Talk Host Gallagher: ‘Round Up’ Olbermann, Damon, And ‘Put Them In A Detention Camp’»

Yesterday on Fox News, talk radio host Mike Gallagher said the U.S. government should “round up” actor Matt Damon, “The View” host Joy Behar, and MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann and “put them in a detention camp until this war is over because they’re a bunch of traitors.”

Gallagher was upset over Behar’s comment that Time magazine should have chosen a controversial “Hitler-type” like Donald Rumsfeld as its Person of the Year. Gallagher said Damon should also be incarcerated because he “attacked George Bush and Dick Cheney”; he didn’t explain why he wanted to imprison Olbermann. Watch it:

Earlier this year, Gallagher was one of five conservative talk radio hosts invited to the White House to meet with President Bush.

Full transcript:

GALLAGHER: You know, it’s a little bit ridiculous that we continue to watch these TV stars and movie stars who smear our leaders. I just wonder, Rob, if you’ll think for a moment what our enemies think of seeing TV personalities compare the outgoing defense secretary to Adolph Hitler. I mean, you know, conservatives never get a pass. Strom Thurmond is wished a happy birthday by Trent Lott and the sky falls in on Trent Lott. But Joy Behar goes on national TV and compares a good man like Rumsfeld to the evilest man in the world and nobody, you know, there’s no repercussions for Joy Behar. I think we should round up all of these folks. Round up Joy Behar. Round up Matt Damon, who last night on MSNBC attacked George Bush and Dick Cheney. Round up Olbermann. Take the whole bunch of them and put them in a detention camp until this war is over because they’re a bunch of traitors.

THOMPSON: They’re not traitors, they’re Americans. And you know what the great thing about America is you get to say what you like and you don’t get thrown into detention camps.

GALLAGHER: No, you don’t.

THOMPSON: And that’s what the rest of the world sees. They see free Americans say what they like without having any fear of going to jail. So, if I wanted to compare someone to Hitler or anybody else, Pol Pot, whatever it might be, I have no fear of going to jail because that is what an America is.

GALLAGHER: There’s such a thing as treason, Rob.

THOMPSON: That’s not treason. That’s just political talk and satire and it might be funny at the best, at the least.

    Fu*k you Gallagher. You are the traitor to this country and will pay for your crimes against the United States of America.


  2. druidbros Says:

    I hope these neocon morons keep calling for stuff like this. It only marginalizes them and their views further from the American Mainstream.


  3. VerbalKint Says:

    Gee, I wonder if Gallagher knows that he is projecting when he uses the word “traitor”.


  4. The Other National Anthem Says:

    Are we surprised?
    That’s simply more eliminationist rhetoric from the right. If someone disagrees with you…destroy them!!!


  5. RUCerious Says:

    Mike Gallagher should take a hint from the comedian that he shares a name with, and start smashing watermelons. He might actually find out that he’s good at something, at least!


  6. KikiD Says:

    So…someone compares Rummy to Hitler so we should act LIKE Hitler and lock people up in camps?

    Why doesn’t this asshat move to a country where free speech is considered treason and where people who don’t agree with the government are locked up and leave THIS country to us true Americans who want to protect these rights.

    My God, where does Fox find these people? Is there a loony bin missing a few patients?


  7. n69n Says:

    “JOY BEHAR”?!?!?!?!?!!??!

    good luck with that!!!!


  8. dlet Says:

    GALLAGHER: There’s such a thing as treason, Rob.

    Only if words were declared an enemy of the US and a person aided those words would it be treason. Gallagher has got to get back to smashing watermelons. He really sucks at thinking.


  9. LeisureGuy Says:

    Conservatives really hate the Bill of Rights, since it stands in the way of much of what they want, which is absolute state control.


  10. Raven Says:

    (Caption)
    Gallagher (to himself):
    “When is this Doofus ever gonna’ quit sqawking, I don’t think I can hold it any longer, why oh why did I drink that fourth martini at lunch…………”



  11. Die_Republican_scum Says:

    Dont you stooge liberals get it ?

    America is in a war to protect our freedom, so whe have to take away freedom of speech so citizens can’t criticize our leader.

    We’re only going to lock up all those who express opposing views to the ruling party.

    Thats o.k. right ?

    Its not fascist is it?

    Its not something Hitler or Stalin would have done,,, is it ?


  12. Jorge Says:

    Olbermann is a propagand artist for The Islamists. He never condemns anything they do. He just attacks his own country. He gets happy with every American death in Iraq. He also didn;’t condemn the Holocaust conference in Iran. Just today Ahmadinejad said Israel, The US and UK will disappear! Why no Leftists condemnation of this? Ahmadinejad has pulled off the impossible. He’s united Neo-Nazis, Leftists and Islamists! He’s Hitler,Stalin and Caliph Omar all wrapped up into one!


  13. RealityCheck Says:

    More polarization:

    “Traitors” vs. “war criminals.”
    Withdrawal vs. escalation.
    Impeachment vs. “Trumanesque.”
    Reality vs. “we create our own reality.”

    Woah.

    Here’s the debate:

    Do emboldened Democrats just sit by and watch more neocon and Repugnicant rats abandon the sinking ship or do they go for the jugular, cutting off military appropriations to Iraq and impeach?

    Remember: either way wins. If you just keep Dracula’s coffin in the light, even at night, you don’t need to drive a silver nail through his heart. Do you have to lynch Frankenstein’s monster (like the farmers tried to do) to neutralize him?

    On the other hand, we are dealing with broader principles here than George, the neocons, Republicans, and the evolutionary throwbacks that elected him twice. We are dealing with amending the entire system of checks and balances so that this shit is much less likely to happen again, under the power of EITHER party. This means relentless, ongoing activism, accountability, and transparency directed toward the media, congress, the courts, the executive, and most importantly, ourselves, to minimize charges of hypocrisy.


  14. RUCerious Says:

    YES - All dissention must be eliminated or the terrerists have already won. Freedom is a hard thing. Hard work, rounding up all dissenters and imprisoning them. Duphus.


  15. robert Says:

    Hey, he can say what he wants, they can say what they want. That is the beauty of the US. As long as saying it and doing it are two different things.


  16. Tom Says:

    My God, where does Fox find these people?

    FoxSnooze doesn’t find people like Gallagher. Rupert trolls the streets of Chicago, picks up winos and puts them through his patented training program.


  17. Erroll Says:

    What Gallagher says is reminiscent of the prescient novel by Sinclair Lewis “It Can’t Happen Here”, which Lewis wrote in the 1930s, where he imagines a fascist state taking over the United States in the 1930s, which is aided by a compliant media. As someone said- Howard Zinn?- dissent is patriotic.


  18. S.D. Says:

    And a ‘Sieg Heil’ to you too, Mike Gallagher!

    What a boob! #6 your dead on. Does Mike Gallagher have any idea that NAZI’s and Communists called for locking up “enemies of the state” too??

    Jeez!


  19. June Says:

    Don’t compare a Government official to a “Nazi” or they’ll lock you up in a “Concentration Camp”.

    Nice


  20. The Trucker Pundit Says:

    It’s sad. I remember when Mike was more-or-less a nice guy. As a news/talk Program Director in 2000, Mike came down to Naples, FL to do his show for a week. I was impressed by his friendliness and his attention to his fans.

    I guess, given all the ochre flowing from the more prominent Bushbot parrots, Mike somehow feels a need to be MORE outrageous and fascist than those further up the food chain.

    It’s a pity.


  21. AshenShard Says:

    Someone should point out to people like Gallagher saying things like that are unAmerican and themselves border on the treacherous. Conservatives like Gallagher are so obsessed with World War II that they think they are still fighting it. They view it as our golden age, but fail to realize while they are fighting the ghosts of facist germany, they are advocating facist positions and are themselves reflecting those ghosts.


  22. Squidbilly Says:

    Rummy ain’t “Hitler type,” stupid and foolish for sure.

    Isn’t it odd that the right uses the “Hitler” card all the time but never or rarely apologizes for it????


  23. alp3 Says:

    Gallagher should try shopping. Maybe take Jorge along to carry his bags.


  24. RUCerious Says:

    Facking fuscists!


  25. Juan C Says:

    Some of the last words of the US national anthem are:
    the land of the free. When do these guys listen to what they sing so emotionally-driven?


  26. The Other National Anthem Says:

    #18:
    I believe it was also Sinclair Lewis who said “When fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross”
    Or something of the like


  27. Rick Brannon Says:

    the worse it gets for them, the better it gets for us! thinkprogress rocks!


  28. Dan Says:

    The terrorists are watching The View?!?!?!?!??!

    Holy crap, we’re in deeper trouble than I thought.


  29. Jorge Says:

    alp3,
    You’re a typical Leftwing anti-Hispanic bigot. To me the Left and Racist Right are the same. You guys are just Racists scum.


  30. Gregor Samsa Says:

    it’s a little bit ridiculous that we continue to watch these TV stars and movie stars who smear our leaders.

    This sentence in itself says it all. It is not our government. It is “our leaders”, as if these people didn’t want to live in a democracy but in an autocratic state.

    Throwing people in jail until the “war on terror” is a frightening thought considering the “leaders might never decide it’s over.

    Let’s all join our hands and sing: “All hail our Leaders! Our leaders are infallible and omniscient. Nobody can criticise them and get away with it.”


  31. Raven Says:

    #26….
    They hear “rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air” and get all excited and sweaty………….
    I am so tired of that song as our national anthem.
    I understand though why the oil/timber/drug/weapons companies don’t want us to sing America the Beautiful….


  32. Zooey Says:

    THOMPSON: They’re not traitors, they’re Americans. And you know what the great thing about America is you get to say what you like and you don’t get thrown into detention camps.

    GALLAGHER: No, you don’t.

    Incredible.


  33. alp3 Says:

    Jorge, my son is one quarter mexican, third generation.
    I am left handed, though.


  34. Kevin C Says:

    I was pleasantly surprised that the guy doing the rebuttal at the end of the clip is pretty forceful, unlike the softballs of Alan Colmes, etc. Maybe Fox is adapting (slightly) post election, for their own expediency.


  35. ItsJustKarma Says:

    Rumsferatu doesn’t even reach water to Herman Göring. Then comes Adof Busch supported by Joseph Cheney aka Dick Göbbels. Even though they look slightly different and one could mistake Göring for Cheney and Adolf for Rumsfault.
    But then they didn’t have anything coming close to Georgie.
    Adolf wasn’t probably as deluded as our greatest leader of all times.
    Good to hear that they start to threaten us with the ‘Detention-Camps’ now. Concentration Camps would be more appropriate. They want to concentrate the traitors, the ones who speak out against the fascists in our government.
    Well it would be furthermore helpful to take a$$holes like gallagher and give them lethal injections, because locking away will not change their fascist mind.


  36. chimpeach Says:

    Good! I’m glad to see it’s driving the right-wingers batty. Don’t like that free speech stuff much, do you Gallagher. Suffer.


  37. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    So, Jorge, if a progressive/liberal calls you out on your opinions, he or she is anti-Hispanic? No, we’re just anti-Jorge - we don’t care what your ethnicity, race, creed, or cultural background is. Can you be so sure that those who criticize your views isn’t also Hispanic?


  38. AvengingAngel Says:

    The White House on Winning and Losing in Iraq:

    President Bush, December 20, 2006.

    “We’re not winning, we’re not losing.”

    “I’m not playing the game anymore.”
    Tony Snow, asked whether the U.S. is winning in Iraq, December 18, 2006.


  39. Frank Ranelli Says:

    Gallagher, like most neocons is a bravado-ridden, chest beating, ill-bred fool who is part of are a bunch of blind subservient nationalists over at Fox. They are the same people that wave a flag in one hand, thump a bible in the other and place those inane “support our troops” stickers on the back of their gas-guzzling SUVs they purchased at Seven-Eleven for 99 cents made in China! For the last time, you obsequious, ignorant morons who supports Bush — there is NO ENEMY in Iraq, there were never any WMD’s, Bush lied us into war. It is now a sectarian, civil war and has nothing to do with terrorism. This is not a war, it’s a conflict we caused and is illegal, immoral and is a direct violation of international law. Bush is a war criminal, a warmonger and anyone offering support for this war is the real person indistinguishable from a Hitler or being guilty if treason.

    “To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - — Theodore Roosevelt


  40. Tom Says:

    So in Jorge we have found our wandering troll. I read your comments sir, and you need to re-evaluate your idea of an American. Olbermann is a breath of fresh air for all honest and loyal citizens. He gives his opinion (see sir, we can have an opinion - at least until your kind takes over). His ratings are soaring simply because he tells the truth - AS HE SEES IT). That is how the media is supposed to work. Olbermann has his hands full with the debacle Bush has created. He, I think, focuses his ‘rants’ on topics of great interest to Americans. Our country is being destroyed by our own employees and you are angry Olbermann didn’t condemn something? Are you crazy, sir? We have huge issues to deal with here in the US. With people like you on the street, it seems we have a great deal to accomplish. You have some emotional issues which you need to address, before you attempt to sway anyone with your profound wisdom.


  41. Jorge Says:

    PatrioticLiberalChristian,
    Wjhy do you guys attack Right leaning Americans but not a peep about the Holocaust Denail conference in Iran? Or how about Ahmadinejad staing that soon Israel, The US and UK will disappear. If you truly were patriotic you would be angry with a foreign leader stating your country will disappear?
    Why, why no condemnation of statement from your Islamic buddies?
    Hmmm?

    Alp3 is racist if my name wasn’t Jorge he wouldn’t make the carry bag refernce. That’s a racist statement. I live around Union Democrtas and know their racists mentality. By the way before you go off on your Republicans are racist argument, I agree, there are Racists in both parties, Right or Left. For you to imply there ain’t is intellectually dishonest, ignorant and elitists.


  42. DieNowForPeace Says:

    Hmm, nope. Never heard of this guy.

    You mean Fox has a “radio” show too?

    Good thing I’ve missed it, and will continue to do so.


  43. Raven Says:

    #30…..
    If labels can be applied, then I guess I lean towards the so called “left”. I am also an anglo.
    I live in the great multicultural state of New Mexico.
    I work as a wildland firefighter, on a crew that is predominately Native American, with a lesser percentage of Hispanic firefighters.
    I am the only anglo on the crew.
    Don’t give me any of your hate filled racist spew, thank you very much.


  44. ggibson Says:

    Please please PLEASE DO IT!

    Just like the Spartans these reichwingers have no respect for democracy. Do they have any clue what we would do to them if they tried to start rounding people up? Do they? Al Qeada would be shocked.


  45. Rebel In CA Says:

    ACHTUNG!

    Criticizing Fuhrer Shrub ist verbotten.
    All who do will be put in Aushwitz - West (Gitmo)

    Haail Shrub

    (Gallagher is a goddamn fu@%ing Nazi bred by Joseph Mengle)


  46. rail Says:

    Isn’t this the idiot who used to dress up as a deranged airline pilot? Is he looking for a reason to wear his concentration camp officer outfit?


  47. alp3 Says:

    Jorge,

    You’re hysterical. How’s this…

    Jorge should try shopping. Maybe take Gallagher along to carry his bags.


  48. ItsJustKarma Says:

    Free Speech my a$$.
    Reminds me that there was free speech amongst Nazis in Germany all the way til the end at the ‘Reichs-Kanzlei’.
    Others were not so lucky in expressing there opinion.
    So it’s all good. Just hail our glorious leaders, our brave
    Knights of the Christian Order in domesticating the ‘Heiden’
    world out there. Death to everybody that doesn’t believe
    in Jesus. But then, wait a minute! Who nailed my sweet
    Jesus so merciless on that cross? Who?
    Which leads me to the understanding that religion needs to be prohibited. Into the camps fana-lunatics we give You some crayons to decorate your ‘churches’…
    Don’t get me wrong. I am all for religious freedom. But I am Buddhist and that is not even considered a religion, because it is not based on BELIEVE but on knowledge. That’s the reason why there are no records in history that any Buddhist ever went to war with anybody else. Or camps and sh!t like that.
    I hope the world will all turn to Buddhism away from those FascoReligions that remarkably though all derive from the Old Testimony…
    Well that was my daily contribution to free speech..
    I love you guys - You make me feel home and not alone.
    Please put a good word in for me when they come to pick me up…
    It’s Just Karma


  49. Jorge Says:

    Rebel In CA,
    How about criticing a real enemy, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Like all Leftists you bitch about freedom of speech, but if someone criticizes Mulsims it’s call Hate speach. You Marxists are a bunch of Elitist Rich Hypocrites!


  50. bs Says:

    ’sticking us traitors into detention camps’. gallagher.

    folks he spoke of what is going to happen. what he said came right out of the military commissions act.

    it’s also ironic that he spoke of the very thing to do to americans that we accuse this administration of being guilty for.

    WTF?

    criminals tell on themselves and are to f. stupid to know when they show their asses. true colors are coming out. zionist owned, nazi ran.

    f. you and you and you. and you gallagher get back on your knees where you belong and plug the hole you spew from.


  51. Jorge Says:

    alp3,
    You’re just an ignorant Blue-collar racist Democrat.


  52. ItsJustKarma Says:

    #45
    That’s some relief for me right there! :-)


  53. Jeff Mack Says:

    My goodness gracious! Who are these people who want to put us in jail for free speech? WHAT THE F! Where is the press? HELLO! We are the media!
    Stevens be dammed. The “tubes” are the only truth! Well, except for John Stewart and Steven Colbert.


  54. alp3 Says:

    Thanks, Jorge! You’re a charmer, I’ll give you that.


  55. Jorge Says:

    bs,
    How can one be a Zionist and a NAZI? Explain to me that. The Nazi’s are your allies along with the Muslims against us evil Neo-Cons, Zionists Christian-Right, Conservatives and Libertarians. Why attack your Nazi buddies?


  56. DieNowForPeace Says:

    TOTAL HYPOCRITICAL BUSH*T

    Traitors? As in leaking confindential memo’s, eh Shrub?
    As in limiting free speech, habeas corpus and constitutional rights, eh Shrub?
    As in selling the blood of your own people for the profits of your supporters, eh Shrub.
    The list is a LONG ONE.

    Traitors INDEED.


  57. ggibson Says:

    Why, why no condemnation of statement from your Islamic buddies?
    Hmmm?
    Comment by Jorge

    Maybe because we dont give a rats ass what some religious extemist nut case in Iran says about us? He tries it we will nuke his ass. See we are not wussies because we dont need to be. YOU on the other hand are a wussy even though we could kill every human being no earth with our nukes. So who CARES what they SAY…. If they TRY IT then we will get mad. Just like in WWII. Japan tells us to stay out of the pacific and we dont care. They attack us and we destroy them. Same with Hitler with a slight twist because the Eurpopeans were always killing each other anyways.

    The BIG difference I see here is a bunch of SAUDIs were brought up to hate Americans and Zionists and their clerics preach to them to hate us and then they fly planes into our buildings and our president bush does NOTHING to them. NOTHING. In fact worse than nothing. He misguides us into Iraq and there by PROTECTS the SAUDIs. TRAITORS all of you that supported deflecting America away from Saudi Arabia by distracting us with Iraq. Republicans put a dagger into all of our backs with that one decision.


  58. Juan C Says:

    If you truly were patriotic you would be angry with a foreign leader stating your country will disappear?
    Comment by Jorge

    What about a foreign leader telling you what is the kind of government you should have or worst yet, forcing by weapons to do it? First case: Bush about Russia. Second case: Bush about Iraq.

    Iran hasnt invaded any country. Israel has and US has so STFU. And Im not a racist, idiot.

    Patriotism is a method of control. You are a great example.

    Why, why no condemnation of statement from your Islamic buddies?
    Cuz they are not invading sovereign countries. When they do, I will the first one to condemn them. BTW, you are a disgrace to the hispanic race.


  59. upside00 Says:

    I wonder if BaBa WaWa put him up to this? Only way to boost the View ratings …. short of adding Rosie O’ to the show.


  60. Willy Says:

    What Mike Gallagher really means: “To stop people (the left) from calling us (the right) Nazis, we (the right) need to behave like Nazis.”


  61. ItsJustKarma Says:

    #Jorge: Go and Cheney Yourself.


  62. Bluedog49 Says:

    Olberman’s ratings have soared. He’s asking for a big raise. His ratings couldn’t have gone up if Americans didn’t like what they were hearing. Does that make his viewers terrorist sympathizers?

    We should keep in mind that one of the principles of classic conservatism is that the people don’t know what’s good for them and a special class of leaders needs to do what’s necessary in spite of the people. In other words, classic conservatism is classically unamerican.


  63. Jeff Mack Says:

    They are linear thinkers. We have the complexity of intelligence. Could someone please give W a blow job so he could be impeached!


  64. cy Says:

    Gallagher misspoke. He should have said “put them away in a mental institution”.

    Sure these left-wing wackjobs have every right to say what they want — but it doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about.


  65. Jorge Says:

    Juan C,
    Your a stinling race traitor. I know about my heritage more than you. I’m not influenced by Anglo Leftists like you are. I’m proud of my Race and heritage. You low life loser. Go to Iran if they’re so peaceful.
    Your ignorant rat brain seems to have forgotten that in 711 the Muslims invaded and tried to exterminate Hispanis. They also attack our Sicilian cousins. So they have commited agression. Go move to Iranhg you ungrateful screwball. They should deport jerks like you. You scum.
    To eres basura pendejo!


  66. Tom Says:

    Bluedog49 is wise! He says it perfectly.


  67. RUCerious Says:

    Hey - Jorge, I thought you were done here?
    Go Cheney yourself!


  68. Jorge Says:

    The Left is un American. They believe in telling people what to think because they claim to know better. If someone has a contraian view they are called names. Bludog, you’re just a typical elitist.


  69. Juan C Says:

    Oh, now, I see who you are, Jorge.
    You are Emperor Palpatine and other names…the same idiot who says he stabbed a Muslim guy for some crap and he was proud about it.
    Good to know, so I dont waste my time with you.

    In my country, pendejo means kid. So, I guess I´ll say thanks.


  70. Larry from C Says:

    I thank Time magazine for naming me person of the year. But I have to decline the award and give it to the person who truly deserves it….Keith Olberman!

    Keith Olberman is clearly man of the year. The only newsperson on television brave enough to RISK his reputation, RISK his job and RISK his life by calling Bushco the cowardly criminals that they are.

    Who can know for certain how much Keith’s “Special Comments” contributed to the Democrats victory in November. Keith showed his fellow broadcasters that you don’t have to be afraid to speak the truth. Unfortunately, few have followed his brilliant lead.


  71. upside00 Says:

    #63

    You are so right! Keith O was one of the first to challenge Dubya and the other Chickenhawks and helped us all in the ‘06 elections.

    And I bet Bill O’Cryly is behind all this. He just hates it when anyone calls bullshit on him so often. How are those Faux News ratings working out for all you Repugs? They might be about as low as Dubya’s support for Iraq.


  72. AshenShard Says:

    Jorge or Jigga or whatever you are

    you keep opening your mouth, so to speak, and prove how dumb and racist you are. if you want to keep digging, go right on, otherwise i suggest you think before you type.


  73. Mark Says:

    Jorge is simply another Neocon Who is missing the point. He screams why are you not going after our enemies and has an easy one in the president of Iran. First is Iran our enemy simply because Bush said so? I know we have had great differences in the past, however they have done nothing in the present to harm us. What they are doing is simply not doing our presidents bidding. also why do we care about Israel? what strategic purpose do they serve for the US? Our strategic interests in the mid east lay in the oil reserves annd the last I heard, Israel has no reserves. I knwo they are supposed to be a beacon of democracy in the mid east and a military threat to keep the arabs in line from time to time, but they really hhave little strategic value for the US. But Like I said Jorge is missing the point. When the White House or republican party is being criticized it is because we are defending America. I still believe in our country and want our constitution placed back into effect. When the leadership of our country acts unilaterally they say it is in the best interests of our country. But destroying our civil rights at home and our reputation abroad is never in our best interests.

    Also Jorge, when you use the term islamists, you are (like the presidennt and the right wing media) lumping together many differing groups of culturally different people wiith diifferent agendas and goals. The Sunni’s and Shiites in Iraq have little in common with each other and little in common with Al Queda. Hammas and the PLO have little in common with AlQueda or the Iraqi insurgency. Take a little time and learn about what you are talking about. And realize that the homogenous terms Islamist, Arabs, Jihadist do not apply to everyone you annd the right wing label as such.


  74. Jake Says:

    Um, is this what’s called “irony”?

    Hey, they said we have a violent relgion!
    Execute them!

    Hey, they said we are like Nazis!
    Put them in concentration camps!


  75. Jorge Says:

    “You are Emperor Palpatine”
    Isn’t that the dud from Star Wars Juan? Not are you a race traitor but think I’m a Star Wars character! Lol! Your Mom could,ve done this society a favor, aborted you as a fetus!


  76. Mark Says:

    In other forums the question is frequently asked, how can these people hate each other after hundreds of years. In post #66 jorge seems to have taken his hate back to the 8th century. Perhaps he can explain how he has managed to hate for 13 centuries?

    If someone has a contraian view they are called names. Bludog, you’re just a typical elitist.

    And if someone has a contrarian view, you and your ilk want to throw them in detention camps. Jorge, you’re just a typical fascist.


  78. Gregor Samsa Says:

    I know about my heritage more than you. I’m not influenced by Anglo Leftists like you are. […] Your ignorant rat brain seems to have forgotten that in 711 the Muslims invaded and tried to exterminate Hispanis.
    Comment by Jorge — December 20, 2006 @ 3:04 pm

    I’ve seen this troll and his rants before. This is the so-called Latin guy whose “idols” are both Che Guevara and Pinochet, at the same time.

    He continuously changes his moniker, but always comes back to the same themes: Anglo influence (as he calls everyone else “racist”), some past wrong done to Spaniards (as if that has anything to do with modern-day Latin Americans), and absolute non sequiturs (like “go to Iran if they’re so peaceful”)

    There is no reasoning possible with Jorge/Emperor Palpatine.


  79. Mary Poplins Says:

    Jorge I am a true American and I will speak out against Bush any time I feel like it. This is America and we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

    Bush was wrong from the first day he got in office. He start an illegal war in Iraq for OIL, OIL, OIL. This guy Gallagher is just mad that the Dems are going to take over in Janurary and can start an investigation of all the wrong the Corrupt Republicans have done for the past 6 years. Maybe we will be able to impeach Old Bushies, Cheney and his Admin.

    They should put this Gallagher in a Concentration Camp. There is a double standard one for the Republicans that can say anything they want but the Dems cann’t say anything bad about this admin. I don’t like what the conservatives say anyway. They are very rude and think they are better than everyone else.


  80. Nat Says:

    Jorge, There is a mistake in your post. I’ll fix it for you.

    The [right] is un-American. They believe in telling people what to think because they claim to know better. If someone has a contraian view they are called names.

    You are just another liberal who advocates a muslim takeover to America.


  82. Jorge Says:

    Mark,
    Your ignorant. All those groups aghave the same goals, to establish an Islamic Caliphate that will rule the world. Read their writings. They themselves say it. wether it be Hizballah, Al-Qaeda the Somolian Islamic Courts, Iran, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. They’re all influences by the Islamic Brotherhood Ideology.
    Iran is our enemy ever since they took our embasy hostage in 1979. Also their leader is calling for our destruction. Obvious you’re a Leftists ostrich with their head in the sand.


  83. AshenShard Says:

    #74 Mark

    What is funny about the president of Iran is that he is so like Bush … he is an extreme conservative, uses bombastic rhetoric to stir up his base, uses divisive politics to cause divisions among different groups and uses the good and evil simplification of world events. both would rather attack a symbol rather than work at fixing the core of the problem.

    Personally, I just laughed at it. It’s fringe ridiculousness that is no threat to me whatsoever. I mean, David Duke, orthodix Jews, and Mahmoud Ahmedinijad all shaking hands and speaking at a conference about holocaust denial. That’s pure comedy. Why, does that scare you? Are you afraid?

  89. Larry from C Says:

    #63, Blue Dog…this is attributed to Leo Strauss…the “Straussian” philosophy.

    The belief is that the people are not smart enough to make their own choices and guide their own democracy. The decisions need to be made for us by wise, wealthy kings. So they let us pretend we live in a democracy. And Straussian philosophy instructs the Kings to lie to us, and keep unnecessary details from us. (Sound familiar: WMD, Spread Democracy etc.)

    In their generosity, the let us pretend that we the people actually shape this democracy. But they make the decisions for us. Because only they are smart enough to know what to do. It is a smug philosophy practiced by arrogant a-holes who clearly have mental problems that cannot be solved.


  90. revenuer Says:

    Wow, Jorge meltdown! Cool! Racebaiting SOB. BTW, Jorge, since you didn’t really go away:

    1. GWB created the situation that let Ahmadinejad ascend to power in Iran. The moderates had been gaining political power in Iran for years, until GWB included Iran in his “Axis of Evil”.

    2. Ahmadinejad is only getting such wide publicity now because many in that part of the world are rightly afraid that our troops are going to invade their country next, and are looking for a leader that will stand up to GWB.

    3. The dialogue that opened between our countries (US and Iran) after 9/11 was a positive force in reducing terrorism, until the “Axis of Evil” remark, and the invasion of Iraq. Did you somehow miss the news this week of the White House blocking publication of an Op-Ed by a respected national security expert who wanted to detail this very thing?

    In sum, GWB helped make Ahmadinejad the famous world player he is today. And, no, I’m not being racist to criticize your views, jerk.


  91. Jorge Says:

    Mary Poplins,
    You advocate sending Gallagher to concentration camp. So you’re a Hypocrite. We can be called Nazi’s but aren’t allow to call you guys traitors?
    Why don’t you condemn Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that has call for the destruction of Israel the US and UK. Why doe you on the Left that attack Religipous peoiple support a religios nut like this one?

    Gregor Samsa ,
    Who’s Palpatine? I mean what does a Sith lord has to do with this discussion. Also If I was the dude that played him I would be loaded with money and would move to Australia.
    Latin America is an offshoot of the Roman culture of Spain/Portugal/Italy.
    You’re obviously an ignorant naive fool.

    “This is the so-called Latin guy whose “idols” are both Che Guevara and Pinochet, at the same time”
    I don’t care for either of them and am glad they’re both dead.
    I’ve never posted here before so you’re making a fool of yourself!


  92. Tom Says:

    Jorge says: The Left is un American. Hmmm. Seems like lately more and more Americans are starting to wake up from the kool-aid induced coma administered by BushCo. I think that is what makes Jorge so mad. His mutual admiration society is shrinking so fast his head is spinning. No sir, the left is not un American - you are. Being as frightened as you appear makes me think that if the year was 1776, we would have a hard time convincing you that Britain is being unfair and we need to break away to start our own country. I can imagine you telling people to honor the king and not say anything bad about the monarchy. No, to you, giving an opinion is tantamount to treason. I am almost sure we would be eating sheppards pie and warm beer if you had your way during the creation of our fine country. With all your anger, I would hope you could channel it properly by travelling to the ME and tell your story walking.


  93. wiley crispus Says:

    Democratic stance: Come on over Islam.We love you.We are one big happy diasy picking bunch,we won`t hurt you,we love you.

    Islamic stance:They are going to virtually give us the country,if we have the country we will establish an Islamic state under the direct supervision of the Ayatollah.These fools cannot see the ill of their ways.We must move now during a democratic govt rule.The infidels must die wherever they are found.

    Now all those dems that helped them over here and they get setup and bring this nation down,what will you do when your head is about to be cut off?I was for you,I supported you.SLICE.

    Wake the hell up you freaks.How about you let an Islamist come live at your house and the states that don`t want Islam in it just secede from the union.That way each individual state can be mullah run.

    Something tells me there would be a mass exodus toward the southern states that Northeasterners just abhore.It would be better than dying wouldn`t it?

    Some freak out there is going to say no.I can feel it.

  95. Rebel In CA Says:

    Moron Jorge Pay Attention

    em>”How about criticing a real enemy, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
    Mr. Ahmadinejad has not yet been declared an enemy. The issue is not criticizing enemies but American citizen’s with the god-given right of free speech and freedom of expression

    Like all Leftists you bitch about freedom of speech.
    I don’t bitch about it, I PREACH IT, and I I WILL DIE TO PROTECT IT

    but if someone criticizes Mulsims it’s call Hate speach.Actually it is hate speech whether its a Jew, Muslim, gay or whatever that is not WASP

    You Marxists are a bunch of Elitist Rich Hypocrites!
    This is paradox. A true Marxist cannot be rich, and a rich guy does not believe in Karl Marx. As for me, I believe there are major flaws in Karl’s theories.

    Suck on whatever neo-con dick you like, at the end you will learn it was nothing but a dildo cause them neo-cons ain’t got no balls or poles.


  96. oxillini Says:

    Wow, just wow. Jorge has some serious anger and reading comprehension issues to work out.

    Gallagher should try shopping. Maybe take Jorge along to carry his bags.

    1. GWB created the situation that let Ahmadinejad ascend to power in Iran. The moderates had been gaining political power in Iran for years, until GWB included Iran in his “Axis of Evil”.

    Actually, not really. Ahmadinejad mainly ran on an anti-corruption ticket. The so-called Iranian moderates also engage in a lot of good-ol-boy cronyism in government and business. Anti-Americanism was actually less of an issue. See also: “all politics is local”.

    Also, Ahmadinejad is different from Bush in one important way: whatever he says (even allowing for deliberate mistranslations), he is NOT the commander-in-chief of his armed forces. That role is the Supreme Jurisprudent’s.

Maybe take some time off during the holidays and get your thoughts together. I can arrange for everybody posting today to return, say on the 5th of January.

    the leaders of america have a nazi ideology to dupe the america folks to achieve the zionist mission. how else do you get the majority of american folks thinking that the ‘turrhists’ are coming. hitler(pol,stalin) rings a bell—FEAR. and that brings WAR which feeds the elite and israel. the military commissions act? patriot act? martial law? why are we at war with the muslim nation? get their assets, oil. who has the biggest problem with the muslim nation? israel and it’s zionist leaders. they want all their land, their oil, their extermination. the zionist don’t say it they just bid our government to do their dirty work. and we can say nothing about it since we are in debt to them. isn’t it ironic that gorgy says, today, we paid off half of the debt, really? since we owe israel and this is israels war of course we paid off half the debt. you scratch our back we scratch yours. zionist are out to rule the world with MONEY, POWER AND CONTROL. they are shrewd business people. nazis are hateful and have hatred to those who think are less than them(racism,prejudice, anti…..) and kill to get rid of them. think about it, the two(zionists, nazi) work well together.

    wiley crispus - Sir, are you being serious? Bush wants everybody to fend for themselves? Where on earth did that thought come from? So bush wants Halliburton or Brown and Root to fend for themselves? With no-bid, cost added, uncompetitive contracts? Really? Tax cuts for the very rich? Huge payouts to the energy companies (remember cheneys ’secret’ meetings?). I guess you are correct in one way: as long as Bush dislikes you, you do have to fend for yourselves. If you are ‘part of the team’, then just tell me what you want. As an aside, you really should read up on how W amassed his fortune. Sir, it was the definition of ‘hand outs’ - Oil wells, baseball teams, Pappa Bush, etc…Really sir, when you write things for the entire world to read, wouldn’t it be better to not have the world think you are an uninformed person?

The Communists aren’t a credible threat anymore (although we have the occasional throwback trolls who come around calling us Communists when they’ve decided that “liberal” has lost its punch) and it’s not time yet to start hating the Jews again, publicly. Fascists have to have targets for their pent up hatred and apparently Muslims are it.

    It’s hilarious to see these right-wing clowns getting worked up into a lather over a religion that comprises less than 1% of the U.S. population. Look out, Jorge! There’s a Muslim sneaking up behind you!!! Better check the closet and under the bed before you go to sleep tonight.

    Anybody remember that old Monty Python bit with the anti-Communist letter writer complaining about seeing Communists everywhere?

    “I can’t even take a bath without six of them communists jumping in with me, and Brezhnev and Kosygin in my kitchen now, eating my wife’s jam! Ohhh, they’re climbing up my legs, I can see them peeping out of my wife’s blouse!”

For the last time, you obsequious, ignorant morons who supports Bush — there is NO ENEMY in Iraq, there were never any WMD’s, Bush lied us into war. It is now a sectarian, civil war and has nothing to do with terrorism. This is not a war, it’s a conflict we caused and is illegal, immoral and is a direct violation of international law. Bush is a war criminal, a warmonger and anyone offering support for this war is the real person indistinguishable from a Hitler or being guilty if treason.

    Also, Ahmadinejad is different from Bush in one important way: whatever he says (even allowing for deliberate mistranslations), he is NOT the commander-in-chief of his armed forces. That role is the Supreme Jurisprudent’s.

    Which is precisely why Bush is currently much more dangerous than Ahmandinejad. Oh yes, and we also have nuclear weapons and Bush has his finger on that trigger.

    I have to confess that it’s off of an LP. One of their first. Which I bought brand new.

    Hmm, which LP? I bought Matching Tie and Handkerchief ‘brand new’, so if you’re worried about subtly confessing your age, don’t worry about it!

    To all them who called themselves conservatives and want to put people in concentration camps for express their opinions. You apparently don’t know you history. It is in countries with dictatorships that do put people in prison for express their opinions. Some of those governments were Fascist or communists such as Germany during WW2 and China which still imprison people for their views . To all you who called yourselves conservatives you not in any way conservative. What you really are fanatics. The real conservatives in the past would not agree with you in any form or fashion. In fact many would call you crazy or plain nuts. So I will suggest that you take the time and study the history of not only this great country but of the world in general. And stop all this stupid ranking. Because it is obvious that you don’t know what you talking about. It is only now that some want to take our freedom away in order to protect not this country but one individual (GWB) who has earn the criticism he is getting.

    Sort of like how leftists want to subject global warming skeptics to Nurmemburg trials.
