Whoops.

I wonder when you people are going to stop griping about actors and start griping about your compatriots who won't enlist, won't publically encourage their comrades to enlist, and don't lift a single finger to get supplies and personnel into the fight. Yellow Republicans are parodies of the chicken hawks. It's time to step up.

Looks like you and the Post are the latest to fall for it. Good to know the right wing checks their facts so much better than the left does. At least it's not as bad as that whole WMD thing.

Wow, now imagine a prominent POLITICIAN like Cheney doing it.

Tough, isn't it?

WHAT?

The NY Post isn't a credible new source???

But they tell me what I want to hear! Like how great america is and how we kick ASS!

USA! USA! USA!

So....Denzel DID make the donation...just not "on the spot"....wow, got 'im there...well good for Denzel for going against the typical Hollywood anti-military, anti-war anti-everything line.

Good for JRI for bringing a bunch of red herrings with him/her.

The NY Post isn't a credible new source???

But they tell me what I want to hear! Like how great america is and how we kick ASS!

USA! USA! USA!

Predictable shallow idiocy from one more resident buffoon. Yes, Nothing is good unless it trashes fascist AmeriKKKa right dickbreath? Too sophisticated to appreciate anything unless it comes from France right 'tard?

Id-i-ot! Id-i-ot! Id-i-ot!

Gee tubino...how about a prominent politician like Teddy Kennedy doing it? Your Republican hatred is kinda irrelevant in this thread isn't it?

So you're going to pervert Denzel Washington's empathy for the troops and their families into his implied endorsement of american foreign policy. Pervert the fundamentally human into the political. That is pure nihilism. For shame. Furthermore, I suspect Denzel Washington has love for Americans, and perhaps love for America the ideal, the America that has yet to exist, to paraphrase Langston Hughes, but as to America the reality? Given his work in Malcolm X and so forth, I doubt the man sings Lee Greenwood.

We don't hate America. We do hate what your trying to make it in to and funny part is you don't even know what that is, yet.

Where do these people come from? Does DKos get young rebulicans groupmembers trolling their blog?

I swear to god, they are like carpenter ants.

Where is the government that put them in the hospital in the first place, shouldn't they pay....even if it was true news story.

Been reading Dkos...Um Yeah's out the ass they got over there...It's like Lord of the Flies.

But they seem to have no trolls. Certainly not as many as just about any comments-enabled conservative blog has.

Um Yeah's out the ass they got over there

? Hows the crack treating you?

Wait, what about Mary Carey or whatever her name is? You know, the porn star republican? She's a public supporter of the admin and a celebrity, why didn't you mention her?

I look forward to your post lauding Al Franken as an American Hero. He's gone over and entertained our troops all over, including in Iraq.

Here he is talking with CNN about it:

CROWLEY: That must have been quite a trip. It was a feel-good trip for you?

FRANKEN: It was my fourth USO tour. This is the first one in a really active theater of battle. I've been to Kosovo three times. But this was -- we went to Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan -- and it was great. And I always love doing it.

The troops really appreciate it, and I sort of set aside all political kind of stuff and do like a Bob Hope type of show.

CROWLEY: I was going to ask you that because unlike some comedians you are so well-known for your political views as well. Do you find that interferes at all, or are they just glad to have you there?

FRANKEN: They are glad to have me there. And also, I just -- my opening joke usually was, "Anybody here from out of town?" And then, you know, "This Army grub, it doesn't agree with me. I've had three MREs -- those are meals ready to eat -- and none of them seem to have an exit strategy."

So it's a different kind of humor I do, but every, you know, I had a number of soldiers come up to me and say, "I don't agree with you politically, but I so appreciate you coming." And they really do.

------------------ The sooner you Fighting Keyboardists learn the SIMPLE SIMPLE FACT that one can support the troops just fine without supporting the POLICY that puts those troops in danger, the better off our discourse will be.

Hey Scooby Dooby Doo!

At Pardon My English they welcome all Republican supporters.

They love Mary Carey. Have a look.

MJ - I'd equate them to mosquitoes. Swat one and there are 10 more that take its place. Blood sucking nuisances.

panopticon....WTF you been smoking. What you just accused someone of has not happened...so don't pervert what this article is about into what you want it to be. To quote your incorrect thoughts...for shame.

...why didn't you mention her?

Well Scooby....for ONE, this is about a HOLLYWOOD actor...not a FRESNO actor. For TWO, this is about a HOLLYWOOD actor doing something in support of wounded troops and their families (not supporting the administration)....not a FRESNO actor supporting the administration.

bp....this isn't about Franken or his line of work. He's not HOLLYWOOD.....but the article included Denzel "...AND OTHERS." If it'll appease your small mindedness....I applaud Franken for his USO tours, having seen him during one of them. I slam him for being a lying sack of shit...er..."satirist"...while not on USO tours. A good does not erase the bad.

Yeah yeah...one can support the troops and not support Bush. That's what protestors in Boston say when theyr'e standing in solidarity with those that exclaim "Victory to the Iraqi Resistance" and "We support troops that kill their officers" and "God Bless IEDs"

Some incorrectly think that trashing the current administration IS supporting the troops. To those I say: What have you ever DONE to support the troops? It's really not difficult to actually DO something.,...and I've done all of these: Financial donations to Emergency Relief funds of the individual branches (helps families of KIAs and WIAs)? Volunteering at veterans shelters (well, supporting ex-troops, but nonetheless)? The local military hospital? Organizing fund-raisers to support the local National Guard units that have lacked funding since their inception? Shipping phone cards and other necessities overseas? Writing letters to servicemen? E-mails to them? Or are you just speaking out against an administration and claiming to support the troops, while standing with those that would rather have terrorists kill our troops....or our troops to kill their superiors?

If I had the bank-roll of Denzel, I'd do something similar that is just as totally selfless and financially huge.

"Yeah yeah...one can support the troops and not support Bush. That's what protestors in Boston say when theyr'e standing in solidarity with those that exclaim "Victory to the Iraqi Resistance" and "We support troops that kill their officers" and "God Bless IEDs"

It's your B&W little box mentality that gives you this perception. What you fail to see is that millions of Democrats were not holding those signs.

I could compare you to Radical Redneck (you don't have split personalities do you) but I don't. I do the B&W thing because you have obsessions too. Like the SOX for example, yet these last few days you have been pissy even when they were playing well. Then of course there's your military obsession. Everything the military does isn't OK. There are times when war is unavoidable and they are few. Afganistan: Yes. Iraq: No.

PS. I could call you Steve.

Millions of Democrats are not out PROTESTING IN BOSTON ( I don't speak of other protests that I do not go to), which is what I was talking about, and getting on the front page of the local papers. False analogies will get you nowhere. I neither stand in solidarity with RRs comments, nor do I defend them. Whereas, those PROTESTING IN BOSTON stand in solidarity with and, when questioned about it, defend the actions AND words of those among them that are anti-US troops, not just anti-war or anti-Bush.

Talk about a line of horseshit:

Like the SOX for example, yet these last few days you have been pissy even when they were playing well

Regardless of what you think, my "pissyness" does not change in accordance with how the Sox are doing. THAT's a figment of your imagination which has zero causality. Never has and never will. Only dinks like you need to allow your feelings run your life.

Military obsession? Yeah, whatever. I'm really sorry that it buts your nuts that I served, am vocally proud of it, AND continue to support the military with real actions instead of the empty words some use to disuade their real anti-military feelings.

Everything the military does isn't OK............and who has said that it is? Yet another figment? Yet another herring?

P.S. I could call you many things and it'll be just as irrelevant as your comments. You can call me whatever you want...it'll be wrong, but fire away. What you "call me" is generally contrary to the truth....so bring it on.

Yeah, ya missed it. I can support the troops without supporting Bush. Millions of democrats do. My point was that we are not out there protesting and hating the troops for something they were commanded to do. Some do, yes, but not all, by a long shot. It's like you are saying only republicans join the military.

The funny thing is, Russ, you think the troops care about the difference.

"It's not your fault you're a nazi, you're a good man! Rumsfeld made you decapitate all those children, he's the one to blaim for all the horrible attrocities you've commited!"

Yah, they like it when you say that.

What would you know about what troops think?

Put up or shut up! Really MJ, What do you know about a troop?

No Russ...I didn't "miss it" at all. You clearly missed that millions of protestors ARE out there saying anti-military sentiments...disguised as anti-war or anti-Bush sentiments. Nobody but YOU has used the word "all"...and I've neither said nor insinuated that only Republicans join the military...because I've been there and know better and choose to not use blanket statements like you do.

...and, as usual, you missed the point. When supporting the troops, semikind words are the meaningless hiding place for those that have anti-military sentiments. It's what you DO that's important.

No marriage, No children, No military expericence, OK I give, you do have a lot of STUPID for what that will get you, and you will argue with anyone who will take the time. My time at the desk has ended for the day so go along now and play with your opinion. Take it for a walk. Talk to it. Have a good time.

Tomorrow maybe?

...and, as usual, you missed the point. When supporting the troops, semikind words are the meaningless hiding place for those that have anti-military sentiments. It's what you DO that's important.

I can't speak out against the president? I thought you were a staunch supporte of 1A? No, I was a troop and I do support the troops. Your semi-kindness you can apply to your racism.

Support your Millions Troop-hater comment. Millions in the world don't like Bush. Taht can be supported, even if the numbers are off by 10%.

hey russ, WHERE were you a "troop"?

Lisa what the hell is with you and quote marks.

I don't have them with me today, but tomorrow I will bring crackers and biscuits (or would that be biscuit?) for Lisa and MJ.

I was a troop stateside and quite a few locations overseas. I was a troop long enough to know MJ wasn't. Any more than that, you don't have the need to know, even if you have a "top secret" clearance. If I post this Sarge will start his POI crap again, no it was MOI, or was it MOS? Suffice to say everybody's got em. Little Bill will take that as an inference to STDs or would that be STD?

$10 says he was Department of State.

Some dipshit consular officer who got to debrief a couple rangers in Brazil once and now he thinks he's James Bond.

Sarge:

Russ has std's? I know,that at the least he was a REMF, every Soldier knows his MOS, Marines and lesser Services.

Did I ever tell you the story of two guys in a Conex Box?

Bill

What you talk MJ doesn't even qualify as trash. You are just a walking opinion, and a very uninformed one at that.

Keep talking BS mj and while you are there tell us about your experience, forget knowledge because you haven't retained anything.

Say something that would give us some indication that you are capable of an intellegent thought.

Say something coherant besides ad hominems.

I love how he claims no one has a 'need to know' anything about his own personal experience, yet uses experience as a grounds to discredit everyone else.

See, I'm not a women, so I have no right to an opinion about abortion (he does, however, for some odd reason I don't understand because I'm not as smurt as he is).

Allright Russ, you really want to know? I am General Norman H. Schwarzkopf.

So whatever I say about war, goes, got it? Because I'm infinetly more experienced then you, therefor I cannot be wrong.

Jackass.

What ever you say little boy!

Not to discredit. You are always saying; "does anyone understand Russ?" yet you make constant ignorant statements regarding issues you either have little or no experience in or you are just one click away from Google.

I just asked you to address the loose nuclear devices in the post Soviet Union. I never said nuclear weapons. W and crew are always using the dirty bomb scare and the Russians have plenty ingredients laying around to make one.

I change what I said about you. You are not an opinion, you're a wannabe. Whe you garner enough information to be an opinion get back to us.

Little Bill you are confused. You say you made enough money off the way the neo-cons do business that you have a summer home in Vermont.

Building a house on the state line doesn't qualify as having two homes. When you go to your winter home to relieve yourself, try to change your thought process when you go to summer home to post to the blog. Stop eating the prunes Billy.

Billy it's my guess that between your winter and summer hoimes you have your own custom made foxhole. Is that where you go to do your writing and start feeling the urge to call out; "Hey Sarge?" You are own your own now Billy Sarge isn't here to help you. Grow up!

Billy, I give you credit for having enough left to remember the Nam acronyms. You don't have enough left (probably to much Boom Boom) to comprehend that Sarge wasn't a Nam grunt. Keep tryin don't ever give up.

Bill, I think you pissed him off.

Do it again, please.

It would take more than the likes of you two experts to piss me off.

Rusty, what's it like to have to wear a bike helmet 24/7. Now go finish your delicious feces.

I can't speak out against the president? I thought you were a staunch supporte of 1A?

Good ole UY...er...Russ...putting words in my mouth that have never been there. Dumbass. Do you actually read AND comprehend what you read, or do you just write about what you THINK others have said?

No, I was a troop and I do support the troops.

Never said you didn't, Master of Senility.

Your semi-kindness you can apply to your racism.

Yeah yeah obsession #1...got proof? Oh yeah...you just "know".....nothing.

Man...so now you gotta be a 'Nam grunt to have an opinion? Small world you live in.....and I've never claimed to be a 'Nam grunt...but I know every damned acronym having to do with the infantry that there is. As a matter of fact, what the fuck are YOU talking about? You weren't a "grunt" ANYWHERE.

...and just for your ignorant "know it all" ass....LB doesn't have to know ANYTHING about 'Nam or even the military to know that I am not a 'Nam vet....we've met on numerous occasions, so he knows my age....how's it feel to consistantly be wrong?

I know that you and Billy are on busom buddy swap spit terms. It's just that he's so insecure he always seems to need a back up from you. He does the belch stagger stumble and then yells, hey Sarge.

All you macho guys,,,YEAH!! I'm not the most computer literate one around, so would someone tell me where the "I'm gonna' kick you ass keys" are located.

Before you soil your boxers, the swapin' spit comment was refering to the two of you frothin' at the mouth and drinkin' beer. Somewhere in all that you probably swap spit.

Sox seem to be doing pretty good, must be the new shipment of steroids.

Yeah...you sure got us pegged alright..sounds more like you and UY though.

Sox don't need steroids....just another lame and incorrect ad hominem to add to the heap of illogical assumptions.

So the Doc has their lockers stocked...

It's called "talent"....and I believe the Sox have paid them handsomely for it. Got a specific palyer you want to make a specific claim about? Or are you full of bullshit baseless accusations as always?

Yes it's just BS, lighten up!

It's too bad it's a hoax. He did visit... but he didn't make out a check or make those comments about other actors.
