If Churchill's speech is "repugnant", characterize Limbaugh, Boykin,...
,...O'Really, Rove, DeLay, Frist, Robertson, Savage, shit I could go on and on and on about the number of so-called "conservatives" whose speech has been beyond "repugnant" since they have ALL advocated BREACH OF HUMAN RIGHTS LAWS!!!

The neo-fascists are imposing their will.

Time to kick their asses!!!!

1. they're not repugnant, they're "provaocative"
and that's why the same guys who bash curchill (o'reilly, scarborough) have no problem inviting ann "my only regret with tim mcveigh..." coulter and michael "get aids and die" savage on their shows on a regular basis

4. They INVOKE hatred and division.
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 08:48 PM by Just Me
Why aren't THEY being hung out to dry?

Why aren't THEY being threatened with being fired?

Why aren't THEY being challenged for their hate-spewing views?

WHY AREN'T THEY BEING TARGETED?

Do THEY ever do ANYTHING that helps to advance a society at peace with itself?

Do THEY ever do ANYTHING to remedy conflict rather than INFLAME CONFLICT?

Do THEY ever advocate a "melting pot"?

WHY AREN'T THE "LIMBAUGHS" IN THIS COUNTRY, WHO ADVANCE CONFLICT AND HATRED AND PERSECUTION, THE TARGET OF INDIGNANT "COMPASSION" AND FIRM PRINCIPLES AND MORALS?

5. Actually, he is delivering facts which threatens both the corporatists,...
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 08:58 PM by Just Me
,...and the brainwashed dream (via intentional psy-ops) imposed upon innocent victims (the American people).

The predators are pissed,...the victims are stunned.

"Reality" is a very, painful event,...and it will be vehemently attacked. Ask any victim of violence or addict or common human being who clings to the comfort of a status quo. Ask any "predator" who attached to the luxury of imposing will,...maintained POWER.

7. Sorry. Churchill is a fucking IDIOT!
He makes us all look like fucking idiots, just like him.

The 9/11 VICTIMS are just like the Nazis? Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. Yeah, first amendment, blah fucking blah.

He will be the POSTER FUCKING BOY for Dems in 2008.

He's as big a douchebag as the Pukes are. So fucking flame me. I've been looking for a reason to leave here anyway.

9. Have you actually read Churchill's writings or are you basing this
from what the so-called Liberal media is saying about him?

13. Sounds like something that came straight from the box.
He did NOT, NOT, NOT call all Americans "Nazis".

Limbaugh advances anti-Americanism among and between Americans every single freakin' day. Limbaugh calls Americans "commies" and "socialists" and "fags" and so forth every single day!!! But, THAT'S okay.

Whereas, the professor provided facts pertaining to U.S. foreign policy. But, THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE?

Crazy, crazy, crazy country.

People really should TRY to be proactive rather than emotionally reactive. Otherwise, the "reactors" are going to be duped and manipulated all the time.

15. You miss his point entirely. Read and learn.
Churchill's remark about people who were killed on 9/11 being "little Eichmanns" was not saying that they were "Nazis". What it was a reference to was the work of Hannah Arendt, specifically "Eichmann in Jerusalem" and "The Banality of Evil".

Arendt traveled to Israel in order to witness firsthand the trial of Adolf Eichmann. What troubled her most about this experience wasn't that Eichmann was some kind of monster. Quite the contrary. What troubled her was that he was really so completely ORDINARY.

Eichmann was driven by his personal ambition to do his bureaucratic job as efficiently as possible. He really was, in essence, no different than the typical government bureaucrat or corporate ladder-climber looking to gain recognition and get ahead. The only thing that was really different about Eichmann was the scenario in which he was placed -- that his work was used to facilitate the mass execution of millions of people.

Arendt came to the conclusion, based on her observations of the trial, that the Holocaust was NOT some kind of abberation in history, but rather that similar events could unfold in the future -- all it would take is a few select, deranged individuals assuming power, and a whole lot of new "Eichmanns" waiting to carry out their individually assigned tasks with zeal and efficiency out of a simple desire for recognition and advancement.

Many of the people working in corporate America (myself included) are involved in enterprises that could be called into moral question. Just because we are removed from their effects, and are only seeking to do our jobs to the best of our ability, does not absolve us of our culpability. To an orphan in Afghanistan whose parents were killed by a US bomb on their house, the person working the assembly line manufacturing that weaponry could be considered to be his own personal "Eichmann", even though that person probably doesn't give his job a second thought and only shows up to work every day to do his job the best he can.

Is the analogy a bit clearer now?

17. Another discerning post!!! I admire those who are wearing "thinking caps"
rather than falling into the same old emotionally manipulative blackmail utilized by the right-wing, character-assassination machine!
