  2. Republicans are the Fear and Smear Party says:

    this comment is as disgusting as the commentator.


  3. unbelievable says:

    I think he’s projecting again…


  4. Fed the Fcuk Up! says:

    We’ve murdered a few hundred thousand of them for no legitimate reason other than to steal their resources, and they’re the savages?

    Riiiiiiiiggggghhht.


  5. GSD says:

    Well, I guess Fix has found their new demographic now that the US market of knuckle-dragging Foxholes has peaked.

    Shocking. What a complete idiot.

    But I think the majority of FOX sheep already believe that anyone not born in the U.S. are sub-human.


  7. WaltTheMan says:

    We savage them and they’re the savages? Give me a break.


  8. Bluedog49 says:

    You know, Gibson sounds like somone Bush might nominate for a diplomatic position at the State Department.


  9. Your Conscience says:

    Vapid Rape-Public-Cans displace accountability onto the victim and simultaneously dehumanize them? Say it isn’t so.


  10. Doing Nuance says:

    A lot of Wingnuts see it that way. We did Iraq a favor, handed them Democracy on a silver platter and they mucked it up. This is the excuse for the mess over their, so America is balmeless. But they need to think about what would happen if all law & order, all law enforcement was just wiped away from the streets of America. Instant mass looting, followed by mass violence. Just like Iraq.


  11. Gerald Gibson Jr says:

    If Imus had said this he would be fired!

    Gibson has got to go!


  12. ForTruth says:

    Stupid pukes. We knew Saddam was keeping a bunch of shit under control. And now its out of control.

    I don’t buy it. The white man always felt that way about it.


  13. Patrick1 says:

    “knuckle-dragging savages from the 10th century”

    Of course they are! They’re on the other side of the world, have brown skin, and are non-Christian. They aren’t even human if you ask me, why should it matter if they die?


  14. SuperEdo says:

    Wow, we win the battle for the hearts and minds of the people of Iraq by letting them know they don’t have hearts and minds. It’s brilliant.


  15. Abby says:

    And yet, on the other hand, Gibson thinks we can bomb democracy into them.

    So what is it, Gibson? Are they capable of receiving the democracy we bomb unto them or are they savages beyond all hope of a civilized form of government, Gibson?


  16. Buck Fush says:

    Oh, of course Patti 1″ has met some Iraqis, so he would have first hand knowledge of them. You ignorant scum sucking bottom feeding white trash a$$hole. I do believe from your posts that you are indeed the 10th century, mmmm, make that 6000 BC knuckle dragging subhuman scum.

    Wow, I like that one, felt great too.

  17. Badmoodman says:

    Gibson is my favorite comedian on Fox News.


  18. xenon says:

    I think we all know who the “savages are”…


  19. not impressed with the U.S. says:

    why should it matter if they die?

    Comment by Patrick1

    Well, I don’t know about “they” dying. But you on the other hand, I could’nt care less!!!!!


  20. barrisj says:

    The HAIR, the HAIR, always the HAIR! Bet servicing it costs Gibby more than $400 a throw.


  21. kasinca says:

    Knuckle Draggers watch FAUX Noise Channel so I guess he would know.


  22. Fools on the Hill says:

    Abu Ghraib showed us who the knockle-draggers are.


  23. Raven says:

    The problem for the current Crusaders in the Middle East, is that the natives of those lands have memories which reach back to the 10th century.
    They remember every invader who has trooped through their fields pillaging, raping and plundering.
    The USA is just one more.

    Patrick1:

    “Of course they are! They’re on the other side of the world, have brown skin, and are non-Christian. They aren’t even human if you ask me, why should it matter if they die?”

    I’m assuming that you’re joking. But, based on your previous posts on other threads, it’s quite possible that you indeed are serious. If so, what you said is despicable, and puts you on the same level as the worst elements of those Muslims who really DO want to kill all of us. This is not true of the majority of Muslims, no matter how much you believe that to be so.

    I see that another poster has asked if you know any Iraqis. Well, I do. One of them was doing a residency at the University of Arizona College of Medicine when I worked at the library there. I know an Iraqi couple who are film makers. Indicidentally, one of them is Sunni and the other Shia. I’ve also met other Iraqis. They are ordinary humans like us. The filmmaking couple are very gentle souls and I can only imagine them killing anyone if their lives or their children’s lives were threatened.

    If you were serious, Patrick, you need serious help. Please get it.


  25. Heyzeus says:

    Patrick1 is one of the most virulent and disturbing posters on this site.


  26. Topper Harley says:

    And for Christ Sake John Gibson, don’t they have a dental plan at Fox.
    Christ, my 12 year lab has better teeth. Fuck, the Marlboro Man had better teeth.


  27. Uncle Ho says:

    the United States invaded and occupied a country with no justification whatsoever except to steal their oil. A war of aggression….just like Hitler. It appears that Americans are the savages.


  28. Heynow says:

    Racist Mush-mouth.


  29. Topper Harley says:

    #25

    That’s what happens when you mix PBR with Christ.


  30. Uncle Ho says:

    patrick1 has just confessed to being a member of the Nazi party.


  31. joe says:

    Gibson conveniently forgets that, for two years our invasion, Iraqis weren’t killing each other. Even as the Al Qaeda terrorists we let into their country pursued a ferocious campaign of atrocities against Shiite civilians in an attempt to goad people like al Sadr into taking revenge against Sunnis, and thus spark a civil war, “10th century knuckle-dragging savages” like Ali al-Sistani practically killed themselves trying to hold the country together by their fingertips. Finally, with the bombing of the mosque, it became impossible to hold back the Shiites.

    If Josh Gibson thinks he wouldn’t pick up his gun and start killing black people if a black terrorist group had been slaughtering his neighbors for two years, he’s deluding himself.


  32. joe says:

    Oh, come on, that’s obviously someone posing as Patrick 1.

    I mean, he didn’t even insult liberals in that post.


  33. Heyzeus says:

    Christ, git me another one will ‘ya?
    And git that Daryll feller on the horn too, I’m gonna give him a piece of my mind, let me tell ya………..


  34. Scott says:

    “knuckle-dragging savages from the 10th century”

    takes one to know one mr gibson

    ahhh, but the dems are emboldening the enemy????

    someone explain that to me PUHLEEEEEZ!


  35. WaltTheMan says:

    What the neocons ignore is that the Euphrates Valley (Basically Baghdad to the ignorant) is the cradle of civilization. It is from this area that the art of writing, the concepts of the calendar, astronomy, and mathematics arose 1600 years before any other spot on Earth. Their mathematics was base 12. That is the reason for our 12 hour clocks, 12 month years and 360 degree circles. As an aside, it gave us the seven day week when the Essenes added a day of rest to the six day week when they wrote Genesis.


  36. Patrick1 says:

    God Bless America, Only.


  37. Bernard Quatermass says:

    “What the neocons ignore is that the Euphrates Valley (Basically Baghdad to the ignorant) is the cradle of civilization.”

    I think Patrick1 would disagree, and argue that the cradle of civilization (which is a mouthful of syllables — big, scary words! — for Patrick1, mind you) is somewhere in Iowa and can be circumnavigated in 2 hours in a pickup truck, and is moreover hovered over and protected by a big-bellied, loveable loudmouth C&W singer named God, who has a big white beard and makes sure all the white folks gits to heaven. Praise be to the Militant Baby Jesus!


  38. Bernard Quatermass says:

    Patrick1 is one of the most virulent and disturbing teenagers on this site.


  39. joe says:

    ‘uncovered?’


  40. Karim says:

    Gibson is a shameless . He needs to go.


  41. Lee says:

    It’s Fox News, big surprise.

    The network that Patrick1 & Frank watch 24/7, and nod their heads in agreement with every nazi who infests that channel!


  42. JPark says:

    Gibson is talking about OTHER people being knuckledraggers? This guy is the biggest neanderthal on Fox and that is saying a lot.


  43. TerrytheTurtle says:

    Patrick1 – much better in the original German, my friend, you can march to it…. links, rechts, links, rechts


  44. Squidbilly says:

    So does that mean they won’t take up democracy? Then why the F*ck is Gibson’s “support” for the war based on?

    Just to kick some Iraqi ASS because they are linked to 9/11???

    What an idiot.
