Hey Hillary, As My Senator, I Must Ask You Which Concerns You MORE?
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 05:41 PM by DistressedAmerican
Hillary,

With your busy schedule, you have to prioritize your efforts.

Since I wonder if you are spending your time on the things that are really important, I would like you to take a look at the following images and think about how you are using your energy these days.

Grand Theft Auto:


Iraq:




Why don't you consider using your time to end this immoral war and stop grand standing on Grand Theft.

I voted for you. You are SUPPOSED to be representing me.

Do your damn job!


Sincerely DA

4. Thanks for the great perspective.
These '08 wannabe's are ALL pissing me off. I'll caucus for the first one who has enough guts to tell the truth. I don't know of one yet who doesn't side step the issue.

8. The "head on the blanket" image, just above the crying child, looks fake.
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 05:12 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli
Just saying... Looks like a rubber mask or something.

I agree with the sentiment of the post though. This sort of Tipper Gore posturing, while the whole country and Constitution are whisked right out from under our feet, is why I have little use for Hilary Clinton as a possible Presidential candidate.

10. That's what it looks like though...
it's real. We get the sanitized version of the war here, so we don't have to see the effects.

14. I work in a field where I have occasion to see people with their head
split open. I've held someone's split open head in my hands before. I'm just saying that that particular image looks fake to me. It looks like a rubber mask that's collapsed in. That's all. I don't have 100 percent confidence that it IS fake because I'm not a forensic photo analyst. Just saying my impression.

I agree with the sentiment of the original post though.

16. As a matter of fact, I worked in a job...
where I reviewed numerous forensic photos, including pictures where people had their head split open and then their bodies sat around for days, weeks, months, etc. They didn't look dissimilar to that picture. It may look like a rubber mask that's collapsed in, because that's what happens. Still, I can't vouch for it's authenticity either. However, I wouldn't doubt if it was real.

22. I Believe It Looks Like That Because It Is Not Fresh. Somewhat Dessicated
is my guess or it would be a lot bloodier. It is a well documnted and real shot though.

25. Yes, it's the complete lack of blood, brains, skull fragments etc.
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 05:58 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli
If a head was bashed or blown open with such violence so as to open up the skin like this, and with essentially the back/top half of the skull missing, it would be massively bloody as well as a lot of blood and brain and bone fragments around.

If this is someone who'd had their brains blown out, and the corpse was subsequently transported to some other area, stored, meticulously cleaned etc. I suppose you could get a result like this. Again, I don't have access to the source or story where you got the photo from, so I don't know what it purports to depict aside from someone's head.

If you read my initial post on this thread, I agree completely with the sentiment behind your post.

We had a bunch of threads on DU questioning various aspects of the Nick Berg video. I just made the comment that this one pic looks kinda fake to me. We don't have to get into some kind of Zapruder (sp?) film discussion about it, we can just agree to disagree. I don't doubt that there are thousands or tens of thousands of instances of civilian carnage from bombs and tank rounds, including many kids. Common sense tells me that. I'm not some kind of troll saying that all evidence of "collateral damage" among Iraqi civilians is fake or whatever, because I don't believe that to be true. :hi:

The victim is one of hundreds left in the streets. Wolves were feeding on the bodies.

21. No, they made a "special effects" plastic head
And put it in the rubble of a bombed family home in Iraq just to make people think that humans had really died there.
You know how tricky those LIBS are.













Of course its a dead child.

I think Amerikans need a steady diet of these and the other horrors of war, so they have a tiny indication of what it is they are so goddamn gung-ho about. :nuke:

Wow.

(And, for the record, I used to like Hillary. But ever since she's had herself therapeutically cloned into Version HRC DLC 2005.1 seemingly using Joe Lieberman's DNA, I've just about had it with her.)

19. She IS doing something about the obscenities coming out of Iraq
by keeping her mouth shut about the Abu Ghraib images, which supposedly SHE has seen, that the the Gov't is defying a Federal court order to relaese---

she's helping make sure we, as Americans, don't have to view more stuff which might make us upstet, or even angry.

Go Gettem, Hillary! You're a true profile in courage.

Which concerns you more: the fact that a video game involves killing cops, or the fact that a video game involves a little hidden nookie scene?

Go find Tipper and sticker some CDs.

34. Ahh, c'mon. Hillary did say it's a "failed insurgency". Be happy!
Now that she's satisfied that the insurgency is a failure, we need those 100,000 more troops to keep sex out of video games.

You dare to question her priorities? I mean, it's like this is about SEX! Not something as trivial as thousands of dead people in a war she voted for.

35. Hey no doubt...
This post should regard any of our politicians, on both sides of the damn aisle. Here they are fighting gay rights, and other meaningless bull crap, while our troops are dying, and rotting in another country. The same thing happens within the native american community as well, they stand up and cry about indian mascots and what nots, yet our nation of indeginous people are starving, alcoholics and what have yous, yet our most outspoken people are fighing the damn braves axe chop, or the Florida St. seminoles..makes no sense.

She wouldn't even sign the Kerry DSM letter. She is no longer a leader (if she ever was). I sure hope my state fields a real progessive next time! I have had it with these DLC repug appeasers.

You either stand for something or you are a politician. She has made it clear over and over that she is the latter!

Hillary is quite a wicked politico a very plastic persona who has, shall we say, blind ambitions.

She has a corrupted heart from way back and her eyes are focused on careerism, it's a disease. She's permanently afflicted.

She is Rethug Lite and always was.

Al the people in Congress that saw the photos and videos that we will never see that kept silent and are still doing so shouldn't be in office. They are doing so as not to disturb the Occupation and Colonization of Iraq.

49. I want to know which members of Congress saw the photos of
children being abused in military prisons in Iraq and said nothing and continue to fund this war. How many read the soldiers' accounts of a little girl under 12 pleading in the night for her brother, and crying: "They've taken my clothes and thrown water on me?"

They are human garbage, IMO, who long ago sold their souls. They are not fit to lead.

I don't know if Hillary was one of them but I will be paying attention and following who did know. How could someone who wrote "It takes a village" look the other way and allow it to continue?

I'm also appalled that the plea of women in Iraq who are being sent back to the dark ages through the proposed constitution are being throughly ignored by Congress.
