Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 03:38 PM by ConfuZed
Seems like you have a racist angle.

13. Uhhh I'm talking about the one's on TV...
like Chandra Levi,Laci Peterson and Jennifer Wilbanks like I said the OP has a racist angle which explains his delusions that all women missing are TV are "blonde".

15. Since when is "blonde" a race?
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 03:50 PM by IanDB1
Are you implying that the original poster believes blondes are too stupid to avoid getting kidnapped?

Someone alert The National Association for Like Totally Blonde People.

19. Some of those are from over four years ago.
The current diversions are blonde.

At any rate, sweet Miss Liberties would still find herself competing with the ravenous, psychotic whore masquerading as our media.

9. Actually, no, I'm 3/4 white, 1/4 Lebanese
It was a joke, with a message.

Humor. Sense it.

14. I don't give a damn about your racial background
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 03:52 PM by ConfuZed
Sure you're getting a laugh because you added in the "civil liberty" part and some people here feel they are compelled to laugh but its not funny at all.

18. No, it's not racism, it's a valid point.
The media is racist in the way it covers abductions, and anybody who's seriously concerned about racism wouldn't pretend otherwise.

21. Oh, so no we're racist against MEDIA? Blondes... media... The Shirtless
So, we're all welcome on DU so long as we aren't blonde, topless, or members of the media?

Oh, the humanity.

Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 04:00 PM by ConfuZed
exclusively covering white women missing although I don't agree they should be excluded from coverage make no mistake I'm not defending their slanted coverage but the OP like some in the media has a delusional racist agenda.

by phony allegations of racism and dodging the topic.

27. When and how?
I'm not going to turn this into a flame way but because I don't agree with that OP's racist comments doesnt mean that I agree with the way the media covers missing person stories and I've made that very clear in my responses but I suspect none of this matters to you.

30. I think you know perfectly well how
you tried to hijack this thread, and by doing so you're avoiding the topic of the racist media.

Crying wolf doesn't help either.

Again you are making accusations against me without any facts I didnt hijack crap and as for avoiding the racist media I havent avoided it and you know it but if you are going to continue on this path fine do it alone but I'm done repeating myself.

38. No, you're making accusations against other people...
without any facts. I've explained who you're apologizing for the racist media via distraction.

You, however, have failed to even remotely offer an explanation as to how the OP is racist.

39. Now you are simply lying but I don't expect any less...
obviously you want to force your point no matter how far from the truth it is, I can't compete with or continue respond in defence for myself against someone like yourself with that said I'll let my initial replies speak for itself.

28. I don't get it...
You say that there is a racist angle to the media only covering missing white women and then the OP is racist for pointing out that only missing white women are worthy enough to be covered by the media. Again, I don't get it!

7. I can see it now
"911."

"Yes, I'd like to report an abduction."

"Who was abducted, sir (or ma'am)?"

"My sister."

"What is her name, sir?"

"Liberty."

"Her name is Liberty? Liberty what?"

"American Liberty."

"I see. Liberty is her LAST name. When was she abducted?"

"I'm not exactly sure, but I noticed she was missing on Nov 2nd, 2000."

"I see, sir. And why has it taken you so long to call us about this?"

"Well, the bastards that took her told me it was for her own good, and that they'd bring her back when she was safe."

"And now?"

"And now I'm afraid they'll NEVER bring her back."

"Well, we'll send someone around to take a report, but I must admit I'm not very optimistic. It's been a long time and, usually, when someone has been missing this long, it's rare that we find them alive and well."

"Thank you." (sobbing)

8. Maybe this should be more than a great joke
Maybe we should really do this. A bit of political theater.

Characters name might be something like Sevilla Libertiseo

And then I need to go missing? No problem. Put out an APB. I'm outta here.

Can I be The Right to Vote?

Then, when I disappear, run it on CNN day and night, okay?

40. Exactly what I said on the radio last week
I called Stephanie Miller to say that what we need is for one to volunteer to disappear, so we could send out search parties. And what a coincidence, the searches might just happen to walk past the rally!
