SICK DERANGED ORWELLIAN F*CKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ulTRAX]

Watching the GOP Convention: HOW MUCH MORE HISTORY WILL THE ORWELLIAN RIGHT REWRITE?

Ok... I got it out of my system.

[rwenos]

1. War is Peace . . .

Dr. Henry Jones, Sr., said it best:

"You stood up with a bunch of goose-stepping morons, who spend more time burning books than reading them."

Life imitates art.

[name not needed]

7. Freedom is Slavery!

[Endangered Specie]

13. Ignorance is Strength!

[Fone Book]

21. Big Brother is Watching

[ogradda]

2. orwellian...

that's perfect...that's exactly what it is..

[69KV]

3. I've been avoiding the Repuke convention all week

But couldn't resist tuning in tonight to hear Shrub's Hitler Youth rally.

This speech is disgusting.

Just wanted to share this disgust with all fellow DUers. We're going to stick this race out, win this thing, and take back this country from the radical right. Onward to November! KERRY-EDWARDS 2004!!!

edit: how DARE these Repukes invoke the great name of Harry Truman. Truman is rolling over in his grave.

[ulTRAX]

4. yes it was reminiscent of

Yes the GOP convention was reminiscent of Hitler's Nuremberg rallies. While all scripted political conventions are more show biz than reality, at some point the lies and distortions are so great they must be condemned.

[nefarious]

5. The famous-named charlatan truly holds sway

Over his mindless minions. They use the negative as nucleus for their greedy hypocritical brownshirts to march in lockstep with.

To where will the Bush family evil empire send its chanting lynch mobs?

[VOX]

6. Osama = Saddam; Iraq = 9/11; WMD = ending oppression, etc.

The GOP enjoys it own lies - rather than feel guilty, with each passing lie they get nobler and nobler.

Oh, and the end equation is Bush* = God.

[Tsiyu]

8. I kept saying to the TV:

"We are not Hitler's Children"

"We are Martin Luther King Jr.'s children, and Jefferson's children and Marshall's children and FDR's children and Chief Joseph's children."

WE ARE NOT HITLER'S CHILDREN!!!!!!!!

[Oilwellian]

9. Aside from my favorite name for George

which I use on this website, I also am quite fond of another one I use....George Oilwellian. :)

[kohodog]

10. I love big brother.

16. I do believe you just insulted a number of your fellow DUers.

As well as myself; since I have marched quite a few times against the Iraq war before it started. With my husband, and my baby.

So tell me again how we protesters are jackoffs who want to be on TV.

[Demonaut]

20. campaign is a troll, sorry but I have to call it as I see it

He's a DU disruptor

[kimchi]

22. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's gone!

THANK YOU MODS!

[MsMagnificent]

25. Yep

but he'll be back

Luckily he'll be easy to spot LOL

[MsMagnificent]

23. Methinks he's not a fellow

Certainly not mine!

I thought his hitting patronizing in 19 posts may have been a record -- I was wrong, every post of his I read so far is condescending.

Or should I say he tries LOL
To successfully pull off condescending one truly has to be wise... I'm sure he'll "try and understand that"

Don't know if he's a self-appointed true Democrat who thinks he has the intellectual and moral superiority to dare preach to what he obviously thinks are lesser compatriots; dont know if he's a Loki thrown in by LGF or their ilk.

Beyond knowing he's laughable, I don't really care -- that new, pompous lesser-equine is *clicked* on the Ignore list.

[Demonaut]

26. uhhh<-------------------what she said!

I was wondering when he'd get booted.

[Jesus H. Christ]

17. Yeah, Stalin felt the same way about protestors.

In fact, he didn't like them at all. Funny how much there is in common between the Soviets and the republicans.

[AZCat]

18. Yeah, those darn "Focus Groups" sure are annoying...

They sure do get in a dictator's way sometimes.

Of course, that's what the jackbooted thugs are for - preventing anyone from expressing a contrary opionion, huh?

[kimchi]

15. If you're not angry, you're not paying attention.

Are YOU paying attention? Please, tell us what you think of Bush and Kerry. Come on, it is just a message board. We won't hurt you.

[Tsiyu]

19. Now, now kimchi. Don't lie to the troll

There's no telling how we might torment him or her at this moment.:evilgrin:

The best way to torment trolls is to say things like,

'Why do you hate America? Why do you hate freedom of speech? If you ever gave a damn about anyone besides yourself YOU might feel compelled to stand up for the people YOU love. YOU might feel compelled to stand up for all the dead Iraqi children ( Oh, wait, my Republican friend. No Iraqi children have been killed in this war, correct? All the Right-To-Lifers abandoned blowing up abortion clinics for a week and went and rescued all the children and pregnant women from Iraq prior to any bombing, because Republicans believe in the sanctity of innocent human life. Right?)

Anyway. If YOU cared about anyone or anyone cared about YOU, you might march to protect their life. You might be angry enough to want to see the downfall of a leader who would let those YOU love die.

Alas, no one cares for you. And so you sit all alone in a dark room and think up ways to poke at people who get up off their asses and stand up for what they believe in and care about.

So I suppose you WOULDN'T understand a protester.....'

[kimchi]

24. Well, we can't PHYSICALLY hurt him, so it wasn't a lie.

Cat and mouse is fun; but we have supermods, so you gotta play quickly!

And you can't call someone a troll, even when they obviously are. I think the mods look the other way when they are gone, though. Thanks for the lesson in troll baiting! LMAO!

[porkrind]

27. Why are you still here?

You should be careful. Republicans are NOT your friends. The Republicans want to drive a wedge between Americans such as You and I. If they can keep us distracted, they will steal us blind. You have a lot more in common with us than them. You should really think hard about who REALLY represents your best interests. Resist the groupthink. Is perpetual war and corporate serfdom what you really want? Please stick around DU and read and think.

Republicans are NOT your friends. They represent the wishes of a selfish class of powerful and wealthy individuals and corporations. Don't kid yourself, you probably aren't going to join the richest 0.01% of America that is really their base. Vote your best interests in 2004.

Think about it.
