McCain Camp Attacks Obama For Flip-Flopping On Genocide
And they do it while Obama is visiting a Holocaust memorial.
Obama on Genocide
Obama today at Yad Vashem:
“Let our children come here and know this history so they can add their voices to proclaim ‘never again.’ And may we remember those who perished, not only as victims but also as individuals who hoped and loved and dreamed like us and who have become symbols of the human spirit.”Obama on July 20, 2007:
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.“Well, look, if that’s the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now – where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife – which we haven’t done,” Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.
As Ben Smith at Politco put it:
The filters do seem to be off over there, for better or worse: Attacking your rival while he’s visiting a Holocaust memorial, and accusing him of willing complicity in genocide…well, it’s a way to get some attention.
May not be “fair” but Obama needs to be more careful and consistent with his messages. They caught him on this and he’d be well to clarify his real position.

Ok, so who is aware that Senator Harry Reid wants to spend $11.3 billion, yes with a B, more of our tax dollars? Check senate bill 3297 and tell me if he’s telling us, his employers, what he wants to do with it. I wrote what I know about it in a letter to leaders which you can find on http://www.congress.org

His position: genocide is horrible.
The United States is not stopping all genocide in the world.
Should we? He hasn’t stated his opinion.
hey, I understood that, and I didn’t even go to college.

There was’nt a single black at the G8 Summit. Something Obama seems to have overlooked.
July 23rd, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Genocide for everyone…
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:04 pm
This stinks of desperation from the McCain camp. Sometimes things get so ridiculous in politics that it’s not even worth acknowledging. Obama supports genocide? For God’s sake.

The liberal left supported and supports genocide.
The liberal left of the USA delivered the massacre of the Killing fields with Jimmy Carter as president;
The liberal left opposed any military strike against their hero Saddam Hussein (not to be confused with Barack Hussein Obama) back in 2002 and 2003 while scores of thousands of Iraki people were brutally executed or worse. Even with the details of the genocide by Hussein and the Iraki regime? the liberal left DEMANDED that the US do NOTHING to help stop the genocide.
To this day, the liberal left is FURIOUS with the Bush administration for stopping the genocide and stopping a sponsor of terrorism
When we do the same FACT CHECKING on Hussein Obama? we find out that he supports terrorist groups. Whats that? how? by saying terrorists did what they did because of poverty and unfair treatment by the Jews who stole their land, so its really payback for Israel and the Jewish people. Hussein Obama may even say the genocide was a bad thing, but he believes (based on his words) that its Israel’s fault;
Back when Terri Schiavo was being murdered the liberal left, held back by police, came after her with torches and pitchforks, saying: she is a Christian! kill her!
That was one bizzare murder that is or should be in the collection of Ripley’s believe it or not; A woman who survived a murder attempt by her husband is placed into the care of that husband, who makes the claim “Terri said she wanted to be put to death if she is in the hospital for any reason “(paraphrased).
Terri’s condition worsens, her parents plead to keep her alive and take care of her, the husband says NO, we want to get the insurance money from her murder/death.
Meanwhile in the WORST thing Bill OReilly has ever done at foxnews? he made the case to murder Terri Schiavo, saying 90% of Christians want her killed, so do it! thats what the polls say, not me!
But the question was some abstract thing about being kept on life support while the family goes bankrupt and there is no hope, worded so you would say pull the plug? OReilly said 90% of those saying pull the plug are saying they want Terri Schiavo put to death.
AFter she was killed, OReilly said well oops we didnt do that poll accurately, oh well, sorry Terri, better luck next time.
the liberal left was fully enjoying watching Terri Schiavo be put to death, saying she wants to die as a martyr, or she is brain dead anyway and cant feel any pain, or etc
the liberal left is opposed to the death penalty for murderers, but supports the murder of innocent people. therefore the liberal left supports and defends genocide

Bradley,
You’ve got dimented minds like TDro who could care less about murdering unborn children, and excusing it as an inconvenience to the mother, and a monetary burden upon the fathers wallet. He’s a genuine pig of the lowest form of the Godless tolerent liberal mentality. There are many of his kind here, so conservatives such as yourself are needed.

Bradley,
We are expected to embrace their twisted ideological idea of tolerance towards our self proclaimed enemies (Muslims in particular) as a jesture of respect and peace, hoping it may somehow change their murderous minds of the lifelong teachings of their Quran. This type of tolerance is nothing short of genuine stupidity. This same twisted mentality disregards intolerance for the murder of the unborn by excusing it as an inconvenience and financial burden of the parents. This same type of “tolerence” is hyped in defense of illegal immigration, and the security of our borders. The stench of these misinformed, spineless, and ignorant individuals (including our enemies) permeate this entire blog with their own “conspiracy theories”. They’re hopeing all who reads this trash will (without any basis of fact) mistakenly assume it as such.

Are4 you all the same guy or what? you guys get on my nerves.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Sky,
Shoot, and there’s only four of us!
July 24th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Bradley,
Terry Schiavo posed a threat to no one. Sickening isn’t it?
July 24th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
ha ha, lol sky.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
ever notice how they’re always on at the same time?
(hi, cheryl)
July 24th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
sky, i notice you’re just as stupid as that other bitch cheryl.. are you black too?
July 24th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
That’s me stooping to your level…. which is the reaction you wanted.
July 24th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
wow.
fuck you and just, wow.
and fuck you on cheryl’s behalf, too.
showing your true colors, i guess.
July 24th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Sky: Why are you such a hater? There is no excuse to hate. You should be setting an example for people.
How could you say you’re against hate, yet be immersed in it yourself.
You’re not doing your superior morality any good if you discard it at times you need it the most.
And finally… thank you proving that you can dish it out but you can’t take it.
You’ve done nothing but make false assumptions about me and make false assertions about me.
You are a weak-minded fraud.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
quick, post a lot so your sick, rascist post will be lost in the shuffle.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
eta: racist
July 24th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
No, this is me. Im not anyone else. and 7pm versus 1am ?
Its fair you make the claim, 4 people posting as 1 or vice versa and the reasons are 1. posting near the same time of day means its one person; 2. having a similar non liberal point of view.
posting near the same time of day? Lets see a graphical distribution of the TOD when all posts are recorded. There would be patterns of times of more posts and less posts such as coincide with a typical 8-5 work schedule. Since millions of people have a similar schedule and live in the same time zone, do you see where we’re going with this?
dont hate me because Im beautiful

good lookin’ out sky. vince usually directs his racism to muslims, but a few days ago he said i went on an “angry black tirade” so he showed everyone that his racism knows no bounds. reading his comments are a waste of time. very few people here do anymore.
i was thinking about you today bc i bought fresh brocolli and can’t decide how to cook it for my son. he stays away from green vegetables. i was thinking about throwing it on the stove for about a minute and then drowning it in cheddar cheese.
did i tell you what i did with the squash and zucchini? i baked some pork in a sauce i made with crushed tomatoes, dry white whine, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper. i put the sliced veggies in for the last 5 minutes to keep them crisp. it was bangin’.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
*high five*
wow, that sounds delicious!
we call broccoli “trees” and little man dips them in ketchup. I usually steam it until it turns really deep green, but not ’till it gets yellowy.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
OMG… you let your son put his broccoli in ketchup? that sounds so gross.
oh well. it’s worth a shot. LOL
