I Am About To POKE MY FUCKING EYES OUT!! - F*CKING DICKS!!

[matcom]

watching this HORRID CNN "round table"

dickhead stands up in front of the microphone and says something to the effect, "i served in Viet Namn LONGER than 4 1/2 months......"

:grr:

LOOK COCKSUCKER: "W" DIDN'T SERVE A MOTHERFUCKINGDAYINHELL IN VIET NAMN!!!

MOTHERFUCKING DESERTER!!!!!!!

CAN YOU SPELL A.W.O.L.?????????????????????????????????????????

sorry. i'm not sure i can take this shit any longer

i am REALLY SORRY!!!!!!!!!

[mopaul]

1. fuck stupid people

you can take it matcom. if i can take it, you can take it. i want you to take it, and spit it out like me.

[DemWitch]

2. matcom...

Don't hold back, let us know how you REALLY feel :)

[Sugarbleus]

86. LOL...that's what I was gonna say....

Let it all hang out Mat. Holding it in will make ya sick.

Don't poke your eyes out...change the channel. :hug:

[WoodrowFan]

3. Kerry did too..

They ignore the fact that he did his tour on a navy ship offshore and THEN volunteered to serve on a swiftboat. assholes, every last rw one of them!

[sandnsea]

12. I know, damned annoying

What a bunch of sorry asshats.

[VolcanoJen]

32. It shows how pathetic, cynical, and devoid of hope we all are these days.

I watched a veteran at the VFW Convention explain, on ABC World News Tonight, how he found it "incredibly unbelievable" that John Kerry could have achieved "so much" during "three months."

Why would it be in question? Have we lost all hope? Why wouldn't we be so incredibly proud of this young man, to have achieved so much as a soldier in such a short time? Wouldn't that be called heroic and gallant, in any other time, in any other place?

:eyes:

[AwakeAtLast]

4. No need to be sorry!

You are verbalizing (albeit in type) what most of us are thinking. Just about everything I see on any newscast has the same effect on me.

[berner59]

9. who is this repub guy??

yuk... He's so condesending...this is really hard to watch...

[maveric]

5. Was he wounded 3 times in 4,1/2 months? Did he win a Silver

and Bronze medal? Did he do more than one tour of duty in country?
Fuck Him!

[senseandsensibility]

6. I'm smokin too

but for a different reason. Right after the freeper smartass says he served longer than four and a half months, they show Paula "Chucky" whooping it up and clapping and guffawing! She was not even pretending to be a journalist. Funny how she just fell in so naturally with that freeper smartass crap. She was clapping and guffawing at a partisan, slimy question!

[TrustingDog]

85. I have a special dislike for that bitch - Paula 'the chucky' Con.

[Amaya]

7. Turn it off... NOW!

[matcom]

10. I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x(

its like a fucking TRAIN WRECK!!!!

:puke:

[Sparkly]

22. I have the same problem

But I was watching it this morning.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x633843

[Amaya]

34. Filter that shit out!

The media Whores are out in full force. The assault has begun.

Think NOVEMBER!

All is not lost.

[vetwife]

74. Feel Better Every veteran knows that Concurrent Receipt is a Lie

The repug operative LIED though this teeth and every combat vet knows if you sustain 3 wounds you are eligible to go home. The Republican dug his grave on the pension and compensation question right before that guy stepped to the mike and the guy was a plant !
He reaked of a Rove maneauver !

[Cha]

8. Don't Watch! Sweetie!

I don't know how you guys on Reconnaissance can do it!

I've been unplugged from that for 2 years..and my blood pressure has returned to normal.

[DougieZero]

11. WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?

I just saw the same thing a few minutes ago... This fucker stands up with a smirk on his face and goes: "i served longer than 4 1/2 months".... some laughter erupts... HE DID THIS IN FRONT OF THE BUSH GUY!!! THAT WAS THE GROANER OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON.... BUSH DIDN'T EVEN SERVE IN COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!?!? PLEASE TELL ME THESE PEOPLE AREN'T VOTERS!!!

[liberalmuse]

20. I'd pull an Elvis.

He shot up his tv because Robert Goulet was on one time. I'd need an AK47 for this crap. Thank god I got rid of cable and don't own a gun. I think someone in the goddamned media needs to come out and say that Kerry served a full tour before his second tour as a swift boat commander. Goddamned fucking idiots!

[Mr_Lefty]

28. They are digging their own grave

This is the lowest crap I have ever seen. I think they will over play it and it will backfire.

They can't escape their own contradiction "honor our troops and never doubt them or even think about doubting them, and oh yeah- everything JFK did was a lie and was dishonorable."

[sendero]

43. Ohio and North Carolina...

... among others, agree with you :)

[spanone]

13. it's the lowest this country has ever stooped. shame on america.

shame on bush*co

[HollowHead]

14. Not to be judgmental

but that has got to be the worst thread title I have ever seen.

Got my attention, but that's about it.

I didn't read the body of the post.

[buff2]

16. Then why bother to post on this thread?

:eyes:

[HollowHead]

21. Cause it got my attention

in a negative way, and I couldn't believe it was there.

You're probably right about not posting, but I felt that I wanted to get my opinion across, much like the original poster.

America. It's a great thing, ain't it?

[Carni]

44. That you angelwood?

One word for ya...."salads"

[thebigidea]

24. to be judgmental, I guess.

[HollowHead]

29. See #21 response

who is judgmental?

(I'm not looking for an argument. I have a right to say the title of this post offends me. If I was looking for profanity and anger and whatever else was behind that, I would be reading a neocon website.)

[thebigidea]

31. wha? Are you saying we can't be angry or use profanity?

Well, fuck that.

42. Is that a good thing

or a bad thing?

? :)

[davekriss]

78. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Thank you mopaul I needed the lift! :) (Still gigglin' here!!)

[thebigidea]

45. Offensive? Naw. Dumb beyond belief? Sure.

I think its just ridiculous to get upset over some cussin' in reaction to the incredibly cuss-worthy crap that is CNN.

[HollowHead]

37. I'm saying the title of this post is offensive

anyone can say whatever they want.

America. Ain't it great?

[thebigidea]

41. you also seem to imply that anger and profanity are for neocons

Which kinda baffles me.

Then again, William Kristol is known for his constant swearing.

[HollowHead]

46. I didn't mean to imply that

sorry for not being clear enough about it. I probably shouldn't have responded at all. I swear, but it just shocked me to see this in a general politics discussion.

I'll just sit back and read now.

[thebigidea]

48. Well, steer clear of HBO, then.

You might have a heart attack!

54. Far be it from me to kiss up to the immoral Matcom but

that was funny! You are showing your humanity, Mr. Com. That gives us newbies a bit of hope.

[matcom]

56. "immoral" hehe

i am SURE you meant "immorTal"

for, we ALL know I am GOD!!! :eyes:

forgive me if i don't get your "humor"

i COULD be paranoid too you know

[HollowHead]

You have no clue who I am

I have been reading and posting on DU for 2 years. I was forced to assume another moniker for reasons unknown. You have no idea who you are calling a loser.

You are the loser, because you should stay in the lounge where you belong.

[thebigidea]

59. reasons unknown? What does that mean, you were tombstoned?

... and if you've been reading DU for 2 years, geez - you'd think profanity wouldn't cause you to blink by now.

[HollowHead]

63. No

I was written an email from Elad that stated it was a mistake due to a bug.

Next attack?

[matcom]

61. wooooooooooooooooooo

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM!!!!

:eyes:

do i care???

are you SKINNER?????

WOULD i still CARE???????

not likely

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am in AWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT

[HollowHead]

66. You completely missed the point of the reply

The point is (now follow this if you are able) that I have posted here for 2 years and have done so without attacks. Now, being seen as a newbie, I am free game. Take a pot shot and chase the newbie out.

All I did was express my opinion and response that I couldn't believe this thread was in GD.

Have another sarcastic response ready?

[Mr_Lefty]

53. Did you write the book

how to win friends and influence people?

[HollowHead]

60. I am quickly learning how newbies are treated here

if they dare disagree or put forth an opinion that differs from those that are always waiting in the wings to attack.

[thebigidea]

62. how are you a newbie? you said you had another ID

and have been reading for 2 years.

[HollowHead]

68. Try to follow the logic behind this

I am learning how newbies feel, because some believe I am one, and have attacked as though I am a fool; worthy of being treated like shit.

I am not a newbie, but I now know how they feel when they venture into GD.

Does that make sense?

[thebigidea]

70. No, not really. I still would've said the same thing if you had 3208 posts

So if the loss of your other ID was due to a bug, why don't you can the mystery act and just tell us who you were.

[matcom]

71. i will REFRAIN from calling you names

cause THAT is against the "rules"

:D

you make my point

[Skittles]

27. FYI, HH

you are not required to respond to threads whose titles you disapprove of, now lighten the f*** up. WE DEMOCRATS ARE F***ING PISSED AND ARE THROUGH PLAYING THE COURTEOUS CARD.

[Carni]

35. Jeepers! Why don't you start a Prayer thread...

to Rim Job about it,

Or go and "get your daily dose"

[Amaya]

40. Hahahahahha!

Ok then.

[AmerDem]

55. use the ignore button! Do you understand what that is?

or do you need your fucking hand held!

58. Some people here have a penchant for the "look at me!" drama. N/T

73. when matcom speaks.....

[wicket]

75. "HollowHead" eh?

:freak:

[Andromeda]

88. Then ignore it,

nobody is saying you have to read it.

People here on DU are furious with these media scum-suckers and they have a right to vent.

Don't be so judgemental.

[buff2]

15. I turned it off

What else can we expect from the WHORE media? That freakin audience is mostly REPUKES.They are now setting it up for the repuke convention,which we all know bu$h will come out with about a 10 to 20 point lead. I hate those freaking bu$h lickers.

[berner59]

17. Repub just got boo'd....

When he mentioned No Child Left Behind...pretty funny... Best moment in a crappy show...

[Padraig18]

18. Tell us how you REALLY feel, matcom!

I agree with you; that's why no longer watch CNN...

[Skittles]

19. Matcom

last night at work I mentioned that the Iraq soldier casualty count would hit 1000 this month, and my coworkers said, well, that's really not that many, this is a war you know. None of them served one f***ing day in the military. I, too, want to poke my f***ing eyes out. :o

[Zynx]

36. It's actually 7,000 casualties. Close to 1,000 dead.

I hate the media's definition of casualty because they don't include wounded. They are changing our vocabulary without realizing it.

[shraby]

81. Have your co-worker sit down and

write a thousand names. That will jam home the message of how many a thousand are.

[Skittles]

84. the fact they'd accept even one death in this phony sham war

speaks volumes to the amount of rightwing brainwashing going on

[Cheswick2.0]

23. I am watching adorable 20 year olds swim fast in a pool

Then when they are finished they smile and hug each other.
Please let us know if someone says something good.

[marlakay]

25. repub guy is a sleeze

I had to leave the room many times during the show. only can take so much.

[bo44]

26. C'mon Matcom let's put some DUdo on 'em.

Visualize it brother man. Double underhooks, headbutt, leg sweep and then apply some serious ground and pound. Fuck them assholes up. We will put an electoral version of this professional ass whipping down on November 2.

[Poiuyt]

30. We need to keep writing to CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A one day blitz isn't going to change minds over there. We need to keep the pressure on!

57. Do you think CNN stacked the deck?

When choosing the guest that appear in the Zahn round table? i said without a doubt! I'm sure it wasn't completely loaded down but they had just enough to set the tone on Kerry. Like the nitwits coming to the microphone.

65. That was his SECOND tour.........

of duty wasn't it? Right? That usually shuts them up quick! Hope that's the truth I've been telling.

[buycitgo]

79. dopey Tad Devine did the best he could, but a DUer response, as usual,

is better than our dem spokesperson's

AFA the meeting, I watched most of it, and MUTED Tucker Eskew's longwinded, mendacious remarks most of the time, as they often had nothing to do with the subject at hand. I'll even give Eva Zahn some partial credit for cutting him off a few times.

That said, the meeting was instructional for me on three points I can think of, off top:

one) the questions WERE unfairly alotted. They included THREE in a row designed to put dems on the defensive....that Vietnam one, followed by a medical account question (which I could have answered better, like this: those are FINE for reducing your high premiums. They're FINE, until you need to pay for surgery/hospitalization, or something similarly expensive.....my GM was in the hospital in May for ONE day-- angiosplasty in her leg.....the bill was over 23 THOUSAND dollars, just for radiology/surgery!). the third question was that idiotic meme about the high cost of medical malpractice insurance, which Tad blew again, partially, by not saying how SMALL a percentage of health care costs it represents~two percent, and that lowering malpractice judgments has NO effect on premiums. he did mention that the government should crack down on insurance companies, which did garner some applause.

two) pay attention to audience reactions. the two biggest responses occurred at these points, and I think they're critical
the first was when Tad, in answer to why the campaign ads are so negative, said that the Kerry campaign was much LESS so than Bush's, to which the audience started laughing a bit. Then, when he said that they had NEVER seen a negative ad with John Kerry's name/face on it, they broke up in disbelieving laughter. He tried to counter with the fact that the Bushes have spent over a hundred MILLION so far on negatives, but they didn't believe that, either, judging from their reaction. The point I learned from this is that it DOES NOT MATTER who goes negative the most, or earliest. This, supposedly representative audience is too STUPID to tell the difference, so WHY take the high road, or at least refrain from answering back in kind?

the second part of this one involved that scumboat Eskew's defense of *'s supposed Education program. When he blathered on about how great a job he's done in making schools great, the audience BOOED! then jeered, made restive noises til Paula shut em down. It was Hilarious, AND instructive, from the standpoint that the Kerry campaign should be paying attention to this very important campaign issue, and take HEED that they can go negative on this, as the audience reacted VERY strongly to Eskew's BIG LIE. Use what works, boys.

three) it was so important that I forgot. Must've been the need for lots of bucks into memory research

so, I thought, as bad as Zahn can be, and as slanted as the format was, it was actually more useful than one might think, superficially, especially on point of education, negative ads, and, to a lesser degree, health care (but it might have worked out better, if Tad had done a better job nailing that idiotic medical savings BS)

[dweller]

72. what's sad is

after all the divide created by the VietNam war in this country and worldwide, that now when a VVet has come forward to stand up as our leader, and possibly unite and heal and represent,
that there is this division in the ranks.

i can't help thinking that Kerry could help put behind us some of the bitterness that has lasted concerning that era, and bring about some peace and closure. Wishful thinking on my part alas.

i didn't serve a day, i protested the war, not the soldiers. It's time for that battle to end and the healing to begin.
no apologies needed here Matcom.
peace,
dp

[davekriss]

76. I'm with ya'

"sorry. i'm not sure i can take this shit any longer."

I get sick every 4 years with the bulls*it that goes on, but this one, its importance ... well, I haven't watched TV in months! I spit my guts out if I did!

77. Mr Mxyzptlk has stranded us on the Bizarro World.

Once you realize that, it's not so bad.

Me am good president - so me destroy world!

Me want Osama dead or alive - so me let him go!

Me liberate Iraq - so me kill everyone!

Me was AWOL - so me be war hero!

Rich cheat on taxes - so me end taxes!
