A Hollywood Yarn Unravels

[The Raven]

It was Christmas week in the Colombian city of Villavicencio and the events, as they were set to unfold, had all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. If only the "heroes" hadn't been exposed as liars.

A 3-year-old boy, his mother and another woman, all hostages of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), were about to be freed. Credit for their release was to go to Hugo Chávez, president of Venezuela. Former Argentine President Néstor Kirchner had flown up from Buenos Aires to take part in the show. Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone was on hand too, eager to document the Christmas spirit of the revolutionary killers and their socialist sympathizers. The child, as luck would have it, was called Emmanuel.

The part of the villain was bestowed on Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, a U.S. ally who as a matter of policy has refused to give in to FARC demands for Colombian territory in exchange for the release of hostages. .....

The left is back to communisim/terrorism again. When will they give up?

[aroundabout]

In the case of Chavez, when the oil runs out or he is dead. It’s not about Communism, hell even Communism isn’t about communism, it’s all about power

[Thrownatbirth]

When the news of the child's whereabouts broke Mr. Stone went away spitting mad



"No baby? Whatdaya mean, no f***ing baby!!!????"

Democrat closet Socialists are coming out!

Will they still call themselves Democrats?

About time for another Pinko Purge.

The outrage doesn't stop there. U.S. Democratic Congressmen James McGovern, Bill Delahunt and Gregory Meeks of the United States have stated their wish to meet and negotiate with FARC representatives in Venezuela. Apparently, they insist on "concrete results" whatever that means. If these representatives from the United States meet with FARC, only FARC will benefit, as it will give credibility and legitimacy to a terrorist organization that deserves neither. Although they have no authority under U.S. law to engage in any discourse with FARC, as a matter of fact, without approval from the U.S. Department of State, it may well be illegal, the benefit to FARC will be a major propaganda coup.

What motive do the Congressmen have in meeting with FARC? One would suspect nothing more than photo ops, and good press for themselves, but at the cost of the Colombian people. If you really want to stop illegal immigration, call these creeps and tell them to support free trade agreements.

More buffoonery from the lead buffoon.. Oliver”conspiracy” Stone.

[sauropod]

Oliver Stone disgusts me.

[popdonnelly]

The left is a collection of jerks. They all want recognition for how “brilliant” they are. They should be told that they’re stupid.

What motive do the Congressmen have in meeting with FARC?

Maybe they are looking for some fresh, pure blow? On a serious note, though, FARC is about a brutal as they come and these congress critters are in over their heads.

"When the news of the child's whereabouts broke Mr. Stone went away spitting mad, not at his FARC heroes, who had been exposed as child abusers, but at Mr. Uribe and Mr. Bush. Of the FARC he said, "Grabbing hostages is the fashion in which they can finance themselves and try to achieve their goals, which are difficult. I think they are heroic to fight for what they believe in and die for it, as was Castro in the hills of Cuba."

Heroic according to Stone. No comments necessary.
