SMACKDOWN BAGHDAD!

by A-Train Sunday, Dec. 21, 2003 at 6:44 PM

World Wrestling Entertainment star Don Marie (top photo) signs an autograph for a U.S. occupation soldier after a wrestling performance by wrestlers who flew to Iraq to entertain the invading troops at Baghdad International Airport, Saturday Dec. 20 2003. Ms. Marie's appearance and style of dress will be setting the pace for the new "liberated" Iraqi woman! Yes that's correct ladies and gentlemen... THIS is what the war was all about! Soon, the poor oppressed masses of Iraq will be watching SMACKDOWN! U.S. occupation troops... as dumb and infantile as the home audience for wrestling... cheer, laugh and wave for their favorite lunk head wrestlers. (AP Photos/Muhammed Muheisen)

SMACKDOWN BAGHDAD!...

"cheer, laugh and wave for their favorite lunk head wrestlers."

As goofy as wrestling is it certainly beats rooting for their favorite fascist mullah or blowing themselves up in the middle of a crowd.

Who do you think are dumber?

by Adult Supervisor Monday, Dec. 22, 2003 at 12:06 AM

Here's a quiz with an easy and obvious answer.

Who do you think are dumber?

1. Professional wrestling fans, or

2. Anti war, anti-DP, and anti globalization activists who march in protests

If you answered #2, congratulations. You have at least half a brain.

Wrestling fans are not the foremost intellectual group on planet Earth. However, they are relatively brilliant when compared to the street rabble mobs that march around with dumb signs.

At least pro wrestling fans aren't trying to demand that the rest of us believe in their fantasy as well.

Unlike the all but fascist left.

Whi ch is dumber??

by Jeeves Monday, Dec. 22, 2003 at 1:46 AM

Professional wrestling fans or standing in front of a bulldozer and dying a pathetic death on behalf of a bunch of terorists who cheered when 9/11 happened?

DUMB AS A BRICK

by peachface Monday, Dec. 22, 2003 at 4:30 AM

Which is dumber... anti-war Americans who don't want their children caught in the quicksand of an Arabian Vietnam, or right-wing armchair Rambos who sit on the sidelines and cheer on the soldiers they don't have the guts to be?!

Which is dumber... anti-war Americans who hang their heads in shame at the way their fellow citizens gobble up government lies justifying a war that should never have been, or neo-con jingoistic zealots who think we're making friends in Iraq and the region by bringing "democracy" to the Arab world on the point of a bayonet?!

Which is dumber... right wing blow hards who swallowed all the lies about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or the pathetic neo-fascists who STILL insist that there ARE weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?!

Which is dumber... the rightist mental sloths who thought arming Saddam with chemical weapons was a good thing because he was fighting Iran, or the dumbell right-wingers who still don't know those facts?!

I'll answer all of them at once. After 9-11 and decades of attacks on us from the cesspool of islam and the arab world, anyone who isn't in full support of finally striking back HARD is not only stupid but tratorous.

And by the way. Our army is a VOLUNTEER army. So you're simple minded "those right wingers who don't have the guts to fight" gibberish is nonsense. Most of our soldiers joined because they wanted to fight for this country. Perhaps you should enlist with the Iraqi subhuman brigade.

Yo, peachfuzz:

by kljjtytr Monday, Dec. 22, 2003 at 12:57 PM

And what exactly have YOU done to support your beliefs?

Chanted? Held signs? Sang songs? Blocked traffic (Note: Those honks were to tell you to get your sorry butt out of the street, NOT in support)?

Oooh. I guess that trumps my almost-13 years of service in the military.

Say, did you get wounded in action? Get a splinter from your "No Blood For Oil!" sign handle? Maybe a sore throat from yelling "Bush is Hitler!" too loudly? A case of the clap from banging some hippie chick with a nose ring at the apres-protest bash?

I bow to your noble self-sacrifice. You should get a medal.

Our troops have zero appreciation for you anti-war protesters - zero!

As a matter of fact they look down on you, along with most Americans.

Narcissist Abuse

by johnk Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2003 at 10:23 AM

I found this good page explaining narcissism, and abusive behavior. I think it's good reading for some of you who insist on fighting here to get attention.
