Banned from americaforum.net - listed Baptist minister molesters
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 02:17 PM by mouse7
A real wacko right winger claimed there were no evangelical Christian ministers that had been charged with child molestation... so I listed 147 Baptist minister that had been charged with child molestation from this site...

http://www.reformation.com/

I also posted the gif. files of the docs from COINTELPRO on a gay bashing thread from here...

http://www.derechos.net/paulwolf/cointelpro/cointelindex.htm

...and the links showing Richard Mellon Scaife owns 7.2% of Newsmax.

I was sure I wouldn't last a week there after the last mess, but I had to give them enough rope to hang themselves. I didn't want to damn them before they proved themselves worthy of damning.

Now I can say with a clear conscience do not go to americaforum.net. They only want Alan Combes-like liberals who will sit there quietly and absorb their insults and abuse.

12. That guy is a racist piece of shit
Too bad the admin there probably agrees with him, or he would be banned like he should be.

Every post he makes includes some backhanded insult about Arabs. It's really amazing.

17. Is that really what you wrote?
"Israel isn't totally innnocent"? Really? Somehow, based on the way you use the word "Jew" like a curse, I doubt you wrote "Israel isn't totally innocent."

P.S. I'm neither a fundamentalist, nor a nutjob. Nor am I Jewish.

Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 03:03 PM by Kamika
same as when you write fundie christian.

beter yet before you start crying about me writing jew like it's some bad word take a look at the thread

http://americanforum.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=170


Here's a wonderful post he did
---
It's amazing to find this kind of abject ignorance outside of DU, but, then again, that's where you normally post.

The reason there are more Arab civilian deaths is because Arab terrorists hide in populated areas after suicide bombing Israelis. When Israel fights back (I know you like your Jews dead; but NEVER AGAIN), of course more Arabs die. You see, Israelis don't hide their military with the civilian population like the Arabs do.

29. But I didn't write "fundie christian," and never have...
You did. And I'm not crying. Because I have nothing to cry about.

However, you bring up a good point: I'm not familiar with americanforum.net, and I will go check it out, and let you know what I think.

Thanks for the link.

33. Brother, have you been saved.....?
First, I gotta ask you: what do you mean "nobody reacts when someone writes fundie christian in a bad way"?

A "fundie christian" is a Fundamentalist Christian, am I right? A sect of Christianity that has its roots in Protestantism and, more specifically, the Baptist wing of the Protestant lineage (with exceptions, of course). Said Baptist wing has its roots in the American South, in the 20th century, and is characterized by a firm belief in the absolute truth of the Bible, especially the New Testament, and is based on such sacraments as baptism, being "bathed in the blood of the Lamb," and accepting Jesus Christ as your true Lord and Savior. Clinton was a Baptist, I think. Carter was. Maybe LBJ---I just don't know.

Anyway, I'm assuming that "fundie christian" is considerd derogatory, so I guess Fundamentalist Christians would indeed react negatively "when someone writes fundie christian in a bad way." Isn' t the mere writing of "fundie christian," then, in and of itself, considered "in a bad way"?

People tend to be pretty sensitive about stuff like this, in my experience...

Anyway, I went on americanforum, and read your long argument with what's-his-name. That's all I have time to look at, just now, but I'll go back and explore it further. Unlike some on this list, I think it's pretty important to keep up with what's being said everywhere. How else are you gonna know what the fuck is going on out there? So what am I supposed to learn from the back-and-forth you had with what's-his-name and the others? These same arguments have been going on for 30 years---and that's just as long as I've been paying attention. I know it goes back further than that. So okay: Israelis killing innocent Palestinians is wrong. Hell yeah! Palestinians killing Israelis is kinda wrong, but they have no choice. Eh....I don't buy that they have no choice. Sorry.

In any case, a diplomat you are not. Dude, face it! Two angry people with intractible views yelling at each other (even in print) is getting the world nowhere. To the extent that he called you "KKK" and "White Aryan Nation" and all that stuff, well, that's wrong too. I have no evidence you're a member of any of those groups, and I assume that if you were you'd be proud to say it. Most members of those organizations whom I've met certainly are.

I thougt that Sharon's statement about withdrawing a lot of people from the O.T. was a positive step, although how much that has to do with the current bribery scandal he's dealing with now, I can't say. It's easy to be cynical. Indeed, it's hard not to be. That goes for any politician's move.

I might be more open to your arguments if you didn't come across as so vitriolicly angry, lashing out at anyone who argues a point with you.

20. I never wrote a word on Israel.
Have you seen me in the I/P forums here? No. I wasn't discussing the issue there either.

I did defend Jews and Arabs when they blamed Jews and Arabs for the slavery in the US. Yep. They said Jews and Arabs and Africans were the ones to blame for the slave trade. Not Southern whites, of course.

28. Don't cha know...
The poor southern whites were forced at gun point to buy those slaves as soon as they docked by........


THE DUTCH!

So, there you have it... The great Jew/Arab/African/Dutch slave cabal. :silly: So we can't blame the Americans at all, north or south who owned slaves.

36. Westegg, if she uses the word "Jew"
like a curse, I also would doubt she wrote "Israel isn't totally inocent." FYI: the word "Jew" is not a curse and would only be thought so by someone ignorant of what they are talking about.

And now for the apparently obligatory explanations:

1. I am neither a fundamentalist nor a Jew; I am a secular humanist if anything;

and

2. I don't believe I'm a nutjob, but if you want, I can get a note from my shrink on that one! :P

27. I think I'm a masochist
I used to chat for like 2 years on IRC against freepers (before I knew of DU) and it was pretty much


NORMAL PERSON: Don't you think it is disturbing the Bush lied about the reasons for going to war?

CONSERVATIVE: Fück you liberal traitor! Saddam did 9-11! Have you fückin' forgot about 9-11!!!!!!!!

NORMAL PERSON: But even Bush admitted Saddam was not involved in 9-11.

CONSERVATIVE: He was a fückin' tyrant! He gased his own people! Who cares about 9-11! U-S-A~! U-S-A~! We have to stay there as long as it takes, and spend as much money as it takes! Freedom for everyone! U-S-A~! U-S-A~!

NORMAL PERSON: But what about America's poor, and America's deteriorating infrastructure? Remember the blackout last summer? Don't you think the 200 billion could be spent better on America?

CONSERVATIVE: You lazy fückin' bum! You libtards are all the same! Looking for fückin' handouts from the Government!

NORMAL PERSON: So let me get this straight...you are supporting hand outs for Iraqis, but not hand outs for Americans.

CONSERVATIVE: Love it of leave it, liberal fück up! GOD BLESS AMERICA! YOU LIBERALS ARE TRAITORS! U-S-A~! U-S-A~!


Anyway I found DU, left IRc, saw this americanforum thingy and thght it would be fun.. oooohay I was wrong..

I've deleted it from my bookmarks now

7. They didn't. Just banned me.
I listed the three main posts I made last night and this morning. Technically, it could have been any one of them, or some combination thereof.

They just can't handle people who know even a little bit about contructing a debate argument.

37. I'm surprised at this
I guess I haven't found that kind of closed-mindedness in the 3 or 4 forum topics I've observed over there--the ones about the economy. I thought the discourse in those forums was pretty balanced and civil.

Disturbing news, mouse7.

13. That wasn't an issue. I know how to use sources on net.
I was careful about what I posted.

List of Baptist ministers was one paragraph summaries with links to the actual stories.

COINTELPRO article had a free to reditribute notification.

COINTELPRO gif files are government docs, which are all free access.

The two Scaife pieces were all cut and pastes within the same fair use guidelines we use here with links.

allow the advertisement of "americanforum.net" on Democratic Underground.

We really should not be promoting hate against liberals on a liberal forum.

16. yeah, let's not talk about anybody that disagrees with us...
or where they are at.

And if you go to a bar and meet a group of freepers, don't tell anyone where you were.

And if you go to a place of business and see pro-*bush posters, don't tell anyone where you were at.

18. They only want stage props for the promotion of their agenda.
It's them that banned me and don't want to be in the presence of truth, not vice versa.

If they are only willing to have progressives on their site that are willing to absorb abuse and not allowed to speak about the truth, there is no point of allowing them free advetising for their agenda.

23. maybe i am missing something... (confused look sets in)...
As far as i know, the only advertising that they get here is from your (or others) posting.

My comment was referring to the attitude that i perceved pROGRESSVE1 was promotng that we not even refer to their site. if i was wrong in this perception then i apologize.

30. They were allowed to post once here. Promised no bias.
They are a start up, and they were claiming it was going to be a no bias forum.

They sure didn't deliver on that, huh?.

24. Okay, now I'm talking to you...
....And I support what you did. Hey, when someone says "There's no proof. . . " and then you provide the proof, and get banned as a result---you're talking to a closed mind. To say the least.

And Dickie Scaife is wicked. I'm surprised he owns ONLY 7.2% of Newsmax.

To tell you the truth, I've never been to americaforum.net, but now I'm kind of intrigued to go there, if only to see what's the hell's going on.

Giving them enough rope is always the best policy.
