Take your pick. Three anti-Obama signs in a New Orleans ‘hood have libs in a tizzy. My favorite: President Obama wearing a stinky diaper.

… [A] government-funded organization just sent a representative to testify that she is not entirely sure a mother does not have an inalienable right to murder; the president whose administration funds her organization has expressed the exact same sentiments, and in fact voted on them — several times.
An honest culture, an honest media would consider this distinction:
– Todd Akin expressed an opinion supported by no one of his party, that was a part of no platform, that virtually no one alive had ever heard expressed before, whereas…– This demon in Florida is not the first to equivocate on murder; she has an ally in a high place, and belongs to a billion-dollar organization that has equivocated on “legitimate life” frequently and publicly.
One of these incidents deserves a national conversation — especially during the trial of Kermit Gosnell, a man who actually acted on the theory of “legitimate life,” and likely murdered hundreds.
But the other one got it.

It disturbs me how they’re trying to deprive this person of their right to freedom of speech. I saw MUCH worse when it came to Bush. I hope this person prevails, for all our sakes.
But signs praising the President would be ok, right?
Those libs are clueless. “He wouldn’t do this to Bush” YOU all did that to Bush! And I was okay with it when you did it to Bush and I’m okay if you do it to Obama. FREE SPEECH. This isn’t communist China. We’re allowed to call our leaders out and tell them we’re disgusted. Libs need to get over it.
I don’t like President Obama, to put it lightly (let’s get him out of office!!) but I don’t like the taste of these signs. This man absolutely has the right to put them up, and I say huzzah to America’s freedom of speech. But I still don’t like these signs, personally; I may not respect our President’s ideas, but he’s still our President, and I respect the office itself.
And that one man saying it was “pure racism”…really?!?! Good grief, THAT again? Have you seen what President Obama is doing to our country? Racism indeed! What a sweeping generalization! It’s 2011, dude! Get off the race card! Racism would die out if we’d simply stop dwelling on it so much! (And by the way, I really like Herman Cain.)

Looks like Glenn Beck stuff, which means John Birch Society.
So, yeah, it makes sense for them to call Obama the “antichrist,” just as they did Kennedy in 1963.
And we know how that worked out.
I’m not here to defend Obama but, if you agree with this stuff, you’ve got a hate problem.
Does that make me a commie pinko lib?
Give me a break, mp.
The reason I agree with this stuff is because during the elections, I went to California to visit family. At the mall there, I saw t-shirts, posters, and all other manner of this politician’s image emblazoned on EVERYTHING. I’ve never seen anything like it in my lifetime. One place I HAD seen things like it was The History Channel, since my dad is a major history buff. It reminded me of WWII and the devoted following Hitler was able to gather.

“Hope and Change” had me scared and terrified, and not for any racial reasons.
Um, everyone did it to Bush. Get off your horse! Liberals need to realize that they don’t deserve special rights simply because they are liberals.
And no, Obama does not represent everyone. He most certainly does NOT represent me, but opposes me on every single thing. It like saying a lion is an effective representative for the needs of antelope.
Well, if you visited your family in November 2008, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in California was then 8.6%, which might explain why they were all worked up by the “hope and change” thing.
“Um, everyone did it to Bush. Get off your horse!”
___________________________________________
I didn’t call Bush the “antichrist,” I called him a fool. There’s a big difference.
Secondly, I don’t own a horse, nor am I a “lib.” And what do antelopes and lions have to do with it?
Should I issue a “mixed metaphor alert?”
I didn’t call Bush the “antichrist,”
mp, That is because Bush wasn’t a narcissistic and he and his wife didn;t hold fund raisers to legalize delivering babies to their shoulders and then sliding a scissors up the babies soine and nto her uterus in order to jab the babies in the back of the skull and suck their brains out so that they could deliver babies dead.

“truthseeker,” is that anything like aborting several thousand young servicemembers and a couple of hundred thousand Iraqis over a self-admitted MISTAKE?
As I said here yesterday, if you’re going to claim the “pro-life” mantle as your exclusive property, start walking the walk.
Otherwise, I’m going to start accusing people like you of being complicit in murder.

Then boy, were THEY ever barking up the wrong tree.
Also, even by the standards of highly-biased anti-war groups, the civilian tolls can’t be more than 110852. And the fact that a.) we were fighting AL QAEDA IN IRAQ is enough of a reason for me for us to be there, regardless of any initial reasons, b.) my ex-husband carries with him a business card from a hotel owner in Iraq that told him he was welcome to come back and stay at his establishment for free at any time as a show of his appreciation for everything our forces have done over there for the Iraqis. We are justified.
Hmmm….3,000 Americans A DAY….vs. 110852 (possibly) Iraqis in about A DECADE….
110,852? Is that all? Does that make OK in your book?
The thousands of servicemembers?
Also, you neglect to mention that Al Qaeda didn’t enter Iraq until after the US invasion there, but that’s OK.
It’s just “politics,” we were “justified.”
Explain that to “you know who.” I’m sure he’ll be interested in hearing your explanation.
No. What makes it “ok in my book” is that we were over there fighting bad people, and those bad people were doing bad things, like using residential housing, schools, and hospitals for bases of operation and blending in with others there while doing bad things to soldiers (who signed up for that, by the way. It’s on the paperwork they sign when they join the service. That’s why it’s called “the service”. They don’t have illusions of being spirited away to go on flower picking missions) like constructing IEDs that put our family friends in the hospital and killed one or two others-ALONG WITH GETTING OTHER IRAQIS KILLED. The fact that are not there on a civilian seek-and-destroy mission but to stop these bad people make it “ok in my book”.
I’m sure “you know who” will understand. I’ve never voted for anyone who supports tearing an innocent baby to shreds for the hell of it.
MP, don’t you DARE talk about servicemen and women who served valiantly in Iraq and Afghanistan, some of them to never return home. My brother was one of them, and he did it to defend freedom all over the world.
NOT ANOTHER WORD.
Free speech is free speech…whether it be graphic abortion signs, Fred Phelps posters, or billboards put up by obviously stupid people. Free speech is free speech – it has no IQ bar it has to hurdle over.
Anti-war sentiments ring hollow, coming from abortion advocates. You start walking the talk and quit being such hypocrites.
Why don’t the anti-war activists join us in prayer in front of the abortion centers? There is plenty of unjustified, immoral killing go on in there.

Don’t you dare say that to me because, as a former infantry officer, I wrote two letters to bereaved parents myself.
Then you above all others should realize we’re not over there for sh’s and giggles, or simply to kill civilians. Some people just aren’t cut out for military duty. Sorry you seem to have an axe to grind because of that.
mp – thank you for your military service and what you have done for our country!
Wow. RINO is so freaking patriotic.

Not a peep of gratitude for my family members or Courtnay’s brother expressed, but the second a traitor shows up bad-mouthing the protection of our nation, he’s made of nothing but lips for rear-end smooches of that one.
Anti-war sentiments ring hollow, coming from abortion advocates.
Who said that I’m an abortion advocate? I didn’t.
I’m saying that, if you don’t walk the walk, you’re not “pro-life.”
You’re simply “anti-abortion,” and that makes you a single issue group that will be marginalized as soon as your sponsors are finished using you.
Just as they’ve done in the past.
“… but the second a traitor shows up bad-mouthing the protection of our nation …”
Wow, now I’m a “traitor.”
Why, because I don’t subscribe to the Jill Stanek-Glenn Beck worldview?
Lady, you don’t know the definition of “traitor.”
First off xalisae – don’t be an embarrassment. I didn’t through the entire thread. Pass on my gratitude to your family members.
And seriously, should we not kiss the behinds of our servicemen? Do you not owe a lot of gratitude to them, even those you disagree with? You’ve gone a step beyond rude here and really should not only apologize to mp, but beg for forgiveness. Imagine somebody walking up to one of your service member family members and, simply because they disagree with some political viewpoints, called them a ‘traitor’. That’s really low class. Very low class.
Mp, I dared. And I’ll say it again.
PS–you actually have to watch Glenn’s show to be able to comment on its validity. If you DID watch it, you’d know he talks about peace all the freaking TIME.
Oh, and PS– I WAS one of those people who cheered when they got Bin Laden. And I cheered for my brother too. And yes, I am PRO LIFE.
You and your boy Obama can contemplate that one.
Wow, now I’m a “traitor.”
Yes.
Why, because I don’t subscribe to the Jill Stanek-Glenn Beck worldview?
No. Because your words undermine the defense of our nation and stoke the fires of our enemies.
I knew officers had their heads up their rears before, but thanks for reminding me! ^_^
“Sir-”
“Don’t call me ‘Sir’. I work for a living.”
– Every enlisted ever
RINO-
I give credit where credit is due. I’ll smooch mp’s buttocks the day I’m ready to heap praise upon Wesley Clark and John Kerry. By all means, do please hold your breath waiting for me to do so.
Why don’t you go thank Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan while you’re at it?
Wearing a uniform does not exempt someone from being a crappy American. We used to run in a circle that contained one such soldier. I never respected him or his anti-war stance, and I let him know as much. He turned out to be all the scumbag I knew he was when he intentionally failed 3 drug tests in a row just to weasel out of the Army (after receiving a HUGE sign-on bonus, of course) and didn’t know how he was going to care for his 3 children as a consequence. Apparently being a spineless loser was more important to him than providing for his family OR protecting his nation.
No. Because your words undermine the defense of our nation and stoke the fires of our enemies.
Attack me with the allegation that I’m a “traitor.” Attack me with the allegation that I was “not cut out for military duty.” Attack me because I was an officer?
I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And I did, and I have the Honorable Discharge hanging on my wall to prove it.
I’m exercising my First Amendment rights here. If you don’t like it, you or Jill Stanek are free to “moderate” or delete anything I say.
It is, after all, your echo chamber.
and I have the Honorable Discharge hanging on my wall to prove it.
Lots of people do. They’re not that difficult to get these days.
Go ahead and exercise your first amendment rights. By all means. And I hope nothing that is said is removed. I’m having a fine time exercising mine as well.
I like how you quoted me, though, and yet have nothing to say of substance that actually addresses what I said. Trumping up charges that our men went and go out of their way to kill civilians empowers our enemy. It just DOES. You emphasizing civilian casualties is counter-productive at best, traitorous at worst. As I said before, trying to cloak yourself in the American flag in an attempt to deflect isn’t going to get yourself very far with me. I lived on an Army base for 4 years. I’m not afraid to call anyone out, EVEN service-members past and present, because I’ve associated with enough of them to know they’re human beings and therefore fallible.
I’m willing to take the word of a man a world away who is native to the country we were fighting in who THANKED US FOR BEING THERE (and he was just one of many) over yours. So break out your inflated statistics all you like, but they’ll do nothing for you with me.
Lots of people do. They’re not that difficult to get these days.
Well, I didn’t get my Honorable Discharge and DD214 a few days ago. I got mine in the days when we wore solid green fatigues and steel helmets.
We didn’t get sign-on bonuses.
I thank all of you who have put your lives on the line and who are close to friends and loved ones who served our country!
Trumping up charges that our men went and go out of their way to kill civilians empowers our enemy.
I said nothing of the sort. You read that into the civilian casualty number I reported.
That charge is coming straight from your imagination.
Courtnay & xalisae, God bless you for the support you have given military family members. Parents, siblings, spouses, and children of military members are heroes as well. And mp, thanks for your service also.
Starting your initial statement with the “hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties” thing is trumping up charges. I didn’t just imagine that, you know.
My uncle was a side-gunner in a Huey in Vietnam. That was on my dad’s side. My mom lost her uncle in Vietnam. Steel to kevlar, my family’s been there. And, it would appear I’m apprised of the CURRENT situation a little more thoroughly than you. Try something other than the Daily KOS for your (dis)information in the future.
Thank you all for your kind words.
I didn’t just imagine that, you know.
Oh, yes you did. You made the following charge:
Trumping up charges that our men went and go out of their way to kill civilians …
I categorically did not write, or imply, or infer any such a thing, as a simple reading of the record here will verify. The actual casualty count could be incorrect, but there was no implication that US forces “go out of their way to kill civilians.”

Inflating the numbers such as you did implies as much. One would have to make a concerted effort to achieve THAT much “collateral damage”. Have you brushed up on the rules of engagement lately, old man? A lot has changed since steel helmets were in vogue.
mp,
So, you’re considering calling those who supported the war “complicit in murder”? Which means you accuse the government of outright murder. And over a “self-admitted mistake”, no less, which would bring the charges down a notch or two.
You do know the WMD which everyone feared was not the only reason for the war?
I’m sure you policed well in the military. You’d best police what you say as well.
They need a fourth billboard that shows Obama at a ‘gay marriage’ (quotes cause there can never really be such a thing since marriage since marriage is the union of a man and a woman consecrated by God) rally heading a fund-raiser for Planned Parenthood with all proceeds going towards commiting abortions on the poor.
You’d best police what you say as well.
Or what? You’ll bend my dog tags and send me to Afghanistan?
Or, as Andrew Breitbart said last week, you’ll prevail because “the military has our backs” and “We have the numbers and the guns.”
Mp, just stop with the questioning of my soldier’s honor and intent and duty and reason to be there. Yes, you can practice your First Ammendment rights, but in this instance, show some class and just shut up. That’s called wisdom.
I did not question your soldier’s honor and intent and duty.
The military is an instrument of national policy and it was abused.
That’s what I’m saying. The military was abused.
And anyone who is truly consistent in pro-life position would be asking why.
Only is they accept your premise. My brother and his company were not abused. His work with Army Intelligence may be the only reason you’re sitting at your computer this morning in the safety of your own home, drinking coffee, unafraid.
If I ask anything, it’s HOW: how can you and your ilk go off on George Bush, who at least is a man, and draw your wagons around some man -child symbol like Obama, who goes around the world apologizing for our greatness, and then does all he can to insire that greatness will not continue? HOW?
I AM pro-life, and mass murderers like Hussein and bin Laden, when they are taken out, were two more victories for the pro-life community.
If you think I’m defending Obama, you’re off the mark. Way off the mark.
Obama promised to end those wars “immediately” and he failed to do it. Why?
There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and bin Laden is dead.
mp,
if you seriously believed Obama when he ran on the platform that he would end the wars then you were seriously off the mark. And quite naive for a veteran. If you are serious about voting for somebody committed to ending wars then vote Ron Paul.
mp,
Darned right the military is an instrument of national policy. That’s what it’s there for. That policy is defending the nation.
We were under attack. We attacked those who “were not with us” but most assuredly were against us. Not just some tin-horn dictator, but two countries that sheltered and supported our enemies.
Those serving in Iraq are ADULTS who made their own decision to enter the military, knowing the risks. The child in the womb, of course, has no say in their situation. Why should they be compared?
Why should they be compared?
Is this some kind of snark?
