max blumenthal: generation chickenhawk

[franknhonest]

What a bunch of idiots. Fighting al-Qaeda in Iraq? There was no al-Qaeda in Iraq until the US invaded. Loons. Iraq posed no threat to us, and didn't attack us, so the war was completely unjustified.

[heartfire451]

I can't stand those who will send others (poor kids of course) to fight wars that they should fight themselves since they believe in them. In the civil war even men age 50 and even 60 fought and that was a very physically difficult war, and did so because they had morals and credibility and believed in the cause. These modern day repubs are money grubbing little candy cocks with rich daddies and they only care about money. So they send poor kids to get shot up doing their dirty work for them.

[sherhak]

lol, they all have 'medical' reasons. but it's ok for other americans to join and die for them. 'war on college campus' lmao... f...ing hypocrites.

[alexjohnc3]

I think most of them gave pretty decent replies, even if they are wrong about supporting the Iraqi war. Would they be wrong for supporting U.S. participation in World War II, even if they weren't thrilled about the prospect of participating in it? I really don't like borderline deceitful tactics like this, especially when they come from people who I agree with. Then it's just pathetic.

[avzett]

Bunch of lowlife fucking scumbags.

[TheForwardGaze]

Powerful stuff. It even had disgraced Tom Delay. I wonder these people felt after seeing the video.

[bluesborn]

"I know for a fact that I am not Gay".

You'd be hard pressed to find a better example of suppressed homosexual tendencies.

[wntoply6]

i'm always amazed that 18 to 22 year olds seem to know more than any other group, regardless of age or experience, including those who have served this country.

these children are just that. little children echoing the views of their parents and their preachers without the benefit of thinking on their own or experiencing life to any degree. that of course would only come should they ever be drafted, regardless of their "medical conditions".

the little cowards!

[wntoply6]

i love it, "draft college republicans" if that were a fact, you'd see NO college republicans for the wars in the middle east. for they are the biggest cowards on the face of the earth.

if i speak untruths, i would like to see proof of the opposite, not just say so from one o' them coward republicans.

[domaining365]

I enjoyed the video. Of course I also enjoy Jason Mattera's. You guys are both excellent at exposing the idiocy of ideological politics within both parties. I'd love to see the video that you could produce by applying a variation of the chickenhawk theme to the recent revelations that Dick Blumenthal lied repeatedly about serving in Vietnam. Or does he get a pass because of the (D) after his name and the fact that he was considered a heavy favorite in the CT U.S. Senate race?

[prrolg]

In combat Max Blumenthal would be the first one to scream like a bitch that he doesn't belong there and the war is wrong etc etc. A real cunt.

[wntoply6]

@prrolg and probably you would too unless you have serving in combat or have served, you lily livered coward!

[prrolg]

@wntoply6 Any intelligent person is aware that they would have fear when engaged in combat. Which leaves out Max Blumenthal

[wntoply6]

@prrolg and you call yourself intelligent? have you served? tell me, have you served?

[prrolg]

@wntoply6 My personal life is private and is none of your business. Can I assume that by asking such a question that you feel free to divulge information revealing your private life? If so how many times do you have sex with your wife each week? And, are you a homosexual? Let's start there.

[wntoply6]

@prrolg yes of course your private live is no one's business, but everyone else's is YOUR business isn't it you coward.

little shits like you make me sick. and i will start where you suggest, i am gay, proud, and YES i was in the service for 4 yrs, proudly did my job, was promoted often, before my straight brothers & was asked to enlist. i'm not afraid like you "christian"concervative bastards to back up what i say.

now you coward, enlist in the marines and serve or shut the fuck up!

[prrolg]

@wntoply6 Enlisting is not the proof of courage you idiot. That is not what the military wants. You should have stayed out of the service. Obviously you are a load and not a leader. Don't throw a hissy fit boy. It suits ya. LOL

[wntoply6]

@prrolg you who hide from military service are full of courage aren't you there prrolg. what a fucking laugh you are not only to yourself, but to this country.

if you think any of the wars we're in right now are justified, it's your duty as an american to join the military and fight for the rights you enjoy. if you don't you're a coward...plain and simply.

it's not just we gay boys who think so, it's most americans (except for those on the "christian"right who are full of your bluster).

[prrolg]

@wntoply6 Where did you get the idea that I "Hide from military service" you cocksucking faggot? Why are you so full of piss and so stupid

[wntoply6]

@prrolg frankly who gives a shit what you backward "christian"conservatives think. you're a detriment to america no matter what the hell you do you ignorant, intolerant hating bigot! the federal government in the end always takes care of your kind, whether you like it or not.

[prrolg]

@wntoply6 Who? My family. My friends and my aquaintences care very deeply what I think, say, do and believe. And that is all of the audience a man could ever expect to hope for. I wonder what you are doing for "America". I wonder how you deduced that I am ignorant or intolerant or hating or a bigot. Actually I doubt if I could care what you would say on that. How does the government take care of "My kind"? And how does the govt determine "My kind" and then what care we need? Silly riff

[wntoply6]

@prrolg again, your ignorance, intolerance and bigotry are a detriment to america whether your family and friends agree with you or not. you're just plain stupid. but hey even america can handle stupidity. but again when it goes over the line, the feds will either force you to do what is right or jail you.

[prrolg]

@wntoply6 When WHAT "Goes over the line"? You incredible moron.

[wntoply6]

@prrolg "you cock sucking faggot"that quote from you proves you're an ignorant, intolerant bigot, whether you in your small mind think so or not. i wouldn't be surprised, you damn "christian"republican (and i'm not saying you're christian or any specific religion, i am referring to your political persuasion) that your parents didn't believe in segregation, whites shouldn't marry blacks and only the poor should do your demented war bidding cause you're to yellow, you god damned bigot!

[prrolg]

@wntoply6 Alot of bigoted assuming from a bigot calling, glass house residing, "Nonbigot" fag. LOL

[wntoply6]

@prrolg what the hell are you talking about? you continue to jabber bigotry and then deny it at the same time. just how stupid are you?

[prrolg]

@prrolg What was that about Christian Republicans you moron? And my parents? Maybe the best part of you is that you like dick. I don't know. I don't like you very much. Especially that vein sticking out in your forehead. Stay away from me or I may have to bust your nose.

[krm6886]

pseudo-intellectual, meaningless garbage.

[ToeInspector]

Sickning

[highwind8124]

"Excuse me!" I love how the woman pretends she has a problem with what he's doing.  Sometimes poo takes the form of humans.

[highwind8124]

Interpretive dance rocks!

[highwind8124]

Okay the fat guy at 3:04 definitely can't enlist. He'd be the first one dead. Come on, that's cruel. Don't ask him.

[brutusln]

The first lesson in sociology is "How are your beliefs similar to your family's? Your community's? Your religion's? Why aren't they different? How are you a product of your immediate social influences and why?"

[cs925]

I wish I went to a 4yr university (2yrs JC)

While growing up through my 20's (now in the late 30's) it bcame clear to me that (more or less) people (in general) are a product of their enviorment. Past envoirment (childhood) especially.

Reading your comment gave that 'thank god' feeling because for all this time it I thought 'what if I'm way out on a limb on this one?'

Anyway thank you for taking the time to post it.

[jimj122680]

What an idiotic comment Tom Delay makes at 4:00. What a sleeze bag Neocon piece of shit he is. We DO NOT need any of these illegal alien cockroach parasites. They are only here because they offer CHEAP LABOR and corporate SCUM makes more profits off them. Who loses? The U.S. worker.

Illegal immigration is about one thing ---> greed.

[yamaha893]

capitalism for the winz

[jimj122680]

What a bunch of Kool-Aid drinkers.

I'm on the FAR, extreme right (politically) and I agree 100% with Max Blumenthal on the topic of U.S. foreign policy. I don't agree with him on much, but he is correct when it comes to these sick Middle East wars and the U.S. mindless support for the terrorist "nation" of "Israel".

If anyone is a terrorist in Iraq it's the U.S. troops. And if the U.S. attacks Iran, I'll be supporting Iran.

[memanmox2]

Hey guys hows it going just so you know after i shook that guys hand i talked with him for 5 more minuets, but of course they dont want you to see that, and of course i also was trying to say what i learnedthat day and it came out wrong i have a horrible ways with words. P.S. these guys suck.

[Monaro406]

The dude at 4:35 made my Gaydar register a 9.5.

[fringefries]

My brother gave his life for these little chickenhawk garbage. Each one of these kids should be abducted and beaten with a rubber hose until they pass out. They need to be scarred and scared. They are ungrateful trash. Just like republitards all talk no action. Great job and thanks for exposing these ungrateful spoiled idiots.

[BlackmoresKnight71]

Yeah! my dad was Army Ranger in 2 wars so he could come back and be shit on by the V.A. so guys like Cheney can have other priorities and there kids can go cower at Yale and Harvard and party while the poor fight there wars and pocket massive war profits.

[fringefries]

I feel for you guy my brother didn't even make it to the V.A. but your point is well taken these RepubliSCUM don't know what REAL service is. Ever notice that the republiscum ALWAYS have some excuse for not serving? It's little comfort I know to realize that the republican'ts are losing favor with the U.S. military. More people in the military describe themselves as democrats or indepedants than they do republiSCUM. At least your dad and my brother can hold their heads high where they are.

[Obobbakonda]

They just repeat what Bush said. "If we don't fight over there we'll have to fight them over here." Bull dookey!

[kaffelfalaffel]

are these people allowed to vote?

[ChurchofMe88]

why is blumenthal whispering?

[lufo530]

EXCELLENT video - this coming from a true conservative

[grrcrl]

rejected for medical reasons is code for PUSSY!

[zenozor]

We need the draft....FOR ALL!

[nghivu]

We need the draft for just gun-ho cheerleaders.

[nthought]

Leave those children alone. They're fighting the war from their armchairs!

[whichoney]

most of max's videos are pretty interesting.

[zombiesoiree]

Nice, Max. Chickenhawks make me sick.

[okhan001]

people are depressing

[MPD5811]

ooorah Max Blumenthal for asking those college studenst that. I was in afgan and iraq as and o311 infantry man in the US marines and I dont support this at all. Ive had friends die and friends who are severly handicapped from this war. I dont support this war and I have a right to say that since Ive fought inthe war. Kids like his make me sick and to know that my friends died for cowards who want this war but wont fight in it makes me want to vomit.

[willsonmarine]

right on brother

[LTNixonRants]

Nice, that one girl at ~1:05 is a total babe. Why can't she come on over to Iraq to fight the "Islamofascists" whatever the hell those are supposed to be.

[LTNixonRants]

Haha, this is a great video. Why don't all these youngsters come on the team for the big win!

[davidbalazs]

I for one hope they re-instate the DRAFT. Perhaps then these "Fortunate Sons" would think twice about supporting a war...

[rakrobn]

I agree. I'm Democrat and FULLY support reinstating the Draft. People would definitely think twice before going to war, and more likely we wouldn't go at all.

[nghivu]

There are many valid objectors on moral ground and shouldn't not be part of the draft. Only draft these gun-ho cheerleaders.

[nthought]

These guys would run and hide if there were a draft just like their heroes Bush and Cheney. These people are unfit for leadership.

[Jessymandias]

man, I hope that [Definatly NOT gay] Max kid gets an awakening real soon about who he is...in the mean time I hope he keeps cracking us up

[ryanshaunkelly]

HDNet Dec 1 DNC debate (Sat 7:30pm ET).

- all eight -

gravel kucinich paul nader

[TruthisRevolution]

Hey, I'm a College Republican against the war and for impeaching Cheney. Your work always seems to divide the Left and Right instead of uniting people under something we should all embrace: Constitution. RON PAUL 2008!

[eladelantado]

Now we know why we have illegal immigrants filling the jobs that we are not willing to take.

[Scotty7617]

Abraham Lincoln said "Whenever I hear a man arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him."

The same applies to war.

[kyleomalley]

nice work, but liberals and conservatives make a pretty false dichotomy.

[ILoveBeingRepublican]

Hey everyone,

Alright just to let you all know I was there and I saw this idiot, and he interviewed my boys first thing there was a large majority of us College Republicans who are enlisted and he only took the small minority at the conference. Also a lot of the people interveiwed are not CR's there was a Christian Convention occuring at the same time. So BEFORE this IDIOT decides to post this stuff maybe he should give the full details!

[Scotty7617]

Every time you pass a recruiting station without signing up you're giving the terrorists hope.

[Scotty7617]

Excuse me, I meant to put "lifed a finger."

[Scotty7617]

Would you honestly want these people serving? How are they going to handle heavy equipment when they've never lifted in their lives?

[Scotty7617]

"How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?"-General Smedley Butler

[ladalang]

How incredibly funny. They want war as long as they don't have to fight. Let the poor kids who can't afford college go and fight. No wonder they believe this, they don't have to go and fight that way. It works for the lazy and afraid. mental midgets.

[GOWASHINGTONSTATE]

That guy at 2:40 is a fucking liar!!! Your cannot be in ROTC if you are medically unfit to be in the military. ROTC means you serve after college. If he can't serve after college he can't be in any ROTC program. I hate dumbasses like that

[laertes160]

The guy in the white Tshirt who said with emphasis: "I know for a fact that I'm not gay" after having said "everyone experiments" really cracked me up. And each one of them thought him/herself too valuable, or sick, to join the military. These are the mighty GOP future heroes, toadies who go to conventions to kiss the arses of conservative politicians and others of that ilk.

Baak-bak-bak chickenhawks - bak-baak-bak ...

[darthscumbagus]

Who was the first president to never have served in the Military? You guessed it, Bill Clinton. Chicken hawks-- Hillary, Obama and Edwards-- none of them served in the Military and they all want to keep the troops in Iraq. Vote Ron Paul

[mclaurinp1]

Actually I believe the first president to not take an active role in the armed forces would be John Adams

[Scotty7617]

No, Adams did not serve. Many of the Founders did not, but they still risked their lives as they could have been executed for treason for their actions.

[mhdutle]

Doesn't General George Washington count?

[SirGustavGraves]

future US leaders ? greedy twats

[rrman07]

I am ashamed to see one American to disgrace or look down to to another American because he/she chooses to serve his country in another way other than through the Military.

[kwestyunz]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...

What a bunch of pretentious warmongering douchebags.

[powerbookg]

Democrats are cowards, period. Does it say anywhere in the constitution that you HAVE to serve? No, so why ask, cowards? Republicans are taking over Maine and every other state, more power to 'em.

[Duracellman]

I think they're only able to do that because the democratic youth are off fighting them over there.

[Scotty7617]

No, powerbook, of course you don't have to serve. You are free to be a pathetic coward who demands that other fight your battles and demands security without sacrifice.

[superfisto]

That guy in the white shirt should come out of the closet.

[biako06]

College republicans are despicable. The Chickenshit generation. Typical Hypocrites..

[tobiaswhately]

Don't these guys have anything to say other than the talking points? These chickenshits don't even have the courage to follow through with their convictions and "fight them over there instead of fighting them over here." one of them even laughed when asked why he wasn't serving. What an asshole.

[Lexdisya]

I've never had an inclination to the same sex...wtf

[AnthemForOne]

At 2:06..."What might not...convince me not to join is if somehow I become, like,a really good, like, speaker and stuff like that. That's what would convince me not to join."

Well, I guess that guy should be sporting DCUs and toting an M-16 in the sandbox any day now.

[twc1]

Excellent!

[mikiewad2]

my ex friend who became republican because

he thought they would save him some money on taxes went along for the ride when they were taken over by the right wing thugs because he thought they would keep him safe. he spouted all the talking points as to why americans should fight in iraq but when i asked him if is only son 17 years old and a karate black belt would join the rangers or the seals he looked at me like i was crazy and said

[evilrichwhiteguy]

Hopefully he just hauled off and slugged you, which is what I would do. But I doubt you had the courage to say that to someones face.....

[sirchrisk]

I'm in the army and personally I think just about every one of these little bastards should serve, I did like the "officially not gay" thing, I lol'd

[biako06]

The officially "not gay" guy is a future Mark Foley, or Ted Haggard. This is how they start out.

[sirchrisk]

Fucking jokes all of them, I like some of the original republican teachings (Fiscal responsibility, Isolationism, etc.) but not the neo-con shit they have today. Have a military doctor evaluate all of them and All of the ones that can serve have them serve in the infantry. Fucking frauds all of 'em.

[memanmox2]

how dare you i look nothing like mark folley or ted haggard. ur kids will now look like them. a curse is upon you.

[rch88]

Yknow, Delay is right...all those aborted fetuses never had a chance to clean up wet tissues and shit over at the Texaco station for .25 an hour

[onehundreddollars]

What a bunch of idiots.

[hazemix]

awesome

[myroncope]

I think this video proves a point, but if I were him I'd go around asking anti-war people why they aren't taking over city blocks or engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience and risking jail time to stop the war. There are plenty of guys risking their lives because they really believe they are defending freedom, and all that bullshit. But very few against the war are willing to put themselves on the line.

[grooter107]

Brilliant!

[evilrichwhiteguy]

If any of you big, tough progressives loudmouths need a ride to the recruiters, let me know. Never met a single one of you shitbirds in all my time in the military.

Semper Fidelis.

[myroncope]

Why would progressives join the military? That would be like you engaging in rational thought.

[evilrichwhiteguy]

Courage ain't yer strong suits, I have to agree with you....

[myroncope]

Has nothing to do with courage. I have a problem with murdering civilians who pose no threat to me, and occupying countries to make way for plundering by wealthy corporations. Has nothing to do with freedom or courage.

[armadilloze]

Dear Evil - why don't you attend a local Young/College rethug meeting and hand out some "Application for Active Duty" (DA-Form-160-R) forms? See how long it takes YOU to get ushered out. Hahaha! Your cowardly friends support the war, but only with other people's children and other people's money. Have mommy look up "hypocrite." P.S., I'm a veteran/volunteer. Yes, you didn't meet millions of us because you live in a bubble.

[nygenxer]

DeLay's comment really jumped out at me! Immigrants, illegal & otherwise, do the worst jobs for the lowest pay. Those jobs are apparently reserved for the next generation of poor by the wealthy GOP.

[mimonkey2]

Great video. Really great (...apart from the "interpretive dance" bit at the end. That was kinda silly, and made Max Blumenthal seem like a juvenile).

[MonsterSound]

Excellent job, however it is terribly painful to view such hypocrisy and intellectual vacuousness. P.s. Hopefully Mr. ONG (officially not gay) will some day be mature and brave enough to accept his homosexuality without harming himself or others. Peace.

[area24isme]

Chickenhawk Tai Chi Dancing by Max hitting Fulton Lewis IV or V, good shot. Used to have to listen to F.Lewis III on WOR when I was a kid. Those were simple minded times. You were either with GOD and the US or you were a Godless Commie. CP's still talk like that

50 years later and if they are really political it's "we gotta get um over there before they...there's

nothing else to think about after that.

[ciantgock]

im a pretty good judge of what gay is, and i'm pretty sure having gay desires is pretty gay.

Beautiful. I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.

[oyyour]

Their official position: You go fight and die, I'll stay home and get rich through war profiteering.

[nolalily]

Cowards. Liars. Stupid. Illogical. Arrogant.

[cfortunato58]

What a bunch of little cowards. THIS is the modern Republican Party: cowards who love war and start war, but think OTHER people should be the ones fighting.

[lillyahoo]

Awesome! I went to school down South with these tough-talking weenies - they're perfectly willing to carp about sacrifice and taking 'em on as long as they're sure it's gonna be a bunch of poor black boys doing their fighting for them. If there was a draft with no waivers you'd see a whole different attitude. They remind me of that fat Southern politician in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - every time the facts come up they just do that little side-step and SLIDE off on some other topic.

[nospacesallowed]

That guy who was officially not homosexual is totally queer......

[jabronieramone]

awesome. typical Republican cowards. They've been told by their parents to let the poor fight. Everyone one has their role.

[cornbreadjunkie]

That's some great, great footage. I suppose we could walk into a Young Democrats meeting and pick out some idiots, but that sure doesn't keep me from enjoying the hell out of watching those young buffoons at the CR meeting.

[UdReks]

Everyone has an inclination toward the same sex.

But if you pray to God not to let you go that way, that will definitely ensure you don't become a homosexual.

Do you doubt this logic? My friend, it's as sound as the logic of fighting the good fight from thousands of miles away, against those Al-Qaeda supports, the College Democrats.

[MaskedKat]

CR's are a bunch of smug, ignorant, hypocritical assholes. Thanks for exposing 'em, Max!

[woody712]

They would fight, but, you know, the don't want to.

[maxomai]

BTW, next time they manhandle you like that, you might want to let them know that they're committing assault and battery -- on tape. How will that look on their resumes?

[joanneleon]

Way to go Max. Shine a light on them.

[rogpol]

the next generation of hypocrites.

[svosprey]

Thank god they are to sick or otherwise occupied to defend their country. These chickenhawks would cower in fear at the first shot.

Cut and paste much, moron?

[onehundreddollars]

Because people opposed to the war would definitely fight in it, right? You moron.

[GeorgeDRange]

Spooky! I myself have not served, and not because of my medical conditions. If I felt a war was JUST, I would probably lie and try to get in anyway. Obviously, many are doing so right now, (lying) because face it, we all know there are gays, psychotics, and folks with bad backs fighting in Iraq. It's just statistically sound. Unfortunately, the last war I would have felt compelled to volunteer for was WWII, and I wasn't born yet. Doubt me? I live 2 miles from Pearl. Eddie would go!

this is great, keep it up

Well done on the Video. It helps to show the world that rebubbalicans really are just lemmings and cannot or will not think for themselves.

The really sad thing is these retarded repugnantcans are allowed to breed and spread the hate to other innocents.

[mkcurlylocks]

Funny but disturbing-- at least the guy who's "career minded" doesn't have a bs medical excuse.

[hopbell]

Thanks Max! Great video report. I agree: "Draft College Republicans"
