Kate Hudson should die (caveat:I just wish she would shut up) - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Three points:

One, I resent the implication that I somehow "ran away". I registered for Selective Service, as do all American men, at age 18. If called, I would have served. I would have done so perhaps unwillingly, but I would have served. Tell me, did you serve in uniform? I'm genuinely curious now. And how do you feel about George W. Bush's having gone AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard?

Two, if those attitudes to which you refer were truly that common, then perhaps more attention should have been paid to the dissent in this country rather than marginalizing it and outright ignoring it. The same goes for right now. The alternative is totalitarianism, the essence of groupthink. You may disagree with those "attitudes", but that makes them no less valid than your own. And it's quite obvious that the Dixie Chicks aren't alone in their opinions.

Three: I do not support this war, but I do support our troops. Specifically, I mourn for all those killed and I want each and every one of the rest back home, whole and healthy. That's the purest form of support that can ever be offered.

None of your arguments, though, offer any justification for the treatment of dissenters in America. There *is* no valid justification for the marginalization of any opinion here in America. It's that whole "all men are created equal" thing.

Bush's having gone AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard?

Having read up about the circumstances surrounding his AWOL status I don't think it amounts to anything other then Bush is a goof ass. He claims a request for leave was made and his immediate superiors approved it, but it was denied by their superiors, this happened while he was helping with the campaign for his father running for governer I believe.

(Here's an article regarding it)

Quote:

Yeah, the mainstream media have really kept a lid on this one. We wouldn't know anything about Bush going AWOL if it hadn't been for that obscure underground newspaper the Boston Globe, which broke the story nationally in May 2000. But you're right that coverage has been pretty thin. A few months after the 2000 election, former Bill Clinton adviser Paul Begala said he'd done a Nexis search and found 13,641 stories about Clinton's alleged draft dodging versus 49 about George W. Bush's military record. Why the disparity? We'll get to that. First the basics: Yes, it's true, Bush didn't report to his guard unit for an extended period--17 months, by one account. It wasn't considered that serious an offense at the time, and if circumstances were different now I'd be inclined to write it off as youthful irresponsibility. However, given the none-too-subtle suggestion by the Bush administration that opponents of our Iraqi excursion lack martial valor, I have to say: You guys should talk.

Here's the story as generally agreed upon: In January 1968, with the Vietnam war in full swing, Bush was due to graduate from Yale. Knowing he'd soon be eligible for the draft, he took an air force officers' test hoping to secure a billet with the Texas Air National Guard, which would allow him to do his military service at home. Bush didn't do particularly well on the test--on the pilot aptitude section, he scored in the 25th percentile, the lowest possible passing grade. But Bush's father, George H.W., was then a U.S. congressman from Houston, and strings were pulled. The younger Bush vaulted to the head of a long waiting list--a year and a half long, by some estimates--and in May of '68 he was inducted into the guard.

By all accounts Bush was an excellent pilot, but apparently his enthusiasm cooled. In 1972, four years into his six-year guard commitment, he was asked to work for the campaign of Bush family friend Winton Blount, who was running for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. In May Bush requested a transfer to an Alabama Air National Guard unit with no planes and minimal duties. Bush's immediate superiors approved the transfer, but higher-ups said no. The matter was delayed for months. In August Bush missed his annual flight physical and was grounded. (Some have speculated that he was worried about failing a drug test--the Pentagon had instituted random screening in April.) In September he was ordered to report to a different unit of the Alabama guard, the 187th Tactical Reconnaissance Group in Montgomery. Bush says he did so, but his nominal superiors say they never saw the guy, there's no documentation he ever showed up, and not one of the six or seven hundred soldiers then in the unit has stepped forward to corroborate Bush's story.

After the November election Bush returned to Texas, but apparently didn't notify his old Texas guard unit for quite a while, if ever. The Boston Globe initially reported that he started putting in some serious duty time in May, June, and July of 1973 to make up for what he'd missed. But according to a piece in the New Republic, there's no evidence Bush did even that. Whatever the case, even though his superiors knew he'd blown off his duties, they never disciplined him. (No one's ever been shot at dawn for missing a weekend guard drill, but policy at the time was to put shirkers on active duty.) Indeed, when Bush decided to go to business school at Harvard in the fall of 1973, he requested and got an honorable discharge--eight months before his service was scheduled to end.

Bush's enemies say all this proves he was a cowardly deserter. Nonsense. He was a pampered rich kid who took advantage. Why wasn't he called on it in a serious way during the 2000 election? Probably because Democrats figured they'd get Clinton's draft-dodging thing thrown back at them. Not that it matters. If history judges Bush harshly--and it probably will--it won't be for screwing up as a young smart aleck, but for getting us into this damn fool war.

And that's coming from a liberal.

ctembreull · 07-26-2003, 05:36 PM

Actually, it wasn't his father's gubernatorial campaign. His father was with the CIA by that time. In fact, it was for another conservative, in Alabama. And there is no record of him being granted leave - only that he failed to show for a phyisical and drug test and had his flight status revoked.

My question remains, though: how does this make you feel about supporting Bush on military matters, given that he did "run away"?

I can guarantee you that if it had been Clinton, we'd have never heard the end of it.

docbungle · 07-26-2003, 07:34 PM

Kate Hudson is an actress. Her views will not shape this country or any other country. She has the right to say whatever she pleases, just as I do. If you could speak your views on television you would anger many people also.

Well, Clinton did run to Canada and was a fugitive from the law when he ran for governer of Arkansas, and got Carter to give him a pardon, but that's beside the point.

I always had trust in Bush in his handling of our military even though you claim what he did was "run away." I knew about this way before we even went into Afghanistan.

How would you characterize Bush's term of service, if not as "running away?" It feels like people need something to believe in, someone to follow, and they can't accept or acknowledge any flaw or weakness in that leader, so they wave them away. Can you elaborate on why you've had trust in Bush for so long?

Phaenx · 07-26-2003, 10:09 PM

It certainly wasn't a stellar service record. By all accounts he was fairly irresponsible, but in no way was he "running away." If you want running away, talk with your boyo Clinton, who literally "ran away."

The_Dude · 07-26-2003, 10:11 PM

Phaenx · 07-26-2003, 10:24 PM

Oh, but he is. Don't get mad now that my point is this line of questioning is hypocritical. Which has ironically been a liberal spearhead for accusations lately.

RedCurtain · 07-26-2003, 10:33 PM

This has nothing to do with the war. I am a proud American, but there are many of us who are extremely obnoxious. And Germans who come to the US are terrible dressers - sandals with black socks and shorts? Hey, nobody is perfect.

Hudson is a snob, but didn't say anything horrible. This is just an overreaction. The Dixie Chicks knocked Bush...come on...please - I think he's a decent president, but he clearly is not the brains of the operation. Listen to him speak, then listen to an articulate speaker like Tony Blair and see why some people might be "embarrassed" by Bush. It was certainly OK to knock Clinton - of whom I am no fan - for all those years without being un-American. Given the war and everything, it was a dumb thing to say, but again, this is such an overreaction.

God bless the brave troops who face grave danger every second of every day. Thanks to you all!

Actually, it's quite germane. I didn't have complete trust of Clinton in military matters because he didn't serve. The point here is that Bush did, in plain fact, go AWOL and hasn't been called on it. Clinton, well, you heard an awful lot about it - 10,000 articles and more - when he was running for President. And there you have it: the double standard. Your willingness to trust a deserter to act as commander-in-chief is evidence of that.

thedrake · 07-27-2003, 10:50 AM

Everyone takes what actors say with a grain of salt, because of the power and the prestige they have. They can't ever be truly down to earth because they are with people who hide behind their money. Hudson has a right to say what she wants, buts she has to know that most people don't give a crap what she says anyways.

He hasn't been called on it because it's silly political spin fodder. He did return to his Texas guard unit and served until he requested an honorable discharge, which he recieved. He was an excellent pilot, he did indeed serve, and he doesn't even run the military by himself. Why shouldn't I trust him with the military? Did we lose the last two wars? Sure didn't, he's doing a fine job.

It's every single bit as relevant as Clinton's Vietnam years. It also calls into question his fitness for the office - just as Clinton's draft-dodging did. So again, why hasn't he been called on it?

Quote:

He never actually returned to his unit. And he was given an honorable discharge eight full months before his term of service was to end. The entire thing is shot through with evidence of political patronage and string-pulling.

And the question of whether or not we lost the last two wars is misleading at best, or a strawman argument. We supposedly went into Afghanistan to capture Osama bin Laden "dead or alive." We have not done so. We ostensibly went into Iraq to disarm that nation of weapons of mass destruction. We have not done so; we have not even found said weapons.

The question of victory is always shaped by the political objectives of a war. We have not met those objectives; at best, we have not lost these wars, but we have not concluded them, either.

I can't reply to your Clinton statement on the grounds that every time I do I'm accused of redirecting blame. Just kidding. I honestly didn't care about his draft dodging when he was running for office because I wanted to vote for other people for so many different reasons. What Clinton did was criminal, what Bush did was stupid, this is why he hasn't been called on it, because no matter what the democrats accuse the Republicans of, they know what their guy did was worse.

Whether he returned or didn't is not certain, Ctembruel. It's very likely there was string-pulling going on, but we're discussing whether or not what Bush did was desertion, and it's not, he served and was legally discharged.

That's so very moot my hands are starting to hurt thinking about how much arguing we'd type for the next 30 pages if I got into it. I'll just say that we're not done in both places, but if we were to leave now I would still think of them as victories.

Well, there's nothing left to say about Hudson. Humungus already retracted his wish for her death, and we're all in agreement that people are allowed to have opinions, and celebrities are going to use their position in the spotlight to express how they feel. Nothing much more to discuss about Kate, really.

ctembreull · 07-27-2003, 09:16 PM

My last word on the topic:

Phaenx: All the information you will require on the topic of going AWOL is right here

Everyone else:
On Kate Hudson: Her opinion, her right to use her time in the spotlight to use it. Your right to disagree with her. Not your right to call her unpatriotic nor to wish her death. At least not publicly. You can think it as long, as hard, and as loudly as you want, but stating so in public is, well, beyond the pale.

hobo · 07-27-2003, 10:31 PM

Actors and actresses can have opinions too. If it isn't yours, don't get all mad. Watch an actor who has your opinion if it means that much to you.

I will personally watch any actor/actress that is good at what they do. I don't care about their opinions. People who do and get all mad and verbally abusive about it *probably* (as in maybe but not definately) have the same mindset as those who burn witches. That mindset would be:
"They are different, kill (or get rid of) them!"

I personally like to see Kate Hudson. I think she is adorable and all kinds of cute. I also think Dennis Miller is funny. Who cares what they think, as long as I am entertained

Cimarron29414 · 07-29-2003, 06:33 AM

She said ''Sometimes I'll be walking down the street and I'll hear some American and I'll just go, 'Of course they hate us, of course they can't stand us. We're the most annoying, boisterous creatures in the world.' I mean we come in and we eat mounds of food, and we're like, 'Where's the ketchup for our French fries.' I'm like, 'Shut up.''

I am not positive if this was the interview in its entirety. I don't see the term "disgusting creatures" here, but maybe she said it in some other part. If this is the entire disparagement, I'm not as upset about it as I was initially. She just sounds like an annoying boisterous creature to me. Is she American, by any chance?

You do realise that 1 testicle would make no difference for bike riding right? Infact no testicles would be an advantage. Having only 1 might also be an advantage. It means you won't be uncomfortable and have your nuts squished while biking for hours.

Kate Hudson should live. We all agreed on that. I didn't know who her mother was until this thread, interesting. She doesn't look like her mom.

I think Rush Limbaugh should just shut the fuck up. Just because he has a microphone and is nationally syndicated doesn't mean he has all the answers. I mean, does the blowhard even have any education beyond high school? Does he have any experience serving in the military? Has he ever held elected office. Hell, has he even ever acted before in a bona fide Hollywood movie? What gives him the right to hold an opinion? Why should he be given an unfair advantage over the rest of us to spread his message? - - however ignorant or inaccurate it may be. [I am on topic, right?]

Cimarron29414 Still Free Location: comfortably perched at the top of the bell curve!	I would like to bring us back to the overriding question of Kate Hudson. Let's not start recounting Florida ballots. __________________ Gives a man a halo, does mead. "Here lies The_Jazz: Killed by an ambitious, sparkly, pink butterfly."

ctembreull Crazy Location: Silicon Valley, CA, USA, Earth	My last word on the topic: Phaenx: All the information you will require on the topic of going AWOL is right here Everyone else: On Kate Hudson: Her opinion, her right to use her time in the spotlight to use it. Your right to disagree with her. Not your right to call her unpatriotic nor to wish her death. At least not publicly. You can think it as long, as hard, and as loudly as you want, but stating so in public is, well, beyond the pale. __________________ Mac "If it's nae Scottish, it's crap!

hobo Archangel of Change	Actors and actresses can have opinions too. If it isn't yours, don't get all mad. Watch an actor who has your opinion if it means that much to you. I will personally watch any actor/actress that is good at what they do. I don't care about their opinions. People who do and get all mad and verbally abusive about it probably (as in maybe but not definately) have the same mindset as those who burn witches. That mindset would be: "They are different, kill (or get rid of) them!" I personally like to see Kate Hudson. I think she is adorable and all kinds of cute. I also think Dennis Miller is funny. Who cares what they think, as long as I am entertained

Cimarron29414 Still Free Location: comfortably perched at the top of the bell curve!	She said ''Sometimes I'll be walking down the street and I'll hear some American and I'll just go, 'Of course they hate us, of course they can't stand us. We're the most annoying, boisterous creatures in the world.' I mean we come in and we eat mounds of food, and we're like, 'Where's the ketchup for our French fries.' I'm like, 'Shut up.'' I am not positive if this was the interview in its entirety. I don't see the term "disgusting creatures" here, but maybe she said it in some other part. If this is the entire disparagement, I'm not as upset about it as I was initially. She just sounds like an annoying boisterous creature to me. Is she American, by any chance? __________________ Gives a man a halo, does mead. "Here lies The_Jazz: Killed by an ambitious, sparkly, pink butterfly."

hobo Archangel of Change	You do realise that 1 testicle would make no difference for bike riding right? Infact no testicles would be an advantage. Having only 1 might also be an advantage. It means you won't be uncomfortable and have your nuts squished while biking for hours. Kate Hudson should live. We all agreed on that. I didn't know who her mother was until this thread, interesting. She doesn't look like her mom.

Phaenx The Northern Ward Location: Columbus, Ohio	I've seen those japanese toilets. Those are... yeah, don't use those. __________________ "I went shopping last night at like 1am.

sonikeko What the HELL? Location: Bowling Green, OH	To everyone on this board who hates people for speaking their mind, I have some important information for you: OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE. One of the foundations for the formation of our "great nation" was the fact that we can speak out against the government. So, the next time that you spout your opinion on someone else's opinion, remember that you are exercising the very same right that the person you are against has used. __________________ "Adolescence is short, maturity is forever"

prb Psycho	I think Rush Limbaugh should just shut the fuck up. Just because he has a microphone and is nationally syndicated doesn't mean he has all the answers. I mean, does the blowhard even have any education beyond high school? Does he have any experience serving in the military? Has he ever held elected office. Hell, has he even ever acted before in a bona fide Hollywood movie? What gives him the right to hold an opinion? Why should he be given an unfair advantage over the rest of us to spread his message? - - however ignorant or inaccurate it may be. [I am on topic, right?]
