62. No 'we' do not 'have that information'. Some of us do but if we all had it the War Criminals would

Jun 2014

not be on the Corporate Media offering their 'sage' advice on what to do about Iraq and being treated as if they were Elder States men and women. They would be sitting in prison where they belong.

The very fact that they are still sought out for advice on the very country, the major scene of their crimes demonstrates that we cannot hear enough, from wherever it comes from, of their crimes so that hopefully on day WE will ALL have the information necessary to begin the prosecutions that are long overdue.

But we are nowhere near the point where 'we' have that information.

Thanks to the Rude Pundit among others, Code Pink eg, at least some small voices are still yelling as loud as they can over the noise machine that continues to treat them with the utmost respect.

if the jury did not agree, there would be no hide. if you take your chances here with homophobic bettyellen Jun 2014 #156

Unfortunately, juries everywhere are notorious for making big mistakes and missing the point... Surya Gayatri Jun 2014 #158

no, I think they go it right. it wasn't satire of bigotry- it was using bigoted words in a rant. bettyellen Jun 2014 #161

So did you alert on meegbear's op? Warren Stupidity Jun 2014 #187

nope. I actually didn't see it, and probably would not have if it was clearly a quote from RP.... bettyellen Jun 2014 #188

That hide yesterday was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen on DU corkhead Jun 2014 #11

If it was censored, you wouldn't have been able to read it. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #28

But if you can't respond to an OP or kick it, it sinks quickly out of sight. Gidney N Cloyd Jun 2014 #45

As amusing as RP posts can be Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #49

well, someone could always post it again fishwax Jun 2014 #97

I read it before the hide and once it was, the whole thread was disappeared from the Greatest Page corkhead Jun 2014 #48

Actually meegbear's OP was hidden thus the thread was locked. riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #50

Tell it, corkhead. "No business censoring" just about covers it. Surya Gayatri Jun 2014 #155

But he mocked those who agreed with the hide as "delicates flowers" aikoaiko Jun 2014 #12

oops, a bit hypocritical, that. bettyellen Jun 2014 #21

Have there been alerts on the threads that criticize his language? riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #32

there was a lot of venom directed toward those merely voicing their opinions.... bettyellen Jun 2014 #46

I don't agree with telling anyone to STFU but that's different than what happened to meegbear's OP riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #57

meh. I don't get that a hide is the end of the world like some people do. I've met Meeg, and bettyellen Jun 2014 #60

You do know that you get banned from DU for hidden posts right? riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #92

And Meeg is a grownup who knows this is a moderated site. Not sure what the problem is. bettyellen Jun 2014 #118

He was critiqued, he called DU members names. aikoaiko Jun 2014 #133

The Rude Pundit should probably thank the alerter and 4 jurors. aikoaiko Jun 2014 #134

He called them delicate flowers LadyHawkAZ Jun 2014 #139

The main critics are not calling him a homophobe or bigot aikoaiko Jun 2014 #170

No, he was CENSORED. Warpy Jun 2014 #178
