I told you the Klinton’s had no problems with what Obambi’s preacher was saying:
{{{{The 1998 White House photo of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., and President Bill Clinton at a prayer service (one where Vice President Al Gore was in attendance, as was Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to her schedule), isn’t the only foray the Clintons had with Wright.}}}}
Bwa.

Ahhh, yes, the demokrats will make the rest of the world “love” us:
{{{{China accused the Dalai Lama on Sunday of stoking Tibetan unrest to sabotage the Beijing Olympics and also berated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying she is ignoring the truth about Tibet.}}}}
Is there no one you libs won’t start a fight with, other than al Qaeda?

{{{{The former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination was compared by one Clinton adviser to Judas this week following his voiced support of Clinton’s rival, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., The Washington Post reported.}}}}
{{{{“I’m not going to get in the gutter like that,” Richardson said of the comments from informal Clinton adviser James Carville. “And you know, that’s typical of many of the people around Senator Clinton. They think they have a sense of entitlement to the presidency.”}}}}
Can’t you just feel the love?

There “could” be a “dark” lining behind every storm cloud, eh, Urinal?
Nothing like using “if’s” and “but’s” to talk down the economy.

{{{{Iraq Developments: > Twelve gunmen were killed in a raid against a suspected suicide bombing network east of Baqouba.-Urinal}}}}
Same story, different news agency:
{{{{Coalition forces killed 12 terrorists today during an operation east of Baqouba, targeting members of a suicide bombing network. The ground force was attacked with small arms fire as they approached the target building. Responding to the hostile threat, Coalition forces engaged five armed men, killing them. The ground force ordered the occupants to come out of the building. Some complied, but others remained inside. Coalition forces entered the building and were fired upon by several armed men. Seven more terrorists were killed in the engagement, and Coalition forces detained five suspects on the scene. Assault weapons, ammunition, grenades and military-style assault vests discovered on site were safely destroyed. Six of the terrorists killed had shaved their bodies, which is consistent with final preparation for suicide operations.}}}}
The Urinal will list auto accidents and mortar rounds that hit nothing as “attacks,” and then omit American successes.
Why is that?

Government funded pro demokrat, anti American propaganda, the same old fever swamps revisited:

Nonsense like “Bush’s War” shows why PBS should be cut off from federal tax money.

Another kook in the Obambi closet:
{{{{Well, it is likely that Obama will soon be having to retract Merrill McPeak. McPeak, who was arrested last year for driving under the influence, apparently has a problem controlling more than his thirst for fermented beverages. He also has a penchant for bashing Israel or, more particularly, Jews who oppose negotiating with terrorists.}}}}
Apparently, Obambi has been looking in the fever swamps to find advisors.
~~~~~
{{{{Obama is also a lot like Al Gore and John Edwards in preaching a politics of “Us versus Them” or “the people versus the powerful.” Like them, Obama practices a politics of fear and blame, a politics that has become the Democratic norm in the post-Clinton era. Like them, Obama hopes to foster enough anger in voters to win the election. In Democratic primaries, blaming small, despised minorities (the rich, the special interests, business) for all the troubles of voters hardly requires courage or leadership. Indeed, it might appear to be the easiest path to victory.}}}}
{{{{But still, one might wonder: What does Obama’s politics of fear have to do with unifying a divided nation? Or is it that the demons defined in his speeches have no legitimate place in Obama’s America?}}}}
~~~~~
Like I was saying:
{{{{For 20 years, such “support” included using Fedayeen Saddam training camps to school terrorists, especially Palestinians but also non-Iraqis “directly associated” with al Qaeda, continuing up to the fall of Baghdad. Saddam also provided financial support and weapons, amounting to “a state-directed program of significant scale.” In July 2001, the regime began patronizing a terror cartel in Bahrain calling itself the Army of Muhammad, which, according to an Iraqi memo, “is under the wings of bin Laden.”}}}}

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: March 24, 2008 CONTACT: Kara Horowitz, IAVA kara@iava.org, 212-982-9699 Veterans Mourn the Loss of 4,000 U.S. Troops in Iraq Death Toll Is a Stark Reminder of the Human Cost of War
NEW YORK - On Sunday the death toll of U.S. servicemembers in Iraq reached 4,000. In response, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the nation’s first and largest non-partisan organization for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, issued the following statement:
“The 4000th KIA in Iraq is newsworthy, but the truth is that every death should be a news item,” said Paul Rieckhoff, Executive Director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. “The 4000th death should not be exploited in the polarized arguments about the war. Honoring the fallen is neither a pro nor an anti war statement. It’s about respecting the sacrifice of thousands of America’s sons and daughters.”
Last week, IAVA called on the media to report more thoroughly on the war in Iraq. According to the Pew Research Center, last month’s media coverage of the war was at its lowest point in five years and less than a third of the public knew how many troops had died in Iraq.
“Over 80% of Americans are aware that Oprah Winfrey endorsed Senator Obama, yet only 28% know how many troops have died in Iraq. These numbers are a slap in the face to everyone who has served in the current conflicts,” said Rieckhoff. “While thousands of military families across the country are coping with the heartbreaking loss of a loved one, most Americans don’t even know the death toll.”
“Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families who have sacrificed for the war. But the fallen are much more than a statistic. More than half of those killed were under the age of 25 and many have left young families behind. Over 2,200 children have lost a parent in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) is the nation’s first and largest group for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A non-profit and nonpartisan organization, IAVA represents more than 80,000 veteran members and civilian supporters in all 50 states. To arrange an interview with Paul Rieckhoff or any other IAVA member veterans, please contact Kara Horowitz at (212)-982-9699, or email kara@iava.org.

Combat deaths at the end of the 5th year in Vietnam, a war that the demokrats started, escalated and then fled from the battlefield in terror, wasting the lives of our brave soldiers, causing a genocide that claimed 2 million lives and leaving a free democratic country to the oppression of the communists, which remain in power to this very day:

Something the alledgedly fiscal conservative Repubs have said nothing about…. when McCain was touring the world recently on the taxpayers dollar, he stopped in Great Britain and held a fund raiser. Since he “politicized” the trip, will he refund to the U S Treasury the cost of flying in an armed forces plane to GB from the US and back? His fundraising didn’t go to the war on terrorism, did it?

The RNC has filed suit in federal court to have Easter moved to December when it falls on an election year. In the brief, the RNC lawyers stated, “Easter promotes the studying of the Bible, clearly giving an unfair advantage to the Democrats. While we would be satisfied with a resolution to keep the Bibles closed on Easter, allowing both parties to use the Bible solely for bludgeoning purposes, we understand this to be unrealistic. Therefore, we request the holiday to be moved to the winter, preferably December, in order to give the good, capitalistic American a solid eleven months in which to forget all that ‘love your brother’ business before casting his vote.”

“Hagee believes God communicates with the “spiritually hard of hearing,” through earthquakes.”
He claims that, “New Age theories and philosophy are nothing but deception,” and warns that these are signs of the end times. According to Hagee, biblical prophecy states about the end times: “Everyone will deceive his neighbor, and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity” (Jer. 9:5).
http://catholic-resources.org/Students/JohnHagee/signs.html
Hagee suggests that since Russia longs to become the superpower it once was, it will try to make a pack with the Islamic nations, who are enraged by the destruction of the Dome of the Rock by Israel. Hagee predicts that the Islamic nations will allow Russia to have its oil resources in exchange for an alliance, whose sole intent is to eliminate Israel. This will secure the site of the Dome of the Rock and provide the Russian Empire with the control of the oil resources of the middle east. Hagee predicts that this will happen just before the midpoint of the Tribulation. This Coalition between Russia and the Islamic nations will “come from [its] place out of the far north, [it] and many peoples with [it], all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. [The Coalition] will come up against My people like a cloud, to cover the land” (Ezekiel 38:15-16). This coalition, according to Hagee, will be defeated by God’s supernatural power and that “all men who are on the face of the earth will shake at God’s presence…God will call for a sword against Gog…every man’s sword will be against his brother…God will rain down…hailstones, fire and brimstone…God will magnify Himself and sanctify Himself and will be known in the eyes of all nations” (Ezek. 38:19-23). Hagee believes that at this battle God will shake the earth with a might earthquake and neutralize the Russian-Islamic forces and that Russian will turn against Russian and Arab against Arab by the confusion brought on by God. Hagee interprets the “fire and brimstones” as Israel’s release of nuclear weapons on the invading forces. Hagee takes the reader into new depths of science fiction. No where in the passages Hagee cites is there any mention of oil o

More on Andi’s favorite Clergycon:
The latest specimen in Barnum’s traveling museum of oddities is John Hagee, director of Christians United for Israel. As profiled in The Wall Street Journal [1], this dervish from the West Texas wastes seemingly lives, breathes, and excretes but one obsession: his love of Israel, above and beyond anything else, including, apparently, the country of which he is nominally a citizen.
We will not provide a comprehensive summary of the article other than to note that he and his followers are particularly active in cheering on the carnage in Lebanon. To that end, he was in the imperial capital of Washington last week to hound Congressmen about their duty of fealty to Israel as if those gunsels of AIPAC needed any instruction. Apparently, the bigger and bloodier the war, the closer the day of Armageddon looms. And the end of the world is what he seeks. [2]
Sounds like Bush:
Sir, global warming?
Bush: Who cares?
What about our poor schools?
Bush: Pshaw!!
Sir, the dead veterans are piling up at Walter Reed?
Bush: “I’ve got bigger fish to fry. I’m setting the table for Jesus at the Armageddon…Wooooooooooooooooo!!!”

And still more from John McCain’s “Spriitual advisor!”
Two revealing details stand out. The first is that the President of the United States actually sent a message of congratulations to Hagee’s Washington clambake. Paradoxically, the chief executive stated that Hagee and his acolytes are “spreading the hope of God’s love …” This statement is somewhat difficult to square with the fact that Hagee, who held one of his previous séances in an Israeli Air Force hangar, seems to positively lust for bloodshed. He is not only a strong supporter of the Iraq fiasco and the leveling of apartment blocks in Beirut, but has also written a book fomenting readers to put political pressure on their government to attack Iran.
This is a new development in the annals of American politics. While the head magistrate is expected to belong to an organized religion and show ceremonial piety when the occasion demands it, it is unprecedented for a president to take such public interest in a fringe cult. It is doubtful whether the genial, (bootleg) whiskey-drinking Warren Gamaliel Harding ever sent a congratulatory telegram to the spirit-rappings of Aimee Semple McPherson. Nor can we picture Silent Cal bestowing his best wishes on a congregation of snake-handlers in the hollows of the Cumberland Ridge. But, as we have observed, these are different times.
Where’s the outrage, Andi/RW/@@/Shawny/Dusty? Where’s the outrage that someone would willfully try to bring about the End Times? That sounds an awful lot like man trying to do God’s work, doesn’t it!?! I thought man playing God was the Devil’s Work?
All Rev. Wright pointed out was how the black people have been screwed by us white folk for more than 200 years…something none of us honkies could EVER IMAGINE!!!
Rev. Hagee is an agent of your devil, and, since he is McCain’s spiritual advisor, so is McCain - you know, that whole guilt-by-association thingy!!

Another excellent letter to the editor today. A retired Brigadier General who served as company commander with the 101st Airborne in Viet Nam noted that King George II (my words) has proposed an additional $30 BILLION in military aid for Israel over the next decade.
Israel uses US weapons to enforce its illegal 40-year military occupation and seige of the West bank, east jersualem and the Gaza Strip and to commit human rights violations against civilians in Lebanon.
This is in direct violation of our Arms Export Control Act and Foreign Assistance Act.
And you amazingly stupid “conservatives” when asked why the sandies keep trying to kill us reply, “because they hate us for our freedoms”.
Yeah sure Jethro.
Stupid AND gullible. Your typical Reagan/Gingrich/Bush Republican.

SO, the Democrats started the Viet Nam War?
I guess those military “advisors” sent to Viet Nam by the Eisenhower administration don’t really count. Nor the CIA guys.
The Democrats certainly gave the issue critical mass. And Nixon added his own measure of blood.
I’d say the “military-industrial” complex had a vested interest in that little war, too. Then how about all those Americans who insisted that we stay there so that those who died wouldn’t have died for nothing (explain the intelligence behind that reasoning to the families of those who died after the anti-war movement started).

For all of you Bushco dipsh!ts, TV alert:
Join “Bush’s War” in marking a dismal anniversary.
A two-part “Frontline” documentary begins tonight with the attacks of 9/11. Then step by step it moves toward the worst administration in US history’s shock and awe response.
Be prepared to stick your collective hands up your fat a*******es AGAIN, neo-cons, rather than learn about our fighter-pilot hero’s secret war - not so secret now though. And it will be good for the nation to see it exposed in great detail by PBS.
(No wonder the would-be book burning Nazis in the Republican Party always want to slash funds for the Corp. for Public Broadcasting).
Behind the scenes, Sec. Colin Powell and CIA Director George tenet were battling Dickhead Cheney and Sec. of Defense Scumsfeld.
Powell advised King George II to begin pulling together a worldwide coalition.
Of course, the boob didn’t. He preferred the ridiculous cartoon image of a go-it-alone cowboy.
But according to journalist Bob Woodward, that same night the scumbag DefSec said “part of our response maybe should be attacking Iraq. Its an opportunity.”
Scumsfeld set up his own info-gathering unit because he didn’t like the info from the FBI and CIA that ran counter to his deluded wishes of a “connection”, of WMDs, of whatever… They later of course vehemently disputed Scumbag’s “findings” of an all-important link between Hussein and OBL.
And they were proven right, of course.
As the rest of the planet now excepts that the administration cooked the books just for the bloodlust of these flat-earth society chest-pounding chickenhawks.
These f&ckups have the blood of 4000 American GIs on their hands.
And by proxy the POS neo-cons who voted for them twice.

{{{{The big problem with the Argo findings is that all the major climate computer models postulate that as much as 80-90% of global warming will result from the oceans warming rapidly then releasing their heat into the atmosphere.}}}}

AmVet, I’m hearing more and more that we can’t leave Iraq and make the deaths of those 4000 in vain. Does that have a familiar ring?
They should all be honored whether we stay or leave, for doing their jobs.
