Hindrocket Disses DU....

[MrBenchley]

Right wing loony John Hinderaker singles out two quotes from DU in his idiotic rambling...

"How is the American left responding to today's terrorist attacks in London? The posters at Democratic Underground represent the heart and soul of the left, and, arguably, of the Democratic Party. Check out this message thread for their views on the latest terrorist outrage. Warning, this is only for those with strong stomachs. The debate is basically between those who think President Bush is only indirectly responsible for the terrorist attacks, and those who think the administration actually carried out the bombings. Like this guy:

I am so cynical... That all I can think is "how convenient" that this happened to take the light off Karl Rove.
I don't think anything is on the "up-and-up" anymore, not even terrorist attacks.

Yes, that's it, all right. The Bush administration is now staging terrorist bombings to distract attention from Karl Rove."

Curiously, hindrocket did not notice that on Faux Nutcase Noise, two of the psychos were glouting aloud on-air that the bombings would conveniently distract attention from global warming and aid for Africa (oh yes they were too)...

By the way, here are some of those over-the-top statements in the thread he singled out that made right wing shits like Hindrocket puke...hope he sees this reprise and blows chunks on his keyboard..

"Blessings and prayers on the victims, families, friends, and our English friends...Suicide bombers target the working class, utilizing public transportation, for death and destruction, supposedly in retaliation for decisions made by politicians and generals riding around in bulletproof Mercedes and Cadillacs....God Bless the people of London. You're in my prayers.... Mercy on the World It is HIGH time to end the violence everywhere. We must!...Often times the loudest people during times like this are the ones who have nothing good to say (Maybe that's the one that made Hindrocket nauseous) ...

By the way, wonder what was being said by the "heart and soul" of the Republican Party at the same time? I promise, THIS stuff you WILL need a strong stomach for...

1. We in Minnesota prefer to call him AssMissile

[MrBenchley]

6. LOL!!

[Atman]

2. Maybe you should use his REAL name

I've never heard of this guy, but obviously his listeners/readers cannot be too bright. Perhaps if you prominently mentioned his REAL name here, the people who read/listen to his drivel will more readily spot your rebuttal. It is a good one. The idiots who believe his shit deserve to at least have the chance to read the truth!

7. John Hinderaker...not serving in Iraq

He's also a part of the Claremont Institute, a right wing bughouse best known for creating phony astroturf groups...like "Doctors for More Gunshot Wounds"...

Hilariously, Pat Sajak (yes, THAT Pat Sajak) is also part of Claremont's "brain trust"....

11. Works for TCF bank I believe

The site shows a complaint letter to the CEO of TCF and he basically blew it off.

These guys are tied to Thune's stolen election over Daschle. They did a completely false report and I believe a newspaper picked it up as true.

[MrBenchley]

12. Oh, he's a thorough scumbag...

3. "Check out this message thread for THEIR views..."

I musta missed the meeting where we approved that one

[MrBenchley]

8. Weird, huh....

Evidently the notion that citizens might just SPEAK UP on their own, without waiting for a flabby junkie to give them official talking points over the radio is foreign to a right wing shit like Hindrocket.

4. Powerline's not even a real blog

Real blogs have comments.

Powerline -- or, as one CONSERVATIVE critic called it on his talk radio show, "Powerlie" (I think it was Mike Mazer - he has a jones for crooked lawyers like AssMissile and Fuckhead)) -- is nothing but a Wurlitzer for propagating anti-democracy talking points.

[MrBenchley]

9. Most right wing blogs don't have comments...

First, because their idiotic gibberish falls apart so easily when commented upon by sane people...

And second, because the malignant character of those who would agree with their bullshit would be exposed publicly....

5. When Clinton was president, it was easy to find links threatening his life

posted by conservative nuts on various boards. I often wondered if the Secret Service had followed up on checking out any of those threats. They were so common as to make me think that posters felt relatively safe from the law in posting them.

[MrBenchley]

10. Still not such a chore to find such things

concerning Hillary...or any other person singled out by the right wing smear machine....as well as posts urging genocide....
