Why Schultz is dead wrong about Murtha and the military of the former USA.
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 11:55 AM by Yollam
I've always considered service in America's armed forces is an honorable profession, but in my opinion, this is not America.


This is what people like Schultz fail to grasp.

This government is neither legitimate, nor merely corrupt or incompetent.

It is a fascist coup d'etat that has supplanted the legitimate government of the US and immediately began dismantling what was left of this country.

And their deliberately allowing terrorists to attack NYC and the pentagon was the last straw for me.

I've believed it from day one, and I believe it more strongly than ever now.

I wouldn't serve in the Bushco military any more than I would serve in Stalin's.

People I know "out in the world" - even my democrat father - consider this to be an extremist position. He refuses to even consider the possibility that Bushco would deliberately allow an attack, even given the history of Operation Northwoods, etc.

To me, Bushco's guilt is more obvious than Scott Peterson's or OJ's ever was. It amazes me how many people are unable or unwilling to see it. People do so cling to normalcy.


(BTW, I am anything but a "conspiracy theorist". I don't believe there were bombs at WTC 1, 2, or 7, and I don't buy into the silly stories about missiles into the Pentagon. But I see the pattern of behavior from 2001, from bribing, then threatening the Taliban, to ignoring the Aug. 6 PDB, to Bush's bizarre inaction on the AM 9-11, to the complete paralysis of the world's greatest military as the events unfolded that day, and then the way Bushco opposed ANY investigation into those events until they got a whitewash panel they could live with (But Hamilton's a 'DEMOCRAT', my naive dad says). The motive is there, the capacity is there, and the history of ruthless behavior is there. If this were a criminal investigation, Bush & Co. would be suspect #1.)

Is there proof enough to do anything about it legally? Not after the 9-11 commission's NON-investigation. But my suspicion's are grave enough that I could never knowingly work on behalf of these thugs in any capacity.

This is no more "America" than Nazi Germany in 1939 was still the Weimar republic. Even though the machinery of its democracy still appeared to be there and functioning, their democracy was as dead as ours is.

And that's all I have to say about that.

2. Schultz should stop pandering to the "righties" as he

refers to them, and trying to suck them into his vast listening audience.

3. I call Bullshit even on that
Schultz is a rightie who is attempting to convert the centrist Dems over to the dark side.
They ARE the only ones he appeals to.
Reminds me of that Alan Jackson song "Gone Country".
All these washed up singers in their particular genre of music decided to go "country" because that was the going thing.
However, Rabid Right Wing talk radio is FULL--no room for a Rush wannabe.
So he does the next best thing--throws on a liberal suit and does his schtick.
Still can't hide what he is.

4. Listening to Ed Schultz talk about Murtha's statement
reminded me so much of Rush that I actually had to turn off the radio for a time. I could hear the venom in Ed's voice as he characterized Murtha's statement as "discouraging people from joining the military"...
But that's not what Murtha said. He was asked if he would join the military today and he said no.
Ed went totally overboard and sounded out of control and unwilling to listen to anyone who disagreed with him.

5. K&R
I agree with you completely. This is no longer "America"; this is a fascist regime and must be fought at all levels. If you fight against the Bush dictatorship, then you must, perforce, fight against this government.

And I agree that this regime actively anticipated a "Pearl Harbor-like" attack of some sort. The magnitude and severity, the death toll, were probably greater than they expected, but they took whatever was given to them. "9/11" was this dictatorship's "Reichstags fire"; they hit the ground running and never looked back.

Just remember: a nicer, gentler fascism is still fascism, nonetheless.

Blackmail is also a traditional fascist tool; and I am afraid that the Democrats have been blackmailed into subservience and bought-off with power and job security - that's the only thing that could justify their "going along" with this coup...

6. Schultz is very wrong very often.
I used to listen but I got tired of all the incorrect information he was giving out. His facts were wrong and he didn't care. I'd e-mail his program and they would either argue with me or ask me more questions, thus making me their fact-checker. I soon stopped listening - just wasn't worth the aggravation (or work!).
