Guardian Blog Hijacked by US (Army) Morons

[BeautifulBurnout]

Sarcasmo, if you know any of these guys (http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/news/2008/06/floating_prisons.html), can you make sure and go and kick their butts for them til they bleed? :D

Seriously, though... I was really taken aback by the rhetoric spouted on this newsblog. Not what we nice euro libtards expect from our newspaper site of choice.

All joking apart, I think the best post (aside from my own, of course ;) ) was BraininSampa: Hey Leroy, Chronic etc.. Thanks for keeping up the good work keeping the entire rest of the world hating us Americans. Thanks to upstanding citizens like yourself, the rest of the world now thinks all Americans are racist and zenophobic paranoids. I for one, personally enjoyed seeing you hold Sadam Husain's old friend Donald Rumsfield up as a paradigm of virtue - someone qualified to decide who is good or bad.. F$*%& Yeah! Go Torture!!!

Just to reassure people, I don't hate Americans. I hate evil-thinking moronic bigots, no matter what nationality they are.

We're holding these scumbags on ships?
Several that we released from Gitmo went to Iraq and became suicide bombers.
IE did this really happen or did he find this out by eavesdropping on x owl and meow meow cat in the land of make believe?

This is from today's Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-worthington/identification-of-ex-guan_b_101190.html) - referring to a Washington Times article. Now, call me a cynic, but isn't it bizarre that this story should break on the same day as the Prison Boats story? :rolleyes:

A pure coincidence. :rolleyes:

Incidentally, what's with the influx of right-wing Americans frequenting the Guardian/CiF these days? It's enough to make a man choke on his fair-trade walnut and elderberry Muesli...

Of course, seeing it is the Gunardian - this slew of morans (http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2008/5/20/21950/7576/782#c782) should come as no surprise.

Organic free-trade elder-berry muesli or not. :D

On a second viewing - I'm even more impressed by the grasp of punctuation on display.

but you all you need to know about comments on blogs are found in comments on youtube

Ressurecting this old thread as I am astounded lately at the slew of American Republican comments on the same English newspaper site, The Guardian.

It strikes me that, irrespective of McCain's ability to use a computer ;), there is a full-on Republican campaign to attack any and all negative media commentary about McCain and Palin and, similarly, to support any positive reporting by spamming the comments sections on their websites.

Jonathan Freedland had the temerity to suggest that if the US missed the chance to vote in Obama, the rest of the world would lose respect for them in this (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/sep/10/uselections2008.barackobama) article on Wednesday. 771 comments later, for the most part right-wing rant and derision of us hapless "yurpeans", the thread was locked.

On the other hand, the fulsome praise for this (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/gerard_baker/article4677799.ece) article in The Times bordered at times on the nauseating.

Why are the Republicans so concerned about the views from our "small island"? Do they genuinely think that their own electorate is likely to even read what is written in UK newspapers, much less be influenced in their vote by it? Secondly, where do all these people get the time to spam all these threads? Or are there other forces at work, employing people to do just that?

Maybe they have targetted The Guardian for special treatment because of their rather daft attempt to influence voters in Clark County (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/oct/18/uselections2004.usa2), Ohio, in the 2004 elections. Funny how they would be so scared of them, though, if the writing campaign failed as miserably as they alleged. I would have thought they would want to positively encourage another one if that was the case. :p

I have to say (as I posted on another hijacked article last night) a great many of these posters remind me of Otto in A Fish Called Wanda - shallow pseudo-intellectualism barely masking ignorance, bigotry and hatred of us Brits and our non-Hollywood wonky teeth. :D

There do seem to be a lot of them commenting below Graun articles/blogs these days.

Always desperate to project toughness over anything else - notice how many times you read the word "wimp" or see Obama referred to as "girly", or hear their obsession with "beating the enemy".

I mean, Christ, do these morons have tiny dicks or something?

I swear, I can't get away with anything.

jOHN, you little devil, you! :D

They have migrated to The Times now - and boy do we have some first rate nutters posting comments on this one (http://timesonline.typepad.com/uselections/2008/09/palin-linked-el.html).

I can't remember ever being so shit-scared about the outcome of an American election, frankly. God forbid she gets anywhere near the White House, if these people are indicative of the American electorate.

Edit: sorry, wrong link. Fixed now.

its not like americans are switching from nascar to catching up on the guardian. I think you're seeing these inundations because of portals like drudgereport.com who introduce the articles with captions like "look what the drive by liberal media is barking about now!"

Edit: sorry, wrong link. Fixed now.Frightening article. And I bet we'll hear nothing about it in the US mainstream media. Maybe on the Daily Show...
