The Face of Hate

by James T Tuesday, Apr. 27, 2004 at 3:06 PM

Pat Tillman as described on Portland IMC's hate filled web site.

The Portland, Ore., branch of the Independent Media Center--one of the most virulent Angry Left Web sites around--has a page devoted to the death in combat last week of Pat Tillman, the pro football player turned Army Ranger who died in combat in Afghanistan last week.

This is offensive stuff, so you might want to skip it, but we think it's worth shining a light on. The page begins with a Washington Post story about Tillman's death under the headline (Indymedia's, not the Post's) "Dumb Jock Killed in Afghanistan." This is followed by reader comments. A sampling (quoted verbatim except for expletives):

* "Tillman chose to go to Afghanistan. He's partially reponsible for the deaths of hundreds, maybe thousands of Afghan civilians. No need to feel sorry for him, other than feeling bad that he was brainwashed into serving as a grunt."



* "it's amazing the kind of attention this insignificant incident is going to cause. well, he was rich, white, and an american. 10,000 (brown) iraqis get killed, and it barely merits a mention in the american news. how utterly f---ing sad."



* "To be honest I wish I could feel sorry for the guy, but the truth is I really feel nothing at all. To many have died and too much money has flowed into the pockets of Dick Cheney to even worry about it."



* "if he 'sacrificed' anything it was his common sense. He had a good American thing going and blew it."



In fairness, not all posters agree. "I'd like to correct the ridiculous headline that preceeds this story," writes one: "Brave American sacrifices friends, family and fortune in defense of his country. Pigs on IndyMedia can now continue to exercise free speech, sacrifice nothing and spew hate."

My God what a tattle tail.

Boo Hoo Portland has an operational editorial policy any doesn't let the Zionists, Nazis and fools dominate the wire.

Like they do here.

Dry your eyes Poinedexter, and stay off the damn page if you don't like it.

What a load of crap

Those people honestly make my sick to my stomach, I'd love to see the family and friends of Tillman have a run in with the editors.

As for the other idiot who made a comment, get off your high horse jackass. Thats not news, thats biased mud slinging at a true american hero, as far as I'm concerned you can go fuck yourself.

"Fuck you, you white faggot. I'll fuck you up the ass, white boy. I'll fuck you till you love me. I'll eat your children."

"My motivation for approaching seer was to stage a face off which I was told both camps had agreed to. It was seer's bodyguard who panicked and shoved me. Seer then threw a right. I was here to promote a fight, not be intimidated. I will never be intimidated by anyone, and Seer the Queer will pay in Novermber."

sounds to me as if you have a bit of a fetish. Get some Crisco or other lube and work on it. Har.

BTW, if I ever did meet you f2f I'd hand you your head ater I knocked your dick in the dirt. I'm big, fast and have practiced martial arts for over 15 years. But I'm a humble guy. So fuck off mighty mouth.

I fight like a girl

by Boston Anarchist in hiding Thursday, Apr. 29, 2004 at 6:29 PM

I fight like a girl ever since I fell out of a tree and damaged my testicles.

Now when the going gets tough I run away from home and hide.

I sound like a girl because my testicles never descended.
