In Today's Tequila Treehouse...

I  called up Condi Rice.    I had an appointment the next day, on 9/11, and on    her schedule, it says "See Dana Rohrabacher to    be warned about impending terrorist attack."    And if I could figure it out, why couldn't the CIA    figure it out?  I knew it was going to happen.     -- Dana Rohrabacher,           Attribution

 Quotes

"The right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican
  National Committee. We have an ideological press that's interested in the election
  of Republicans, and a mainstream press that's interested in the bottom line.
 Therefore, we don't have a vigilant, independent press whose interest is the American people."

  MoveOn.org to Professional Democratic Party Losers:
"We bought it, we own it, we're going to take it back."

  Excerpt:
"For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists
 than they are to the Democratic base," said the e-mail from MoveOn PAC's Eli Pariser. "But we can't
 afford four more years of leadership by a consulting class of professional election losers."

 Under McAuliffe's leadership, the message said, the party coddled the same corporate donors that
 fund Republicans to bring in money at the expense of vision and integrity.

"In the last year, grass-roots contributors like us gave more than $300 million to Kerry and the DNC,
 and proved that the party doesn't need corporate cash to be competitive.  Now it's our party:
 we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back."
 

 The Democrats are addicted to losing - they don't want to win.
 I can tell because they refuse to try.

 Left radio dude Ed Shultz was appaled that  moveon.org  would show such a lack of respect.
 Me?  I was happy to see somebody show a trace of a spine. Wasn't it my idea, about three
 weeks ago, to just "roll over" the Democrats and take their party away from them?
 If moveon.org  can take over the party, they should.

 moveon.org may not be the answer, but anything is better than the scared bunnies we have now.

 Cleveland Paper Cites Voter Problems
  Thousands voted for the wrong candidate - again

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 A polling place that served two adjoining precincts counted hundreds of votes for fringe
 presidential candidates Nov. 2, apparently because poll workers didn't instruct voters to
 use only the machines for their precinct, a newspaper reported Friday.

 The Cleveland Plain Dealer's review of voting patterns in Cuyahoga County showed that
 many of the approximately 1,000 voters in the two precincts cast ballots just steps away
 at machines meant for the other precinct.

"There was no distinction between precincts," said an observer for the Dems who spent
 Election Day at the voting place, Benedictine High School. "Voters were being told to
 go to any machine that was open."
 

 Why didn't the Democrats look into this a year ago?
 Why wait until after you get shot to think about a bulletproof vest?

 Believe it or not, CNN queried yesterday:
"Was it wrong for a soldier to ask Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld a reporter's question?"

 Maybe CNN is pissed that a mere soldier broke the big story of the day.
  Maybe they don't like being one-upped. Not that they didn't have the chance...

 I guess the part of this question CNN let remain unasked is:

"Is it MORE wrong that an American soldier HAD to ask Don Rumsfeld a 'reporters question'
 since no so-called REPORTERS would do it a thousand dead bodies into this war?!?!?"

 CNN, you should be ashamed. How ironic you would ask such a question. You suck. Bigtime.
 Sleep well, "reporters". I doubt that this should wake you up.

 If Clinton had sent 1280 soldiers to their graves for a war he lied to get us into,
 the GOP would have impeached him by now and the Democrats would've voted with them.

 Joe Biden became the first to declare his 2008 intentions, if not his candidacy,
 in what may well turn into a stampede of hopefuls in both parties.

"Are you going to run this time?" the Ghost of Cocaine Past asked him on Imus in the Morning.

"Well, I'm going to proceed as if I'm going to run," Biden said. He said he would make a "hard"
 decision in two years, based on whether he thinks the country is ready for him and his ideas.
 "I don't want to do this for the exercise," he said.
 

 Already, he sounds like a clone of Gore and Kerry.
 This is the same old tired losing attitude we;ve lost with the last two races.
 This is what  moveon.org  wants to get rid of, and I agree.

 Hey Joe, tell us how you'll work hard for us.
 Hey Joe, tell us how you'll leave no stone unturned.

 Subject: shooting civilians

 Bart,

 Oh my! I hope that recently honourably discharged Staff Sargent Jimmy Massey does not intend
 to run for political office anytime soon. In your comments section he stated, he had seen troops
 shooting civilians at road blocks and in the street....Baghdad.  In the story from the Independent
 the on-line edition reported there was this code of silence in the ranks, similar to that found in
 organised crime gangs, that prevented troops from speaking about it.

 So we now have evidence that atrocities have occured in Iraq, and if Jimmy Massey has higher
 ambitions and becomes the nominee of a party for President, one could see the HumVee Veterans
 (aka SwiftBoat Veterans) attacking him and saying none of this occured. Then again maybe Jimmy
 Massey would be the type person that took no s*** and fought back and went for the damn jugular.

 Bart, as this year slowly comes to an end I tip my hat to you Sir for the way you have stayed the course
 and spoke the truth about Democrats, Republicans, Bush, Kerry, Congress, and I look forward to 2005
 as you keep the hammer pounding.

 Your friend, the last known liberal in Miss.

 Subject: BCR Show 60 feedback from a pillar

 Well, listening to show 61 (and the shows are real good BTW),
 I am going to disagree about the soldier incident (although it seems like old news now).

 I'm sorry, Bart, but you don't shoot someone lying on the ground groaning.

 But John, what if that's a healthy soldier, lying there groaning, waiting for enough
 soldiers to approach so he can detonate his explosives and kill 5-10 Americans?
 

 Certainly not before you figure out what is going on.
 The video does not show any possibility of danger at all.
 The soldier just shoots him. I'm sorry, that is murder.

 That's what makes it an impossible situation.
 There's no good answer, the only answers are "very bad" and "dying."
 When given those choices, I understand why the soldier picks "very bad."
 

 Remember, we invaded them, not vive-versa.  The burden of proof is always on the occupier.
 Frankly, they (the U.S. soldiers) did not HAVE to be there.  They could have deserted or
 refused to serve--i.e. they had a CHOICE,  even if it ain't a great one.

 Good point, but desertion can get you killed - unless your name is George W Bush.
 Remember Eddie Slovik?
 

 I have a lot of respect for those who serve in the military,  as I do for cops and firemen and so on.
 But that is NOT an excuse for abuse, or for some idiotic sense of blind loyalty.

 True, but once you're on the battlefield, you could get your squad or platoon killed
 if you desert when your buddies are counting on you to do your job.  If you're going to desert,
 do it stateside so your squad isn't left short-handed when the bullets and body parts start flying.
 

 And the guys who are just trying to do the best job possible should be even MORE pissed
 than anyone else, because every time a moron shoots off his gun and kills people gratuitously,
 it makes it that much worse for those who are trying to do an honest job.

 John
 

 John, you make good points, but logic and fairness and common sense have no place in war.
 The two sides commit atriocities against each other until one side dies or surrenders.
 That's why America shouldn't go to war because a crazy Monkey wanted to steal some oil.

 I appreciate your years of support, too.
 Thanks for debating your point like an intelligent person.

 He lost his arm and his paycheck in Iraq

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 He lost his arm serving his country in Iraq. Now this wounded soldier is being discharged
 from his company in Fort Hood, Texas, without enough gas money to get home.  In fact,
 the Army says Spc. Robert Loria owes it $2,000, so they confiscated his last paycheck.

"There's people in my unit right now - one of my team leaders over in Iraq with me, is doing
   everything he can to help me .... but it's looking bleak," Loria said by telephone from Fort Hood.
"It's coming up on Christmas and I have no way of getting home."
 

 Excuse me, can someone direct me to the U.S. Army recruiting center?
 I'd like to lose an arm helping Bush rape a third world country, and then
 I want to have the Army take my last check and kick me out onto the streets
 of f-ing Texas, no less, so I can't get home for in time for Christmas.

 Dude, you totally went about this in the wrong way.

You didn't mention which cartoon was yours, ...so I can't stop making you angry.
I went to your webpage and didn't see any recent toons that I've used.
Why in the world do you not sign your work? People can't give your credit even if they want to.
You opened with a double negative and a chip on your shoulder - that's a hueueueuge mistake.
    Think how different the world would be if angry people started by saying,
   "Thanks for using my cartoon, I'm flattered that you like it enough to use,
    but could credit my site for it so I can get more hits?"
    That's how you make friends and get more hits so people will notice your talent.

 And what about you?  You might easily be accused of the same Al Jazeera bias.
 I don't see the beheading on your site near as much as I see pictures of Abu Gahraib and murdered Iraqi civilians.

 George,

If I was the primary source of info for millions of potential "suiciders" I would publish differently.
If the Giggling Murder threatened to send the USAF to stop me, I would be damn hard to find.
America has lost its reputation. Bush has made us The Goon States of Death, and since we've
    killed up to 120,000 civilians, blowing up one more building would hardly put us in a darker light.

 Reminder:

 The issue is not Bush and Rummy sending 1280 soldiers to their death to save money on armor.
 That's not the issue - so stop lying to yourselves and focus on what's important.

 The issue is the coaching the soldier got from the liberal-elite media reporter, because Rush must think
 soldiers are too stupid to realize they need protection from RPG and land mines with a liberal helping.

 Subject: the armor question

 Limbaugh is saying the soldier was "coached" by the liberal media as part of a ploy crafted by the liberal media
 to make the administration look bad. If this is so than one would have to suppose the liberal media "coached"
 the rest of the troops in the room when they whooped it up after the question was asked.
 Or perhaps he is implying that the evil liberal media has infiltrated our military and now controls their thoughts.
 If not, then what Rush must be implying is that our military men are incapable of forming thoughts and questions on their own.

 Nice talk coming from someone who claims to be setting an example for what a real American should be like.
 Or is the paranoia displayed in the first claim just a side affect from extensive heroin abuse?
 Either way Limbaugh taked himself into a box from which there is no escape.
 What an idiot.

 Subject: Have you no decency?

 Bart,

 Man did you push the envelope in BCR Show 61 - section 2.
 Do you have any subscribers left???

 Yes, but I lose some every time I hit "send" on an issue or a radio show.
 As stated in the show, I didn't say any of that to shock or to generate "ratings,".
 but sometimes things need to be said when nobody else is saying them.
 

 I'm still with you because just perhaps the election played with your sanity as it did mine.
 But to condone the barbaric behavior at the Pacer/Pistons game...

 I'm not printing your name because I need to get a little rough.
 I think it's cheating to attack my position without challenging my reasons.

 If a drunken lout is permitted to scream, "Dumb nigger, can't you make a basket?"
 again and again and again and again to a sweaty, worked-up seven-foot athlete in public,
 and he does this because he knows a player CAN NOT come after him for any reason, you have
 a situation that's just begging for violence and that won't work.
 

 -to minimize the pain of Lacy Peterson's mother, wishing to deny her - her day in court...

 My problem is not with Laci Peterson's mom - it's with victim impact statements, and that subject
 only comes up when an emotional family member is describing, "the greatest person in the world,"
 and I say that exaggerated hyperbole doesn't belong in a life & death court room decision.

 Of course the family of the victim is in great pain.
 Of course they're devastated by her loss, so why take five days to tell us?

 As I said in the rant, if Laci was a mean, lazy, ugly woman whose family disliked her,
 that would've made Scott's crime much less heinous?  ...we can't go there, can we?
 Should there be a less severe penalty for killing the ugly than the pretty?
 I say, "No" to that, and I expect people to agree.
 

 to support the cold blooded murder of an unarmed wounded Iraqi - an action I thought only
 the likes of Bill O'Reilly could defend

 Objection!
 It's real easy to watch a video and say, "*I* would've known better" than the soldier at war.

 If you were in Iraq, maybe your impressive ESP would allow you to divine which locals
 were harmless and which were about to ambush you?  That's poppycock
 I've never been to war,  but it's my best guess that a large part of a soldier's day involves a lot of
"me or him, who's gonna die today?"  If you have a cure for that, the Pentagon would pay for it.
 

 -all prove to me that you greatly overestimate your IQ and are out to sabotage yourself.
 (withheld)

 My IQ is 64, so I can't be overestimating too much and I'm not looking to sabotage anything.
 I'm discussing some major issues of the day, looking for some intelligent feedback.

 Instead of barking your disbelief, why not address what I said and my reasons?

Should drunken little pricks be allowed to hurl racial taunts (and beer) at 7 foot black men with impunity?
Should it be a bigger crime to murder the pretty than the plain?
Polite and trusting soldiers put in impossible, no-win situations die fast, so they are forced to resort to extreme
   measures to stay alive.  It's a fact of life in a dog-eat-dog war. That's another reason why war is to be avoided.
