DU: Iraqi Election Hysteria

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts)
I can't believe the media! All they can talk about is the "happy" Iraqis, how high turnout was, and how "freedom" has spread to Iraq. I had to turn off CNNazi because they kept focusing on the so-called "voters" and barely mentioned the brave brothers of the resistance. Where are the freedom fighters today??? Are their voices silenced because some American puppets cast a few ballots?

I'm just hoping that something good will come from this. I mean, if women finally have the chance to cast a real vote, maybe they'll finally escape the oppression that was visited on them by Sadam's misogynist regime.

Pull your head out, Femergy! Can't you see the right-wing media's complicity in this conspiracy to present the people of Iraq with a Trojan Horse they call "freedom"? Believe me, once the gates of Troy they call "polling places" have closed, the colonial invasion forces of Amerikkka will complete their imperial occupation by installing a Kapitalist puppet regime led by Cheney's cronies at Halliburton.

You left out an analogy for the soldiers coming out of the horse, Progressive.

Shut up, Kid.

Sorry.  I'm just trying to help.

I've posted over a thousand times, I don't need your help.

I guess you have a point, Progressive.  Halliburton is even more misogynist then some Arab societies are alleged to be by the so-called 'liberal media'.  At least I'm sure they must be, you know, since they have a connection to Cheney.

Dude; try to post something with substance.  That * is Hitler crap is getting old.  I'm not saying it's not true, it's just not very original.

Sorry, man.  Just trying to get up to 1,000 posts.

Well, earn it.  That's what I did.

Sorry, Progressive, but you're way off base. Don't you think that the "resistance" is going to be hunting down people with ink-stained fingers for the next few days? I don't think we should be cheering on the thugs who will try to cut those fingers off.

Do you have any idea how naive you sound?

Young_Anarchist (157 posts)
Yeah, you're like an Iraqi insurgent, coming in here trying to bully us with your thug logic!

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts)
He's not like an insurgent, you idiot!  He's like the imperial American forces, trying to force his own twisted version of debate on us, whether every one of us throws flowers at his feet and welcomes him as a liberator or not.

Young_Anarchist (157 posts)
Are you sure, Progressive? Isn't he more like a thug who's in the minority, trying to force his point of view on all of us by any means possible, even if it falls outside the generally accepted norms of human decency?

Those aren't 'thugs' you moron, they're freedom fighters engaged in a struggle to preserve the integrity of their country against overwhelming odds! Haven't you been reading any of the material I told you to study?

Not yet, I've been really busy working on my big post on how * is conspiring with the right-wing media to, uh, well, I forgot what it's about, but it's really good.

That's it; I'm out of here.

I was going to make up something that fit in with this, but then I came across this on DU:

"66. 72% of the 10% who registered is merely 7 out of 100 voters.

"Only 10% of eligible voters registered and 72% of the registered voters voted.

"That means merely 7 out of 100 Iraqi people voted. Not impressive. Plus, they are voting for 7,000 unknown candidates. Ridiculous.

"I hear that the Iraqis are really electing "a process" rather than candidates to represent them. That's the latest spin on this lotto draw for a "representative" government. Disgusting.

What a math major. I mean, I couldn't make up anything like that. Later on, he admits that he "assumed" the 10% number -- basing it upon the number of Iraqi ex-pat's living in the US that voted, as reported by CNN. But he stands by his "assumption", because ... well ... why cloud this issue with facts?

Moonbats. Skreetching, Howling Moonbats.

He probably got reamed - those guys are really big on correcting people's math, logic, statistical analysis. So if they can do math, why can't they think straight?

Good job over at Aces. I think you made the right decision on adding a comments section.

Thanks amish,

You can always look back and remember that this was the historic day when WuzzaDem started opening threads to comments. Oh, and I think that whole democracy-in-the-middle-east thing started today, too.
