What is Digg?254 Comments
- dlbfromLA, on 07/22/2008, -48/+89Well we all know that about 90% of all media is controlled by far left tree hugging liberals, so that does not surprise me one bit about Rolling Stoned! BUT, I think that it is a travesty to make fun of his imprisonment in a POW Camp in Vietnam! Although they have the right enemies of the USA pictured on the outside of the cage!!!!
- atmenterprises, on 07/22/2008, -47/+82Typical from the leftist media. Of course, you could look at it like this: the media doesn't care even the slightest about what Rolling Stone thinks, which is a knock on the credibility of that magazine.
- SuperVepr308, on 07/22/2008, -28/+63That is really low.
- BillE3, on 07/22/2008, -38/+63They support the troops, but hate the vets. Obama was neither.
- gquaglia, on 07/22/2008, -25/+48I have no problems with political cartoons and satire. But I do have a problem with the hypocrisy of the left who cries foul and racism with the Obama New Yorker cover while remains quiet and probably supports this cover. You step into the public arena and you are fair game as far as I'm concerned. No special treatment or kid gloves for anyone, no matter their race, beliefs or whatever.
- fulibs, on 07/22/2008, -56/+79Don't they (liberals) ever get tired of being wrong?
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -44/+67Vietnam Vets are all crazy, don't ya know? At least according to Obama's Bigots and the whole left wing anti-war crowd.
- Cheezo, on 07/22/2008, -32/+53boycott all advertisers in the rolling stone...
insulting beyond belief - emil1212, on 07/22/2008, -16/+36Reading all these comments that are dugg up, I feeel like I'm in a bizzaro digg.
- faultlineusa, on 07/22/2008, -41/+61Outrage is right!!! The MSM is no longer left. It's Marxist!!!
- flip2trip, on 07/22/2008, -26/+45Well that's it, I'm cancelling my Rolling Stone subscription....oh wait, that's right I don't have one, never read the rag and now I never have to bother.
- 7thchild, on 07/22/2008, -30/+48I have never cared much for the mag but now I have nothing but disgust for them. As an old vet myself I still remember this type of garbage coming from the weirdos in the 60s.
- DerangedPenguin, on 07/22/2008, -32/+49I used to be outraged by the left now I am just amused. Like a parasite they live because of the freedoms of this country, and like parasites they are attempting to kill the host. But conservatives can rejoice, because if the media is free to slam and hate the government you know you live in a free society. Start to panic when they begin to lock up Rush Limbaugh like they tried to do down in Florida, or send in government union goons to intimidate residents like they did in the Detroit Michigan region or pass laws that industry unionization votes are no longer confidential. I am not anti-union they have a place in society, they gave us the 40 hour work week, whatever that is, they helped insure safer working conditions. I am against a government-union alliance that keeps crooked politicians and union bosses in power.
- TYRONEBR549, on 07/22/2008, -9/+26Your really onto something here. The Parisite party. Yea, that's it. I like it. It hits the nail on the head.
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -0/+16@CryBaby
I'm asking you again. How much have you sacrificed to work towards ending this war? - inactive, on 07/22/2008, -2/+17You lucky bastard!!
- covertress, on 07/22/2008, -35/+50When do liberals perceive politically incorrect as correct? When it is an equal opportunity offender.
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -10/+22I got $120,000 for this comment.
***** dummy. - inactive, on 07/22/2008, -33/+45Rolling Stoned has been on my crap list for years. The majority of artists, politicos, actors, etc. that they feature in their magazine are morally and spiritually bankrupt as well as traitors to this country. The publishers, editors, and contributing writers are America haters of the worst sort and they print an astonishing amount of lies, distortions and flat out made up material that is presented as factual. With a few modifications the Sedition Act would be a good thing for these creeps. As far as boycotting advertisers, have you seen some of the disgusting companies they give ad space to?
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -0/+12George W. Bush is anything but a dhimmi.
- tkstock, on 07/22/2008, -12/+24Yeah, when people Digg Obama articles, it's voluntary. When McCain articles get Dugg, it must be because they're being paid. LOL
Polish, you only got $120,000 for your comment? I got twice that, but I had to write more. - inactive, on 07/22/2008, -22/+33That cartoon is, IMO, WAY more offensive than the Obama cartoon. The man was held for years, and tortured. Let's make a joke out of it? ***** disgusting.
- thoughtcrime, on 07/22/2008, -8/+19I don't think they care one wit about equality of opportunity. Ironically, the term "equality" is only applicable when applied to unequal opinions - ones which non-coincidentally, coincide with their own.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -5/+16"...Why is McCain's service record (be) considered such a sacred cow anyway? .."
Because John McCain placed his life where he believed his convictions and duty lie. Something Obama and Williams Jefferson Clinton clearly would have never done. They have no sense of duty. They only have a sense of self, and they probably are both deserving of conviction of the incarceration kind. - Lane, on 07/22/2008, -12/+23no one reads rolling stone, mystery solved!
- Hetman, on 07/22/2008, -19/+29This is way worst than the Obama cover ran by the New Yorker. How can anyone believe this would be appropriate to run. Regardless of who you are voting for, one must have some respect for a man who served in Vietnam and was tortured repeadidly. You have the right to print what you like. But If they printed a picture mocking american soldiers being tortured in Iraq, there would be an out cry from the family members of those servicemen. And everyone would be all up in arms about how horrible and disrespectfull it is.
- radiofrequency, on 07/22/2008, -31/+41It's not a big deal. McCain has gone through so much and achieved so much that making a satire of it actually makes him look better. The Senator served with distinction in the military and when he came back from Vietnam after going through what must have been a brutal ordeal (6 YEARS!) he didn't turn on America. Remember Kerry testifying before Congress against America after only serving in Vietnam fro a couple of months?
Satire about Obama doesn't work because he is the most unqualified candidate for POTUS in my lifetime and there are plenty of strong allegations about his anti-Americanism and muslim background.
The only people who should be offended by that cartoon are Vietnamese. - HanFastolfe, on 07/22/2008, -3/+13"If you have looked at the past seven years, more suppression of freedom of speech has occurred than ever before."
If your historical context begins seven years ago you're absolutely right. For the rest of us history is a bit longer, and complex, it contains things like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Ac ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition_Act_of_1918
Those last two acts together, make George W. Bush look like an ACLU lawyer when compared to that great "progressive" president, Woodrow Wilson. - TYRONEBR549, on 07/22/2008, -1/+10According to the media he is the only one running.
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -4/+13But it's a knock against a Republican so you won't see much of it in the mainstream media unless Fox News makes a big enough fuss about it to pretty much force them.
- reed311, on 07/22/2008, -21/+29I had to bury because of the "leftist" MSM. It is laughable to suggest that the media is controlled by multi-billionaire tree-hugging, pot smoking, liberals. This is an offensive image, but not more offensive than Obama's. This makes fun of McCains time in prison, but the other one equates Obama as being a mass-murdering terrorist. (Even though it was satire, a lot of people aren't sharp enough to pick up on that).
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -3/+11You haven't even read the Sedition Act have you? Although poorly written and enforced it was designed to keep people from publishing outright lies about the goverment and it servents. The worst punishment ever handed out under this law was two months in jail and a four hundred dollar fine. Do your research before posting.
- footbag01, on 07/22/2008, -22/+30Come on... It's McCain, nobody cares!
- mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/22/2008, -5/+12"But this will get dugg down quickly."
Yes, because you're simpleminded douches. All my burying of douches is gratis. - MrFurious2k, on 07/22/2008, -32/+39Frankly why are we surprised by hypocrisy? If you look at the front page of digg, it's covered in leftist propaganda accusing us of far worse than unequal treatment. Frankly, if we don't get a handle on what is shaping up to be a propaganda (notice I didn't say information) war, we're going to continue to lose ground politically.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7So it's okay to be tactless as long as other people started it, got it.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6What secrets did he give away?
- slyweazel, on 07/22/2008, -13/+19When did Digg turn into conservapedia? Either way, the cartoon is very tasteless.
- swrostmore, on 07/22/2008, -16/+22That's what happens when obscure right-wing websites make a push to get a story nobody else cares about to the frontpage. The result is a horde of publicity-motivated partisans posting and modding up every suportive comment, with no balance provided from digg's user base, who are unaware of the story until it is made popular.
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -8/+14making fun of torture is hilarious?
- hwy61revisited, on 07/22/2008, -11/+17I know this was probably only intended as a jab at McCain (which still doesn't justify it), but this cartoon is disrespectful to any Vietnam vet. Make that ANY vet, period. It's also a bit racist...I'm sure the artist was drawing the Vietnamese in caricature but like everything else about this cartoon, it's tasteless.
"Just a cartoon"? Yes, I know the artist is exercising his right of free speech but this cartoon crosses the line. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -3/+9"...Please tell me who the enemies of the USA are, because judging by your rant I would guess it's Americans on the left..."
BINGO! They're called "progressives". Give the idiot a cigar before he and his ilk ban them! -
