Warblogger writes of the Terrorist Sympathizers of Democratic Underground

[Oilwellian]

Malachy Joyce, who posts on the warblog Hundredpercenter Newswires, believes David Allen, who runs the Democratic Underground web site, should be arrested for treason. Joyce is upset because some people posting on DU are less than enthusiastic about “our troops” killing people in Iraq. “After reading the anti-American, treasonous, seditious comments on Democraticunderground, I became convoluted about unlimited free speech. We all enjoy free speech. But, should it be used to advocate the killing of U.S. troops at war?” writes Joyce. Most of the posts quoted by Joyce are emotional ramblings concerning the invasion of Fallujah, hardly advocacy for the murder of U.S. troops (it seems unlikely Iraqi “insurgents” read posts on DU). “Is there a limit to Freedom of Speech? If so, what do you think should happen to that website? Would it be a dangerous precedent for the Government to act upon terrorist sympathisers, such as DemocraticUnderground.com?” writes Joyce.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand I realize that the comments were probably posted by some hippie-drug addict- 1960’s burn-outs, who hate America, and are harmless. On the other hand, I feel that it is the administrators responsibility to filter out such comments.

If it were up to me, I’d have the owner, David Allen, arrested for inciting violence against U.S soldiers. Period.

Perhaps the IRS should look into Mr. David Allen’s tax returns. I wonder if Mr. Allen is claiming all of the donations he receives from his loyal traitors.

Joyce includes Allen’s email and post office box address.

9. don't forget THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE BILL OF RIGHTS

Now that Bush has his “mandate” from the American people, those who oppose his policies can expect increased surveillance, harrassment, and maybe even arrest and detention. Recall Bush’s attitude toward those who disagreed with him when he was the governor of Texas— he told peaceful environmental protesters demonstrating outside the governor’s mansion in 1999, that “the rules have changed” and ordered them arrested. “The governor seems to think he can, by fiat, simply hack away ‘the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances,’ to quote a portion of the First Amendment,” commented Charles Levendosky of the Casper Star-Tribune. Indeed. As we now know, Bush believes the Bill of Rights itself should be changed.

[Occulus]

102. those first two seem to regard the soldiers' phychological health

following the war, as they come back. I think I remember reading that thread. There's nothing traitorous about it, either- there will be people here paying with their lives because some returned soldiers go over the edge.

That's not being treasonous- it's simply making a sad observation.

[Bush was AWOL]

10. Some people spend more time bashing our troops than the terrorists

I've got over a thousand posts and am life long Democrat, but it disgusts me to no end to see our troops being bashed by fellow liberals, and yet I see nothing about how cruel some of these baathists and foreign fighters are in Iraq. Maybe some people here need to spend a little more time analyzing who the enemy actually is. US forces or foreign fighters and insurgents who'd cut my head or your head off if they spotted you in Fallujah.

[Kimber Scott]

27. I'm right there with you. I never agreed with this war, but wishing our

troops harm, or saying they deserve to die, (as I got into another argument about on this board), is not something I'm going to take lying down. I used to be a troop. My husband's a retired troop. My daughter-in-law just got back from Iraq and my son served in Afghanistan. Nobody deserves to die. Not an American. Not an Iraqi. Bush started this war. Bush deserves the ire.

It's our troops who have fought for the rights of people to be able to say what they want, but the speakers will have to listen to the other side of the story, as well. Just think, if some of these DUers were Iraqi, or Chinese, or any of a hundred other nationalities, they'd have to pay for what they say with their lives. So, when people are fucking the troops, they should be thanking them at the same time for allowing them the opportunity to do it!

[Bush was AWOL]

48. I agree

I hate this war as well.

I was driving around today thinking about what is currently going on Fallujah. I thought to myself, how could anyone possibly justify this war considering everything we know now. Then I thought, how could Bush possibly be reelected after what he did.

My beef with people here is I see more blame going towards the soldiers than people like Osama Bin Laden and those who've cut off heads.

[Kimber Scott]

62. I've seen those posts, too. I believe people have the right to say what

they want to say, even if I don't like it, but being as this is a political board in a public sphere I wish people would think more carefully about what they say.

It was very politically expedient for a lot of people to "support the troops" before the election. Now the election is over, they have lost the incentive to be civil, or even use common sense. This kind of talk is not only hurtful, personally, but it harms the party, as well. As George Bush is the recruitment poster boy for Islamic extremism, the bashing of the troops plays right into the Right-Wingers hands. Evidence: The Warblog guy's post.

Politics isn't about saying what you feel and beating everybody else over the head with it. Evidence: Jerry Falwell. He really makes me want to jump up and play Christian. But, politics is about persuading people to want to understand your point of view. Wishing harm on our sons and daughters won't change anybody's mind, it will just cement further bigotries against us.

P.S. I know most DUers aren't troop bashers, but it's the few who will get the negative attention.

[NorthernSpy]

55. the troops basically just defend and enforce government policy...

... whatever it happens to be at the time.

If government policy is to uphold the First Amendment, then the troops may be said, in some sense, to have defended the First Amendment. However, Iraq never threatened freedom of speech in America (utterly laughable, this bizarre attempt to make it sound as though Iraqis were in some kind of global crusade to shut everyone up!). What the troops are doing in Iraq does not in ANY sense bolster the security of Constitutionally enumerated freedoms. As usual, the threat to free speech comes from within our own society.

When government policy was to uphold racist laws, then the troops may legitimately have been said to have defended racist laws. Since the current goverment policy is aggressive warfare, torture, kangaroo courts, imprisonment without trial, and the "PATRIOT" Act, then the troops defend these things every bit as much as they defend our dwindling rights and freedoms.

Ditto for ANY government policy.


On those occasions when America's defenders have been ordered to turn their guns on American citizens, they have complied. And there is no reason to believe that they would fail to comply with similar commands in the future. This is part of why the founders of this country considered the maintenance of a standing army to be a dire threat to the safety of the people.

[aquart]

28. "Who the enemy actually is." Do YOU know?

WE are the enemy of Iraq. We invaded a country which had NOT attacked us.

I have always believed that if you start a way, you don't get a say in how it ends.

But, as I sit here gathering books to send to our soldiers, I don't want a single American harmed. There are many kinds of harm. Since I'm older, I remember the walking wounded of VietNam. I remember the men with the nightmares and the lives forever scarred and ruined by memories too terrible to tell without eight beers.

The enemy of American troops is George W. Bush who lied them to their deaths for a prize we will NEVER be allowed to keep.

We are now hated, despised and WEAKENED in the world. While you and George are happily making war in the MidEast, Brazil just sent an envoy to Aristide. I'll bet that didn't even make your radar. But that signals that the power vacuum left in the Americas by the demise of the United States as superpower is attracting candidates to fill the void. We are losing our standing everywhere in the world and if we were attacked anywhere in the world, HOW THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU THINK WE COULD FIGHT BACK?????????

Don't you DARE start preaching how much you love the people who are dying in your place for a lie. And worse, if they survive, they have the faces of the innocent, invaded people they murdered before their eyes forever. Don't you DARE.



Bush has sent them unprotected and HUNGRY into a foreign nation which RIGHTLY is fighting back against oppression from its invaders. The horror is that WE are the invaders.

[vetwife]

84. They confused Du for Free Republic...There lies your chickenhawk

traitors ! They won't fight for a war they are supposed to believe in. This lady does not know the difference between supporting troops and not supporting a war. The war and the warrior are two different things. See, we have morals and values and believe in thou Shalt not Kill..PERIOD ! If she read Du then she would know there were veterans and Iraqi vet and active service member families here.

[NorthernSpy]

37. that's an absurd remark

I've got over a thousand posts and am life long Democrat, but it disgusts me to no end to see our troops being bashed by fellow liberals, and yet I see nothing about how cruel some of these baathists and foreign fighters are in Iraq. Maybe some people here need to spend a little more time analyzing who the enemy actually is. US forces or foreign fighters and insurgents who'd cut my head or your head off if they spotted you in Fallujah.

Huh? And just what kind of treatment do you think a FOREIGN INVADER would get if they parked their army on OUR soil? Mass candle-light vigils and singings of Kumbaya? Hell -- our response would change the very definition of "cruel", and beheadings would be the least of it. Unless, of course, you really don't think we'd fight back with everything we had. Thing is, I at least have more confidence in us than that.


Or maybe you just don't think that mere brown people get to take the defense of their countries as seriously as valuable white folks do...


:eyes:

[mitchtv]

38. terrorists? you mean the Iraqi resistance

you would do the same to them if they were occupying our country. Military occupation is violence; everything else is a reaction.These deaths are all Bushes fault. Let's keep things in perspective.

[Bush was AWOL]

41. Agree.

I'm referring to people being critical of the soldiers.

And I doubt Iraqi's would be cheering for Americans and ridiculing Iraqi troops if the invaded the United States. A

All I'm saying is that we should keep things in perspective by trying to look at things from the troops point of view.

Do you think it's possible that being in Iraq for months, being shot at daily and watching friends die has possibly affected their mindset?

[puddycat]

46. it disgusts me to see the pervasive war-like mindset of our culture

This glorification of all things military is a dangerous and un-Constitutional precedent. We have to fight this macho-fascist attitude of over-militarization--it will be the death of our democracy. Our military should not be used for these constant foreign wars for the benefit of rich white men. It is against everything that our nation was founded on.

So, I don't understand some of you here at DU who whimper and cry every time a freeper viciously attacks anti-militarization views. A freeper is a fascist and a warmonger. Who the fuck cares what scum like that think? We know they operate off of the Nazi turnspeak propaganda book, and constant attacks are part and parcel of their twisted minds. Instead of constantly being defensive about the moral highground we hold, we run around on the defensive. It has not done the Democrats any good to do that. The biggest mistake Kerry made in the campaign, in my view, is to ignore his brave and courageous anti-war activities.

[TheKingfish]

47. Baathists and foreign fighters...

Please don't use RW talking points, it just sounds silly.

[Bush was AWOL]

52. What do you prefer I use?

There are Baathists and Foreign Fighters in Fallujah. We've known this for months. It's not a right wing talking point or term. It's the truth. You can admit the truth while still knowing that the war in Iraq is an illegal and imoral war.

[TheKingfish]

53. yea there are some of each

but to characterize the whole resistance that way is rediculous.

24. Oh, and let us not forget the other mantra

"THE GOP IS THE PARTY OF IDEAS."

These are the guys who make BRUTAL fun of personal appearance, not just candidates, but spouses too, with great glee, who claim that all of our servicemembers are "happy" to be in Iraq (rather like those cheerful slaves in pre-Civil War America) and all we have to do is "stay the course" and all will be well.

They sure are the party of IDEAS...fucked-up ideas!!!!!!

[xpunkisneatx]

14. grrr...

Ya know what. This really pisses me off. I have read a lot of the posts on here, and if they are saying something negative about the troops, it is usually in response to the "blood-thirstiness" that these troops portray whenever they get their faces on TV. I am speaking of the "Yeah, i just blew the shit outa something" comments. I personally have several friends in Iraq right now and I know they do not want to be there...I personally wish nothing but the best for the troops and a safe return home.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Why do they hate us for our freedoms?

I must admit these dasys when I do hear bush ask this questiion I think of people like this blogger...

[NorthernSpy]

68. LOL! The threat to free speech in America comes from our own...

... society, and not from Iraq, fer cryin out loud! This war is not waged in defense of either our freedom or our security. That really should have been completely obvious to all.

If you can be made to believe absurdities, you can be made to commit atrocities. As someone said.

[BlueJazz]

16. I agree with Malachy Joyce. (as far as the Free Speech part)

We have to be very careful what we say. I mean, IF we were not careful than somebody like Radicalliberal would say something like: "Why don't you challenge me to a verbal dual or better yet why don't I just beat your fascist, ignorant, redneck, hillbilly face in" ... We certainly wouldn't want that.

19. This is EXACTLY why I jumped (sometimes harshly)

on those DUers who advocated violent overthrow of the government last week.

I know you're angry after the election, and I can't say I disagree with your "concerns" about the potential for a civil war in the U.S. But I think Skinner has done a wonderful job with DU, and I don't want to see him investigated for allowing his forum to be used to incite the violent overthrow of the government--which is a federal felony. Being under investigation is a terrible experience and, even if you are cleared (2 years and $100,000 later), your reputation and psyche are almost always savaged in the process.

(My apologies to GarySeven, but I had to put a stop to it. Immediately.)

The right should realize there are many members here who have relatives in Iraq and DU has wrapped their arms around them and provided much support. We're all angry about Bush lying his way into this war and failing to secure the huge caches of conventional weapons that are now slaughtering our kids and Iraqi families.

The right should wake up and become a part of the reality-based community. Our "moral values" don't include the slaughter of thousands of innocents.

91. Yes, in looking at the number of military ballots

precinct by precinct in my state, I was aware of how many of my neighbors have family there, and of how many of them are probably Democratic sons or daughters based on the Democratic versus Republican percentages in these districts. Democrats have fought honorably in every war. There are war veterans throughout the top eschelon of our Democratic leadership.

[Norquist Nemesis]

23. "should it be used to advocate the killing of U.S. troops"

Well, first of all, I've NEVER seen a post on this nature in the year or so since I've been here.

Second of all, while they're scouring around over here, let's demand they take a long hard look at the Freaker site. Now if you want to talk about killing Americans, that's the place to be!

[LittleClarkie]

25. Who the hell wishes violence against US soldiers

I want them home in one piece. We support the troops, just not the war itself.

I was so proud to sit next to some guys from Houston and realize that just by how I talked about health care for the troops and how National Guards should get the same benefits as active duty if both are exposed to the same dangers, they immediately got the idea that I was supporting the troops if not the war. They seemed sort of surprised but somewhat pleased, considering they could also tell that I was a Kerry supporter. Maybe I raised their awareness alittle that we aren't what they've been told we are, not all anyway.

I probably have a certain general and a certain Vietnam veteran to thank for that perspective, by the way. I hadn't thought much about it before, or about being the daughter of a veteran. Bless the Vets for Kerry, Gen. Clark and Kerry himself for that.

http://www.rejectliberalism.com/articles/mediasvietnam6-14-04.htm

[dweller]

45. Such a history lesson!

"As fate would have it, I met and married Malachy Joyce--a soldier who served in Vietnam with the
101st Airborne. Malachy received many medals for bravery and service to his country. However, he did
not discard his medals as meaningless pieces of junk as did Presidential hopeful John Kerry. Malachy
didn't really speak much about his experiences in Vietnam and I never pressed the issue. However, I did
ask him how much it meant to him to have so many supporters who vigilantly protested the war trying
to get him and the others home. Much to my surprise, he spoke in great detail about the " Media" and
those "Jerks" that were protesting the war. He felt betrayed by both. He strongly felt the media kept
the nation polarized with their antiwar sentiments. Malachy was deeply hurt by the Media's skewed
perception that all Vietnam Vets were "drug crazed" savages committing atrocities. Due to the
continual negative press about the Vietnam Vets, there weren't any parades to welcome them home
when they touched American soil. Instead they were made to feel ashamed that they had
participated in a war that the "Media" did not approve of. My sweet brave soldier taught me a valuable
lesson about true patriotism that I practice today, and it's quite simple; during a war a true American
supports his President and Troops unconditionally."

64. Hmmm.....Is it just me,

I don't know about anyone else, but by the time I was in nineth grade no composition teacher in my school would have allowed me to express myself in this fashion. Every other sentence starts with Malachy, no independent thought, no facts referenced.

If Malachy isn't married to a fourteen year old, Malachy wrote this himself.

In my opinion.

[DubyaSux]

69. It's not helping.....

...many people on here are pouring their lives into figuring out what happened with this election. They are calling their representatives, the media, and anybody who will listen.

But when people actively support the destruction of our troops for being forced to fight for their lives in some bullshit war, who will come to our defense?

And if a fellow poster tries to put those comments into some type of more proper perspective, the poster gets flamed and lumped in with the troops.

Wishing harm to our troops on a public forum is not helping any cause no matter how much of a right you think you have to speak it. You've set other's efforts regarding current issues back to the stone age for venting your hatred of the war through our troops.

Bad form. Really, really bad form.

[NorthernSpy]

72. only war-supporters wish harm and destruction upon the troops

The only people who are literally wishing harm and destruction upon the troops are those who support the war, because their advocacy makes that harm and destruction inevitable.

Those vague, undefined demands that we "support" the troops are in essence demands that we fail to disapprove of what the troops are doing over there. And yet it is that very attitude of so-called "support" that encourages the government to go to war more often than it would if the American people were willing to stick to their princples and refuse to applaud participation in war. This absurd "support" for the troops always makes war more likely. "Supporting" the troops ultimately just gets them killed.


That this does not matter to the "supporters" tells you everything you need to know about them.

These people make me sick to my stomach. Such a celebration of symbol over meaning, icon over intellect, jingoism over empathy. How do we get total pod-people like this to join the reality based community? I don't think it can be done. I think some people are too far gone.

*shudder*

89. "This site needs to be investigated for actively

sympathizing with foreign terrorists and inciting violence against U.S.troops abroad". You idiotic, investigation-calling-for twit, my son is in Fallujah, and I get nothing but support from the fine people here on DU. Not a day goes by without someone asking me how he is doing, or sending out their prayers. So take your phony support the troops investigation nonsense and shove it up your ass. (sorry about the ass part mods).

78. Why isn't Malachy Joyce in Iraq fighting for his glorious leader?

Put your ass where your mouth is, you nazi pig.

79. He hates us for our freedom

Guess he must have cherrypicked the constitution.

:shrug:

[bling bling]

80. Damn that evil Constitution!!!

Those comments he mentioned also could have been from Freeper infiltrators just trying to make us look bad.

I don't care what he thinks anyway. If Americans aren't tough enough to handle hearing opinions of war posted on openly partisan opinion boards than we aren't tough enough to be engaged in war.

82. Malarkey Joyce is an overheated little totalitarian...

... who is pants-pissing terrified of dissent. A Stalinist.

I don't care what he thinks anyway. If Americans aren't tough enough to handle hearing opinions of war posted on openly partisan opinion boards than we aren't tough enough to be engaged in war.

Absolutely!

Also, the real threat to freedom comes from people like Malarkey Joyce and the faction they belong to. Like Stalin, they actually feel entitled to 100%, full-throated approval of their idiotic policies, and their fondest dream is to send every dissenter to the gulag so that they won't have to risk hearing inconvenient truths.

83. We are all in the same boat now....

We may have started on DU for a different purpose. But, we see a bigger battle before us. We cannot go back. The battle is too important.

[vetwife]

85. Did Joyce just call Elizabeth Edwards and Chris Heinz traitors too ?

Stupid warmonger !

[Carolab]

88. These people see things so black and white

why can't they see the shades of grey?

If they really understood the picture, they'd see that we support our military force being used as it was intended to be used--defensively. Sending these young men and women to die and be wounded and to kill for empire is wrong. We also consider it a crime that these same troops don't have the necessary equipment and protection to keep themselves safe from weapons constructed largely out of material that was looted when it should have been protected. And, to add insult to injury, they return home to find their jobs gone, their benefits slashed, and their lives ruined. I suggest that they visit the websites of men, women and families in the military who are opposed as we are to this war. Would they like their blogs trashed and their tax returns investigated as well?

90. Well, at least he didn't advocate labeling the DU as a terrorist

organization and having all the contributors arrested as enemy combatants.

[JSJ]

93. don't blame the site developer- blame me! i did it- i called for the...

...deaths of troops who are killing unarmed children and old people in Iraq. And, I will continue to do so until they stop purposely killing civilians.

97. Thank you.... hoo, boy. And now it begins..

Geez, just read a thread about tanks at a protest in LA, now this!

[KG]

95. amusing how some are for freedom of speech till they hear something

they don't like the sound of.

[LynnTheDem]

96. Does this person mean like REPUBLICAN TOM DELAY?

Who tried to pass a bill to NOT SUPPORT OUR TROOPS while they were in combat?

Or the FACT that Republicans cut defense spending under President Clinton and then rushed our troops to a war based on total bullshit WITHOUT ENOUGH RIFLES, ARMOR, BULLETS et al?

Here's LOTS of those rightwingnut quotes attacking CLinton and NOT supproting our troops when the President has a (D) after his name;

But suddenly, when the president has an (R), then everything is different.

98. Only the beginning. Evil is ascendant in Amerika and the monsters are

stirring.

They have not forgot how they lived and what they did without consequence to African-Americans in the years from Recontrsuction to the 1960s. (and beyond, to a lesser degree)

But NOW, we are ALL the N(REDACTED)gers for the Bushevik Totalitarian Scum.

[HeeBGBz]

99. Tanks for the memories

What about the tank thing? Hadn't heard.

[Kipepeo]

100. Now she's posted a letter to the Department of Homeland Security

What a nutcase. A scary nutcase, but a nutcase nonetheless.

101. The guy's a hack

better left to his own devices than giving him more fodder.
