Here's the "I Don't Care" leader (Warning: Heavy OUTRAGE alert!)

[Richard Steele]

From his own website,
Here's Mike Gallagher
A MAN WHO NEVER SERVED:



Mike Gallagher, reality-challenged feces-flinger extraordinaire;
is actually so SHAMELESS as to call his "charitable" efforts
by the name of "Gallagher's ARMY".
http://www.gallaghersarmy.com

I hope someone looks into the FUNDING
of that little bus trip his minions took yesterday.

This guy's entire EXISTENCE seems to be
an INSULT to real Patriots.
IMHO, every American who served honorably
is entitled to a free kidney-punch on this
wretched excuse for a human being.

Sadly, most of them wouldn't stoop to his level.

[RoyGBiv]

1. Is it just me?

Or does he look like Soupy Sales about to put on a vaudeville show?

[opihimoimoi]

4. Like Bush, he uses a COSTUME? WTF? that is so Housewifey

Apologies to all housewives.....

[Hubert Flottz]

13. He wants to play Army!

[Hubert Flottz]

64. Some people trick or treat 24/7 like mike galliger or my X wife

I think Mike would feel more at home in a nice girlyman uniform like his Lord and Master's!

[opihimoimoi]

68. Da Gurly Mon Bush shot...OMG.... I want to ralph already....

Come, we go find Pinto Beans to fill the crack....make gas...then light um up....

[Hubert Flottz]

69. I think Mike's ole Daddy liked to dress up and play Army too!

If the GOPers hated Saddam so bad, why do they all wanna' play dress up like he did!

[opihimoimoi]

70. Yeah, kinda like all those dictators with a zillion funny medals/ribbons/

sashes/ and other shit....

Bush and his warrior flight sweet with a big dick thingy bulging falls into the category of Pretend..,.same shit...

[Hubert Flottz]

71. Uncommon...a bush with a large root like that one in the pictures!

He sure is socking it to America!

[opihimoimoi]

75. Bush represents the worst of America...certainly not the BEST...

Arrogance, greed, disdain for the common folk and a disdain for the Common Good.

He is the reason why they hate us... not FREEDOM, thats pure pig shit...

Sorry pigs....

[montana_hazeleyes]

61. He does!

LOL

[Neshanic]

67. He DOES look like Soupy Sales. Where's Fang?

[ThoughtCriminal]

2. HAHAHAHAHA

Beyond parody - I could not FAKE a more outrageous chickenhawk image.

On Edit:

On second though yes I could - I would give hom more "Medals"

[johnfunk]

49. I love the wacky costume

Peter Graves in the film Airplane immediately comes to mind.



"You like gladiator films?"

[Richard Steele]

50. "So, Timmy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

"Let's ask your mom if you can go to Texas on my bus!"

[Clintmax]

3. The guy is such a freakin loser!

Heavy outrage is right! What the hells is he doing in a uniform! Mocking the veterans I say!

[icymist]

5. OMG! It's Rimmer from 'Red Drawf'!

What a dork!

[Richard Steele]

10. You! Nail! Head!

I knew he reminded me of someone,
but I just couldn't put my finger on it!

Thank you so much!

[icymist]

55. LOL. Glad I could help!

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

56. Quite welcome. That was gonna keep me from sleeping! nm

[drm604]

32. No, Jim Nabors!

Gollllly!

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. What a dork!

Playing dress up just like Commander Bunnypants!

[Imagevision]

62. Lie deny smear, aren't you use to it by now?!!

Fool me once Bush, that'sall it takes, and you folled me at first with 9-11 investigation panel - by refusing to allow the public to not have access to the deleted 28 pages from the 9-11 report until after the 04 election!

[hobbit709]

7. What Country's uniform is that?

Must be from Lower Moronia

[Richard Steele]

17. That's the Dress Uniform of the 101st Fighting Keyboardists!

Special ASSHAT group.

[Inland]

76. LOL nt

[teknomanzer]

53. More like...

Jakassistan. I cant wait to get my free kidney punch. All these chickenhawk just love to wear military garb. When I was busting ass as a tank crewman back from '91 to '94 I couldn't wait to take off the pickle suit and put on some civilian clothes. I don't get the fascination... and I'm really tired of dumbasses who want to play soldier. Its not a frickin' game, and in my experience it wasn't fun either...

[TWiley]

8. What is it with Republicans playing Dress Up?

What the FUCK is wrong with these people?

[Beam Me Up]

12. Well, they ARE the party of deception, aren't they?

They have no real morals or scruples or values; everything they say and do is FAKE. Fake elections for fake presidents posturing for fake photo-ops during fake terrorist attacks to launch fake wars against fake terrorists.

Remember: Jimmy crack corn and THEY DON'T CARE!

[TWiley]

27. What is Jimmy Crack Corn anyway?

I never understood that rhyme.

[RoyGBiv]

36. Old Minstrel Song ...

It was probably written by the same guy who wrote Dixie, a Northerner who wrote sentimental lyrics about the South.

What it means is open to interpretation, or your best guess. The song is about a slave who, among his other duties, is supposed to keep the blue-tail fly away from "Massa," but during a particularly bad swarm of them failed, resulting in the horse on which Massa was sitting being bitten, knocking Massa off and killing him.

Jim either then goes around gossiping (cracking corn) about the incident or drinking corn liquor (another meaning of cracking corn), but no one cares because Massa's gone away.

[Richard Steele]

46. Thanks for that interpretation, Roy!

I always heard it was about brewing alcohol...
I never knew that "cracking corn" was also slang for gossiping.

[Beam Me Up]

74. See RoyGBiv's post #37 for explanation. Here are the lyrics:

Roy's interpretation makes sense to me.

When I was young I used to wait
On master and hand him his plate
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue-tail fly

Chorus
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
My master's gone away
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

When he would ride in the afternoon
I'd follow him with my hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by the blue-tail fly

Chorus

One day he rode around the farm
Flies so numerous that they did swarm
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
The devil take the blue-tail fly

Chorus

Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly

Chorus

Now he lies beneath the 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of the blue-tail fly"

[Mabus]

31. they're trying to attract the gay vote

by dressing up like the neo-con version of the Village People?


It is quite pathetic to see grown men dressed up like army men. It's like they haven't grown up.

[Hubert Flottz]

59. If you were as fukted up as most of them are, would you want to

be yourself all the time?

[gmoney]

9. LOL... his book tour had an apt title...

The "Surrounded by Idiots" Book Tour... and I suspect at every appearance, that was the case.

But that is some of the WORST photoshop work EVER.

I just wish these idiots weren't so dangerous...

[stepnw1f]

11. Sick in the Head Dweeb

What the hell is he trying to prove by wearing that uniform? Talk about disrespecting our military. Wow... way out there.

[ThoughtCriminal]

14. Oh, I can't wait until I see the next RW quote him on a board

And I can post that pic aand ask: This guy????

:rofl:

[DanCa]

15. Where the fracking Hell does he get off wearring a uniform.

You tell the hermaphodite that am going to shove my walker so far up his hind quarters he'll be passing metal for weeks.
Sorry I just had to vent.

[Zenlitened]

16. What airline does he fly for?

:shrug:

[bvar22]

35. Which Hotel is he a doorman for?

In which bathroom is he an attendant?

Fucking PLAY SOLDIERS. They DISRESPECT our TROOPS by denigrating their service!

I was taught to have RESPECT for our men in uniform. Even as a child, it was NOT OK to use pieces of REAL uniforms, ranks, or service decorations!

[stevedeshazer]

57. Aeroflot!

[City Lights]

18. He's with the 666th Chickenhawk Squadron? eom

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

19. LMAO

[Beelzebud]

20. It's photoshoped even! Thats just a regular suit.

Notice the stripes on his arm? Do most uniforms have stars that FADE off and blend into the jacket color?

The stars and bars on his shoulders is an obvious paste job too.

The moron couldn't even rent a fake uniform!

[noamnety]

45. I was just going to ask about those fading stripes

I don't recall ever getting the fading ones, but then again I never made it high enough to have 3 stars. :)

[evilqueen]

21. Crime committed

Impersonating a military officer is a crime, particularly if Gallagher is receiving any sort of income (including ad revenue) in conjunction with this crime.

[evilqueen]

26. *dingdingding*

I've recommended this thread. Please call attention to the crime committed by Gallagher. The photo *is* from gallagher's website! - check the properties on that photo in the first post.

Someone please get the word out on this!

[jmowreader]

79. I don't think this rises to the level of a real crime

Okay, a crime against good taste, but that's not in the US Code.

If this chickenhawk would have gone out, bought a set of Marine officer blues and put 'em on, not only would that be a crime but every Gyrene from the ghost of Chesty Puller to the guys the Corps kicked out for smoking weed would be after his ass.

You can, however, go out and make up your own uniform and be a general in your own army, like this guy did, and not really get in trouble. I mean, come on: rank stripes on your sleeve and stars on your shoulder? Who the fuck would believe he was an officer in a real service? He looks like the dumbass who Sergeant Cloud told us about--this guy decided to go AWOL from basic training so he went to the PX, bought a set of sergeant stripes and a set of major leaves, put them both on, then told the gate guard he was a sergeant major. Yes, there are people that fucking dumb. And no, it didn't work.

[Catholic Sensation]

22. well considering he said Bush's service during Vietnam

was more patriotic and praise-worthy than Kerry's, his statements about military families and such should be flushed down the shitter.

The actual color of that suit he's wearing is brown, because if he saw a gun, people behind wouldn't be able to see he just crapped himself.

[Swamp Rat]

24. I worked on so many other pix last night, I neve got around to that one...

OK, later tonight, but I haven't even eaten today and must ASAP!

[ZinZen]

25. Is that a bus driver costume he picked up?

What an idjit.

[Richard Steele]

30. LOL! Welcome to DU, ZinZen!

[titoresque]

28. LMAO!!!!!!! He looks like Captain

Stubing of "The Love Boat"

What a joke! Doesnt take much does it.......these sheeple will swallow anything!

[Guaranteed]

34. I'd call him "genetically challenged." nt

[salvorhardin]

33. I'm almost afraid to ask, but what did he do?

I remember him from WGY in Albany before he got hired by WABC in NYC.

He wasn't always right wing. In fact, he did a nice little, safe, cute afternoon drive show complete with funny voices in Albany. I met him a few times and he was quite a gracious and charming man. I was shocked a few years later when I heard his nationally syndicated show.

On edit: I remember it was the afternoon drive now. Don Weeks always did the morning drive.

[RoyGBiv]

39. He's the "We Don't Care" guy ...

Led a group of counter-protesters to Crawford who could think of nothing better to shout in protest of Cindy Sheehan than "We Don't Care!"

[salvorhardin]

42. Thanks!

Someone else just PMd me the skinny on Mike Gallagher's little stunt too.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/8/12/153432/754

I don't know if he's just one of those talk radio sellouts willing to play whatever role will bring them the most money or if he actually believes this crap now. I had no idea he wrote a "Liberals have runied America" book either. It's quite the change from when he was in Albany.

[Richard Steele]

43. And here's where they got their BRILLIANT catchphrase:

On his show, he promoted a letter written by a
WORLD REKNOWNED AUTHORITY on geopilitiks:

QUOTE:
"The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster
of Pamela Foster and Associates in Atlanta.
She's been in business since 1980
doing interior design and home planning."

Obviously, her credentials are beyond reproach!(my comment)

Her "letter":
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.

I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, that assured that I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and -- you guessed it -- I don't care!" -

There are so many errors of logic and BASIC FACTS in that letter,
that correcting them is obviously POINTLESS.
The Author clearly displays a disconnect from REALITY.
A deliberate, intentional disconnect.

[Fly by night]

37. Does anyone know this guy's real name?

If he's Irish, Andy Stephenson was an Eskimo.

[RoyGBiv]

38. I swear, it's this guy ...

[katinmn]

40. Leader of the Rent-A-Mob? You gotta be kidding me!

:rofl:

From here on out these people are on self destruct mode.

All we need to do is continue to show solidarity with Cindy. It's driving them bonkers and they look like total fools.

[GreenPartyVoter]

41. Video footage.. I want footage of those chants!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

44. Wow dude looks even dorkier than he sounds on the radio.

[DistressedAmerican]

47. I Ask You To Look Again At This Repugnant Grotesque Caricature!

While I am somewhat inclined to let this disgusting affront speak for itself. It so enfuriated me upon really looking at it that , I think I'll have a go at it after all.

For starters what the fuck is up with the stripes Mike? One for each inch of penis you wish you had? Talk about your overcompensation.

Second, the Salvation army should show up on your doorstep and refuse to leave unless you burned the uniform and turned yourself for a good solid beating. Even they should get a crack at you. We're just getting to the real Army.

Third, what the hell did you earn ALL those medals for asshat? You have never done a single thing of worth note in your miserable chickenhawk existence. John Kerry or maybe John McCaine should shove those things right up your arrogant smug ass!

Fourth, we have the three stars. That makes you a three star what? A three stars asshole is what. We'll find a spot to shove those later...

Fifth, that expression! What the hell mike? Fire your publicist for christ sake! He or she does not have a lot to work with I admit. But damn Mike, that expression makes Gomer pyle look presidential. Well to be fair so does your farcical commander in chief.

I'll just pass on the hat.

But, HOW DARE YOU use the glow photoshop filter? I use that pretty much exclusively in religious contexts or more poignantly in contexts where I would like to show respect. Like this glow I used for a brave soldier that you so crassly chanted You Don't Care" about.

Mike, you make me physically sick to my stomach! You better hope we never meet in the streets...

[Richard Steele]

48. QUOTE: "that expression makes Gomer pyle look presidential"

ROFL!
At least Gomer's biggest fault was HONESTY!

But even this ASSHAT's troop-insulting self-promotion
can't make a Spoiled Fratboy from Connecticut
(who poses as a Texas cowboy) look any better at all!

He is the PERFECT posterboy;
the true FACE of the Chickenhawk ShrubWorshippers!

[dxstone]

52. Hoo-hooo!!!

Quote:
"Second, the Salvation army should show up on your doorstep and refuse to leave unless you burned the uniform and turned yourself for a good solid beating. Even they should get a crack at you. We're just getting to the real Army."
LOL! Even the Salvation Army! Love it, mon!
And what IS with that glow filter? What is he, The Ghost OF Mr. Chicken? (Another old Don Knotts reference, but this one REALLY pretty arcane...)
Wow... they don't care. What a stirring, moving, eloquent response to the anger and grief of those who've lost loved ones to pathetic speech-impeded chickenshit President Asshat's evil bogus bullshit war.
We are truly up against some lost little children here, folks... if it wasn't for the fact that they're driving monster trucks, I'd find the whole thing just TOO fucking amusing...
Man, we gotta get our asses out there fast!... it can't be soon enough for me.

[dxstone]

51. And ANOTHER thing...

What's he doing, leaning on a lamppost there?
What a shameless whore!
Officer, arrest that WHORE for impersonating a man AND an officer!
d
ps: Well done, Dick!
"We have seen the face of the enemy, and it is HILARIOUS!"

[johnfunk]

54. An (Ersatz) Officer and a Man-whore....

Why...

that sounds like...

could it be?...

Yes!...

JEFF GANNON!

[DistressedAmerican]

65. Shameless Whore Indeed! And Stupid Fuck to boot!

I have to say I am a little surprised at how angry that shot really does make me. Looking at that smug bastard makes me wanna reach out and touch him. HARD!

Thank God such a pig has chosen to make himself a big part of the Anti-Cindy crowd. Nothing could better assure her and their success like an asshole like this!

[immoderate]

58. An insult to door men everywhere!

--IMM

[gardenista]

60. OMG, that's Mickie, my doorman! I'm not kidding! Mickie, what are

you doing that for?

[Toots]

66. Where is his little "purple heart bandaid" and look at that chest full of

medals. He must be a real hero. Probably zapped Mario Bros a few thousand times.

[Hubert Flottz]

72. Let's keep this kicked up for the AWOL Freepers in uniform...

Even if it ain't real!



They Don't Care!

[Spiffarino]

73. What a tiny, tiny little man

I saw him screeching on MSNBC the other day. He's Wally George with half the intellect and twice the self-adoration.

He needs a righteous ass-kicking. Immediately.

[Saphire]

77. Why is he wearing Col. Klinks uniform???

[w8liftinglady]

78. If anyone is bored-his sponsors

at radio station KRLD-it ould be cool if DU could send a few hundred e-mails to them...especially the local car dealers,who are HURTING!
