The Nick Berg Execution - Do NOT Enter this Thread if You're Sensitive about the Subject.

misswindom May 13, 2004 10:33 AM

Rush Limbaugh, on his website, has described the video for those want to know what it truly is. He saw it, and it really disturbed him (which means it's Extremely disturbing).

I don't know if anyone wants to hear about it, and I know this has nothing to do with Leopard Geckos, but it does have to do with America. And I think that, if you truly want to know, listen to Rush.

However, if you are sensitive to graphic material, or you are underage, or you simply don't want to cry, do NOT go to this link. Rush DOES describe what happened in the video, and, while it is not as graphic as the video itself, it IS very graphic. This is not your only warning - Rush will warn you himself before he starts describing what happened.

That is the dumbest thing yet posted on this forum, I'm sorry..lolol

All hail the Wise, all knowing Rush... For Rush knows all!

? for you, did Rush say that the guys that chopped of that mans head where just "having Fun" or "Blowing off some steam" ??

or did that Double standard come into play?

misswindom May 13, 2004 04:54 PM

I said to listen to Rush if you wanted to know because he tells what happens in the video. If you want to know what happened in the video, then listen to what he has to say - he tells you.

Not everyone has the stomach to watch something so horrible and graphic. Not everyone is morbid enough to, either.

Just as not everyone thinks themselves so above everyone else on this board as to call every person's opinion "the stupidest thing" they'd ever heard. The only stupid thing that I have seen ANYwhere on this forum so far is your calling everything stupid! Grow up! If you think your own opinions so high and mighty, and everyone else's stupid, why do you stick around? Yes, I've been reading through the forum, and your posts seem to stand out - almost all of them are degrading to other people on this forum.

Would you rather I put a link to the actual video? I know where it is, and you can see it for yourself and then compare the video to Rush Limbaugh's description.

I am sorry that you think so little of Rush Limbaugh. I, however, listen to him often. What I usually hear come out of his mouth, I happen to agree with - and his side is NOT the only side I listen to. His is just the least ignorant.

However, this thread is NOT about Rush Limbaugh!!! This thread is about the video of the "Beheading" of Nick Berg. I put "beheading" in quotes because of the manner in which it was done. If you don't want to listen to Rush Limbaugh, then don't!

If you are 18 or older, and you can prove it, then you can email me for the link to the videotape, if you so desire.

Beyond that, I will not respond to posts by sobek unless they are written in a more mature and respectful manner, especially on the matter of this Horrible execution of an Innocent American Citizen.

Answer the ?

or did that Double standard come into play?

P.s. I seen the video, ty

thegeckobarn May 13, 2004 05:14 PM

being right about seeing the video is nothing to brag about.
Rush actually stated that these people are Quote "human debris"
And I do not remember the correct phrase..but he also stated that they should not receive our standards of justice for murderers...so in other words, he thinks that they should be done away with in the same manner Nick Berg was.
And yes, I agree with him.

But in order to bring these potential murderers to "Justice" our administration will continue to do what they have been doing, wrongfully arrest, detain and potentially abuse OTHER IRAQ's that didnt commit these crimes (But these days...one dead IRAQ is good as another eh?)What the heck, there are plenty of them.Wonder what the sons and daughters of the Iraq men that were humiliated and murdered will think 6 years from now? Not very positive. Think about why McCain has been so vocal about this, HE knows first hand what the cost will be, and neither RUSH, nor BUSH nor CHENEY will have to pay it. Servicemen and women will have to. And that will be wrong also.

Sincerely,

Fred Albury

Rush is a bigoted and outspoken idiot.(Personal opinion)

sobek May 13, 2004 05:44 PM

O so when "they" do something they are Human debris.

But when Our own do something like RAPE, TORTURE, AND MURDER prisoners,

they are "Just having fun", and "letting off a little Steam"?

And your going to tell me that it is not the stupidest thing to spew forth form Rush's double standard mouth?

I'd like to hear you explain that..

LETS DRAFT RUSH, I'd like to see his fatt@ss on the front lines..

Fred Albury May 13, 2004 05:50 PM

Even IRAQ children could hit THAT with their slingshots, it be so large. Or maybe with rotten fruit, methinks that would be more appropriate.

Fred Albury

sobek May 13, 2004 06:18 PM

lol he would probably not even make it to the front lines, He'd wear him self out putting on the uniform

Unless he was pumped up on pills, not like he'd do that either..lol

thegeckobarn May 13, 2004 06:04 PM

I never said it was ok for ANYONE to do it. I consider anyone who does something like that "human debris" Do NOT even DARE to try and make me look like a racist! I stated that these people who did this should be brought to justice..not innocent people!
Nowhere did I state that! You must have a good imagination.
Just because I agree with Rush on this issue, doesnt mean I agree with everything he says. Geez, this is actually the first time ive ever listened to him!!
Damn.

id like to hear you explain what the hell your talking about.
I said I think these people that did this are SCUM,...nowhere did I state that I like Rush...nowhere did I state that we should nuke IRAQ...so I dont get where your coming from making me seem like I want them all dead?

I actually think its a tragedy that these innocent people have to be put through all of this because of some STUPID HUMAN DEBRIS like the people who would cut someones head off!!

Dont dare put me in a category that I am not

But if the cost of bringing these perpetrators to "justice" is the killing and maiming of IRAQ citzens, the SAME citzens we are SUPPOSED to be there converting to DEMOCRACY for their own good, then of what good is the excercise.
To me it is just a carte blanche to continue doing what has allready been done....rounding up and interogateing and degrading and YES even killing, IRAQ people who werent responsible. Not even close to the mark. No way to win the hearts and minds of a oppressed people...unless you intend to oppress them yourself, that is.

P.S.
Rush is bigoted.

Sincerely,

Fred Albury

Nor can I find any post accusing you of this? It must be on your mind though.. Very reveling

thegeckobarn May 13, 2004 06:59 PM

that is pretty much what you are stating. Nor did I SAY you said this. You two make no sense that ive already lost what your saying.
Btw...Dusty didnt post this to hear your arrogance...she posted it to let people who wanted to see it see it. So shut up and look if you want, if not...dont.

What the American soldiers did was atrocious, yes. Even more atrocious, and absolutely horrendous is what these Iraqis did to an innocent Human Being. Have you seen our soldiers sawing off the heads of the Iraqis? I haven't. I certainly haven't heard of it. You show me where they have, and I'll correct myself.

>? for you, did Rush say that the guys that chopped of that
>mans head where just "having Fun" or "Blowing off some
>steam" ??
>
>or did that Double standard come into play?

No, he never said that the Iraqis were just having fun or blowing off steam. Neither did he say that the American soldiers doing that. The only thing that I can see that comes even close to that is the following paragraph:

See, that's what's been missing all along. The left has been trying to demonize me for my initial observation of the first photos of Abu Ghraib, "Skull and Bones, college prank, college hazing, college initiation? Limbaugh is an insensitive boob!" They had to take me out of context to do it using what I said about the early photos and then applying my observation to what has since been released, which is far more horrible: homicides, alleged rapes and so forth, and yet those pictures are not the ones I was talking about. But if you didn't know that you would assume that I was equating homicide, rape and murder with college pranks, which is the out of context that has been taken here with the left and the Skull and Bones comment. And so the headline's out there: "Limbaugh Endorses Torture," and my point all along is that perspective makes the attacks of the left on the Abu Ghraib photos and the military ineffective.

So I am not sure what the point of your asking this is. Please explain, so that I can better answer your question.

Look I'm not Trying to argue with you but,

What a Bunch of BS, Here is an Idea, before you chime in, DO YOUR HOME WORK!! Of coarse he didn't say that the Iraq's were just blowing of some steam, their brown people, and not American.

BUT HE DID JUSTIFY THE TORTURE OF IRAQ'S BY AMERICANS!

And might I add he did say that these things take place in "Skull & Bones" Like stripping men naked, and making them from human pyramids. And our president, and the guy running against him are both part of it, And bush calls him self a Christan? I thought Christan's were against such homo erotic things? Ponder that...

Transcript:
CALLER: It was like a college fraternity prank that stacked up naked men --

LIMBAUGH: Exactly. Exactly my point! This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You of heard of need to blow some steam off?

misswindom May 13, 2004 07:17 PM

Okay, go back and read that quote that put in my last post. Limbaugh DID admit that he said that - but at FIRST. He said that at the initial release of the photos - his first reaction. You're doing just as he said everyone is - taking his words out of context.

So, how about YOU do YOUR homework before making an uninformed statement, rather than falsely accusing me of doing the same?

WHAT OTHER CONTEXT could that be?

It was VERY clear what he said, and how he feels.

thegeckobarn May 13, 2004 07:39 PM

well..I watched the video, and now I can honestly say WHO CARES about anyone's opinion, thats the last thing ANY of us should be thinking about right now. Be happy to be alive.
