Wow, great responses. It goes something like this:
Trolls, Jill Stein, drones are cool.
Easy to remember and requires so little thought. Support the Troops!

Wow,
This post was written repeatedly a few years back, just substituting Obama for Bush and Jill Stein for “weak liberals.” I can’t believe it has really come to this. Were any of you around at the beginning of this century? Jesus, this is depressing to read.

I get it. Just say Jill Stein a few times and you can excuse Obama for anything. Did you learn that from TBogg or did you both come up with it independently…

Uh, he’s been in office for how long? As to your second question, I can only laugh.

Yes, everything’s “plain and simple.” Obama has been trying so hard to close down Guantanamo for the past 5 years and no one would let him do it, while there were scores of well thought out news stories about closing it down. That’s one fantasy. Another more likely scenario is that Obama doesn’t and never had his heart into closing it down and the news media remains as complicit with him as they did with Bush on such subjects. Whatever else you want to say about Benjamin and Code Pink, there was a time when they were as close to an opposing opinion to the “War on Terror” as you were going to get and not a whole lot has changed. You may not like her, but you dislike her more now that she is now standing up to your man crush.

TBogg,
I think it’s fair to ask whether you are being paid by the Obama Administration or whether this is just a man crush? Really sad to see how far you can sink. You can be proud that you now stand with Obama and Dick Cheney. The Neo-neocons have arrived.

Apparently, it was impossible to write a coherent post defending the Obama administration… or I am just so jaded that I can’t follow the rationalizations and twists of logic necessary to make me care anymore.

I used to like to come to a blog with a similar name, but it was done by a guy who took a stand against Bush and the bogus wars and lies he promoted, back when everyone was running around peeing their pants about terrorists. It was refreshing. Some smartass right-winger apparently took over his blog when it sold out to FireDogLake. Sad…

Just out of curiosity, because I hear the “Israel has a right to exist” comment a lot, do you feel strongly that Iran has a right to exist, as well?

Fast forward about 2 months, when this is largely forgotten and absolutely nothing is done, save maybe some faux legislation to prevent double bayonets. The country is filled with too many paranoid nutcakes and no one has the will to really take them on.

The number of Israelis killed by missiles from Gaza since 2004 is 26, or about twice as many people as the guy who dressed up like the Joker killed in one night in Colorado. Meanwhile, Israel has killed hundreds and hundreds of people in Gaza and blockaded and starved the population. Who is protecting themselves from whom?

I don’t know what Obama’s foreign policy “wisdom” is. He appears to be showing the same amount of wisdom as George Bush, at least at the moment ,and I think I have more than Bush. Arguing further about this will be like arguing with people about how we had to stop Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Did you not watch Netanyahu with his time bomb cartoon presentation? Have you not seen the actions of Israel for the past few decades? Did you think the Neocons just disappeared? He wants the U.S. to go into Iran. I think it is obvious that Obama isn’t going to stand up to him. If you want to believe something else, keep reading the same newsletters you are currently reading.

Uh, do you think that Israel is just defending itself? If so, I’d hate to read the newletters you use for your information.

I think he is just getting warmed up with Gaza. That will get him his election, then he will try to widen the war and drag the U.S. in. This seems pretty obvious, really. I tried to hold out hope that Obama would not take the bait, but he is showing himself to be wise only at getting himself elected. Maybe it’s time to start furnishing my South American condo…

I’d find this a lot funnier this morning if I hadn’t already seen Obama supporting Israel’s right to “defend” itself. My schadenfreudian giddiness is starting to wear off quickly.

When I see pictures like this, the first thing I think about is what the Hell ever happened to LSD? What a great drug and so many of these people would benefit from just one little tab. I’m for a party that runs on solar panels, birth control and psychedelics. How about that for the new Republican Party?

Hang tight, TBogg. I’d say Sanchez has one bad half left in him before they send in Tebow.

Just got back from a secret meeting of Ohioans for Jill Stein. We thought we had everyone fooled into believing that there were only 14 of us and we were entirely inconsequential. We would’ve succeeded if it wasn’t for TBogg’s endless meddling posts uncovering our plot. I guess there’s nothing left to do but vote for Roseanne Barr.
P.S. San Luis Obispo? I just keep a little place there so I can be closer to you and Mitt Romney.

What do you mean? I’m an Ohioan for Jill Stein. First Ohio, then the nation. There are literally billions of us, as you probably know considering how much you focus on this grave threat. Our Dykes on Bikes contingency alone will crush Obama.

Do me a favor TBogg: Assuming Obama wins (a fairly safe assumption) and assuming we “come to the aid” of Israel shortly thereafter in another ill-conceived war (another fairly safe assumption); please be consistent and support that glorious war. Tell everyone who opposes it to “grow the fuck up” and suck it up. You can then sound like one of the spineless democrats who supported Bush’s adventures. And need I remind you that there were an awful lot of them.
