schilling is human garbage

[Gato Moteado]

hey, look folks....i'm as happy for the red sox as anyone is. but let's be honest, and i'm going to remain consistent with my feelings about bush apologists no matter who they are. i don't fault schilling for being a baseball player that used his media exposure for making a political statement after the game or for campaigning with his favorite candidate for president. i fault him for being a freeper, a fake christian, and a republican dirtbag.

the very fact that schilling supports the most vile, corrupt and evil administration in the history of our country is enough to make me lose any ounce of respect for him i ever had.

freepers = human garbage
republicans = human garbage
schilling = human garbage

[Mz Pip]

1. He's a dumbass

baseball player. Who cares what he thinks? I can't imagine any Kerry supporter changing over to Bush because freeptard Bosox dude tells 'em to. People who vote for Bush will do so without the help of schilling.

:dem:

[bushwakker]

5. nh is close and red sox fever is running absolutely wild

what if he motivates some yahoos who weren't going to vote? i think this is damaging.

[bushwakker]

2. oddly enuf the sox winnning the ws could cost kerry the election

i believe schilling helps bush in nh (this region is in the threall of a sports team madness the likes of which has never been seen) and if it's enuf to carry the state (bush won by 4000? votes last time) then it could be enuf to win the election. if gore carried nh 4 years ago none of this would have happened. then there's maine?

[DemNoir]

3. As a Red Sox fan of 36 yrs

I agree. This is killing my World Championship buzz. Hes a great pitcher but sadly, a jerk as well.

[AlamoDemoc]

4. The asshole will be booed on Saturday's Sox parade

[zippy890]

7. COUNT ON IT

[Bluebear]

53. Where do we meet with Kerry signs?

[mindfulNJ]

83. don't politicize the parade

That will backfire on Kerry! Ignore Schilling and his stupid-ass comments and let us Red Sox fans celebrate the win. This is ridiculous!

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. All those multi-millionaires think alike.....

Shit for brains.

[zappaman]

8. I have to disagree.

He's a born-again. Born-agains should vote for Bush. He is clearly their guy.
Not to mention he has as much right to voice his support for Bush as Springsteen does for Kerry.

[Gato Moteado]

12. like i said.....

...i don't fault him for voicing his opinion. that's what freedom of speech is all about.

i do, however, fault him for supporting a fascist regime. he's no better than a common, white trash freeper.

i'll say it again:

schilling = human garbage

[kevin881]

45. yes hes a religious fanatic. he says his pitching is not him, but "god."

[St. Jarvitude]

73. To be fair, he said that God helped him pitch through his injury

Frankly, if I were able to have the strength to go six innings on one fucking leg, I might think something was up too.

But yeah... he's still a cockhead.

[kevin881]

87. and I quote:

"It was all god out there."

[louis c]

66. Born Agains should not vote Bush

I know many that are dead set against Bush.

Abortions have increased under Bush. Poverty has increased. People are dying for a lie.

Are you shitting me?

Real Christians, who believe in the true teachings of the New Testament should be doing all they can to defeat the anti-christ, George Bush.

[liberal_in_GA]

68. No, REAL born-agains

follow the teachings of Christ, not that greedy, corrupt and immoral administration.

[high density]

9. How many different threads do we need about this?

My Grandparents are Republicans and I do not consider them to be human garbage.

[BillZBubb]

13. I'll do it for you!

If they vote for Bush*, knowing what we know now, they are garbage.

[high density]

20. Thanks a lot.

I've never seen such a nasty comment in all of my life. I love my grandparents very deeply and while I can't explain their votes, I'm not letting this POS of a president shatter my relationship with them.

[incapsulated]

18. Really, you don't?

You don't think they should be exterminated with all the other human garbage that votes for Bush just cause they're your grandparents? What kind of Democrat are you?

/disgusted sarcasm

I repeat myself: This election can't be over soon enough.

[ScreamingMeemie]

64. Apparently 6,993.1...and counting.

:eyes:

[FrankenforMN]

10. I got tired of him "thanking God" after everything he did....

All Christians love God, but when an athlete thanks God after he wins a game, it almost is like saying "God favors me over some poor guy on the street." I don't think it is right.

[bushwakker]

17. the finger point to the sky by athletes just kills me

pedro martinez and david ortiz were doing a lot of that - but it's all over sports now.

[Cha]

35. You are sooo right..it's Not right!

Where's that quote from the Bible I saw on DU the other day that says something about..you're not really a true believer if you have to tout your faith?..

Sorry..something like that.

[indigobusiness]

36. I'm beginning to think most Christians wouldn't recognize God ...

if he crapped on their nachos.

[FrankenforMN]

70. I take offense to that :/

[indigobusiness]

79. Why?

Are you having nachos?

[indigobusiness]

84. BTW...As much as I despise the feel-good phonies...

I more than make up for in respect for sincere and guileless spiritual seekers. Christian or otherwise.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. I observed that the whole lot of that bunch looked and acted

more like wear-housemen or truck drivers than professional athletes. It didn't generate much excitement or inspire.

[iwantmycountryback]

14. I couldn't agree more

And I didn't even k now he was a Bush supporter when I thought this. This just makes him even worse.

[Mz Pip]

15. Someone on the Red Sox

must be a Kerry supporter and could do a counter punch to this.

MzPip
:dem:

[indigobusiness]

39. Theo Epstein did

sp?

[kaitykaity]

16. Oh, bullshit.

He's a true believer.

Fault the Bush people for using that belief in a disgusting,
horrible way.

But real believers, people who walk the walk instead of just
talking the talk, are definitely not "human garbage."

[Gato Moteado]

23. he's a real believer in fascism.....

and illegal wars, and tax breaks for the rich while screwing the working class. need i go on?

at some point i had to stop giving these "true believers" a free pass. if he's too damn stupid to see how horrible the republican party has become, it's no excuse. our existence...the very existence of our planet...is in danger because of these so called "true believers". they're all human garbage.

[kaitykaity]

24. It's not that simple and you damn well know it.

Great way to dehumanize a fellow human being.

I can't begin to guess where you learned that particular
disgusting habit.

[Gato Moteado]

30. he's no fellow human being of mine.....

....he's another rich dirtbag that cares not for the health and well-being of the people of this earth.

yeah, sometimes i feel a bit guilty for dehumanizing these "people" but then i remember what their selfish, disgusting, dangerous ideology is all about and i stop feeling guilty. these people support killing innocent people in foreign countries. these people believe that the rich are some how entitled to the wealth they have and no amount of breaking the law should ever get them in trouble. these people think the exploitation of the poor in this country and around the world is justified.

sorry....these people, and those that support them, are garbage.

[kaitykaity]

32. That's where you become JUST LIKE THEM.

They hate us and feel we're sub-human filth.

You hate them and feel that they are sub-human filth.

What makes you any better than they are, hm?

[Gato Moteado]

42. should we coddle hitler and his followers?

hell no.

these people are just as bad.

[kaitykaity]

47. When you play the Hitler card,

I win.

Bush may be evil, but that doesn't mean that
the people he has fooled are.

Bush has worked tirelessly to play on on the
beliefs of people like Schilling, and to denounce
Schilling categorically like you are makes you
just as bad as any raving right winger.

You have every right to be angry at Bush and
his crowd.

But you cut off your own nose with your intolerance
by denouncing the true believers, the walk the walkers,
in such a callous fashion.

You're not convincing anybody.

[Gato Moteado]

52. walk the walkers?

gimme a break. how many fundies do you know that are "walk the walkers"? they're nuts. schilling is a spoiled rich athlete....not a walk the walker.

yeah, i'm intolerant of their intolerance. that makes me intolerant, i agree. oh well.

yeah, i played the hitler card. it hardly means you won. fascists are fascists and their followers are bootlickers.

[kaitykaity]

60. You don't know that.

You don't know how he lives his life.

You don't know if he walks the walk.

So you're spouting shit because you're jealous
that he's rich or something.

But calling him a fascist doesn't make him one.
Just like when the wingers repeat something over
and over doesn't make it true.

We're supposed to be opposed to interolerance
of all forms. That's what makes us supposedly better
than them. That you practice it so openly is really
sad.

Yeah, you played the hitler card because you didn't
have another play.

[Gato Moteado]

80. you don't know how he lives his life either.....

....but we do know he supports a fascist regime.

that's all we really need to know.

[George W. Dunce]

62. Hate leads to the dark side Luke!

[newsguyatl]

33. i'm with you on this one flush_bush

[Gato Moteado]

58. thanks. yeah there's really no good way to spin it for schilling....

he's an idiot.

[0007]

81. I agree with you!

[Cha]

37. I tend to agree..I just posted above

a question about a Bible quote(Which one is it?) that in essence says ..if you really believe.. than you don't have to go around bragging on it.

[kaitykaity]

48. A part of his faith obviously is to "witness."

It's a Pentacostal thing, but very much a
part of the denomination.

[Gato Moteado]

54. yeah and supposedly pentacostals don't drink.....

....yet in his post game interview the last thing he said was "it's time for me to go drinkin'".

they're fake christians. wake up.

mother teresa was a christian. schilling's a redneck.

[kaitykaity]

61. I made a guess that he's Pentacostal.

First he's a fascist, now he's a redneck.

Make up your mind.

I still think you're jealous because he has two
rings and is rich or whatever.

[Gato Moteado]

75. you're making quite a lot of guesses

i'm not jealous. i just hate fascists. and one can be both a fascist and a redneck.

[Fed Up]

19. I predicted this.

I knew Schilling would bring up the religious stuff, but before I went to bed I thought to myself, "Watch Schilling on Thursday say to vote for Bush."

Damn I'm a good observer.

PS does anybody really think this will sway anybody? If you already don't like Bush then Schillings words fall on deaf ears. The stupid people who drink it up probably won't vote anyway.

[Cha]

40. You're right..it won' t sway any Kerry voters but

it might change some fence sitters who were leaning Kerry.

It's just something that needs to be counter balance with someone pointing out the obvious..that Jesus wouldn't bomb a Country for no reason and kill over a 100,000 Iraqis and.. our Soldiers dying for the naked chimp.

The chimp lies, cheats, and steals as well as killing innocents.

What is there about bush that turns on schilling so much?

[MADem]

21. I say LET IT GO

Schilling is so unimportant in the big scheme. LOOK AT THE GREAT DAY WE HAD!!!

Sox won. Rudy said the TROOPS were wrong to not have more of themselves to guard the ammo dump. 80K people out to see Kerry and Bruce. THE AMMO STORY...that crushed the Shrub! HALLIBURTON, Pentagon on the ROPES!!! Absentee ballots gone missing--replacements being sent out, people riled up and pissed off! That faked photoshopped ad of weecowboy's....attack of the clones, who should have been guarding that ammo dump, I guess!

This is AMERICA. Schilling has every right to be DUMB. We hate it when they take our freedom, let him vote for Bush because his single issue is that the cheap bastard wants to ruin our schools, deny health care to people, and destroy our country, just so he keeps his tax cut. We know he doesn't care about the regular people, he is showing that with his endorsement.

I don't like it, but I, unlike this administration, say he has the right to vote like a goddamn selfish fool.

It won't do him any good, though--we are gonna WIN.

[MattP]

22. Schilling

After the Yankee series when he was interviewed by Dan Patrick on sportscenter radio he asked him about Arod's play knocking the ball out of the pitchers hand and he said it was a "Kerryleauge play"

[cubsfan forever]

27. Believe he "meant" Bush league

The JERK!

Professor 2

[Cha]

41. I heard someone said that on the radio

..now I might have known it was schilling. At least there's no one else out there to my knowledge acting like a complete disillioned idiot on the Red Sox.

Welcome to DU!

[VOX]

46. Shilling did indeed say this, and he thought it was cute...

Even the freepers heard it:
http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1252781/posts

All I can say about Shilling is, he has a great arm and team spirit, but his brain -- man, is **that** ever lacking.

[DemocracyInaction]

25. God is an American and he spends all his time rewarding athletes

and people with money. Don't believe me?? Then just ask these athletes and money people. They can't stop spouting it on tv. God has children starving but he's watching over a game. I'm a devout Red Sox fan and the Sox are God up here in New England; but jesushchrist, enough of this tv preacherman horse fucking shit!!! Christ died on a cross so that Shilling could pitch a World Series game------now what is fucked up about that logic!!!!!??? We have turned religion into a fucking joke in this nation. This nation has become a "clown". The world laughs at us and eventually our ever growing ignorance (and proud of it) will make us into second rate status in this world and the world will laugh.

[FrankenforMN]

26. How do you think this garbage goes over in Boston? n/t

[cubsfan forever]

28. I live close to Boston: Not well. n/t

[Amaya]

29. may I ask some questions?

I've been gone for a few days, so apparently I'm out of the loop.

Questions:
What did Schilling (of the red sox, right?) say?
What does it have to do with bush?
And why should I care?

[incapsulated]

31. Answers

1) He said on tv to go and vote, and to vote for Bush.
2) See #1
3) No reason that I can see.

:hi:

[Amaya]

38. Been reading the numerous threads

Looks like I didn't miss much
:eyes:

[alarcojon]

34. Schilling is a star pitcher for the Red Sox

he is a born-again Christian, and in the after-game interviews has been heavy on the "I couldn't have done it without the Lord" rhetoric. And, of late, he has been loudly professing his love for Bush all over the media.

on edit: apparently he's stumping for Bush now in New Hampshire:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=939988&mesg_id=939988

He's a great pitcher, but his political views should be of no consequence to anyone. The only thing is that he has an extremely high profile in a certain demographic right now, so his pro-Bush rantings might have some effect. It is not just Bostonians who have been following the Red Sox - they have been a sentimental favorite since they beat the Yankees (who many people around the country loathe) AND won their first World Series title since 1918.

[President Jesus]

43. cool down. every one of us would do that same for Kerry...

...that is, if we were being interviewed by Good Morning America, I would hope every DUer would try to slip in a "Vote Kerry" with just days to go before the election.

So the guy likes Bush. So do about 50 million other people. That makes them all human garbage?

sheesh

[Bluebear]

44. No, not every one would do the same.

I don't expect Tiger Woods to come off the 18th tee and say "Vote for _____". I don't expect Michelle Kwan to skate over to get her scores and say "Vote for _____". Schilling did this the moment the Sox plane touched down. It was ill-timed, it was inappropriate, it divided Red Sox nation when we should be celebrating.

[Cha]

50. I wonder how the other Red Sox feel about

it? The ones who aren't voting for garbage?

[louis c]

69. Let's get something straight

If you used your fame to support FDR in 1932, and someone else of equal fame supported Adolf Hitler, do you think it's the same thing.

How can you believe that Bush is the worst thing that ever happened to this country, and this is the most important election in 150 years, and give Shilling a pass.

It's not the same thing. Doing what's right is not the same as doing what's wrong.

People who praised Hitler, or Stalin, or supported the KKK doesn't get a pass for just expressing their opinions.

Bush is Evil. His administration is Evil, and anyone who supports it is supporting Evil, even if they incorrectly invoke the name of God.

[msongs]

49. sorta the eminem of the right?? eom

[LittleClarkie]

51. Hey now

Much of that Republican "human garbage" is voting Kerry.

My friend at Starbucks for instance, who is conservative/moderate, but also gay. He is conflicted, but leaning Kerry. He's none too thrilled with Kerry's politics, but he can't stand Bush.

And one of those Republicans is also one of Kerry's best friends.

[CatWoman]

55. I'm firmly in your camp on this one, Mike

:hi:

[Gato Moteado]

you're always welcome in my camp darlin'

:)

[Doohickie]

56. He ain't worth the rise in your blood pressure

Forget him.

[camero]

57. Schilling is more than likely finished in baseball

Because of his ankle. Sad to say, you're not going to find many millionaire athletes that don't support Bush because money trumps the common good in too many cases with people.

As for his "professed" Christianity, a person who follows an anti-christ is an anti-christ himself. When they come to their senses then I can forgive them. Not while they give that anti-christ their support.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

59. If Schilling was a responsible person

He would have pleaded with everyone to vote for Kerry.

There is no excuse for voting for the Boy King. :spank: :thumbsdown:

[Ksec]

63. He sure did put a damper on an otherwise great victory.

What an ass. He should have left politics out of it . Now hes spoiled it for me . And a whole lot of other Dems. The dumbass should have learned to keep his fat piehole shut.

[ScreamingMeemie]

65. I'm loving this "If you're not with us, you're against us" Bush type

mentality we got going on here. I really feel the love. Sigh. I have good friends who vote Republican, it's just the way it is. We need to get over it and work to cancel their vote. Hit the streets with me!

[Maestro]

67. I realize that some sport figures are rethuglicans

Not all are, but many are, and I have no problem with that. What pisses me off about the Schilling thing is that it was totally inappropriate given the situation. If he had called * or his representatives and offered his time to shill for them, so be it, but doing that way was just stupid. He is cocky and thought that because he helped win the World Series he somehow was now a spokesperson that could sway people one way or the other. Too bad Schilling. You are a morans!!!!!!!

[gafbil1992]

71. I think it's just sad...

Schilling shilling for Bush. :)

[Oscar2000]

72. schilling does what others don't

At least he speaks out about who he supports unlike other athletes who haven’t come out and talked about the election. What an athlete says is not important to me but it does for disintested people.

[Justice]

74. Red Sox Owners Are Kerry Supporters

Tom Werner campaigned for Kerry last weekend. I have to believe they will do more for Kerry if Schilling does this.

Schilling has the right to express his view (I don't agree with him, but it is his right). I don't like him saying negative things about Kerry - that will cause problems for him.

[artv28]

76. Schilling Bio

Born in Alaska, redneck, pro-hunting/guns, born again Christian, addicted to chewing tobacco, and rich. Is it any surprise he's a Bush supporter?

[Arkana]

77. FOR PETE'S SAKE, WILL EVERYONE LET THIS GO?????

End caps. Sorry, but this REALLY pisses me off.

So he's voting Bush! Big fucking deal! How many fucking people who were previously going Kerry gonna go Bush because Curt Schilling told them to?!

This is what Freeperville sees when they send their scum to troll over here, and then they walk back to their mudhole and have a good chuckle about the "DUmmies" who are freaking out about the fact that a baseball pitcher who makes millions is voting Bush.

Curt Schilling is a fundie! Most fundies are bamboozled by Bush! My God, will everyone just let this GO?????

[A-Schwarzenegger]

78. Dumbass jock, big deal.

Mainly just a bunch of redsox fans upset, eh?

[meow mix]

82. here is the difference for those who have forgotten

[Gato Moteado]

85. schilling approves of that.....

he really "walks the walk". whatever the hell that means.

[aaronbees]

86. so the f what???

so what if he shills for Bush? I can't see it having any effect... let this go. If someone gets their panties in a wad over this and starts tagging the "human garbage" label, how insecure is that? Much more important fights to wage in the next few days than worry about this.

[indigobusiness]

88. Because arrogant, Nazi pricks like Schilling are complicit in this:
