Well hey, at least he isn't torturing people like Bush did. [View all]
Nope, instead he is assassinating them instead, men, women, young, old, American citizens or otherwise.
"It was not a theoretical question: Mr. Obama has placed himself at the helm of a top secret “nominations†process to designate terrorists for kill or capture, of which the capture part has become largely theoretical. He had vowed to align the fight against Al Qaeda with American values; the chart, introducing people whose deaths he might soon be asked to order, underscored just what a moral and legal conundrum this could be."

Now really, would we have tolerated such an assassination list under Bush? No, we wouldn't, we would, justifiably be screaming to the high heavens. So why do we tolerate it from Obama? Because he is "our guy". If that is the case, I can't go there with you, I cannot condone a president who personally decides who lives or who dies, be they American or Yemen, or from somewhere else. There was a time when decent people would condemn such an outrage as UnAmerican, and they would be in the right. Americans don't torture, nor do they assassinate, shooting down people like dogs in the street. Yet this is exactly what this administration has done. What's next, an assassination list for Americans in this country?
Oh, and about that whole not torturing people, well, it looks like I might be wrong about that.
But hey, it's all good right, torture, assassination, as long as it's a Dem doing these things.
Looks like 0bama has his own little secret prison over there where who knows what abuse is going on. By DU standards, this makes Lord Zero's conversion to the Dark Side complete in a way that Palpatine could on fantasize about. So what does DU say in response to this news that should have them caterwauling for 0bama to be frogmarched to the Hague (and not for another award)?

11. both candidates are the same on this issue
So, if this is the issue that you care most about, you are shit outta luck.
One of Romney or Obama will be President on January 21, 2012.
You get to pick one. If you stay home or vote third party, you are effectively voting for your lest favorite of those two since you are taking a vote away from your preferred among them.
Your choice. One of those two will be president. Which one do you prefer?

And we all know your a Hillaryette.
And the rest is a bunch of lentil bean farts about "well, 0bama is better than Romney, so deal with it." I distinctly recall hundreds of solemn, purist threads on DU about human rights violations of the Bush Admin over Abu Ghraib, and even one instance of torture qualified him for hanging.
Oh, wait, I know the difference! 0bama's goons use pure water from streams in the Swiss Alps for their waterboarding, whereas Bush goons just used tap water! THAT'S what makes torture under 0bama OK!

It's not how you torture, it's what you mean when you torture. Same for killing as seen from lib eyes.

I would love to say that I'm surprised, but.... :whatever:
Nice find, BFDU.

"But the ropes we use to bind prisoner's in 0bama's secret prison are made IN AMERICA, by UNION employees."
"Didn't you guys know that the Nobel Peace Prize comes with detachable coupons for human rights abuses? 0bama's just cashing a couple of them in, that's all."
"You don't understand: these terrorists were plotting to blow up every golf course in a 100 mile radius of the White House!"
"0bama sat with his wartime tribunal of Sean Penn, Margaret Cho, Danny Glover, Janeane Garofalo, George Clooney, Oprah, Harry Belafonte, Cher, and Rosie O'Donnell. They APPROVED the secret prison as long as each of them got to sniff a pair of 0bama's used boxers for a minute apiece."

Boatloads of crazy in that thread, they will bend over backwards to defend Obama. Life Long Dem is going to get his ass banned if he keeps it up.

142. Of course we need to keep killing terrorist.
Bush created this mess, and Obama needs to protect us from the terrorist. However long this takes to settle things down. I believe there will be an end. But Bush sure as hell stirred up this mess.

Quote from Life Long Dem...
"We can tolerate this by killing all terrorist!"
Bill Ayres might be closer than you think. He likes to show up at occupoop events.

You people have lost any "moral high ground" you once claimed you had. You are pathetic.
-
Thank goodness he doesn't torture them.
He just sneaks in during the dead of night and strangles them with his bare hands. :whatever:

That's because Hillary has bigger balls than Obama.
Hillaryette? I'm surprised you didn't call her Hilliter or something Nazi-ish.
