SLUGS, BULLIES, ENEMIES
Truthers seethe over the removal of lies:
Virgin Airlines have pulled Loose Change from their in-flight movie roster after a cadre of Neo-Con slugs, bullies and enemies of free speech sent threatening complaints to the company, smearing the documentary ...
Whoa! They’re in a truthy rage:
These kinds of Gestapo tactics will not stop!
The Gestapo were way advanced in the art of internet complaint. Why, via a MySpace campaign they once stopped Vera Lynn songs being broadcast on Belgian radio.
UPDATE. A comment at 911blogger.com:
Personally, I don’t like to fly and I definitely wouldn’t want to see planes crashing into buildings while I’m riding in a plane. If they show it after the plane landed that would be fine.
Also, Rebecca H. objects to the term “Neo-Con slugs”:
That’s Mrs. Neo-Con Slug to you, Mr. Truthypants.
“Virgin Airlines have pulled Loose Change from their in-flight movie roster after a cadre of Neo-Con slugs, bullies and enemies of free speech sent threatening complaints to the company . . .”
Returns to hideout with cronies, who toss crow-bars, machetes, bicycle chains and knives in strong box.
Nice work, boys! Next week: Code Pink! By the way, anybody got a copy of the Bill of Rights? I want to clean the blood off of my nija death stars.
First we had the sly and cynical Dectective Paco, now we see the fiendish and deadly Paco the Ninja. The world asks in wonder, what will that mystery man do next?
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 05 04 at 01:15 PM • permalinkPeople really need to learn the difference between a company responding to customer complaints and state action to force them.
At very least, if he’s intent on Godwinising, he should compare to the SA bully-boys, not the Gestapo.
(Though even then, the SA were centrally organised and directed to do things by the Party.
Bloggers calling despicable lies despicable lies and telling Virgin they’ll lose customers if they spread them? Not quite the same as High Command telling the stormtroopers to break some windows and beat people in the streets.)
Dame Vera Lynn probably did more to keep up the spirit and morale of Britishers during the dark days of WW2 than anyone except Winston Churchill.

No, it isn’t: according to the moonbat left-wing fringe, it’s worse.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 05 04 at 02:35 PM • permalinkWe need to be thinking way more creatively, way more strategically, and be WAY MORE VOCAL, ACTIVE, AND AGGRESSIVE. (Aggressive in spreading information, not in any threatening way.)
First ... The ... CUSHIONS!
Cheers

I really don’t know what to say about this…

Does anybody here even remember Vera Lynn?
If that’s the gal in White Christmas who performs dance skits with Danny Kaye, while wearing dance outfits that show off her long slender legs ...
YES.

A Reich winger.

No, that was the tiny-waisted Vera-Ellen. Great little dancer.
Good call by Virgin. Still won’t be flyin’ them though.
One of the truthers remarked that these are indeed strange times, a battle for reality. I agree and suggest it’s a battle for which they are ill-equipped.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 05 04 at 05:27 PM • permalinkBlogalog : for a second, I thought you were channelling Pink Floyd:
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?My parents had some Vera Lynn records, and as a child, I remember there were still some V2 craters near where I lived. I watched “All our yesterdays” on ITV(Granada), recounting the events of “25 years ago”.
I can remember watching a safety film at about 3 years of age - how to recognise land mines, which in 1961 still sometimes were found on British beaches, laid only 20 years earlier.
I feel that is why many of my generation have an aversion to the likes of Saddam Hussein, and do not go for “Peace at Any Price”. We see Islamism, the goose-stepping Judenhass of Hamas, and we gather our children and grandchildren closer while reaching for our guns. Aryan Superiority, Muslim Superiority, the end result is the same: bombs on peaceful cities, conquest and mass death.
We may make different mistakes this time, but we have no excuse for making the same ones again.Against my better judgment, I decided to read the whole article. I’m glad I did; it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on the Internet, sort of the textual equivalent of the rabid guy who grabs you on the street, spewing vodka fumes and BO into your face, and shouts about THEY’RE ALL OUT TO GET ME, ALL THE ALIENS AND CAN I HAVE A QUARTER.
From one of the geniuses in the comments section:
I think a double header of LC3 and 9/11 Mysteries should be mandatory in flight viewing personally.
That revealed the whole plot. Given that Truthers seem to also be global warmenists, this proves that it’s all a giant conspiracy to reduce carbon emissions by shutting down the airlines. If people know they’re going to watch crap like “Loose Change,” they’ll take anything—train, bus, rickshaw—to avoid it.
I have to report to His Glorious Capitalist, the grand master Rove. I hope he will be pleased with his slave’s work.
Posted by Tungsten Monk on 2007 05 04 at 07:53 PM • permalinkLet’s see: They’re bitchin’ because the market said NO! to that crap, the company responded to complaints by pulling said crap, and that makes it a part of the VRWC of Neo-Con gestapo slugs. BUT forcing a captive audience on a plane to watch “a double header of LC3 and 9/11 Mysteries [by making it] mandatory in flight viewing” is the height of reason. Yep. They’re right. It is a fight for reality.

neocon is in fact a term for “joooos” who fell off the reservation (not Democrats anymore) Although the leftards anymore call any conservative under the age of 40 a “neocon”

A VRWC minion’s work is simply never done. This is fortunate as it provides employment for senior VRWC minions like me. And meals for Howard the Enceladan.Now, WHO is on punishment roster this week? O-ho! Well, he deserves it. Polishing henchman Paco’s ninja death stars with a brush made from his own nasal hairs, presently being carefully plucked from him by an apprentice VRWC torturer will be a suitable thing indeed. After all, we have not yet finished making the chamois cloths from the skin flayed from him so he can polish the Henchmans bar-top.
Minion 134593845, fetch dear mister ‘boxofmatches’. We have a task for what is left of him.

Minionmeister to the VRWCYou should all be ashamed of youreselves! All you have done is stifled free speech and the the freedom of expression. It’s not about the marketplace and a company responding to complaints, it’s about the systematic degradation of society into the Neo-con fantasy land where you are not free to communicate your personally held beliefs or ideals. Where freedom of speech is gone and with it your own freedom to communicate whenever and however you choose! I say to all you Neo-con slugs out there stop communicating with Virgin by email immediately!!!
With the help of a Canadian progressive newspaper, I’ve figured out what Paco has been up to:
North American Union manifesto demonstrates ideological ties to new form of Nazism
Manipulative Extraterrestrials influenced Adolf Hitler, scholars suggest
Catastrophic Climate change very evident for travellers to Argentina
Posted by Art Vandelay on 2007 05 04 at 11:30 PM • permalinkWe didn’t see a bunch of “bully boys” in action - we saw the market in action.
Branson simply sniffed the wind and decided that showing the movie would gain him no customers, but possibly lose him some. Net result - ditch the film. If he thought people would flock to his airline to watch the film, it would be played non-stop on every channel on the plane.
Why would it lose him customers?
The type of people that want to watch this kind of movie probably don’t fly, given that they believe aircraft exhaust is going to boil the planet. Or they aren’t making enough money from producing hemp shirts to afford a ticket to anywhere.
The kind of people that don’t believe this conspiracy tripe are probably also the type that don’t believe in global warming, so are happy to commute across the Atlantic on a weekly basis and to hell with the penguins.
I wonder if we can now convince Branson to show “The great global warming swindle” in its place.
Posted by mr creosote on 2007 05 04 at 11:37 PM • permalinkI hope everyone realizes that Vera Lynn is still alive. She’s 90 but she’s still alive. I don’t know anything of her concert schedule, though. :)
The Truthers need a great artist like Whiny Riefenstahl to tell their story…

Anyone but you Tim, and I’d be sure it was a joke.
Don’t these people realise how unstable they seem?
