Fifth Column
A Careful, Reasoned Opinion....
2003-11-05
This came from Democratic Underground by way of www.AndrewSullivan.com .
I Hope the Bloodshed Continues in Iraq
Well, that should bring the bats out of the attic with fangs dripping. I won’t be hypocritcal. It is politically correct, particularly in any Dem discussion to hope and pray and feel for our troops and scream "bring them back now". I’m fighting something bigger.

I’m a 58 year old broad and I can tell you that what is going on in our country isn’t the usual ebb and flow of politics where one party is in power and then another; where the economy goes through ups and downs.......yawn, yawn--just wait a bit and things will turn out peachy keen. That stupid la-la land is over.

I realize that not every GI Joe was 100peeercent behind Prseeedent Booosh going into this war; but I do know that that is what an overwhelming number of them and their famlies screamed in the face of protesters who were trying to protect these kids. Well, there is more than one way to be "dead" for your country. They are not only not accompishing squat in Iraq, they are doing crap nothing for the safety, defense of the US of A over there directly. But "indirectly" they are doing a lot.

The only way to get rid of this slime bag WASP-Mafia, oil barron ridden cartel of a government, this assault on Americans and anything one could laughingly call "a democracy", relies heavily on what a shit hole Iraq turns into. They need to die so that we can be free. Soldiers usually did that directly--i.e., fight those invading and harming a country. This time they need to die in defense of a lie from a lying adminstration to show these ignorant, dumb Americans that Bush is incompetent. They need to die so that Americans get rid of this deadly scum. It is obscene, Barbie Bush, how other sons (of much nobler blood) have to die to save us from your Rosemary’s Baby spawn and his ungodly cohorts.
Mr. Sullivan comments: I’m not saying this represents anything but a radical fringe. Implying that liberals or Democrats support his kind of poison is absurd. But this exists. And it’s part of what’s fueling the anger of the far left. (By the way, Democratic Underground has more traffic than this site, Instapundit, the Nation or the New Republic. It boasts over 30,000 subscribers.)

I am honestly not sure if this woman has any idea of the horrors we’ve avoided by standing up to terror. She certainly has no clue as to what happened in NYC on 9/11.

Think Big Ass Russian style Rachel Corrie icons.
Perhaps with a low chant in background.

#8  I love this stuff. This is the face of the Democratic Party. While it may not reflect anywhere near the majority opinion of the party it is becoming the image people associate with Dems. I live in the SF Bay Area, this garbage is not just fringe.

I can't wait for the demo convention next year. Puppets, lotsa dope and spittle flying. Nothing will help Bush be reelected faster.

#7  NMM, I can't deny that they do come up w/some funny shit on DU. I wish they'd spend as much time on their theories and arguments as they do the disparaging icons of convservatives.

#6  Awlright, this was obviously posted by a Lucianne Goldberg wannabe! Although I do agree with the "oil barron ridden cartel" sic remark. Democratic Underground does have its crazies like this--as do right wing websites--I remember our KLAN buddy here on Rantburg the other day! But the "Top Ten Conservative Idiots" on that website is priceless--esp the little icons! See for yourself:

#5  If the moderate left doesn't denounce the wacky left they will have no chance in 2004.Doesn't matter if they agree or not with the wacky left, the mindset is starting to grow that the wacky left is the left.

The "moderate" left is no more likely to denounce, or better, renounce, these nuts than "moderate" Muslims are likely to renounce Islamofascists.

It's not going to happen. The liberals may not like these guys but they don't have the spine to toss them out on their asses.

#4  LOL! Subscribers? Huh? If Ashcroft & Co are half as evil as these mondo-paranoid tools & our local Rantburg Doom & Gloom Dogma Site Rep, NMM, give them credit for, then they will have this subscriber list and are "...checking it twice to see who's naughty or nice..." Squirrels. I'll bet the Secret Service guys love the overtime when one like this comes in.

#2  I infiltrated onto demounderground about two weeks ago....holy crazy shit batman!

Some of them are just moderate-dems but some are radical socialist whackos. They blamed Bush for everything wrong in the world. Now, I'm not the biggest GWB fan but these f*ckers hate Bush more then they care about America. I.E. - They blamed him for an Iraqi girl being raped by other Iraqis in Baghdad and for her later honor killing at the hands of her own family. They said Bush was directly responsible - failing to understand how individuals are accountable for their own actions (typical ultra-lib stupidity). F*king nuts-o logic. One poster even said that at least under Saddam all the crazies were in prison and not raping the populace!!? I replied asking his view of Uday/Qusay? I said I guess they're not crazy at all w/raping virgins and torturing soccer players. In the face of logic all they could do was tell me to F*ck off. Go figure.

30,000 doesn't surprise me. They have a lot of college kids who are turned on by that crap.

#1  You can be against Dubya all you want, but this is the sort of mentality that will reelect the Shrub next year.
