Wait... Did Assange get into a small Renault at the end? MY GOD!!! It's already getting to him!!! He's delirious with all the money and power he is getting.

lol wtf.... rather strange.

I think it's an Opel Corsa. Getting in a Renault would be too crazy even for him.

Hitler wss a vegetarian and loved his dog. Just sayin'.

Yeah, but I bet Hitler wouldn't stop a speech to help an old guy. Just sayin...

I hate when people say "just sayin." It's almost like saying, "I don't want to take any responsibility for the words that came out of my mouth and would turn away any chance to discuss such matters, nevertheless I have said them."

Try it this way, you're an asshole for saying that, just sayin.

Actually, I had a much longer post that I deleted. I thought I might get beat up, so I edited it down to a factual statement.

And look. I get beat on anyway.

Here's what I wanted to say.... I think this deification of Assange is getting silly. I know that the video description was meant in jest -- but there is an element of truth in all jokes.

Now I shall probably be beat up for sounding self righteous because I have an opinion that doesn't match the WikiLeak Fanbase. Not that you guys can be predictable or anything. Just sayin'.

I don't care if he's a nice guy. He could've ran over there and shit on that guy's head, and it wouldn't have made a bit of difference to me. That's not the point of wikileaks or the importance of what Julian Assange has done. He's a hero in a lot of ways, but not because he's a nice guy.

@JiggaJonson, just sayin.

You can read a translated transcript of the whole interview here (original), which also includes the discussion about the attempted suicide of Philippe Sion, founder of WikiLeaks13.

It's clear from this video that his first thought is to help the poor guy. We have all of YouTube to prove that the average nit-wit would have sat there dumbfounded at best. I think there is not so much a "WikiLeak Fanbase" as people who are craving the truth, and the truth is that Assange is not a monster like he's being portrayed by 99.9% of the news.

Not a Jew, anyway...that's for sure.


oh uh...just sayin

I took bareboards comment to mean that you shouldn't take small details like Assange's assistance of the old man or Hitler's love for his dog to mean that they are good people. Hitler is an extreme example, of course, but I don't think Assange could possibly be compared to him without satire being involved. Hell, I use a similar comparison whenever I hear someone, usually an older relative, say that George Bush or Sarah Palin couldn't possibly be evil because they are Christian and believe in god. I say, "Yeah? Hitler was Christian too." I think bareboards actually brings up a good point. Assange isn't the second coming of Jesus. He's just a dude in charge of wikileaks. >> ^JiggaJonson:

Oh my god! I had no idea that this was Hitler Myth! Thanks for the info.

(That was a weird leap of logic, though, to think that my original statement was linking Hitler with Assange. An accurate logical equation statement would have been "good deed does not equal hero.")

>> ^bareboards2:

Assange and wikileaks are two different things, but it doesn't hurt that he's a nice guy, does it? While it should have no bearing on what wikileaks does or is, it doesn't hurt. And it might even cast some doubt on the rumors that he's doing it for personal gain. Furthermore it makes his person look better, seeing as people only know him from hit pieces and fearmongerers.

But then, I'm just sayin.

@JiggaJonson, just sayin.

Still, I want to see the video where Assange runs over and shits on a man's head. Just sayin.

I'm about to write a post in reply to both bareboards2 and fusionaut.
@bareboards2 I was never confused about what you meant by mentioning the Hitler/veg/dog thing. The analogy isn't that hard to understand but I dont think you understood what I was getting at. It's trivial I know, but I find it a bit frustrating at times because you don't have to say "just sayin" when you said something. It's as stupid as "I'm about to say _____" right before you say something. It could be used for emphasis but now it's just cliched garbage in the language.
Also I think @Fusionaut may be confused sexually based on his post. Just sayin.
This has been my post in which I replied to both bareboards2 and fusionaut.

p.s. Which parts of this post are unnecessary?

p.p.s. All of it!

I also don't like when people say "of-T-en" without the silent T as it should be pronounced. Again, very trivial but try the following:

Say: "often"

Did you silence the T? Why or why not?

Say: "soften"
Say: "listen"
Say: "fasten"
Say: "glisten"

Did you silence the T? Why or why not? DURRRRRRR dont pronounce the T in "often" motherfucker!!! I hate how people have fucked up that word for so long that it's now part of the language.

Although, maybe I just had too much coffee today. Probably just leftover stress from ChrisT-mas. ;-)

JiggaJons-T-on.

Only this will never be shown to the people most likely to think Assange is the devil incarnate; it was broadcast in France; isn't French TV a black hole of nasty liberal information to the US?

Just sayin!

Yes, your post is rather unnecessary. However, bareboards and I seem to have hit some sort of sore spot with you on this issue. I didn't mean any insult by my post and so far, you are the only person who has insulted another in this thread. There's nothing wrong with a heated discussion but insulting people only makes you seem unintelligent in that you may lack the capacity to form your ideas into words without the words coming out as insults and curses. Notice how genjikilpatrick pointed out a link to bareboards that shows that the vegetarian Hitler is a myth. Also notice bareboard's civilized and polite reply. Neither of them called the other names. Perhaps you would like to the same? >> ^JiggaJonson:

"Meet the Reporter Who Was Cuckolded by Julian Assange"
http://gawker.com/5727706/meet-the-reporter-who-was-cuckolded-by-julian-assange

I held back a little bit before posting this video for precisely that reason. But then I thought about how Julian Assange the person has been portrayed as the ultimate bad guy in certain circles. The impressions people get about a certain issue is influenced by how they empathize with the people fronting it, even though this is not the most rational of stances. That's why I wanted to inject a human side of him into the narrative. Because let's face it, Assange himself does come across as rather cold and cynical most of the time.

Besides, it seems to gather me a lot of votes.

@JiggaJonson, just sayin.

He was actually stealing the top secret documents the old man had hidden in his jacket pocket.

I think we can all agree that, whatever the significance of Wikileaks, or Julian Assange's character, these issues pale in significance against quirks of the English language that upset pedants.

recently pulled my car over and helped an old dude in an motorized wheel chair get unstuck from a fence...

What-Would-Bamdrew-Do... should start printing up those wristbands... just saying!!

I can only assume the sole reason this video is being voted up is that the good samaritan is Julian Assange. Come on now, Really?

-edit-
Just sayin'

If George Bush rushed off camera to help some old guy I'd compliment him too. Hell, I complemented Bush when he ducked that shoe.

@Fusionaut dont get me wrong, I was in a fiery mood this morning. The "insults" as u call them are not meant to be hurtful, merely a jest in the spirit of the internets. If you took it the wrong way, I apologize.

Regardless, people who say "just sayin" have souls made of mashed assholes. Just sayin.

Ha - "If you took it the wrong way, I apologise."

Bitch, if you took me calling you a slut the wrong way, I apologise.

Wow you're a sad little bitch.

I refuse to believe that a man who wears a duffel coat could be a terrorist. Look, he's just a cute little bear in a bit of hot water is all

Of course assange is a hero...but only to America-hating leftards the world over.

Just sayin' often pisses Jigga off.

QM, Saying someone is NOT an "evil terrorist" out to destroy America does not make them a hero... Just sayin'

HAHAHAH!

His intention was good but it's rather unprofessional to leave in midst of an interview. Just sayin'.

It's sorta like capturing a window spider and releasing it outside in midst of a job interview or saying hello to his friend while he's at the principal's office. Do remember that he just came out of a police station fighting extradition facing a rape charge in Sweden. (which is another debating case of immaturity of him and people he mingles with)

It just goes to show his attitude towards all this media attention, that he's not taking things very seriously, not much different from a love-starved kid getting attention by being naughty.

What he's doing with wikileaks has made headlines, fighting against the tyrannies of corporate controlled and concentration of power. That's good. But he's also a man that does not care much for conventional rules, and he'd rather play this role of vigilante and in fact loving every minute of it. He's just as immature and selfish as any one of those crooks he is ought to expose them.

He likes the fact that he can play outside the boundaries, that he is above the law. In fact that's what his work is about, by means of backhand deals and illegal information leaks. But he's doing these bad things to the bad guys, which is the major difference and why some people view him as a hero. So his existence is in itself a constant clash of irony, a people's hero out to fight against world's problems, by practicing the same techniques the baddies are using, and enjoying his role in it.

Baaaah.

Just brayin'.

What a setup. That old man was a plant.

I think that technically the elder man has already fallen, Julian has left the interview to help pick him up.

'jes sayin.
