Fweeper Commander Sez He Will Ask His 2000 Soldiers to Not Watch CBS
Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 02:32 AM by norml
To: PJ-Comix


Fellow Freepers, I agree with other posters here that we need to voice our discontent with jerks like Letterman, so here is what I sent to CBS after finding out about tonight's broadcast:

David Letterman has finally crossed the line with this evening's broadcast. His political bias and outright mean-spirited attacks on our President have forced me to not watch your channel again. I will ask my colleagues to do the same- I have about 2,000 fellow soldiers in my command. Regardless of Mr. Letterman's personal views, the fact is we are at war and my soldiers are in harms way while he provides our enemies propoganda with his attacks on President Bush. Shameful.

1. What the hell do attacks on Bill O'Liely
Have to do with attacks on the Preznit? It's obvious he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about and that he didn't even watch the show.

3. I saw this one
seems like something that should be looked into. I do believe that it is a violation of federal law, or at least the UCMJ for a superior officer (implied by 'in my command") to make political suggestions to his subordinates. This guy just admitted to doing just that.

or maybe he doesn't have any subordinates, despite 22 years in the Army. Seems unlikely, but I can't imagine that someone who commands 2000 soldiers has the time or inclination to watch Letterman and write letters about it.

4. If that dude is in the army, they need to kick his whiney ass OUT
I'm sorry, but that is the most whiney-assed, pansy letter I've ever read.

"Ooh, boo-hoo CBS! David Letterman smacked down our hate-filled spokesman, BillyBob O'Liely. WHAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! We want our mommies, me and my two thousand men!!!!!!MAMAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Our Pwesident is SOOOOOOOOO hurt, we can't even fight no more! MommIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And not a chickenhawk like Cheney, O'Reilly, Limbaugh and the freeper heros?

Wow.

10. Lord knows Al-Qaeda was just
one talking head away from complete domination. O'Reilly's fearsome No Spin Zone was the last thing that could keep the Terror away. But now that Letterman foolishly tore down our last line of defense, there's no telling how badly they could hurt us!

12. The most telling line of all
"I have about 2,000 fellow soldiers in my command."
Every commander worth their salt knows EXACTLY how many troops that they are responsible to.

31. Ahem! In Addition, REAL military members
always, and I mean ALWAYS capitalize the words Sailor, Soldier, Marine, or Airman in all correspondence. A REAL Soldier would know that.

18. Um, Someone should remind this guy that Dave has done alot for the Troops!
Letterman has broadcasted from Iraq and has done alot in support of our troops. I have lost count how many times ive seen dave show nothing but love for our americans who are in the Military. Biff Henderson is a war vet and does remotes in bases all the time. Its people Like O'Rielly who in the name of propaganda and lies who do the most damage by putting American lives in danger by helping create this false war. I really dont get some people..honest

21. If he's a commander
then I'm the Queen of Sheba as the saying goes. What a load. Someone needs to change this mental midget's diapers. I noticed that his post is directed to PJ-Comix. If you have ever read any of this guy's posts, you'd laugh your ass off. He's one of the most illogical posters I've ever read on the internet. This guy has yet to get out of his pj's to even take a bath, I'd wager.

Another freeper circle jerk. Rinse, repeat.

28. I don't understand it.
These people live on propaganda and "political bias and outright mean-spirited attacks" -- ie. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, White House press releases -- yet they can't stand to see someone air their personal views because they happen to be liberal?

Should we just ban liberal thought altogether? Jesus fucking Christ..

35. What a weenie
Someone doesn't like Bill O'Reilly and that makes him a fifth columnist for the enemy (whoever the hell that is this week)? Furthermore, you will order your troops not to watch Letterman?
If that is the caliber of our officer corps these days, we're in a world of hurt. Fortunately, I imagine that this guy (w/2000 troops he's a colonel, I think) probably has some good NCO's who know how to screen the men from this kind of Mickey Mouse bullshit.
