Liberal parents caused Abu Ghraib abuse

[stanwyck]

Yes. That's what a caller to CSPAN's Washington Journal told us this morning. It's liberalism run amok causing young people to act without decency. Liberal parents. Liberal schools. Liberal politicians. Of course I'm not surprised liberals are taking the blame. We always do. Is this how the radio hatetalkers are spinning the Iraqi prison scandal? I don't have the intestinal fortitude to listen to those ill-informed propagandists. Maybe we'll find out in the days ahead more about the "liberal" households of those who will be held responsible. What do you think? Mom and Dad will be atheists? Intellectuals? Media people? Drug smoking hippies? "Hollywood types"? All the defendants will be from Blue states? When the press shows up at Mom and Dad's, will there be Kerry signs in the yard?

1. Don't you get it?

Did you see CNN recently featured a woman who was attacked by a mountain lion? That mountain lion attacked because of LIBERALISM!!! (/drunken stupor)

[chookie]

2. I've heard that too

A LTTE in Pittsburgh newspaper blamed -- I am not making this up -- Bill Clinton and Teddy Kennedy for the bad example they set.

So -- you got that?

It's NOT the scoffing "don't mess with Texas" arrogant unilateralism of the current administration that can be seen as an influence in these events, but rather sexual indiscretions. Ones committed by Democrats. (Ones committed by Republicans are okay, because Jesus forgives them and they just get born again again.) As you can see, sexual indiscretions leave such a mark on society -- FAR more than say, slavery -- that 'Murkan young people today, such as the Bad Apple Brigage, are still poisoned by an event that took place over 30 years ago. /sarcasm off

I have noticed a more open "nuttiness" in recent weeks -- truly exposing the moral bankruptsy of the extremist Reich.

3. LTTE?

n/t

[kayell]

6. Letter to the editor

[checks-n-balances]

7. LTTE = Letter to the Editor

Welcome from a relative newbie! There's a page around here somewhere explaining some of that kind of lingo.

[MsMagnificent]

18. What's an LTTE ? n/t

[Hamlette]

4. I saw a rerun of the PBS Emmett Till documentary

it's not difficult to see where the prison guards in Abu Ghraib came from when you remember how we treated blacks for so long.

Teaching hatred is the problem and that is mostly on the right, including the intolerant religious right.

If it's okay to hate gays, isn't it okay to hate "rag heads"? After all, they killed all those merikans on 9-11.

[checks-n-balances]

5. Let's see, who'll be left to blame/demonize for all the frat-house pranks?

You started a good list:

LIBERALS
"hippies" (let's see, they'd be about 55+ by now)
intellectuals (should we add public school supporters?)
atheists
"liberal" media
Hollywood types
"militant" feminists
war protesters
tree-hugging environmentalists
frat house pranksters
the French
"old" Europeans
oh yeah, and those latte drinking, Volvo driving, panty-waisted, free market-hating, tax-loving, bedwetting, war-on-terror hating, terrorist-appeasing, class warfare-starting, kumbayah singing...DEMOCRATS!

We should round 'em all up & teach 'em how to be TRUE AMERICANS (and maybe with a little "abuse" they'll fess up to their wrongdoing!

So look out, moderate republicans...you could be next!!

[Brian_Expat]

9. HEY!

You forgot "homosexuals who recruit people." Be complete! ;)

[stanwyck]

11. You had me

at Volvo-driving. '93 wagon.

[Gemini Cat]

14. Same here.

'82 Volvo. I mostly walk or bike to save on gas. I walk to the local coffee shop as well. I don't hug trees however, due to allergies.

[neebob]

8. Right

Liberal parents are always encouraging their kids to join the military.

[WoodrowFan]

17. that's what I was thinking

That's the first thing that came to my mind, how many members of the military had really liberal parents??

[stanwyck]

23. My son does

we're all liberals. Including Grandmas and Grandpas. My son, a (liberal!) Marine, has a twin sister who is the secretary for the Young Dems at her college.
He leaves for Baghdad in June. Wish him well.

[maggrwaggr]

20. yeah, and West Virginia's a real hotbed of liberalism

seems like that's where a certain number of these folks are from

[Kazak]

10. Good is Me

I am good, therefore good is me
He is not me therefore he's not good

I am good, therefore good is me
He's not me therefore he's not good

I am good, therefore good is me
He is not me therefore he is not good

Our norms are good
Good are our norms
Theirs aren't ours
Therefore are not good

Our God is true
True is our God
Their God's not ours
So is not true

Inpossible to consider
Reality of the other
Other people's institutions
Not better or worse than other

I am good, therefore good is me
He's not me therefore he's not good

12. I'm sure Chuck Graner and Lynndie English got their love of

humiliating Iraqis at their liberal mommies and daddies' knees. :eyes:

[rucky]

13. Makes me want to drop my drawers

and take a crap down that caller's throat.

I'm sorry, but I've had enough. I will punch somebody like that in the face, given the opportunity.

[Cleita]

15. Hey Nazis need a scapegoat. In Germany it was the Jews.

In the fourth reich, America, the scapegoats are liberals.

[MsMagnificent]

19. Exactly n/t

[maggrwaggr]

21. yup. That's what Rush has been telling them for a GENERATION

an entire generation of people have grown up having this shit in their ear.

Get used to it.

[ithacan]

22. Hitler hated Liberals too!

He hated all leftists, and he hated liberals. He had them sent to prisons and camps.

Don't underestimate what the right wingers are planning for this country...

[mitchum]

16. Was it Zionist wingnut Mona Charen?

That harpy always likes to blame atrocities on liberal parenting

[stanwyck]

24. Mona and I got into

a bitch slapping contest last year. She wrote an inane column about how her family vacation was ruined because of some hussies who were sunning themselves topless on the hotel deck in plain view of her impressionable little boys. I emailed her a letter giving my view that, as a woman, I'm more insulted by people who find our bodies offensive than I am by bare breasts. I also assured her that, as another mother, I was sure her boys would be fine. She emailed me back, twice, really nasty replies about my low moral character.
I later emailed her my condolences and best wishes for her son when he was injured by a car while riding his bike in front of their home.
Apparently I should have pointed out that her "liberal" parenting had led to his injuries.
But, I didn't. Must be my low moral character.

[mitchum]

27. Good for you (for taking her on)!

:)
stanwyck, you are a better woman than I (well...y'know...if I were a woman...) I just don't think that I could ever be gracious to that hateful loon.

[union_maid]

25. Just means they only have the nuts left on their side

I'm figuring it's getting harder and harder to find "normal" people to call in on the Republican line. :)

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. HaHaHaHa!

Big bad Liberals! It's called PROJECTION, and the Right Wingnut cases are oh sooooo good at it! 'nuff said!

[9215]

28. Lyndie England is an inbred Sunday go to meetin'

God and Country conservative. Her fucking town cheered her then had a prayer vigil for her.

Now how the fuck does that square with the claims made by this caller above and also a crop of Right-Wing preachers said the same thing about MTV causing Torturegate???????

[bobbieinok]

29. 'taking personal responsibility' never applies to bushco or repubs
