Post 3000!!! o'rielly and the S.S. "victims" of US Soldiers!

Edited on Mon Jun-05-06 10:44 PM by MarianJack

After nearly 3 years on DU, I am finally at 3000 posts. In the last couple of weeks, I've been posting infrequently because I've always wanted these "landmark" posts to be special, at least to me (since my threads usually sink to the bottom faster than jenna bush's panties at a college frat cocaine party!).

There have been so many outrages by this mis- administration and their media ass-kissers lately that it's been difficult to choose. Additionally, there are other du'ers whose words about some of these things have been so perfect, I certainly couldn't improve upon them. Until NOW!

But now, at long last, the right wing loons who keep their jobs as CBS fires on & off camera staff for telling a true story have, again, crossed a line of obscenity that I couldn't imagine even after watching them glorify every step of this administration's and vilify every critic since this asshole was appointed in 2000.

As the son and nephew of World War 2 vets, my blood is boiling beyond measure at that fuck faced rat bastard cock sucking piece of elephant shit o'reilley for daring to bastardize the history (no, not bastardize, just fucking LIE ]) about the murder of american soldiers by the S.S. in the waning days of the war.

At last, they try to make victims of, not only nazis, but FUCKING S.S. (!) to carry water for a criminal administration trying to cover it's ass from awareness of their criminal actions.

I won't make some of the vets in my family better people than they are, but my father, his brother, my mother's brother and brother-in-law were combat veterans of the second world war. My father (who, in later life, was one of the truest bastards who walked the earth) flew 25 bombing missions as a bombardier over Germany. His brother had the same job in the Pacific. My Uncle was the top sergeant in his outfit that landed at Normandy (almost 50 years later, other men in his neighborhood still called him "TOP"). My other uncle, my mom's brother-in-law, was on one of the ships that shelled the beach at Normandy. All 4 of these men were in heavy action against a truly EVIL enemy. By some miracle, none of them even got a scratch. My uncle lost his ear protection before the shelling started and he knew that he WOULD NOT tel his commander that he had to sit out the biggest invasion in modern world history! All of them saw friends die. My father looked from th nose of his plane to his friend's and saw his best friend die when his bomber took a direct hit. My mother's cousin's husband was one of the men who never made the beach at Normandy.

The stories of my relatives are no more or less outstanding than any of the tens of thousands of other families except for te remarkable LACK of injury to my parents' immediate families. But they were there when it was their turn, unlike any of this administration or it's far right apologists in the media. HOW DARE o'rielly make men such as my relatives villains while making victims of some of the most vile people in human history? And all to carry water for the worst president in American History!

I would end this by paraphrasing Joseph Walsh and asking o'rielley "Finally sir, have you no decency?", but I already know the answer to that question.

I will, instead, finish with a line of the great James Whitmore from "The Majestic" (BTW, a VERY underrated movie). Close to the end, he and the other townspeople are listening to Jim Carrey testify before the HUAC. Carrey says that this was not what the soldiers in World War 2 fought for.

On this day, when here in Maine we flew our flags at half mast in honor of the passing of the last full-time Maine resident who won the Congressional Medal of Honor in World War 2, I will say to the men in my family and all other WW2 vets...

..."You deserve better. You ALL deserve better than this!"

PEACE!
