Do No Evil – In the immortal words of Ted Rall, "HEY, SOLDIERS: QUIT WHINING! If not for you, there wouldn't be a war in the first place."
Ted Rall is a carton of sludge that has long passed its expiration date. He's a shifty cheap shot artist who likes to bring up the past like it's meaningful. He likes to point out in his infinite wisdom that he was always against the war.
Well, Teddy, the steak has been seasoned and placed in the oven, yet you still want to argue about the cut.
It's fun to use an emotional argument about some soldiers lives, but Ted seems to be sorely lacking in ideas about what we are to do about the inevitable fallout if just withdraw as fast as possible, which will result in even greater grief for soldiers and the country.
Ted "Let It Flow" Rall, statesman.
I'm throughly impressed and throughly regular after cosuming his tripe.
I have to admit, I really dislike Ted Rall. I actually was compelled to send him a note outlining my disgust of his Condi Rice cartoon a couple years back. He also had one about Pat Tillman, but I think he may have apologized about that one.
He's a jerk. The fact that he's using the "72%" Zogby poll is telling...that poll was discredited. Hey, I think Hyperbola here at Propeller still likes that poll, too...
Me too!
Hes a jerk.
Just liek all them political pundits who manipulate mankinds vexin interest in TV personalities and radio blow-hards!!
I guess we just liek to be entertained. Dont matter none if it raises our conscoiusness.
In fact, its kinda kurious bout us Christian Conservatives. WE acktually PREFER to have every issued dumbed down fer us!!
Thats why I personally have a Rush Limbaugh bobble head next to a plastic Jesus on my car dashboard.
Yay foer mindless drivel from the numerous right Wing talkin heads all over mainstream media!!!
Horray for Right Wing Media!!!
He doesn't understand the reason the soldiers are there - they only follow orders from civilians. The soldier is not in charge - we and people like this jerk tell them to do what they do. Sure, they volunteered, but apologizing for the actions they take to stay alive is completely out of line...
The Gestapo Inheritance
'We do not torture': Groans from the CIA's black sites beg to differ
... What has recentlyâ;;and startlinglyâ;;been revealed are the eerie parallels between these CIA "enhanced interrogation techniques" and the verschärfte vernehmung (German for "enhanced interrogation") methods of persuasion used by the Gestapo....
... the parallels between our current "enhanced interrogation techniques" and the Gestapo's have been researched and documented by the widely published libertarian Andrew Sullivan (andrewsul... as well as by international human-rights lawyer Scott Horton...
.. He notes that the German lexicon of torture began in 1937, to be used "only on Communists, Marxists, members of the Bible-researcher sect, saboteurs, terrorists, members of the resistance . . . asocial persons, Polish or Soviet persons who refuse to work, or idlers." ...
cont'd
...Previous Nazi records actually show that "the use of hypothermia and waterboarding (both later authorized by Bush and Rumsfeld) were initially forbidden" by the Nazisâ;;but, Sullivan adds, "historians have found that all the bureaucratic restrictions were eventually broken or abridged. Once you start torturing, it has a life of its own."
..In 1948, Sullivan reports, there was a U.S.-run war-crimes trial in Norway prosecuting Nazis convicted of "enhanced interrogation techniques" in the Second World War. ... At the Norwegian war-crimes trial, "The Nazi defense of the [enhanced] techniques is almost verbatim that of the Bush administration: 'The victims were not in uniform . . . and the acts of torture in no case resulted in death.'" (the Bush position in the 2002 Justice Department "torture memos")...
cont'd
... "The Court came to the conclusion that such acts, even though they were committed with the connivances of superiors in rank, or even on their orders, must be regarded and punished as serious war crimes."
Another Rall-boy. The amount of hate required to compared our troops to the Gestapo is truly fascistic.
Your trouble bobo is that you haven't been in america long enough to know about american democracy. You second generation immigrants from eastern european racism and totalitarianism are on the wrong side of history.
Could Bush Be Prosecuted for War Crimes?
A Nuremberg chief prosecutor says there is a case for trying Bush for the 'supreme crime against humanity, an illegal war of aggression against a sovereign nation.'...
Just another douchebag jumping on the jack murtha hate the troops band wagon. Which is where you land after falling off the ted kennedy wagon.
Bush and Cheney hate the troops more than anyone. They are the ones who send them into battle without the equipment that they so desperately need. They are also the ones who are keeping them there longer.
If that isn't hate, I don't know what is.

Ted Rall unashamedly shows how the Left really feels about support out troops.
well per our conversation on the other board.. he to is an A$$HOLE....
To quote a pundit right here on Propeller - commonly known as Neo-Con Central - this fellow, BoBo in Texas encapsulated his thoughts in a similar sityation.
"It's called the 1st Amendment."
Just as it is our Neo-Conservative 1st amendment right under the Constitution to try to SHUT UP ALL THEM LEFTIES WE HATE!!
Course, when we try to do it through threats of violence - which is the way we Christian Conservatives prefer - that don't seem to be covered by the 1st Amendment.
BUT WEARE WORKIN ON IT!!!
Well Darth, Rall is only wrong in that he doesn't recognize that a majority of our troops are AGAINST bushies silly war and that many of them fight against it.
Those who bray loudly while hiding behind "support the troops" are the biggest cowards and traitors in america.
Iraq Veterans Against the War
IVAW to Show Military Opposition to the Iraq War on October 27
If you are a soldier or veteran who has served on active duty or in the Reserves or National Guard
since 9/11, and you are frustrated and angry with the way our military has been used and abused to wage an occupation against the people of Iraq, then know that you are not alone. On October 27th, veterans, soldiers, and citizens will gather in 11 cities around this country in a national expression of the breadth and depth of antiwar sentiment in this nation....

Self-delusion.
Goopster, you need to quit mixing the painkillers with the Old Milwaukee after work. It clouds your otherwise questionable judgement.
That said, you seem to be the only one calling for censorship of Rall. I seek only to expose, mock and, if possible embarass him.
I think that you are mistakenly assigning threats of violence with the purpose of silencing critics to the Christian Conservatives. That's not their style. That's the specialty of your Muslim friends from The Religion of Peace.
bobo:
i agree that his guy "rall" is a turd. but, to classify all lefties as troop haters and non supporters, is crap as well.
just like saying all christian conservatives are war mongering killers.
when will people see this isn't all left against all right?
I never said that and certainly don't believe it because it's obviously not true.
What's the difference between him and Anne Coulter? They both spout nonsense to try and get talked about. Same thing.
It's true that they both spout nonsense, but one marked difference between them is that Ted Rall has apologized for his moronic comments before.
I have yet to see an apology from Coulter, but I'm not holding my breath.
bobo:
look at your first post. and i quote.
"Ted Rall unashamedly shows how the Left really feels about support out troops."
thaw has a good point bo.
Perhaps I should have said the Hard Left.
Perhaps you shouldn't have said anything at all.
It's pretty clear from your comments that you are trying to smear a group of people for actions of one individual.
And you are calling Rall a bigot? Maybe you should look in the mirror?
The Hard Left most certainly doesn't support the troops and indeed Ted Rall is a bigot.
Thanks for asking.
No, actually, you weren't seeking "only to expose, mock and, if possible embarass him." You just wanted to call him childish names in a feeble attempt to make yourself feel like a big man.
Do you feel like a big man? You like to put other people down don't you? You wanna steal someones lunch money too? My what a strong argument you propose.
Big strong argument.
Your speaking to power has chastised me so.
bobo, don't you dare suggest that i (a liberal) or any other liberal, except for the idiot who wrote the trash in this article, feels this way about the our military. you seem to want to create enemies where you have none. in doing so, you are merely a pawn of this admin. which seems to already have you by the balls.
I said Left not Liberals. Big difference.
i don't see the distinction. i see con, right and republican used interchangeably and the same with left, liberal and democrat(ic). i've even seen the words communist and fascist used on the two groups. perhaps this is a measured attempt to divide one nation into two. divide and conquer as they say.
hi wollfie, ya flippin' moron.
Perhaps you should look a little harder. There is most certainly a distinction.
bo, i was at least halfway on your side there... didn't you notice... time for both of us to stop being victims of rhetoric.
I believe that is known in legal terminology as "a distinction without a difference."
Only for the uninformed.
or law scholars.
