Guest MikeSC Report post Posted June 9, 2004 Well, guys like Ted Rall, Jeff Palast, etc. have done what they sought to do. They generated controversy and it'll make them money in the long run. Personally, I'd rather maintain a soul and keep a touch of dignity in pursuit of money --- but hey, if money is their God, then they have can have fun. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2004 Bah. things like Rall just have a hard-on for being an ideologue martyr. I put in a few orders to the Cancer Fairy, and hopefully this little shit will be without a testicle (if he has any to begin with) in about five years. While flipping channels last night I caught him on Hannity & That Other Guy. Man Hannity was ripping him a new one; I was laughing out loud in June of 2004. And on a side note, I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but the last few times I've seen her, I've scoping out Susan Estrich... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hero to all Children Report post Posted June 10, 2004 Jesus Christ I can't stand that Randall guy. It's not that I like Reagan, I think general criticism is perfectly legit. The crispy brown thing may have been a teensy bit over the top but hey .. if that's what he believes he's about right there with the man who runs godhatesfags.org and has a counter going for how many days a gay guy who got killed is in hell already. Which makes both of them rather low. Hurrah! What got me about Randall was this four pannel political comic about the Football player who enlisted as a ranger and died from friendly fire. That was so much bullshit that I am amazed he could fit that much untruth into four pannels. It portrayed the whole armed forces in a bad light. Every single man and woman serving this country was shown as a blood-drinking, civillian-bombing, oil-worshipping monster. And it just isn't like that and I'd like to see people like Randall do that kind of job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cerebus Report post Posted June 10, 2004 Mike is babbling about stuff like this, this, and this. Damnit, you almost made me click on a Democratic Underground link. Sorry Jobber. Certainly, I can understand you, a (usually) clear thinking liberal, being reluctant to read the trash spewing from the mouth of the most worthless scum of your "side", but I visit it from time to time the same reason I watched that Berg video. Sometimes, it is necessary to know what your enemy is capable of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 This is true. I used to regularly visit Lucianne Goldberg's site of a bazillion news links for the amusing right-wing commentary in the reply boxes until the site got loaded up with too many ads. While there's some decent people there (really), it's the far far-right who are a hoot. My favorite replies was one person who said that "Being gay is like being a vampire or something, it's not normal" and another person who replied to a story on worker productivity and spun it to say that black people are lazy. This was the kind of commentary the GOP would rather you forget about, and boy was it entertaining. Most enjoyable moment #3 was being called a "site pest" (aka troll, aka flamebait, aka omg he's not a rightie) for airing a moderate independant position through most of my posts and just generally not being nearly enough of a rabid Republican to please the crowd. This is the site that tells you that "unless the language used is objectionable or incites an extreme response you are free to speak your mind." At least DU supposedly tells Conservatives to get lost in it's rules. =b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cerebus Report post Posted June 10, 2004 And deletes their posts and bans their username and IP address. So much for liberals being open-minded eh? BTW, after Pat Tillman died, there were posts at DU that made Ted Rall's cartoon look like a mournful eulogy in comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling that the bulk of IP addresses at DU can be traced back to UC Berkley (OMGBAGHDADBYTHEBAYLOL2004~!) and the bulk at FR can be traced to Mississippi.
