to those cheering the Fox reporter beatings
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
If you are among those cheering this put me on ignore now because you won't like what I have to say.
HOW DARE ANYONE cheer the beating of a reporter.I don't give ONE SHIT who they are reporting for..don't EVER cheer the beating of a reporter.
I'm ASHAMED to call myself a member of this board tonight.
If it was KO over there that got beat and the FReepers were making fun of it we would be screaming bloody murder over it.How are we any better?
I swear i am about ready to delete this site.It's becoming WORSE than FR.
How about we take a step back and get back to what this site is supposed to be about..advancing progressive ideas ...instead of this crap

6. My eighteen year old son just cheered when I read the headline out loud... I educated him
on that head ASAP. Not sure if it took hold in his brain or if it went in one ear and out the other.
I don't cheer the beating of anyone, no matter how much I dislike him or her. I don't cheer the attempted or actual suppression of the press either.

8. agreed, but i suspect it is a minority
but it is to be expected that passions are inflamed considering all that that 'news' channel has inflicted on our nation during their short tenure. e.g. hate, ignorance, and even murder.

50. The majority will agree with you, but I'm looking at this...
"I swear I am about ready to delete this site. It's becoming WORSE than FR."
Really? ****ing really? Hyperbole is hyperbolic. How about you take a step back and realize that that statement detracts from your otherwise good post?

83. Spare us your moral outrage...
Some people are being way too hypersensitive, and are making unwarranted assumptions and accusations about some of the users here. Then again, what else can you expect from the center-left? *cough*Jon Stewart*cough* Posting snarky comments about the propaganda outlet known as Fox News is not the same as condoning violence towards innocent reporters who are out in the field trying to do their job. This thread is very disingenuous and misleading. Here are some of the comments that where actually posted there:
sofa king: I am sorry to hear it.
Fox News is a crap propaganda organ unworthy of the word "news," but the people who risk their lives to document this event are not deserving of scorn... or beatings.
W T F: I agree no journalist deserves to be beaten.....
My argument is that Fox News reporters are not journalist. and I'm not saying that they deserve to be beaten even if they aren't. Someone here assumed that I Implied that, and I didn't. Do I make myself clear?
Primavera: Employees of a foreign corporation
... that dedicates itself to spreading propaganda prejudicial to their interests.
Before you jump down my throat, I'm not advocating violence against Faux News propagandists. But clearly their assailants perceived that these guys were not objective, impartial journalists there to observe and report, nor is it unreasonable that they should believe as much. It therefore does not follow that a blanket ban on violence towards journalists would hinder them from attacking Faux News propagandists.

Wonder where they could get that idea, ****stick? All they have to do is visit you pukes, or KOS, or MoveON and they would think FOX was there to arm Mubarik!
Everyone of you assholes swear you never watch FOX, yet you call them lying Right Wing Fanatics! If they are lying, and don't report the truth, how about you list the lies, DUmbass?
You can't because they don't! Just because they don't bow to Der Leader, you call them out. When Hitlery did the same damn thing with Bush, you sheep praised her for doing it!
Name one Damn lie! One! You pussies can't win an argument, so you stick your fingers in your ears and alternate them between your ass, mouth, then repeat! You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you in the ass!
If they lie, then post it! If you can't, then I hold assholes like you responsible for any bodily harm your slander has caused anyone brave enough to enter into a ****in' cluster **** like this one to televise it!
You cowardly cocksuckers would go no where near this place, all the while hopin' for the same kind of violence here! If you armchair warriors were to so much as get a paper cut you would fall down cryin' for your mommy! You won't go out into the streets because we would kick your ass all the way to Venezuela, where you belong!
Put your money where your mouth is, SofaCrotchKing! Let's see how "bad" you really are!

168. Reporters? No, not beaten. Propagandists? We need to do worse to them.
I'm not sure which one this guy is, cause frankly I don't watch that sorry excuse for a news channel. He could be a legit reporter...if he is, I am in complete agreement with you.
But if he was a propagandist, skewing the truth for corporate masters...then **** him. This is why Americans will never riot, or revolt, or change anything in their damn country. They ****ing sympathize with the enemy and will risk life and limb to stop REAL truth and justice in exchange for being led by their rich bosses against their best interest.
Goebbels should have been hanging from a street lamp by his entrails. As should propagandists who use our radio space to spread their anti-human, pro business lies.

Liberals & tolerance go together as well as onions & ice cream.

So, if I don't consider members of DU to be of the human race, can I beat them senseless?

It's not the original, but you get the point.

I'll never forget their post 9/11 hate-fest for Barbara Olson. I had a DU character back then but reading their vile comments about someone who died in an attack on the United States was too much for me and I stopped even going there until some time later when PJ and one other Freeper started humor posts based on DU.

If only some concerned citizen had told the mob of young islamists that Anderson 'Vanderbilt' Cooper was a dick smoker. Tolerance would have broken out and appreciative muslims would have shown him their love.

Anderson is still somewhere in hiding in Egypt. I bet he doesn't last 10 seconds if somebody outs him.

I'm glad we have this documented. The lunacy of the left knows no bounds. :(
