I was banned from the ABC News.com Message Boards

[Joey Liberal]

I guess they didn't like it when I called Herr Boosh a Nazi. They'll allow all sorts of insults directed at Bill and Hillary Clinton, but if you dare to insult Herr Boosh, you get banned. It's the "Lberal Media" I guess............

2. I Remember That Networks & Cable Channels SUED TO Have Message Boards...

before March 2001. I found out about DU & DEms.com on a CNN message board. Does this mean they are coming back?
At least that's something. I noticed that there was an immediate shut down of all message boards on "news" sites after
bu$h stole the 2000 election.

3. I got banned in 2000. n/t

4. Why don't we all write ABC about this?

If a bunch of people reacted every time the media cowards out and kowtows to the Nazis, eventually they will not stop kowtowing.

8. I would encourage everyone to join ABC News message board

I hope everyone joins the ABC News Message Boards (especially the Politics Board) and raises a little hell with the right wingers on that board. It was a lot of fun. I consider it an honor to have been banned. I was fighting the good fight.

11. That's a great idea. Do you have a link?

25. I'm on it.

I used to debate those zealots and was amazed at how blind they insist on being. They love to hate. It's their drug of choice or something.

[zippy890]

27. and while they spew the hate, they accuse

us of doing the hating. I've seen/heard this so often from
RWers its ridiculous. This is one particular issue I go after
with them, they think they're hate-filled notions are disguised
by going on the offensive, accusing antiwar/antibush people as the hate mongers.

Its all a deflection of their primary principle: If you don't hate 'the terrorists'
enough to do anything and everthing to kill them you have the wrong priorities.

I joined in yesterday with another Duer over there at ABC message boards and we
kicked some butt. was fun, I posted that GWB & co were terrorists and didn't get banned!

28. Message to Republicans

Do not drink the fruit punch!

Remember Jim Jones and what happened in Guyana!

You must think on your own - do not be sheep!

5. They're so touchy about the N word.

I guess that's because it fits so well.

[mom cat]

7. They are touchy about the truth in general!

6. Now, if you had called Hugo Chavez a nazi

THAT would have been OK

(I posted this already, but golly does it seem appropriate now)

9. So American BroadKKKast found out you were a Dem too?

The network media outlets are owned and operated by Bush Sr. & Friends. They have done a nice job of camaflouging for a while, however its obvious. The Media is anything but our friend.

A great read is Carl Bernsteins piece, The CIA and the Media which can be found at certain websites if you search.

[Joey Liberal]

12. Yes, and they don't like me at all

I also had posted that Jesus is a Liberal, Laura Bush is a murderer, Rush Limbaugh is a fat coward, republicans are imbeciles, etc. The right wingers on that board went nuts. It was great fun while it lasted.

I urge everyone to join that message board and get banned.

[buff2]

10. They can't HANDLE the truth

Every time I hear the repuke CONservatives talk about supporting the troops because they are "fighting for our freedom" I want to puke buckets.:puke: Each day that passes by gets worse for people who disagree with the brown shirts. Freedom of speech? What a phuckin JOKE. I am sick of living under this fascist nazi rule. It has to change.Khrist,they censor what you wear,what you say,they want to seize your property,they want to dictate who you screw,who you marry,what you do behind closed doors,make personal decisions on who can live or who can die,whether you want to have a baby or not....Damn...WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE? Repukes...STAY THE PHUCK OUT OF OUR LIVES AND PERSONAL BUSINESS!!!!!! :argh: :grr:

15. Remember that CIA Director Casey purchased ABC in 1985

He remodeled it as a right-wing front organization and then sold it to Disney.
Jennings kept them at bay in the news division, but ABC radio is pure reactionary propaganda.

19. Casey bought ABC and sold it Disney? I Missed that piece of Factoid

No fucking wonder...

i knew the CIA was infiltrating the media, but I had freaking idea that they could be that UP FRONT about it.

[dysfunctional press]

20. huh? i have to call bullshit on that specious claim...

unless you can provide a link that actually works.

29. The Capital Cities takeover of ABC

is not exactly a well-kept secret.

"One of Capital City's early founders was William Casey, who would later become Ronald Reagan's Director of the CIA. A history of Casey's business dealings reveals that he was an aggressive player who saw nothing wrong with bending the law to further his own conservative agenda. When he became implicated as a central figure in the Iran-Contra scandal, many Washington insiders considered it a predictable continuation of a very shady career.

Another Capital Cities founder, Lowell Thomas, was a close friend and business contact with Allen Dulles, Eisenhower's CIA Director, and John Dulles, the Secretary of State. Thomas always denied being a spy, but he was frequently seen at events involving intelligence operations. Another founder was Thomas Dewey, whom the CIA had given millions to create other front companies for covert operations."

Cap Cities bought ABC in 1985.

The link works fine as far as I can tell.

A Google of "Capital Cities CIA" brings up my link as the fourth hit and it works.

The article is called "ABC and the Rise of Rush Limbaugh" based on Dennis Mazzocco's book "Networks of Power".

[dysfunctional press]

30. i sit corrected...

when i tried the link originally, it didn't work, and firefox gave me the response that http://www.huppi.com could not be found- the server must have been down.

i had forgotton about the capital cities thing- and even still it's not quite the same as "William Casey bought ABC".

[Cleita]

17. Okay, get a friend to go on that board and say the same

things about Bill Clinton or even John Kerry or other Democrat that you said about Bush. See if your friend gets banned. If he doesn't you can accuse them of unfairness and bias, and you will have the proof.

[Acebass]

18. Thats nothing

I was banned at Dem 08...:hippie:

23. I am trying to get on, but it won't let me send my post

their message board is crappy.

[rpgamerd00d]

31. To fix their message board error, you need to use "TAB" key to..

... get your cursor onto the "Submit Post" button, then hit the "Enter" key to submit.

They have some fucked up DHTML/Layers issues on their site.

26. Perhaps they thought it insulting to Nazis. /nt
