  1. So you want to gamble with your kid's future because you are not willing to switch to other sources of energy than dead animals. This is not your choice to make. These brave people are protecting YOUR drinking water and "your" land... What the Lakotas are saying should be more important than what some brainwashed stooge for the banks and the oil industry have to say... It's not you who are being immediate effected anyway. Even though, the first plan was to put the pipeline close to a WHITE settlement. Like them, I think you would rather dump the oil right on native cemeteries than your neighborhood even though you are the one pushing to destroy their land for your own selfish convenience. You want to take risks? Well, do it so it will only affect you and not the property or lives of others.

  2. Sorry. But what they did was not legal. What the oil companies did were trespassing on Treaty land, ignoring the people living there, thinking just like you that they are expendable. If you are in such dire need for a pipeline, Have them run it right through your own backyard! Don't expect other to lose what is theirs and carry the burden for your junkie addiction to fossil fuel and money! Besides, digging up ancient sacred Indian burial grounds, isn't that a key ingredient in every horror movie you can think of?

  3. danielvincentkelley Ghandi didn't fail in any way. If anything he failed to convey the message of tolerance to some of his fellow countrymen. The majority of the cronies are RWers and other republicans. Now what do you think about a Native Canadian singing condemnation about everything that Republican chickenhawks and war profiteers hold dear?

  4. Duane Elliott That's what I corrected during the video.

  5. There's one giant difference between FOX and DN. FOX is corporate propaganda and a white power megaphone where truth and objectivity is void.. DN is bias in a sense that they use FACTS...

  6. Oh stop your whining you fucking loser with no argument. If you want "civility", join a Hillary fundraiser! This is a war against you and the rest of the illegal aliens trying to lie, cheat and steal to destroy another man's property. "Civil manner" my arse. That's rich coming from a paid stooge who praises police violence, illegal arrests, trumped up charges against the real owners, and thugs trying to infiltrate the Native American camp to incite violence. Thin skinned morons who instead of being on point is bitching about "civility"... If you want civility, then demand for your corporate criminals to get the fuck off Sioux land. Until then, you're nothing but a bad joke and the worst that Euro-American culture has to offer the planet. Buhu.

  7. This gun obsession is mostly a white fundie thing. What I find puzzling is how NRA has failed to come to sovereign citizen's rescue and detached an army of RW militias to help these property owners. Oh, that's right! They are on the payroll of the oil company and wears uniforms being paid by the tax payer.

  8. Sorry mac. No payment for the burial grounds you claim is the property of an oil company whose intent is to desecrate was ever given to the Sioux nation. Neither do I see that the Sioux nation ever willingly sold this piece of land to an oil company, nor do I see any permit giving DAPL access to commit grave robbery, and put the pipeline right under neath the river. They are not paying you well enough DAPL troll to keep on lying. They should have put the pipeline right through your bedroom, so you can have easy access to all the oil to consume as you want. Neither you or any oil company have the right to steal other people's property because you want others to pay the price for your greed. You want a planet to destroy? Go to fucking Mars to do so! At least you and your ilk won't hurt anyone else in your disgusting actions. You can be glad that we are an ocean apart. Because if we ever met face to face and you had this attitude, you WILL have met the kind of violence from me that you defend the thugs of doing. Because I don't consider shits like you to be worthy of breathing anything else but methane through a tube through the cast. These water protectors are peaceful and law abiding. I, however am not. If Geronimo or Crazy Horse was alive today and saw what was happening on their lands, they would give a toss about sending you and your terrorists back into the hell where you belong. And I would cheer them for it. They were violent. But their violence was justified. Your violence is not. Your kind of violence needs to be put out in the most brutal way to send a message to other law breakers not to violate treaties, break the law, and commit eco-terrorism. Why? Because sacrificing a few criminals for the benefit of humanity is the moral thing to do. That means you and your bosses who gives you marching orders and talking points. It should be the death penalty for eco-terrorist like the oil company CEOs who breaks the law on a daily basis. A serial killer is an amateur in comparison to what your beloved oil companies are doing.

  9. My BS detectos just detecte a large BS spill the size of the spill in the Mexican Golf. You just admitted that laws and treaties, nor culture or history matters to you as long as your oil company is getting their will. I just wonder when some DAPL or cop will start shooting people with live bullets, where you will somehow rationalize the deaths of the people blocking your way to the destruction of water and nature. The only side here who are terrorists are your side. You have not gotten any permit to dig where you dig. You have not any property rights to the land where people who existed long before your oil companies came to be rests. Again, your violence will soon enough be met with violence. Your terrorism is not justified. And your side should be shackled, caged and sent to Riker's Island for eco-crimes.

  10. If you voted Bush and Cheney, and still vote GOP, you are partially responsible for them selling your country out for cheap slogans and fake patriotism  The fact that people who claim to be tough patriots have never served your country and give your trust to people who have never served their country, but are more than willing to send other into harms way for their political and financial agendas.  If you listen to those RW drools who condemn a soldier who had a moment of conscience, and you have never been in that situation,.... GO FUCK YOURSELF!

  11. Paul Wood Right! Bush and Cheney lies the public into two wars, and somehow a liberal Jew in a small independent station is the problem. Are you a paid troll, or just one of 'Muricas biggest suckers who have tattooed the flag on your chest and have an unhealthy obsession with waxing your gun?

  12. Paul Wood Obama a muslim? Don't tell me you're a birther too, eh? Kidding aside... it's a funny disguise if he was a muslim...going to a church run by a Vietnam veteran in Chicago... Personally I think he just pretends to be "Christian" in order not to estrange the people that hate him anyway... people like you.  But hate is so rampant in USA today. Don't you get tired of wasting so much of your energy on hating people you have never met? Tell us what is so constructive in hating things. And why hating me? Have I done anything to you?  Have I hurt you directly or indirectly in any way? How has Amy Goodman hurt USA in any way? By using her 1st Amendment right and report on news that is not mainstream media like FOX, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and MNSBC? And what gives you the right to hate people who actually went to Afghanistan and did the dirty work you were never man enough, or "patriot" enough? Like said, as much as my contempt for people who willingly marches into war is endless, my contempt for people who cheer for wars, and want others to fight the war for them to be plain cowards. My contempt is substantiated unless you prove me otherwise. As far as your hate for me, as without merit. Unless you have an issue with people who call out BS when we smell it.

  13. Paul Wood I am saying "FU" to anyone who think they are entitled to spew out garbage about servicemen who apparently have gone through a crisis in the middle of a war. It has happened before.  Wahhabis from the royal Saudi family control the Bush crime family. Not muslims in general. Not Iran. Not Indonesia. Not Morocco.  And your fucking blind if you think that CIA become corrupted by Muslims. CIA was corrupted almost from day 1. Since they started recruiting Nazi operators to expand their enterprise. What do you think inspired School of Americas that was used to track down and kill anyone who didn't support the Fascist regimes that started popping up in South and Central America since 1945? And you whine about muslims? As if the Muslims who gets their arse blown off by US drones somehow are in conspiracy with CIA? Get real.... If you want a history lesson, you should listen to Cheney in 1994, and start wondering why and how he could change his mind less than 10 years later. Because everything he said in 1994 just came true. 
    1
  14. Paul Wood When you're off on hating on your first line, you sort of put yourself up in that position of target. And now, you have proven to deserve that contempt since you choose to ignore the fact that you are a hypocritical chickenhawk whom are in no moral position to pass judgement on someone who was in a war while you were at home stroking your toy gun.

  15. I cannot take you seriously. You are bashing her for addressing something that MSM would use in every way to demonize Bergdahl. Amy Goodman gives him a chance to tell his side of the story.  And you give all your misguided anger at her. 
    1
  16. Paul Wood You know why? Because there are more than 10 000 gun deaths in USA every single year. She is covering situations that are out of the ordinary. She don't cover any murder where the killer is behind bars. She covers murders where the killer goes free, and point out the institutionalized racism against non-"whites" in USA.  So please. Don't give me any impression that "white" people is a persecuted minority, being subjected to slavery, subjugation, and institutionalized discrimination, rendering them 3/5th of a person, and not allowed to vote. Don't even give me the impression that African Americans and Europeans started out on equal terms after the Civil Rights movement in the 60's.  If people could own what one built, the entire Wall Street would have been owned by African Americans today. Since that part was built by African slaves. Wonder what the value of that large piece of property is in real value with all it's assets is worth today.  Or how about Manhattan entirely? Swindled by European settlers for 20 dollars of bling.... The Natives  misunderstood the whole deal, and thought of those as gifts. They never thought of land as a piece of commodity to be bought and sold. So the rightful ownership would in fact be the Native Americans.  Instead, a white guy who represents an ethnic group that never built the Mekka of Capitalism themselves. Neither built their fortune by their own hands. When not killing Native Americans, stealing their ideas of a confederacy, perverting it completely immediately, whipping their black labor into working harder, or cutting off a limb after an escape, The only channels that spends most of it's time to demonize people are FOX and RW radio. Amy Goodman is a beacon of sanity in an insane asylum.  And as a journalist, she does her job! If you find news about some KKK member being lynched in Harlem by a gang of Black Panthers or Nation of Islam, and they get away with it, let me know....

  17. Paul Wood Who said slavery is OK in any cases? Like your strawmen arguments by the way. Instead of looking at the dark sides of your own history, you accuse others of the same, while accusing me of oikophobia. Quite telling really. You're living in a black and white world. Thinking that criticising everything you support is the same as "hating America". Wonder what we shall call Nixon and Reagan who dealt with foreign powers in secrecy to win their elections against their incumbent presidenst who was getting the country back on track.

  18. Paul Wood I have more important things to do than to throw rocks in glass houses, peewee. As if I was looking for respect from an American trouser stain of a chickenhawk. Now go back to your corporate masters to roost you chicken brained creature.

  21. the corporations want to put a pipeline right next to public drinking water on land owned by the Lakota's. You have no right to take that land just because you're an oil junkie who hates the property rights of others and nature at large. You're an entitled, spoilt fool.

  22. So how long have you served in uniform?
    1
  23. Paul Wood Did you support Bush & Cheney after 9-11? Did you support their war adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why do you support them, but hate Bergdahl and want all the efforts wasted by treating Bergdahl the same way as Taliban did? If you support the troops, and vets as you claim you do, you would have demanded Bergdahl be set free, and Cheney be executed.

  24. Areopagitican Regular macho man in other words. If you look at transgendered women, who looks and acts like women, would you be able to tell whether that person is a macho dude or a girl? Are a male all over, or just a pretty boi dreaming af being dressed up and fucked by REAL MEN? Because somehow I don't think that you are a man at all.

  25. truthdisciple Until they have gotten a nervous system and is born, they are still fetuses. Why are you against abortion? The bible condones it.
    1
  26. truthdisciple Having an abortion is not murder neither in legal sense nor in biblical sense. According to an article on that matter from the Journal of the American Medical Association, it's unlikely that the fetus is able to feel pain before the 29th week.
    1
  27. truthdisciple P.S. Your god only exists in your head. The bible PROMOTES abortion. Jesus never mentioned abortion or contraception. Here's what your bible says about abortion: hat the Bible says about AbortionAbortion is not murder. A fetus is not considered a human life.If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. --@21The Bible places no value on fetuses or infants less than one month old.And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. -- @27Fetuses and infants less than one month old are not considered persons.Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD. -- @3God sometimes approves of killing fetuses.And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. -- @31  (Some of the non-virgin women must have been pregnant. They would have been killed along with their unborn fetuses.)Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. -- @9Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. -- @9Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. -- @13God sometimes kills newborn babies to punish their parents.Because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. -- @2God sometimes causes abortions by cursing unfaithful wives.The priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. ...  And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. -- @5God's law sometimes requires the execution (by burning to death) of pregnant women.Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. -- @38

  28. A Holocaust survivor would disagree with you. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025277243 ¨Being anti-Zionist is the same as being anti-Nazi.  With your logic, being anti-Nazi is the same as being anti-German. And it's funny how you are using the kind of religious language "anyone going against the illegal settlers will be annihilated". And you accuse Palestinians of being extremist? Here, you are the one advocating genocide against the people who lost their homes to European colonists and terrorists!

  29. Mark Twain So now that he's been tortured, YOU want to give him some more? And what makes you any better or more humane than Taliban?`
    1
  30. Mark Twain Putting him up for a potential loss of freedom the rest of his life, doubling up his imprisonment while the criminals who started the wars are getting a platform on MSM is the same as torture.  And Government HAS tortured people. Chelsea Manning for exposing war crimes committed by Bush & Cheney.  But then again, I haven't regarded USA as a country respecting human rights for a long time anyway. So I am well aware of the sense of self justified blood lust from chickenhawks when I smell it. And from you, it stinks hypocrite and chickenhawk a long way. You have no bloody right to condemn him if you were for the wars and didn't serve yourself. 
    1
  31. Mark Twain I would rather focus on YOUR cowardice and blatant hypocrisy. If anything, Bergdahl was NOT a coward.... And the war in itself has everything to do with it... It was lies that put him in that situation. And the liars go free. Not much "we must look forward" from Barack in this case, the way he did when addressing the crimes of his predecessors, eh?
    1
  32. Mark Twain So when will you sign up kiddo? You seem to be projecting your own juvenile sense of self, and instead of addressing the point, and stand corrected, you go after something completely different.  . Bergdahl should be exonerated, and replaced by Cheney and Bush in a war crimes tribunal in Hague.  And there's an arrest order on them in several countries. Cheney won't go to Canada. He thinks it's too unsafe there. And George jr, has stayed out of public eye... proving the point that he was nothing but a puppet, a sitting duck while DICK ran the show. So please continue to defend war criminals, while condemning people whose gone through things you cannot imagine in your wildest nightmares.  YOU are dismissed. You have no right to pass any judgment on Bergdahl under any circumstances you pathetic chickenhawk.

  33. sybex4 And just as vindictive as any Taliban member. "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein If you served in Iraq or Afghanistan, the only thing you achieved was to open that can of worms that Cheney warned about 20 years ago. "Following orders" are not an excuse to commit war crimes. And the entire two wars was both giant war crimes in general. Bergdahl must have gotten a moment of sanity if he is guilty of any "desertion". Life imprisonment for leaving his post is draconian enough. Putting him there AFTER he was captured and tortured is plain sadism, and has nothing to do with Justice.  I served myself during the Yugoslavian war when you were still sucking your thumb.

  34. sybex4 Wow! I didn't realize that my freedom relied on Obama killing 5000 people with unmanned drones.  Drone killers! the new american Rambo! Some kid sitting in front of a PC playing video games! What heroism! As in comparison to "cowards" who in comparison to you, whom must be a Brave Warrior left his post due to a moment of SANITY.  You have no right to call Bergdahl a coward.  If you participated in the IRaq war, you are partially responsible for making this world less safe. You are partially responsible for the birth of ISIL. You, scumbag made this world LESS safe! So don't expect me to tank you for killing thousands of Iraqis. That's YOUR bag. See, I donæt murder innocent people liek you do. I don't march into war on a wave of nationalism, and feeling of self righteous vengeance. That's what American shitheads like you do. And claim biblical right to killl innocent people And then demand that the shit you have created smell like roses. As far as I'm concerned, you are nothing but a war criminal like Bush and Cheney and should be behind bars like both of them!  'So fuck off war criminal! Eat your own bullet!  Your a disgrace to your country and service for answering the call of scamming liars and criminals!  Between you and Bergdahl, he is a hero. You on the other hand is a mindless criminal who's brain only stretches as far as carrying out idiot orders like the mindless idiot you are.  So I repeat, do your country a favor, and use the next bullet on your self! Your war crimes demands it!

  36. Chris Lowe If Bergdahl deserves as much as another minute behind bars, I know of a few other people who deserve to be hung, having their gut taken out and quartered... 
    1
  37. Chris Lowe You figured it out Sherlock. I am against war. Especially stupid ones that leads nowhere. Consider Bush & Cheney's adventures in the Middle East for your tax dollars as their "Bridge to nowhere", And if you think that people can't go through huge changes in a situation like Bergdahl went through, I doubt that you have ever changed your mind about anything and will be stuck in your illusions damn reality. Besides, U.S. Armed Forces is no longer a defensive entity. It's the pro-longed arm for special interests. And all they need to do is to wave the flag, scare people up,and outrage them about who's the enemy. As far as I can remember, the majority was behind Bush during those times. The minority peace mongers was more or less squeezed out. Journalism was used as a propaganda apparatus for the war hawks. Bergdahl was young and stupid. He has served "his time" enough.

  38. Chris Lowe Let me ask you one question. Have you ever served in the army yourself?

  39. Chris Lowe Were you for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?

  40. sybex4 Another thing: The fact that you wishes death on other people doesn't surprise me coming from someone who's hands are already drenched in innocent blood... Blood from people who had nothing to do with 9.11 nor had WMD. What they did was to fight against an invader with seedy intentions.  So don't give me or anyone any impression that you did the world any favors by acting like a complete idiot and march into war at the drums of dickless chickenhawks who never fought one themselves but were more than happy to use you as a useful idiot to carry out their agenda.  "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.

  42. gerald geaf The mass killings conducted by the US backed Saudi regime? DN has reported on it. Unlike the rest of them. Who are too confused about whose side they're on.

  43. No Way The Brave Leaders from behind...a desk. Like this Mullah Krekar in Norway who incites terrorism abroad but too chicken to go back to Iraq because he is afraid of being tortured and killed. The same asshole states that satirists who make fun of his prophet and extremism should be put to death.

  44. Whose doing the judging here? And where is the wrong doing by pointing out people whom are murdered rather than seeking fake equality of victim points? Isn't that what these "men" were doing when they assaulted one of the murder victims in the story? Doing shaming, and judging based on theirs and your prejudices? So tell the world what kind of apology or admission people whom are being murdered for who they are owes you any apology or consideration for your precious feelings.. So what is your point other than deflecting on your own imaginary struggles in and judgement you feel oppressed over? How about, "live & let live" and stand up for the downtrodden unless you feel downtrodden yourself?
    1
  45.  @sol5916  Well, I am sorry for your lack of r reading skills and lack of attention span. You are certainly more upset about being "shamed" than actually commenting on the story, as if that itself does not merit your unconditional support. Certainly has mine. But then again, blame my soft and bleeding heart for sympathizing and empathizing with the downtrodden.
    1
  46.  @sol5916 Is that ego of yours that fragile? Praise yourself lucky for being such a "rugged 'man' and not a shame tripping tannie.. That might have cost you a lot more than just a wounded self image. Apparently, triggering faux "SJWs" isn't as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.. It's as easy as looking at fish a barrel... What kind of explanation do you think transgender persons owe you to have your acceptance and support? Besides, its not me you should speak to, but someone relevant to your plight.... Like a trans woman on what "shame" is.. What kind of scape goating and guilt tripping are you talking about? Perhaps Life will force you into new perspectives within your own family some day? The clip was about a trans woman fist being beaten, and then murdered. Not about your grievances about how you are being shamed in any way. That was your bait.. Not anyone else. I just happened to take this bait for the time being. And all you can think about is how YOUR feelings are being hurt for having been shamed and guilt tripped for some reason. If you want to make a case for your nonsensical buzz words guilt & shame .. What do you know about the being shamed and guilt tripped that trans people knows nothing about? Apparently, being a transwoman assaulted in front of her house, having her head stomped on while enduring transphobic slurs is nothing compared to the shame and guilt tripping trans people put on you. Make a list over your grievances or stop whining about your perceived victim hood status.
    1
  47.  @sol5916  Well, something must have brought you grievances since you thought that those were more important to focus on than the actual case at hand. And you still fail to exemplify any valid grievances. Antagonistic? Luckily, I'm having a funny bones today, but don't you own your own reaction to how people treat you? Another little myth to blow a giant hole in. Violence is not only legal in USA -it's also glorified and practiced by a trigger happy cops, white supremacists, war criminals abroad like Sniper Kyle, privatized armies against natives, and ICE agents whom are more than willing to shoot unarmed kids in the back.. And get rewarded for it. Depending on the demographic of the victim and the assaulter off course.

  50.  @mikemyers7539  What is that supposed to mean? You saying that Black Lives does not matter, and to deflect from this Proud Boy attack is somehow justified and the same?
