===Jill Carroll forced to make propaganda video as price of freedom
By Dan Murphy | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
CAIRO - The night before journalist Jill Carroll's release, her captors said they had one final demand as the price of her freedom: She would have to make a video praising her captors and attacking the United States, according to Jim Carroll.

In a long phone conversation with his daughter on Friday, Mr. Carroll says that Jill was "under her captor's control."

Ms. Carroll had been their captive for three months and even the smallest details of her life - what she ate and when, what she wore, when she could speak - were at her captors' whim. They had murdered her friend and colleague Allan Enwiya, "she had been taught to fear them," he says. And before making one last video the day before her release, she was told that they had already killed another American hostage.
[ ]
In making their last video, Mr. Carroll says her captors "obviously wanted maximum propaganda value in the US. After listening to them for three months she already knew exactly what they wanted her to say, so she gave it to them with appropriate acting to make it look convincing."===

Clean towels always appreciated.


pukebot, please proceed to the reeducation camp :)


The right wing blogosphere comments about Jill Carroll infuriated me. Many of them relied not just on racist but deeply sexualized fears as well.

Just really disturbing stuff all around.


It's become damn near horrifying that they can repeat this insanity. I don't buy that Blitzer is just uneducated. And Howie K must be a complete idiot to say what he did. What was so damn odd about what she said? Jill was trying to save her life.


Please allow me to be first in line for the self-criticism session, you corporate lackeys!


I always feel like I'm down in the Alice in Wonderland hole whenever I watch Wolf or Timeh. Did either of them refer to the Murray Waas National Journal piece re Bush's determined march to war with Iraq, based on spin and lies?

No, all I saw was McCain repeat the utter bullshit that Bush was "misled" with faulty intelligence. Timeh just let that slide. As if Waas doesn't exist.

After a while just looking at these talking heads on the Sunday shows, or even those congressional "hearings" make me sick.


Okay, it's not a fun idea. No one wants to dive into those sites to read their racist, vile hate spew. Buffy didn't want to be the Slayer, either.But we have to do it.

These people have operated with impugnity, driving the establishment media narratives in favor of their racist policies for too long. And when we ignore them, we let them. That makes us accomplices.

It's not blogoshpere, but here's another scintillating example of the vitriol fron the right:

I've been poking around a bit myself tonight. I have some links below that are threads or comments that are worthy of review. But find more on your own, or highlight specific parts of what I have below and send them the Jane with links. I have not been able to go through every comment of these sthreads yet.

This is God's work, people. I know our FDL Brigades are up to it.

It did not take long to find these. Keywords and search terms like "immigration" or "Cynthia McKinney" get you a lot of mileage. Since their racism is always ready to bubble out like pus, there's always a new story they latch onto.

Okay, enough pep talk: get to work! (It can even get to be fun!).

Note: I had to break up this post to make it upload. New anti-spammer software has some side effects.


Pach -- you're the best. Lots o' sites to pick quotes from.


BTW Bullgoose has been doing great work in last night's Blitzer thread.

Sharkbabe | 04.02.06 - 9:31 pm | #

yes maam :(

*sheepishly*


My list is just a small sample based on one hour's work.

Imagine what we can do collectively!

The right wing blogosphere must be discredited. Fortunately, they make it easy, if only we have the stomach to document the atrocities.


and anyone other conservative sites in TLB’s top 100 ecotraffic blogs and..

Jane, above from your post- do you only want from top 100, or do you mean also those other than the top 100?
-


What a great idea and long overdue,
thanks Jane. Nail their sexist, racist asses to the wall.


That poor woman, Jill. I can't even imagine what she went through. But even the NYT is obsessed with her apparel. Wearing scarf, not wearing scarf. I'm truly disgusted. It's like they expected to do a Jessica (er forgot last name, but I remember she also didn't appreciate the distortions of the media-- ) and are so disappointed they're ready to cry Patty Hearst (who was also probably unfairly treated.) The media & kidnap victims: *Sigh* Not a class act on that score, the good old-fashioned media.


Kill these bastards

figuratively

I mean it, why does Wolf Blitzer shit exist, we allow it


My god, it's hard enough just to read the prompts: "Blow Iran to smithereens now or later?" And the comments begin. It's as if they're playing a video war game. Arrrgh.


HEWITT: We're in southern California. We know that a lot of the people who came here illegally are doing back-breaking work and that there's got to be a way to regulate this. But I'm worrying about the next 11 million, more than the 11 million here. We've got to get that fence up and we've got to prevent jihadists getting here

RHODES: You called them jihadists.

The haloscan is doing the blank space thingie again.


I think mad mike in last night's post should win some kind of prize for finding some one who thinks Mexican food in Irish Pubs in Boston is a cultural threat.


Oh... the blank space thingee. That's what that was. Not just me huh? I type out a long thoughtful comment in a wordprocesser to avoid my usual typos, and that is the thanks haloscan gives me. I'll try again.


Please don't limit yourselves to the stuff I pulled. There's lots more, and much better quality gold out there, waiting to be found.

But if going through my list, at least, help you get the feel for this, and breaks down the "ick" factor people have in reading through this kind of stuff, then by all means, have at it!

(continued)


Our biggest barrier is ourselves, the repulsion we have to wading through their hate speech. But it must be done, and now is the time, because progressive Internet writers and communities are collectively having a greater effect on national discourse, and we MUST show the establishment types who on the Internet can be trusted.


vg -- no the top 100. I don't want to go below that because I don't want people to say "it's not representative." The reason LGF is a good source -- aside from bountiful material -- is because they're so prominent.

Red State are a bit third-tier but because of SERIAL PLAGIARIST BEN DOMENECH they fit nicely into the story.


jane's right. But how far back can we go, jane?


*ilson..? Did you need to take a weather break?


Jill Carroll's actions were not unique. John McCain did the same thing when he was held captive by the North Vietnamese. McCain, in fact, did worse by giving military information. Does anyone attack him for what he did?


OK, I'm going through Pachacutec's list to steel myself. Kind of like anti-aversion training.


Edward Teller:

There's no real time limit. We need to show what passes to "reasonable" commentary and discourse in their ranks, and showing a pattern of behavior over time is to our advantage.


(HaloScan is borked, claiming there are too many blank lines if the comment is more than a couple sentences long. Blah.)


puppethead:

Jane is looking at it. She instituted an anti-troll spam fix into the site's Haloscan code, and it needs tweaking. IN the meantime, just divide your more substantial posts into segments and post in chunks, as I have done.


Does anyone here think Mexican "coyotes" are going to smuggle "jihadists" in to the U.S.?

Bad for business, not happening.

Canada? Yep.


One wingnut comment last night said that there were never any assimilation problems with immigrants until now. Besides hate, there is plenty of sheer ignorance and wishful thinking.


Thought there were no problems with German, Irish, Italian, Polish, etc. Totally ignorant wingnut, there.


Goodnight all, and peace to Jill Carroll - who unlike thouands of Iraqis and US soldiers didn't escape the Cheney death machine


They have this theory that Mexican immigrants are loyal to Mexico, and have a secret plan to reannex territory to Mexico.

(continued)


It's all very "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" in its falsehood and wingnuttery. So all this fulmination about assimilation and sovereignty and American culture is really a cover for racist fear of brown people. Nothing more.


I'm off to bed folks, but please, this will be a real push for us all week. Get involved. It matters.

:-)


Jane and Pach, you're made of sterner stuff than I am. No way my blood pressure and mental health can stand that kind of cesspool immersion. But it needs to be done, and I will pass out towels and attaboys to all who volunteer . . .

=====


Good luck with the aversion-training exercise of going through Pach's samples. I only got through half of the "blow Iran to smithereens now or later" posts. Btw, the preference is for "now."
I could try jabbing my eyes with a sharp stick first.


Thanks, pach.

Here's another ? Jill Carrol, Marla Ruzicka, Jessica Lynch, Rachel Corrie - three mainstream white Americans who have been dissed in unbelievably sleazy ways in countless threads at lgf and other such. Are they data mining material here? That discounts the racist factor, doesn't it? What's paramount - racism, nuttiness, or what?


wesgpc: ran into that earlier. Kind of annoying but I bet it is because of that scroll troll the other night. Sorry for the crap formatting Haloscan screwing me up!


Read young Ben Franklin on how the German immigrants were going to wreck the US. Worked too hard for cheap wages. Didn't learn English, didn't turn out to vote enough, therefore danger of dual loyalty. Same shit. Franklin was smart enough to snap out of it.


Great new contest. It is rather disgusting thought giving them all this traffic, but it is for a good cause. I love the idea of keeping a list and letting it grow. We have seen some traditional media pick up on Jane and Redd's fine work here. (and others Pach!) so maybe this will shine the light of day on the icky underbelly of the Rethugs.


racism is primary to unearth, but other vile hate is useful as well.


Jill Carroll's actions were not unique. John McCain did the same thing when he was held captive by the North Vietnamese. McCain, in fact, did worse by giving military information. Does anyone attack him for what he did?
puppethead | Homepage | 04.02.06 - 10:08 pm | #


Yes, the wingnuts have attacked McCain not only for his actions while a POW, but also for alleged mental instability caused by his ordeal. During the 2000 campaign, the bushies came right out and accused McCain of having become unhinged due to the torture he endured. Nonsense about him being insane and having anger issues circulated widely, alongside the "black baby" smear. What they've done to Carroll (with the complicity of the SCUM (So-Called Unbiased Media) is par for the swiftboating course for these reprehensible freaks.


I know at least one Rethug who is totally duped by them. He is really a closet liberal he just doesn't know it. He just doesn't know the power that he and his ilk have given to these Bozos!His big issue is taxes. On almost every issue he is a progressive!


Oops, I'm getting that too many blank lines thing again.


Yep. Seriously, these pajamas armchair chickenhawks f**ks have no shame. They certainly did attack McCain as a traitor when he ran against Bush. The fact that he broke under torture by the North Vietnamese was of no consequence to these a-holes.


I keep telling him sweetie, pay now or pay later. How the *uck do you think this deficit is going to go away! There is no national debt fairy coming to make it go away! Your grandkids are going to have to pay the taxes or forgo the services later for your giant tax break today! He is an engineer. Obviously they didn't make him go to econ 101.


Don't forget to bring back LINKS!


Those comments from LGF are the most vile things ever.

I don't know why I'm even surprised anymore.


Sorry for the rant. Thanks for giving more ammo to change minds and influence! Freaking halo scan...too many blank lines....I am frustrated by Haloscan and going to bed. Sorry for the multiple posts. I like Pach also had one long one...UGH!


I really wish there was a concerted effort to stop calling the Wing Nuts "the right", as they most certainly are always WRONG (andu usually bigoted too). I'd rather refer to them as a term I saw on this site once "The Residents of WingNuttia"!

The term "right" is just one more method of framing that their well funded "think tanks" like when we (even) repeat.


BTW, the < BR > tag can be used to get around that pesky "Too many blank lines" error. Two of those in a row will create an acceptable paragraph break.


Where does whitestate rank, btw?


A couple of commenters downloaded whole threads last night and did statistics -proportion with racial slurs, etc. There ought to be a category for stats.
I will offer up a statistics text for the winner! OK, sorry that's a crummy prize, that was the best I could think of... but of some one wants such a thing, I'll chip one in (pending approval of FDL management of course).


Big problem with Carroll is that she is irrefutable refutation to latest Bushite Big Lie. So scribblers who get Brownie-points for speweing Rovethought were on auto-slime mode. They even knew she gave that interview under suspect circumstances but went ahead anyway.


narexbyrnes | 04.02.06 - 10:22 pm

Yes, and wasn't this brought up again in the debate over McCain's anti-torture legislation? I seem to remember at least one chickenhawk using McCain's experience to advance the pro-torture argument. Something along the lines of, "Well, it worked on you, so shouldn't we use it on Al Qaeda?"

These are some thoroughly despicable fucks we're dealing with.


uhh -- I'm down to zero blank lines, and haloscan still rejects my post . . .


Now that the details are out they should eat their words and apologize. Wonder if they will. I think it means another few points off the gullibility meter (Google pollkatz this Friday)


Howie Kurtz is the biggest reinforcer of right wing memes out there including the false 'balance' one. Of course, now he is trying out a subtle attack on Olbermann ....

Ron Russell | 04.02.06 - 10:23 pm |

I try to remember to call them "reactionary wingnuts"


Oh do go read Jeff Goldstein's post on Jill Carroll. It's here


wesgpc -- approved.


Here's the money quote from Dear Jeff:
"Which begs the question: why did she wish to be released? Seems like she had it made where she was. Figs. Fine silks. An all-around comfortable kidnapping, from all accounts.
Unless, of course, she’s trying to cut in on some of that Cindy Sheehan “speaking Truth to Power” money. Big bucks in that, I hear. So you never know."


BTW, don't forget - Howie the Ho does his little online chat tomorrow at 9 am EDT...


The funniest part is, several of us who stumbled across this heinous screed were so pissed off that we commented at length, and Dear, brave Jeff not only closed the comments, he deleted them all.

Well, the joke's on him. I didn't archive the whole thread, but I saved it from where I started commenting. I am happy to say that I pissed him off so much that I expect to be accused of giving his dog a blow-job any moment now...

I don't think this comment about the State of the Union address is contest material...it does imply that Democrats are supportive of Islamofascism, but that is not exactly racism. I offer it here only because it shows what kind of supporters Joementum is attracting these days.

Duh...where's the quote?

http:// www.littlegreenfootballs....nion_Transcript

I loved the way Leiberman stood up and was the only dem clapping at one point when Islamofacism was the topic.


Hey Punaise! I'm about to head for bed but just finished reading the Iran briefing and can't quite face the nightmares.

What is maddening is the clear prspect of a disastrous outcome which Rogers describes (he was also quite prescient about the outcome of the war on iraq) yet we know that bad outcomes are no deterrance to W&Co.


My god, that is some disturbing stuff. Culture war, it is, then. That attitude is simply not civil. I'll defend to the end their right to speak their opinions, but holy smokes, that intolerance has got to be shamed out of the mainstream. Reason, tolerance and decency will win out, but it's not going to be pretty.


Related, a post on John Green, the ABC producer whose private opinions have the network kissing the First Heinie. Pathetic , and yet deeply troubling at the same time.

Test. Test. Is "Blanton" who just resigned from redstate the same as "Ben Blanton" who posts racist screeds about 7 year old girls at joneckert.com?


LGF

I rather doubt that any of this group were actual Christians*….they were in reality from an organization that is very very far left and anti American and anti Israel and much of their doctrine was and is very very hateful…(more)


Here are some links:

http://www.redstate.com/user/Blanton

http://www.redstate.com/story/20...3/29/83037/ 7888

Note this line in particular: Regrets? I have a few. Most notably I failed to keep my own advice and, in the heat of the moment, wrote unfortunate words about a funeral turned political spectacle that detracted from the issue at hand. I regret that. Could I take it back, I would.


(cont'd from above) im sure these sand monkies are putting the final touches on the video before releasing it to al-jahshitta. There is nothing Christian about these people. They are aligned with evil. Just wondering if it is Christianity or BSD/LLL that motivates these people. We need to consider that OUR gene pool needs protecting. If Tom Fox was indeed so passionate about his faith, I’m sure he wouldn’t want anyone to avenge his murder.**


More... the above quote be the real reason for his "stepping aside"?? That he got busted being too blatant with his racist bullshit, and RedState's "mentors" (see http://www.redstate.com/story/20...3/23/95925/ 2079 The Graying of the Movement) -- people like Viguerie and Blackwell and others -- have determined that Blanton, Domenech and others who are too upfront are a liability to their goal? I think so...


RedDan -- if anybody could figure it out, it would be you :)


Here's some links to joneckert.com, where a "Ben Blanton" has been a regular for some time...

So, can we confirm that Blanton at RedState is Ben Blanton at joneckert.com?

If so, can we determine who that person is, what they do, and who they work for?

And can we hang that rotting, foul, scabrously racist garbage around the necks of them that need it most?

Well, the article made my main point, which is that Nancy saved Social Security for me and thee, which she really did.


It was good to see them talk about the hardball she plays, because I think some on the left need to hear that she's got the ovaries to take us there, and be a hell of a Speaker. I'm a fan, but not a rabid one.


I do wish she'd held the plan right-side up, but I'm not sure holding it right-side up would have gotten her on Olbermann that night, so maybe it was a plan. Like with Harry Reid, with Nancy I always like to wish that "it" was a plan....

Jane, got the follownig error, not sure who to tell. I don't care about the error, I care that your sh*t is configured such that I now know crock3r is your home directory, and it kind of looks like a password. :-)

I don't know about Kurtz, but Wolf should know. CNN has had 2 "blog watchers" for some time now.

My opinion is that he is another lackey.


Well, that's that.

darkblack, that is very scary...

this will probably get epu'd but i wonder if anyone else out there thinks the name "wolf blitzer" sounds like the title of a j.c. van damme (sp?) movie about a really cool gestapo guy?

just thinking out loud....


Instapundit is a joke. Glenn just posts links a a couple liners after it. Hell, I can do that (and do sometimes) but at least I throw some analysis in there. He does very little and is consider some big wig blogger.

Speaking of faulty intelligence... now that it is all history... What exactly was the evidence that every spook agency around the world had that indicated that Iraq had and was about to use WMDs. We always hear this bandied about. The Brits told us. What did they tell us? EXCATLY WHAT!

Let's see the documents they looked at and how compelling they are. It couldn't be still classified now could it?

"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." -- George Orwell, "Notes on Nationalism," 1945

This quote sure sounds like what we're talking about in general in that the media and rightwing turns a yellow eye from this vile shit right under their noses. These ill mannered senseless diatribes from the Bligots have been flying under the radar in broad daylight long enough and I hope we fax some final collections to the media in a huge protest.


Charles Johnson on the Middle East 10 days before 9/11:

I don't like to write about the Middle East. I don't even like to think about it. It's a dismaying quagmire of blind religious hatred and irrational Dark Ages thinking on all sides, impervious to logic or reason, perhaps the greatest imponderable stupidity in humankind's history.
Shows how much history he knows.

OT: Palate cleanser (for some of us, anyway)...

Noam Chomsky's take on the Walt/Mearsheimer paper on the Israel lobby begins at around 31:30 in Friday's Democracy Now!

Upshot: The paper is a commendable effort, but the claim that the Israel lobby's goals run counter to American interests ignores the fact that the true arbiters of "American interest" are the arms manufacturers, energy corporations, et al. If they had a problem with the Israel lobby's goals, the lobby would find itself not so influential in short order.

But for the rest of you - you go!! Blessings to the warriors here.


Jane et al, I wish I could do this but I've got so little time the next 24 hours, can't spend it chasing these horrific specimens. Disgusts me utterly, the hypocrisy.

They send their Winger-Witch-On-Wheels Laura Ingraham to pule that the media is not covering The Good News! in Iraq [TM]...yet they crucify a member of the media who was clearly qualified and ready to report any good news she might have found after she bravely saves her life from that so-called Good News! in Iraq...

Makes me want to wretch. Theoretically, how would Carroll's death (had she refused to make that statement) have furthered Good News! in Iraq?


Charles does not seem to be pleased with torture here
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/...log/? entry=1258

Which would contradict his view now?


The worse thing for Jill Carroll right now is for her story to become a casus belli between wingers and progressives. She needs to be left alone to heal and pick up her life again. So, anything we can do to advance that goal is helpful to her. So, the question is, does it help her cause to take further steps to inflame this issue? Just askin'.

Um, saw this story on a local Fox News affiliate. However, much to my pleasant surprise they spent more time showing a clip of a former hostage stating that critics of Ms. Carroll were too harsh because they weren't there when guns were pointed at her head while she spoke. He also implied that there military and gov't experts would learn alot from Ms. Carroll in how to educate others if they ever found themselves in a similar harrowing experience. Overall the story, although mentioning the critics, spent more time debunking the critics claim. I was impressed to say the least with this story, because to me it really made those critics look like the hate-filled idiots they are for even making comments like that!


Jane brings up a very important point with this post- one the MSM should have to answer for- why do the MSM continually blast liberal blogs as the fringe element while not only failing to criticize the right wing blogosphere, but USING THEIR TALKING POINTS?


Anyone who knows anything about the psychological trauma associated with Jill Carroll's situation would know that a) the last thing you want is her to have to be thrown in front of cameras talking about her experience immediately upon her release and b) her so-called "sympathy" with her captors may have a lot to do with being away from her family, fearful of being tortured and killed and then being released and feeling thankful for that.


The Jill Carroll character assassins are intellectually dishonest, ethical whores and MORALLY BANKRUPT.

I wonder, deep down (or as deep that crowd can go - puddle depth) is the issue that she has the stones to go to Iraq and they just talk about it?

Naw, I forgot the Fightin' Do As We Say Brigade . . .

I think if there is another 9/11, the islamonazis will learn about certain American traditions. Gunfights and gallows and mosque burnings by white hooded men.


Oops. That didn't come out right.

The Nation of Islam (radicalized Farrakhan types) is worrisome from a 'taking to the streets, murder and mayhem' standpoint.

o you think that you are not part of a fever swamp? Do you believe that your comments about any issue pertaining to Republicans is tasteful or civil or constructive?


Go Jane!

Please don't forget to include Debbie Schlussel in your list. However, don't be too far from a toilet if you choose to read any of her venomous tripe. These people are really part of a "hate filled racist freak show".

I know that if I were still in the military, I would be very disturbed to think that I was fighting for these maggots.


A suggestion for anyone who is wading through the vile glee at these sites...
1. Save a copy of the page you're documenting. Then, two days later, go back and check if any of the comments have been deleted.
2. Check if anyone in the thread condemned the comment.
3. Perhaps even save a bunch of pages first, before reading them. I can imagine the moderators starting to worry, and now going in for a retroactive cleaning up.

Are the moderators of these forums going to stand by these comments or not? If they delete comments, does this mean they recognize how vile they sound? Why didn't they condemn those particular comments earlier?


So Kurtz, instead of apologizing for his despicable comments, now insists that Jill Caroll should do another video because Kurtz and his fellow simple-brained right-wing wackos still have their panties in a bunch, and only seeing her again on video will do -- in their fantasies this time grovelling to them.


Smears, intimidation, and demands for loyalty videos. Kurtz and his band of biggotted right-wing bloggers don't come off much better than the kidnappers.


The right-wing blogosphere should be called the Ku Klux-Klan blogosphere. The similarities are remarkable. I'm too fugged to list them, but somebody should.


A newer disgusting thread at Free Republic about Jill Carroll - http://www.freerepublic.com/focu...sts?q=1&& page=1
It starts with Debbie Schlussel's posting, and goes downhill from there, with "traitor" being casually thrown around. Representative: "Wow, after reading this I hope Carroll has a short visit back here in America and returns to her beloved Middle-East as soon as possible. I certainly wouldn't want her to be miserable in a land she hates. Who's baby will she have, Bin Laden's or Zarqawi's? Oh, I guess it doesn't matter since she's in bed with them all."

Poster doesn't believe McKinney was stopped by security guard or something.
choice comments:
McKinny, like so many of the so called black “Leaders” are the biggest Racists around.

How often do we hear that “white people” are the reason for their inadequacies as an excuse for their own self promotion to gain a monetary incentive for themselves.


Outside the Beltway continued. To which another commenter replies:
Methinks, if McKinny can’t get herself dressed in the morning by putting on her little congressional pin, it’s time for her to retire. She’s got an open invitation to a chocolate city that should be to her racial liking.
Hope this is not a duplicate. I now go puke.

Epiphany By: jsteele

If she was predisposed to 'love the arab world' perhaps the last three months have led to an epiphany for her. She may well have started out with a 'Shahrazad' view of that part of the world and may, just may, have come to recognize it for what it really is, a barbarous, collection of thugs stuck in the 7th Century.
