goldberg rebuttal: 100 people who are REALLY screwing up america
making a list of the top 100 people who are screwing up america sure seems tough when they're all powerless liberals. goldberg had to put in 4 or 5 non-persons like "the viscious celebrity".

i propose a list, of those who actually have power, who are screwing up america. feel free to add.

I'll start. the number 1 person screwing up america is:

1. Rupert Murdoch - is there even a debate about this one?

4. I nominate
Rush Limbaugh....

spewing toxic rhetoric "across the fruited plain." Teaching us that it's "okay" for "real Americans" to hate....to hate liberals, to hate anybody of a different race...to hate those who are poor...

yep.

there are lots of reasons Rush should be in the top 100 of people who are screwing up America...hell maybe the top 10...the top 5 even!!!!

5. Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Michale Savage
Ann Coulter
Ben Ginsberg


These people make it ok to hate. They validate hate, bigotry and predudice. They allow people to feel comfortable with their hatred and demonization of people who do not agree with them.

No one on the left is as vicious or mean spirited as that crew.

11. Sun Myung Moon
http://www.perkel.com/politics/moonies/

The Moonies are a dangerous mind control cult with millions of followers and billions of dollars. Reverend Moon is a religous nut who is trying to take over the world. Moon openly admits that he thinks he is God and he expects to be worshipped! As you read my Washington Times exerpts from Moon's web site, you will see how deeply rooted the Moonies are in the press, the Christian evangelical movement, and the Republican Party. If you're a member of the Press, a Christian, or a Republican, this should scare the Hell out of you.

20. Never misunderestimate that exCIA ?illionare Richard Scaife Mellon.
Machinegun Cheney flys into Latrobe once a year on AF2 and takes the limo out to Rolling Rock on a pilgrimage everybit as serious as a haj. They let birds out of cages near the shooting range and blast them out of the sky with expensive designer shotguns as a ritual. It's there that Cheney gets his marching orders from the patron devil of CIA-Saudi-oil monoply croney crapitalism. Ask David Brock about this guy.

44. How Could You Leave Out Grover Norquist?!?!?
He belongs on the list ahead of, at least, your 7, 8, or 9. I don't disagree on any of your choices, but you might need a top 11, to include that idiot.

Just ten I thought should be included among the 100. Norquist certainly belongs among them as well.

What a tool that guy is. He actually believes that if we eliminated gov't spending the economy would be better. Obviously, never got past Econ 101 and took too few polisci classes.

18. The "Unknown Leaker"
Surely this traitor has to be the most vile, evil character ever. He/she/it outted a CIA agent...well maybe she wasn't really an agent, and her husband's an asshole, anyway :sarcasm:

Of course this isn't Karl Rove or anyone who knows him or he likes or he's talked to for the past 5 years. This vile leaker remains unknown and ready to attack again...surely we must find this evil leaker and save our nation.

Weren't Goldberg's 15 minutes up decades ago?

25. a country everybody hates(!)
strange, eh? here you have the most intensively invested in political entity in human history, with all its blessings heaped up to the fukking sky, an omnipotent god its trust placed in, its culture movies tv etc the global standard, its wealth such that 30 years ago it could send a dozen manned missions to the moon, yet NO ONE DEFENDS THE FUKKING THING!
lotsa talk, yeah, but goldberg mocks them with their own witlessness

27. Jon Stewart tore him a new asshole................
when he started spouting that shit on TDS. You could see that Jon was trying to be as diplomatic as he could possibly be, but he slipped a few times even then. Goldberg is the neo-con's neo-con. A Neanderthal, POS from the word, GO!

Jon really had to control himself, and I've never seen him dis a guest as much as he did Goldberg. Jon's thoughts on Goldberg and his POS book were very transparent. Jon couldn't wait for the interview to be over, Goldberg was that disgusting.

37. Didn't you know?
Carter's Habitat For Humanity is building affordable housing for poor people. You know, doing exactly what the pukes said to do, give them a hand up not a hand out. Poor Jimmy thought they really ment that, he didn't realize they just want to deport anyone who doesn't fit into their little idea of Amerikkka...

47. Jon was right 2 criticize goldberg
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 11:22 AM by xxqqqzme
4 not including people WITH power. Rupert Murdoch should lead the list since he controls a hunkachunka media. Is rush on the list? I credit him w/ starting the very hate & bile goldberg was complaining about. newt? robertson? falwell? any bush? katherine harris? since she made it OK 2 disenfranchise the votes of people of color. Any member of SCOTUS?

who the f*ck is goldberg anyway? I vaguely remember him as a talking head on, I think, NBC? but didn't he just do human interest pieces - man bites dog thing? a Charles Kurault wannabe but never quite made the grade? It has been so long since I watched network TV I can barely recall him.

41. Pretty Much ANYONE on the big three Cable News
is doing serious harm to America. Jon Stewart had it right when he went on Crossfire and said "Stop It. Your Hurting Us"

Some mean well I know... but it's few and far between.
