Protest Warriors up next on Unfiltered, 'AirAmerica'
This should be interesting.

I don't think it's going to go smoothly. But I could be wrong...

2. Never heard of them before.
But just listening to them now, I am disgusted.
I know there are hate-mongering, ignorant fools out there, but to hear them in person just turns my stomach.

3. It's almost physically painful how stupid these guys are.
They need to take a Logic 101 course.

7. LOL this is so funny
These fools are getting their ass handed to them. They're stumbling and bumbling, and their lack of clear, logical, reasonable thinking skills is becoming incredibly obvious.

13. Yup.
Dumb-ass mofos. Just like I suspected. They are SO lucky Chuck wasn't there. They would have the room in a metaphorical bucket.

8. But they don't seem "stupid"...
They seem to have ideological bias that impairs rationality.

4. The Name Protest Warriors Pisses Me Off
Edited on Fri Aug-27-04 08:45 AM by bryant69
this whole rant doesn't make a lot of sense now that I remember who the Protest Warriors are; right wing yahoos who are jerkwads. Oh well.

Protesting is serious business. Our goal isn't to gratify our own egos and makes us feel good becuase we are tough. To many protestors show up at protests because they want to find themselves or because they just like acting out and this is an approved way of doing it. You can see after talking to them that their politics are mainly an excuse to put themselves at the center of some personal mythology.

I think the name "Protest Warriors" feeds right into this, the illusion that Protestors are somehow special heroic people. You don't protest to be heroic. You protest because we are living in insane times. These aren't nickle poker times we are living in, where you can afford to gratify your own eagos. These are $1,000,000 a hand times.

But to make my self clear, I don't think most protesters fit into this stereo type--the majority know the stakes and perform admirably and even heroically because they aren't focused on gratifying some sort of psychological need but on the real goal; making America a better stronger country to live in.

5. Too bad Chuck D isn't there.
He knows how to hold his own in a debate and doesn't suffer fools lightly. These guys being fools, Chuck would smack them down hard.

16. Thanks!
Yes it is good, and Julian Bond does a fine job narrating. Very devastating expose of the neocon agenda.

The Warriors are just typical lil' fearmongers. They would have made more sense in the 1980's when there was still a thing called the 'USSR'.

They probably don't even know that the neocon movement had its genesis with discontented Jewish liberals who considred themselves Trotskyists.

Standard issue; no sense of history; manipulative nutjobs.

18. I think HC is BETTER than F911
at being an indictment of the Bushies. F911 feels like conspiracy theory stuff. Luckily the Neocons were operating in plain sight, so you only need to connect the dots, not guess at their intentions.

19. It's definitely more analytical.
If you have friends/relatives that will not go see F911 because Michael Moore is a 'propagandist', then this is a clear, rational alternative.

I loved F911 for different reasons.

I felt that HC is good follow-up to 'Uncovered', more detail, more damning. But I haven't seen the movie-theater version of Uncovered yet.

14. You didn't miss much.
Just standard, run-of-the-mill ignorance being spewed.

11. Hah! They lost!
They probably never met smart people before. So sad.

The Protest Warriors are indeed... LOSERS.

And it wasnt' really a debate, they just had their 'manifesto' dessicated on on air.

Sweet.

15. Eh, Im sure you didnt miss much
Im a contributing poster at PW and those guys are hard to reach...just as bad as FR.

It was kind of funny actually when I first signed up and I introduced myself. One of the first things they shove on you is the posting "commandments" which outline what is acceptable behavior in their sandbox. Of course, they were the first (and only ones) to break their own rules.

There was and is a staggering amount of disinformation going around over there. I spent my first couple of days just correcting the falsehoods.

17. You're a contributing poster?
So I'm guessing you can get to their plan for New York?

20. I suppose, but frankly I think it would be a waste of time.
Seriously, what do you expect them to do? Surely they arent dumb enough to discuss it on an open board with everyone and their mother able to look at it.
