The Creepy Word Du Jour: "The Homeland"

[Stinky The Clown]

It is being endlessly uttered by this person,



Little Franny Townsend, as she 'briefs the nation' on the National Intelligence Estimate.

Interestingly, she keyed us right off the bat that this 'briefing' was going to be PURE POLITICAL BULLSHIT. She started out saying we could read the facts int he NIE, already released. **She** on the other hand, would tell us how 'they' are responding.

These Big Brother Motherfuckers MUST be driven to the sea like rats.

(Note to Little Franny ..... it is Arabian gUlf ..... not Arabian gOlf ...... golf is one of the things the guy you worship does with his Poppy in Maine.)

1. It's given me the creeps for years now. Why did they ever go to

this type of terminology?

[Jed Dilligan]

8. I think it's a useful term

if you're planning on colonizing the entire world.

[ixion]

13. yep, me too...

it's a creepy word with very nazish connotations.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. yes the Nazis used the word Homeland

[snappyturtle]

21. or was it "Fatherland"? If nothing else Homeland is too close to

sounding like Fatherland. You know if it makes us feel this Nazi connection how awful it must sound to the rest of the world!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. Heimatland

[snappyturtle]

25. ?????? What does Heimatland mean? Fatherland? thanks. nt

[Maribelle]

2. Rove wote the National Intelligence Estimate?

It sure sounds like a pile of propaganda extraordinairea to me.

This is a sham.

3. Some collagen injections to her lips would really help her. She looks like Skeletor.

[formercia]

23. That's why I could never understand

what black men see in white women.

Flame on.

[Algorem]

4. der faderland

[pnwmom]

7. Exactly. That's exactly what it reminds me of. Disgusting. n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Yup .....

.... they didn't even BOTHER to try to hide the source of the word's use.

[Jed Dilligan]

10. More specifically:

5. John O'Neill knew about Saudi terror links

An Outsider's Quick Rise To Bush Terror Adviser
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/26/AR2005082601511_pf.html

but she seems to have simply followed the BushCo koolaid and isn't fighting the real enemies of this country. Der Fatherland unt der GOP needs to destroy the Constitution first, THEN go after their enemies, the progressives and the Democrats.

6. Two of my many pet peeves

Homeland being substituted for America

The letter U being pronounced like the letter O as in Oltimate and Golf


Thank you.

30. The "Surge" is really predeployment for an Iran attack it seemstome

and we're all being prepped and shaved for the operation to begin. Seems like they've picked sometime in late Aug or early Sept, since they've got Lindsey Graham sputtering about this timeline stuff. Por que mis amigos ?

[Sparkly]

11. I think it's "Al-Qaeda-In-Iraq"

At some point in this press conference I started humming:

Al Qaeda in Iraq,
Al Qaeda in Iraq,
Hi-ho the dairy-o
Al Qaeda in Iraq...

I think that's the new soundbyte. "Is Al Qaeda in Iraq?" "Certainly, haven't you heard of Al Qaeda in Iraq? Al Qaeda's in Iraq."

(Nevermind that Pakistan place.)

[EVDebs]

32. We better get our troops home here NOW for that inevitable attack then nt

[Sparkly]

34. But we're fighting Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq there so we don't have to fight Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq here.

If we leave, Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq will follow us home!! We must defeat Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq, because Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq has made Iraq the central front in the war on terror!! The homeland is threatened by Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq!!

[EVDebs]

35. But but but, they're bigger than bedbugs so we can spot 'em at the borders !

Unless of course the Army's not bringing them in on student visas like that Atta character and allothose pilots-in-training at US air bases.

[AlCzervik]

12. Fatherland, Czar, whats next---Ministers? All creepy.

[SOS]

14. Refer to DHS as Department of Fatherland Security

It's a better translation from the original.

[npincus]

15. Very Third-Reichish

Let's hope it goes away under our next Dem president.

[C_U_L8R]

16. Homelands are for Nazis

nuff said

[kestrel91316]

17. I think she meant Der Vaterland.

[formercia]

18. How many times did she mention Fearless Leader per page?

At Dachau, they made the female guards bury the dead.

Ship her candy-ass to Iraq.

[annabanana]

19. It was being echoed on MSNBC by that Contessa person...

and a couple of others, too. My first reaction is ??Al-Qaida is ready to attack Germany in the '40's??

It's beyond creepy.

[rucky]

22. She needs to raid Romney's makeup kit. n/t

[Harry Monroe]

26. Rename the department "Department of DOMESTIC Security"

Has a nice ring to it, no?? BTW, I wonder who in the 2nd Reich (Bush II Administration) came up with the moniker "HOMELAND"??

[Stinky The Clown]

27. Take a guess ......

... it has this fucker's fingerprints all over it ......

[SIMPLYB1980]

28. Don't you mean "Heimatland"!

These fascist truly scare me!

[EVDebs]

33. LOL I loved "Jackass: The Foreign Policy" movie poster ! Print those up !

[SIMPLYB1980]

37. LoL thanks!

[Perry Logan]

29. Let's start calling it "The Motherland." I'm cool with that.

[Bigleaf]

31. Another creepy term they came up with is ..

war CZAR.

[Blue_In_AK]

36. Two words...

Fucking Nazis.
