Dixie Chicked in the heartland (New York Times/Salon DOUBLE Schadenfreude Alert! MUST READ!)

Salon ^ | May 22, 2003 | Chris Hedges

[Timesink]

Another prime example of the impartial, fair and balanced objectivity of the reporting staff of The New York Times!

[Timesink]

EXTRA SPECIAL New York Times mega-biased reporter alert!

Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

[Nitro]

"The Chicks" are scheduled at Madison Square Garden...

for June 20/21.

Are they coming or going?

[ditto h]

This person likes to use the words comradship, and collective. You know, it sounds sort of communist to me.

[nana4bush]

Three cheers for whoever unplugged his microphone, TWICE! Reading this "in my own country is just heartbreaking."

[Nitro]

Disregard my previous...

I'll be working at Shea Stadium those days...

and baseball is better than no balls.

[Gkubly]

Hedges, author of "War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning," said he was disturbed by the hostile reaction. "Watching it in my own country is heartbreaking."

Now he knows how a majority of American's must have felt watching the war protestors equating President Bush to Hitler and suggesting solders turn against their commanders.

These poor, pathetic people have such a hard time understanding what freedom of speech is all about. I'd be willing to bet that not one of them has ever bothered to read either the Constitution or the Federalists Papers. Such ignorance is stunning.

Yea. If he had it his way he and his ilk would be stopping you on the street and saying "show me your papers".

Note that nobody hurt this guy. But he acts as if they did because they might have. Nobody did anything but refused to agree with him. People recognize BS and lies when they hear them. But what would anyone expect to hear from a leftist who works for a rag like the New York Times? Who has people that work for it that just fabricate things.

Speaking of people working for the Times that fabicate things has Jayson Blair sarted yelling racist yet? Or have we learned that he is a queer yet? One or both hould be offered pretty quickly....

We have had thirty years of leftists and socialists shouting down conservative speakers. The shoe is on the other foot, the worm has turned and they (the socialists) don't like it.
They taught us well about civil disobedience.

[Snuffington]

Following our defeat in Vietnam we became a better nation.

This is the first time I have heard a liberal come out and say this so bluntly, though it has definitely been the subtext to a whole lot of liberal rhetoric for ages.

No wonder they fight against their own country, even in time of war. They believe our defeats make us better.

[edwin hubble]

Leftists honor and applaud the honest rage and righteous indignation acted out in "legitimate folk theater" of their own. The less 'civil' the better for those folks.

But they cannot tolerate the same on the part of centrists in middle America. And they are clueless about the depth of rage that lies there.

[FreedomCalls]

The Rockford Register Star has audio and VIDEO (!) of the event.

Following our defeat in Vietnam we became a better nation.

This would have about tore it for me. The unmitigated gall... the total ignoration (yeah, I know) of the deaths of millions in Vietnam and Cambodia. Just goes to show that these yellow-bellied bastards don't value any human life except their own. And the elitism... that the love between brothers-in-arms isn't real but is just part of the intoxication of war... that we have no knowledge of Iraqi culture... that the Iraqis are incapable of being governed by and for the people.

Unbelievable that he would try to emit that noxious, seditious bile at Rockford College. Rockford Rocks!

Oh, I'll bet he doesn't know it one bit ... and never will.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

"NYT Reporter" + "Anti-War Activist"? And The NYT has no problem with this? I guess I'm just not "tolerant" enough.

I just had dinner with a friend and we discussed the backlash against anti-Americans. We both agreed that Americans are fed up with being told that their country (and by association, them) are pieces of s--t, and they're just not going to take it sitting down anymore.
