists.

Which only means something if you can demonstrate that he is posing an active threat against the US or its allies (not that I'm saying that this isn't the case).
