Smear Campaign…Or One Sided Love Affair?
Dopey Lib Has Morrison On The Brain!
“As a future scientist and doctor I am ashamed that Morrison here thinks that all intellectuals are trying to turn this country atheist…”
“I do believe Morrison should be included to this debate and let he, himself, defend his posts and points of view…”
“I suggest you read both and draw up your own plausible conclusions but do not get any of your information from Morrison…”
“But I was also trying to point out how Morrison in a way looks up to this hypocrite…”
“So to you Morrison, quit copying Rush Limbaugh and listening to his opinions verbatim. Think for yourself.”
“Morrison even modified that debate for his own benefit when he clearly lost… “
“Operational Pause is so pretentious…..please Morrison, who are you trying to fool here…”.
“Oh and Morrison you wouldn’t mind unblocking me from AIM???”
(Comments above were posted in the last 5 days)
I usually don’t do this…. I used to believe that posting on such issues was a worthless waste of time..seeing as though..posts like these have no relevance to what’s going on in the world..post like these have no importance..post like these don’t inform anyone of anything… I was completely wrong.
As many of my dedicated readers know.. I don’t comment on my own posts…its sort of a policy…I don’t see the point. Im already an expert on liberalism, there’s not much you lefties can say that will change my view on liberalism..what’s the point of engaging in debate with you? I know what you libs will say, before you say it. I know more about liberalism than you do. This libs who continue to lurk this blog on a daily basis are nothing but wacky lefties who somtimes pose to be libertarians because they are so ashamed of their kooky liberal philosophy…that they have to pretend to be something they are not. Why do they have a problem with me? I do not have great influence on policy, I do not hold a seat in Congress. Im just a 15 year old amateur blogger, but yet these libs cant seem to get enough of me. “Morrison this, Morrison that…”
They actually make me tired of hearing my own name. Im going to tell you why this libs are obsessed with yours truly…they fear me. They fear my ability to report the news, they fear my ability to expose the left and inform people of the level of hypocrisy that exits in the Democratic Party. They want me silenced, they preach about freedom of speech but that’s not what they want. They want us silenced, they want Fox silenced, they want the liberal mainstream press reporting the news so Americans are forced to accept liberal ideologies.
My favorite comment from this dope…
Dopey Lib: “Before you go on in your smear campaign try to realize this, I am a liberal and I support the war, I am an exception to your rule Morrison.”
A liberal who supports the war? *sigh* The left has become so confused, so misguided, they don’t even know where they stand on the issues anymore. You don’t support the war, you’re a liberal, you comment on this blog everyday about how “out of touch” republicans are..on how “bias, slanted and uninformed” republicans are and you have the audacity to come on this blog and announce you are a liberal who supports the war. *sigh* Look, you don’t support the war, because you don’t support the President. You support a party that doesn’t support the war, you supported a presidential candidate who didn’t support the war. Are you honestly going to tell me you don’t support the people who made this war possible but you support the war? What kind of idiot are you? What kind of person believes in a war effort but preaches hatred about those who made the effort possible? I can not believe you actually had the audacity to come on this blog and announce your support of the war. I really cant believe it. You are confused, you don’t know what you are. You are so confused about your political affiliation..one day you’re a lib, one day you’re a libertarian, and now you announce your support of a war effort, a war effort that goes against everything the left stands for. You are a perfect example, a perfect example of what the left has become. I really am interested in why you support this war. It’s not fear of weapons of mass destruction reaching the hands of an evil dictator, its not fear of people like Saddam harboring and aiding terrorism, its not fear of Islamic extremists gaining power in the Middle East region…because the people who you do not dare criticize don’t see those as threats towards this country. You are confused, its common. Many people (not me of course) second guess their political affiliation and ideology…its common. You’ll grow out of it.

Oh yeah, I’m quivering in awe of your amazing power, Mike.
You are seriously missing something. You can be a liberal (or a conservitive for that matter) and disagree with some of what they usually stand for. I support Bush and am a republican, but I do not agree with Bush on everything. For example I am for gay marrage. That does not make me a liberal because I take the liberal veiw on one issue. It’s vise versa for your wacky lib up there, he can agree with Bush on a few things and still be a liberal. It is rare to find a liberal that is for the war, as most moderates are agaisnt it, but they do exist. Very few people agree with Bush, Kerry, or any other politician 100%. And you really should post on your own xanga. The point is rebutteling your opponents instead of ignoring them. If you were really all that smart and supperior, you would rebuttel and defeat your opponents in debates here. Instead, you act like you are too smart to respond to these people. Liberals bother me a lot too, but I still will debate with them. Your arrogence is realy starting to bother me.
Morrison, I agree with you 100%.
Excellent points Italini. Mike chooses not to engage in debates or directly respond to the ongoing dialogue because when he does, it certainly doesn’t end well for him (ie the recent debate in which he was clearly outmatched…whereafter he edited the text to create the illusion of victory). Once you get past the empty rhetoric and mindless headlines (probably stolen from Drudge or other sites), there really isn’t a whole lot there.
Expert on liberalism? How about expert on Morrisonism? I think everyone who reads your posts essentially knows what you are going to have to say before it even arrives. I anticipated your “intelligent design” post two weeks ago when it made the cover of Time Magazine. Although the debate that arises out of your postings is sometimes constructive (thanks to those “wacky libs” such as Neolibertarian and, if you choose to identify him as such, Altshiftdelete), the postings themselves reek of nothing more than the mindless rants of someone who identifies themselves by party affiliation rather than the sort of informed individual who can see the mistakes and hiccups that exist in every party’s line, in every politician’s record.
You are just a fifteen year old, and that is why it is all forgiven – you still have time to cease being a moron, unlike many before you. But I still dobut that you will seize the opportunity to do so. It is, after all, easier to ignore and dismiss anyone with a differing opinion as being a “wacky lib.” Perhaps we should afford you the same courtesy by assigning you some pejorative nickname to sum up your ill conceived political ideals?
A nickname for Morrisonism would be excellent, I’m reminded of Dan Savage’s success with Santorum.
Yes…I fear you. [/sarcasm]
It’s hard to go anywhere online these days without finding some upstart still in high school kid who thinks that the government is always right. Such is the power of propaganda.
youre right on Morrison… if you damn liberals hate him so much..why are you always on his blog? keep up the good work Morrison!!
I certainly agree that whoever is against the President cannot honestly say he/she is FOR the WAR.
Without even trying to brave the content, I will say that it IS his blog; he can write whatever he likes.
Oh … goodness. I think I’m hawking the first amendment. Well, that’s the beginning of the end.
*Hovers near apocalypse button*
I try to avoid labelling people, as in “liberals” and “conservatives”. Especially seeing how the classical definition of each term hardly jibes with the current ideology expressed today under its banner. Then there are the folk who like to call themselves “libertarian” but with little true understanding of the term, tend to be nihilists in disguise.
True conservatives believe that traditions and values are important in society, they believe in individual responsibility over entitlement, and small, fiscally accountable government. True liberals believe that human progression necessitates reform, and tend to be more accepting of new and different ideas. They also believe that a fair and just society includes aid to those less fortunate, which necessitates large, and often fiscally unbalanced government.
What I see now, is that conservatives have embraced many ideas that were formerly considered liberal (the neocons), and have progressed their ideology through intellectual debate and research. Many people calling themselves liberals, on the other hand, are either socialists/Marxists, or the collective lemmings that have massed themselves upon popular bandwagons, from which they hurl insults, and shriek at everyone who does not agree with them. I find a real bumper sticker mentality in many claiming to be liberals today; that is, sloganism suffices for individual thought and reason. We really do a disservice to true liberals by lumping this current crop in with them. They are numerous enough to deserve an appellation of their own, and I think the one of “moonbat” is an appropriate one.
There is good reason to engage in debate with a true liberal, or libertarian, or conservative. There is none whatsoever in arguing with moonbats, since when confronted with logic, or reason, or research, simply resort to their favorite ploy of jeering and name calling. The latter has well served the socialists masquerading as liberals for some time now, under the guise of ”social engineering”, but luckily, folks are starting to wake up to the oppressive and self serving nature of this tactic, and are becoming more and more impervious to it.

“A nickname for Morrisonism would be excellent, I’m reminded of Dan Savage’s success with Santorum.”
Success? no one knows about it except for you.. lol..
Santorum
I hear that … being multi-lingual is such a curse … at least you scramble up Romantic languages, I once started counting to ten in Russian during French class, on accident, and they aren’t even the same alphabet …
ok still nobody knows about it…
Maybe you’re just profoundly ignorant.
I’m on the same page with italini, despite his/her total rapage of the way the word ‘rebuttal’ is supposed to be used. I don’t see the point of having a blog if you’re not going to defend your position by commenting on your own posts, unless of course you’re incapable of doing so. NeoLibertarian just so happens to be a Libertarian, because that’s what he is. He used to be a liberal, but in trying to figure out just what he was (as I am doing now), he discovered he was more of a libertarian, and that’s how a liberal can be a libertarian without trying to disguise their ‘kooky liberal philosophy’. You’re still young, so I find it hard to believe you know more about what liberalism is than do liberals. Rush Limbaugh says the same thing, but when he says it, it comes with a lifetime of experience, not a few years of listening to talk radio. I do agree with you on many things, but on this one I think your head is getting to big for your Xanga.
im still waiting for one post where u dont just bash on liberals. i mean damn, mike, i have nothin against u but its gettin sooo old….
pllleaaasee…all i ask is one post! ONE!!!
[INSERT POMPOUS TITLE HERE]
So follows the post of a certain individual here in xanga, I won’t be naming any names since of course you all know who I am talking about. To be clear, this is not an attack on someone’s political ideology but in fact this is an analysis on someone who takes himself too seriously and of course doesn’t seem to have a clear understanding on the way politics work.
“As many of my dedicated readers know.. I don’t comment on my own posts…its sort of a policy…I don’t see the point. Im already an expert on liberalism, there’s not much you lefties can say that will change my view on liberalism..what’s the point of engaging in debate with you?”
What policy concerns people not defending their views and political beliefs on their own blogs? Frankly, there is no such policy it is merely an excuse to make up for an ineptitude of political knowledge. I’ve seen it done many times where people insist on getting involved in the debate. ProudAmerican912 has done it and so has NeoLibertarian. Here are two of your so called “faithful readers” agreeing with me on this issue:
“I don’t see the point of having a blog if you’re not going to defend your position by commenting on your own posts, unless of course you’re incapable of doing so. ” -myth1ca
“And you really should post on your own xanga. The point is rebutteling your opponents instead of ignoring them. If you were really all that smart and supperior, you would rebuttel and defeat your opponents in debates here. Instead, you act like you are too smart to respond to these people. ” -italini
You are not a professor in political science and you certainly are too young to understand such political machinery that is used in our country. People in their 20s and 30s here don’t even know how a bill is passed in congress to become a law, so do I expect you to have such a comprehensive knowledge on politics? Of course not.
“They actually make me tired of hearing my own name. Im going to tell you why this libs are obsessed with yours truly…they fear me. “
Truly you are full of yourself for thinking that you are feared because you hold such knowledge on issues. If you legitimately think you are feared then you would engage yourself on the debates that happen here soo often on every post. Where do you find any evidence on your claim that liberals are truly afraid of you. You modify debates, you make outrageous assumptions, your posts clearly have no intelligent analysis of any issue of any kind, and of course you yourself never engage in debates. The only time you did engage in a debate was when you went against NEOLIBERTARIAN and of course lost. A moderator and witnesses, both conservative and liberal alike (me being one of them) were there and yet you still have the audacity to claim victory for yourself when you have lost.
You as ,simoncat1010 has described, are a moonbat. You do hold that bumper sticker mentality which such clever quips.
Now on my stance on the War in Iraq:
First I will start with my view on the issues concerning Iraq, this will include getting into Iraq and of course its reconstruction. You will see that there is a division between me and conservatives on how I view the war and of course the way I support the war.
First let us start with the WMD’s issue. To this day no Weapons of Mass Destruction have been found and for many times Blair and Bush have been constantly pushing that Saddam had indeed acquired WMDs.
<TABLE>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD vAlign=top noWrap align=right><TT>
<TD vAlign=top>
British Prime Minister Tony Blair declares: “The threat that Saddam Hussein poses is an issue in its own right, because the reason why the UN Security Council passed these resolutions was precisely because we know the threat that there is from the weapons of mass destruction that he has.” 11 March 2002
“Vice President Dick Cheney declares: “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.” 26 Aug 2002
So as not to sound partisan, some Demcrats too have declared that Saddam has the capability for weapons of mass destruction yet to this day none were found.
As for chemical weapons…..
Complicating matters somewhat was David Kay’s interim report on the Iraqi WMD hunt. Regarding the threat of chemical weapons, the Iraq Survey Group reluctantly admitted:
“Information found to date suggests that Iraq’s large-scale capability to develop, produce and fill new CW munitions was reduced—if not entirely destroyed—during Operation Desert Storm and Desert Fox, 13 years of UN sanctions and UN inspections.”
And the nukes……
David Kay has this to say:
‘Despite evidence of Saddam’s continued ambition to acquire nuclear weapons to date we have not uncovered evidence that Iraq undertook significant post-1998 steps to actually build nuclear weapons or produce missile material”
So of course I don’t entirely agree with that ordeal. Hmmm that doesn’t make me seem to support the war. By the way FYI, I never joined a anti-war protest so yeah.
9/11 Commission Report say there is no link between Hussein and Al Queda as well.
“It said Osama bin Laden made a request in 1994 to establish training camps in Iraq, but “but Iraq apparently never responded.” That was before bin Laden was ejected from Sudan and moved his operation to Afghanistan.”
Poor Bill Clinton but if you keep in mind the political climate of the time and what officials were telling Bill Clinton you can argue otherwise, but thats another issue.
“However, Bush passed over the fact that the relationship between bin Laden and the Iraqi insurgents – to the extent one existed at all before – grew much closer after the US invaded Iraq.”
So yea that takes care of those issues…Now onto reconstruction…
<TABLE>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD vAlign=top noWrap align=right><TT>
<TD vAlign=top>
Reconstruction:
As we all know not all is going well in Iraq. The troop levels are remaining the same, and allies have been backing out.
“Spain pulled out its 1,300 soldiers in April, and Honduras brought home its 370 troops at the same time. The Philippines withdrew its 51 troops last summer to save the life of a Filipino hostage held captive for eight months in Iraq. Ukraine has already begun a phased pullout of its 1,650-person contingent, which the Defense Ministry intends to complete by the end of the year.”
The level of violence has risen of course and there is indeed a civil war going on in Iraq.
“In an April 30 piece, the Times of London quotes Colonel Salem Zajay, a police commander in Southern Baghdad, as saying, ”The war is not between the Iraqis and the Americans. It is between the Shia and the Sunni.”
We are building schools, roads, and better healthcare for the people in Iraq but people in Iraq are unhappy about their electricity since on average an Iraq only possess about 12 hours of electricity on daily average. 20% of city dwellers are still without water as well.
Add this with your civil chaos and you have Iraq in a total quagmire.
So what are my reasons for supporting a war that is going badly?
My reason here is that I view the war as a humanitarian effort pushing for human rights.. ala Jimmy Carter being the first president to use human rights as a foreign policy. Of course the problem here now lies with the writing of the Constitution. Another problem rises yet again when you have such political division arriving in the constitution.
Americans here are pushing for a fast and quick resolution to the constitution issue while Iraqis are not, they want to take their time. It took American’s 5 years, first starting with the Articles of Confederation then onto our constitution, I believe not entirely sure if it was 5 years.
So now that we are stuck in the quagmire that is Iraq, I believe we must finish it all the way to the end. To leave would perhaps be a terrible mistake since the insurgence will claim victory, and Iraq will be in even more civil chaos with perhaps even more civilians dying.
To sum it up, I agree and support the conclusions of the war but not its reasons for getting us into it. The ends don’t exactly justify the means when it comes to lying the public but when it becomes a reality that indeed pulling out would be a difficult thing to do, I support that.
I however disagree with the administrations handling of the war and of course lack of post-war plan, hence mr. angelsea, a 50 year old with a xanga, I CAN support a war while disagreeing with the president.
“I certainly agree that whoever is against the President cannot honestly say he/she is FOR the WAR.”
The administration’s handling of this war is poor and sub-par.
SO NOW MORRISON….I EXPECT YOU TO GET MORE INVOLVED IN THE DEBATES HERE OR YOU REALLY ARE LACKING POLITICAL INEPTITUDE…
Now I must leave for a concert to go too.
Ciao
“Morrison, I agree with you 100%.”
What exactly do you agree upon SoonerJK12??
The generalizations and false assumptions made by Morrison? I think you might try cleaning your partisan glasses in order to see through someone’s BS first.
Without even trying to brave the content, I will say that it IS his blog; he can write whatever he likes.
Oh … goodness. I think I’m hawking the first amendment. Well, that’s the beginning of the end.
*Hovers near apocalypse button*
Interesting how you can apply this to both conservatives and liberals, and yet people on the conservative side vow for censorship..though of course not all. DUH, Im not generalizing here, Just mainly pointing out how the first amendment is a good thing.
“youre right on Morrison… if you damn liberals hate him so much..why are you always on his blog? keep up the good work Morrison!! “
Ive seen way better conservative blogs than this Republican_Youth,
I suggest you see http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=ProudAmerican912 blog….not only does it have intelligent analysis in it but ProudAmerican912 gets involved with debates.
You just like Morrison because of his juvenile bashing of liberals….making you yourself look juvenile.
And I know what Santorum means too…..
Good arguments, snakecharmer. Much has been made of the fact that no WMD were , in fact, found after the invasion of Iraq. But, there was cause to believe that there were. The leading nuclear experts could not agree on the “cylinders” that were photographed. The New York Times had an excellent and well researched treatise on this last year, and “liberal ” paper that they are, actually succeeded in a fairly unbaised investigative report. I think the Bush admin decided at the time,and in light of the 9/11 climate, to assume the worst case scenario.
Look at it logically: if the Bush admin *knew* there no WMD , they wouldn’t have gone on about it so. They would have hedged and hemmed and hawed and I am sure been able to come up with some other justification for invading Iraq, if there was no doubt in their minds that WMD did not exist. I mean, how stupid do you want to look in the eyes of the world??
So at worst, the invasion of Iraq on the pretext of WMD was an error in judgement, based on flawed interpretation of data. Blame the lack of intelligence gathering, blame the so called experts, blame Bush for being overly nervous and perhaps trigger happy, but do not accuse Bush of deceit and betrayal. I believe that the Bush admin thought it was acting in the interests and safety of the American people. The UN at the time, dragging its feet like mad, santimoniously accused the US of acting precipitately and “unilaterally” but let’s have a look at the history of what was going on there…need I mention Food for Oil? Or the arms contracts between Iraq and France and Russia and the greasing of many pockets therein? It was NOT in the economic interests of the UN, particularly France, to invade Iraq. Never mind the shocking abuses that Hussein and his sons visited upon the Iraqi people with the flow of money coming their way; that was mercilessly irrelelevant to the noble minded UN.
That said, I believe it is now in the US interests to withdraw from Iraq as expeditiously as possible. As much as I applaud the intent of introducing the concept of individual freedom and democracy to as many countries as possible , and thereby institute a better whole world governance, I do not think it is possible yet to introduce such a concept to cultures and regimes still mired in the dark ages. They will have to figure this out for themselves. In the meantime, all we can do is protect ourselves and our way of life.

The pigeon passed away Morrison. Can you believe that?
I haven’t kept up on politics in so long, ever since we moved and got rid of cable. Now my only news source is online! But msnbc is so biased i can’t really get into it and the videos on Fox just suck. Oh well.
SoCal_Sweetie…or Sweetie for short
News Channels such as MSNBC, FOX News, CNN etc….are more entertainment based rather than informing the individual on certain issues.
Try looking at CSPAN at least, but other than that dont get your news from TV….good old fashioned newspapers will suffice I guess, or doing individual research but who has time for that in a busy world.
I was merely poking fun at ANYONE who uses the first amendment as a blatant blank check … no partisanship intended.
“Ive seen way better conservative blogs than this Republican_Youth,

i just started my site, so thats why its not really god yet. ive seen prodamericans blog and it is good too, just like morrisons, if morrison bashes liberals so much and and if this blog doesnt consist of “inteeligent analysis” why are you always on it?
“And I know what Santorum means too…..”
im sure you do
Amazing blog. I can’t stop reading the entries….:0)
Keep up the good work!
Morrison has every right to post his opinions and never answer to any calls for a rebuttal… there are way better conservo-pundits on Internet than Morrison that I read and respond to daily… but Morrison’s total lack of real world experience combined with his ideological view of the world is simply amazing… it reminds me so much of my days at a 15 year old and talking to the avowed 15 year communists… no clue on what they actually mean when they say something but by golly, they are going to say it…
I also get a kick out of those that come here and just agree with Morrison without ever seeing what the heck he is saying… his blatant lib bashing without anything to back up what he says should not be simply agreed upon even by the most strong-headed anti-lib… not to mention most of his arguments are simple circular logic…
Morrison could be a good debater one day if he has the ability to get a thicker skin in order to truly discuss issues and refute claims against his… until then, he is much like Rush Limbaugh… a lot of hot winded entertainment with no real substance…
