I am curious as to if The Red Arrow ever came back in the form of a different nation. I hope not, but I do not know and do not feel like searching because I know there is at least one kind person who wants to add another post to their post count by telling me. :lol:

He's gone to FUA, which explains his suicide I suppose.

He's already started posting. On O'Reilly shouting done a son of the WTC bombing victims. Quite good OReilly, hints that he can talk to the dead.

I hope he does return.

His posts at least sparked debate, and IMHO were far superior to the "last to post wins", "word games", "do something to previous poster", or "temple to the mods" type posts.

And, he stuck around to defend and debate his posts, unlike some who post and run.

Vale TRA, R.I.P.

Oh, oh, I remember that one. That was when he cut off a grieving father who mentioned that he was against the war in either Afghanistan or Iraq, insisting that his son would have wanted the US to go out and get revenge. What a heartless insensitive idiot.

Transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor" featuring Bill O'Reilly and Jeremy Glick

Glick, whose father was killed in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, reported that after the interview O'Reilly said to him, "Get out of my studio before I tear you to fucking pieces."

Begin transcript:

Bill O'Reilly: In the "Personal Stories" segment tonight, we were surprised to find out than an American who lost his father in the World Trade Center attack had signed an anti-war advertisement that accused the USA itself of terrorism.

The offending passage read, "We too watched with shock the horrific events of September 11... we too mourned the thousands of innocent dead and shook our heads at the terrible scenes of carnage -- even as we recalled similar scenes in Baghdad, Panama City, and a generation ago, Vietnam."

With us now is Jeremy Glick, whose father, Barry, was a Port Authority worker at the Trade Center. Mr. Glick is a co-author of the book "Another World is Possible."

I'm surprised you signed this. You were the only one of all of the families who signed...

Jeremy Glick: Well, actually, that's not true.

O'Reilly: Who signed the advertisement?

Glick: Peaceful Tomorrow, which represents 9/11 families, were also involved.

O'Reilly: Hold it, hold it, hold it, Jeremy. You're the only one who signed this advertisement.

Glick: As an individual.

O'Reilly: Yes, as -- with your name. You were the only one. I was surprised, and the reason I was surprised is that this ad equates the United States with the terrorists. And I was offended by that.

Glick: Well, you say -- I remember earlier you said it was a moral equivalency, and it's actually a material equivalency. And just to back up for a second about your surprise, I'm actually shocked that you're surprised. If you think about it, our current president, who I feel and many feel is in this position illegitimately by neglecting the voices of Afro-Americans in the Florida coup, which, actually, somebody got impeached for during the Reconstruction period -- Our current president now inherited a legacy from his father and inherited a political legacy that's responsible for training militarily, economically, and situating geopolitically the parties involved in the alleged assassination and the murder of my father and countless of thousands of others. So I don't see why it's surprising...

O'Reilly: All right. Now let me stop you here. So...

Glick: ... for you to think that I would come back and want to support...

O'Reilly: It is surprising, and I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why it's surprising.

Glick: ... escalating...

O'Reilly: You are mouthing a far left position that is a marginal position in this society, which you're entitled to.

Glick: It's marginal -- right.

O'Reilly: You're entitled to it, all right, but you're -- you see, even -- I'm sure your beliefs are sincere, but what upsets me is I don't think your father would be approving of this.

Glick: Well, actually, my father thought that Bush's presidency was illegitimate.

O'Reilly: Maybe he did, but...

Glick: I also didn't think that Bush...

O'Reilly: ... I don't think he'd be equating this country as a terrorist nation as you are.

Glick: Well, I wasn't saying that it was necessarily like that.

O'Reilly: Yes, you are. You signed...

Glick: What I'm saying is...

O'Reilly: ... this, and that absolutely said that.

Glick: ... is that in -- six months before the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, starting in the Carter administration and continuing and escalating while Bush's father was head of the CIA, we recruited a hundred thousand radical mujahadeens to combat a democratic government in Afghanistan, the Turaki government.

O'Reilly: All right. I don't want to...

Glick: Maybe...

O'Reilly: I don't want to debate world politics with you.

Glick: Well, why not? This is about world politics.

O'Reilly: Because, No. 1, I don't really care what you think.

Glick: Well, OK.

O'Reilly: You're -- I want to...

Glick: But you do care because you...

O'Reilly: No, no. Look...

Glick: The reason why you care is because you evoke 9/11...

O'Reilly: Here's why I care.

Glick: ... to rationalize...

O'Reilly: Here's why I care...

Glick: Let me finish. You evoke 9/11 to rationalize everything from domestic plunder to imperialistic aggression worldwide.

O'Reilly: OK. That's a bunch...

Glick: You evoke sympathy with the 9/11 families.

O'Reilly: That's a bunch of crap. I've done more for the 9/11 families by their own admission -- I've done more for them than you will ever hope to do.

Glick: OK.

O'Reilly: So you keep your mouth shut when you sit here exploiting those people.

Glick: Well, you're not representing me. You're not representing me.

O'Reilly: And I'd never represent you. You know why?

Glick: Why?

O'Reilly: Because you have a warped view of this world and a warped view of this country.

Glick: Well, explain that. Let me give you an example of a parallel...

O'Reilly: No, I'm not going to debate this with you, all right.

Glick: Well, let me give you an example of parallel experience. On September 14...

O'Reilly: No, no. Here's -- here's the...

Glick: On September 14...

O'Reilly: Here's the record.

Glick: OK.

O'Reilly: All right. You didn't support the action against Afghanistan to remove the Taliban. You were against it, OK.

Glick: Why would I want to brutalize and further punish the people in Afghanistan...

O'Reilly: Who killed your father!

Glick: The people in Afghanistan...

O'Reilly: Who killed your father.

Glick: ... didn't kill my father.

O'Reilly: Sure they did. The al Qaeda people were trained there.

Glick: The al Qaeda people? What about the Afghan people?

O'Reilly: See, I'm more angry about it than you are!

Glick: So what about George Bush?

O'Reilly: What about George Bush? He had nothing to do with it.

Glick: The director -- senior as director of the CIA.

O'Reilly: He had nothing to do with it.

Glick: So the people that trained a hundred thousand Mujahadeen who were...

O'Reilly: Man, I hope your mom isn't watching this.

Glick: Well, I hope she is.

O'Reilly: I hope your mother is not watching this because you -- that's it. I'm not going to say anymore.

Glick: OK.

O'Reilly: In respect for your father...

Glick: On September 14, do you want to know what I'm doing?

O'Reilly: Shut up. Shut up.

Glick: Oh, please don't tell me to shut up.

O'Reilly: As respect -- as respect -- in respect for your father, who was a Port Authority worker, a fine American, who got killed unnecessarily by barbarians...

Glick: By radical extremists who were trained by this government...

O'Reilly: Out of respect for him...

Glick: ... not the people of America.

O'Reilly: ... I'm not going to...

Glick: ... The people of the ruling class, the small minority.

O'Reilly: Cut his mic. I'm not going to dress you down anymore, out of respect for your father.

We will be back in a moment with more of THE FACTOR.

Glick: That means we're done?

O'Reilly: We're done.

On O'Reilly shouting done a son of the WTC bombing victims. Quite good OReilly, hints that he can talk to the dead.
Oh, oh, I remember that one. That was when he cut off a grieving father who mentioned that he was against the war in either Afghanistan or Iraq, insisting that his son would have wanted the US to go out and get revenge. What a heartless insensitive idiot.

He obviously makes a habit out of it. This time it was the other way around, he told the son that the father wanted the US to act the way it did.

I think you're talking about the Jeremy Glick incident, where it was actually a son who said his father would have been against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But he wasn’t attacked because of his anti-war views. What happened was that O'Reilly found the phrasing and statements made in an anti-war ad to be offensive in their anti-American connotations.

One such passage read:
"We too watched with shock the horrific events of September 11... we too mourned the thousands of innocent dead and shook our heads at the terrible scenes of carnage -- even as we recalled similar scenes in Baghdad, Panama City, and a generation ago, Vietnam."

To O'Reilly, and plenty of others reading that statement, that ad is establishing a moral equivalency between America's actions in our wars/military ventures and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Baghdad, Panama City and Vietnam obviously all were violent events, as all military conflicts are, and the US has commited atrocities in at least two of those conflicts. But to imply that the acts of violence within the US's action in the last three examples, equated to or resembled the terrorist attacks of September 11th – the willful killing of innocents in the pursuit of a fanatical Islamist agenda- is sickening. Also, IIRC Glick accused O’Reilly of attempting to use 9/11 to serve his own agenda. If anything, O'Reilly was the one who really got attacked this time around.

Anyway, on the subject of RA: I'm glad he's gone. IMO, he dumbed down the forum with his caricature-like Leftist rhetoric.

A typical RA post seemed to be:

-Leftist rhetoric repeated ad naseum.
-Cut & Pasted articles, with little if any commentary on them other than "BUSH IS EVIL!!!111" or similar ideas.
-The left is always right, and you're evil/selfish/a repressive bastard if you disagree.

Brainwashing is the tool of mindless despots and people who can't gain the trust of their people through their own means. Now who is Imperialist? That's imperialism against people's own minds.

However, what Red here probably meant was taking people who are already communists and putting them on the side of his own communism. Like...say...Stalinists and normal Marxists... bad example.

I still do not like the idea. I believe teens should grow older before they commit themselves to any political or religious movement. This way they can experience more than just living under their parent's roof. They can get out into the real world to see what life is really like. I admit, I have not yet moved out of my mother's house. But I am a senior and almost out. But I have already calmed down in political views and believe that teens should not commit to any political movement until they have grown more (I am specifically talking about teens around the age of 15).

brainwashing is what people with power do to the american populous every day, political indoctrination is an important mpart of the democratic centrism of the vanguard party. the party line exists so that the party can be an effective tool of political change. without it the party would have no ability to focus tightly enough to resist the constant onslaught of bourgeois propaganda.

Gosh darn it, didn't I tell you to get back to the mines? Look, are you really a Communist? What type? Marxist? Stalinist? Engelist? Bolshevik? Menshevik? Leninist?

What? And don't you realise the cold war is over? We (being me, and my fellow Capitalists) won.

What TRA did was hardly debate. "I'm right, you're wrong," doesn't count.

He would at least reply to posts in the thread he created.

The Red Arrow was entertaining, but a bit of a flammer. Debating with him was never civilized, or even a debate. Rather, it turned into shouting matches in Latin (as we both know some Latin).

The best example I remember of the TRAs idea of debate was his defending some point by saying his father said real life was just like the Sopranos.

are they the ones who refer to their comrades by numbers in their paper, i remember someone who did that. i always had a soft spot for chairman bob and the revolutionary communist party and their long extremely uncatchy slogans mixed in with the occasional catchy but extremely politically vague one.

heh, chairman bob. you'd think someone would figure out that it just sounds silly to chant about chairman bob.

haha, from wikipedia's article on bob:

"As a result of these demonstrations, Avakian went underground, where he has remained since. Rumours circulate as to his possible location, but it is most commonly stated that he lives in Paris. Reasons for his continued exile seem to be murky."

sounds like an anarchist wrote up that one.
