Frist and Torture: What Did He Know and When Did He Know It?

Time magazine yesterday revealed new allegations of systematic abuse of Iraqi detainees made by a “decorated former Captain in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division.” For months, the Captain says, U.S. soldiers were directed “to conduct daily beatings of prisoners prior to questioning.” In one instance, “a soldier allegedly broke a detainee’s leg with a metal bat.” Other prisoners had “their faces and eyes exposed to burning chemicals.”

The Captain revealed this abuse to Human Rights Watch in July 2005. He also reported his charges to “three senior Republican senators,” including Majority Leader Bill Frist and Sen. John McCain. The torture, he said, was due primarily to “chronic confusion over U.S. military detention policies and whether or not the Geneva Convention applied.”

On July 27, the same month the Captain came forward, Sen. Frist single-handedly derailed a bipartisan effort — led by Sen. McCain — to clarify rules for the treatment of enemy prisoners at U.S. prison camps. In what news reports at the time described as an “unusual move,” Frist “simply pulled the bill from consideration” before it could be debated.

Bill Frist needs to come clean: Was his office told of the “systematic abuse” in the 82nd Airborne before he torpedoed the new detainee laws?

    well I wonder what McCain will have to say about this,being a POW in Nam?

    Unbelievable. This guy is sinking like a rock.


  4. Michael Derravo says:

    Oh goody, the left is going to go into another fit about torture, and about how we should be kinder to our enemies. Finally, something to make Bush’s approval ratings jump.


  5. xristim says:

    The McCain bill would have been a giant step, and I was appalled when it was removed from consideration. I wrote Mr. Frist a scathing letter of rebuke — which resulted in nothing more than my being added to his newsletter e-mail list, though I do not reside in his state and certainly would not be his constituent if I did. Mr. Frist is such a frail reed that he cannot stand up to the displeasure of the religious right or the Administration. His lack of leadership skills has been repeatedly noted. He’s a “nice Southern boy”. His mission in life is to please all the grown-ups in the room; alas, most of them are are people we don’t want to know with minds so small they are hard-pressed to store their Social Security Numbers and phone numbers. It’s suggested he contemplates a run for the Presidency. God — or whoever or whatever — forfend!


  6. SpudgeBoy says:

    We don’t need to go into a fit. We only need to present the facts. Bushies ratings are still going down. How much farther do they need to go down before they go back up. 38% is pretty damn low. Adn you people still think you’re the majority. Theere is a clinical name for your schism. You should go see a psychiotrist. Maybe some lithium or a labotomy can help you.


  7. profmarcus says:

    it’s all there in black and white and has been for some time… the memorandum written by gen. ricardo sanchez (and later denied under oath in front of the senate armed services committee) that specified interrogation techniques for prisoners in iraq, the waiver of geneva rights for prisoners signed by bush, the undebatable chain of command leading down through rumsfeld and meyers… anything subsequent to those damning documents and clear-cut accountabilities is mere window dressing… i totally fail to understand why the official sanctioning of prisoner torture has not been officially addressed, if not by judicial inquiry at least by making it absolutely transparent to the public through the media… we have truly lost our way…

    I do wish you guys would lay off Frist. We need him in one piece to do a ‘Bob Dole’ in ‘08.


  9. WaltTheMan says:

    Frist is not responsible for the torture – it was Gonzolez, W, Cheney and Rumsfeld. It was already in progress when he turned aside an effort to stop it. Clinton is responsible for 9/11, NOLA levees, national debt, taxes, sky rocketing gas prices, and Iraq because he was president before W. W inherited the f–king mess and everything that he has done since then is Clinton’s fault. But then spoiled rich brats seem to do that with their inheritances.

    I sure hope Lynndie England’s jury gets to look at this before her trial ends. This scapegoating those lower soldiers must stop.
    If there was no widespread abuse, no failure to train the troops then how could a west point trained, 82nd airborne active duty officer not know what is appropriate and what is not?
    I was a reservist, and I know I wasnt trained.
    If there was no wrong by bush, Rummy, Sanchez, Miller, etc.., why would Frist have to pull that bill? Why not get things out in the open and have a independant investigation? We all know the gov. doesnt mind spending money, so it cant be worry over that!
    You cant tell your troops one thing and then leave them hanging, its just not right. More people should stand behind all our troops, those scapegoats too. They were told they were saving lives, and probably did. Dont judge from home.

    I knew that was coming. You are that stupid and predictable.

    When opinions lead to actions that result in the death of our soldiers and are used as propaganda against the stated objectives of our constitutionally elected government and to subvert our population it becomes treason. You don’t even talk a good show. I say feed you to the sharks off the coast of Club Gitmo.

  22. SpudgeBoy says:

    I am a patriot. I went to war for Bush Sr. You know, the smart Bush. He was smart enough to not invade Baghdad. Bush Jr. was too stupid to even listen to his dad, when he told him that invading Iraq was a bad idea and Bush Jr. has now even blamed his dad for 9/11.

    This guy is a real piece of work. he has never been to war, but considers himself a “war president”

    He is anything but.

    As soon as you have served this country, you can tell me about being a patriot. Until that time, you do not have a leg to stand on.


  23. Ryan Neat says:

    “When opinions lead to actions that result in the death of our soldiers and are used as propaganda against the stated objectives of our constitutionally elected government and to subvert our population it becomes treason. ”

    Considering bush wasn’t constitutionally elected, nor did he ‘legally’ obtain the approval of congress for the war because he treasonously lied about the grounds for war – then clearly Bush is the one who committed treason…

    “You don’t even talk a good show. I say feed you to the sharks off the coast of Club Gitmo.”

    I say talk like this is clearly why you and your traiterous NeoCons are a dangerous traitors to the democracy and its values. You steal elections, wage illegal wars, steal the country blind, try to bankrupt it, don’t supply the troops with the equipment, training, supplies or troop strength needed to do their job – and otherwise undermine the country’s military and moral. You are truly the traiterous scum of the earth. And yet, I would never say kill any of you – because unlike how you and your terrorist buddies feel, that would be unamerican and against our values. But then again, the only thing you seem to value is hate, retribution and vengence. You are truly a terrorist.


  24. Ryan Neat says:

    “Sorry Dean but the vast majority of us don’t agree that it’s wrong to kick the enemies ass. The only sin I can see is allowing you Left Wing Asses to continue your sedition and subversion.”

    Lets see, who’s the enemy – the iraqi people, as they seem to be the main folks dying here (100,000 and counting). Also, torture isn’t warfare, it’s sadism. It’s an outmoted practice that any self respecting military person will tell you is ineffective. The only purpose of it is the same purpose as terrorism, to satisfy the sick urgings of a psychotic (that would be you and your buddy frist).


  25. Ryan Neat says:

    “It’s called patriotism. Those who catch it hate throat slitting, head chopping baby killing enemies of all that is good MORE than they hate their own country. Careful you don’t catch it.”

    Was it also patriotic when Republicans trained, funded and recruited AlQueda? Was it also patriotic when they sold WMDs to Iraq? Was it also patriotic when they sold Plutonium reactors to Iran? You and your slime buddies always claim patriotism for every treasonous act you commit! You aren’t patriots, you’re radical terrorists!


  26. Ryan Neat says:

    The United States Army agrees. The Army Field Manual on Intelligence Interrogation states:

    Use of torture and other illegal methods is a poor technique that yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection efforts, and can induce the source to say what he thinks the interrogator wants to hear. Revelation of use of torture by U.S. personnel will bring discredit upon the U.S. and its armed forces while undermining domestic and international support for the war effort. It may also place U.S. and allied personnel in enemy hands at a greater risk of abuse by their captors.

    In other words, weakening the rules against torture makes us less secure, not more. Torture produces unreliable information, makes it more difficult to win wars, and places our troops at risk.

    The 9/11 Commission correctly concluded that the prisoner abuse scandal has damaged our ability to combat the terrorist threat. In the Commission’s words, “Allegations that the United States abused prisoners in its custody make it harder to build the diplomatic, political, and military alliances the government will need.”

    Sadly, pictures from Abu Ghraib have become recruiting posters for Al-Qaeda. To remedy this problem, we must heed the words of Revolutionary Thomas Paine, who said: “He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression.”


  27. SoldierWhoHasBeenThere says:

    If the Army Field Manuel states that, and its true, then Col. Pappas, General Fast, General Sanchez, General Miller, etc.. should have had no need to bring their abuse tactics over from Guantanamo to Iraq to help stem the tide of the insurgency


  28. Leatherneck says:

    I see I-RIGHT-I is still shooting his Nazi mouth off here. Talks big about patriotism and kicking some enemy ass. Hey shit-for-brains, since you it is obvious that you have never served your country except from behind the TV, the actions of our armed forces are guided by a number of principles, not the least of which are the Code of Conduct, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the US Constitution, and the moral and ethical qualities that seperate us from our enemies.

    Get a clue, dipshit.

  30. John the Elder says:

    1Right1 There is nothing patriotic about supporting an immoral government that engages in torture and sends its youth to their deaths for lies and oil. In fact, the patriotic thing to do is to identify that government for the corrupt entity it is. When that government tries to use God and religion to cover their despicible actions, they in turn are to be despised and removed with all due haste. The same should occur to all those stupid enough to follow these frauds. Enjoy the trip to the eternal fires 1Right1

    Pain was a sophist and French sympathizer at a time we nearly went to war with them. He was an atheist agitator and died a ruined man with no friends and only a few notable quotes to remember him by. That’s what happens to progressive losers.

    comment by John

    John, if I thought that were true I’d be on your side. But it’s not. Where’s the oil? Show me real torture as a policy and a weapon as it was used against us in Germany, Japan and even Iraq. I guess you don’t think beheading Americans for the hungry internet web cams isn’t torture? Don’t trot out naked but living killers who still are wearing their heads and try and tell me it’s torture.

    Immoral? Before you can make that statement you must first prove that you are a moral man and I don’t mean in some touchy feely “do if for the children” kind of way. I mean you must show the willingness to do the right thing even though it’s the hard thing. You have to show me you know the difference between good and evil. You said you were moral. Stick around and prove it. Here’s a hint, you’re not off to a good start.

    “. I guess you don’t think beheading Americans for the hungry internet web cams isn’t torture? ”

    Actually that’s murder, not torture. So this is now your measure of morality? We torture ‘LESS’ than they do? The reality is that measuring your morals against islamic terrorists is reasonable, as it’s clear you share more values with them than you do with me or other authentic americans.

    For my own part I would as soon be descended from that heroic little monkey, who braved his dreaded enemy in order to save the life of his keeper; or from that old baboon, who, descending from the mountains, carried away in triumph his young comrade from a crowd of astonished dogs — as from a savage who delights to torture his enemies, offers up bloody sacrifices, practices infanticide without remorse, treats his wives like slaves, knows no decency, and is haunted by the grossest superstitions.

    -Charles Darwin (The Descent of Man, 1871)

    No theory is too false, no fable too absurd, no superstition too degrading for acceptance when it has become embedded in common belief. Men will submit themselves to torture and to death, mothers will immolate [burn] their children at the bidding of beliefs they thus accept.

    What you don’t know because of your public education and because you spent most of it earning your lunch money is a bathroom stall is this; the fucking feckless french thought they owned us after that and went out of their way to screw us in business and to stab us in the back while they negotiated treaties against our country with our enemies the British and in general were, well, French. Fuck them. Fuck you too if you promise not to take it literally.

    Mt. 6:14,15 this is what’s hard, much harder than hating or killing, and why reichwingers are too weak to do it:

    I don’t believe in killing, reichwingers do, and yet they equate us to being killers. This is called projection and the mark of insanity in this case…

    Yes you do. You’ve done it, you’ve voted for it and every other word out of your mouth tells anyone with an ear you are a killer.

    How? You hate. Jesus says that’s murder. You think abortion is quite all right, that’s murder in Jesus’ book. You are a practicing homosexual. That means you’ve murdered your body, spirit and soul by giving yourself away to perverted lusts of the flesh and then refuse to acknowledge your sin. Rather than acknowledge it you revel in it and encourage others to do the same. In short, you are screwed and, I don’t mean that in a way you think is good.

Anyone else think it’s funny how a republican who voted for the guys that funded and created alqueda would accuse others of voting for murder? Nazis always try to accuse the other side of their own atrocities – it appears to be part of their ‘complex’. Coupled with a good old fashioned combination of self hate, persecution complex, near illiteracy on religion and history and you’ve got a power potion of terrorism brewing in the aryan brotherhood of rednecks and morons…

  56. Ryan Neat says:

    Actually my partner of almost 20 years (notice I didn’t say what gender because even if I did MrWhacko would claim otherwise) just asked me to get ready to go out. See unlike MrPathetic, I have a loving and healthy relationship, whereas he apparently resorts to anonymous sex according to one of his other posts. What a sad pathetic creature he truly is. He has my compassion even if he doesn’t deserve it…


  57. Ryan Neat says:

    And I could point everyone to the link with MrCrazy’s marxist comment, but then again I tire of correcting his errors and lies, so I’m not gonna bother. Everyone knows here who’s untrustworthy, even if the reichwingers tell themselves otherwise…

    Next time MrAlwaysAlLiar lies about torture, remember MrSanchez’s memo that was made public what – over a year ago – shows that torture is part of the military policy. Also this week more soldiers came forward speaking out about the official policy.

    http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/092405Z.shtml

    This is a settled issued to anyone who actually reads and isn’t a propagandist. The kids are in charge of the CONservatives, and they’re too incompetent to wipe their asses, let alone govern or even speak honorably. They are without honor, without morals and without consciences…

    You assume just because I can tell you’re a fag that I am – that’s called projection. I have no problems with homosexuality, but every homophobe I’ve met was a nut job, you’re no exception… And I’ve met lots of gay men who’ve told me the ‘used’ to be homophobes to hide their sexuality – so clearly you qualify on all accounts…

    Unfortunately with your degree of self hate the only hope you ever have is to get to a qualified therapist who can treat you for your homophobia and self hate. But just like an alcoholic or a crack adict, you’ll probably never get the treatment you need until you hit rock bottom. The fact that you’re single at your age should tell you something, but you seem slow on the uptake about everything, so this is no different…

  64. Ron says:

    It’s ‘eat shit and bark at the moon,’ so there.

    Bill Frist is probably a one-trick pony and had all of his eggs in one basket. He only had HCA stock in his blind trust. His brother gave him a sweetheart deal on the initial sale, it grew to a 35 million dollar investment and he cashed in when he could get the most for his holdings. $35 000 000 / $58 = 603 448 shares of HCA if that is what he had.

    I doubt very much if he is sailing his yacht today.

    If the truth be told, I doubt very much that he cares one way or the other if US enlisted personnel torture/tortured Iraqis. Butchers and morticians are seldom chosen for jury duty. Make that cat anatomists, too.

I’m truly sorry you’re so dysfunctional…

But my guess is that’s what it takes now Mr Limbaugh…

    I’ll paraphrase John McCain: the torture issue isn’t about who THEY are, it’s about who WE are.

    You can keep talking about ‘the terrorists’ and the atrocious things they do as if that justifies torture, but it simply doesn’t. It cheapens America to accept torture in its name. We as a nation supposedly decided long ago that we are above that.

    If you support torture, you hate America and everything for which it’s supposed to stand. You should move to Sudan.

    It says, ‘we don’t give a shit about who we are anymore’. It literally throws everything America has purported to stand for in its over 200 year history into the trash. It makes the allies we’d want to have not want to have us as allies. Because they then have to associate with a noation that practices torture.

    That ‘coalition of the willing [to look the other way while we commit untold human rights violations]‘ is looking a bit thin these days…

    I’ve read and understand the bible, right-i. ALL OF IT. It’s a barely comprehensible litany of word-of-mouth and contradiction. To say otherwise would be ignorant. Don’t just quote me the ‘good parts’.

    Consider…[excerpt from – The Lone Star Iconoclast Online http://198.65.14.85/Letters/July/letters01.htm

    1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not to Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

    2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

    3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

    4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

    5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

    6. A friend of mine feels that, even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there “degrees” of abomination?

    7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

    8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

    9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

    10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them (Lev. 24:10-16)? Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws (Lev.20:14)?

    So, right-i, is this the bible you claim to know and understand so well? I think if Jesus knew you, really, he’d be pretty sad for you. You’re a hypocrite to quote Jesus in such a hateful, gay-bashing context. And I find it hard to believe by reading your comments that you don’t hate also. You’re riddled with the kind of hate that Jesus could never understand or condone.

    You give Jesus a bad name. If you were really living your life for Jesus, you’d be donating your time to community efforts for the less fortunate. You certainly wouldn’t be here, insulting people.

    What would Jesus do, right-I?

    Would he call somebody a “crack head dime a throw gutter snipe” (funny I never saw that phrase in the bible)? Can you “prove that you are a moral man” by calling someone a “lying sissy” or claiming to want to feed someone “to the sharks off the coast of Club Gitmo”?

    That’s a real difficult moral road you’re taking there. I mean, it must be hard to say that. But if it’s “the right thing even though it’s the hard thing”, then I can’t argue. It must’ve been SO HARD to say that Jesus never said it himself.

    But hey, if it was the right thing, how can I argue with you?

It takes an illiterate fool to ignore scientific metrics on the subject, yet these creationist fools never care about science, only fairy tales written in a set of scrolls that were ANONYMOUSLY penned in greek and fully unauthenticated… In otherwords, they’re fools!

    I-RIGHT-I,

    “The Book,” the bible, is full of murder. Don’t come here, or anywhere other than a church and try to preach peace, or “thou show not kill” and claim that it’s the bible that teaches you those things. More people have died in the “name of god” than for any other reason.

    As far as homosexual’s are concerned, some of the “greatest” men and women who ever lived were “gay.” If you look back through all of our gene pools you will find that everyone’s gene pool has homosexuals in it. Humans are sexual beings. Just like any other animal on the planet. Have you ever seen a male dog try to hump another male dog?

    Thousands of years ago, when primal man would go out in packs hunting and leave the women alone for days on end, neither sex would have a heterosexual outlet. But their “needs” and “desires” would compel them to perform sexual acts on people of the same sex, just like any other animal. This is where “homo”-sexual desires come from. It’s just an instinct, and like all instincts, some of us are more in tune with certain instincts more then others.

    In order for people to live peacefully, there must be understanding. As long as there are people like you who don’t accept people for who they are, there can never be peace. Congratulations on being a road block to peace. You had better be proud of yourself.

    I’ve been to texas many times (several times this year alone), the only terms I’ve ever heard used were queer and faggot – both of which were spewn out like your tripe. So unless you and your closet texas fag friends have a secret code for your anonymous sex get togethers, this is not common language. You’re clearly a closet case…

    Damn.
    I was hoping right-i would reply with another enlightened comment. Actually, no I wasn’t; this is what I do in the blogs- get rid of the irrelevant commentary so a discussion can actually commence. But heed my advice about trolls, and the way to get rid of them: don’t get into the name-calling back and forth, it only plays to their strength, which is spewing hate, and feeds their desire, which is to rattle you because they think you’re ‘wimpy liberals’. Challenge their “rightness” and their “righteousness” with their own words. right-i only made it too easy in this case.

    funny, when you show someone that they’re obviously being a hypocrite, it usually shuts them up pretty quick. Unless they’re just stupid.

    The democrats should run on that premise alone – the hypocrisy of the republicans in almost every political effort they make. (r)’s have a hard time even pretending they’re conservative anymore.

    I don’t think a little tear gas is torture, even if it’s true. But to answer your question loser I don’t think the Geneva convention applies to men who hide among the population, kill civilians, shoot from behind women and children, blow up school buses and police stations. In fact the Geneva Convention and commonly held international rules of war expressly exclude cold blooded killers like that. When found they are to be taken out and shot like the dogs they are. Why we don’t do that to these monsters is beyond be.

    I have to wonder what kind of people, what kind of community what kind of side show freak teacher you had to produce a hateful arguably insane person who calls Islamic head chopping, baby killing, bomb throwing nutter a human and one of our soldiers and animal?

    This is a typical thread. Starts with a topic and degenerates into sniping, innuendo and ends in vitriolic namecalling. That’s why I love blogs. At the end you have to say–uh, just what started this?

    Frist did what he was supposed to do as leader of the rank-and-file Republicans in the Senate: he followed his leader’s orders. As I am sure the military at lower ranks did, just as the Captain reported.

    Is it the correct thing to do? And even it is correct, is it the moral thing to do? If you conclude it is both correct and moral, you evidently get to honk your horn and play Superior Patriot in the Bush Administration’s band. If you have serious qualms about the correctness and morality, I think you have a conscience.


  93. Nancy L. says:

    Since Frist came out and backed stem cell research, his protection from the Administration seems to have evaporated. Guess you play by Dubya’s rules or you’re off the team. Since the AG office is controlled by you-know-who, I’d say this is Frist’s swan song. Even if he doesn’t go to prison, he’s certainly going to wipe out his ’savings’ in attorney fees. And if this doesn’t send a signal to other Republicans…..nothing like having a knife to your throat.

    What the hell are you talking about? If Bush doesn’t bitch slap RHINO’s like Spector and Olympia Snow and little dispute he has with Frist isn’t even going to get his attention. Besides that dumbass, as I’ve already pointed out whatever he did, if he did anything wrong at all, it is simple a violation of Senate rules. It’s not criminal. Sheesh, no wonder you people can’t get elected, you never know what you’re talking about.

    Six Percent

    Six percent is the amount of my life I will have spent in Iraq by the end of this deployment. Granted, it is not a large number, but when you think of life as a one-time-only event, suddenly every last moment is precious. Six percent is a lot to have wasted in a perilous and hostile environment. It is a lot of time to have spent betrayed by The Lie. Before I get out of the army, fully twenty percent of my enlistment will have been spent “stop lossed” past the expiration of my contract. More than a year will transpire after I was supposed to have been released from service.

    Today marks an especially bitter day for me as I learned from the news (of all places) that my unit’s deployment will be extended until the end of January, making it much longer than the twelve month “maximum”. The Department of Defense says that less than ten thousand soldiers will be affected, and therefore the scope of the extension is very limited. Also, the length of our extension will be shorter than in the past.

    That may be true, but it does not make the news any less damaging to me, personally. I have been abused by the army and the country for too long, and now the mistreatment has been extended. This is MY LIFE that they are destroying. Six percent. I’ll never get it back, and there is nothing that they can do to make up for my lost life… but in lieu of an apology and the promise of a speedy return home, I am EXTENDED? I promised Holly that I would be home for my birthday (it would have been the first time we would be together for it), but I was a fool for believing I couldn’t possibly be screwed any more than I had been

    The country lied to me, and my life is in deficit by six percent because of it. My rage and hatred are reaching a point where I sometimes feel like expressing both violently. I would not want to be on the battlefield with someone like me; but everywhere I look, I see people going through the same emotions. We are the army of The Betrayed; soldiers lied to and abused. Soldiers who will spend the rest of our lives wondering what we did to deserve our country’s betrayal. That so few people in America seem to care about us adds insult to injury. Wake up, America; right this horrible wrong before more of your youth are lied to on their way to The Slaughterhouse.

    As for the brainwashed bible thumpers, they will be rightly “shocked and awed” when they finally wake up and realize that the “One World Government” they have been so afraid of turns out to be nothing more than the Imperialism of the United States, backed by that “New One World Regligion” they have been so afraid of, which is of course none other than their very own Christianity. The bible was written for the believer, not the unbeliever. Their prophecy is about themselves, but they have been brainwashed to believe it’s all about “somebody else”. Remember, when dealing with the “dark side”, one must think in opposites, that is thier “MO”, deception.

    And speaking of deception, let’s not forget that the Israeli Mossad’s moto is “By way of deception, shalt thou make war.” 9/11 was planned, financed, and executed by the Israeli Mossad with help of course from the upper ranks of the CIA and FBI, along with the full knowledge and consent of the Busch administration which sent 3,000 American Citizens to the slaughter like so many sacrificial sheep for the appeasement of their murdering, warmongering, SELF PROFESSED, angry, vengeful, jealous, god.

    FUN FACTS ABOUT PROTESTORS

    * They are called “protestors” because there is something which they “protest”. Only God know what, though, because they’re so damn incoherent.

    * Much like the pineapple, protestors start with a ‘p’.

    * Protestors like to yell a lot, but it’s hard to hear what they’re saying. It’s probably about how much they like Saddam and dictators since them being deposed seems to really get them riled.

    * Protestors try to make their message clearer by waving signs around. Apparently they don’t think there should be trade between the Red Cross and Exxon.

    * A number of protestors these days are anarchists. They can be identified as the protestors who can’t properly pronounce what they are.

    * Large scale protests rarely change things because people don’t want to share opinions with smelly, yelling people.

    * To protestors, the day they protest is known as “action day”. To police, it’s known as “whomping day”.

    * If you’re a police officer and it looks like protests are getting out of control, shoot a protestor. I thought I saw him going for a gun too (wink) (wink).

    * Like bees, protestors operate in swarms, but they don’t produce anything useful like honey.

    * In America, the right to protest is guaranteed by the First Amendment, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence how that one’s directly followed by one saying we should have guns.

    * Whatever you do, don’t let protestors touch you! It will make you annoyed.

    * There are rarely large scale protests by right-leaning people on account of them having things called dignity and jobs.

    * By the principles of basic physics, sound can be nullified by hitting it with the same sound with the sound wave offset by ninety degrees. So, to nullify the yelling of protestors, blast them with the recording of monkeys screeching.

    * You make monkeys screech by dangling bananas in front of them but never giving them to them. Stupid monkeys. What are they going to do anyway? Take over the world and blow up the Statue of Liberty?

    * Much like fire, protestors need oxygen to survive. Also like fire, denying protestors oxygen can cause them to die out.

    * In another similarity to fire, dousing protestors with water can help quell them.

    * Maybe if the song “Don’t Worry; Be Happy” were played over loudspeakers, protestors would stop protesting as they no longer worried and were now happy. It’s worth a shot.

    * Another idea is tear gas, but that will probably cause them to worry and not be happy. Screw them.

    Just a bunch of cowardly bullies trolling mostly for attention, at a distance they think is safe.

    Apparently Frist received 24 separate letters from the blind trust giving him details on every transaction they were executing. He knew exactly what was in the trust at any given time, making a mockery of the rules of blind trusts. And on top of that, he and his whole family had a coordinated massive sell off just before the ‘bad news’ came out that caused the stock to plummet. More LOOTING by repubican gang banger crooks…

    Cheney the alcoholic enabler, crook extraordinare should go to jail with his co-conspirators.
    Rove should be tried and (while I don’t believe in execution – that is the punishment) punished for his act of treason.

    These guys are liars, crooks, theives and fascist dictators, and I don’t care how stupid, religious or backwards the majority of americans are – those of us who are not simply deserve better – and the constitution demands we have it!

  170. whatever says:

    Have you ever noticed how nobody can ever seem to have a logical discussion about politics or religion these days?
    It always degenerates into name calling and slandering on both sides. For those of you that agree with the original posting, just acknowledging people like I-Right-I gives them the reason to stick around and keep posting. Ignore them and carry on with your discussion, eventually they may actually go away.
    To i-r-i and his ilk I ask, why must you resort to name calling? If you disagree with the opinions here so vehemently, why don’t you link some facts and figures to back up your arguement?
    The hate that’s spewing forth from both sides just astounds me. What happened to this country, this world, that we are at each other’s throats for the littlest of things? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even I-R-I, and at some point you just have to agree to disagree.


  171. Ryan Neat says:

    whatever,

    MrWrong doesn’t have a life. It doesn’t matter whether you respond to him or not, he keeps posting. We know we’ve tried. He’s a hateful and vile creature. He posts racist literature from white supremacist websites, and makes regular death threats. Sometimes ‘directly’, and often veiled or wierd freakish ’semi-humor’.

    So if you expect us to have a reasonable conversation with an insane person like this, I’d say you have higher expectations than he’s capable of.

    MrWrong doesn’t have opinions, he has Aryan nation propaganda and hateful threats. He’s a fascist propagandist, and frankly he’s not capable of a rational conversation.

    Even if he has a right to his opinion, his hateful spewing of it on this site doesn’t give him the right to remain unchallenged. Free speech means open opposition, and part of the first amendment is the right to defend lies vehemently. See propagandists don’t have ‘opinions’, they have lies. You may be happy to listen to them, but I’d hope you’d have the guts to defend against lies once you realize that’s what they are. Perhaps this is too much to expect?

    See, he doesn’t just have a different opinion. He is a racist, an elitist and a facist.

    A rational human being would listen as well as talk. I-R-I doesn’t listen or care about what anybody else says, so tell me, why should I care what he has to say (even though he doesn’t have anything valid to say)?

    JE,

    That’s a great observation!

    MrWrong even makes the requisite veiled death threats – very Osama like.

    And when you think about the Olympic Bomber having the same values, and even bombing gay bars – it’s clear we have an american terrorist here. And that’s what everyone should remember about the american reichwing – they’ve murdered through terrorist attacks!

    By contrast, despite the big words used by the reichwing propagandists, no modern left wing group has planted a single bomb or taken american lives through terrorist acts. And yet the FBI watches left ‘leaning’ organizations, and the reichwingers who have killed their fellow americans aren’t even watched or called terrorists! And why? Because the NeoCons that run the government ARE terrorists, and so are the people like MrWrong…

    Hey! Look! Pat Tillman is a punk!

    Baer, who served with Tillman for more than a year in Iraq and Afghanistan, told one anecdote that took place during the March 2003 invasion as the Rangers moved up through southern Iraq.

    “I can see it like a movie screen,” Baer said. “We were outside of (a city in southern Iraq) watching as bombs were dropping on the town. We were at an old air base, me, Kevin and Pat, we weren’t in the fight right then. We were talking. And Pat said, ‘You know, this war is so f— illegal.’ And we all said, ‘Yeah.’ That’s who he was. He totally was against Bush.”

    Another soldier in the platoon, who asked not to be identified, said Pat urged him to vote for Bush’s Democratic opponent in the 2004 election, Sen. John Kerry.

    Comment by Sylvia Zimmer

    Of course not. As a dedicated Left Wing Loser all you can think about is the suffering of other people. Just like Kerry who used Katrina as a vehicle and opportunity to throw a little fund raiser…for himself. By the way, does that idiot still think he’s electable?

    Another soldier in the platoon, who asked not to be identified, said Pat urged him to vote for Bush’s Democratic opponent in the 2004 election, Sen. John Kerry.

    The Article

    Comment by KillCon NOW!

    It’s a terrible story. Making it no less terrible is the revelation that Pat’s favorite author was Naom Chomsky. That is disturbing, but no less disturbing than the revelation that Pat was outspoken about his hatred for George Bush. That is puzzling considering he volunteered but no less puzzling that the reports that he was hit in the forehead by a close grouping of no less than three shots.

    I think we can safely assume Noam Chomsky killed him.

    300,000 progressive people showed up in DC

    comment by Ryan “I can count all my fingers and toes” Neat

    I’d like to hear how the right wing has caused the MSM to pan this GIGANTIC protest. I haven’t seen a story or a picture. You’d think if 300k people showed up it would be news wouldn’t you? Can anybody cite a story written by an actual democrat reporter or “news journalist” that will confirm the numbers being given out by ANSWER and the other communist front organizations?


  192. progressive and proud says:

    Enough already. This idiot has nothing better to do than hang around those who cannot stand him. What does that say about him? He is so obviously alone. He comes here and says he HAS to kick our ass for us? Is that rational? Intelligent? No, it is just low IQ, near retardation-level venom. It doesn’t even make sense.

    His entire argument is Hillary is evil, we hate America, he is a patriot and we aren’t and calling Ryan names that divulge his obsession with gay people. Enough, I say. He is delusional and very very angry. I’m afraid if we keep interacting with him, he may actually do something violent. He is very similar in behavior to Eric Rudolph, no doubt a hero of IRIs.

    He bores me anymore.

    Comment by God Bless Perception

    You must have gone back three pages in Google to find those “MSM” sites. One is a Georgia college site and the other a left wing Austrian paper. WTF don’t you understand about MSM? Where’s the overhead pictures showing 300k people that would cover the entire mall and then some. I’m calling bullshit. Estimates by people that were there are a lot less than 100k but they were right wingers so they don’t count. Where’s the proof of 300k people? Anyone?

    [...] The administration of shame opposes an amendement proposed by Sen. McCain that would require the American military abide by international obligations under the Geneva Convention and “not engage in torture” of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh, and lookee here… it seems that “Doctor” Frist had a hand in trying to shut down legislation designed to set rules for the treatment of prisoners. Golly. What a Hippocratic hypocrite. [...]


  196. Ryan Neat says:

    There’s more proof that there were 300,000 people at the presentation, than there was that bush won the election.

    The fact is that 300,000 people showed up in washington, and only 400 retards like MrFreak even existed in the country who were pilling to put their actions with their big stupid mouths! The republicans are an embarrassment and a pathetic case of delusional self agrandizement.

    As for american MSM, those guys are all corporate republican propaganda whores – they only print what Rove farts…

    And for everyone with a brain (no trolls qualify), the rally only expected, anticipated and planned for 100,000. The 300,000 was a significantly larger result than was an anticipated – yet they handled it brilliantly! Compare this to the smug idiots of the right who were claiming I believe a million? Or some stupid number would show up, only had 400 people! They are such losers!

    Really? Where? Does the NYT, LAT, WaPo anyone agree with you? Where’s the pictures? Let’s see now. You don’t trust any media that doesn’t say what you want to hear? Is that how it works with you guys? If “Bush Is Hitler’s Illegitimate Son” isn’t on the front page that particular rag just isn’t telling the truth eh?

    You people are worse than the conspiracy nutters. Oh, wait…you are the conspiracy nutters….never mind.

    Does this mean they don’t hate our freedumbs? Does this mean that Islam isn’t out to get us? I hope so. Charles “power bottom” Johnson and I had so much fun working the porta johns at the rally on Saturday. I made more money, on account of my “plumbing”.


  200. Ryan Neat says:

    The pictures are on the main page of this site – I guess you’re too stupid to read that as well… The reading comprehension and visual accuity of the rightwing shows that they’re not only DINGbats, but DUMBBats as well..

    Bahahaha…

    You and your buddies could only muster 400 people for a nationwide rally. How pathetic you and your smear machine is!

    And what’s sad is how few papers covered your pathethic little march – clearly the RIGHTWING MSM is covering up your abominable failures!

    Bahahahaha

    How sad you little cheating, lying scumbags look this fine mondy morning!!!

    Comment by Mighty Hermaphrodite

    Have you ever wondered how people like the Princess got that way? Can you imagine how malleable you must be to buy into Leftist politics?

    They are really, really mentally disturbed. They are working hard for the communists that would like to turn us all into slaves of the state and just as hard for the Islamist that would make us slaves to their god. They are going to make it possible for one of the other of our enemies to sneak an atomic bomb into one of our cities and set it off. When that happens they will cheer inside if not right out in the open, just like they did after 9-11.

    What they don’t know is this. When, not if that happens the Constitution will be suspended and the military will with the full backing of congress and the courts find each and every one of these traitors and either kill them or lock them up.

    Leftists are like sex addicted homosexuals. They know it’s dangerous and they know it’s wrong but they will flirt with disaster until it overtakes them. The only good thing about is this. I think it’s going to happen soon and we’ll be around to watch them swing.

    Too bad republicans spent 200 billion on iraq instead of protecting our borders. If this happens it will be because of the ineptitude and mismanagement of you and your insane friends! And how could we be ‘working for communism and islam’. Communism is anti-religious, islam is the opposite – to believe this you are truly schizophrenic! You and your fascist theocrats however did a BANG up job of founding, funding and training AlQueda so that it could someday bomb us. You’re true patriots in the cloth of Benedict Arnold!

    “What they don’t know is this. When, not if that happens the Constitution will be suspended and the military will with the full backing of congress and the courts find each and every one of these traitors and either kill them or lock them up.”

    Actually we’re very clear that you’re all psychotic murderers who’d murder anyone who disagreed with you today if you could. That’s why you invaded Iraq. You guys have become a fascist organization, I’d expect no less from you under those circumstances. Your buddy hitler did the same – why would you be different?

    Leftists are like sex addicted homosexuals. ”

    Enough with the gay references, everyone gets that you’re gay and self loathing… This like sitting through the passion or any other Mel Gibson homosexual flick. You right wing catholics are SOO GAY! Get over it!

    “They know it’s dangerous and they know it’s wrong but they will flirt with disaster until it overtakes them. The only good thing about is this. I think it’s going to happen soon and we’ll be around to watch them swing.”

    The only thing that would be wrong is to allow unpatriotic fascist thugs like you to go unchallenged. Our founding fathers warned us of you and your tyranny.

    “Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”

    Benjamin Franklin quotes (American Statesman, Scientist, Philosopher, Printer, Writer and Inventor. 1706-1790)

    “There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.”

    Charles de Montesquieu quotes (French Politician and Philosopher, 1689-1755)

    “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

    Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes (American Baptist Minister and Civil-Rights Leader. 1929-1968)

    And I reiterate!

    Torture doesn’t work, it’s an unreliable method of information gathering. Only psychotic terrorists and reichwing republicans who fantasize about murder and pain would even consider doing something that sick… And here we are, with psychotic people in power, and psychotic morons coming on this site to defend there perversity!

    The Islamic warlords have contol of their people because they are supported by the sermons in the mosques. The Christian warlords (Bush etc)who control the American public also have the support of their churches and Fox too. Read the Sermon on the Mount and you will get the true meaning of Jesus’ message. No torture allowed there.

    comment by Tony the Tiger

    Wrong Tony. The Islamic warlords have control because they have the guns. The Islamic clerics..not always are warlords….have control of the people because THE PEOPLE BELIEVE! Drop a few trainloads of bombs on their moon god worshiping asses and maybe they’ll start to believe Allah isn’t all that he’s cracked up to be and the clerics don’t have a direct line to God. It’s really that simple.


  209. Elliah says:

    Bill Frist was a surgeon. To those of us in the medical profession, it is rather rare for surgeons to have people skills and, perhaps many other critical thinking skills outside their OR specialty. Why oh why do these kind of people think they can be leaders? Delusion seems to be the order of the day. We need an end to these Dark Ages and it’s time for an era of enlightenment. What got us to this stage, I wonder?

  211. phyllis patience says:

    Wow, I just happened onto this web site because I wanted to see how Frist had dropped the ball again. Is that 1right1 crazy or what. There are radicals and conservatives and then there are those fringe people that are just plain scary because they make absolutley no sense. 1right1 falls into that last category.
    Reading his responses to really important questions that have to be asked if you care about your country makes you want to get him out of the conversation because you can’t discuss anything seriously with that kind of nonsense constantly breaking in. 1right1 constantly takes the converstion into childish territory. It would be really nice if he would just shut up. I’m sure for saying that he will suggest I’m tortured or killed, but still 1right1 just shut up, you don’t bring anything useful to the discussion.

    I have to agree with you especially when looking back at Dr. Josef Mengele record in WWII and orher doctors in history that have done experiments on people without their knowledge. There has been hospitals and doctors in US exposed not counting experiments run on POWs in Japan and elsewhere in the world. Course we also have Serial killers and etc. that are out there also. However, I cannot see anyone especially a doctor backing torture of anyone. Some of these supporters need to be tortured to see if they will admit to treason against the US. I’d bet they would admit to anything to get the pain to stop. Then we could put them on death row also and leave them there thinking they were to be put to death for a year. When released they would have a different opinion.
