Javier, buddy, if I’m a “libtard” does that make you a “conservative neo-nazi fascist pig”?
If you can’t write an intelligent article without name calling, you then have absolutely no business trying to assume the mantle of being a “journalist”.
Walter Cronkite you ain’t and don’t have a prayer of ever being!!
so him not being or never going to be walter cronkite means that he shouldn’t be listened to? or is it the fact that he doesn’t see things the way you do?
Paco, buddy, Walter Cronkite didn’t insult his viewers or readers, ever. The man had integrity, something that those who insult other give up.
If you can’t make a point without having to hurl insults to try to make it, you shouldn’t have tried to make the point in the first place.
You folks are so rude and crude that it amazes me.
There is no reason to be mean or nasty in politics.
Intelligence trumps rudeness every time although it seems that you folks don’t quite believe that.
Sure he did, Rich. Cronkite is the one who spun the Test offense as a loss for the US and not as the devastating loss it was for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.
But he didn’t insult anyone by calling them foolish names, did he?
Besides, he was right!!
We didn’t win that war because the South Viet Namese government was corrupt and didn’t have the true backing of the people.
Why do people who support Fascism call conservatives Nazi and fascist?
Because they are!!
Were Hitler or Stalin liberal or progressive??
No, they were conservatives.
Has there ever been a government termed “liberal” or “progressive” that put its’ citizens to death?
No, they were conservative regimes, thank you.
Stalin and Hitler? Progressives to a fault. Not a bit conservative. And while they are not congruent, many of their goals, programs and policies mirror those of today’s ‘Progressives’.
Rich will not agree. Of course. He lives in a Humpty-Dumpty world where words means just what he wants them to mean, no more and no less.
For instance.
Under Stalin all industry belonged to the state. That would be ‘socialism’.
Under Hitler all industry acted as ordered by the state, though they were nominally ‘private’. That would be the variation of ‘socialism’ called ‘National Socialism’.
Under Mussolini nothing was allowed outside of the state. That was the variation of ‘socialism’ called ‘fascism’.
All of these movements were organized by advocates of the oppressed workers who suffered under the tyranny of capitalism.
All ‘Progressives’ to a fault, both in their analysis of the problems faced by workers and in their solutions.
A typical response from a ” LIBTARD “. Thanks for your article. Always know that an attack from a ” COMMIE LIBTARD ” is a compliment. They are always accusing us of exactly what they are up to. I have learned a lot from this ” COMMIE ADMINISTRATION “. THANKS.
You folks are sure sensitive!!
All I did was chastise Mr, Manjerrez for writing an insulting article. There’s no need to call names like children in the school yard. I understand that those of limited intellect respond to that, but there’s still no need to have to call names.
If you can’t make your point in a thoughtful manner, one had no business trying to be a “journalist” or even a paid political hack like Mr. Manjerrez is.
By the way, buddy, how do you know that I’m a “commie”.
I happen to despise the “commies”.
It just so happens that they slaughtered my ancestors to take over their farms back during the revolution, so, you neo-con fascist nazi pig, don’t you ever insinuate that I am a communist again.
It is amazing how you folks just have to put a label of some sort on everything. I guess it’s how your conservative masters keep you all afraid so you’ll be obedient to the neo-con line even though it is not in most American’s best interests to do so.
Rich, SO you reserve name calling for yourself only! Typical Liberal approach just like calling anyone who disagrees with you Racists. I’ve always heard it said it takes on to know one.
The point of this article was that Congressman West served his country honorably on the battlefield (did you?). He does not preach hate. He issues warnings against Muslim Extremism. You know, the guys that behead reporters, mutilate little girls, stone women and preach jihad against ALL Non-Muslims. SO, are you one? Is that why you stand against a patriot like Allen West?!
Thanks Jacqueline – like you I focused on the story – which is priceless. I am so proud that Allen West comes from Florida. Honestly, the only $$ political donations I have ever made was to him, he makes me so proud of our military.
I say let Javier be Javier!
I was never called to serve. Did you serve?
Look, I criticized Mr. Manjerrez, the felon, for name calling which no serious journalist should ever do and you all are writing so much more into it.
I have never seen more thinskinned people in all my days!!
A felon? Again look who is a hypocrite? See below of Rich’s previous post! Too Funny! Rich just shows us how the Democrats loose control whenever they are confronted to speak to facts.

You wouldn’t think it to be so cute if you had a learning disabled, or “retarded” child now would you?
You are obviously an insensitive ass.
When you can debate a point on its’ merits without name calling, talk to me. Until then, go crawl back under your rock.
Rich, you would do well to remember that it has been clinically proven that Liberalism is a mental disorder and you have proven it by your rants.
Lady, what makes you believe that “conservatives” are so perfect?
If liberal leaning folks are so mentally disturbed, why are so many of the country’s finest educators of liberal/progressive stock?
Of course, if you believe that Earth is only 5,000 years old, you will disagree with me.
If all that is true, Rich, then you should be one of us. We are facing the same kind of revolutionaries. Obama’s buddy the bomber Bill Ayers had ambitions of establishing a Gulag right here in America. Do I think Obama would send me there if he could? Yep. He says I am the enemy and there is historical precedent for what these people do with their enemies. And he is ‘uncomfortable’ being restrained by our other institutions.
Now. How should we describe a person, such as yourself, who obviously has a working brain but somehow comes to moon-bat crazy conclusions? Insane? Deluded? Crazy? Would that be insulting the insane? Javier used the expression ‘libtard’, and you object to the portion of the word derived from the word ‘retard’. (Dang but you are sensitive. Reminds me of a black friend who objected to the word ‘jig’, even though it properly describes both a tool and a dance.) ‘Retard’ means something which slows down or stops a process. In a railroad yard the motion of rail cars rolling free off a hump is controlled by ‘retarders’. So, people whose brains have stopped working are neatly described by joining two words which describe their politics and it’s effect on their thinking. Hence, ‘libtard’. You is one, buddy. Wear the badge proudly.
POOR RICH isn’t that an oxymoron!
But true it is . . . poor Rich. While basking in the freedom to sell our Democratic Republic down the river, Poor Rich takes the podium and
blabbers drivel to anyone who will listen.
Put your credentials up Poor Rich, compare them with an American Soldier who was so honest as to let it be known what he had to do that encouraged the individual to spill the beans and consequently save the lives of many. For his actions Poor Rich, I commend Colonel West for his patriotism. For you, I wonder if you ever considered the fact that you very well could have been one of those on any of the four aircraft that hit the towers, Pentagon, or ground on the morning of September 11th? I’m glad Colonel West was there and not you, who knows what chain of events might have occurred were you there with your PC pompous attitude.
Thank you Colonel West, May God Bless You Sir and have a Very Merry Christmas!
Don
Don, you moron, can’t you read?
All I did was complain about the quality of the journalism.
You’re off on some ridiculous tangent here.
My complaint is that a responsible journalist does not write using insulting terms like you folks seem to enjoy. Responsible journalists do not stoop to name calling to make a point.
If your argument is that weak that the only way you can make it is to have to insult people, you shouldn’t have made the argument in the first place.
Take your insults and foolishness and go home.
Rich, you just don’t get it.People come here to read Javier’s articles – not to read you critique his ability. The articles are here for you to debate the content. If you can’t focus on that – then you go home.
The man has no ability if he has to call names to make a point.
Can you grasp that concept?
Serious journalism and serious debate has no room for name calling. That is childish and shows a lack of writing ability and a weakness of he argument.
Rich – how old are you?
Colonel West you are a hero and I salute you everyday you represent our district. I remember what your former opponent has done for us in the past, which is nothing but go along with his own party. He would never think on his own and was a guaranteed vote for his part on every issue. I respect the fact that you speak your mind and will continue to rally the folks in our district to support you in every way.
Thank you and thank you for the way you govern, so many could learn from you. I feel blessed I have the opportunity.
I urge any democrat to you tube Colonel West and his opponent and judge for yourself who best has the people in mind. I vote west.

STEAD-fast and loyal.

Rich. If you call me a ‘Republican’ are you calling names? Or are you just describing me? The article uses the word ‘libtard’ to describe a type of hysterical left-winger. I assume it is made up from ‘liberal’ and ‘retard’. I think it is kind of cute.
And btw. Cronkite had no integrity. I never believed his spin on events.

hahaha Look who is name calling? What a hypocrite?!
Who did I call a “name”
You’re the one who couldn’t make his point without resorting to name calling.
I know that you’re pandering to the least common denominator here, but if you’re ever to try to claim the name “journalist” for yourself, you have to work on making an intelligent argument without being insulting.
You know, we have serious problems in our country and serious people are needed to solve them who can think and speak rationally without seeking to inflame emotions through silly rhetoric. It seems that conservatives have some insane contest to see who can be cruder like the way your lovely readers are always commenting on how ugly then perceive Rep Wasserman Schultz to be. That kind of crap has no place in a serious political discussion.
Now you’re helping to set the bar lower instead of higher.
Allen West is an American hero!!!! He saved the lives of his men in Iraq, if it was your son or daughter that he saved would you feel the same way about LT West!!! The liberals don’t seem to get it!!!! and Walter Cronkite said many things he should have….All these liberal journalists, need to go back to school. They are supposed to report the news, not put their spin on anything. In fact, they should have been in the war on the front lines, and then see what they have to say…..I am sure it will be much different….Merry Christmas to Mr. West and his family….you have my vote for President if you decide to run….
Great Article !!! Any Republican who speaks up is either arrogant, racist, or uninformed.
Rich, I note that you never did respond to the actual CONTENT of Javier’s article – only some of his descriptive terms.
At last!!
Someone on this site who understood reading comprehension!!
I commend you for paying attention in school.
I enjoyed your article Javier.
Yeah. You are so right. ‘Libtards’ are about as cute as ticks.
I never make fun of people who are learning disabled. Those of you who have brains and fail to use them, well, you are fair game.
this was response to Rich, about 3 posts above.
Why’s that?
I’m stupid because I disagree with you?
Gee, buddy, it seems to me that disagreeing with you elevates one to Einsteinian status!!
You’re all falling for the conservative drivel.
Big business and the wealthiest Americans don’t need you to shill for them. They’ve already bought the government. You’re tea party pals in the Congress have already sold out to big business to gain donations/bribes to keep their cushy jobs with the “cadillac” benefit plans that they want YOU AND ME to give up!!
Why aren’t you on them to lead by example??
Is the good Mr. West going to “double dip” and take two pensions at OUR expense? Find the answer to that one for me, OK?
Know what, if you had a learning disabled child, or “retarded” child, you sure wouldn’t think the term “libtard” was so cute, now would you?
You folks are so clothed in self-righteousness it ain’t funny.
There are several divergent opinions on what this country needs and the solution is somewhere in the middle and folks like you are what’s going to make it difficult to find that solution.
I refer the honorable gentleman to the reply I made to a post of his somewhat above this one.

(how DOES this page organize its comments?)
Sorry I came in late but this whole kerfuffle seems to have grown from one small act. Bottom line is, our friend Rich chose to slam the author rather than present an opposing point of view, a trait that’s hardly rare among libs. If you can’t win the argument (which he obviously can’t) slam and denigrate the author. Well, that kind of behavior, aside from being childish and boorish, just doesn’t work anymore, nor should it. Sorry sir, get with the program or just go away.
See, the whole point is that serious journalists write serious stories without stooping to insults and name calling.
It appalls me when so many people on here make insulting comments about Rep. Wasserman-Schultz looks which God gave her and she really can’t change.
So many of you tout yourselves as good “Christians”. Well, is that what good “Christians” do? Did Jesus ever insult or denigrate the looks of those he disagreed with in the Bible? When Christ cleansed the Temple, did he declare those he evicted as “ugly”? I never read that in the Bible, did you?
It is time for SERIOUS discourse, discussion and arguments, not a bunch of silliness or we’ll never solve this country of ours’ problems.
No Rich. You are stupid because you make stupid statements, such as your post above which claims that both Stalin and Hitler were conservatives. That is just obviously stupid and anyone who makes such a statement is in fact stooopid. And a LIBTARD. Wear the name proudly, you Progressive you!
Merry Christmas!
Not to mention your practice of completely ignoring the substance of the posts to which you respond.
Rich. Must all the railroads re-name their equipment because ‘retard’ can be used as an insult towards a child with learning disabilities? I can’t call an Irish dance a ‘jig’ because some racists use the word to insult black people? Is it possible to open your mind up enough to see that words with the same root are not the same word as the root? And that sometimes the meaning of the word depends on the context? Or, in your case, was God too niggardly when he endowed you with brains? [yeah, 'niggardly'. It means 'stingy' and hasn't a thing to do with race, though many ignorant yahoos have misunderstood it to be so and puffed up in outrage. Like you and the word 'Libtard'.]
You’re playing with words to hide your insensitivity.
If you had a learning disabled or “retarded” child I’ll bet you’d think differently.
My whole point was that to be considered a real “journalist” one should know how to make his point without insulting anyone or calling names like a bunch of 8 year olds in the school yard.
You folks blew it all out of proportion.
You all rise up in your self-righteousness and fail to see my simple point.
Mr. Manjarrez, if you wish to be taken seriously as a “journalist” you must learn to make a point without calling people names to pander to your least common denominator. Otherwise, you’re just a hack, plain and simple.
Rich,
I actually do have a nephew who is autistic. And my daughter is taking her masters in teaching special needs children. I would never use the word ‘retard’ (to slow down or stop a motion) to insult these kids. You, on the other hand, have no excuse for allowing your brain function to be retarded. The insult is there, yes. And it is directed at you and not innocent and guiltless children. You are a ‘Libtard’ because you have allowed your brain functions to be retarded by your ideology.
You’ve gotta be kidding, right?
I’m not a blind adherent to anything. I’ve seen what’s right and wrong on both sides and am smart enough to see it unlike you folks who would gladly and proudly follow Rep West over a cliff if that’s the way he went.
Lt. Col. West isn’t going to be leading his troops over a cliff. He has good judgement. This has been demonstrated, so I trust him.
You, otoh, have said things like:
“Were Hitler or Stalin liberal or progressive??
No, they were conservatives.
Has there ever been a government termed “liberal” or “progressive” that put its’ citizens to death?
No, they were conservative regimes, thank you.”
That leaves a brand on you buddy. And the brand says ‘Libtard’.
