Some on the "Left" eat babies

[MannyGoldstein]

I, for one, can no longer put up with their myriad calls for fresh human flesh. Nor can I stand idle while they sap our precious bodily fluids.

You shouldn't, either.

Regards,

TWM

[temporary311]

1. I agree with not eating fresh human flesh.

Its why I prefer my baby as jerky.

[pa28]

3. All I know is that we should be very, very, VERY afraid.

According to what I've read here a good number of them secretly love Putin so eating babies is not out of the question. Probably.

[Uncle Joe]

5. If anybody truly loved Putin, they would call him Pootie Poot, that would be a surefire sign. n/t

4. It is very important to believe everything you read on the Internets.

Go on.

[Kennah]

6. Tastes like chicken. What's not to like?

[sabrina 1]

7. Lol, why do they hate the Left so much? Is it because we are always right?

And really, I wish they wouldn't use recycled Right Wing talking points, it's cheap, we are worth some new talking points imo. I hate it when they refuse to spend money on us even to try to shut us up. It's an insult, is what I say.

[TeeYiYi]

28. See, there, I knew it!...

Just as I suspected. You've just admitted that you've secretly always been posting from the right! (Double exclamation point. It doesn't get any more serious than that!) Ooh, triple exclamation point...

re: "Is it because we are always right?"

TYY

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. Good with this...

[azurnoir]

10. the proper sauce should be something more-infernal

[Kablooie]

11. Let me make a modest proposal.

I can make it very swift.

[NutmegYankee]

15. I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London...

That your proposal will be quite the benefit for the poor people of Ireland.

[cali]

12. silly stuff. trying to belittle the silly assertion that some on the left support Putin over Obama

just makes the whole thing more ridiculous.

[Union Scribe]

13. When will we finally rid our beautiful party

of these baby-eating Putinistas?!

[PowerToThePeople]

14. Get in my belly!!!!

[geek tragedy]

16. At least one Putin-lover on the 'left' is is blaming the victims. Right here at DU.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=850384

The mitigating factor is the airliner had no business

venturing into prohibited airspace. You come into my yard where I have serious signs on the perimeter, my dogs won't care that you were misdirected by a bad guy into my protected space. I agree with your last statement, though, but not simply for the downing of this airplane. A bunch of calamities are pointing toward war. The bankers have probably already decided.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=850394

Frame of reference....If the "victims"

knowingly and wantonly entered prohibited air space (a war zone), they are at least partly responsible for their fate. I'll leave the cute icons to you.

Notice the scare quotes around 'victim.'

We have fascists here pretending to be leftists.

[Coventina]

17. Good God/dess!

Words fail....

[geek tragedy]

18. I wonder if Manny et al will offer their disapproval or just continue to object to those

who point out these misguided individuals.

[Hekate]

57. Manny et al. spent last night demanding links, but ignored them when they appeared

He/they just strolling around the board of an evening; perambulating as it were.

[MannyGoldstein]

64. That's BS

Utter.

Regards,

You're-foolin'-nobody Manny

[geek tragedy]

67. Care to comment on the tweet I posted for you?

Do you agree with it? Repudiate it?

Ducking-his-own challenge? way

Gt

[MannyGoldstein]

68. I basically did, last night

You found one person, who doesn't really post on DU anymore AFAIK, by finding tweets. Not even DU posts. And the tweets that I saw don't defend Putin so much as call out the bad stuff being done by the westerners.

Do I have that right?

Then you found a low-count poster that's on a time out, and another low-count poster.

On a site with thousands of participants, this doesn't exactly sound like an epidemic. It doesn't even sound like a flea fart. More like a tardigrade burp.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5264410

Perhaps your time would be better spent reading up on early 20th century German history instead of cataloging the tweets of inactive DUers, and hectoring me with silliness.

[Hekate]

66. Manny offered his disapproval of my response, though.

Ta.

[sufrommich]

19. *puke*. nt

[geek tragedy]

20. notice how the fascist put victims in scare quotes and compared them to dogs. nt

[maddezmom]

21. Oh good god

That is truly disgusting.

[geek tragedy]

22. jury results

On Sat Jul 19, 2014, 12:03 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

Frame of reference....If the "victims"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=850394

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

Utterly repulsive. Trying to blame the victims of a war crime for flying in airspace where it was perfectly legal to fly, in order to deflect blame from Putin (he's peddling conspiracy woo further down). Not only should comment be hidden for being a malicious, horrific lie, but poster should be on thin ice as a likely troll.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Jul 19, 2014, 12:20 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: "knowingly and wantonly"...really? Disgusting.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Stupid alert. The alerter should do some research since there were NOTAMS (Notice to airmen) send out saying to avoid the area and US carriers were specifically told not to fly over that area.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Wtf!
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Ludicrous, victim-blaming statement.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: A valid point by the poster.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: CC is missing a troll from under it's bridge. Admin please remove this troll.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Poorly put but there is a point in there. The airline and pilots should have never allowed their plane over the area.

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Ballyhoo is on a brief vacation, I see.

Excellent hide.

[geek tragedy]

30. should be permanent--he should have been banned for endorsing Putin's gay hate

law and for advocating the persecution of the Roma.

[betterdemsonly]

55. Where did he do that?

Or is thinking Ukrainian intervention is bad the same thing?

[geek tragedy]

56. derp.

Or...he's one of, if not the greatest,

leader of our times. He protects his people wherever they are; he throws financial crooks in jail; he maintains a morality that suits the greatest percentage of his people;, and he likes cats.

Anyone who genuinely admires Vladimir Putin is a fascist and does not belong here.

[PowerToThePeople]

23. I do not understand

Where you get saying

We have fascists here pretending to be leftists.

This poster posted a lot of ugly stuff. Transparency page is showing now and I would venture to guess they do not have much time left on DU.

But, I did not see any pro-fascist posts in his history. It appears to me as though you may be trying to co-opt the term to divert it away from our native fascists right here in the Democratic party.

FYI - ACA is fascist legislation written by the insurance industry.

[geek tragedy]

24. What definition of fascism do you utilize that excludes this statement regarding Putin:

Or...he's one of, if not the greatest,

leader of our times. He protects his people wherever they are; he throws financial crooks in jail; he maintains a morality that suits the greatest percentage of his people;, and he likes cats.

(note: bold text is praise for Putin's gay bashing)

and how is this not fascist?:

What is the matter with anyone trying to rid a town of

drugged-out gypsies? Have you ever had contacts with gypsies? They are not a savory type.

All available from the transparency page.

Note that some jurors agreed with his victim-blaming.

[PowerToThePeople]

26. I see nothing there

About corporate control of the Russian government or corporate desire of "gay bashing" in Russia.

[geek tragedy]

31. corporate control is not an essential element of fascism

seriously, if your definition of fascism doesn't include what that guy advocates, your definition is incorrect

[PowerToThePeople]

33. Uh..

corporate control is not an essential element of fascism

Like I said, trying to redefine terminology to nicely fit your political ideologies.

[geek tragedy]

34. Corporations didn't control the state in Nazi Germany, it was the other way around.

You are simply incorrect on this.

Some strains of fascism do involve corporatism, but not all do.

In a fascist state, the state is paramount, not corporations.

[PowerToThePeople]

35. I will grant that

In a fascist state, the state is paramount, not corporations.

But the businesses/corporations play a very important role in the fascist state and the fascist state can not exist but for their support.

The wiki definition which matches most closely to my personal definition is:

Marxists argue that fascism represents the last attempt of a ruling class (specifically, the capitalist bourgeoisie) to preserve its grip on power in the face of an imminent proletarian revolution. Fascist movements are not necessarily created by the ruling class, but they can only gain political power with the help of that class and with funding from big business. Once in power, the fascists serve the interests of their benefactors (not necessarily the interests of capitalism in general, but the interests of those specific capitalists who put them in power).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism#Marxist_definitions

[geek tragedy]

36. Well, see, we have different definitions, since I am not a big fan of Marxist theory

totalitarianism+violence+nationalism is the basic definition I use.

[PowerToThePeople]

38. Or FDR's thoughts

Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote about fascism: "The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power"

From the same wiki article.

[geek tragedy]

41. yes, fascism can involve rule by corporate interests, but does not necessarily do so nt

[MannyGoldstein]

44. Similar to today's Tea Party, the Nazis

were a product of corporate oligarchs, who became impossible to control.

The Third Way remains safely under control.

[geek tragedy]

46. Huh? The Nazis were a populist movement, not an elite one.

They were street rabble who railed against elites, etc.

[MannyGoldstein]

48. Funded by...?

[geek tragedy]

52. membership. tycoons jumped on board when they thought they

could control the Nazis.

Henry Ford of course did his part.

[MannyGoldstein]

53. From the early 1920s, German oligarchs funded Hitler in a big way

They saw the Nazis as a grand way to stop... "those on the Left".

Do you dispute this?

The Nazis were just a tiny group of nuts back then.

[JackRiddler]

62. This is not the place to give you a history course.

I recommend you take one, or read more than one book on the subject, rather than continue to propagate long-invalidated if comforting cliches.

[MannyGoldstein]

65. You'd think that people would know to Google the thing, at least

But no.

[Octafish]

70. ROI

Know your BFEE: Nazis couldn’t win WWII, so they backed Bushes.

[Quantess]

27. Thanks for the inspiration!

Next time I see a preggo woman, I'll lure her into my home and make a feast of them, since I'm a pro-choice liberal, and all. I kinda like 'em broiled with BBQ marinade.

(Totally joking, for the ironically impaired. )

[redqueen]

29. How the fuck does this have 9 recs?

[MrScorpio]

32. Maybe they know something that we don't nt

[OilemFirchen]

37. It's a Mannygram!

I suspect the thrill upon receiving one is comparable to the satisfaction of a good pickled infant ear.

[MannyGoldstein]

39. Would you like some cheese with that? nt

[geek tragedy]

42. care to comment on the posts I linked to Manny? How about the Twitter from one of DU's

most prominent leftists that trashed Obama supporters as Nazis who are no match for the might of Putin, complete with adoring fan photo of Vladimir.

[MannyGoldstein]

43. I'll review them a little later

Fell asleep last night, on the road now.

In the meantime, perhaps you can point out a few other DUers who do what you allege, on DU. Should be easy, yes?

[geek tragedy]

45. A certain group of DUers are screaming at anyone who criticizes Putin over this

while refusing to criticize Putin.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5262293

http://metamorphosis.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5251699

http://metamorphosis.democraticunderground.com/10025262590

You see, it's really the US and Ukraine to blame no matter what, so all the people criticizing Putin need to STFU.

[Union Scribe]

49. Except you're not criticizing Putin.

You're witch-hunting DUers, and apparently tracking them on and OFF DU which is pretty creepy.

[geek tragedy]

50. Oh, I criticize Putin and his fellow fascists with some regularity.

what's appalling is to see people trying to deflect criticism of a fascist dictator on DU

And, you all don't get to play the game of "show us LINKS" and then whine when people show you links.

63. Good point.

You made me add one.

[hrmjustin]

51. Manny what is your real point here?

[Electric Monk]

59. I suspect it was somewhere in between the quotation marks. He used them for "emphasis".

[Zorra]

54. Members of Russian punk rock band are sentenced to two years in prison for performing a song

critical of Putin.

Virgin Mary, Mother of God, banish Putin, banish Putin,

Virgin Mary, Mother of God, banish him, we pray thee!

Congregations genuflect,

Black robes brag gilt epaulettes,

Freedom's phantom's gone to heaven,

Gay Pride's chained and in detention.

KGB's chief saint descends

To guide the punks to prison vans.

Don't upset His Saintship, ladies,

Stick to making love and babies.

Crap, crap, this godliness crap!

Crap, crap, this holiness crap!

(Chorus)

Virgin Mary, Mother of God.

Be a feminist, we pray thee,

Be a feminist, we pray thee.

Bless our festering bastard-boss.

Let black cars parade the Cross.

The Missionary's in class for cash.

Meet him there, and pay his stash.

Patriarch Gundy believes in Putin.

Better believe in God, you vermin!

Fight for rights, forget the rite –

Join our protest, Holy Virgin.

(Chorus)

Virgin Mary, Mother of God, banish Putin, banish Putin,

Virgin Mary, Mother of God, we pray thee, banish him!

60. Dude, now you're trying WAY too hard.

Your ratio of clever to tedious is decreasing (and I say this as a casual fan).
