Hey DD,

You can pick any one of Nick's threads. I'll dump it immediately.

Make sure it has something to do with Iraq though.

Sheehan, Chavez join to bash Bush, Iraq war

CARACAS, Venezuela - Cindy Sheehan, who gained international fame when she camped outside President Bush’s ranch in an anti-war protest, plans to pitch her tent again, Venezuela’s president said Sunday as he urged activists worldwide to help bring down “the U.S. empire.”

Hugo Chavez, an arm around Sheehan’s shoulders, told a group of activists that she had told him “she is going to put up her tent again in front of Mr. Danger’s ranch” in April.

In some of his strongest recent comments aimed at Washington, Chavez condemned the Bush administration and said his audience should work toward ending U.S. dominance.

“Enough already with the imperialist aggression!” Chavez said, listing countries from Panama to Iraq where the U.S. military has intervened. “Down with the U.S. empire! It must be said, in the entire world: Down with the empire!”

Chavez said Sheehan had invited him to join her April protest at Bush’s Crawford, Texas, ranch. Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, held a vigil outside Bush’s ranch during the president’s vacation in August, attracting some 12,000 peace activists and reinvigorating the national anti-war movement.

“Maybe I’ll put up my tent also,” Chavez said, to applause from an audience invited to his weekly broadcast on the final day of the World Social Forum, an annual gathering of anti-war and anti-globalization activists.

Chavez said his government would help protest the war in Iraq by supporting a drive to gather petitions and delivering them to the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. Chavez, who before the war in Iraq had friendly relations with Saddam Hussein, has been a frequent and strident critic of the war.

Sheehan thanked Chavez for “supporting life and peace.” She said earlier that she was impressed by his sincerity when they met privately on Saturday.

“He said, ’Why don’t I run for president?”’ she said. “I just laughed.”

Sheehan also noted that singer and activist Harry Belafonte recently called Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world,” and said, “I agree with him. George Bush is responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent people.”

Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., said Saturday that she is strongly considering challenging Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California because the lawmaker will not support calls to immediately bring the troops home.

Sheehan, 48, who was visiting Venezuela for the six-day forum, said running in the Democratic primary in June would help “bring attention to all the peace candidates in the country.” She said she will decide whether to run after talking with her three adult children in California.

Feinstein’s campaign manager, Kam Kuwata, said the senator did not support Bush and felt she had been misled by his administration. But with troops committed, Feinstein believes immediate withdrawal is unworkable, he said.

“Senator Feinstein’s position is, ’Let’s work toward quickly turning over the defense of Iraq to Iraqis so that we can bring the troops home as soon as possible,”’ Kuwata said in an interview Saturday.

Also joining Chavez on Sunday was Elma Beatriz Rosado, the widow of slain Puerto Rican nationalist Filiberto Ojeda Rios. Holding back tears as she stood at Chavez’s side, Rosado accused the United States of killing her husband, a 72-year-old militant independence activist.

Rios was slain in a September FBI raid on a Puerto Rican farmhouse where he was living in hiding while being wanted for the 1983 robbery of $7.2 million from a Wells Fargo armored truck depot in Connecticut — funds intended for the independence cause.

“They murdered him,” Chavez said. “Viva Filiberto!... Let’s follow his example.”

You've had a tea kettle wedged in your ass all morning.

DD would be a good mod here, methinks.

He wouldn't let his hatred for other posters fuel his mod decisions.

[Nickdfresh]

Unless it's FORD...

He can have my job if he wants it...

I'd love to see that shoe on the other foot...

[diamondD]

Remember, Nick doesn't start personal attacks. Never.

But he sure likes to throw out words like hypocrite and pot kettle black constantly.


Have fun on your internet power trip Nick!

[diamondD]

I don't want to be a mod ever again. Been there, done that. Don't even suggest me.

[Guitar Shark]

Nick, come on man. Don't make it personal...

FORD knows I'm fucking with him and that at the end of the day we could go have a beer and laugh about it.

Oh yeah DD. You really showed me! Don't forget to do petty bullshit like omit dates on three month old news articles in order to freshly stir shit that's been beaten to death, then to call out FORD every minute...

Yeah, I'm sure it was just an oversight poopy-kins...

You want my job. You've got it! Go ahead, see how you do with the 'power.' After all, you were reared on the finest site of all.

[diamondD]

Can you read? I DON"T WANT A MOD JOB.

[diamondD]

Plus I didn't omit shit. It wasn't in the part I copied.

I'm not the one that made it 'personal.'

I didn't restart a thread on the same topic that's already been overdone about four times now...

You guys are the ones being disrespectful, not me...

Especially the Mod-master general WARHAM, offering to second guess in public. Golly, I've never seen that before, even as contentious things got between FORD and ELVIS...

[Warham]

Remember to make sure dates are on every article you post, everybody.

I'm going to compile a definative list of Nick Rules for all of us to follow. Here's just a few for your pleasure:

1. If you did not serve in the military, you cannot have a valid opinion on Iraq.

2. If you don't put a date on every article you post, Nick will throw a tantrum.

3. Make sure to use credible sources to back up your opinions. New York and Los Angeles Times articles only, please.

4. Don't post anything that's similar to anyone else's article, even if it's just a few words that are used in both. It will be dumped immediately, after Nick has judged it's merits.

more to follow...
