RW rant in my local college newspaper:

[Rocknrule]

"Over Christmas break I watched an episode of the Late Show with David Letterman where one of Letterman's guests was Bill O'Reilly. Letterman, being one of the most unabashedly leftist talk show hosts in the country, quickly turned the discussion to the war in Iraq and began to harangue O'Reilly on everything that has gone wrong. He called O'Reilly a liar, said "people like him" are what is wrong with this country, and mocked him for disagreeing with Cindy Sheehan's protest tactics. All after admitting to never watching O'Reilly's program.

It was at this moment I had an epiphany. I realized for the first time that Letterman and the army of liberal nut jobs he speaks for (many of whom were in the audience cheering) are actually rooting for us to lose in Iraq. It dawned on me that a rather large constituency of democrats would be happy if we were beaten out of Iraq. They could then hold this monumental failure over the head of their arch enemy President George W. Bush. I have said before I believe liberals are lying when they claim to support the troops but I now realize I was only half right; they flat out want the troops to lose.

Ask any die hard liberal you know if they enjoy seeing President George W. Bush make mistakes and I would bet the answer is most assuredly "YES." If he didn't, they wouldn't have anything to talk about. The plethora of Web sites and blogs whose soul intent is to mock the president and republicans in general (e.g. democraticunderground.com, whitehouse.org, and bushorchimp.com) would have to be abandoned. Nothing would make these people happier than to see the most important undertaking of this presidency end in an admittance of failure.

Many of you may be reading this and making the exact same realization I did. You also may be wondering how in the hell people can get away with rooting against their own country in a time of war, like I am. I have all the respect in the world for the First Amendment but this goes way beyond that. As far as I am concerned this behavior is treason and should be tried as such. The only problem is that I have no physical evidence of my claims; it just happens to be a theory of mine.

When Letterman decided to let his guest speak again, O'Reilly pointed out the exact thing I am talking about. He admitted the war was indeed a mistake but that at this point, it has to be won for the good of the country. He mentioned that Cindy Sheehan calling insurgents "freedom fighters" and countless other liberals calling the president a liar and murderer was not helping the cause but was, in fact, hurting it. Letterman struggled to refrain from cheering aloud for terrorists and their insurgent counterparts and simply ended the interview.

In the next few days, I foresee a lot of response from liberals claiming they are "appalled" by my comments and they do indeed want America to win the war in Iraq. These people are lying or at least most of them are. Though they would never admit it publicly, these people would feel just a little bit of joy at the thought of a pull out from Iraq. And that my friends, is just sick."

:banghead: :puke:

Gosh, I thought the "you're either with the Republicans or with the terrorists," "America, love Bush or leave it" talking points were just soooooo 2003

[wryter2000]

1. He was right about this, anyway

how in the hell people can get away with rooting against their own country in a time of war, like I am

:evilgrin:

On edit: Did you send him enlistment papers?

[Sandpiper]

2. Why doesn't this person enlist and join the cause?

Sounds like another one of these...

[Jade Fox]

3. Missed point : We never supported the War in the first place.

George Bush brutally invades a sovereign nation, and we're supposed to support it because America is "at war", and if we don't, then we are being hypocritical when we say we support the troops, and treasonous toward our country?

There is no way the actions of Liberals will ever please someone like this. Bush and his supporters set the stage, and we can only respond to it by pointing out hypocrisies and discrepancies in their actions.

[NanceGreggs]

4. A few simple corrections ...

"... a large constituency of democrats would be happy if we were beaten out of Iraq. They could then hold this monumental failure over the head of their arch enemy President George W. Bush."

Iraq already IS a monumental failure, and it was all BUSH'S idea. There's no need to 'hold it over his head'; it's there for all the world to see.

"Liberals are lying when they claim to support the troops but I now realize I was only half right; they flat out want the troops to lose."

It wasn't the Liberals who sent the troops into harm's way without body armour, or other necessities - like an exit strategy.

"Nothing would make these people happier than to see the most important undertaking of this presidency end in an admittance of failure."

We gave up waiting for him to 'admit failure' a long time ago. His failures, however, are more than obvious - whether he admits to them or not.

5. Appalled by his/her comments?

If I am not appalled at the fact that none of my dogs or cats has had an "Epiphany" and, after much deep contemplation, chosen to drop the dog act, speak reasoned, thoughtful American english and quit acting the fool, why, then, should I be appalled at the erudite dissimulation of a bottom feeder in the eater-of-souls swamp?

Trying to argue logically from fact, however distorted, through two opinions/attitude sets, and then to conclusion and fortune-telling just doesn't trip my trigger, reasoning-wise.

[tsuki]

8. Epiphany=he read the RNC talking points.

[brentspeak]

12. LOL

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Jara sang]

6. There was no formal declaration of war.

Didn't Bin Reilly say that he would not support Bush if no WMDs were found. Oh, I'm sorry, that was just a lie.

[Nutmegger]

7. "being one of the most unabashedly leftist talk show hosts in the country"

WTF? Does this one comment make him "liberal"? Freaking freepers...:eyes:

[hfojvt]

9. does it ever occur to this fellow

to put the horse before the cart? George W. Bush is not our arch-enemy because we hate him, we hate him because he is our arch-enemy (an arch-enemy being someone who intends to cause me and my loved ones harm). He is waging un-declared war on working Americans, the environment and American principles. We do not want him to fail. We do not want his policies to be bad for our country. We want his policies to be stopped because we can see that his policies are and will be bad for our country, that's why we hate him - because he harms the country that we love. Here is what I, and other liberals and progressives predicted in Feb. of 2003 - before Bush unilaterally decided to invade Iraq.

1) There were no WMDs in Iraq
2) This war would cost thousands of American lives
3) This war would cause massive amounts of death and destruction to Iraqis
4) This war would cost billions and billions of dollars.

All of that, and more, has been proven true, at great cost to our country. If we had been listened to then, our country would be better off. Based on our track record of being proven right and Bush's of being proven wrong, our policies and ideas are much more likely to be good for our country than Bush's.

[azmouse]

14. I just can't stop thinking about what could have been done

with all those billions of dollars if they had been spent here in America.
Health care, schools, roads, more security at seaports.....

10. Ha ha

"You also may be wondering how in the hell people can get away with rooting against their own country in a time of war, like I am."

I think you mean: "You also may be wondering, like I am, how in the hell people can get away with rooting against their own country in a time of war."

The way you've written it, it sounds like you're rooting against your own country in a time of war.

Dumbass.

[Rocknrule]

11. But it was patriotic to massacre Clinton 24/7 for 8 years

:crazy:

[baldguy]

13. What makes him think Letterman is a "leftist"?

Maybe because he's actually funny?

[B Calm]

18. He's from a very RED STATE! Matter of fact, it's always the first

state they color in on election night.

[iamahaingttta]

15. Well, I'm just gonna come out and say it...

...for the mind-numbingly stupid freak who wrote that letter:

Yes, you sorry excuse for a Homo Sapiens Sapiens - I WANT THE U.S. TO GET IT'S LYING ASS KICKED OUT OF IRAQ!!! AS SOON AS FUCKING POSSIBLE!!!

Is that clear enough for you, you thoughtless nimrod?

And furthermore, FUCK YOU!!! The Bush Crime Family has been gunning for Iraq's oil for forever, and YOUR FUCKING PRESIDENT was dumb enough to think he could get away with it!!!

Do you understand, you brain-dead puss-bag,?

PEOPLE ARE GETTING FUCKING KILLED for a series of lies so that the THIEVES AND MURDERERERS could get their war on. AND WE DON'T FUCKING LIKE IT!!! NOT ONE BIT!!! This is NOT how OUR America would behave. We don't want our fellow citizens to be put into harm's way and FORCED to kill other people who just happen to be in the way.

And we're going to yell it to the rafters. We're going to bitch and moan and indict. DO YOU FUCKING GET IT?!?!?

I want your boyfriend Georgie, his Halliburton loving pal BIG DICK, RUMMY THE SCUMMY and all of those other LYING FUCKING TRAITORS to get their lame fucking ASSES KICKED IN IRAQ, AND THEN STAND AT A FUCKING WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL!!! Is that clear enough for you??? Did you really need a FUCKING REALIZATION TO FIGURE THAT OUT???

There. I've said it!

[Rocknrule]

16. Great rant!

[Mutley]

17. This guy is just now jumping on this bandwagon?

He's a little slow on the uptake, isn't he? :crazy:

[Initech]

19. What a freaking TOOL!!!

Really, this guy is maybe even more of a tool than bin Reilly is!

:rofl:

[Rocknrule]

20. Maybe this is the guy who will give Bush the impeachable blowjob
