Republicans Nominate the Ultimate Warrior 2008

[The Ancient Enemy]

The answer is no. If you do anything wrong whatsoever, you spend eternity in Hell. Just ask Moldo he'll tell you all about it.

[CRLionDawg]

Since you asked DCPassarelli, I forgive you.

[DCPassarelli]

I think that forgiveness is there for those that seek it. In this case, here is a quote of hers.

"I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of things that I said or did," she began. "I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm . . . very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families."

Number 10
Warrior And Chums
And finally, the artist formerly known as "The Ultimate Warrior" (now apparently just plain "Warrior" for some reason) made a professional wrestling-sized **** of himself at the University of Connecticut last week, choke-slamming the UConn College Republicans in the process. Former WWF star Warrior had apparently been invited by the College Republicans to speak about... well, actually that's not entirely clear. But Warrior is a radical right-wing nutcase, so presumably that's all the reason they needed. Unfortunately Warrior was a little too nutty even for the College Republicans, "screaming and stomping on the stage," according to liveaudiowrestling.com, and provoking the crowd into a frenzy. The evening turned sour when Warrior answered an Iranian student's question by telling him that he needed to "get a towel," and pontificated on such subjects as why "Queering don't make the world work." Which is a bit odd coming from a guy who used to make a living publicly groping a steady stream of greased-up bodybuilders in leotards.

Anyway, it turns out that the UConn College Republicans were a tad embarrassed by the debacle, issuing a profoundly apologetic press release the next day. They made sure to mention that they were sending individual letters of apology to, "the Rainbow Center, AQUA, QUAD, the African American Cultural Center, the Asian American Cultural Center, the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center, the Iranian Students Association, and the Women's Center." Oh, and in case you were wondering, "this is not a complete list of the groups that will receive a direct written apology from the College Republicans." Good lord.

But the story doesn't end there: the College Republicans' press release provoked a hilarious outburst "From the Desk Of Warrior" where he announced (in the third person!) that "All of the above notwithstanding, it is somewhat sad to see how utterly spineless the UConn College Republicans have turned out to be. Not a single UConn CR voiced any objection to Warrior after the event. The detailed emails between Warrior and the UConn CRs reveal that the CRS repeatedly encouraged Warrior to single out the Tent City Trash for some re-education. Yet, it now seems that the CRS have collectively decided to bow down and beg forgiveness from various extremist, anti-American, left-wing groups who infest the UConn campus. Perhaps the UConn CRS should refrain from engaging in political activism until such time as they develop enough backbone to be able to withstand not being liked by their opponents." Ooh, smackdown! See you next week!

DCP...asking for forgiveness just to get people to buy her book is bogus. She shows no remorse. She's just trying to con everyone so she can make more money off her book. If she was truly sorry she would donate every penny of profit she makes from her book to a Veterans Charity! Until she does that she burrowed herself even deeper into the pond scum she been in for the last 35 years!

[DCPassarelli]

Man, I need to get that jedi training all of you guys seem to have. I wish I could use the force to help me read minds.

[southpaw]

May the force be with you always!

Its not hard to see her motives. Why all of a sudden after 35 years does she decide to apologize? Con everyone into believing she's led a poor and wretched life of a famous movie star family that married one of the richest men in America and that she needs our pity. You believe her all you want but not me. I've seen this garbage before.

[DCPassarelli]

It was 16 years after the fact on 20/20. Also, it does take time to realize mistakes. Depending on how inground the idea of your mistake being right, it may take many years. Also, what about the other people that protested against the war? Are they any better?
