Matt Chiroux Interview IVAW Morgan attacked

[casinohijack]

This shows how the police in this country take care of the ones who really put there life on the line for this country .... or better yet Exxon and the police are just here to protect the rich. I dont know who is worse? The police everywhere you go wear all black so i guess its now moving towards a military police.

[prrolg]

I noticed at 3:05 they put the rasberry jam on TOP of the bandage strip. Faux Pas. lol

[heartfire451]

I'd bet the cops would not be so gutsy if they were up against armed protesters. Cops are just heavily armed thugs. I'd like to see them start trying to kill people at an NRA rally. The pig cocksuckers know they would be shot immediately and killed without mercy. So, they pick on peacefull people because they are cowardly little evil freaks. All they have accomplished is to make alot of people like me truly wake up and hate not only the cops, but also the evil governments that back them also.

[towerclimber37]

@heartfire451 hahahahahahah stupid idiots.

You have the right to freedom of assembly as long as it's peaceful, when you cross the line and start trespassing, you deserve what you get.

[GlobalPunditOrg]

@towerclimber37 that's a pretty assinine way of looking at things actually - especially when you realize the pains the veterans went through to make sure everything was done illegally... OH - and by the way - the veteran who was badly injured - he was not trespassing at all - he was knocked over and stepped on by a cop on horseback - IF you bothered to listen to the interview that is or read any of the articles on it that I wrote for Print and Online outlets. thank you.

[towerclimber37]

@GlobalPunditOrg they took pains to do things illegally? was that a typo or a Freudian slip?

Here's the bottom line. You're allowed to peacefully protest. It's protected under the 1st amendment.

When you cross the line (or in this case, when you trespass in order to disrupt someone else's rights) you WILL catch a beat down.

I guess it's just asinine (that's the correct spelling pal) that folks expect others to ABIDE BY THE LAWS we as a society have instituted.

GROW UP!

[GlobalPunditOrg]

@towerclimber37 nicely employed - 2 of the 3 easiest online retorts - point out spelling errors (pal), suggest a Freudian slip, and of the course the 3rd would be to call someone a fascist/nazi/etc. - 2 out of 3 isn't bad. And i'm sorry you didn't catch the pun used in "assinine".

[towerclimber37]

@GlobalPunditOrg Now now, I know how uneducated you kids are these days. I was simply trying to help you out.

Puns are nice but I'm more at home with facts.

[towerclimber37]

@GlobalPunditOrg Oh and about the guy who tried to stand his ground in front of a horse...that guy's either stupid, or setting himself up so that he can claim injury. only a fool or an idiot will try to do what he did.

That's why the cop rode his horse up there..to break up and disperse a crowd of people who were breaking the law.

Get over it and quit it with the whining. The guy deserved what he got.

[GlobalPunditOrg]

@towerclimber37 hey buddy - he didn't try and stand his ground you fool - he was knocked over unawares & then trampled by a horse as he lay there. Geez - do people watch things in full context or just see and hear what they want to see? Oh wait - the Tea Party Movement and neo Cons already answer that one for me.

[towerclimber37]

@GlobalPunditOrg He didn't see the horse?? you mean to sit there and tell me that a 1700 pound horse just SNUCK UP on the guy?? LOL!!!

I suggest that you re-think your debate point. it's a little too far fetched.

[towerclimber37]

@heartfire451 hey, lots of the people at the NRA rally ARE cops. IF it helps you to think that you're going to kill a cop then have at it. Act on it if you have guts. I would REALLY like to see that. LOL!

They didn't pick on peaceful people, they enforced the law.

As for being gutsy against armed protesters...you DO know that many of these officers are ex infantry soldiers right?

You'd do better to drink a gallon of gas and pee on a bonfire than to try and cut their heads.

[UrbanMilitare]

This audio always puts a smile on my face. I love it when anti-war protestors get the shit kicked outta em!

[d4panther]

WE have so less people here to comment cos ITS SO UN-AMERICAN , ITS SO UN-PATRIOTIC ,,ITS SO UN-CHRISTIAN TODAY to stand for TRUTH & FREEDOM .Cos its not so COOL TO be TRUE these days .and dont forget our lives could be endangered , our wine flow , our dance parties , our enjoyments of life , our drugs , our brothels , our gossips , our fashion , our sexy reality shows , our life itself will be down the drain ...so WHY SHOULD WE BE HERE ? MAKE A REASON NOT TO BE HERE WITH THE TRUTH .

[brimmster]

Thats good for them! Way to go cops! Sometimes you have to use a horse to shut the mouth of cowards!

[Altruikus]

@brimmster

The police are Nazi grunts! Fuck the police! Fuck capitalism! Fuck Fascism!

A.C.A.B.

[hiruleshouse]

Perhaps these veterans should join the organization open carry

[MrMaybeimdreaming]

WTF?! Did the police attack you?!

[ceomeye]

Most of those pigs on horseback are the most cowards you can find on any place. Put them in Iraq or in any other war and they will shoot themselves first before embracing victory..thats how most cops within the entire U.S would act.. The only reason they do what what they do is because the Nazi system backs them up..take out the backup nazi system and certainly they will run away like cockroaches to light...

[ceomeye]

all veterans after and the INVASIONS OF IRAQ, palestine, Latin America Invasions, Haiti, and Planet need to majorily refuse and see what these elite cowards do... They will certainly come after anybody when refusal to act, but then if they want a war, the war needs to be turned against the elite to show them how other people feel because certainly they have lost their humanity...make their families bleed to bring them back from their monster lands...

[ltramd]

POG POG POG POG POG you got knocked the f*%&# out!!!

[liOVERLOADil]

Fuck that coward little bitch. Got what he deserved.

[lysel3]

Wow, Now there's a good example of a "freedom loving, Constitution supporting, "law abiding" Patriot, eh?! ... where do people like YOU breed, & how DARE YOU make a statement like that!?

YOU ARE THE COWARD ... WHILE YOU SIT ON YOUR FAT ASS, STUFFING YOUR FACE, WATCHING "REALITY" TV , INDULGING IN PORN - these young men (& women) served in the military which has betrayed them, along with a corrupt POLICE STATE!

SHAME ON YOU! I look forward to the day YOU & YOUR KIND get what YOU deserve!

[liOVERLOADil]

I suppose my current military service doesn't count for anything, or my first hand perspective of a military which I suppose is betraying me at this very moment. As a war vet I have met a lot of different personalities, and in that time I've developed a sixth sense in regards to them. My experience tells me that Matt Chiroux is a coward little bitch and deserted the military to avoid his deployment because he was afraid. Deserter is synonymous with coward -- in this case, a coward little bitch.

[lysel3]

It takes MORE courage, MORALS & SENSE to say "NO", when your government BETRAYS YOU & sends you to an UNJUST WAR, to LINE THE POCKETS OF THE WAR PROFITEERS!

Your "experience" appears to be "Sir, Yes Sir", without ANY THOUGHT! So, your "current military service" counts for ONE thing - It shows you are "good" at following orders . . .

There were quite a few "good" Nazis at Nuremburg too, who said "they were only following orders"! It didn't let them off the hook!

Bush/Cheney didn't serve!

[liOVERLOADil]

Nazis huh... Well, we know who won this argument. Are you always such a bleeding heart, or do you choose issues to lose your mind over based on however the wind blows? Look up Godwin's law by the way. Thanks for playing.

[lysel3]

No winning or losing here, but a discussion of the issues. I am NOT a liberal; I loathe them as much as I do the neoCONS! All a bunch of GUTLESS cowards, who took our nation into war without just cause! As an independent, I strongly believe in CONSTITUTIONAL rule of LAW, which our nation was founded on!

Following orders without thought makes you a good soldier - NOT a good, decent man, or a moral thinker! It takes courage to say "NO"!

YW, but I wasn't "playing"! War & death is not a game!

[liOVERLOADil]

Bleeding heart is neither liberal or conservative, and your ideas about the military can be pretty much defined as fanatical hyperbole. Whatever source you have for those in the military is extremely construed to the point that it's quite comical. Here's what you need to do: seek out someone who you know for sure is in the military and ask them questions, don't interject, just ask questions. The more you find to ask questions, the better.

I will no longer comment on this dead horse.

[towerclimber37]

@lysel3 Are you kidding? most of these "vets" got in trouble! that's why the "stolen valor" law was passed. because girly men like this guy get dressed up in military fatigues and then try to pass themselves off as soldiers.

and now it comes out that this guy is a deserter. LOL! sweet!

as for the day when this guy and "his kind" (that would be ME by the way) get what we deserve? that'll never happen. you fruit cups are nuts, but you're not crazy enough to kill yourselves.

[lysel3]

@towerclimber37 Hi there ... After doing a whole lot more research & meeting with returning Iraq War veterans who are in FAVOR of the war, I have come to a totally different conclusion. Much of what I "believed" has changed. Islam is determined to "rule the world" -- we are fighting for the very survival of Western civilization & preservation of our freedoms. And our troops are keeping the battlefield over there to protect us over here.

Yup, I WAS WRONG! The Left is destroying the USA!

[towerclimber37]

@lysel3 Hang in there! I'm wrong quite often. I take my lumps when I am. (kinda like this fruit cup). I'm glad that your eyes have been opened.

Stay safe.

[lysel3]

@towerclimber37 Yeah, unfortunately, our media is in cahoots with those hell bent on destroying our nation. They are hiding the agenda of the enemy, & keeping important information from the American people. When I tell people that we now have Sharia courts in the US, they say I'm wrong. I give them the address (in Texas) & #s & they're like, "I didn't know that". CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) is suing Oklahoma for their ban on Sharia courts, which was approved by the voters!

[GlobalPunditOrg]

@lysel3 i don't think ANYONE here would be in favour of Sharia law! -including almost 99% of Muslims-a Sharia court's a very different thing & is as outdated and effective as witch burning,OR Commie Hunting..i don't think anyone wld argue that you're right 2 bring this 2the att: of yr State legislature & have it addressed-

& Sahria in Oklahoma is just wrong - JUST as is painting an entire religion and culture with one brush. Like, say,Manifest Destiny & Islam parallels?Andrew Jackson anyone?

[lysel3]

@GlobalPunditOrg You wrote: "Sharia in Oklahoma is just wrong - JUST as is painting an entire religion and culture with one brush. "

The "religion" -- which is actually a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY masquerading as a "religion" & the "culture" IS the problem!

When muslims FAIL to acknowledge THAT THERE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES with islam & when they RIOT & THREATEN VIOLENCE over something so TRIVIAL as a "CARTOON" -- THEY PAINT THEMSELVES AS THE LUNATICS THEY ARE!

There isn't enough DISSENT in islam!

[GlobalPunditOrg]

@lysel3 you're right -there sure is plenty of proper dissent in Christianity (*coughCatholicPriestscough*) etc., and btw, the Protestant Work Ethic was also, um,what was the term you used? -" a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY masquerading as a "religion" "etc?

It's amazing how u can fail 2find parallels in other 'ideologies' & 'religions'. Ethnocentric?

I was happy to make acknowledgements to certain points but now that I realize your ability to apply reason is puddle deep, I can save my time. Adieu

[lysel3]

@GlobalPunditOrg The fact that you KNOW about the problems within Catholicism & that the issues are being addressed SUPPORTS MY POINT! I don't recall Catholics taking to the streets & RIOTING because "their religion was being 'insulted' ..." I don't recall the Pope or any Bishops/Archbishops issuing "edicts" (Fatwahs) to kill anyone who spoke out against the abuses of the Catholic Church! Nor were there calls to "bomb" anyone who expressed strong views on the cover up by the Catholic Church!

[lysel3]

@GlobalPunditOrg Your "ethnocentric" jibe is GOOFY! When muslims "take criticism" without threat of violence, those criticisms will be greatly reduced. But as long as film makers (Theo van Gogh) are MURDERED for making a film critical of islam, with a "note" pinned to his chest with a KNIFE, threatening Ayaan Ali Hirsi for HER criticism; or cartoon artists have to go into hiding, then the point I make is VALID!

BTW -- You wouldn't recognize a puddle if you fell into it!

[candiceevans1]

this is a fucking disgrace,,,the usa is a gangster mafia style fucking terror state,,,we need to do something about the Bush, Gore, kissinger rockafellar fucking crew of elite trash,,,nothing but rich trash,,,poor white trash that got lucky killing jews in ww2

[JamminJemm]

It is OBVIOUS that horse stepped on him! HOW CAN THAT BE UNDETERMINED INJURY!!! It amazes me what the LAW will do sometimes.

[mrjustin5]

JamminJemm - It is extremely obvious. It makes me squirm in disgust and shock to see someones face being stepped on by a horse. I've lived around horses my whole life and they are huge, powerful and HEAVY animals. This poor guy is lucky he as alive.

Just like with the G-20 in pittsburgh with sound weapons (LRAD) they'll blast people, stomp on them with horses or in the future, blast them with microwave weapons and it will all be "justified". No courts will convict the police = tyranny.

[jmelkis]

Yeah, I'm seeing the evidence right here. Tell me that's photoshopped!

[PeaceFighter68]

no photoshopping there - i know the reporter who covered it and did the interview - Stephen Dohnberg - he's one of the honest journalists who get screwed out of jobs because he tells the truth.

He's making Documentary Films now though - some good ones are on their way.

[jmelkis]

I agree. I didn't think it was photoshopped. It doesn't look photoshopped. That was my point.

[taoistcowboy123]

Somewhat ironically, police are toughest on returning vets, those that struggle to adjust or are homeless.

[davidgrahamscott]

This surely cannot be right!!

[GlobalPunditOrg]

sadly its the way it is. check out some of the other footage from both the conventions. police violence reminiscent of the most police-statey police state. witessing it was something else. and i covered both in 2000,2004, and 2008 - worst year yet.

[davidgrahamscott]

Damn them for that..the fascist police state is alive and well!!

[polidic]

@GlobalPunditOrg The Government is out of control

[TheIronicBanana]

@GlobalPunditOrg What where you guys protesting?

[GlobalPunditOrg]

@TheIronicBanana I was reporting - the IVAW (veterans) just wanted to ask one question of each of the Candidates - McCain & Obama - at the final presidential debate at Hofstra U, Long Island. If you listen to the full interview you'll hear the great pains all the protestors went through to ensure no violence occurred. However, the police made sure it did.

[softcooked]

why are so few people interested in this - do they not realize whta the implications are?

ignoring this is pure folly. don't we understand history or the role of the constitution?

[jmelkis]

They aren't told about it. They don't know even know where to look.

[thehayseed]

that was total brutality on the part of the police. easy to see. kudos to the reporter, i-witness video, globalpundit, and the vets for keeping the issue a public one.

[ThePublicPundit]

power to the vets. peace.

[seyoumeye]

if you really want to fight the corrupted systems, just STOP CONSUMING EN LARGE!

[ceomeye]

What can I say...Amerca does not care about war veterans because war is not about being a hero or defending freedoms. its about the might dollar. War is profits and money for the corporations and wicked politicians...wake up!!

[jmelkis]

War is a Racket
