The Face of Hate
The Portland, Ore., branch of the Independent Media Center--one of the most virulent Angry Left Web sites around--has a page devoted to the death in combat last week of Pat Tillman, the pro football player turned Army Ranger who died in combat in Afghanistan last week. This is offensive stuff, so you might want to skip it, but we think it's worth shining a light on. The page begins with a Washington Post story about Tillman's death under the headline (Indymedia's, not the Post's) "Dumb Jock Killed in Afghanistan." This is followed by reader comments. A sampling (quoted verbatim except for expletives):

"Tillman chose to go to Afghanistan. He's partially reponsible for the deaths of hundreds, maybe thousands of Afghan civilians. No need to feel sorry for him, other than feeling bad that he was brainwashed into serving as a grunt."


"it's amazing the kind of attention this insignificant incident is going to cause. well, he was rich, white, and an american. 10,000 (brown) iraqis get killed, and it barely merits a mention in the american news. how utterly f---ing sad."


"To be honest I wish I could feel sorry for the guy, but the truth is I really feel nothing at all. To many have died and too much money has flowed into the pockets of ****** Cheney to even worry about it."


"if he 'sacrificed' anything it was his common sense. He had a good American thing going and blew it."
In fairness, not all posters agree. "I'd like to correct the ridiculous headline that preceeds this story," writes one: "Brave American sacrifices friends, family and fortune in defense of his country. Pigs on IndyMedia can now continue to exercise free speech, sacrifice nothing and spew hate."

I wouldn't care which political party these people belonged to, they're a disgrace to all Americans. Unbelievable.

It's really sad how so many people feel that having fame and fortune means so much, and that those are all one should strive for.

Disgusting.

If anyone out there feels the need to once again contradict my feelings don't bother, this is a disgrace and you should know it. I won't comment further.

I try to ignore, the hate spewing garbage rakers, in the psuedo media. Whether they are Liberal, or conservative. The far left, and the far right, are embarassing for both sides. As a conservative, I am appalled by the drug induced rambling of Lush Rimjob. But these guys, are spewing antiAmerican retoric, and should be ashamed. Thank God, most liberals, at least the ones I know, are also appalled.

Whats appaling is the subject title of this post. The attempt to lump all liberals in to this and act like they should be ashamed of being liberals is rediculous.

That's like posting a link to a KKK site and they telling all conservatives they should be ashamed.

What a joke!

This thread's author is doing the equivalent to attributing the acts of Hitler to all Conservatives. After all GW Bush's grandpa was a serious Nazi sympathizer, so aren't all the neo-cons really neo-Nazis at heart?? The title of this thread is and its author is who should hang in shame....
But as long as this kind of assertion and crap is smeared to all liberals I will continue to attribute this slime to every Bush supporting neo-con artist ditto head jerks like those who start threads like this. Its truly a deep and serious mental illness and I think this thread's author needs professional help...

By the way ... As a socially liberal (live and let live) kind of guy, I deeply disagree with the position that the site that Robby refers too. I'm not hanging my head in shame. I take major pride in my positions. My international politics is centrist. I believe in maintaining strength in our international relationships both militarily and diplomatically (I believe Bush has weakened us significantly in both areas). My economics is fiscally conservative. (most conservatives think Bush is fiscally insane). And again I just don't appreciate such extreme stands being atributed to all liberals, just like you wouldn't appreciate such extremist stands like those of Neo-Nazis, KKK and other fascist radio and web ranters to your positions.

I thought this thread's author made some pretty good points? It may surprise you to know that I am not a strong supporter of many of the President's fiscal policies either... But I believe, Kerry will spend more. Bush is a Republicrat. He attempts to co-opt the policies of the left to gain votes from the left/center. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before we all hear that sad wet swirling sound... All we can do is hope to delay it. And yes, the folks who posted that crap are liberals, like it or not comrade...

Just shining the light of truth DB, just shining the light of truth... That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and these guys are neo-libs. They are an embarasment, and I'm confident they will vote for Kerry in the fall...

well, again, i'm a liberal, and the comments posted there have NOTHING WHATSOEVER in common with my views OR the views of any other liberals i know, talk with and hang out with (most of whom, btw, are also veterans).

libs? no. these folks are not liberals. i prefer to call them the S*** Horking Extreme Left Fringe: the SHELF. the bottom SHELF at that.

but i'll go with "new-lib" if that's what it is to be to be a far left, crap for brains, disrespectful, trash talking, anti-everything/pro-nothing, treacherous, hate-filled, smack spiking, garbage spewing waste of a heartbeat!

Neo-lib? I've not heard this term before.

Neo-conservatives call themselves neo-cons and started the term. Are there Neo-liberals calling themselves neo-liberals now too?

Tony, we can agree that there are neo-cons and neo-libs. The later posted the crap I put up. I profess to be neither; I certainly don't associate you with either. Glad to hear people can meet in the middle...

Neo-lib... Never heard the term outside of Robby's creative mind...

Neo-con is a communly used term.

Since Neo-lib is really undefined except by right wing wackos on this board... Id like to suggest a more accurate definition.... Neo-lib - Former centrists and conservatives who have been so appalled at the policies of Geogre Bush and his cronies that they becoming new supporters of policies that neo-cons oppose. Neo-cons could label such a person as newly liberal (no longer conservative in their neo-con eyes).... hence "Neo-lib".

Doesn't that make a lot more sense.

And of course the artistic neo-libs we can refer to as the Neo-lib artists

Just like the Neo-con artists

DB

PS... Nice try Robby
