Robin Quivers is right. We should be better than they are. I agree with Stern, this is war. But we shouldn’t just say “so what?”. We should get mad and talk about this. I don’t defend the taliban soldiers, I’m saying we shouldn’t lower ourselves to their level.

Agree, So what.

Exactly right. Well said.

Most of the country feels the same way. It’s mostly only liberals who are outrageously outraged.

I agree stern, It is easy to sit over here and say we should strive to be better then the enemy. The enemy cuts people heads off. They are scum!!!!

Will Media Matters go after the jobs of Howard Stern or Bill Maher???  Nope.  Because they aren’t conservatives.  But they will act indignant in hope that CNN will fire Dana Loesch or any other conservative they can pretend to be outraged at.

It’s awfully hard to walk around with your head held high saying we didn’t stoop to their level and we are better than them…if you’re dead !

Alright…what the hell is going on with my posts ??

Just slap their wrists and move on. Crucifying them from the safety of our homes is too far…

It’s the media.

Feeding live dissidents into roaring tree-choppers gets
no (Democratic Party-supporting) media coverage; but urinating on
lifeless bodies who were part of that agrarian torture gets the NY
TIMES-style anti-America treatment in spades!

They could have dropped a deuce on them and still been immensely better human beings. Their level is well below that.

Disqus is freaking out.

Love Stern but he joins the chorus of those who haven’t served saying it’s okay.  The ones that serve have to deal with the repercussions and want to continue the HONORABLE tradition of service, NOT be another disrespectful, juvenile pack of idiots.  Yes, I served.

…because it sucks.

Or maybe reassign them stateside and knock them down a rank.
Or Obama can just eliminate their jobs as he is planning on doing anyway.

I’m a veteran. I’d piss on ‘em, too.

Howard Sterns says “so what”…
SO what? 
Stern has lost any sense he ever had

Yep. I’d smack ‘em around for recording it, though.

The real a-hole here is the one who took, and posted, the video. DON’T TAKE PICTURES! 

So these marines should be punished as per the code but they should not be made an example of and dragged through the mud. I have heard stories where captured marines have been skinned alive and hung off a bridge. So sorry if I don’t go nuts over this. Having said that, I am against the war and think we should come home but for the ones already there going through that hell givem a break.

Urinating on them is not their level. Pouring acid in girls faces, raping women, killing innocents in the name of Gawd, making women property, etc… etc… is their level.

Exactly right. Well said.

(to quote someone else)

Does peeing on them somehow keep us alive?

Never Say Or Do Anything In Public That You Wouldn’t Want Your Grandmother To Hear Or See !!

Pissing on your enemy ruins the kill. It’s tainted because you have stopped being the better person and you took time out of your day to defile a corpse. You stop being an American soldier at that point… at that point, you’re an animal marking your territory. Actions like that have more in common with indigenous African tribes than anyone else. Only people cut off from the world do those types of things… perhaps this is the Army’s fault. Actually, yes, it is their fault but they’ve actually helped to turn it into a debate so no one realizes. And perhaps the debate will pay off and they can shit and piss on whoever they want, I’m sure that would be great for America.

Piss wherever you want buddy but most people would look on in shame.

I say, MORE PICTURES. If this stuff is happening and we’re paying for it, I want to know who my tax dollars are used to kill. I want to know that the money I’m using isn’t funding people that are literally taking a shit on the American ideals we are supposed to have.

More open-ness is needed or one day the corruption could lead to a military coup because Military leaders feel so empowered to do whatever they want.

Yeah, I’m a big fan and I can’t imagine his mother and father would agree with him on that. Pretty shameful. 

A Liberal with common sense.

Definitely agree with Howard.

We are better than they are. That’s why those Marines took a video of themselves pissing on those guys instead of sawing their heads off.

Howard Stern and the other people defending these Marines are so effing stupid. The Taliban had nothing to do with 9/11. The Taliban are defending their country from an occupying force. They are heroes to most logical people. But ignorant bigots like Howard Stern think all Muslims are terrorists. It’s embarrassing that people in this country are so stupid.

Our military has killed more innocent people than the Taliban ever has. The Taliban deserves respect. It seems our troops that behave like this have lost their dignity and honor and some people don’t care. Well, I would like to apologize on behalf of all decent Americans to the Taliban. Most Americans aren’t as disgusting as Howard Stern or Dave Navarro or Dana Loesch or these pathetic Marines that committed these war crimes.

Sorry a lot of military personnel are less than thrilled too..Dont fool yourself–this isnt a good thing. Doesnt mean we all dont expect it but dont just dismiss. We have military honor and codes for a reason. No officer in his right mind would commend these actions.
Taliban are scum and awful people, no reason to give them more ammo.

If only the typical liberal was that concerned about tax dollars being wasted, then this country would on a better course.  Unfortunately, they’ll sooner raise hell over terrorists getting pissed on than art being paid for that’s just piss.

Maybe if all terrorists weren’t muslims, your stupid rant would be onto something.  But they’re not, so it’s not.

The rest of your post is pure nonsense.  No point in responding to the rest.

You think SOPA is about art being paid for? lol

Is that usericon drawn by you? Mine is. But if yours isn’t, if SOPA passes, your account would probably be banned for using the copywritten picture. Not only that, MEDIATE would be taken offline until the offending picture was removed.

“Maybe if all terrorists weren’t muslims” 

what? are you pretending to be this stupid?

I must be missing something, SOPA isn’t mentioned.

My reference was that you’ll raise hell over terrorists being pissed on, with tax dollars, but you people will in the same breath defend to the death tax dollars being spent on the NEA and their interpretations of what “art” is whether urine, feces, or anything else is used.

Maybe an exaggeration, perhaps, but not really.  18,305 terrorist attacks since 9/11.  Wanna tell me any other single group responsible for even a tenth that in the same period of time?

Oh, I thought you were implying something totally different. But… the whole liberal/conservative thing is about what we spend our tax dollars on.

Liberals want to spend money on programs that are progressive, social programs, infrastructure, education.

Whereas most conservatives want it spent on defense(or in the case of our wars offense), and after that, no taxes for anything else.

So yeah, as a liberal I’m sick of our money going into these wars for no god damn reason. Why can’t you people wake up? There is no enemy army, there is no goal for victory, why do you still support spending money in these places? So not only am I pissed we are there (and yes Obama is partly to blame), but on top of that I have to hear about our troops pissing on people? And then THAT has to become the debate?

We are invading a country and killing anyone that resists! no one wants to debate that, all we get to debate is what we do with the dead bodies.. It’s kinda sick. 

So nice of the part timer to finally weight in on the situation.  And major kudos to Mediaite for giving an old story new legs with an opinion I have read thirty other places.

Stern really needs to retire.

Ahh that’s cool  Anyways…
You’re completely off base.  Social programs?  Yeah, well, when bankruptcy is the only option for social programs generally, you have to seriously consider where things are worth being spent on.  And as for welfare and that stuff going out 99 weeks or longer, the evidence is there: the longer it’s extended, the longer the average person stays on it.  So, cut it.  Not that hard.

Education?  Ha!  More like waste more money.  My brother graduated with a guy who was illiterate in eighth grade.  I knew some guy who was dumb as hell, he failed one grade like three times and only passed because the teachers quit caring.  I went to one school where a teacher broke down crying because she couldn’t teach eighth grade math.  A math teacher I had in high school I am all but certain didn’t even know basic algebra.  Liberals want to continue the failure and condemn this generation, the next, and the one after that to serfdom at the hands of the government, just as long as the teachers unions they line the pockets with do the same to them.  If you’re against school vouchers, you’re an enemy of this country as far as I’m concerned.  Evil doesn’t even begin to describe what liberals are forcing on school children.  Satan himself couldn’t be prouder.

What’s wrong with spending on defense?  When have we ever been attacked for being too strong?  I, certainly, can think of an attack that happened, oh, just over 10 years ago precisely because they presumed us weak.  And I can think of a weak (liberal) leader who refused to kill the terrorist that started it all.

Kill the terrorists?  What’s to miss?  They fester, they grow stronger, they see retreat as weakness and more die.  Is that not what history has shown time and time and time again?  First there was the embassy in Iran, then the Khobar Towers, the German night club, the embassies in Nigeria, the first WTC bombings, USS Cole, then 9/11(Some of those may be out of order, but the point remains).  Again, what am I missing?  Can you some how tell the enemies to stop without killing them?  Do they not see a non-response as weakness?  Unfortunately, the world doesn’t operate in a lady of pixies and unicorns.  This is our world, for better or worse, piss, blood and all.

Just throw the bodies in a pit and burn them.  That’d be the easy answer.

Yeah, I should have been more clear in my comment and said the “anti-war liberals” are the ones outraged, and that applies to the few military people who have spoken out against these Marines, who are also anti-war liberals.

You think you’re paying for Marines to piss? Interesting.

Pissing on your enemy ruins the kill.

Not unless you’re going to eat it.

We all just found out we are.. and that’s why it should be reprimanded.. or it will continue to happen. It will probably happen regardless though because of this overwhelming attitude of “I can do whatever I want to muslims”.

I’m sure you could justify doing just about anything to that dead brown dude… it’s nothing to be proud of, it’s your own lack of self-control.

There haven’t been any terrorist attacks in the US.. and when you invade a country and anyone resisting is called a terrorist, it’s not hard to see how 18,000 attacks becomes a believable number.

Go ask the English how many of those pesky Irish are muslim. You are supposed to say “if all muslims weren’t terrorists.”
At some point I have to think people can’t pretend to be this stupid.  I wouldn’t even fault them if they could only keep their talking points straight.

I should note that of the girl killed near where I grew up for becoming too westernized by her father.  Or the ones in Thailand 
http://www.zombietime.com/thai_jihad_photos/  The 26 recently killed in Damascus by a car bomb.  The 45 Catholics killed in Nigeria.  And on and on  What a diverse group there.  I mean, the victims, not the terrorists…

So, some 1,800 Brits have been killed by them?

Oh yeah, I forgot, and should correct it: more than 47,500 have died during drug related violence in Mexico.  That’s usually forgotten because the American President, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and potentially Secretary of Homeland Security are arming them.  To be fair, that stopped AFTER it was reported.  And only then was it reported that they were arming rival gangs.  And to be further fair, it’s not like any of them matter, it’s not like they were Americans that were being killed?  Well, except for that one border guard…  Huh…It’s almost like they’re fostering a civil war down there by arming rival drug cartels.  Well, that or using it as an excuse to argue for stricter gun controls using the facts these strawmen can buy guns and use them down there.  Come to think of it, Holder did argue that last point.  Well, nothing to see there I’m sure.

If we’re gonna speak in colors, should we talk about the guns the Democrats were sending to Mexico to kill lots and lots of brown people?

What’s it like being in the minority?

Stern is a fun moron. He supported Bush until he didn’t. He flips on a dime and it’s sad to listen to a multi-millionaire so ignorant of the world. 

Keith Olberman and Media Matters will now start a campaign to get Howard Stern fired.  Howard never has said anything controversial before and I do not know how how could have been so foolish as to offend Keith and Media Matters, two of the biggest powerhouses in broadcast journalism!

I think the most appropriate punishment for the Marines would be for them to receive a good spanking from Mila Kunis!  She always supports the Marine Corps and then next winter all four (4) of them can escort her to the Marine Corps Ball!

No, push ups are too easy!  Have Katy Perry, Scarlett Johansson, Cherize Theron and Anne Hathaway each pick one of the Marines and stand on their backs in their bare feet during the push ups!

Does cheering the scoring of a touchdown at a football game increase the score of the game?  No, there are no points awarded for the post touchdown cheering, but we do it because it expresses our emotion which we are feeling at that moment.  Yes, the Marines should not have done it, but do not judge them until you have been in their shoes!

You forgot about Keith Olbermann wanting them all fired as well!  Then again, most people have forgotten Keith Olbermann

the one argument i have yet to hear a U.S. commentator make about urination-gate is how the Americans would feel about one of their soldiers being pee’d on after being killed?. it seems to be this way the majority of the time such as when american troops in Vietnam got waterboarded & now the USA are doing it to their enemies but claim its totally different.  

I think they did a stupid thing, but it’s the people that are justifying it and promoting it that are pissing me off. What they did was unprofessional, I don’t really think it deserves a super-harsh punishment but.. it deserves to be made a big deal and to have consequences. 

Now there you go, the IRA signed a peace accord in 2002 and there has been mostly peace since then. If it were not for the marching season in July, there’d be peace in Belfast. So don’t be gettin my Irish up, IRA veterens now drink in the pubs and tell stories, you Anglophile.

I am SO outraged by something Howard Stern said.

what did he say?

pure class as always Pablo

why don’t you choose a name to post with that reflects your true race rather than sliming hispanics with your ignorant posts?

History didnt start at 9/11 . And soldiers that piss on those bodies (where do i see its the real enemy?) just are plain stupid to let it film . I can understand there feelings but your for sure not making friends . Why is it every time ppl talk about the USA is attacked? How many from those attacks did the USA? In Somalie your soldiers got some butt kicking and those bodies are showen to the world and what did the US say the world? Yes??

Why don’t you GFY?

Even the Taliban aren’t that pissed. They said it won’t threaten the peace talks (yes Peace talks). Taliban leaders put it into perspective; “This act may be disrespectful, but at least its not women learning”

Oh, so you like the idea of it being viral worldwide? You want it to have bad repercussions. Nice.

I didn’t know we had a sniper in our midst. How many kills do you have, snowjob?

Oh, yeah. Just “workplace violence.”

Agree with Howard Stern – “So What”! These are the supporters of Osama and other extremist whom the president has had scoped in his sights.

Note to terrorists: we not only kill you, we also piss on you when you’re dead. 

So, want to start something?

Has MM went after the jobs of conservatives?

That’s right. And we should be better than they are.

You were probably listening to Paula Dean’s cooking show…and missed it.  Like you have missed out on life.

Pablo…he does..also enjoys his golden showers at the baths.

My husband is a Navy Hospital Corpsman (Feet Marine Force), who serves with the United States Marine Corps. A proud Devil Doc. He deploys with them. He eats with them. He sleeps with them. He knows them and he feels the Corps pride. He also does patrols with them. He went with them when they slowly, but surely, took Fran during Operation Phantom Fury, the bloodiest battle of the war in Iraq. He patched them up under fire. He endangered his life to save their lives countless times. He also picked up their pieces and put them in body bags. So, he has a unique perspective. He doesn’t blame these Marines for pissing on this scum, however, he is bothered that they disreguarded the long-honored Corps values. So, while these Marines showed disrespect for the bodies they urinated on they also, in doing so, showed disrespect for the Corps.

thanks perv

so you’re not denying it

Hey Barry….when you ya gonna put those “golden Showers” on YouLube?

Iraq and Afghanistan… these are wars we started. We claimed to be making the world a safer place, but for who? The troublesome thing about the urinating on these dead Taliban is that it’s just another incident of Marine misconduct, not the first.

The 2005 Haditha massacre, where 24 unarmed Iraqi men, women and children were murdered by Squad from Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion 1st Marines. Sergeant Sanick De la Cruz, one of those accused in the killings, admitted to urinating on one of the murdered Iraqis. No one can argue that these were terrorists. No one, not even the Bush administration ever thought Saddam had anything to do with the 911 attack. Yet, innocent families were killed. So the argument that they got what they deserved is misguided.

Thus, if we look at these separate incidence we don’t see a few stressed Marines, what we see is a deep seated Marine culture of seeing people, and the dead, as less than human. We see a culture that is above our Nation’s moral code of conduct. And this must not be tolerated.

To date, none of those accused of killing these innocent people have been sentenced to serious jail time. And in most of the cases, all charges were dropped. The real question isn’t whether we want to support our troops. Of course we want to. The question is, do we want to support them blindly? If we choose to support them in cases of murder, what type of society have we become, and have the terrorist already won the war. Look what we’ve become… a country who sees urinating on the dead as an acceptable consequence of a war we started.

Thank you bj9mac for a moral substantive post in a sea of ignorance.
