In a discussion concerning Joy Behar comparing Donald Rumsfeld to Hitler, a Fox News guest yesterday asserted that people like her should be rounded up and put in detention camps because they are traitors.
As reported by Fox watchdog newshounds, The program was Fox On Line with Bill Hemmer, his guest was right wing radio host, Mike Gallagher. As Gallagher moved into a tirade against free speech, left wing radio host, Rob Thompson, who was the "fair and balanced" element of the piece, reminded Gallagher what America is and what having free speech means:
Mike Gallagher: You know it's a little bit ridiculous that we continue to watch these TV stars and movie stars who smear our leaders. I just wonder, Rob, if you'll think for a moment what our enemies think of seeing TV personalities comparing the outgoing Defense Secretary to Adolph Hitler.
I mean, you know, conservatives never get a pass. Strom Thurmond is wished a Happy Birthday by Trent Lott and the sky falls in on Trent Lott. But if Joy Behar goes on national TV and compares a good man like Rumsfeld to the evilest man in the world and there's no repercussions for Joy Behar. You know, I think we should round up all of these folks. Round up Joy Behar, round up Matt Damon, who last night on MSNBC attacked George Bush and Dick Cheney. Round up Olbermann, take the whole bunch of them and put them in a detention camp until this war is over because they're a bunch of traitors.
Rob Thompson: They're not traitors, they're Americans. You know what the great thing about America is? You get to say what you like and you don't get thrown into detention camps...
MG:..No, you don't...
RT: ...And that's what the rest of the world sees. They see free Americans say what they like without having any fear of going to jail. So, if I wanted to compare someone to Hitler or anybody else, Pol Pot, whatever it might be, I have no fear of going to jail because that is what an America is.
MG: There's such a thing as treason, Rob.
RT: That's not treason. That's just political talk and satire and it's a little funny at the least.
Witness the bizarre logic of saying you cannot compare to Hitler someone who illegally invades other countries and sanctions torture of their citizens as well as erecting a police state at home. These idiots demonize such allegations against their ilk as the frothing of "leftist internet junkies" while at the same time calling for internment camps to be used against law abiding American citizens in a Hitler-esque fashion.
Who are the real traitors? The Americans who criticize torture and pre-emptive war, or the Americans who go along with it and call for detention camps for anyone who is critical, be it movie stars, news readers, comedians or Billy Bob who works in the gas station?
Satire is a biting behemoth form of political commentary because it separates the wheat from the chaff, the intellectual voices of reason and students of political wisdom from the blockheaded numbskull yes men that would happily throw themselves off a cliff if they believed it was what President Bush wanted them to do.
The art of satire is an alien concept to these neocon lapdogs, primarily because they do not have brains logical enough to decipher serious commentary from incisive satirical wit. These are the kind of people you see on the daily show who don't realise it is not a serious political news show. They totally fail to grasp the fact that just by being there they create their own downfall and prove Jon Stewart's point before he has even told us what it is.
No you morons, Matt Damon did not literally mean he wanted to see the Bush twins running around an Iraqi desert getting shot at by insurgents when he said why not send them there. He was attempting to make a point by highlighting the double standards that you lapdog fools engage in every second you open your mouth and defend the indefensible.
Unfortunately these type of commentators make up a great deal of the new output of the major stations. Even more unfortunately, their suggestions may not be so ridiculous as far as the Bush crime syndicate are concerned.
As reported earlier this month, one of the last acts of Congress was to send President Bush a bill that establishes a $38 million program of National Park Service grants to preserve Japanese POW internment camps in Hawaii, California, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. Is this really in the name of historical interest or does it dovetail with programs on the books to intern hundreds of thousands of dissidents in a time of crisis?
During the Iran Contra hearings in the 80's, previously classified information came to light about Continuity of Government (CoG) procedures in times of national crisis. The masterminds behind these programs were Oliver North, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and the Rex-84 'readiness exercise' discussed the plan to round up immigrants and detain them in internment camps in the context of uncontrolled population movements across the Mexican border.
The real agenda was to use the cover of rounding up immigrants and illegal aliens as a smokescreen for targeting political dissidents and American citizens . From 1967 to 1971 the FBI kept a list of persons to be rounded up as subversive, dubbed the "ADEX" list.
Since 9/11 shadow government and CoG programs that were outlined in Rex-84 have been activated, including mass warrantless wiretapping of American citizens. The internment camp program is being readied for execution following the announcement on January 24th that Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Brown and Root) had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps.
Footage of a FEMA facility recently surfaced that reveals the model for the upcoming camps.
Under the enemy combatant designation anyone at the behest of the US government, even if they are a US citizen, can be kidnapped and placed in an internment facility forever without trial. Jose Padilla, an American citizen, has spent over four years in a Navy brig.
So we have a government that will have the right to strip American people of their citizenship, we have current internment camps being restored and pristine new ones being built, and we have a lapdog media not questioning this but instead asserting that anyone who does question it should be thrown into the camps.
What was that about Hitler again?
