3. sexist?

men can be attention whores too

[TheConstantGardener]

5. Like the poster who made the sexist attack?

:P

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Nope. No Sexist Attack. You're Misguided And Wrong In Your Accusation.

Sorry pal.

[TheConstantGardener]

As you are in your horrific slur of the Code Pink folks

But you've done so much for the cause, haven't you?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. What They Did Yesterday Was Completely Disgraceful In My Opinion.

You have your own opinion. Yay for you. But I'm still entitled to have mine. Get over it.

[TheConstantGardener]

25. THAT'S disgraceful and business as usual in Washington is clean and nice

I see appearance matters more than action to you. Figures.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

37. You See Things You Want To See, Though They Don't Even Exist.

I still have yet to say a goddamn thing about her appearance. Pay attention.

[WillyT]

That's A Good Question OMC, How Many Protests Have You Attended ???

Just curious.

:shrug:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

34. Don't Deflect. One Has Nothing To Do With The Other.

First of all, it's a ridiculous question because I could say zero, five, a hundred, thirty, and it still would either be questioned as to honesty or claimed not enough etc. So the question itself is utterly useless.

Furthermore, no matter how many things I have done or how many things they have done this isn't a thread about competition between people as to who has done more. The fact is, my comments were about her and others disgraceful interruptions yesterday during a monumentally important hearing. It is THOSE acts which are being discussed. They have nothing to do with any acts I have or haven't done.

The display yesterday was a disgrace.

[WillyT]

39. Hey... I Was Totally Willing To Believe Your Answer

How many have you been to?

[liberalnurse]

60. I have attended over 50......probably more.

I know you didn't ask but I felt compelled to enlighten you that vintage-veteran protesters find Mr. TuTU's actions irresponsible, narcissistic, and harmful to the cause we all have protested for regarding this White house Mob.

[liberalnurse]

58. Here here!!!!!!!!

I am removing my Code Pink car window signs tonight! They have no direction and are nothing but attention seeking losers. They cause harm.

[liberalnurse]

35. I agree....

you are cool. O8)

[liberalnurse]

54. and indeed...they are....

in pink tutu's too.

[karlrschneider]

64. Hope your apostrophe stocks do really well!

And, uh, what's "here here" ?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

8. ROFLMAO!!!!!!

Oh I love twisted melodramatic ignorant attacks like that.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Nothin sexist about attention whores. Both genders can be guilty of such. But an attention whore is an attention whore is an attention whore. Just callin it like I see it. Sorry bub.

[TheConstantGardener]

12. You've given the break CodePink folks enormously more attention

By making these horrific slanders and attacks against peopel who are actually willing to get off their ass and do something.

Great counterproductivity. Just like the people who "protested" passion of the christ, fahrenheit 9/11, da vinci code. Just gives them more credibility to see some fringe loonies going after them.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

22. Oh Please, Please Give Me More Melodrama! I'm Lovin It!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[TheConstantGardener]

30. Keep bumping the topic and hurting your own cause

It's really a weak way to help your agenda!

17. Wow, I don't spend as much time on the internet?

So my credibility is broken? I've been an activist with Georgia Dems for a long while, while some OTHER people fight eachother on the internet over someone's inappropriate clothing (FreeRepublic meets Janet Jackson nipple slip?).

[SlowDownFast]

36. Well, that and you just joined day before yesterday....

[TahitiNut]

27. (cough)

Do not draw negative attention to the fact that someone is new, has a low post count, or recently became a member of Democratic Underground. Do not insinuate that because someone is new, they are a troll or disruptor.

[Labors of Hercules]

57. Thank you for that...

I was starting to get steamed... :grr:

[Ian David]

24. Someone on my ignore list made a funny? n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

29. Ya Know, Ian, For Someone I've Never Talked To Yet Who Supposedly Has Me On Ignore Anyway,

you certainly spend a lot of time paying attention to me. I find it immensely hilarious.

[TahitiNut]

59. Personally, I'd find DU awfully boring ...

... if I had over 140 people on 'Ignore.' :rofl:
I guess 'boring' for one person is 'intellectual overstimulation' for another. :shrug:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

62. ROFL! That's Right! I Totally Forgot About That!

:rofl:

I just get a kick out of it cause I've like barely ever spoken to him, but all of a sudden a few weeks back he says he has me on ignore but then has posted like 10 times since things like "Ohhhhh, is THAT that poster I have on ignore?" LOL

I just laugh that for someone I've never paid attention to who supposedly has me on ignore, they certainly like paying attention to me. But I totally forgot about that block list back when they had it. Too funny!

[mudesi]

10. I wonder why you insult her based on her appearance

She seems to have the same anti war ideals we all have. She said (and I paraphrase) that she thinks the only reason people join the military are because they don't have many other options. She promoted health care and education and she called for the impeachment of Bush.

But because she was formerly a he and because she wears funny pink things, you discredit her.

[TheConstantGardener]

16. He's shallow and narrowminded?

That's why I saw shades of FreeRepublic in his tone.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

26. Not A Good Sign As To Your Intellectual Capacity If You Accuse Others Of Being Freepers

merely because they have an opinion you don't like. It's one of the most pathetic and weak forms of debate one can put forth. Makes you look extremely silly.

46. Yes! I'm A Freeper Cause I Think What They Did Yesterday Was Disgraceful! Yes Oh Genius One!

So are the other MAJORITY of people watching yesterday who found it disgusting that they did such things.

You are right oh wise one! We are all freepers! You've NAILED it! Oh how we all should bow down to your amazing power of logical deduction!

What a tool. :rofl:

[TheConstantGardener]

51. What you're doing now as keyboard warrior...

That's not very helpful.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

55. At Least It's Not Hurting, Like They Did Yesterday. I'll Take Neutral Over Negative Anyday Pal.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. What The Fuck Are You Talking About? I Didn't Say ANY Of What You Just

attributed. No idea what the fuck you're talking about.

I said nothing about appearance.

I said nothing about her being a he.

I said nothing about her wearing pink things.

What my premise DOES put forth is that she ignorantly, narrow-mindedly and selfishly interrupted and distracted a very important hearing on the Plame situation. What she did was completely stupid and an act of an ignorant attention whore. It was completely disgraceful.

But I have no idea where the fuck you got your accusations from. I've said no such things and don't know what you were thinkin.

[TheConstantGardener]

23. You're getting really angry

And continually bumping the post as you do -- making CODEPINK and their antics more publicized and more adored here.

Keep up the good work man and I don't even have to do anything!

32. Don't try bullshit with me

I've been lurking here for a long time and I know your M.O.

You implied all of those things with your post and many of your other posts on her. Then you turn around and say "But I didn't actually say those things!"

You do this consistently and superbly on any number of subjects to get as many replies as possible in a given thread.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

47. Actually You're 100% Wrong And Don't Know Shit. I Implied No Such Things Whatsoever Nor Would I.

It is about the fact that she selfishly, ignorantly, narrow-mindedly and idiotically chose the hearing to stage such protest, as did a few others. Their acts were a disgrace and a sign of severe misguidedness.

You seem to have a problem accepting that some people think for themselves and have different opinions on things than you do. Seems you then get all flustered and throw false attack and interpretation their way because you are incapable of actually discussing intellectually. Sorry to see that, but that's still you're problem pal, not mine.

[Drum]

19. I didn't read OMC's post that way.

:shrug:

[TheConstantGardener]

28. I just saw him insult someone who stood up strongly for their beliefs

Who has been repeteadly arrested for it. He called them "attention whore"; I prefer that over "useless keyboard warriors" any day!

[Drum]

43. No, sorry...

you can imply all of the subtext that you want, but that's not what was in OMC's post. You are putting words in others' mouths....
:(

If you'd like to debate the CodePink issue further, there are many big threads from earlier today, elsewhere on DU.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

50. In Terms Of Yesterday That's What It Was. Yesterday Was Neither The Time Nor The Place For Such Acts

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

56. Thanks. I Was A Bit Perplexed By It Myself.

[Drum]

61. It's like they're some weird kind of tag-team act....

and the OPer never did get around to updating on what happened on the CNN spot we were being alerted to.

:eyes:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

63. To Be Honest,

I've been gettin ganged up on a lot lately and tend to think there's a 'go get OMC!' behind the scenes campaign goin on LOL. (I laugh, but I actually think there is hehe).

Thing is though, I can't say I don't deserve it to a degree since my blunt honesty does wrong some the wrong way. But it's the childishness and lack of intellect in their challenges that I find sad. If you're going to challenge my premise at least do so with honor and not brainless gradeschool personal attack ya know? Ahhhh, what can ya do. I don't mind 'em. :)

[Hissyspit]

20. Um. I guess since people have been ATTACKING her...

she wants to defend herself.

And maybe bring up some anti-war issues.

Imagine that.

[Cha]

66. Look who's calling who

boring! Yeah, attention to the bushit lies..that should interest every freakin' person on this board, except you, of course.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

67. Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Period.

Their cause has honor. But that doesn't give them carte blanche to show up anywhere and anytime to call attention to their cause while expecting everyone to worship them for it. Sometimes they're great. Other times not so much. Yesterday? Not so much. I found it to be amazingly disrespectful, misguided, ignorant and disgraceful.

[keroro gunsou]

4. forgive my igorance....

but who is this code pink person of which you speak?

[Cooley Hurd]

9. MIdge Potts - a member of Code Pink who was at the Plame hearing...

...yesterday.

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Midge looked scared... or something...

At least "Taser" Sanchez was kind to her...

[Scurrilous]

7. Thanks for the heads up.

:thumbsup:

[Clark2008]

13. I miss Keith Moon.

:(

[SlowDownFast]

45. LOL!

Me too.

:yourock:

[Scurrilous]

52. Yep...

...gone but not forgotten.

[AndyA]

14. I'm glad to see anyone who's anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-fascism get press coverage.

I don't care if they're from Code Pink or elsewhere.

As long as the word is getting out, that's all that matters.

[Raven]

31. Listen, we had the absolutely best, most eloquent,

most intelligent anti-Bush person before that Committee yesterday and all the Code Pink person did was to distract from what she was trying to tell the American people. No damn excuse for that.

[TheConstantGardener]

33. We had Noam Chomsky at the committee yesterday?

Damn his testimony must have been short.

[mudesi]

38. The MEDIA is using her to distract

There is no excuse for the media to focus on her instead of Plame. Why don't we put the distraction blame where it truly belongs?

[Raven]

44. A good bit of it belongs with CP, why

hand the media a distraction like that? We know that's just what they'll run with. How stupid!

[TheConstantGardener]

49. IMPEACH BUSH

THATS a great distraction. Especially after the hearings i think its obvious to all thats the right course.

[Rhiannon12866]

53. You're right, the media is the one focusing on this story,

And so America will be. But the MSM is big on distractions, so why should this be any different?:-(

[AndyA]

40. Perhaps it was a distraction, but trust me: the message was received.

America got it yesterday. ;)

[Raven]

48. I agree, it was a message hard to miss even with

a little sideshow!

[MazeRat7]

65. Can't help but think about that Zappa tune... PO JAMA PEOPLE -nt

[Cooley Hurd]

68. *munch*

:popcorn:

Midge was on for 3 minutes, but this thread goes on and on and on...:D

[LaurenG]

69. Locking

I think we need a fire hose or two here. This is a flame fest now.
