1 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

2 If the flame thrwad only focuses on trolls fine. Itherwise I'm not up for it. This month has been shitty.

3 Heh - I was just about to link it in the sidebar. Something like "Sobek has a nice piece on the President's seizure of power at home, and ceding of power abroad."

4 Binky!  I'm offended.  Mine is called a Num Num..

5 It has a nice cheerleader picture... and then a bunch of word things, so he's probably right.

From David Weigel, via the Red State “beclowned media” link in the sidebar:

 

Still, the better analogue for Romney might be Barack Obama himself. In 2007, several times, the then-senator made foreign policy statements that were outside the polite consensus—and thus defined as “gaffes.” Obama said he’d violate Pakistani sovereignty if it would help nab terrorists. Romney, at the time, called that “ill-considered.” Obama never backed down. Later, at a debate where questions came from earnest YouTube members, Obama agreed to meet the leaders of Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela “without preconditions” in his first year as president. That, too, became part of Obama’s “foreign policy,” defended throughout the campaign. Nobody really noticed that Obama broke his promise. He’d previewed the talk-pretty-but-approve-drone-strikes strategy he’d use in office.

 

Romney’s “gaffe” was in this vein. It was an accidental treatise on a foreign policy that’s getting ignored in the day-to-day. As the hunt for the murderers in Libya goes on, four months before the next presidential inauguration, let’s give him some credit.

7 I asked yesterday and am serious. How will this affect the election in the long run? I would like to see some educated analysis. I am concerned that Romney is being marginalized.

8 Somebody should ask Ambassador Stevens if he is better off now than he was four years ago. 

9 Hey, how long has it been since we had a flame thread?

That's a pretty dumb question, chislechest.

10 I was so exhausted from all that reading that I stared dumbly at the giraffe picture for fifteen minutes. Fortunately my husband showed up and shook some keys in my face to cheer me up. I was like, "YAY! Jingle keys!"

11 Go read the rest of this blathering stupidity(with commentary) at JihadWatch.My head hurts. "Opposing view: Why Sam Bacile deserves arrest," by Anthea Butler in USA Today, September 12 (thanks to Judas): Words have consequences. I know that because one of my tweets asking "when Sam Bacile would be arrested" drew wide attention on Wednesday. My initial tweet about Bacile, the person said to be responsible for the film mocking the prophet Mohammed, was not because I am against the First Amendment. My tweets reflected my exasperation that as a religion professor, it is difficult to teach the facts when movies such as Bacile's Innocence of Muslims are taken as both truth and propaganda, and used against innocent Americans. If there is anyone who values free speech, it is a tenured professor! So why did I tweet that Bacile should be in jail? The "free speech" in Bacile's film is not about expressing a personal opinion about Islam. It denigrates the religion by depicting the faith's founder in several ludicrous and historically inaccurate scenes to incite and inflame viewers. Even the film's actors say they were duped. Bacile's movie is not the first to denigrate a religious figure, nor will it be the last. The Last Temptation of Christ was protested vigorously. The difference is that Bacile indirectly and inadvertently inflamed people half a world away, resulting in the deaths of U.S. Embassy personnel.

12 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

13

For those who don't want to read the entire article, here's the final paragraph:

 

"Barack Obama is a shameful excuse for a human being, and if he had any capacity for self-reflection he would realize how utterly despicable and beneath contempt he is. What a loathsome, spineless, little, pathetic worm."

 

Personally, I think this should have been the headline.

14 I read that the average ACT score for Chicago Teachers in a Public School was 19.

>>>Fortunately my husband showed up and shook some keys in my face to cheer me up. I was like, "YAY! Jingle keys!"

 

That's a long read.  I bet your lips were tired.

25 How about we flame Anthea Butler,super stupid scrunt?

26 23 I only know they were Marines.

27 Flame war???  I don't think now is the time for a flame war.

28 As I considered this, I put myself into the head of a Marine inside that compound, watching barbaric animals invade sovereign US territory (with visions of Iran, 1979 in my head), and my sympathies went immediately to him, because I asked “if I take the shot, will the President have my back?” And the answer is an unequivocal No. There is no way in hell that Barack Obama would come to the defense of a Marine who fired in the defense of our embassy. So that Marine had a gun, and training, but was stripped of all power. He could not, under any circumstances, make anything happen. Barack Obama is a shameful excuse for a human being, and if he had any capacity for self-reflection he would realize how utterly despicable and beneath contempt he is. What a loathsome, spineless, little, pathetic worm. the money paragraph. It is not that long. I am so angry

29 Laura W it depends on how one defines "flame thread" as many as hours or months

30 Work place violence?? "Obama Administration Still Not Ready to Call Benghazi a Terror Attack," by Patrick Goodenough for CNS News, September 13 (thanks to The Creep): (CNSNews.com) – Asked directly on Wednesday evening if Tuesday's deadly violence in Libya was "linked to a terror attack" – possibly al-Qaeda – a State Department official demurred: "Frankly, we are not in a position to speak any further to the perpetrators of this attack. It was clearly a complex attack. We’re going to have to do a full investigation," the unnamed "senior administration official" told a background teleconference briefing. “We are committed to working with the Libyans both on the investigation and to ensure that we bring the perpetrators to justice. The FBI is already committed to assisting in that, but I just – we’re – it’s just too early to speak to who they were and if they might have been otherwise affiliated beyond Libya." The State Department also said it was still "operating within the confusion of first reports" from Libya. "Many details of what happened in Benghazi are still unknown or unclear," the official said. "These are first reports, and so the facts could very well change as we get a better understanding."

31 Here's the money quote from that piece IMO. “if I take the shot, will the President have my back?”  And the answer is an unequivocal No.  There is no way in hell that Barack Obama would come to the defense of a Marine who fired in the defense of our embassy.

32 Infyadiels, please.  You misrepresent the Islamic Faith flag as al-Quida and expect the faithful to ignore your rantings.  This we can not do.  The Islamic Faith flag simply *Looks* like al-Quida flag, but notice, it is transparent, like Islam, as honest and open as your SCOAMF caliphate.  No apology needed.

33 OT: Actual Yahoo headline "Poll: Obama to win election"

34 Having chest pains reading those final two paragraphs, it is a perfect, perfect summary of the situation, but it has me so enraged I'm just shaking. I don't know about anybody else, but I have to take a break and go look at pictures of puppies or something.

Lebanese news reporting ambassador sodomized before being killed.

37 Benghazi delenda est.

38 Yes, these "people" do not respect anything but power. It is a big mistake to assume they are like us in any way other than being bi- peds. Projection, cognitive dissonance, mistake.

39 The First Amendment:How does that work? "White House: anti-Islam film 'truly abhorrent,'" by Josh Gerstein for Politico, September 13 (thanks to David): A top White House official has blasted as "truly abhorrent" the anti-Islam film which appears to have triggered an outpouring of violence against U.S. diplomatic posts in Egypt and Libya. Speaking to an international religious freedom conference in Washington Wednesday, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough endorsed efforts to create "a world where the dignity of all people—and all faiths—is respected." According to his prepared remarks released by the White House, he then added: "This work takes on added urgency given the truly abhorrent video that has offended so many people--Muslims, and non-Muslims alike—in our country and around the world." President Barack Obama's criticism earlier Wednesday of the "Innocence of Muslims" film, or film trailer in question, was a bit more reserved. In an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," Obama said: "This film is not representative of who we are and our values, and I think it's important for us to communicate that."

40 "Many details of what happened in Benghazi are still unknown or unclear," the official said. "These are first reports, and so the facts could very well change as we get a better understanding." they need time to figure out how to lie to us. Lies: Libyans tried to stop the attack Libyans were carrying him to the hospital, not parading him in the street We didn't have warning We didn't have notice The security was adequate

Tomorrow is Friday.  Muslim holy day, etc.  It's how things are over there, Friday is there big day for being rage-monkies.

After Friday prayers, in Cairo and elsewhere, shit could actually get very very bad indeed.  We face the real possibility of losing several embassies in one afternoon tomorrow.

53 The only consolation I have these days is that many, many on the left are strangely silent... this is not like 2008. Political conversations all summer have been different, as if they know they effed up, but can't admit it. This morning, I walked through a town we un-affectionately call, "obamaville' and there were no obama lawn signs anywhere. This, however, doesn't mitigate my anger at tfg.

61 "Gotta say, I'm feeling a bit down today."

62 re silence of left. for sure. all the loony lefties on Facebook have been quiet since yesterday. interesting.

63

President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi also ordered an investigation into the attack. Several hundred protesters chanting "death to America"  stormed the embassy's compound, brought down the U.S. flag in the courtyard, burned it and replaced it with a black banner bearing Islam's declaration of faith — "There is no God but Allah."

Hadi avowed to bring the culprits to justice, saying the attack by a "rowdy crowd" was part of a conspiracy to derail Yemen's close relations with Washington.

Spunk!!

64

46, 42  That was my read as well. 

Why isn't the media asking?

Probably because they know it puts Obama's failure to protect the consulate in an even worse light.   And, we can't have that.

65 Get Out The Vote!

68 ‎9/‎13/‎2012   Whatever the outcome, Obama said, the United States “will not waver” in working with the Arab people and their new governments. He emphasized the continuation of an outreach policy that began even before the uprisings that last year drove longtime U.S. allies in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen from power, overthrew Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi, spurred protests against entrenched autocrats throughout the region and sparked an ongoing civil war in Syria.

Fuckin' right.  Nothing will change until this fucktard is out of office.  And if he stays in office it will only get worse.  So the best thing to do is channel all the rage into productive electoral results.  Imperfect as Mitt may be, he's a 1000% improvement.  Get him in there, and work like hell to toss out all the other useless fucks downticket. 

72 Islam is the opiate of the masses. Just as a meth addict blames all of his problem on a lack of meth and seeks solutions to all of his problems with meth, the Muslims blame their misery and degradation on insufficient Islam and seek solutions to all their problems in more Islam.

73 Tomorrow is Friday prayers.  The night of Saturday is the new moon.

Dark skies.  Cover of night.

The Jews know how to make war.  If at all possible, you launch your airstrikes when there is no moon in the sky.  After that it's going to be a long, long, LONG 28 days before the next new moon (Oct 13th).

We might be in for quite a weekend.

74 We need a POTUS who defends American values,not one who joins in the chorus with our enemies.They hate or free speech,they hate us.Fuck them. (ANSAmed) - CAIRO, SEPTEMBER 13 - The Prophet 'is a red line nobody can touch', Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was quoted as saying by Egypt's Mena news agency comments on protests across Egypt and Libya and a film on the Prophet slammed as blasphemous. The Prophet 'is a red line for all Muslims and we refuse any attack', said the president. ''We will sacrifice with our soul and heart'' Morsi also said, citing a Muslim profession of faith. The Egyptian president, who had a phone conversation with US President Barack Obama before talks with European leaders and then a trip to Rome this afternoon, stressed his condemnation of 'all attempts to attack the Profet [sic] and the sacred principles of Islam'. . Meanwhile he also assured Egyptian security forces will do everything in their power to protect foreigners in the country. Morsi asked also his US counterpart Barack Obama to ''take dissuasive measures against those trying to demolish relations with the US'';. Morsi also expressed his condolences for the death of the US ambassador in Libya in statements to Egypt's state television. Talking about the ''dissuasive measures'' requested, Morsi cited Father Terry Jones stressing that ''he is the same person who tried to burn the Koran and is now trying to offend the Prophet'';. ''We don't attack anyone and do not accept any aggression against our sacred principles'' Morsi told state television after phone talks with Obama.

These are Koranimals.

U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo.

What's really scary about that piece is that it also applies to traditional alliances.  And there are a lot of allies out there who are wondering if the US still upholds them.  Lost in this appease-the-rabid-jihadis-by-scrapping-the-First-Amendment flap is the fact the South China Sea is also getting dicey.   To name but one totally ignored hotspot in the world.

There is still time to take advantage of the Obama presidency before the election.  If Obumbles can't deal with hordes of baying nutjobs without blaming his own people and fundamental freedoms, how the hell is he going to deal with China threatening to nuke (fill in the blank)?  Probably have to give up the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to solve that one, or something.   

89 How about we flame that fatass man Hillary. See her wearing red the other day? It look like a bullfight where the bull was wearing a red cape.

She's upset about this? Yeah I bet the peoples families are a bit more upset that you and Obama's asshattery got their loved one's killed.

"Arab Spring"? Are you fucking kidding me? It more like Arab Anus.

You gave license and credibility to terrorists that are now running countries which were balancing factors in the Middle East for decades. You pissed with your smelly, licked clean by fellow dikes twat. And you are fucking "surprised?

Not that is matters I suppose. But if they were on staff wouldn't they have public id to begin with. It just makes it more they would release that and not highlight the fact they were CIA?  Perhaps they were not staff and without diplomatic passports. 

Wouldn't an ambassador normally have DSS person(nel) guarding him? No mention of any DSS personnel response to the assault...

Oh well, 'facts' are subject to change.

92 The word from the Arab Street is that not even a 7th century barbarian will eat a fucking dog.

93 Islamotards attack US embassies on 9/11 anniversary and say it was due to anger over a movie made by Christians and "100 Jews"

Obama gets to blame Christians and "100 Jews" for provoking the attack

Media gets to blame Christians and "100 Jews" or provoking the attack

Obama gets to (talk about, anyway) clamp down on freedoms of speech here in the US   -   Well,  freedoms of non-islamotards.

Islamotards get away with killing a US Ambassador



You can only pull this shit off if you have a US President,  Secretary of State and media that is sympathetic to your cause.  And they have definitely pulled this shit off.

I've heard that there were no marines at the consulate - Ace's post said the same.  Nothing but locks to protect a CIA station. 

If they were Marines, woudn't their identities be released by now?

Why no curiousity in the media?  This whole thing is frikkin bizarre.  They quickly told us everything about the other consulate staffer.  These have to the most widly reported murdered people ever to go unnamed in modern history.

 

 

 

 

102 Let's Bottom Line This, Obama's Disaster Obama's foreign policy is in shambles, and because Obama is such a loser and failure, the media decides to scrutinize Mitt Romney.

Got it perfusser.

Geez- this much Stupid should hurt...

115 96,

No idea.  But, read the tea leaves of international diplomacy.  Look at Obama's actions over the last 2 weeks in regards to BiBi, the DNC, Jerusalem in the convention, etc.  All, ofc, leading up to 9/11.

We then have these events on 9/11, and now Barry decides to head to Vegas for a fundraiser.

In the language of international diplomacy, he has told Israel that they are on their own.  They can't meet with him.  He won't talk to them.  He won't defend OUR OWN ACTUAL EMBASSIES in the region.  What do you think he'll do for Israel?

So, you're Israel.  You read the tea leaves, the backchannels tell you and confirm all these things, and Iran is on the cusp of nukes.  Your borders have been on fire for months, Egypt is dicking around with tanks in the Siana and promising to relocate 2 million people there to run agriculture/irrigation projects.  Intel has confirmed a rising alliance between Iran and Egypt for the purpose of terrorism.

You have a new moon on Saturday.  Then it's 28 days more of the world being on fire before the next new moon.  Yeah, you CAN go to war anytime, but, ofc, the new moon is a huge strategic advantage for those opening hours which are so key.

The iron is hot.  Your enemies will only grow in strength.  What do you do?

Fun times.

123 You have a new moon on Saturday. Then it's 28 days more of the world being on fire before the next new moon. Yeah, you CAN go to war anytime, but, ofc, the new moon is a huge strategic advantage for those opening hours which are so key.

The iron is hot. Your enemies will only grow in strength. What do you do?

Fun times.


So... Tehran will be glowing in the dark on Saturday?

124 One thing I'll say for Hillary! She looks like John Adams.

125 The Last Temptation of Christ was protested vigorously. The difference is that Bacile indirectly and inadvertently inflamed people half a world away, resulting in the deaths of U.S. Embassy personnel. Let me pick through this. First, there's an admission that Bacile's actions were indirect and inadvertent. At the very very very most, that would rise to the level of third degree manslaughter. Maybe. Hell, that's not enough for civil liability. Second, does that idiotic pathetic cunt (no I will not apologize for using the c word) not realize that the logical conclusion of her position is that Christians need to start killing people to have their religion taken seriously? I am rather certain she doesn't. Insty's been beating this drum for years, that incentives are being structured to require blood for respect. People are paying attention to that.

126 sobek points out this thing: Does the President of the United States have power to appoint a Secretary of State who was a member of a Congress that voted a pay-raise for that position? You could look at the Constitution, Article I, Section 6, clause 2, and say no, the Constitution clearly forbids that, and the President does not have that power. Or you could point out that Obama did precisely that when he appointed Hillary Clinton, and it turns out that in actual point of fact, apparently he does have that power Okay, I am a moron, so that seems pretty clearly against the law. And it also seems like the sort of thing that someone might have actually mentioned. And yet.... Seriously, we have given up as a society.

127 It has been non stop rioting here in Utah ever since The Book of Mormon opened in Broadway.

128 Third dead guy is named Daughtery, from MA. Was a Navy Seal, then did "private security". Think Haliburton or Blackwater. A real patriot. I hate this fucking guy. He kills better man than him without thought and with impunity. Those that have taken the least personal risk in life seem to be the most cavalier with it

130 "Pray that he wins" Romney will win...and the obama/carter comparison will be complete. the ground swell will not be captured by the polls until November

Fox is reporting that one was a former navy SEAL working for a private security contractor.  At least Fox is trying to learn the identities.  Other media are tring to run away from this Obama-induced calamity so much that they are failing to even pursue the very basic who, what, why, when where and how of the news business.

Friend --

I usually don't email you -- but I have an amazing invitation I have to share.

Jay and I will be meeting up with President Obama for an evening in NYC sometime soon. And we want you to be there!

Until midnight tonight, if you pitch in $15, or whatever you can, you'll be automatically entered to be flown out to join us.

I've had the honor of meeting President Obama and the First Lady a few times -- and believe me -- it's an opportunity you don't want to miss.

Don't worry about the airfare and hotel, it's taken care of. And you can bring a guest.

But the countdown is on -- this opportunity ends at midnight:

Can't wait to meet you!

Love,

B

131 i think you're right. am in a college town wheree every other car had an O bumper sticker last time. now, not so much. i've seen fewer than 10.

135 126 No need to apologize,I think her picture is in the dictionary for that word.

136 Romney should tell the media he's seriously considering taking the advice of the Progs who are calling for restrictions on religiously offensive speech. Then he shld stand at the podium for a minute, refusing to clarify. Then he shld walk away. The Muslims overseas are offensive enough, but their enablers in this country sicken me.

Jello salad as far as the eye can see!

139 @125 You take that back!

140 @139 Home made rootbeer and funeral potatoes!

141 I'm serious. I would like to see former military, christians from the ME, and other patriots picketing the White House

142 Some good news, I've been following Twitter this
a.m. and I think Kristen Powers is just about ready to support Romney.
She is not happy with the press or Obama over this whole Middle East
fiasco.


*****

I've been saying for a while now that she looks, at times, like she's ready to throw up her arms and scream "Fuck it!"

She appears to have a conscience and for some time now has been having a hard time taking the pro-Obama stance on FNC. Some days she pulls it off but more often than not, she simply cannot make the case.

143 When I look at that headline photo up at Drudge, I scroll to where only part of the photo is visible and relish the fact that it looks like a body-cast.

144 BTW, for those that find international diplomacy very confusing, here is a trick I learned in college.

Make a brief written timeline of important events.  Then make a brief written timeline of important SYMBOLIC actions.  Internationally diplomacy (among civilized folks) occurs at the highest levels through formal symbolic communication.

Example (pick out who you think is Israel and who you think is America in this):  An ambassador requests to a Sec. of State for such-and-such a meeting.  Then the ambassador requests to the Executive for such and such a meeting.  Being rebuffed both times.

Then, the head of state places a direct phone call to the Executive, requesting such-and-such a meeting.  He is rebuffed due to "scheduling issues."

The requesting country then leaks to media sources (starting with its domestic media) what has occurred.  The trebuffing country responds not by "clearing up confusing"  "rescheduling for this important event" or "Setting up a future meeting in early October."

Rather, the rebuffing country distributes to all its press the President's schedule for the next week.  On 9/11 he is hanging out with DJ Pimp with the Limp.  The next day he has to be on Letterman, you know, hang out with the clowns.  Then he is going to Vegas.  To raise funds from (non-Jewish) donors.  Then the day after that he is going to go watch another clown show with this Leno guy.

We often view these things as part of our normal news cycle (and to an extent they are), but a lot of stuff like that, info being released, the timing of it, etc, is how international diplomacy takes places.  Things are communicated symbolically.

Add the Jerusalem stuff to the above, a recent serious diplomatic faux pas in Israel (the American ambassador to Israel interrupted BiBi in a formal diplomatic meeting, broke all protocol, and began scolding him.  This was BIG in Israel), and now This Fucking Guy is letting his own embassy workers get RAPED and MURDERED and he does nothing.

How do you feel, RIGHT NOW, if you are Bibi?

The iron is hot.  Your enemies grow bolder and stronger as each day passes.  What do you do when the dark night arrives this Saturday?

145

stuck home waiting for a utility co agent. So saw this on FOX just now: 16 ounce limit on 'sugary' soft drinks in theaters, restaurants etc. I don't know what would happen if I ordered two of them, though. Businesses that violate the law can be fined $200.

fascism: it never really went out of style.

I can't imagine the disgust and rage you are all feeling with this outrageous foreign policy disaster you find yourselves in, courtesy of your disaster of a President 

 

I also wish I could link properly from Down Under but I don't want to embarass myself with stuffing up the blog as I can't figure out the correct way to post links these days

 

We have our own problems Down Under with our delightfully socialist Government but it all means nothing because we are just a little blot in the Pacific - you are the drivers of what happens in the world and I'm scared stiff of the damage your idiot in charge and the dangerous enablers in your MSM can cause around the world

In addition, as a proud daily lurker, I noticed someone commenting on spelling - we spell color as colour

Also rooting has an entirely different meaning Down Under and I sincerely hope your President is rooted in the election! Double and triple rooted!

Please refer to an Aussie dictionary online to find out what rooting means here - (hint) it's not how you use the word

NightWatch Special Comment: Ambassador Anne Patterson's April Glaspie moment.

Ambassador Anne Patterson, the US Ambassador to Egypt, experienced her 'April Glaspie' moment yesterday when she blamed Americans instead of Egyptians for attacking, storming and desecrating the US Embassy in Cairo and the US Flag.

Old hands will remember, April Glaspie, who was a rising star in the State Department's constellation of diplomats. Her notorious conversation with Saddam Hussein in early 1990 led Saddam to believe that the US encouraged and condoned an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

Having worked closely with US officials for a decade in the struggle and war against Iran, Saddam understood that everything after the Glaspie talk was plausible deniability by US President Bush, 41.

Glaspie misunderstood and misjudged the Iraqi leadership and the situation in Iraq. Patterson's operations at the US Embassy in Cairo bespeak a comparable misjudgment of the Egyptian Arab situation, its volatility and the depth of anti-American sentiment.

She did not permit US Marine guards to carry live ammunition, according to USMC blogs. Thus she neutralized any US military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.

In this respect, she did not defend US sovereign territory and betrayed her oath of office. She neutered the Marines posted to defend the embassy, trusting the Egyptians over the Marines.

She apparently judges that Egyptian President Mursi spearheads a democracy and a new civil order, despite the mounting evidence that Mursi disregards US interests, cavorts with US enemies, is a budding authoritarian ruler who disdains parliament and does not honor the basic obligations of diplomatic agreements and the Geneva conventions.

Readers, by definition, whenever an embassy of any country is overrun by locals in any country, everyone knows that the ambassador and senior staff must be replaced.

149 I hate our enemies. But I do not root for war. If we had a strong leader as a deterrent, we would not be in this position.

150 hey aussie capt. awesome is going to be run out of office just like the peanut farmer. you watch. we aren't going to take this any more.

151 I hate our enemies. But I do not root for war. If we had a strong leader as a deterrent, we would not be in this position.

152 aussie, are you using Firefox?  There's an  add-on called 'Create TinyUrl' which allows you to right click on any page and create a tiny url that is saved to your clipboard automatically.  You can then just paste it here.

"This work takes on added urgency given the truly abhorrent video that has offended so many people--Muslims, and non-Muslims alike—in our country and around the world."

 

"And, you know, THOSE people are so easily upset. We need to alter our expectations for them."

 

The Left's soft bigotry of low expectations. Black Americans. Muslims. Same ol', same ol'.  

155

151 I'll be watching all night on your election day - probably needing a sickie the next day because your elections happen on weekdays

 

156 Aussie...you can do one better...come here and get a library card and you too can vote him out!

157 I thought the last flame thread was the last post that mentioned the SCOAMF.

158 Mr President! Our embassies have been attacked, our flags burned, our diplomats killed; what is your response? Four more years! Jackass.

159 153 Tami - thanks for that - I've got Firefox but IE on default so I'll try Firefox - I would like to post links from here especially when they have some relevance to your US issues

160 you'se guys might have gotten emails from Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Trigger, but I got one from Beyonce!

161 Oh,

And when Barky is done hanging out with clowns and DJs he'll return to D.C.

But he STILL won't meet with BiBi.

The new President of Egypt, however, gets a meeting with TFG even when he doesn't request it 3 times, including with a direct request from Executive to Executive by phone.

So.  The iron is hot.  And after this Saturday you must wait 28 more days.  What do you do?

162

Hanging on for dear life! I'm so grateful for gravity....

Again, I realize that Posting about FaceBook is about as worthless as Doing  Research on Wiki...but...

 

If any of you other FaceChimpers are follwing  any of the  Romney / Ryan pages, you'll know what I'm saying when  every possible RR feed on there  has been FLOODED with a horde of Egyptian  spammers promoting Islam and promoting U.S.  adoption of a Blasphemy Law.

 

"Please allow me to explain the actions of these angry youths."

 

No.  No  explanation necessary.  They are  fucking animals.

 

"They are angry over a movie produced in the U.S. by Americans."

 

Really?  I made a movie?  I think I'd remember that.  The four people that you killed this week were stars in the movie?   Were producers?  Were in any way more involved in that movie than I was?  Fascinating...

 

"Please show solidarity by implementing laws that prohibit insults to other religions, just as are already in place for those in your country who insult Zionism and the Holocaust."

 

Wow, I had no idea that it was already illegal in the US to be a Holocaust denier.  Who  knew?

 

"Please help us to build bridges instead of walls."

 

Eh, no.  I'm good with walls.  Apparently we need higher ones around our Embassies to keep you murdering barbarians outside, but I'm good with walls.  You  want a bridge?  Here's  a start for your bridge:  stop fucking killing people that   make you mad.  I don't get to.  You  shouldn't   get to, either.

164 yes, terrorists are welcome at this White House. Ask Bill Ayers

How  dare you Paint her in such a light?

@159 - the current push  is...wait for it...ROMNEY'S  FAULT!

 

No kidding.

 

Romney's   immediate response to the situation  in Cairo  is what sparked the Libyan Embassy Strike.  Seriously, we are being told by "experts" in the DNC that if Mitt had shut up and  said nothing,  none of these other attacks would be happening.

 

The balls on deez guys.

169

CNN is all over the evil movie producer angle.  He might be a Jew or a Christian, you see. 

Watching our media, POTUS, and even military go full bore against the First Amendment made me realize something awful:  for the first time in my entire life, I'm not proud to be an American.

Change!

170

@168 - I spent probably a good hour or so last night exercising  my Freedom of Expression by marking each last one of them as "hate speech, threatening to other religions."

 

Sorry, if you're going to  explain-away  the attacks, then in my eyes, you are complicit, and would do the same thing,  if given the chance.  FOAD, Ahmir.  DIAF, Mayoraize.

 

Mayoraize was probably the best fake-name I think I've ever seen on FB, BTW.

 

 Is he going to take over  after the political aspirations  finally take hold and we all wind up with Senator McCheese?

171 OMG Has the internet made all speech a virtual violation of the "Logan Act" ?

172

lamestream media going beserk b/c romney looked presidential (and when was the last time that word could be applied to obozo) and sounded presidential.

 

he stood up for freedom! what's not to like? and how long has it been since we've had someone in leadership do that?

This is the day that All Bad Things went from "Bush's Fault" to "Romney's Fault."

174 I gave up reading when I didn't see a picture of pointy elbows.

175 @174  9-11-12 is the day the scales started falling off the eyes of americans who don't usually pay attention to politics and the world. obama is going to go.

176

Gerry - yeah, they don't do much of that at  IB.  They like to go all fancy-pants with WORDS and stuff. 

 

But they  might still have  Zeppellin Races on the other-other-splitters, The Hostages.  Go there on Fridays. 

 

DO NOT GO THERE ON WEDNESDAYS.  They  let   the ladies  bring out the Fire Hoses on Wednesdays.

 

Only go on Fridays.

177 /ot to Esquire, Tom Junod, pity the guy can't admit what sort of person he is himself. Sure, pigeon hole Clint Eastwood as the cranky old man from Gran Torino. Refuse to recognize that Eastwood's right about Obama, Barry won't let go of power, loving the trappings.

178 Sobek?  THE Sobek?   Yea, that Sobek.

Spot on.  Not really long at all when the visual aids are discounted.  He lied -- I saw no cracker crumbs littering the floor, so there was clearly some editing done.
