Mark Cuban Declares War On The Troops
2007-09-02
From Pat Dollard

The Man Behind The De Palma Smear:
Billionaire Mark Cuban has decided to put all of his weight behind a campaign to smear US troops in Iraq as “monsters’. Cuban has decided that De Palma’s film “Redacted” must be seen as the cornerstone of his and De Palma’s self-declared anti-victory campaign against America and her troops fighing in Iraq. Cuban’s company Magnolia Pictures will be bringing this propganda campaign to a theater near you this winter.

According to a source close to Cuban, the decision for Magnolia to develop, finance and distribute the film was personally made by Çuban. Cuban has a full producer credit on the film, and DePalma shot it on HiDef video at Cuban’s request, in order for it to qualify as fodder for Cuban’s hi-def cable channel.

So far neither he or DePalma have explained how they can be “bringing the truth of the Iraq war to the American people”, as Louie DePalma has said, when neither of them have ever been to Iraq, filmed any of “Redacted” in Iraq, or spent one minute with any soldier in Iraq. Clearly they are only bringing you their imagined propagandists’ reality of Iraq. Both had the opportunity to go, both declined.

They have chosen the coward’s path in a quest for legitimacy as spokesmen for the Iraq war, and as such both have failed in that quest. Indeed, they are left standing as laughingstocks. Their reach has exceeded their grasp. Cuban is a jet-set, armchair “Iraq Truther” who made sure not to have his private jet stop anywhere near Iraq. But he and DePalma are more than anxious to bring you the “reality of the Iraq war”. LMFAO.

#16  I mean it - on re-reading your comments, I f*cked up. I was wrong. Don't quote me on it, dammit. I hate when I'm wrong

#15  Well, that was my take, but I didn't want to leave it unresolved. Thanks.

#14  Guilty as charged - I DIDN'T look for the KBK posts - I apologize.

#13  I'm not disagreeing with you. But I didn't offer any "advice". Did you even read the link?

#12  My point was that the Stock Market CAN get people rich, if done smartly. Mr. Cuban can smoke my pole. If I have a chance to suborn his wealth, I'll take advantage of it. I found your advice of little use, but that's just me, making money....

#11  Sorry, what's "my advice"? The link is to a Cuban blog wherein he claims that the market is for suckers, having made his riches due its existance. My "post" is a comment to his rant.

#10  if you've had better returns (gtr/1 yr/3 yr/5 yr?)than JAOSX (look it up?) then I'll admit you're right. If you don't, I'll put your advice where I put the rest. I have a lot of money in Janus, and I'm pretty happy

#9  no, but I missed your point...

#7  If you see Mark Cuban in person, call him an anti-american asshole.

I'd also call him a jerk.

The stock market is for suckers. See my post.

#6  a reminder, then: don't mention nor encourage anyone to see this movie. Don't encourage anyone to purchase this when it makes its' quick skid to DVD. Root against the Dallas Mavericks at every opportunity. If you see Mark Cuban in person, call him an anti-american asshole. Is that clear?

#4  "Nader - of Lebanese descent - is a strong opponent of the US intervention in the ME."

There - fixed that for ya', McZoid.

#3  Cuban was a Nader supporter in the first Bush campaign. Nader - of Lebanese descent - is strong opponent of US intervention in the ME.
