Hey KosKids,

How about becoming human shields in Baghdad?

I'm ashamed that such a person is an American.

Don't forget, Kos supports our troops -- stop questioning his patriotism.

Yea well screw YOU, KOS and every one who non-thinks like you...
all you hordes of pamphlet taking whores of the covenant of death.
Kneel before your Islamic masters.

The Freshmaker has a problem on his hands. Actually its the Democrats who have garnered support from Kos and his ilk who have the problem. They've got to distance themselves from the nutroots and that's not going to go over well with the nutbars. Not.At.All.

So, I'd say that the Freshmaker is screwed. Again.

As usual the left needs somebody to hate.

Can someone translate this?

The American people will reject this and hold the Republicans to blame. No one likes a profiteer. Democrats just have to make sure they American people do find out—and we’ll be here to help out.

Can I question their patriotism? Can I? Can I? Huh.

I mean I'm ashamed to share a nationality with such a person as this Kos poster. That our great country could spawn such traitorous psychosis is a sad reflection on what has happened to our schools these last thirty years.

Remember, Kos has all the power!

After All, Senator-elect Lamont owes all his recent successes to the KosKiddies

/snicker

These people will be standing by the sides of the road applauding as the Iranian bombs drop on NYC or Tel Aviv or DC. Applaud, applaud, clap, clap, hooray my Islamic friends, isn't it great that we can all hate Bush and America together, hooray, hoo ... gasp. Choke. Gag. What th--?

Plunk.

sure dude.
It's like, Bush is like Hitler.
Progressives are like Kewl.

and the last bit has something to do with Walmart

Because Americans will not support this if they know whats going on. You dont out source war.

So is this guy supporting more troops out their to secure the supply lines? I love when people that have no clue about the Military start talking -- outsourced security is securing the U.S supply lines and freeing up the military escorts, by escorting equipment, food and fuel in and out of Iraq. Insurgents target supply lines, just like we target theirs, they're vital.

They represent the Bush agenda of privatizing our military—a policy the Democrats must forcefully reject and reverse in the new Congress.

Our?

Makes me sick to think of the United States military fighting to protect these KOS clowns.

I like how he pretends to care about the actual military, just not the private contractors. Sure, dude.

The Iraqis that these mercenaries kill...also have wives and children. The Iraqis that these mercenaries kill are also poor and uneducated.

Ok, I get it. The "mercenaries", who generally tend to be former military, are therefore bloodthirsty, and, by virtue of having served in the military, are also uneducated and poor. It's a good thing 'Kos diarists aren't given to hyperbole and stereotyping.

/need I?

No one likes a profiteer.

well that just about sums it up. anti-capitalist socialist talk.

i don't get it myself. these people have been contracted to do a very dangerous job and most of them are ex-military, why does that make them evil? ...oh wait...maybe that's it. these guys are ex-military and they are profiting from this war! it's the whole bushchimpyhaliburtoncheneyco thing.

i do conceed that Bush should have had more troops over there reducing the need for some of the contractors.

Kos kids are mentally unstable, to say the least. They would rather have a draft instituted and send thousands of unwilling participants into a war zone (I assume to defend the bad guys, see France in Lebanon) then an all volunteer military comprised of motivated volunteers defending innocent people from a bunch of sand pirates.

Oh, Good writes:

"Frankly, if you called for the deaths-by-hanging of the corporate CEO's, I'd find that much less repugnant."

I know who deserves to die here and it ain't the corporate CEOs.

Send the anti-Semite Markos Moulitsas Zúniga back to El Salvador

Mercenaries

Screw 'em 57%

But they're people too! 24%

Only 24% of Koskidz recognize their fellow Americans as humans. Sad.

You don’t out source war.

...because then if they die they might be other nationality's and not Americans and we wont be as elated...we're patriotic...uh yeah.

/lib POS's...

If the US military were providing security for private contractors in Iraq, the Kostards would be even more outraged. They're just infantile assholes throwing (another) temper tantrum in the check-out line.

Screw them.

The Kos Kidz were assholes then, and the Kos Kidz are assholes now.

test

And yet, the REAL mercenaries, the jihadibots held at Gitmo, are the most important people in the world to them, because... because... their Constitutionally-guaranteed civil rights are being violated by the Bu$hitler each and every day!

I just had a head rush, blood flowed to my head, things went black for a moment. I'd like the little SOB say this to my face. My 8 year old could take the little girly man. She took on a 10 year old bully last weekend, Kos wouldn't last a minute with HER, in her pink frilly sundress and white patten leather shoes (though I must speak to her about wearing white after labor day).

There is a reason why we have contractors, because the military has shrunk so much. My husband sacrifices just as much as many soldiers. Some of my husbands fellow contractors are a lawyer, a professor of Arab studies and former special forces. It's his expertise that got him the job as a contractor. It's why we don't have a draft. He frees up soldiers to go do a different, even harder job.

We had contractors in Vietnam, my sister's father-n-law was one of them. It isn't anything new nor earth shattering.

kos kids could be worried that stupidity strikes at random intervals. But they have no worry, as their stupidity is attained by their own efforts and means.

/not in my dictionary

1. "You don't outsource a war" - Um, sweetie. The military isn't like a corporation who outsources things they don't handle to another company.

2. "Profiteers" - Okay, what do you call Michael Moore who made money off the backs and blood of the US military? I call him a profiteer.

This little rant clearly comes from somebody who's never been to the Middle East. Most of those countries "over there" barely know how to use a toilet or dumpster, much less organize and run a representative government*. They would kill you on a dime for making fun of the Koran or having sex with someone of the same sex. Or being Jewish or Christian or something else they don't like. The Middle East is not America - it runs on a vastly different sets of ideals than the ones America runs on.

*Note: Israel doesn't actually count in this whole rant. We're talking about the Arab countries.

Well at least they're consistently stupid and have lost any sense of humanity they might have had.
Thanks Markos.

These fucking people disgust me.

I guess I have two main points:

One, the private contractors are doing the job that our military can't because of drastic reductions in troop strength during guess who's presidency. That's right, we have private contractors because because the molester in chief cut our military in half. Also, our military, and we never learn this lesson, is for fighting, not peacekeeping and not nation building.

Two, I have a buddy over there doing "mercenary" work and most of the time he's guarding elected Iraqi government officials. So he's protecting the people who were elected by the people of Iraq, which sounds reasonable noble to me.

I know this plays into those pansies attitudes, but if I could find the sack of shit that wrote that I'd like to beat his ass with a baseball bat and then leave him tied up at the front gate of Blackwater with a sign tied to him that says "I hate security contractors and hope you die".

Can someone translate this?

Sure. Translation: I am a socialist moron. I hate Bush, and Bush and corporations are the cause of all problems. Hey! The line is moving again, I just know I'll be getting my $600 Play Station 3 soon!

After personally dealing with many “MERCENARYS” of American origin, I have no problem supporting them…I love the fact that when they get killed most of these former military (the ones I met were ex-SF) get a preverbal spit on their corpses from these KOS and other radical left wing wusses…it makes me sick.

Don’t worry, if Red Dawn (or Red Cresset Dawn) ever happens, I’ll make sure that I’ll push these lowlifes into the cross fire. Oops, did I say that…I meant I hope they don’t accidentally wander into my field of fire…I mean if these scum bags come running to me and my guns for help, I might give them a quick one fingered salute, and tell them to kindly go ask our enemy…after all, at that stage I’d be a mercenary, due to the fact I am not technically affiliated with the US military.

#39 SkyeChild
If I was to guess, by removing companies like Blackwater, Inc. from the Government approved contractor lists, or restricting the budget given to the Pentagon for paying private contractors -- and that's just off the top of my head.

I'm glad they have their priorities straight:

Frankly, if you called for the deaths-by-hanging of the corporate CEO's, I'd find that much less repugnant. But it's rather callous of you to say such things about civilians who will likely lose their lives in a horrible manner because you disagree with the business that employs them.

Idiots.

Four Contractors Taken Prisoner When Convoy Was Ambushed, Military Officials Say

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2006 — A senior Defense Department official told ABC News that Shiite militiamen tied to anti-American cleric Moqtada al Sadr were behind the abduction of four American security contractors and an Austrian co-worker seized in a brazen attack on a supply convoy near the southern Iraqi city of Basra.

Komrade Kos says he's an Army vet (non-combat).

From Digg...
Conservative blog encourages Digg use- their membership remains closed

A recent headline at littlegreenfootballs.com encourages conservatives to use digg.com. Pathetically, their own membership is currently closed to new registrations. A survey of posts at LGF shows an absolute right-wing bias. What are they afraid of?

Anyone alse want to respond?

I'd say something about this but I would be advocating violence in doing so.

Apparently, private security is horrible.

Unless its Feinstein's entourage wielding high power weapons while working to take guns away from law abiding citizens.

I'm not actually a fan of private security forces. My problem with it has nothing to do with the individuals right to keep and bear arms.

However, I'm not tasked with lifting into place parts of a civil backbone within a war zone. If I was, you can bet I would want armed security under my control.

I suppose Kos would prefer that the American military come under the direct jurisdiction of a private corporation? What a maroon.

odd he didnt mention jews or israel once.

#48 Who Watches the Watchmen?
;~P

Because Americans will not support this if they know what’s going on.

This segues nicely into a commercial I just saw on Milwaukee public television (I know, I know...I was watching a thing on the Zeigfield Follies) for a special called "War In Iraq: Through Photographers' Eyes." The voiceover said "The pictures are real and brutal, and if Americans had seen them, we wouldn't think the same way about the war."

I'm going to assume that the pictures are not of rape rooms, mass graves, purple fingers, children playing, etc., but are carefully selected to make the U.S. and our soldiers look like assholes.

Have any of you seen this on your local public TV? Is my assessment accurate?

Oh, and BTW, someone should tell them ('cause they obviously don't know)that ""The pictures are real and brutal,..." probably because war is real and brutal.
They ought to see photos from our Civil War or some of the things I personally witnessed in Vietnam.

What a bunch of unpatriotic, foolish, terrorist enabling assclowns.

#52 Killgore Trout

Thx for already responding to the Kos nuts.

Hey, do you know of a book called "Venus on a Half Shell" (I think that's the title, have a copy but still boxed up), taken off the market cuz Vonnegut protested it, written by Kilgore Trout. LOL

War In Iraq: Through Photographers' Eyes: A Google search has turned up some torrents of the show; I don't have the stomach for war photos this morning, but I'll send this along to Charles...

*sigh*

I'll grant the KOSsacks one point: The use of private contractors in Iraq has been a mixed blessing.

As I understand it, these private contractors are not bound to obey U.S. military rules of engagement. And so they have been known to use indiscriminate and even brutal force, which is contrary to the Bush policy of trying to win the Iraqis' "hearts and minds."

Whether we should be trying to win "hearts and minds" at all is worth debating. But as long as that's the policy, the private contractors should be required to carry out that same policy.

#14 No Submission

#52 Killgore Trout - OK, I registered and all but couldn't find the story so I could comment on it.
Where the hell is it on Digg?

Well, speaking as one of those profiteering mercenaries, I'd have to say there is one aspect of being in such a position that is most heartwarming at times like these.

It's this: If I were still in the military, someone just might order me to protect, directly, the sorry sack of shit, aka Marcos Moulitsas Zuniga, and I'd be under a legal obligation to do so.

As a scum sucking, low life, money-for-services rendered mercenary working for a private comapny with a contractual arrangement with the DoD, I can look anyone silly enough to tell me to do such a thing, say no, and walk away to leave young Marcos to his fate, with no second thoughts or additional repurcussions. And in such an instance, probably s slight grin on my face as the jihadis got their mitts on him.

So, Marcos, screw me?

Nah, screw you.

I had always heard that Vonnegut didn't give permission for that to be written but Wikipedia says different...

Digg is a really unorganized site it's tough to find things sometimes.

Would it be impolite for me to point out that for those Kos Kidz who actually work and get paid (however few that may be) are, in effect, mercenaries? Are they going to take this to the logical conclusion that soldiers, since they are paid, are in fact mercenaries?

"Wait for the

I must be some kind of Prophet (Joy, Knowledge, Peace, P[deleted], Rum and Lots of Money Be with Me).

Considering that the current crop of kidnapped private security people were guarding the convoy of a Kuwaiti company (according to the first story I read on this), I must ask precisely how the diarist proposes to have congress interfere?

Kos likes to call the contractors mercenaries.

However, is he not a "mercenary" himself?

We all know about Markos' political aspirations; fittingly he sells himself quite well and really puts his ass out for the party line.

Come to think of it, I've got a better word to identify Markos than "mercenary".

How about...

PROSTITUTE

Oh, from yesterday morning's thread on this topic, comment #69 by Shiplord Kirel:

Left conformists have an especially strong motive for demonizing contractors. In many cases, the contractors do not depend on US government funds and they could continue their work even if the Dem Congress shuts off funding for the war.
Unlike the government of South Vietnam, the Malaki government and other anti-fascist forces in Iraq have their own money. Malaki would have to find a way to keep his cronies from stealing so much of it, but with his neck on the line (literally) he may be able to do that.
This would threaten to derail the pop-left's cherished dream of repeating their 1975 Vietnam triumph.
It wouldn't be easy but some Americans would fight on even in the event of a 1975 style betrayal. A Kucinich style cut-off would not automatically result in a complete debacle unless the leftists and Democrats can find a way to keep American from continuing the war as private citizens. That is where the Kos propaganda line comes in. Demonizing these contractors will make it easier for pro-terror forces to sell a congressional ban on security contracting in Iraq.

Also, a couple of his other comments, on the same thread. He's spot-on.

PS: If anyone gets Markos the PROSTITUTE for Secret Santa, he would like:

1.) a new pair of fishnet stockings - his last John (was it Edwards or Kerry? Or both?) tore his up.

2.) a new prescription for Penicillin. Damn that clap.

3.) a sweater to keep him warm while he pimps his tushy on the corner of the Arab Street.

I'd always suspected that was possible, but I didn't know for sure. You may not like it, but I don't share your view. I'll bet the savages don't screw with them as much after a few brutal demonstrations.

What a piece of sh*t. I hope he treats the private guards in stores just as poorly - then maybe they'll let him get his *ss kicked in the parking lot.

A MERCENARY is fundamentally different from a private security guard. I don't see how any person of sound mind could say that a private security guard is the same as a soldier for hire. By this moron's definition P-Diddy's entourage is a group of mercs.

What the F does this pr*ck mean by "profiteer"? If the creeps in Iraq weren't busy head-chopping then private guards wouldn't even be necessary.

I sense that Kossites' aversion to (let alone misunderstanding and misapplication of) the word "mercenary" (and never mind that most speculative posts on Kos about the military resemble staw dogs) will mean they won't give a listen to Danish band Mercenary (who are a really excellent death/melodeath band).

From Tech Support at The Other Side of Kim:

The story starts with "David", a friend of the Du Toit's, moving to a state that allows him to buy a gun. After fulfilling that responsibility:

He’d also had some concerns about the war effort. He was having the moral quandary about serving, and seriously thinking that he should join the service. These, too, became the subjects of email exchanges.

Without giving too much away, the nature of his work meant that he could do more good as a civilian. Considering his age and marital status, “joining up” was not in his, his family, or the country’s best interests.

When an opportunity to go to Iraq presented itself within his company, however, David volunteered. Without giving away too much, this civilian went to Iraq (TWICE!). He was involved in a fire fight on his first visit and suffered a minor wound, and got in a serious fire fight on the second visit that left him severely wounded. He’s recovering, but has an injury that he will carry for the rest of his life.

He’s never complained. He’s never asked for recognition and he’s been reluctant to share these details with us for fear he’ll appear as if he’s whining or boasting.

Yeah, fuck this goddamn murdering mercenary. How dare he defend his family, his country, his way of life, without wearing an official UN-approved jack-booted-thug uniform? (So unlike our opponents in this pointless game, who themselves are scrupulous Honorary Citizens of Geneva, and who would never, ever, accept money for their pious worship of Allah, or allow their families to do so in the event of their deaths.)

Of course, this self-serving killer for hire continued to be a hero oppress the poor and disenfranchised even after his return to the Imperialistic States of Amerika. But you'll have to read the whole thing to find out about that.

Not that I encourage anyone to contaminate their minds with that sort of rabid wingnut propaganda, of course.

Oddest comment (or up there) I've seen lately (from the Kos thread, of course):

Soldiers hate mercenaries for the same reason women hate whores. The thngs they do should only be done for love, not for money.

Hire out as a private mercenary if you want, but don't expect us to put the precious lives of American soldiers on the line to bail you out if things go wrong.

by timoth31 on Fri Nov 17, 2006 at 06:40:07 PM PST

Never mind the actual point he was trying to make - his simile is twisted, sexist, and presumptuous. This poster seems to think that all sex workers are female, that it is fine to call them "whores," that all women hate them, and by omission, inferentially, that only women hate them. No. No. No. No.

Not all contractors are mercs. A coworker of mine was beheaded in Iraq. He was a civilian tech on the AH-64. His only crime was not enough contractor security.

Am I hearing that we might just have to commit more seriously to the war effort (so that private outsourcing would not be necessary) once war is declared? Pinky almost succeded making sense.

I wonder if it suports the troops? I would guess no.

So what can the Dems do? Dunno.

Neither do I.

I thought I would respond to this for my first post here. I recently saw Mercenary live in Atlanta, Ga. They put on a hell of a show and were also really cool, down to earth guys as well, and always took time to chat with all of the fans who approached them.

They can slice and dice it however they want, but this entry and the vile comments that follow it prove that Daily Kos and the nutroots it represents wants Americans to die. Period, end of story.
