- inf0, on 04/08/2008, -2/+20ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
- hollyminkowski, on 04/08/2008, -8/+24This guy is weird.
He creeps me out whenever I see him on TV. - laserblazer, on 04/08/2008, -8/+22When you take over a country and install puppets, you really can't refer to the elections that follow as a chance to vote.
- laserblazer, on 04/08/2008, -6/+16He's right, the world is headed for a cannibal apocalypse and you're going to be one shotgun away from a mandatory dinner invitation.
- laserblazer, on 04/08/2008, -3/+13Whoever Dugg me down, I'ma eat you first!
- masterm1nd, on 04/08/2008, -6/+13It's amazing how a little perspective makes killing innocent people OK.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/08/2008, -5/+11So it's patriotic to wire up 2 downs syndrome women with bombs and send them off into a market where people are buying and selling and going on with their lives. Then detonating them? I think your definition of "patriot" is perverted to fit your politics.
- wootup, on 04/08/2008, -7/+12"He's crazy! Like a fox! In an interview with Charlie Rose last week, CNN founder Ted Turner likened Iraqi insurgents to "patriots,""
There's nothing "crazy" about that. The overwhelming majority of Iraqis oppose the presence of US troops in their country, and an increasingly large minority (and a solid majority in several provinces) openly supports Iraqi resistance attacks on US troops. They are an occupied nation, and the truth is they will keep fighting their occupiers forever until they leave; it's THEIR country, after all. What's the difference between the Iraqi resistance fighting US troops in Iraq and French resistance fighting the German army in France sixty years ago, or the Afghan resistance fighting the Soviets in the 80s (or, realistically, NATO right now)? - solid12345, on 04/08/2008, -3/+8An event like Haditha was one in a thousand. But EVERYDAY insurgents are blowing up their own neighbors. Is this how you liberate Iraq? For killing your neighbor because he prays to Allah differently?
- youtellme8, on 04/08/2008, -17/+22Turner, Gates, and Buffet.
For a change some of our society's richest members are giving me the most hope. - jcr4nf, on 04/08/2008, -0/+5Umm, no. When you proclaim that within 30 years I'll be eating my kids friends you're the crazy one, not me.
- solid12345, on 04/08/2008, -3/+8So Iraqi patriots that blow up rival Mosques and kidnap Sunni or Shia civilians off the streets and torture them with power drills and toss the bodies in the Tigris River are freedom fighters?
And you wonder why people think the radical left is a bunch of kooks? - rentmitchum, on 04/08/2008, -1/+5He even creeps me out on Family Guy.. lol
- cygnus2112, on 04/08/2008, -3/+7Oppression. Torture. Beheadings. Shahid. Suicide bombings. Civilian massacre. Atrocities. Unfair justice. Terror. Blackmail. Extortion. Rape. Murder. Indoctrination into fundamentalism.
Just to name a few. - inf0, on 04/08/2008, -13/+17bunch of *****!!!!!!!!!!!
- thebaron2, on 04/08/2008, -1/+5No matter what the conflict or where it is, you're going to get ***** up people in every walk of life, including the military. The difference is that we police our own and hold them accountable, as opposed to cheering them on and promising them eternal rewards for torturing and killing civilians.
It's a bit disingenuous, to say the least, to equate the entire US military with bonafide terrorists because 1 group of ***** did something unconscionable. - masterm1nd, on 04/08/2008, -1/+5I should have added 'purposely' for the people who are morally ambiguous.
- spyd3rweb, on 04/08/2008, -12/+16Someone do us all a favor and unplug the feed from all of Turner's crappy networks.
- jcr4nf, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3After that watch episode 184 of Star Trek: The Next Generation for tips on solving world hunger
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3No, he's a socialist (now that he's earned enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life).
Seriously, you need to stop calling anyone left of center a liberal. Many of them are socialists and should be identified as such. - thebaron2, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3The majority of Iraq's oil has actually been bought by, and shipped to, China for refinery. Not the US. North America + South America imports of Iraqi oil combined are still about 1% lower than what goes to Asia.
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -2/+5Ted Turner has the New World Order propaganda spewing from his lips all the time.
United States Government are terrorists, war criminals, and horrific liars.
9-11 was an inside job! What happened to building 7?
Depleted uranium is a weapon of mass destruction!
Play Wall Street like a PONZI SCHEME! - p51d007, on 04/08/2008, -2/+5Dugg down as a dimwit Ted is. See what happens when you marry another left wing ding bat like
Hanoi Jane? - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/08/2008, -1/+4I'm on the fence about global warming (it's happening, but I'm not sold that it's humans fault) and I think creationism is a crock of *****. And I think Ted Turner is bonkers.
How is detonating a woman with downs syndrome in a marketplace "patriotic"? That right there invalidates his loony claim. - VitriolAndAngst, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3The Scientists who are researching climate change, do see a trend towards warming. But this crap is very complex.
The poles are melting -- that is known. Night time temperatures are elevated. Perhaps things may be cooling due to more smog from China and India.
It doesn't mean we don't have huge die-offs of marine life off our coasts. It doesn't mean that we should ignore the acidification of the oceans or the increase in CO2. NONE OF THE PROBLEMS CHANGE if the total temperature goes up or down -- you realize that don't you? You can skip the bullet on cancer and still die of a heart attack.
The deserts are growing around the equator. The places where you can ski in America and even Sweden are getting fewer. Things are changing and quick. Even if you get a dip in temperature, it doesn't necessarily change the trend. I don't know if it was cooler this last year -- there is so much purposeful disinformation now getting manufactured that as soon as debunk one, another "wack-a-mole" go back to sleep theory comes up.
What was it last month? The 40 year cycle? Its the sun that is warm, dummy? It will be good for crops?
I'm reading reports on digg, every damn day about this eco-system or that in trouble. It is the CHANGE that will kill you -- not the AVERAGE. If nights get warmer and the poles melt, even if things are somewhat cooler -- it means that your food crops die and the ocean currents shift. If the Gulf Current stops flowing - -then Europe goes into an ice age, while the US could get a desert.
Hey, roll the damn dice -- just so long as we don't interfere with the status quo that makes Billions for the 1% that keep pushing that there isn't Global Warming and Tobacco doesn't cause cancer. - alittleroy101, on 04/08/2008, -9/+12I think this guy sounds pretty decent, actually. Since everyone claims he is bonkers, what am I missing?
- cygnus2112, on 04/08/2008, -4/+7I see you live in the world of make believe. Tell Tinkerbell I said hello!
- jcr4nf, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3Yeah $3.30 a gallon is proof of this war for oil. This war may very well have been about influence and money, but I have yet to see my gas prices go down. It's about time you guys stop pulling that card.
- masterm1nd, on 04/08/2008, -1/+4Ok, when they practically use their countrymen as missiles, I think it's a safe call.
- Swivelstick, on 04/08/2008, -7/+10No they just torture, lock people up without warrant. Blow the ***** out of infrastructure so people don't have drinking water or medical treatment. Force 100,000's of thousands if not millions to flee their homes.
- EEdesigner, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3"Turner, Gates, and Buffet. For a change some of our society's richest members are giving me the most hope."
Please step away from any machinery and walk slowly to the dimbulb door. - dcshiderly, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3Your example fails because that's not what happened. It's more like, a criminal was holding you and your family hostage, and a bunch of guys with more power showed up to kick him out. Then you and your family were asked who you would like to be in that place of leadership. You all sat down, thought about it, and used a majority vote to pick someone. The quarter of your family that didn't pick the person who won stormed off in a huff, grabbed some guns, and started attacking the guys that got your family out from under the criminal in the first place, and if you or the rest of the family got shot to hell, well, that's just too bad.
- Scruffydan, on 04/08/2008, -2/+4global warming = MORE CROP YIELDS
Maybe up north, but in sub-saharan africa all climate change will do in increase desertification, which in turn will lower crop yields. - Jimbob200, on 04/08/2008, -3/+5The ambiguity of your comment is perfectly suited to the original comment. I enjoy that.
- VoodooPunk, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3I wonder if global warming alarmists realize how truly stupid they sound. Ted says we'll be 8 degrees hotter in 40 years and people will be eating each other? What an absolute idiot. The funny thing is people actually buy into the crap that this man is pulling out of his ass.
- eviltandem, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3If this is giving you hope, you are unbelievably naive...
- eviltandem, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3It's amazing how you can take a mind-bogglingly complex situation and boil it down to 1 horribly wrong sentence.
The whole problem with the middle-east is that everyone is right AND wrong. They all are (rightfully) pissed about something that the other side did to them. So they do something equally unforgivable back. This causes team A to then do more wrong things back, rinse repeat.
Trying to take a whole culture and millions of people and boil them down to 1 arrogant sentence is just insulting. - masterm1nd, on 04/08/2008, -6/+8Me too. I hope you forgot the sarcasm tag
- rpetty, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2complete and total whack job. Now confirmed.
- yodaj007, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2You're a walking talking propaganda spouting maching.
- eviltandem, on 04/08/2008, -3/+5Really? Ask the British about how honorably we fought in the revolutionary war.
When it's your home and family put in harms way it tends to color the situation for you. When it's your child killed with a bomb, ied, or accidentally caught in cross-fire you don't really care about the distinction of who is right and wrong. You hate everybody that brought about the situation leading to your child's death.
We know we've killed thousands of civilians by accident. Just because we didn't mean to doesn't make them any less dead, or their families hatred any less warranted. They were alive, we showed up, now they are dead and their country is in shambles.
I'm not saying we are wrong and Sadam was right. I am saying that you have to occasionally view this from the other persons perspective to understand where they are coming from.
It's not all black and white. The world is almost completely gray. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2Thanks for the ridiculous BS Ted, but all this rhetoric is rather dated and mostly discredited.
For those that now say the MSM is now working against their favorite agenda, it is clear the MSM has given free lip service to the carbon scare for 15 years now. Without this gigantic propaganda campaign the agenda would have withered on the populist vine long ago. What few of you that really do care for the environment realize, is the fact the carbon agenda is designed to benefit a few insiders and will do next to nothing to help the environment, in fact it takes the spot light off of the real pressing issues of the day.
THE TRUTH: global warming is part of a real NATURAL cycle and NOT reversible by any conceivable human plan. We will adapt or perish, this agenda does little if anything to reconcile this fact and is the primary reason it must be defeated. - jcr4nf, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3Why? No really, why? Do you just espouse every bit of liberal propaganda that you come into contact with? Why weren't the Iraqi elections legitimate? They were able to choose who their leaders would be for the first time in a very long time. I'm no conservative, but people like you who shoot sound bites out of their asses are the reason no one takes the left seriously. One thing I learned is that if you go for the throat, pure emotion, without backing it up with any facts, the only people who are going to buy your BS are the sheep.
- inactive, on 05/03/2008, -0/+2Obviously, Ted has never tried to grow vegetables in the snow.
- rentmitchum, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2ZOMBOCALYPSE!
- cygnus2112, on 04/08/2008, -9/+11My freedom fighters didn't behead others or intentionally blow up civilian markets while screaming out in the name of God, nor did they routinely torture and brutalize the population into compliance. But hey, why split hairs?
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3i think he was supposed to creep you out on family guy
- gummih, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2@Infowarmachine
Way to be simplistic - TheFinaleofSeem, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2I guess you missed the part about car bombs being thrown at a few US soldiers surrounded by several times as many kids.
