Oliver North says Obama treats the military: "like lab rats in a radical social experiment."
By John Amato Sunday Feb 07, 2010 8:00amOliver North, who illegally sold weapons to Iran to fund the contras in Nicaragua has become a resident military expert for FOX News and the Washington Times. He's basically a war criminal that got off on a technicality, but that's like getting a medal of honor from AEI. This crackpot attacked President Obama for asking the military to left DADT:
North: Obama is treating military "like lab rats in a radical social experiment." Oliver North, host of Fox News' War Stories, said on the February 4 edition of Fox News' Hannity that repealing "don't ask, don't tell" is a "stunning assault" on the military and that Obama "now intends to treat them like lab rats in a radical social experiment." He also said, "[T]his isn't about rights. This isn't about fairness. It's all about national security. And, apparently, Mr. Obama has forgotten it."
Later, North said of repealing "don't ask, don't tell": "Now, here's what's next. NAMBLA members, same-sex marriages. Are chaplains in the U.S. military going to be required to perform those kinds of rituals? Do they get government housing?" North added that repealing DADT "affects readiness and recruiting and retention."
I think he forgot hermaphrodites too.

North does not have the intelligence of a lab rat nor does he have the morals or integrity of a lab rat.
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
this clown is about as honest as sarah palin, and maybe just as smart
North ignores that what he calls a "social experiment" has been successful in every country where it has been tried. If he is not stupid (not making any bets here), then he knows he is wrong and just pumping the right wing base to further his career at Fox. Note that this war criminal is the only person on TV news referring to our soldiers as rats. Is he going to support the military/soldiers after DADT is gone?
He should be in jail for life, at the very least. He shamed the Marines when he wore his uniform at the Congressional hearings. Pig.
All we can do is continually repeat the absurdities of the right.
Keep reporting it, over and over.
If they're not damned out of their own mouths, then there is no hope.
not much hope for now. with short term memories on the scale of fruit flies, concepts like shame and self appraisal have little to no impact on reichtard thinking.
are 'scared' of gays. It was always the Higher echelon of officers and administrators who trembled in fear at the gay. Probably worried the sameness and uniformity imposed on soldiers wouldn't work as well when individuality & uniqueness were allowed. OOOOoooooo! Scary!
-and with the result they want. Keep debunking it, over & over.
again rears its ugly head. 'super macho man' ollie north seems frightened at the prospect of sharing a foxhole with teh gay. or maybe it's just that he's afraid of being in a foxhole at all, a la the right wing at large.
when will we be rid of theses right wing animals
oh yeah, not until fox news disappears
Your television has buttons on it.
...if you push the right ones, Fox News will disappear.
.
and ask Ollie why he betrayed his oath to the Constitution.
...that someone will get around to that, right after that same someone asks Obama why he voted for the re-authorization of patriot act.
really doesn't alway work. I'm sure that you think it does. But, alas, no.
...but yes. I agree...
Obama will always have his following of 20 percenters who are incapable of looking in the mirror.
Even Bush still has fans.
Ten times Ron Paul's 2 percenters?
...to count the chickens.
Obama still has a way to go. (down)
"Obama will always have his following of 20 percenters.
Milquetoast 2/7/10 7:56 PST
another wingnut in the wh who will finally destroy whatever is left of the country
...completed the job of destroying the country before the next election.
The first thing I thought of was: CONVICTED felon says what?
Talk about threats to the uniformed services and up he pops, right on schedule. He's a perfect example of a threat to the uniformed services.
I was corrected here recently about his status.
North was convicted on 3 of 16 felony counts. The only reason why he's not currently known as 'Felon Oliver North' is because of the ACLU managed to convince a court of law that the jury would have been influenced by North's public (and immunized) testimony to Congress.
In other words, he was a Consiglieri testifying against a Mob boss for a reduced sentence and the ACLU used that to reduce his sentence completely on some bullshit legal manuever.
The NSC guy with the office in the White House who sold weapons to a rogue regime (and Iraq) to fund death squads in Central America, claims that *someone else* is treating the military like lab rats in a social experiment?
Kind of like stop loss provisions, or five and six tours of duty in a war of dubious merit? Where were you when these things were happening to members of the military, "Colonel" North? Oh, yeah, cheerleading them.
What an asshole.
Dismantle the Military Industrial Congressional Complex.
-a Space Industrial Complex. I suppose they'd still be corrupt and incompetent, but at least their mission wouldn't be murdering people for money. The US and the world actually benefit from Space Industry & Exploration.
Lets call them what they are: cowards. Gay anything scares the piss out of them. Plain and simple.
But really, sexual preference has zilch to do with carrying out ones duties. I can hear the nightmares he has while he tosses and turns...
"We're pinned down! The enemy is approaching! Commence fellatio!"
state unequivocally that this man should be in prison serving a life sentence. Why is he appearing on a national television network?
and because the American conservative movement has both the attention span of a teaspoon and conveniently ignores whenever one of their ilk does something illegal/immoral/unethical.
Convicted thief, but the thing that got him off was the Constitution, and other so called technecalities...
Still, he stole from the people (had his home fenced and paid for by US Taxpayers), and had a slush fund in a shoebox under his floorboards. I wonder why the IRS never looked into that?
He disgraced his Oath and his Uniform, and now he is just a convicted talking head
Shame on him
his delusion meter is strong!
Ollie North? Oh...yeah...the fraud in a uniform who was a traitor to his military oath. Yes, now I remember.
the same thought crosses my mind. Why is this guy not in jail? I can't imagine why this disgrace to the uniform of the U.S. military would have any opinion that we care about.
By the way, he is really getting old looking. If I thought he had a conscience, I'd swear that his guilt is aging him.
Wears pantyhose
Some people are saying that Oliver North wants NAMBLA members in the military.
It's also true that some people are saying that if teh gays get in the military, Godzilla, Rodan, and the Beast from 20,000 fathoms will have to be allowed in with the troops.
Ollie sure went a long way without any road...
I can only believe that your media sponsors must encourage employment of former convicted criminals; after all, your old buddy J. Gordon Liddy from the Watergate fiasco is at least on talk radio. But you actually share more in common with Mr. Liddy. For one thing, you are morons. However, I am sure that in your case there is yet another problem: if the services allowed gays and lesbians to serve openly, you might get excited by the Klein model sitting next to you in the foxhole.
Some day, we'll look back with amazement that we ever had an institutionalized form of a communication gap in the military:
Don't Ask, Don't Tell
(satire)
It seems like the arguments never change. North uses the same phony arguments that were used to complain about the integration of Blacks into the military. They were also used when women were put into the same units with men.
From minorities being segregated into separate units commanded by White officers we now have a military dominated by minorities and the working class. Can anyone really envision the military without women.
I take some comfort in the probability that, when gays serving openly in the military has been the norm for a decade or two, the right will then be claiming that they were for it all along and it was those evil progressives who opposed it.
I hope to see it be the norm one day, and to see history expose these people for the evil little trolls they are.
A very good indicator of things that cause retention problems, lack of morale and recruitment problems are the reasons a soldier goes AWOL.
For example, fear of getting blown might cause morale and retention problems.
I never heard of anyone going AWOL because there are gays in the military.
But I found Ollie testifying in his dress Marine Crops outfit quite radical, and very fetching.
Besides. What was his crime? Lying to Congress instead of lying in Congress?
Ollie, the disgraced former Lt. Col., got off thanks to the ACLU.
So a disgraced ex-military officer and mouth-frothing war monger like Oliver North can tell Lou Costello look-alike Sean Hannity that "the effort to repeal 'don't ask don't tell' amounts to a stunning assault on the all-volunteer military, the very best in the world. Barack Obama now intents to treat them like lab rats in a radical social experiment, and it can be very, very detrimental." North kept digging "here's what's next. NAMBLA members, same-sex marriages," Then the arms-for-hostages stooge added "Are chaplains in the US military going to be required to perform those kinds of rituals? Do they [pedophiles and homosexuals] get government housing?"
North should get his damn facts right. It was Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen that wants to repeal "don't ask don't tell" not President Obama. And only a craven sociopath like North who has built a career on lies at FUX NOISE would equate being gay with being a pedohpile or being gay with being a nambla member
Gays and lesbians only want a chance to serve their country honorably. Something the traitorous North failed to do when he sucked up to drug dealers and facilitated the sales of arms to Iran then lied through his teeth to Congress to protect a previous idiot Republican president from impeachment
Has no right to talk about the military or serving our Country. He disgraced his uniform during Iran Contra and god only knows what else he did while in uniform.
Equating NAMBLA with Gays in the Military is a cheap pathetic gross misrepresentation of the fine men and women who are serving. What a sloth
....."like lab rats?".......
Like the way republicans and conservatives treat everyone who isn't in the top 2%!
Who treated them as his own private criminal enterprise....
maybe we should ramble off the names of the people in your party who have been busted for molesting kids
the most recent....a vet...who by all accounts is straight
idiot
I used to work with a woman whose husband served with North. He said that Ollie was one crazy fucker. People need to take anything that he says with a huge grain of salt and remember that the only reason that he did not go to prison was a legal technicality. He is a convicted felon. Fuck him.
Did Ollie North just call the US military "lab rats"? Imagine if a Democrat had suggested that Bush was using the US military as his lab rats, that Democrat would have been called to the mat to apologize and say, of course, the military doesn't treat its soldiers as lab rats, just rats. By the way, does any US soldier or sailor really think that the generals don't think of the enlisted as cannon fodder?
Having served and retired after 20+ years this piece of GARBAGE and I do mean GARBAGE can say nothing. This is a piece of shit that disgraced America and the Corp, this piece of SHIT is a disgrace nothing he says has value.
I have served in all the branches and yes we have all types of Officers however even the worst still have the Integrity to admit a wrong this Slim Ball piece of shit wears his COWARDLY republican Conservative DISGRACE like a badge of Honor. This SCUM BAG who would sell this Country pout in a HEART BEAT, this TRAITOZR is the only way he can be described.
Look again and see what NIT WIT network is propping him up[ A American TRAITOR being supported by a COWARDLY and TRAITOROUS NIT WIT net work. Both Cowardly both TRAITORS to AMERICA and it Ideology and what it represents.
Yes COWARDS stick together and magnify the FEAR and HATE. a TRUE COWARD sponsored by a COWARDLY traitor network
Why does anyone listen to a convicted felon who sold arms to our enemies? Ollie should be breaking up rocks in the prison yard.
That's pretty tough talk from a traitor.

Yes, I LOVE American Dad :-)
.
Sorry, I refuse to comment on anything this traitor says until he's in federal prison for crimes he's committed.
"Now, here's what's next. NAMBLA members"
Oh. My. God. Why not just go to the next step and compare homosexuality to beastiality? What a skeevosa.
.
Ollie baby is just pissed that none of those cute guys ever hit on him. Here's another fine mess he's gotten himself into.
At least, that's the way I remember it.
Not sure if my memory is correct, because that doesn't seem to have been mentioned in the corporate media for decades now.
what do you think of their judgment? do you question it? or just want to gratuitously attack Prez Obama? and you scared little girl, afraid of gays and terrorists and liberals, you can look at DADT in one way that every one can agree on: its a staggering waste of taxpayer dollars. but, felon (i dont care if you were acquitted), you dont care about that. youre unAmerican and afraid of gays. not much of a man from what i can see. the members of the military that are gay are vastly more masculine than you. (the male ones, ahem).
Say, aren't you the Oliver North who sent hundreds upon hundreds of assorted missiles to Iran in the 80's? Yes? Then SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
listening to one who lied to Congress. Why dredge up these old warhorses whose credibility among honorable people is nonexistant?
Ollie, you lied. You failed that portion of integrity and truthfulness and cannot be trusted. It's that simple.
I wonder why he doesn't care about the many rapists, theofascists, gangbangers and actual nazis in uniform. Does he approve of their behavior? Must be.
Any idea why the hell we're still listening to traitors like this guy?
Just a little info for those of you who say Ollie North is a traitor or war criminal. He was given an order by President Reagan and was only doing as he was told, the main purpose of this order was to insure the release POW's and further CIA intel gathering, and the only reason North was convicted is because like a true Marine remained loyal to the Corp and his President, and took the blame. And FYI Oliver North is widely recognized in the Marines as a true American, he is seen as a REAL Marine.
Semper Fi !!
