The New Republic: Controversial Code Pink Has Made A Name For Itself On Capitol Hill

[katg21]

If I''''m a hater, neocons like you drove me to it.

Posted by Rafterman1 at 12:56 PM : Aug 20, 2007

Always blaming someone else, typical liberal. You were never a Reagan republican.

[katg21]

Rafterman1,

See, you''re out of control and full of hate...that is the point I was making with my previous posts and you have justified it beautifully.

[xzavierbrown]

Thanks to W and the neo-cons the U.S is now viewed by the rest of the world as a staggering drunk with a loaded gun.

There is a certain amount of fear and apprehension, but also distain and disgust.

"Controversial Code Pink Has Made A Name For Itself On Capitol Hill"

It is true - they have made a name for themselves; that name is "MOONBAT".

Let''''s face the facts - these individuals are the outer fringe of society, and government conspiracy theories, crystal worship, and tin foil hat wearing is standard fare for them.

And, let''''s not forget about The New Republic''''s fake stories, supposedly of the misdeeds of American soldiers (which have been proven false), erroneously reported by the lying husband of an employee of TNR: Scott Thomas Beauchamp.

Code Pink and The New Republic will be relegated to the "laughingstock" and "irrelevant" sections of history books.

[rafterman1]

Katg21, you don''t know s h i t about me, so shove it. I only hate on narrow minded f*ckwads like you. You and the rest of the Bush loving neocons attack libs and dems (meaning you attack me) with hateful rheteric, calling us traitors and worse. I''m a USMC veteran and used to be a moderate Republican, a Reagan guy and my first vote was for Bush Sr. But to you, the "far left" is anyone who doesn''t goosestep in line with Bush. In the past, I''ve had pretty to say around here on how to withdraw from Iraq realistically, but got tired of being called a coward by people like you for daring to suggest King George has it wrong. You neocons call us haters, but do your best to kick immigrants out, lock up Muslims and ban gay marriage. So who''s the hater? If I''m a hater, neocons like you drove me to it.

The right person for President will not do the above, and will help lead us in repairing the damage.

Just as I expected, you can''t answer the question. I am well aware of how you feel about this administration; can almost predict word for word what you would say and don''t care anymore. Hot air, ALL OF IT. You people are the problem! You preach about bringing the troops home and about peace, how is that accomplished? Give us a solution already!!! Another thing, you scream about the corruption in this administration and then you turn around and sing the praises of the Clintons...hypocrites all of you. You have no credibility whatsoever. Put up or shut up already.

[andor3]

katg asks: "is there a "right" person for the job of president and why do you think this person will do anything different than Bush?"

George Bush is a criminal, an enemy of America and Americans and their rights. He has failed to uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights. He has weakened America and aided her enemies. He has impeded justice. The indictments against him are solid, and only politics prevent his impeachment and removal. His failures in action and inaction have resulted in the death and injury of thousands of people, some U.S. soldiers. He has done damage to America that will take us a long time to repair.

Still, the worst offense is not by Bush, but by those supported him, and even worse by any who continue to aid and abet him.

The right person for President will not do the above, and will help lead us in repairing the damage.

[xzavierbrown]

xzavierbrown, excuse me but you SUV driving suburban clowns would be the ones angry about higher gas prices. This war was immoral, unjust and unncessary from the beginning. These Code Pink women are true American heroes, at least on par with the poor unfortunatey soldiers sent off by Bush & co for no valid reason (then brought back in body bags or legless, forgotten when no longer useful to the neocon cause).

This is one clown that rides a bike everywhere. ironic though its those SUVs with "no war for oil" or "war is not the answer" that is always trying to run my down off the street.
No war has any moral background and I am not disputing thier tenacity towards what they belive in. It is the "moving forward" that is incorrect. Moving our troops out of middle east would not stop terrorism BUT would just embolden our enmies, would put our resources (OIL) in danger. Bottomline, we need to secure our interest but at the same time start moving away from that dependency. we have the technology BUT we dont have the desire..(hence these same ladies are the same ladies that would bicker and whine when they dont get thier gasoline to go to another protest)
CONSERVE OIL..CONSERVE OUR RESOURCES..CREATING NEW ALTERNATIVES..that is the answer

[katg21]

Nah we love America thats all. Bush is only a minor irritation
Posted by andor3 at 11:45 AM : Aug 20, 2007

Well now that''s some rational thinking on your part, however, Rafterman is the specific person I was speaking of, he''s consumed with hatred. Read his posts. It''s bothersome to most of us Republicans to hear the far left rhetoric and talking points constantly thrown all over the news and these boards, while no solutions are ever discussed. Sure, we all want the troops home but come on, do you honestly think that can happen quickly? The problem with a lot of liberals is that they think they know better than everyone in our government. They haven''t seen the intellegence on the matter; don''t have to deal with all of the responsibilities of running the country, yet they are the authority and to hell with anyone who disagrees. Rafterman is one of these irrational people. Constantly wants to pick a fight with the right. A hateful person. So I ask you this, is there a "right" person for the job of president and why do you think this person will do anything different than Bush?

[andor3]

katg says: "... your world which revolves around Bush. You are obsessed with hatred."

Nah we love America thats all. Bush is only a minor irritation. It''s like when a hiker wanders between a mama bear and her cub--the mama doesn''t hate the hiker, she just wants him out of the way. And he better move aside quick.

[katg21]

Gotta love you neocons, who think the world revolves around Bush
Posted by Rafterman1 at 10:58 AM : Aug 20, 2007

On the contrary, Rafterman, it is your world which revolves around Bush. You are obsessed with hatred.

[dragonmouse-2009]

Maybe they need to spend a little time over there themselves to really get a feel for what''s going on. I also don''t think they''re very "respectful" of those that have served over there. Are they saying that those men and women have no purpose and shouldn''t feel good about the job they did because PINK thinks the war is a waste? Things aren''t as "PINK and White" as they think they are.

They say they want to back Iraqi women well many of them have only NOW been able to lift that veil. Changes don''t just come by "magic".

I''m tired of the war too but...it''s not as easy to walk away as people think. Bush, for good or bad, isn''t the ONLY deciding factor. This whole idea of "impeaching" him is silly...No president makes the "sole" decision to start or end a war. I think these people need to go back to school and see how the "process" works.

This whole middle east thing is like being faced down by a rabid dog. Your eyes are locked together and the dog is just waiting for you to turn and walk off. If you move that dog is going to bite your keester. You need to subdue the dog before you can get out of dodge.

If they want us out so bad all they have to do is "behave" for a few months and quit blowing each other up. I''m quite certian we''ll have the chance to leave then.

[rafterman1]

===These women in pink are hate mongers, driven by their disdain for Bush, nothing more.===

Gotta love you neocons, who think the world revolves around Bush. You act like they woke up one day deciding to hate on Bush for no reason. Well, we all hate Bush, but we got plenty of reasons. The war in Iraq, the corruption, the shredding of the Constitution, the damage his policies have done to this country and his general air of arrogance and stupidity are the top reasons.

[katg21]

ITS IS THE OTHER SIDE THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF PEACE OF CO-EXISTANCE.
Posted by libsluvsuvs at 11:23 PM : Aug 19, 2007

Well said. I don''t think there''s a person in this country who doesn''t want peace; but most understand that achieving peace is not as easy as just bringing the troops home. The bigger picture is often ignored in order to achieve instant gratification, to push an agenda. Do any of these anti-war people really ever see the whole picture or just theirs? Do they have a reasonable plan for dealing with what will come after we pull the troops out...NO. These women in pink are hate mongers, driven by their disdain for Bush, nothing more.

You''re actually right Rafterman. I remember hearing this line earlier in the war, but somebody in the Bush Administration probably told Bush and Cheney that if the Iraqis actually stand up on their own, that would give us a reason to leave. Leaving Iraq is CLEARLY not a goal of the Bush Administration. That has been made clear when Bush has continuously rejected any form of time-tables and/or benchmarks.

The movie/documentary: "Iraq for Sale", says it all.

[rafterman1]

===..."When They Stand Up, We Stand Down"===

Actually, this one is OK and makes sense. But the neocons won''t do anything to light a fire under the Iraqis to get them to "stand up". The one weak attempt by Congress (the Iraqi funding bill with provisions for benchmarks) was vetoed by lil'' Bushie.

[skyk-2009]

now sinking this nation in a level of denial that if we pull our troops that we will have peace is foolish and dangerous..SOMETHING THAT I WOULD NOT PUT UP WITH.
Posted by xzavierbrown at 12:45 AM : Aug 20, 2007

Would you PLEASE tell us what the War in Iraq is all about? Not the present spin because thats a LONG way from the spin that sent our kids off to die in that desert. You Fascist continue to attack anyone and everyone who wants to end this insanity and as a Combat Veteran of Vietnam, I fail to understand you. You paint those who want to end it as being UnPatriotic and UnAmerican while allowing all the lies and deception that created the mess to go. I ask you which is more UNAMERICAN, attacking and continuing to occupy a nation that had NOTHING to do with any attack on us for OIL or finding a better way to fuel our nations needs? Is ONE American Life worth a barrel of oil? I sure hope not!!
