A National Disgrace...

At the behest of the ACLU (search), federal judge Alvin Hellerstein (search) has ordered the government to release more pictures of the Abu Ghraib abuse. This, despite the fact that General Richard Myers (search), chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Hellerstein that the pictures would put U.S. military personnel in even more danger. And the general told us there's nothing new in those pictures.

At first, Hellerstein gave lip service to Myers, saying the general's concerns had to be taken seriously. But today, the judge rejected the safety of the troops saying, "Terrorists do not need pretexts for their barbarism."

Apparently, Hellerstein missed the Newsweek (search) Koran debacle, where 15 people were killed immediately after a bogus report by that publication, inciting impulsive violence is done on a case-by-case basis. Now I'm so angry at Hellerstein's ruling, I cannot even describe it. First of all, I apologize to everybody American soldier all over the world on behalf of the vast majority of Americans who don't agree with Hellerstein and the ACLU. Unfortunately, America is a divided country and there are elements in it like the ACLU, who will put soldiers in jeopardy for ideological reasons.

The far left element in America is a destructive force that must be confronted when it puts Americans in danger. There's no question Hellerstein has aided the terrorists by his ruling. No question at all. They can't wait to get these pictures. The BBC, CBC, French media, and many American newsrooms also can't wait. Why? Because the pictures will hurt the Bush administration. That's why. Once again, ideology trumps the safety of Americans.

[ET Awful]

1. Bill's just frustarted 'cause he can't even get phone sex these days.

:evilgrin:

[opihimoimoi]

3. Our Troops would not be in Harms way if they were not misused in the first

place....they and the most of America got scammed/conned into this shitty war.

[Mr_Spock]

2. O'Liely seems to be begging to be turning into some sort of martyr

or something...

Keep inciting the public O'Liely - the result may not be what you expected. :P

[Kagemusha]

4. Terrorists don't need pretexts. But they do use them.

Of course they do. Silly.

[AllegroRondo]

5. Its called "projection"

[cassiepriam]

24. Yes indeed. They project their dark shadow on everyone else.

Their inner demons and psychoses.....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. "again, ideology trumps the safety of Americans" Talking about Plamegate?

Does OReilly have anything to say about the ideology of treasonous leaking of national security secrets, such as Plame? Such short-sighted partisan political leaking can get US espionage allies killed overseas.

[gratuitous]

7. "Put soldiers in jeopardy for ideological reasons"

So, where are those weapons of mass destruction, Falafel boy? How many soldiers can you definitively state died due to the Koran-flushing story (which, by the way, turned out to be more or less true)? Ten? Five? Fewer?

I'll put whatever number you ascribe to that up against the other more than 1,900 in Iraq and however many hundred in Afghanistan that are directly attributable to a corrupt and out-of-control administration that thinks nothing of calling out the military to fight and die for its own aggrandizement any day of the week.

And the cheerleaders for this administration, with their fake outrage over allowing the American people to see what their tax dollars have paid for in Iraq, should be on the next transport to Iraq to fight this little battle that they're profiting so handsomely from.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

8. Do we know if the people who condoned the behavior

shown on these new photos have been tried and punished for their crimes? I haven't heard of one court martial being conducted as a result of these new photos. Seems to me that the only way to get justice for the victims is to show the photos and then try the perpetrators-and those who ordered them to do what they did.

[benddem]

15. these aren't new photos

they are the ones from the original group that were deemed too horrific for us to view...rape ...murder. So it is the same group that has been prosecuted already...but unfortunately they didn't take it to the top..which people will demand after seeing them.

[DemNoir]

9. Question

Is there a way to block posts that have either O'Reilly or Fox in title?

[Bridget Burke]

12. I'm still looking for a TV with a "W" chip....

If it would just MUTE any comments from the little twerp--bet others would by one.

[SpiralHawk]

10. Did O'Reilly utter as much as a peep to condemn the torture itself?

I thought not.

he's worried about our image, while true US patriots are worried about the corruption of the American soul via BushCo Systematic and Widespread torture -- including children and women.

O'Reilly was a pompous blowhard back in college, and he has only deteriorated.

[itzamirakul]

22. O'Reilly secretly visits Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo several times

each month where he rubs prisoners genitals with a rough loofah and sticks things into their orfices.

He is afraid that pics showing him in the act of personally sexually torturing prisoners are about to surface this time.

[hwmnbn]

11. confront? bring it on, loofah boy!!

America is a divided country and there are elements in it like the chimp's neo-con administration who will put soldiers in jeopardy for ideological reasons.

[SillyGoose]

13. Yoo hoo, Billy! ...WP: Pentagon Details Abuse of Koran

"Apparently, Hellerstein missed the Newsweek (search) Koran debacle, where 15 people were killed immediately after a bogus report by that publication..."

Pentagon Details Abuse Of Koran
Detainees' Holy Books Were Kicked, Got Wet

By Josh White and Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, June 4, 2005; Page A01

The U.S. military released new details yesterday about five confirmed cases of U.S. personnel mishandling the Koran at the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, acknowledging that soldiers and interrogators kicked the Muslim holy book, got copies wet, stood on a Koran during an interrogation and inadvertently sprayed urine on another copy.

edited to add O'reilly quote

[tlsmith1963]

14. O'Reilly is the Last Person Who Should Be Saying This

Since he is a neocon fanatic himself. Talk about a threat to the country! I may have differences with ANSWER & other groups like them, but I know that the neocons are a huge threat. Sorry, Bill. It doesn't work on me.

Tammy

[lady lib]

16. Seriously, what is that freak's problem?

Is it just that he's an overpaid, chickenhawk asshat, or is there something truly pathological going on here?

IMO, he has narcissistic personality disorder (just like W and Barbara).

[underpants]

17. Listen closely to me:WE DON'T LIVE FOR THE MILITARY!!!

I don't care what Meyers says we don't live work and eat for the military it is a seperate part of the government and our Constitutional structure. What they say has no greater weight than any other opinion in fact it has less because (brace yourself) they work FOR US!! Not that they are second class citizens (medical experimentation aside) but they aren't FIRST CLASS citizens either.

O'Reilly never served anyway.

[Hav]

18. .

"If one would abort every leftist baby, we would have a much more patriotic America."

:eyes:

[RJRoss]

19. Bloviating, obfuscating lying liar

Why does he pretend to care that "15 people were killed immediately" (apparently Muslims, apparently able to read English news magazines), but doesn't seem to give a crap about the thousands of innocent Iraqis we (and the insurgents) have killed?

I watched part of his show last night, and hoped for a few minutes that this would be the episode where his head explodes on-camera, like in that movie "Scanners". Stay tuned, he's gonna have a fuckin stroke on air pretty damned soon.

[Dawgs]

20. "Guns don't kill, people do"

"Pictures don't torture, people do"

[Crunchy Frog]

21. It's not the pictures putting Americans in danger.

It's the actions, and the political and military leaders who condoned and encouraged those actions. As long as they're allowed to get away with those policies with no accountability, Americans will continue to be put in danger.

Bill O'Reilly is an anti-American traitor who hates our soldiers and hates our freedoms.

[Dora]

23. Then bring on the confrontation you dumb ass, falafel-scrubbin',

sex-obsessed, wingnut-pandering, un-American, hateful fartbag, poisoned carcass of a carrion eater.

Get out from behind that pansy television set and walk the walk, you puss.

[Zhade]

25. Did Al From ghostwrite this?

"Far left" - again, Bill, where are the Maoists and Stalinists in the ACLU?

I don't recall the ACLU calling for forced redistribution of wealth, for example - which actually IS far left.

[ragin_acadian]

29. hah! you should have heard 'savage country' on monday.

apparently, Cindy Sheehan, Answer, and the peace movement are backed by the.....are you ready for this....really....i'm not making it up.....soviet union. savage had some kind of "student of the left" on his show trumpeting this tripe.

yessiree. even though raygun shook his mighty fist and thundered the words: "Mr. Gorbechev, tear down that wall" and the lowly godless communists wet their pants and the soviet union fell apart instantaneously - the soviets are alive and well and behind the peace movement. apparently, they/we are also going to make eveyone go to a gulag, too.

anywho, savage and his call-in had a little chat about soviets backing our peace movement.

just thought i would share that with everyone.

[Zhade]

37. Wow, so the "Evil Empire" never fell in Weiner's world?

(I refuse to call that shitbag by his contrived last name.)

[ragin_acadian]

46. i guess not,

most of the information was offered by his call-in, then shitbag proceeded to run with it.

gawd-dayum. one day they are canonizing raygun for bringing down the "evil empire" with a microphone and a deficit, the next day, they contradict themselves by saying that it still exists, and is aiding and abetting ummm....far leftists?

:wtf:

[Zhade]

52. You know how it is - all that cognitive dissonance eventually trips them.

Of course, the lies do that, too.

[whosinpower]

26. Does O'Reilly think?

That the Iraqi's that were "posed" in the photographs were automatons with no voice, with no family? Does he honestly think that Iraqi's are not aware of the atrocities that the US forces perpetrate?

NEWSFLASH - THEY ALREADY KNOW. And if the Iraqi's know - then so do the terrorists. It is Americans that are naively blind. So - I just do not buy that reasoning.....releasing the photo's would endanger the troops. It is bull. US troops have already released many many grisly photo's onto the internet.

[ComerPerro]

27. So reporting facts causes our soldiers to be killed

and the Bush apologists are blaming the ones reporting this, not the ones who are responsible...


Hmm...

[okieinpain]

28. I just don't get it. so don't tell the truth, because it might be painful.

should we not talk about the halocaust, or slavery. if that is the case why do they keep bringing up saddams rape rooms, isn't that just going to make the shiite's hate the sunni's more?

[Fire Walk With Me]

30. Def: "Projection"

8. Psychology.

b. The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something as a naive or unconscious defense against anxiety or guilt.

[Lone_Wolf]

31. More of Reeking O'reilly's nonsense...

Reeking O'reilly and others like him put America in danger.

[Skittles]

32. what a pompous, stupid fucking asshole

he really doesn't have a clue; his entire schtick is to play up to the ignorant

[PlanetBev]

33. Damn, that looks good

Exhaused property manager who didn't have time to eat today.

Having said that, fuck O'Reilly

[indie_voter]

34. A National Disgrace

That about sums up O'Reilly.

[LibDemAlways]

35. Did it ever occur to the

asshole that if the pictures didn't exist - if nothing untoward happened at Abu Ghraib to begin with - this wouldn't even be an issue. The people who ordered that shit and those who carried it out ought to be the focus of O'Reilly's anger.

"Terrorists do not need pretexts for their barbarism" applies as much to the Abu Ghraib torturers as it does to anyone who would commit a terrorist act.

[Erika]

36. ACLU defended Rush & Ollie North

The whining cry baby Republicans ignore this fact completely.

[Vickers]

38. Bring it on, motherfucker.

I've faced worse than you. :eyes:

[Cha]

39. zidzi says, "bo is a Distructive Force

that Absolutely has to be Reckoned with, Immediately!"



I just realized what that picture of food is that looks so tempting! :P

[mbee]

40. Your man Mr. Shrub is the one who put our troops in jeopardy. Funny

whenever pugs are held accountable suddenly someone is always in danger. I'll freely admit we are all in danger the longer we are under this illegitimate and reckless regime.

[Edgewater_Joe]

41. Hey Baby, Why Don't You Come Here And Get MY Far Left RIGHT?

falafelfalafelfalafelfalafel

[TankLV]

42. Hey - O'Liely - IT'S THE CRIME - not the pictures!

Shouldn't have done the CRIME if you don't want to reap the whirlwind!

I say release it and PUBLICIZE it!

[LynnTheDem]

43. Billy just LIES AND LIES again.

1. It was NOT a "bogus" report.

2. The Newsweek article had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with those deaths, and even the BUSH ADMIN and the US MILITARY admitted it.

3. If our troops are "dying for our freedoms", WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TAKE OUR FREEDOMS AWAY, BILL?

BILL O'REILLY IS A STUPID MFing LIAR.

LIAR. LIAR. LIAR.

[deadparrot]

44. So, Bill, what do you call the situation we're in now?

:shrug:

[Mutley]

45. Who is O'Leilly to talk about destructive forces?

The pubbies are really desperate to project their behavior onto us. And unlike this time last year, they're being too obvious for even the dumbest among us to fall for.

[ProudDad]

47. Oh, if it were only true

If it were only true...

What a wonderful world it would become. Unfortunately, O'liely is just blowing it out of his ass again...the left has NEVER been powerful in this ultra-capitalist country.

[Pushed To The Left]

48. O'Reilly is showing his true colors

He makes me proud to support the progressive cause and the ACLU. By the way, if any of you aren't members yet:

www.aclu.org

Just imagine if a whole slew of new members joined and then wrote Bill O'Reilly to thank him for inspiring them to join!

[burythehatchet]

49. Far left element checking in.

Anytime Bill. A confrontation with you would be quite a welcome opportunity for me.

[tabasco]

50. Confront me, O'Pussyboy.

This Irishman will kick your silly ass.

O'Reilly and scum sucking propagandists like him deserve this after the revolution:

[williesgirl]

51. Bastard makes me ashamed to be Irish! n/t

[NVMojo]

53. He's part of the Bush propaganda machine. He doesn't know what

"coming clean" means.
