Some on the 'left' are beating the War drums
It's fascinating how a good amount of Duers do more war drumming than call for Peace. Defend war more than they ever defend Obama. I'm not saying DEFEND OBAMA - I'm saying how interesting they can't even find anything bad to say about war, and yet can't help but fall over themselves to defend the murderous bigot bush, his Iraq invasions, and failure to stop 9/11.

1. This Is Probably The Most Nonesensical Post Of the Summer, Sir
The 'beating the war drums' line is the lamest usage currently employed on this forum.

22. Yes, it is and if we go to war you can bet the cheerleading will be as loud as it was on the right
(but what will THEY do then become anti-war? lol) for the Iraq War.
However, I get the impression that Obama has been trying NOT to get into any more conflicts and has angered the war mongers, see Dick Cheney on the Corporate Media this week, calling him the 'worst President in history' because he won't 'send in the troops' or didn't leave them in Iraq, forever.
We cannot know what pressures are on presidents to continue the war mongering, even back to the Kennedy era.
This crash has damaged his efforts to remain on the path of diplomacy as the war mongering started right away as if they were waiting for it. All the old warmongers are going to be pushing for NATO to get involved, the rhetoric is feverish right now, very reminiscent of 9/11. The evoking of all the old Cold War fears is obvious.
I would not want to be in his position right now. But he NEEDS US to be loudly supportive of his unwillingness to 'send in the troops'. THEY are going to be attacking and smearing him, see Cheney again, until he does.

35. Listen to this drum

I suspect the operators of the missile system ....
.. were sheep dipped members of the Russian army and are already back in Russia and in hiding waiting for this to cool down and then go work for the equivalent of the KGB.

38. That Is Not a Call For War, Sir
Is is somewhat purple-ish in its tone, but it is not unreasonable to suppose Russian personnel were involved in working the missile battery; they were certainly involved in training operators. To say something is a reasonable supposition is not to state it is a fact.
You fall far short of establishing that the person is calling for war between the United States and Russia.

3. Now that DU is an evidence-free zone...

I think we can safely say that the "Left" eats babies, worships Satan, and causes the heartbreak of psoriasis.
Bastards! Probably paid disruptors!

16. Not Really, Sir: There Is Some Accuracy In What Our Hibernian Friend States
There is in fact a number of people, who at least proclaim themselves to be leftists and progressive here, who have spent a great deal of time recently defending V. Putin and his actions in Ukraine, and alleging President Obama is a tool or stooge of neo-cons, is seeking to go to war over Ukraine, or to despoil and ravish it, and is in general rather a bad egg where Central Europe, among other locales, is concerned. Anyone who has spent much time on discussions here concerning events in Ukraine will be aware of this. It is not only foolish but futile to deny it.

39. What's really fascinating is that you (or anyone) would make these scurrilous and patently ridiculous accusations without a shred of evidence to back them up. And get recs for them (even if one of them is your own). That's what's really fascinating.
Are there persons here who "defend the murderous bigot bush, his Iraq invasions, and failure to stop 9/11"? A few trolls, maybe. But of course you couldn't even be bothered to link to any of their posts. So what is it, exactly, that you're so exercised about?
No big surprise. The Barry cheerleaders love a good war... as long as it is their guy leading.
A meme is not a meme, Sir, unless you use a meme.
Barry is the worst president in history because he does nothing while the world burns.
But, the magistrate is having none of it, Sir.
Word play is a Democratic specialty. It's not the word that counts, but the meaning- which can change depending on the poll numbers.
It's always someone else doing the bad things on DU. It's never the DUmpmonkiez or the Democrats- it is always the VRWC ****ing it up for the poor leftists.
Manny and the magistrate get into it for a while- but we have read it all before so I won't bring it over.
:yawn:
"Barry is the worst president in history because he does nothing while the world burns."
Excellent! Best "Nero fiddled while Rome burned" comparison I've heard yet!
uh
Even Nero would have stopped fiddling long before now and said WTF.
