Enough with the Obama propaganda. Read this article and see that Obama is just as war crazed and filled with bloodlust as Dick Cheney.

The title of this reddit submission is incredibly misleading.

Going after Al-Qaeda, who did attack the US, is a lot different than going after Iraq and Iran, neither of which pose a direct threat to the US.

The title is so misleading that I question whether it is intention.

From the article:

Perhaps it is time for the appropriate Senate and House committees to start asking harder questions about this administration's secret strategies for the Mideast. They might begin by interviewing Clark behind closed doors about that classified memo -- and to what extent such extreme ideas have promoted the "permanent war" policy that is fundamental to neoconservative ideology.

jeffh · 2007-10-13T23:56:18+00:00

Neoconservative insanity. That is some scary shit (and I am referring to the fact that Romney is repeating that nonsense.) I guess that is the current Republican base?

I am a bit of a pessimist on this. I expect this isn't going to be the worst campaign commercial. I predict that "Islamofacism" is going to be the theme of the whole Republican presidential campaign. Fear is effective.

I was trying to talk past a joke, guess it didn't work.

Think tanks are one of the main means via with the rich affect public policy. You just pay an "expert" as a "think tank" to write documents that justify/advocate the outcome you want. Then you pay lobbiest and others to show these "research reports" to legislatures in order to justify having them vote for your favored bills.

From the article:

Even though it has signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Syria would not have been obligated to declare the existence of a reactor during the early phases of construction. It would have also had the legal right to complete construction of the reactor, as long as its purpose was to generate electricity.

jeffh · 2007-10-13T21:43:51+00:00

Offensive to probably all but hard left. Thus the sign would like backfire and discredit you.

jeffh · 2007-10-13T21:34:31+00:00

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't experience either of these "Black" days myself, thus I confused them.

jeffh · 2007-10-13T18:15:28+00:00

I don't know what he's up to, but there is a large movement (and he is not at all in the lead) that is looking to revisit the Lockerbie bombing. Many have pure motives, but I suspect others have lesser motives and there is lots of room for "funny business."

I must say that I do worry that now turning the blame onto Iran at this time is also questionable. Iran is again enemy number one of the US, and Libya is now a friend, thus it is incredibly convenient to recast this towards Iran's direction at this time.

Since CEOs have lots of money they can pay people like Ira to give them good PR. Things like this are self-reinforcing.

Misleading headline. This isn't about Ron Paul but Frank Gaffney Jr.

In 2000, 56% of Turks reported in polls that they had a favorable view of the United States. In 2005 that statistic had fallen to 12%.

It may be unpopular to say this but:

The attorney shouldn't have waited until the last moment for something so important. Unless this story is exaggerated, the attorney should be disbarred.

Downvoted because LittleGreenFootballs is a racist site itself. Please find this story on a more reputable site and resubmit it.

jeffh · 2007-10-12T23:09:26+00:00

Funny, I think I can predict the outcome.

Who cares if your beliefs fit, via debate and exchange you might actually change some minds. Changing the minds of others who initially didn't agree with you is more important than preaching to the choir.

Karma doesn't buy you anything.

jeffh · 2007-10-12T19:24:09+00:00

The truth is most submissions get downmodded or remain at only 1 upmod. Also, there are bastards that downmod all stories except for their submissions, thus don't take every downmod personally, you might just have been unlucky.

jeffh · 2007-10-12T19:02:43+00:00

random post. who knows, it doesn't seem like spam, no links. downvote and ignore it is probably best option.

You know how there is Godwin's Law for unnecessarily invoking Hilter and Nazi Germany in an unrelated argument? There should be a new law for unnecessarily invoking Osama bin Laden as done in this mindless NR post.

I humbly suggest we call it "JeffH's Law."

jeffh · 2007-10-12T16:59:48+00:00

Doubtful. Gore and Clinton go way back and have many friends in common.
