Forget Imus already. He’s toast.

Logically speaking, Imus’ comment about “nappy headed hos” has a 50% percent chance of being correct. Attention: Village Idiot position available. Why do we make a mountain out of a molehill? An idiot’s days are always numbered. An idiot does not speak from truth to linked truth but spouts off from the wisdom of a base bossom. I’m an idiot, you’re an idiot, Imus is an idiot. Everyone plays the fool sometime. Imus now is a jester who has lost his court over a basketball team that lost their court. Don’t you see the irony in it all?

This is pure propaganda of the worse kind, emotionally distressed children being exploited for sensationalism, without context being verified.
Comment by the fly-man

Yeah, those girls posed for a big company so we should run to buy their products. Thats propaganda, you know? So, tell me, who is benefiting from this photo?

I wont go on further cuz I will end up insulting you like you deserve for that stupid comment.

Comment by Juan C

yes I agree. i don’t know what the flyster was trying to get at. the picture is one of little girls crying and covered in blood. now does any really beleive there aren’t currently ALOT of little girls in iraq crying and covered in blood?
frankly, even if the picture itself wasnt taken in iraq, its a very accurate representation of whats going in there now. so its not propoganda… propadanda is pictures which are NOT accurate portrayals..

If our world survives these war monger’s and the bush administration the history book’s will be full of all the genocide they have done by design or neglect..The pictures like in the earlier post and the babies on the cover of this thread will join the photos of our people in N.O. and our vetrans…..People in the future will ask,” where was the outrage”?…Didn’t they learn from Viet Nam.?..How did the american public allow it’s country to be stolen from with in with out even a wimper.?….How could so few evil people control everything and dismantel a once great country.?..When did America loose it’s compus and think they were the chosen and all else should die.?..Are we not all part of one race, the human race.?…What happened to empathy, love, caring for those in need.? Surely it can never be right to kill off entire tribes and generation’s of people for their resourses, can it.? I don’t think so, I DON’T THINK SO..

Today will go down in history as the most killed university student’s…..Sad and dreadful indeed…..What about the hundred’s of thousand’s of children in the world that the bush administration is killing every day?….Don’t they matter, aren’t they just as important, they are to me and they should matter to every one to the point we get off our butt’s and end this madness…Stop the bush war’s now..My heart bleed’s …Blessings…Peace

Re: â€œThe Justice Departmentâ€™s Public Integrity Section is investigating connections between disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the White House, a probe that may be affected by missing White House emails.â€

Unless someone destroyed all the hard drives on all of the computers that were being used, those e-mails still exist. Why is no one talking about subpoenas for the hard drives and having technicians retrieve the deleted files?

Sorry. It came of to me like you were pulling a typical deflect, attack and reverse the victim and offender.

TP frequently, if not consistently, has uncaptioned photos to lead off the Thinkfast thread. And instead of addressing the trauma that school kids in Iraq face on a daily basis, you questioned the authenticity of the photo. That struck me as the deflect, then you raised the issue of irresponsible journalism, which looked to me like attacking the messenger.

Have you availed yourself of the “contact us” link to advise TP that they should caption their photos from now on? I do agree that that would be a good suggestion, as it would preemptively prevent anyone from directing the discussion away from the topic and towards attacking TP’s journalistic integrity.

I understood you, fly-man. I know also that you’re a regular poster here, and a reasonable person, and I understand also the necessity, in this case and others, to add a clarifying link or, at least a footnote to the picture to clarify its origin.

The puns were intended to the people that want to close wilfully their eyes, and our own ones, to the miseries and misdeeds of this, and all, wars, and not to you.

I’ll try now, in subsequent messages, to add two links that didn’t passed this morning.

Just WHEN will pictures like this flood America? America can tolerate this NO MORE. If it were our kids?????????
We need to force change. And put the persons responsible for this horrific crime on trial.

Please flood you blog with “the children”. It would have great effect for change.

P.S. to be fair, those like Whitman argue (explicitly against Hayek) that “a free market situation is probably also doomed to failure if there exist control persons who are not subject to external disciplines imposed by various forces over and above competition.” The lack of these disciplines, says Whitman, leads to “1. Very exorbitant levels of executive compensationâ€¦ 2. Poorly financed businesses with strong prospects for money defaults on credit instrumentsâ€¦ 3. Speculative bubblesâ€¦ 4. Tendency for industry competition to evolve into monopolies and oligopoliesâ€¦ 5. Corruption.” For all of these he provides recent examples from the U.S. economy, which he considers to be in some respects under-regulated, although in other respects over-regulated (he is generally opposed to Sarbanes-Oxley, for instance).

Whitman also believes that an apparently “free” relationship â€” that between a corporation and its investors and creditors â€” is actually a blend of “voluntary exchanges” and “coercion”. For example, there are “voluntary activities, where each individual makes his or her own decision whether to buy, sell, or hold” but there are also what he defines as “[c]oercive activities, where each individual security holder is forced to go along â€¦ provided that a requisite majority of other security holders so vote â€¦” His examples of the latter include proxy voting, most merger and acquisition transactions, certain cash tender offers, and reorganization or liquidation in bankruptcy. Whitman believes that “Corporate America would not work at all unless many activities continued to be coercive.”

I, obviously, disagree.

Briseadh, i didn’t attack the photo. I attacked the way the photo and the context or lack there of it was presented in. Why should I take TP’s word for it that those girls were really from Iraq? Go back and look at the Armstrong Williams situation. His premise was innocent wasn’t it? Why are we having all these issues with the current administration, lack of transparency. A photograph of 2 unidentified children with what seems to be blood on them is supercharged image and should be handled very carefully. As far as me being a darvo, call me what you want but I don’t just take peoples’ words if they have influence over my life, especially an instrument of a influential policy making organization like the CAP. Sorry you’re so willing to accept their presentation at face value.

Here is where the damage could be done, for example I take a screen shot of the whole outline of the thread sans the comments and present it as evidence to support my argument that it was irresponsibly inflammatory on TPâ€™s part? How could they defend themselves? The impression was already made with the viewers.

Comment by the fly-man â€” April 16, 2007 @ 10:50 am

Problem is, it is not irresponsibly inflammatory if it is accurate. Thanks to the link provided in #40 by Evil Spaniard we know that it is a picture of Iraqi school children injured in a bombing in Iraq where they and others were injured while at school. In other words, the photo is highly relevant to the thread. And you have yet to address the topic of the thread: school children living in a war zone are being traumatized daily.
