THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUTHOUT.ORG
ONE OF THE LEFT'S CYBER TROJAN HORSES

By: Doug Schmitz

http://etherzone.com/2003/schm081403.shtml

When President Bush stepped onto the presidential landscape in 2000, the Left had only just started to show their true colors - especially those in the extreme leftist auspices of the media, who still prove daily to be further aiding and abetting our foreign enemies. Undeniably, Bush seems to have brought out the voracious fury of the Left in ways no other U.S. president has done since former President Ronald Reagan won the Cold War.

Although leftist propaganda portals such as CNN, MSNBC, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, to mention just a few, have done their part to advance the Left’s agenda, ultra-leftist extremists have already infiltrated the new media of cyberspace - spewing out their caustic venom at the current administration.

One of those Web sites that have morphed itself into a veritable cyber Trojan horse arm of the extreme leftist media is Truthout.org.

(snip)

Truthout.org’s editor, William Rivers Pitt, a Far Left anti-Semite and pro-Palestine sympathizer, has authored such leftist propagandized tomes as Our Flag, Too: The Paradox of Patriotism and War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn’t Want You To Know. The latter was written from an interview with Scott Ritter, a former Clinton Administration weapons inspector. (The fact that Ritter worked for Clinton says it all.)

In the book, Pitt and Ritter try to make the case for why it would have been better for us, and the rest of the world, if Saddam Hussein were still in power. These two Fifth columnists theorized that Saddam never actually posed a real threat to our national security at all, since he supposedly destroyed all of his WMDs. (This is yet another trait of the Far Left: Trusting a lying, murderous despot more than our President.)

(snip)

Rife with anti-American and anti-Semitic sentiment, Pitt’s columns are also featured on such leftist Web sites as Palestinemonitor.org and the politically partisan, Bushwatch.org. What’s more, to show how deep his own partisanship runs, Pitt was a keynote speaker at the Arizona Democratic Party Convention in Scottsdale on July 26.

:wtf:

I spoke to 25 people at ASU.

:)

Hee hee hee hee...

Immediately wrong stuff:

1. I was not a public school teacher in Boston. I was a private school teacher in a suburb. Note the use of 'was;' I quit this past spring to continue the job of pissing him off.

2. I never spoke at an Arizona Democratic convention. I spoke to a group of 25 people at ASU to promote my book in a room within the college.

3. I am not a pro-palestine anti-Semite. I challenged him to find anything in the 2 million words I've published to prove that.

This author is a bozo. Facts are actually important.

this is par for the course from him.

Like the Boston Phoenix...I love that Mr Smutz is writing a book about 'media bias'. What a clown.

For the irony, I can only imagine. That freak's contributions should come with a laugh track.

nt?

Your heart is in the right place, but the very best thing Pitt can do is to continue doing what he does so well and not be distracted by 2-bit right-wing piss-ants. Except to laugh at them.

"Living well is the best revenge."

You know you've made it when the VRWC starts to talk trash about you.
Keep up the good work! And watch out for those mysterious fishermen at your mom's house, too. :)

The waves will get rougher the more you rock the boat. At least you have a good sense of humor.

Please keep rocking the boat!

Did you tell him he's a bozo and the facts are important? :-)

Take a look at the articles on the main page, and you'll see why it isn't worth it.

Many of the folks who visit the site will belive the propaganda and smears. But, many won't and would probably like to know the truth of the matter.

Besides, it's good advertisement for yourself and Truthout, IMHO. :)

And, I'm going to go over there and try to set them straight as best as I can, anyway. :P

You'd need a blasting cap and Semtex to get through the prejudice.

but note the article by Justin Raimondo sitting on the bottom of the homepage.

Is he the house anarchist?

Anyway, you're getting the right enemies, which is a good sign.

to make sure the piece isn't picked up by any more respectable, responsible or "fair and balanced" outlet. The Internet, especially the far-right Internet, thrives on duplication.

When you are the target of the VRWC. Congratulations! :)

My friends there say that your books have been reviewed and are often referred to (especially your book with Ritter) on Cuban TV 'round table' talk shows. Go figure.

Damn, you were at an AZ Dem convention and I didn't know???

Too much, that Dougie!!! :silly:

You've counted some serious coup, Will!

Keep being the sand in the gears of the machine...:toast:

they lend no credence to. I'd wear it like a badge of honor.

pissed THEM off this much.

Go man, go!

:toast:

That guy is like "a patient anesthisized on a table..."

Where the hell is the etherzone anyway?

And if you are a Trojan Horse, who are the Trojans? Election stealing bastards, that's who. Abducted the election and are surprised the Greeks left them a present at the gates?

Ha Ha

Heh, heh. Let's not tell him.

lol.
You're famous!

...anti semetic, anti-motherhood, anti- cute household pets invective on us here at DU!!

Don't let the rightwingers have all the fun.

That one sentence pretty much "says it all", doesn't it! Forget even pretending to dazzle the audience with spurious precision.

So it doesn't really say it all, does it?

I guess that's just not important. Why let a little fact like that get in the way of such a thought provoking essay? /sarcasm

Great job, Will. Your writing puts his to shame. I think he's a little jealous. ;-)

I never knew I was at "a cornucopia of anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-Palestine sedition"!

How did you get me into this, you pro-Communistic/Marxist, French-adoring, anti-U.S., Bush-hater???

:evilgrin:

LOL!

That stuff is right out there!

Didn't you read?

:)

Yeah, yeah, yeah... The Men's Room was being mopped, OK???

:evilgrin:

BTW - Isn't shit like this some sort of reverse, or patriotic, pornography: "Why the Left Hates America: Exposing The Lies
That Have Obscured Our Nation’s Greatness"

Makes me blush in embarrassment!

:shrug:

Anyone know when Lenin's birthday is? I want to send him a candy-gram...

himself!

Their kind never tell the truth so it must be easy just to make up stuff! :grr:

As painful as I find the leftwing lionizing of the poor pitiful Palestinians.

Hey...your in pretty good company Will!

That means your the best :D

Keep the caustic venom comin!

>>Although leftist propaganda portals such as CNN, MSNBC, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, to mention just a few, have done their part to advance the Left’s agenda<<

Doug Smitz: Utter clown!

"Leftist propaganda portals" -- that would be, what, everything one inch left of Adolf Hitler?

A PREPONDERANCE of evidence can show, that if you're not a billionaire, you're going to be hurt by following Putsch's policies.

I think that the potential damages he might have caused could be enough to warrant taking his ...what the heck could a wing-nut possibly have...they're kinda poor too...but I guess the fact that it would be a public record that you've been slandered would be enough...

"Far Left anti-Semite and pro-Palestine sympathizer"?????

I don't think he likes you William. It's so over the top that only the most imbecilic (that's most repugs) would believe it--and of course he doesn't back up the name calling at all.

I think it's sad that we've become political "janitors" who are left to clean up the filth and mess that people like this author and his followers regurgitate.

Hopefully, we'll be able to put the brooms down soon.

of reading, which actually works, and spliced among the imfomercials I heard someone talking about weapons and the bushes' and their cohorts and their involement into all types of businesses that had and will profit from this war. I could not believe my ears. There was this cute, powerhouse of a guy giving them hell with intelligence and great knowledge and fervor. I waited for the label to see who this brilliant human was and it was you. (from a speech given on the 8th). I fell asleep after you finished and felt better all the next day. Thanks and keep on revealing the truth.l

I guess you've made it to the big time now!

well he could have called you a sodomite..or a saddamite

The line

"This is yet another trait of the Far Left: Trusting a lying, murderous despot more than our President."

Should really be

"This is yet another trait of the Far Left: Distrusting the lying, murderous despot that is the President."

Just wanted to be Fair and Balanced...:crazy:

uummm....evil & decadent and commie liberal....

ooooh Will...talk liberal to me, babeee!
tee hee heeee


:evilgrin:

to peace & lefties
:toast:
DR

btw- GREAT thread title....

"a Far Left anti-Semite and pro-Palestine sympathizer"

your answer......

"I am not a pro-palestine anti-Semite. I challenged him to find anything in the 2 million words I've published to prove that."

on edit ..... well, Will where in the world would he have gotten that idea?

Love to see 'em squirm, and I love the part about "Trusting a lying, murderous despot more than our President". I'm all choked up! Da Noiv!

LOL!

Hmm... guess my listserv from the AzDems failed to mention that!

:hi: Will!

Hope you have a great time this weekend.. and I'll be taking you up on that BoSox game next season!

:)

I hope all is well with you upon your brother's departure. Keep your chin up. Fenway beckons.

He is bad bad bad. :)

We must fight the rightwing monstres like the future is at stake.

IT IS !!!

if you've never touched on an 'anti-semitic' topic- slam them on that! that's a protected statement these days, in the sense that you've kept your words to other matters, they can't pin that on you...

just think how sweet it would be to shut down a hate-spewing site like this one because they have to liquidate to pay the damages.

but I think this jerkoff is related to John Schmitz,John P. Schmitz, George H.W. Bush’s former Deputy Counsel during the Elder’s Vice-Presidency and Presidency. Will likely be a key player if Americans force Congress to become serious about its 9/11 probe. Some may remember Schmitz from the Iran/contra investigation, when the Office of the Independent Counsel (OIC) reported that each witness interviewed regarding document production complied except for Schmitz, who asserted that his documents were privileged work product.

Either that or he's related to that wack job congressmen John Schmitz. Who has another child of note, a Seattle schoolteacher currently doing time.

Either way, I am familar with his mudslinging via the Dean Defense Forces; he did a slashjob on Dean after his kid got caught stealing beer.

But just an aside as to how this no-talent creep keeps popping up with published crap. He's connected, kind of like Jonah Goldberg.

What a vomitous essay! He is one sick and angry republican.

THE OTHER LIES! REAGAN WON THE COLD WAR! AIDING AND ABETTING FOREIGN ENEMIES! I COULD GO ON BUT WHY BOTHER!

William honey you are doing something RIGHT if liars like this dipwad are WRITING ABOUT YOU. :D

an anti-semitic-pro-Palestinian stance out of anything your've written or said?

I honestly have no clue.

this one: THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUTHOUT.ORG Way to go. I also read one of the threads THE GROWING CASE AGAINST BUSH'S WAR

The original thread post is against the article of the name "THE GROWING CASE AGAINST BUSH'S WAR". And there are indeed some rabid right-wing posters who make their views known. But there are also some clear-thinkers who argue against the war very well.

There are fewer than a few dozen new threads per day posted at Ether Zone. Not quite the hoppin' place, like DU!

:hi:

the Clinton Administration had their own weapons inspectors.:eyes:

That's actually pretty cool.

Any chance of coming to Atlanta?

The republicans are so Anal and out to lunch.....

They need therapy quick!

OMG, Will, I saw the thread title and the author and was almost afraid to look! Bear in mind I had just come from the Tin-foil thread. Damn I'm glad I did, that's serious comic relief!
Let's see, CNN, the Washington Post, MSNBC, etc. "leftist portals", Will Pitt an anti-Semite and anti-American and truthout "extreme leftist media" (left maybe, extreme apparently =honest). Um ok. I think he needs to adjust the tin-foil antennae just a wee bit!

That same Schitzy author did a really low budget hit piece on Dean when his son was arrested.

Congratulations Will!

Just goes to show: Even if he'd bought a PhD, he'd still be a turd. A liar, too.

"For example, why doesn’t Pitt tell the truth about Gray Davis, who recently validated driver licenses for illegal aliens in a last-ditch effort to garner support, as well as votes? Or, why hasn’t Pitt told how a state convoy carrying Davis was pulled over on Aug. 9 for speeding at 90 mph on a major highway, allowing the "constitutional officer" (as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle) to break the state’s own speed limit? "


Now, Will, you know that the above "truths" once published by truthout would pay the bills for years to come! Why imagine the web traffic clamoring to find out that an ELECTED government offical was ...wait, I can't - just give me a minute - the horror of the naked truth takes my breath away- okay, here it is -- was ... was... wait for it ... speeding (at a very liberal 90 mph no less)! Somehow I see Jon Stewart saying - "Will, here is your moment of Zen."

:toast:

Why not invent a direct connection between the two "incidents", thus entangling them forever in a web of liberal eeeeevil? E.g.,

"Why does Mr. Pitt hide the truth, that Governer Davis' chauffer for his speeding convoy was one of the illegal aliens whose drivers' license was recently validated by said constitutional officer?"

It would be so much more fair and balanced that way...
WOOT!

This is great stuff! What a maroon!

Looks like you've got yourself your very own pet Bob Boudelang to sing your praises. Well done!

You go Will. BTW - When are you coming to Atlanta?

Could Dougie have used "leftist" any more often (and is that a bad thing?)? Like, maybe, five times in a sentence instead of just three or four?

I've said it before, Will, but YOU DA MAN!

Bake

with a name like that it says it all. How can you take this "sitting down?" I think I would have a hard time not swiping back at his lies...at least to vent anyway.

I looked over their "editorial list" and wow...I definitely see why they call it the etherzone, pretty poisionous.

You;re moving up in the world, Will.

Hey, can we call you "Pitt, the Younger"?

:7

Would he have done this article on me? No, I'm a no one as of right now:)The fact that he felt the need to right an article based on personal attacks and lies means you are gaining steam.

Can’t you sue him for lying? Or at least force a retraction on the #1 and #2 wrong facts you pointed out? #3 is a complete lie too, but it falls onto he said she said. 1 and 2 are documented right?

:D

Wears a Trojan! (Ladies don't swoon!)

Do they come in extra large?

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win." - Gandhi

Now that they're on the offensive, You can see what's coming next.... And It's all good.

I can't read your thoughts, obviously, but you seem very far from anti-Semitic. I don't recall seeing "the war is just for Israel's sake" anywhere on War Against Iraq or on the few Truthout columns of yours I've read. And besides, which anti-Semite would support in the Dem primary an ethnic Jew (Kerry) and puts a guy who's married to a Jew and who raises his children secular-Jewish (Dean) in the number two spot?

the fact that Perle, Wolfowitz work(ed) for Israel says it all.

I don't know what's funnier/false, the "far-left" part or the "anti-Semite" part.

Methinks his "etherzone" smells like fart.


:evilgrin:

It only points to the fact that your voice is scaring the shit out of them. I only applaud you louder.

shouldn't take any sudden trips on small planes...;-)

I know you already said you aren't going to bother with any libel action, but it's still possible that some more respectable outlet will pick this up, and it may be necessary to block such action. Pointing out that the piece is a pack of lies should be enough, but one can foresee a situation where action for libel is the only alternative. Unfortunately, the latter requires proving intent to harm you and your reputation. A really snotty reply from him might help lay out a paper trail (ok, electronic, but still) for such a case. Just in case.

As for your #3, I can think of some extremely offensive stuff you posted right after 9.11 on yahoo groups that you subsequently retracted as "bad timing" when I pleaded" Can we first burry our dead before you throw this BS around?"

This sounds much like a small-time right wing writer trying to "out Coulter" Ann and take an honored seat in the pantheon of Right Wing Attack dogs. The reward, of course, is fame and fortune in the niche market of hate media.

You have become this guy's ticket to the top.

Congratulations! You have become both a threat and meal ticket for the right!

Keep doin' what ya do'!

Congratulations, Will! That particular level of mindless, soul-less bullshit directed at you means that you're a success. Most encouraging, indeed. Keep up the good work.

"Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" - Alexander Pope

Above all, be calm. If hysterical right-wingers lie about you, that is a strong, reliable indicator that you are on the right track.

Next, make a mental note because I will raise my next glass of wine (later today) to you.

And remember: they haven't called you "Green" yet, so there's still more work to be done! ;-)

... at this bozo in places other than here on GD. Make him famous for his stupidity.

And the way they shamelessly distort (or lazily, or some combination of both) also carries a "whiff of fascism" to quote Jerrold Nadler.

The Leftist Leftys and their Ultra-Leftist mission will Lefity Left the Left Left...

:puke:

And as always, they critique our pale underfunded imitation of their multi-billion dollar "Mighty Wurlitzer" (and throw CNN and other mainsteram, now right-of-venter organizations, in order to camoflauge the true grotesquerie of that comparison) hypocritically as if their Mighty Wurlitzer isn' as esatblished a fact as this chair I'm sitting on?

Amazing.

When people have to resort to making up lies about you, you must be doing something right.
