A MAJOR LEFTIST MEDIA ASSHOLE DOES THE COUNTRY A FAVOR

[oregonpackfan]

Tex,

Your original post of this thread is just reprehensible. Though Russert was a Democrat, he did his best to be as objective as possible.

As an interviewer, he was noted for being a dogged interviewer for people who were not being honest with their answers, be they conservatives or progressives.

As PIP stated, Russert was indeed a gentlemen. He wrote a touching story about he and his aging father. It was entitled "Me and Big Russ" or "Big Russ and Me"(I can't remember which).

It is obvious you did not like his political leanings. Maybe you should go and re-read the First Amendment to calm yourself down.

Oregon, he did his best to SEEM as objective as possible. And therein lies the reason why he was so dangerous and harmful to the country. And if you don't believe that, just read through these posts at how many people not nearly as liberal as you who THOUGHT he was something other than the total America-hating leftist scumbag that he was.

If Hitler had written a "touching story about HIS father" would you mourn his death?

The First Amendment is exactly what I'm putting to good use--while a bunch of others--including many in the forum and out who would probably be called conservative and pro-American are acting like damn politicians. Well, I'm not running for anything. I'm telling it like it is--expressing my disgust for somebody that has done so much to harm my/our country.

Texas,

NBC Dateline just released an excellent tribute to Russert which documented his professional, family, and personal life.

He received tributes on this program from people of all walks of life and both sides of the political spectrum including conservatives John McCain, Newt Gingrich, and George W. Bush.

Russert ended a reflection of his that despite all the political arguments in which he was involved, "What a great country!"

That "What a great country" proclamation hardly seems like a statement from someone who allegedly hates America and wants to tear it down. No, Tim Russert loved America.

Tex wants what best for tex--he could give 2 shits about America. He cares about his America.

[MJZiggy]

But he hates the real America.

Yeah, OPF - don't you realize we are all just being brainwashed by the evil genius Tim Russert, and we're all just too stoooopid to know it? That's right, Tex, we're all just dupes, and you're the only intelligent American to know what's really going on.

(Claiming a "liberal conspiracy" - another propaganda technique. Not valid.)

But comparing Russert to Hitler - now that's the most blatant propaganda technique of all - and also, invalid. Um, pretty sure Russert didn't believe in exterminating millions of Americans (which I'm sure Tex would gladly support, on the other hand). Talk about a red herring; real sound reasoning there.

Next time, come heavy or don't come at all. (I'd prefer the latter, personally.)

[MJZiggy]

it takes one sick son-of-a-bitch to applaud someone else's death.

Again. Who the fuck cares? I'm sure if I were dead and conscious of it, I would be highly entertained by someone celebrating my death. He's dead. Get over it.

Skin, it's not necessarily about the guy who died. You don't speak ill of the dead out of respect for their survivors. I have a loose family tie with Michael Kelly who was killed over there in 2003. We have no way of knowing whether someone personally close to Tim Russert posts here. The man does have a family and there are New Yorkers who post here. If your family member or close personal friend dies, I'm not going to run around telling you what a piece of shit I thought they were. It would just add to your pain.

[retailguy]

Tex. I just don't know what to say. I'm so far right, I'm in danger of falling off the scale, but, I couldn't think of a liberal that I would talk like this about in death.

Certainly not Tim Russert.

Tex, in the grand scheme of life and death, Politics is NOT this important. It's not.

I'm disappointed in you, your position, your excersize of your right to free speech, and your belief that this is "fair game".

Today, I'm ashamed to associate you as part of the republican party. We don't need to gloat over things like this.

I'll miss Tim Russert. At least he voiced his opinion, even when it was wrong. If we all did that, this county would be a better place.

[digitaldean]

Wow. I skip checking in to PR for 1 day and all this


Tex, I, for one, think that Russert was not, repeat, not the subversive you make him out to be. Some of the questions I have seen him give on MTP or the debates have been a little out there. But I have also seen him put a libs feet to the fire also.

I am a conservative that wants as small a gov't as possible and not having people thrusting political correctness in my face every time.

That being said, rejoicing at the demise of another human being... man that's just flat out cold.

First Amendment rights should be observed. Your opinion carries the same weight as everyone elses. But let's keep in mind that this site was set up for the benefit of all. Let's not make this place the reincarnation of JSO. I can not stand to see this descend in what that muckhole became.

Wishing ill on others or rejoicing in their demise shows a lack of humanity that is creeping more and more into this society. Case in point, Nancy Reagan hurts herself in a fall that necessitates hospitalization. Then goons on Huffington Post throw out bilge against her and her late husband Pres. Reagan and cheer at her injury. It's just as stupid as the morons who cheered at my high school the day Pres. Reagan was shot.

If I posted what Tex did to someone opposite of my beliefs, it reflects one thing... I haven't learned one single thing from my Christian upbringing.

Anyone that rejoices in the pain of others, whatever side of the political spectrum they're from, deserves whatever moral indignation that gets heaped upon them.

Tex, I wish no ill will on you. I am glad when you speak out to champion those conservative beliefs you hold to. But the discourse of ideas needs to be devoid of the hate that this thread brings out. It needs more common sense, another trait severely lacking in our society.

It's bad enough having politicians spew this drivel, let's hope we the people are smarter than that.

I partially agree with your cynacism. When somebody dies that you see on TV, people want a piece of the grieving action. Its entertainment. Everybody light a candle, a candle in the wind. I was dreading the afternmath of the Tim Russert tradgedy, because he so likeable and public.

But then again, its not like the emotions people feel aren't real. I about went into a coma when Jerry Garcia died - why? I don't know him. I thought he was a very intelligent and gentle person. I'm sure many people have a simlar admiration for Tim Russert, so they feel a loss as if they really knew him.

Tex evidently sees Tim Russert much like some people in this forum see Michael Vick.

I don't get it, but I think that explains his sentiment.

Oregon, as i said, I'm not a politician--or even subject to the whims of manipulation of the public--like Bush, McCain, Hannity, or whoever else said nice things about this piece of scum, Russert.

I see I'm continuing to get criticized by a bunch of people in here--some I tend to respect, others not much. The fact is, I don't do forums to win popularity contests. I tell it like it is--which I will give SOME of you who are posting against me here credit for doing too.

The fact is, there is a big world out there of people who aren't scared to speak ill of somebody the left propped up as an icon and who don't feel the need to be politically correct or whatever.

The bottom line here, as Harlan and maybe a couple of others figured out, is that I certainly do see this asshole Russert like ...... Michael Vick? some weird example there. Michael Vick apparently harmed what, 200-300 dogs? And the liberal media says "hate him", so a lot of people hate him. Well, multiply Vick times whatever the harm is worth of potentially ruining this country and killing millions, and that is what I hold Russert responsible for--hnot him alone, but his sick kind--the wolves in sheep's clothing of the leftist mainstream media who have brought us a horrendously liberal Congress and the prospect of a Dem/lib president who in this nuclear age, could literally throw it all away--our freedom, our prosperity, even our lives.

How? Why? You may ask.

Can we agree 9/11 was a bad thing? Can we further agree that repeats of 9/11, possibly multiple, possibly with worse weapons--chemical, biological, nuclear--would be a worse thing? Can we even agree that taking out several of our cities with terrorist nukes who affect EVERYBODY--not just the millions killed and others directly harmed--I'm talking about no more freedom, no more normalcy, no more enjoyment of life?

Now for the hard part that I'm sure you libs won't agree with, but it's true just the same. That scenario of horrors is INFINITELY more likely with an Obama or other leftist presidency--their stated policies, their votes against security, their overal de-prioritizing defeating the terrorist enemy ALL make terrorist hits in this country much more likely.

Where do Russert and the other assholes of the leftist mainstream media come in? THEY have corrupted the political climate to where that scenario is far more likely. One of my detractors above said something like "politics doesn't matter". WRONG! Politics is how things get done in this country--how CHANGE happens--even most liberals know that.

I love America and the great life we all have in America, and I don't want to see that destroyed. The death of Russert eliminated one major force toward the destruction of America and our way of life.

If thats what your basing your hatred on then thats very extreme. Now i admit to not knowing much on this guy, but first off i can guarantee you that that would never happen. Reason? because the population wouldn't let it. America is not some place run like a tyranny, but its a democracy/republic whatever the hell you want to call it, I mean you act as if Electing Obama would be the end of the world. Im not defending him, hell i cant even vote yet and even if i could i would for McCain. But im saying that if Obama starts corrupting things, he would be removed.

[BallHawk]

Just a simple question for Tex.

Do you give a damn that the guy has a family? That his son just graduated from college and this happens? That he died two days before Father's Day and now his wife and son will have no one?

Of course you don't. You're a sad old man who's convinced that every media pundit who dares differ from your opinion is a scumbag that deserves to die.

It's pathetic and so are you for even implying that Russert's death is a good thing. The man was a force in American politics and above that a great man who was involved in charity and other events for the greater good.

I pity you, Tex. I really do.

[bobblehead]

I wasn't gonna waste any more on this thread, but tex let me say this.

I actually UNDERSTAND your point, in a way I hope you don't misinterpret as condoning this I even agree with some of it.

That being said, pissing on someones grave is not a way to make a point, it will NEVER convince anyone or accomplish ANYTHING other than to make people dismiss everything else you say. (and make you look like a jack-ass)

You think Russert hates america, I think he is a very decent person who is guilty of bad political judgement. The same probably goes for Obama although I can't "know" him yet.

You do a disservice to yourself and everything you stand for when you celebrate someones death because you disagree with him.

Now, all you leftists forgive me, this is directed at tex, not you.

First off, you gotta realize most of the very liberal left media actually believe that crap, they are brainwashed in school and by their surroundings. They are by and large very good people who happen to have bought swampland in florida. You should be feeling sorry for them, not hating them. You shoud do everything you can to point out why the long standing polocies of the left have failed over and over again, rescue them!!

Some might just get it, some might never get it, and if your lucky you will become a much better adjusted person and possibly learn something along the way.

All that this post shows is that you have managed to stumble into the correct philosophy through luck and not through logical thought, cuz logical thought would have precluded you from hating a guy like russert even if you disagree with him.

You come across as very bitter and angry in this post (among other things) and that is sad. I don't know you, and I won't try to judge you, but one thing I can tell you for certain is if you lose that anger and learn to embrace even those you disagree with you will be a much happier person. I'm not naive about love peace and happiness solving everything, but I'll save the bombs for the terrorists and I'll give russert some respect.

I know some on this forum disagree with me and might not like a few things I said here, I hope you can let it slide in this instance and take it out on me in some other thread where I might be inclined to put more ink on, I am done with this one.

Bobblehead, WHY do you feel the need to APOLOGIZE for this? Either you believe what you say, or you don't. Are YOU a politician? Are YOU in a popularity contest? Do YOU beieve in the idiocy of political correctness?

As I said in the other thread, there's a helluva lot at stake here in terms of destroying our way of life. Whatever Russert's attitude or Obama's attitude or whatever, it's the RESULT of the horrendous SHIT they are pushing that counts--and in the case of Russert, the subtle ability to influence the electorate while having this bogus image of objectivity.

Ballhawk, I don't know about you, but I can put my "give a damn" factor in perspective--MUCH MUCH less significant than the HARM done to the country by the likes of Russert.

Would YOU give a damn about the "family" or whatever if Rush Limbaugh died? Or George W. Bush? Maybe you would, I don't know you, but a helluva lot of those on the despicable left side--which you may or may not be--would NOT. Did you, for example feel sorry for "poor Saddam Hussein" when his two sons were killed?

There's a whole lot of very selective "giving a damn" going around? Why is it usually the liberals and socialists who get the benefit of it? Maybe because THEY control the media?
