5. DUers.

They gave the URL and read a couple of posts about
"how does this help someone who lost their job, who
can't afford health insurance".

11. It's true...The capture of Saddam will have little impact on our lives...
...just like his 30 year rule in Iraq had little impact on the lives of most Americans.

Saddam being captured is not going bring health insurance to the 43 million who don't have it.
Saddam being captured is not going to delay or forgive the forclosures many Americans are facing.
Saddam being captured is not going to have any impact on al Qaida since there were no ties to begin with.
Saddam being captured is not going to cause high tech firms and manufactures who have outsourced their jobs to third world labor to bring those jobs back to America.
Saddam being captured is not going to cure those with chronic illness.
Saddam being captured is not going give homes to the millions of homeless Americans.
Saddam being captured is not going to fill one hungry belly in the heart of America that is going to bed without food this night.
Saddam being captured is not going to pay off the massive debt we have incurred in attacking Iraq.

Hell, Saddam being captured is not necessarily going to bring our troops home any faster.


In the overall scheme of things, the capture of a 77 year old man who was ousted from power in March of this year is going to have negligable impact on the lives on anyone in this part of the world.

30. Well it's a valid question and the truth is. it doesn't help them.
We will get more members out of this so we get more people involved in the election.

And if it brings more freeper types the mods will delete their posts. Win/win for us

Screw Chear Channel
They're yanking local news coverage in their local areas to save a few bucks as we speak.

When I move next week, I'm going to toss out my TV in favor of a Shortwave Reciever and DSL.

Kind of transparent too... Like the chimp, their limited vocabulary and inability to express a coherent thought gives them away rather rapidly.

unless they don't find us marginal, fringe and useless?

25. Yes, it's important we pretend those links didn't happen!
We wouldn't want to face the political reality that audiences far larger than DU are snatching horrible quotes from here that that totally contrary to public sentiment and making us look like jaded, churlish elitists. Let's keep pretending we're in our own safe, little world; ummm....this sand is nice and warm, let's stick our heads in it until media powerhouses like the Wall Street Journal and Clear Channel just go away and leave us alone. Of course, with an election coming up, they're not going to do that for a while, but it too much troublre to remember that, every day, they have the power to quote us any way they like.

32. Good
Let them quote me:

Bush is a war criminal and should be in the Hague with Saddam because his family financed Hitler, profitted from the Holocaust, Bush got the profits and his family is in business with Osama Bin Laden and the media is OWNED and Operated by corporate fascists who are NO BETTER than the propagandists of the third reich.

Kiss my ass. 450 Americans DEAD is NOT WORTH IT!!!

Although I am sure Cheney, Halliburton, Carlyle and Bechtel are PLEASED AS PUNCH with the price AMERICA has PAID for these ghouls

34. I checked out the WSJ Online comments about Buzz and DU. Didn't bother
me considering that the whole column was right wing drivel. If we wrote the "purest prose" they would find something to carp about. They are scared as hell that a "New Left" is popping up and becoming organized since they've had their Religious Fundies of the Right and the PNAC'er doing their dirty work for so long.

They wouldn't mention us if we weren't important. However it means that DU will be filled with skilled "operators" from now on. It won't be the same as it was, but the information we still manage to link to here, will be worth it for the long haul. The commeraderie, won't be the same as when it was "a little band of like folk" trying to sort out what had happened to our Party in "Selection 2000." :-(

Yeah I still dare these folks to grab the post in the
lounge about the DUer who found and returned a wallet
with 340 dollars in it and read that one on the air .

or how about our adopted Soldier efforts .

Oh Yeah , they are not interested in actually
educating their listeners.

26. Ask yourself this question...
..why do the freepers need to discredit us?

Because we're a threat to them...

if we weren't they'd just leave us alone. Keep posting, boys and girls, and remember to do the thing they fear most...vote!

27. ClearChannel can kiss my progressive derriere
These are the same jerks who organized "support the troops" demonstations, which had less to do with supporting the troops than with supporting the Frat Boy.

ClearChannel owes its success to the deregulation of the communications industry. It is not the product of any positive force in America, nor does it promote anything positive. It is the radio station with the bland, cookie-cutter format that promotes a homogenous and mindless America.

It is surprising that these jackasses would even mention DU. Normally, the yuppie fascist method of dealing with dissent is to ignore it and hide it. Maybe we're doing something right here.

Edited on Sun Dec-14-03 08:54 PM by Military Brat
I do believe it's Smear Channel, at least if we're going to keep telling it like it is.

And now my message to any little freeper who happens to be trolling in the last frontier of freedom known as DU, where we boldly go where freepers dare to tread, witness my epitaph for Saddam:

:nopity:

Clear Channel,what a bunch of chicken shits. They take their DJ's who for the most part make about $5.00 per hour and have them pimp for the Repig way of life or lose your job.

I'd quit their ass for Walmart if I was forced to pimp for Chimpboy and his Nazi's

seventhson (1000+ posts) Sun Dec-14-03 09:09 PM

I have to say it one more time:


Let them quote me:

Bush is a war criminal and should be in the Hague with Saddam because his family financed Hitler, profitted from the Holocaust, Bush got the profits and his family is in business with Osama Bin Laden and the media is OWNED and Operated by corporate fascists who are NO BETTER than the propagandists of the third reich. THAT is the historical record of the Bush family and the media is afraid America will find out.

Kiss my ass. 450 Americans DEAD is NOT WORTH IT!!!

41. They hate us becuase...
of what we did to their sweetheart deal with Colin's son and the FCC...remember, this site and others, in conjunction with MoveOn handed them their asses...

Of course they fear us....they only response they can get from their sheeple is parroting...whereas we produce free thought, resistance and swift retribution based upon the simple fact of having the truth on our side...

Oh yeah, they hate the fact that we actually spread the truth...and put the lie to their nonsense...

Fight on brothers and sisters....fight on...

:evilgrin:

Me thinks they doth protest too much...
