  • Well. I think we've moved from football to politics and philosophy- so I'm going to move this thread over to the Political forum.

    The guy was in his 50s- (Old Jim Kelly was still running the Boston Marathon in his 70s) tell you one thing- IMHO the kidney disease thing was probably fake. You don't go hoofing it through the foothills of the Himalayas if your kidneys are shot. There's one thing I'm betting will be even more classified than his pictures- it would have been a damn easy thing for the carrier doc to stick a biopsy needle into the dead guys kidney to find out if the booger was really suffering from kidney failure before they fed him to the fishes.

    lol its more likely that some doctor faked his kidney disease than him not being responsible for 9/11

    what motive would a doctor have for faking kidney disease? what would he possibly gain from diagnosing a dead man with something that in all likelihood would have killed him eventually anyway

    oh and 50 may not be old in america, but the life expectancy for a male in afghanistan is only 44 years old and thats a healthy male with no health problems......not a male that was running for his life, had kidney disease and was under constant stress

    dude was old

    Thanks for missing my point- or are you believing the Al-Quaida BS the guy had kidney disease that was NEVER verified? The Americans could have confirmed his (lack of) before they deep-sixed him with a simple needle biopsy- I'm betting they probably did. Ever hoofed it up some 6,000' high mountain passes like they have in southern Afghanistan? I've done some hiking up mountains, and I can tell you this- if the guy needed dialysis, ain't no way in hell he was trucking around in those Himalayan foothills without a go cart.

    Ha ha...

    That's great.. truley shocking that he would have sympathy for an evil man.

    Reshard probably thinks the hollacost didn't happen and hitler was just mis understood..

    Listen I don't like a lot of politics.. but what gets lost when idiots like him spat out stupid shit, is the men and woman who put there ass on the line.

    Twitter needs to go and what he said was dumb. He's catching a lot of sh.it on my primary Steeler board as well. It's also RAshard and the Holocaust and misunderstood is one word. He's also far from a idiot despite the dumb sh.it he said on twitter. I love that everyone on the Steelers is some sort of Retarded thug. Some of you guys really are mental. I also doubt the work the troops put in for our freedom is lost on Rashard Mendenhall. Don't be a dumb a$$.

    I really have to agree with Homotron on this one. As much as I hate it he is correct IMO. I think what I am reading on this board is more disturbing than what Mendenhall said. I am glad the world doesn't have to worry about Osama any longer. But to suggest that if somebody doubts that Osama is the criminal mastermind behind 9/11 they also would be knocking our military is really dumb. The military risked their lives and did their jobs, period. Everybody should be aware of that. They go wherever are government sends them and they do their jobs. They are all heros simply for risking their lives for our country. Even the soldiers who risk their lives in places we have no business being in the first place.

    I don't agree with Mendenhall (I think Bin Laden was mastermind)but I don't disagree with him questioning a government that has lied to us many times over the years. Government's do lie! I would say that it has been proven that Bush lied about the WMD's in Iraq. Think of how many brave soldiers died due to that lie. People who question things help our country grow and prosper. Think about the women's rights and civil rights movements. If we all just followed along without asking questions how would we improve and grow?

  • Rashard Mendenhall loses Champion endorsement over bin Laden tweets

    http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2011/05/rashard_mendenhall_loses_champ.html

    PITTSBURGH β€” The Champion sports apparel company has ended its endorsement deal with Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall over Twitter remarks the player made criticizing people for celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden.

    The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Friday that Champion "strongly disagreed" with the tweets and ended a new four-year contract the player recently signed. Mendenhall has endorsed the company's products since entering the league in 2008.

    Mendenhall on Monday questioned the public celebrations of bin Laden's death, and whether the World Trade Center towers were really brought down on Sept. 11, 2001, only by crashing two hijacked airliners into the buildings.

    Mendenhall has since clarified his remarks by saying Americans were insulted when some people celebrated the terrorist attacks masterminded by bin Laden, and that others might view Americans celebrating bin Laden's death the same way.

    Among Mendenhall's posts, the day after the bin Laden news broke, was: "What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side..." He also tweeted on the Sept. 11 attacks: "We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style."

    Wednesday's offering, though, was a different story.

    "I appreciate those of you who have decided to read this letter and attain a greater understanding of my recent Twitter posts. I see how they have gotten misconstrued, and wanted to use this outlet as a way to clear up all things that do not truthfully represent myself, what I stand for personally, and any organization that I am a part of.

    "First, I want people to understand that I am not in support of Bin Laden, or against the USA. I understand how devastating 9/11 was to this country and to the people whose families were affected. Not just in the U.S., but families all over the world who had relatives in the World Trade Centers. My heart goes out to the troops who fight for our freedoms everyday, not being certain if they will have the opportunity to return home, and the families who watch their loved ones bravely go off to war. Last year, I was grateful enough to have the opportunity to travel overseas and participate in a football camp put on for the children of U.S. troops stationed in Germany. It was a special experience. These events have had a significant impact in my life."

    Mendenhall also specifically pointed out the "celebrates death" tweet.

    "This controversial statement was something I said in response to the amount of joy I saw in the event of a murder. I don't believe that this is an issue of politics or American pride; but one of religion, morality, and human ethics."

    He also tried to bring closure to the situation.

    "Nothing I said was meant to stir up controversy. It was my way to generate conversation. In looking at my timeline in its entirety, everything that I've said is with the intent of expressing a wide array of ideas and generating open and honest discussions, something I believe we as American citizens should be able to do. Most opinions will not be fully agreed upon and are not meant to be. However, I believe every opinion should be respected or at least given some thought. I apologize for the timing as such a sensitive matter, but it was not meant to do harm. I apologize to anyone I unintentionally harmed with anything that I said, or any hurtful interpretation that was made and put in my name."

    On Tuesday, as Mendenhall's offerings became a national story, team president Art Rooney II made sure the Steelers were heard from.

    "I have not spoken with Rashard, so it is hard to explain or even comprehend what he meant with his recent Twitter comments," he wrote in a statement. "The entire Steelers organization is very proud of the job our military personnel have done and we can only hope this leads to our troops coming home soon."

    Mendenhall, who profiles himself as a "conversationalist and professional athlete" on his Twitter page, turned some heads in March, as well, when he supported a comment by Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson comparing the NFL to "modern-day slavery."

    "Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel eachother," Mendenhall posted at the time.

    Mendenhall is coming off a tremendous season, as he led the AFC champions in carries (324), rushing yards (1,273) and rushing touchdowns (13). He has 2,439 yards in three seasons since being drafted in the 2008 first round out of Illinois.

    In the 2010 postseason, Mendenhall ran for 230 yards on 61 carries in three games with four touchdowns, as Pittsburgh defeated the Baltimore Ravens (31-24) and New York Jets (24-19), before falling to the Green Bay Packers 31-25 in the Super Bowl.

    As a result of the controversy, Mendenhall saw a spike in his followers on Twitter. On Tuesday afternoon, he had 13,631. On Wednesday afternoon, he had 36,914.

    He personally follows 67 on Twitter. Included in the group he's following is the Dalai Lama, comedian Sarah Silverman and the Park Community Church in Chicago.

    And people who use to word Retard to describe a person mental capacity are ignorant and in turn show the level of their own mental capacity and their morality.

  • Meanwhile, I saw on the news where Champion ? cancelled his contract as a spokesman.

    Good move, he's a sleazeball in a group of sleazeballs.

  • Knowing how college professers love to teach national socialism and watching how these youngsters (college age students) celebrated in front of the white house over Bin ladens death is a little disturbing. We should remember and not take for granite how the personality cult around Hitler which captivated the youth of Germany so he could do anything he wanted is the same type of cult worship of Mr. Barack Hussein Obama.

    This is by far one of the stupidest statements that I have every heard. I'm not an Obama supporter, I don't like his health bill, and I sure as shit didn't vote for him, but every ignorant person who says he is driving the country to socialism is like nails on a chalk board to me. You literally just spat out stereotype after stereotype in your statement. All college professors support socialism, check, college students are empty headed sponges who base their views off their teachers, check, democrats are socialists, check, and to put the icing on the cake you end with adding Obama's middle name just to remind everyone that he is connected to Muslims. Seriously just from your statement you can tell you do nothing but watch Fox News, or listen to Beck.

    Is it really so hard to believe that it wasn't Obama supporters out there but just happy college students celebrating that we finally got pay back for 3000 American deaths.

    I was sitting at my desk when the teacher came in and told us that two planes had hit the Twin Towers. She had been crying. We didn't turn on a tv but just went back to our lesson. When I got to my grandmothers house after school she said that the Pentagon had been hit and another plane went down in Pennsylvania. I asked her what the Trade Center was because I didn't know. When my parents picked me up my dad dropped us off at our house and took all the gas cans to the station and filled them up and topped off the cars because he was dead certain that gas was going to spike to $10 a gallon the next day. I was only in 5th grade then. I remember everything about that day down to what I ate for each meal. I am a Republican and I shouted USA for 15 minutes while me and my roommate ran down the halls of our dorm with American flags tied around our necks like caps.

    I dont watch Beck or any network news. I dont want some talking head telling me how to think. And yes Obama is a marxist not a communist or a socialist. Believe me there are a bunch of mind numb robots who follow every word from there teachers, and that is what makes Obama dangerous.

    Is it really so hard to believe that it wasn't Obama supporters out there but just happy college students celebrating that we finally got pay back for 3000 American deaths.

    In my opinion If I were a college age student I would be there also celebrating with hope that there will not be another draft.

    On 911 I left work after the attacks and went to the gun stores, they told me that the ATF called and told them to pull everything off the shelves and that they were not allowed to sell anything. I wanted to be ready in case something would happen and I needed more ammo or another rifle. It took almost a week before the ATF would allow anyone buy anything. So the moral of the story is to have your shit ready and squared away so you dont get caught with your pants down.

  • On May 4th, 1970, I was visiting Kent State with a friend. I had been a machinist for a year to pay off my car.We were in socialogy class, and she was running down our country, and applauding the economic system of the Soviets, etc.

    Well, I got her attention, and started a discussion, and got a loud applause from the rest of the big class, and from this America-hating socialist/commie

    wench prof, I got angrily kicked out of class, because she realized I wasn't a student of hers. LOL

    But as I got up to leave, (standing ovation now)... some guy threw open the door and yelled out that the National Guard had killed a bunch of students,.

    Yes, Virginia, there are a lot of vicious socialists and communists, extremely anti-America, on our college campuses across the country, even now.

    As far as Obamao leading us in a socialist direction? Of course he is. He is the closest example of Chavez in Venzuela I can come up with.

    Share the wealth, playing up to blacks, he and Holder, playing up to those in the lower economic levels, very much on the verge of instigating

    a very dangerous class war mentality, taking over companies in several areas of our industry, undermining our ability to develop our OWN OIL

    resources, being a big and unabashed freakin lying somebeech...

    of course he's a socialist. Look at his admin, socialist radicals, his friends, socialist radicals, his ideals and favorite professors - SOCIALIST by his own ADMISSION,

    come on. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, ... it's a freakin duck - chalkboard screeching or not.😠

  • @thaak said:

    Mendenhall is an idiot.

    Let me set the record straight. I'm a HUGE patriot. I was in the Army. I love this country. I abhor what Osama bin Laden stood for and the actions he fomented.

    Emotions have been raw for 10 years, mainly because we haven't had closure with bin Laden still being alive.

    But for us to cheer and celebrate the death of any human being is kinda hypocritical don't you think?

    Hopefully bin Laden's death will help heal all the anger and fear that was created because of 9/11.

    Just a FYI but what you said above is basically what Mendenhall is/was saying. He just didn't go about saying it very well.

    You probably call every Democrat a Socialist. Which is as ridiculous as calling every Republican a Nazi.

    Perhaps there is a class war being waged....but it is not the side you think that is waging it, and it not being waged in the manner you may think.

He had many other attacks that killed innocent people other than 9/11. He inspired countless other groups to spring up in the middle-East, Europe, Asia... worldwide. What other justification do you need to kill a person? In our legal system you can get the death penalty for killing one person. Why does Osama bin deadxxxx deserve anything better?
