onight at 7 PM on KPFA 94.1 FM: The Nakba or the catastrophe of 1948, the 57th anniversary

Join Malihe and Khalil for this week's “Voices of the Middle East and North Africa” special marathon program, commemorating the 57th anniversary of the Nakba or the catastrophe of 1948 which resulted in expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians from Historic Palestine, massacres of civilians, and the razing to the ground of hundreds of Palestinian villages.

Aloha nakba.

I'd like him some strong initial attention.

Fortunately, September 11 2001 provided an almost limitless supply of these banners

Fortunately? Fortunately?
I can't take it any more. Let there be a quick civil 'police action'

now can he do the same but switch the flag with a koran

Why is it so "in-vogue" for American academia and press to hate Amercia. I just don't get it.

My goal was to attract strong initial attention from the visual effect of the lettered flag, but then to act as a challenge by having the slogans be slightly ambiguous and more than slightly provocative, forcing viewers (protester and protested alike) to pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed.

Uh-huh, riiight. It seems the main thing they teach in art school is how to spew drivel like this - they certainly don't teach anything like artistic technique.

Somebody please burn those flags and give them a decent retirement.

And then hunt down those responsible and retire them.

Liberals are traitors!

I'd have been impressed if the "artist" had used say the Saudi flag for his "artwork"... or pages of the Koran to express his opinions. Now THAT would take guts.

Desecrating the American flag, using Christian symbols in some sort of desecratory "art"... that's soooo 90's. *yawn*

-TS

I know Art.

Art is a nice guy.

A lot of people take his name in vain, however.

#1 goethe girl

These folks don't deserve to live in a free country.

They're idiots, but it is a free country. That's why it's so great, idiots like these don't get executed.

Art students have been doing "the flag desecration" art for at least the last 30 years and what it suggests to me is they lack imagination and talent.

It certainly isn't an original concept just because they come up with a new format.

I hold the schools as responsible because most art work is juried and selected by a committee.

The artist is free to do whatever art they want but the schools are free to have standards and criteria for what gets exhibited.

Shall we riot in the streets now, or is that privelige reserved for the [bigoted word]s?

UKB Cherokee Indians Statement on Ward Churchill

The United Keetoowah Band would like to make it clear that Mr. Churchill IS NOT a member of the Keetoowah Band and was only given an honorary 'associate membership' in the early 1990's because he could not prove any Cherokee ancestry. However, the associate rolls were discontinued shortly after Churchill received one: "Effective immediately, the UKB ceases to grant and/or recognize any/all future UKB Associate Memberships" - United Keetoowah Band Membership Amendment, 94-UKB-12A, July 9, 1994.

Any records of past affiliations with the UKB are non-existent, and Churchill does not appear anywhere on our membership rolls.

Mr. Churchill was never able to prove his eligibility in accordance with our membership laws, but was to be honored because of his promise to write our history, and his pledge to help and honor the UKB. To date, Churchill has done nothing in regards to his promise and pledge.

Mr. Churchill mocks the basic fundamental principles of Tribal Sovereignty when he consistently refers to enrollment as a "pedigree" and compares enrollment to "dogs" and "Nazi policies." Additionally, his rhetoric did not prevent him from approaching the UKB and seek a so-called "dog pedigree."

The UKB is concerned that non-Indians, as well as many young impressionable Native Americans may take Churchill's assertions at face value. We hope to set the record straight regarding this individual. The United Keetoowah Band has no association with Churchill in any capacity whatsoever and considers his comments offensive. His remarks in no way reflect the true compassion for the victims of the World Trade Center and their families that is felt by the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians.

Well, let's act like the ROP (spit) and burn down the fucking building.

Can I question the artist's patriotism now? We're at war and they're advocating the enemy for President. This goes way beyond just disagreeing with the war. It's sick.

I haven't noticed Americans rampaging through the streets killing and burning in response to this desecration of the flag.
[Link: www.doctor-horsefeathers.com...]

forcing viewers (protester and protested alike) to pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed.

Um, if they don't already know that, aren't they incredibly stupid?

Or, is it just this artist?

Since when does MIT offer art classes?

Leftists are sick sad losers.

now - because I'm so angry and since desecrating the flag is against the laws of my religion - I am off to murder and burn things.

Fortunately, September 11 2001 provided an almost limitless supply of these banners on every street corner,

It isn't bad enough that flag desecration is a used up format, but he had to steal the materials too? This is what happens when your parents coo coo too much about what a great artist you are because you traded in the fingerpaints for feces.

This is nothing more than a quick way, a lazy mans way to quick fame. The Andy Warhol approach, as it were. After all, if it's anti-American then it MUST be good art, don't have to think about it, don't ya know.

Check out just how blue MIT is.

What Can I say but

Liberals ARE Traitors

At the bottom of the page, there is this comments:

“Flags promote the common misconception that US citizens have the right to free speech.”

Huh?! If that twit desecrated Zarakawi's flag they'd saw-off his punkin' head with a dull bowie knife.

Hank Hill said it best, "that boy ain't right". Another public display of cranial-anal-inversion. That's not Art, it is a tantrum. Art is uplifting, and thought provoking, not treasonous and repellant.

#13 reaganite, still goethe girl is correct too. They don't deserve.

rabidfox-
At least Warhol picked up a brush.

Interesting "art" project, but his opinion which was in bold is quite offensive. Honestly, I'm not offended by what he did, since the intent wasn't to express an opinion but elicit one. It certainly does stop you in your tracks and take a moment to process the visual. (Quick, save me -- I think I may be drifting to the left.)

A flag of surrender seems more appropriate for this poseur.

He deserves to DYE!

White or yellow?

In case you missed the punch line, it’s “Flags are a one-way message of hatred.” And, in case you didn’t know, “Flags promote the common misconception that US citizens have the right to free speech.”

An amazingly confused bong-boy...

#26 Gagdad Bob

LOL!
The "artist" will probably take that as a compliment.

This "artist" needs to be flying a flag where the sun don't shine - and the colors ain't gonna be red, white and blue.

Yeah, I think I'm losing it. It IS pretty f*cked.

March - June, 1996

Phoenix, AZ: 'Old Glory: The American Flag in Contemporary Art, an exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum, featured the following art works:

the American flag stuffed in a toilet by Kate Millet; a headless crucifix with the American Flag in the background by Hans Burkhardt; an American Flag made out of human hair and skin by Andrew Krasnow; a man dressed in Ku Klux Klan garb holding a baby painted onto an American Flag by Ronnie Cutrone; an American Flag laid out on the floor in order for people to trample on it by Dread Scott; and an American Flag with a lighter on top with a description that reads, 'Now more fun than ever' by Erika Rothenberg. The exhibit sparked national controversy, including a demonstration by thousands demanding the exhibit's removal.

What's even more pathetic about liberals - is that their entire shtick is way past old. Nothing they do or say is clever - it's just tired and lame.

This is what passes for reasoned debate & logic in the bubble dwelling world of the academic leftist.

May I be mean , I wishhhhhh I had this POS in my hands!

What a fucking twerp prick. And MIT displays this as art? Ok, the ass-hole got my attention and I would like to find him, beat him silly and deport him from 30,000 feet, sans-chute, to his country of choice.

He may assume that I disagree with his disgusting premise.

I'd like to do some performance art on these displays.

art imitating low life

Gagdad Bob

You know AcademSpeak far too well...

Falling right in line with this exhibit is the newest Village Voice "newsrag" that has put together a photo collection of carnage from Iraq because, as their cover so eloquently states "WHY NOT?"
The real standout here is the photo of a marine killed in the line of action and lying in a pool of his own blood in a house in Fallujah.(it isn't in the online version).
According to the Voice, there is no political aim when these photos are published for sure. just listen to the wise words of the man behind the cameraman.

photographer David Leeson, whom I talked with on the phone, has similar passions.

He said: "I understand the criticisms about blood and gore. I don't seek that. When I approach a body on the ground after a battle, I'm determined to give dignity to that person's life and photograph him with respect.

oh, the dignity....

From powerline today:

Staff at Yale University gave Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry $20 for every $1 they gave President Bush during the 2004 presidential campaign.

At Duke University, the ratio stood at $9 to $1. At Princeton University, a whopping $302 to $1 gap prevailed. Massachusetts Institute of Technology boasted a $43 to $1 Kerry-Bush disparity.

Basing its study, "Deep Blue Campuses," on Federal Election Commission records, the conservative Leadership Institute's Campus Leadership Program examined 25 of the nation's top universities. Every single one favored Kerry over Bush.

In fact, not a single employee of Dartmouth showed up in FEC records as having contributed to Bush.

Tankdeamon: Actually I was thinking about his "five-ninutes of fame" quote more than anything else. Not that I LIKE his work, but he was an artist who used the medium effectively and with great skill.

still goethe girl is correct too. They don't deserve.

When I was 17, I used to ride around on my motorcycle with a bandana made from an American flag. Did you ever do anything stupid when you were a kid?

When is Rove gonna declare a fatwa and general bloody jihad on the desecrators of our flag?

/crickets

These would be the same liberals who accused us of desecrating a sacred book. Apparently, liberals just can't understand. It's like the crosses in Urine. They believe they have some kind of higher knowledge about what is important to us that if we just understood, we would see the light. It's the same with the democrats whining after the election as well. We do know what their message is, we just disagree with it. From their actions and their statements, liberals simply believe in rule by their rules. They don't believe in democracy or even voting. They only go along with voting because they don't have the power to stop it. The filibuster currently going on falls right into this mind set. They want the power and right or wrong are meaningless.

ALthough one can argue that tis act of disgustingness is free speech, one must also acknowledge that a flag with "Bin Laden for President" was created by an enemy of this country and the law abiding citizens in it.

Since the filthy Muslims can riot over a flushed Koran, canwe burn a university down and randomly cut people's throats in protest over our feelings regarding our flag and country?

Would it be OK if I dyed this guy yellow then kicked his ass?

yes we can! is it legal? no. but we can.

How very Jihadi of you...

Yeah,
The "artist" lacks talent and imagination, and so do most of the faculty. Performance art and political art have faded from public life together with Jane Fonda and her crowd, but the idiots in the "art" schools have nothing new to express. They're trying to be whatever the profs are encouraging them to be. Art schools (with the exception of the traditional ones - and very few are left where they still teach painting, sculpture, photography, etc.) are a repository of non-talented losers on high salaries producing more losers with no hope of a salary.
The only decent people in art schools are the art historians, maybe because they have a better perspective. The rest are stale like last week's French baguettes.

huckfinn

Why is it so "in-vogue" for American academia and press to hate Amercia. I just don't get it.

God has to store demons somewhere before He sends em to hell.

It all began in Illinois in February 1989 with a student work at the Art Institute of Chicago in which the artist had laid an American flag on the floor with an invitation to step on it.

The Supreme Court had already ruled at the time that using the flag to make a political statement is protected by free speech.

However, that does not mean that taxpayers do not have a right to object to any public funding which might be supporting the exhibition of any art which is offensive.

Private galleries can display it.

Flushing pages of the Koran is art.

If the toilet is made out of transparent fibers, and is the shit, piss and Koran pages are caught in a small transparent holding tank built underneath the mechanism. it is high art.

If menstrual blood is also flushed, it is sheer genius. :-D

#65

So what if it is illegal. Won't the ACLU protect my rights as an "offended" person?

Says the artist:

My goal was to attract strong initial attention

Let me run that through the Babelfish "Postmodern --> Actual Thoughts" translator:

Look at me! Look at me! Lookit! Lookit! Mommy, look, I'm doing a backflip! Mommy, lookit! Look! Look at me!

#49 reaganite, I'm talking about the 'Fortunately, September 11 2001 provided...' bit.

And understand the meaning of 'deserve'. Has nothing to do with changing anyones actual status. It is a statement about people living in freedom even though they dispise freedom.

# 28. He's right, it's a misconception. I'm sure the black helicopters will swoop down any minute now and take him off to the re-education camp. Work Macht Frei!

If it is illegal to burn down the university, can I at least kick the artist's ass and shoot his car full of bullets?

carl p

ya could play the victim card... it may werk

... to use ‘sacred cloth’ as a medium for other messages...

Hmm, I know a certain "Holy" book the "artist" probably won't dare to use as a medium for other messages.

...pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed.

Oh, that's easy. I didn't even need to pause and query.

The artist's naively infantile self-apsorption achieves an un-ironic resonance with the radiant baby who proudly presents the content of his "soiled" diaper before the Great Mother archetype, who absorbs the "filth" and converts it to "love" and "artistic affirmation" at the wondrous fecal statement his little body has produced.

This makes me cry, thinking of this soldier...
This photographer, like the "atriste" is very disturbing. The serial killers who take photos of their victims could be said to strive to give them "dignity." The same can be said of Leeson. This soldier was a "victim" of Leeson. A vampire with a camera.

photographer David Leeson, whom I talked with on the phone, has similar passions.

He said: "I understand the criticisms about blood and gore. I don't seek that. When I approach a body on the ground after a battle, I'm determined to give dignity to that person's life and photograph him with respect.

Ah, you seek meaning. Then listen to the music, not the song.

Another redundant work of art made possible by the Massachusetts Institute of Tautology.

Back in '68 the North koreanimals had an exibit at Ohio State U. my mum and dad took all us kids there to protest, a friend of ours lee hayes was the last minute replacement radio man, we went in, and there was a ship in a show case and my dad asked if it was the USS Peublo (sic), the commie gave us a dirty liik and I, being a snooty little sh1t, spit on the case.

my point being any LGF'r in the area go and spit on the abomination, it is no longer a synbol of this country, it's commie propaganda.

It is a statement about people living in freedom even though they dispise freedom.

I don't think it's that. I think they are to blinded by what academia "teaches" them to understand that only in America do they have that right.

I swore to that almost 24 years ago and have reaffirmed it many times since.

I'm so sick and tired of wussy jackasses who hide their political speech behind the veil of "art".

Hey, I've got an idea for a work of art.

I say we video tape a copy of the Koran swirling around in a toilet bowl and display it on TV screens in the student center at MIT, " forcing viewers (protester and protested alike) to pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed".

Or they will be ranting in DU and KOS about their oppressed, victimized lives and their brilliant talent which goes unadmired.

Performance art really has only "exhibit" potential and most are not going to become Christos.

Israel threatens PA it will resume Gaza incursions

Let's go already!

Israel threatened the Palestinian Authority on Wednesday night that it plans to resume its offensive operations in Gaza if the PA does not move immediately to halt the Hamas mortar fire on Gush Katif.

Hamas launched 26 mortars and a number of anti-tank rockets at the settlements and army outposts in Gush Katif on Wednesday. One Israeli was lightly wounded, a Hamas man was killed by an accidental explosion of a bomb he was preparing, and another activist in the organization was seriously wounded in an Israel Air Force missile strike and later died in a Gaza hospital.

Israel was crawling with police and IDF tonight. I even saw what I think was a sapper -- a huge production.

FBI Says Grenade Tossed Near Bush Was Live

Of course the AP reporter bends over backwards to blame everyone except for Islamic terrorists:

The small nation has a large cast of potential culprits, including former government elites angry at Saakashvili's anti-corruption crackdown, supporters of two separatist regions aligned with Moscow, terrorists from the Pankisi Gorge and Russian saboteurs.

The words "muslim" and "Islam" do not appear in the AP article.

What do you expect from people that supported the notion of, and in one example of an artist's 'work' of the Virgin Mary in elephant dung, as art and freedom of artistic expression.

Our universities are polluted with leftists that brainwash our youth with this crap. They teach that America is wrong no matter what, and to hate our country for anyting and everything she does but they wrap it up in a veneer of 'patriotism' of a different definition. Disgusting and disheartening

Zombie, Iron Fist, and others have said this many times and I find myself agreeing with them more and more, that there is a civil war a-brewing in this country, and it's going to be anything but civil.

*Leftists can piss on the Virgin Mary.
*Muslims can slaughter Christians.
*Leftists can hurdle dung on images of Christ.
*Leftists can whine/piss/moan/scribble their imaginary grievances/bullshit victimization onto the symbol that protects them and keeps them free.

But how dare we question their patriotism.
How dare we question them.

These groups deserve each other.

Interestingly enough, this self-righteous and inane display come from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)a, previously, prestigious SCIENTIFIC institution.

Engineering and science students from MIT are expected to deal in facts and hard, demostrable science. It is clear they no longer do.

Things like this go a long way towards explaining why there is so much vocal support from some in the so-called scientific community for politically motivated statements on global warming.

When our future scientists ("our" meaning the world's, since MIT has a huge proportion of foreign students who come to the "Great Satan's" finest schools) are taught to treat ideology and political rhetoric to be equal to evidence and experiment, it spells the death of the Scientifc Method, the greatest philisophical advancement of any age.

It reminds of a similar deep-thought senior art project at a supposedly prestigious art college's graduation week. It was a t-shirt bearing the familiar Bush-as-chimp photoshop image, with the witty caption "F#ck you, you monkey motherf#cker!".

Every time some 'artist' trashes patriotic or religious symbols in this way, we should email the offender and DARE him/her to do the same with the Koran or an image of MoHAMed.

Some of them might actually have the guts to take up the challenge.

Maybe.

I often wonder what will it take for the Left to wake up.

I'm not asking that the Left agree with me or for them to discard their values. In a democracy a wide range of views is to be expected. What I do expect is some maturity and intelligence. Instead those on the Left seem always immature and unintelligent.

Evidently 3000 deaths on September 11, 2001 was not enough to wake the Left from its collective stupor. Will it take 300,000 or 3 millions deaths or more (I know by now that 30,000 dead won't cut it)?

Even private colleges like MIT get federal monies, especially in the form of grants such as from the National Endowment of Arts.

My goal was to attract strong initial attention from the visual effect of the lettered flag, but then to act as a challenge by having the slogans be slightly ambiguous and more than slightly provocative, forcing viewers (protester and protested alike) to pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed.

"Bin Laden for President"? Well let's see, I just pondered that one and I keep coming to the same conclusion: f*ck you traitorous mass murderer worshipping piece of sh*t.

Anyone know his cell phone number, if so insert and place this ad:

I pray it doesn't come to outward violence, but fear that it will.

Seriously, the MSM is perpetuating the great divide in America right now. The illogical loonies are a small group, imho. Which is why they have to be loud.

#138 reaganite

As i said, you're a better person that I am.

These were the confluence of two separate plans - one to dye flags black, in order to convey a very different and unfamiliar visual impression of these well-known icons, and the other to use ‘sacred cloth’ as a medium for other messages, in order to attract more attention. Fortunately, September 11 2001 provided an almost limitless supply of these banners on every street corner, and subsequent manipulation of these events to commit further mass murder for political gain provided a moral imperative to protest. Unfortunately, many variants of the flags did not receive the dye well; I therefore saved the well-dyed ones for their naked visual impact, and applied lettering to the fainter ones. I made several slogans, wearing and carrying them in protests in New York and Boston. My goal was to attract strong initial attention from the visual effect of the lettered flag, but then to act as a challenge by having the slogans be slightly ambiguous and more than slightly provocative, forcing viewers (protester and protested alike) to pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed.

Translation:

"I am an asshat"

Rights and responsibilities people, this person has a right to be the lowest form of decaying sphincter he can but we have a responsibility to recognize this is just a fool seeking attention; the faster you move on the better.

When you make some loathesome churl a cause celebre, you are doing them the greatest favor, so don't do it.

Don't post any more on this topic, just walk away. The best thing we can do is make it so nothing more is said. They have proven who they are, this "artist" may one day apply for a government grant or run for office- with the exception of Berkely and two other radical university towns, this bozo is going nowhere.

Happy birthday, Zulubaby! Many more of them! :)

Funny how the "shock" factor is such an integral part of what is deemed "art" now. One wonders what has become of aesthetics.

MIT?!?!? These asshats must be Krugman's students. Chances are they don't know jack-squat about economics.

I am an artist this artist is very proud to be pro american. I know being a conserative artist makes me a minority in the artist community any other lizzard artists out there i would like to contact me to think of forming a pro american art group.

farng and reaganite, your both good people. It's the emotions from this disgusting display that have you going.

Here's some Osama art.

But American.

reaganite & Roger,

if #92 Ringo the Gringo went ahead with his art, how long do you think it would be till the feds shut him down?

The real question is: How long until I was hunted down and killed like Theo Van Gogh.

Right, after he did all this philosophical, esoteric pondering he came up with the "brillant" Osama for President.

Just what does he think is "slightly ambiguous" about that?

And to pause and query whether they TRULY understood what was being expressed?

Yeah, that takes some real deep thinking to figure out if one would want Osama for president.

I'd like to do some performance art on these displays.

Desecrating artifacts whether they're flags or crosses, is not art. It's simply desecrating something for a political statement or attention. "Art is for art's sake." It is to uplift, to show beauty, to show skill and to show mastery of the form or medium.
The first mistake these people and universities make is when they call this shit, art. I can imagine how "little" students are getting out of these "art" classes.
As to Andy Warhol, I thought it was pathetic the fame he got for painting things like soup cans. That to me wasn't art. However, when you saw some of the other things he did, the things that didn't hang in the "hip" galleries of the day, it was obvious that he was a great artist.

#135 farng!

Alkmyst and a few others have told reelcobra about the consensus opinion on self-promotion but sadly, I don't think he's gotten it.

From Condi Rice, 05-14-05:

As unrest gathered pace, Dr Rice issued an appeal: “I want to speak directly to Muslims in America and throughout the world. Disrespect for the Holy Koran is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be, tolerated by the United States. Disrespect for the Holy Koran is abhorrent to us all.

Speak for yourself, Condi, 'cuz you don't speak for me. I've used "the book" for bird droppings for over a year. I do disrespect it. It offends me. I don't have to agree and worship the thing any more than I have to tolerate bible-thumping door-to-door Jeezus salesmen.

My husband just read my comments and thinks I sounded sarcastic when I said you're a better person.

I'm not being sarcastic: I have a lot of respect for you and all our former and active military.

Do I get this right? This little shiite took down other peoples flags and the desecrated them?

May I riot and kill people now?

Mcgyver, out

Liberals ARE Traitors

I think I have read this on LGF before...once or twice.

Or I could be imagining things...

ITS CRAP LIKE THIS (which I really don't think is all that of a big deal, despite its window to the moonbat mind) THAT MAKES ME WISH THEY GOT WHAT THEY ASK FOR:

(1) I agree, let's vote Bin Laden in as President. I guess it will take 2 days before they realize what idiots they are.

(2) Let's impeach Bush...We can have Cheney for the next 10 years.

I'm not quite sure, as I don't have time to read all the way through it....but it looks like the 'Beware of Flags' poster was sarcasm due to MIT's housing policy.

See what you think.

The specific situation that led the Institute to a review of the housing policy was the flying of a flag outside a dorm window that resulted in a student filing a complaint raising concerns of the flying of this flag and respect issues. The complainant maintained the flag represented an unwelcoming environment. The student who hung the flag claimed he had a right of freedom of speech or expression.

When an artist has to have a long and lofty explanation as to what his art means and what his intent was --it pretty much suggests that without his "explanation" it lacks any merit as art on it's own.

In WWII we had segregation and internment camps.

We as Americans progress, some of us don't (think L³).

commit further mass murder for political gain

OK, so what about the mass murder of the 3000 people in the towers and at the Pentagon and in The Field? I guess to this weak-minded tool whatever motive there was in that, it was ok, cause it was against the USA.

Yeah, it's a free country, but there's no place for TRAITORS in it. It's free as long as you aren't THE ENEMY.

Man, I am telling everyone I know that the DEMOCRATIC LEFTIST SIDE OF AMERICA ARE ALL TRAITORS! ( and you can bet I'm telling them why thanks to sites like lgf and you good folks)

This kind of pathetic crap makes me sick. Move to Iran if you hate America so much you traitor. ( Merle in background singing "fightin side of me"......Grrrrrr...MOONBAT. )

I remember hearing about Theo Van Gogh's death and wondering "Who the hell would do that over a stupid movie?"

ridicule and scorn are appropriate, using whatever moral, philosophical and economic leverage we can to have the filthy display removed is appropriate, but calling for violence? Who the hell would want to do that over a stupid display?

Is it possible that the problem with MIT and some other campuses, like the California system, is that there is no longer a center of mid-American youth with mid-American sensibility like there used to be because the center is now largely watered down by foreign students who really don't care about anything as long as you don't block the door to the computer labs?

186 Sarah D.

I didn't get all the way through that either but there may be a correlation.

I didn't get the impression that the complaint was filed against an American flag. Just the way it was worded as "the particular flag."

The housing rules forbade ANYTHING from being hung out of the windows which I don't think violates anyone's free speech.

We need a Lizardoid Nation Flag! :)

So, an American flag was hung out of a dorm, and it offended some POS?
Or was it a fraternity flag that offended someone?

They believe they have some kind of higher knowledge about what is important to us that if we just understood, we would see the light. It's the same with the democrats whining after the election as well. We do know what their message is, we just disagree with it. From their actions and their statements, liberals simply believe in rule by their rules.

So true. Perpetual adolescents who are used to having things their way and have no ability to see beyond their own tiny concerns.

I don't like this but he has the right

since he has shocked me and made me think about things so hard he is going to have to do a lot more next time.

I think he should pour a gallon of gas over his head and then light it. I think that will get a strong initial reaction from people and attention from the visual effect of the burning body, but then to act as a challenge by having the screams of anguish be slightly ambiguous and more than slightly provocative, forcing viewers (protester and protested alike) to pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed.

OT - George Galloway was smoking Cuban Cigar at Capitol.

[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

LONDON (AFP) - Maverick British politician George Galloway said he broke a US trade sanction by smoking a Cuban cigar in Washington where he clashed with senators over charges he received Iraqi oil kickbacks.

Galloway, who gave a spirited defence Tuesday before a US subcommittee investigating the UN oil-for-food scandal, accused US President George W. Bush and Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair of being the real villains.

"I did a bit of sanctions busting in Washington yesterday, I smoked a Havana cigar just like this one," the 50-year-old Scotsman told a London rally of his left-wing, anti-war, political party Respect.

"I smoked it inside the Capitol building and I even blew the smoke at the White House," he shouted above thunderous cheers and applause from hundreds of supporters. "And I think we blew them away, didn't you?"

Just makes you gush with admiration, doesn't it.

I'm thinking about puttin up two flags at my house....one will be a "don't tread on me" better known as the Gadsden flag. The other...the other.....Green with a bounching football.....or maybe the St. Andrews Cross ( Please do your research on that before you start calling me a racist pig, I am not, and that is not what it symbolizes, I don't care how many half-wit hate groups decided to use it - some groups used the Stars and Stripes too but you don't hear anyone saying were racist for flying that one, anyway, sorry OT I know).

My subdivision would probably go nuts if I did that, and I'm sure I'm in the company of alot of conservatives. speaking of symbols and such, can someone tell me what the LGF t-shirt looks like - I was trying to buy one, but the XXL are sold out. But I was just wondering what they are like? thanks.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now God knows,

Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose,

If low bars you like,
If old limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why nobody will oppose.
When every night the set that's smart is
Intruding in nudist parties in studios,
Anything goes!

Now, after graduation:

My goal was to attract strong initial attention from the audial effect of the lettered bill of fare, but then to act as a challenge by having the slogans be slightly ambiguous and more than slightly provocative, forcing diners to pause and query whether or not they truly understood and agreed or disagreed with what was being expressed. For example:
"With that, would you like fries?"
"Fries with that, would you like them?"
"You are liking fries with that?"
"Liking fries, you are; but with that?"
"Fries? With that? Would you like?"
"Like fries? With that?"

Who cares? Seriously, who cares? After "Piss Christ" and "Elephant Dung Madonna" who cares about another no-talent artist being "bold and transgressive".

Here's the money quote:

...to use the 'secred cloth' as a medium for other messages, in order to attract more attention.

Get it? This asshole isn't worth our attention

I have an idea on how to deal with this asshat, or other’s of his ilk. Stage an elaborate ruse where the idiotarian is told he has been awarded an all-expenses-paid, endowed invitation to exhibit these ‘masterpieces’ at the Fonds National d'art Contemporain in Paris. The ‘exhibit’ of course must be shipped in advance of said ‘artiste’s’ arrival. Load the shit on a C-130 to Kabul for our troops to ‘preview’. Divert the little turd’s subsequent flight to Paris through Wiesbaden. Shuttle the little freak to Kabul for a ‘triumphant reception’. Can you express your Bin Laden For President creativity of sentiment now, you little fuckin’ freak? *SPIT*

LOL! That's the best laugh I've had alll day. Thanks.

That was the Grolsch talking!

LOL I've got the image from some movie in my head now of 2 guys in the ring and 1 is running around screaming like school girl (no offense meant to school girls).

However publicly challenging one of these traitors and having them back down would be highly satisfying.

Counting down till this clown gets his first fat NEA grant.

Three... two... one.

Don't spend it all in one place, Pablo!

When Missus Ned Mclean (God bless her)
Can get Russian Reds to "Yes" her,
Then I suppose
Anything goes!
When Rockefeller can still hoard enough
Money to let Max Gordon
Produce his shows,
Anything goes!
The world has gone mad today,
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once had several chateaux.
When folks who can still ride in jitneys
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
Lack baby Clo'es,
Anything goes!

I need to drink an ocean.

I've been on leave, I need sober time soon!

But really, don't let the moonbats get you down.

Link Goddess, don't sell yourself short, you've had eight Hat Tips. :-)

Nasty

#100 skippyMoment,

Dolly, any war in which I am a participant won't be even remotely civil. They will look fondly on the days when they could consider panties on their head as torture.

You know your torture session's gonna suck when dude starts by burning out your Left eye.

#245 Phil.,

2006 election cycle will see Leftist 'Splodeydopes. I've been predicting it for a year or so now. Some 18-19 year-old L³ kid (Freshman-Sophmore in college) breaks up with his girfriend, is all despondant and shit, and decides he can both show her how much he cares and be a hero to his buds.

The only question is where he gets the explosives, but that ain't exactly rocket science.
