Comment Rescue: Sir, Yes Sir!
Good thing there are better men and women who fought and died for your freedom, jason, else you would have none.
Captain Nutbag has spoken. I’m not sure how this relates to anything, but there you have it.

Thanks for making it clear how you play the game, Jason. First you make a comment indicating your support for the Iranian regime and opposing any effort to help the people of Iran as they struggle for freedom.
Then you delete the comment in response that makes the comparison between your position and that of the average Revolutionary War Tory or Civil War Copperhead.
But you do preserve one excerpt that praises those heroes of struggles for freedom past — only to ridicule it as well.
Next time you get the inclination to indicate that you are intellectually honest OR that you support freedom — don’t.
And while you folks are at it — since the official position here seems to be to support the Iranian regime, don’t you think it is hypocritical to keep your masthead green?
I have no idea what you are talking about nutbag.
FTR – I have not yet commented on Iran, but I will.
Staying out of it right now seems to be the best support we can give to the Iranian people.
That does not compute to a Macho-Men like you – but America has seen how the macho-man policies play out in the real world.
But keep talking tough. It does entertain.
My apologies — you didn’t delete the comment.
But since you went on the record supporting Obama’s soft-serv approach on Iran — no appearance by the president to comment on the situation, cutting off funds that help encourage democracy in Iran — it is disingenuous to argue that you haven’t taken a position.
I just did Sherlock.
Yeah — but to claim you hadn’t previously is disingenuous.
Wrong again.
Just what could any President do (openly) with regard to Iran? Are the other two candidates real reformers or just eager to get part of the action?
What if he gave rousing speeches of support for the losers and encouraged them to take action but did nothing when the tanks rolled over them?
Unless you are willing to use a big stick, speaking softly may be the best approach.
I can only imagine that you folks would make the following editorial changes to historical speeches of the past:
“Mr. Gorbachev, this wall ain’t any of my business.”
“All free people, wherever they may live, are not citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, this wall isn’t our business. I take pride in the words “Ich bin nein Berliner.”
RWR:
Bush goes with “Axis of Evil” and kept hinting darkly at invading Iran, and they responded by building more nukes and threatening to wipe Israel off the map.
Seven months after Obama takes over with his more low key approach, there is a democratic revolution underway in Iran. Whatever Obama is doing, it seems to be working – working fast, and working better.
I really think you guys just want war of any kind. What are you, some kind of millenialist? or do you just get off on war?
I think RWR would actually be pissed if Obama achieves regime change in Iran without a bloody bombing campaign.
I remember when repubs claimed partisanship stopped at the water’s edge.
1) Not a millenialist. I’m actually a preterist — or at least a partial preterist.
2) Having grown up in a household in which my father did 4 tours in Vietnam before I was 10, you can rest assured that I hate war more than you do — but also recognize that it is sometimes a necessity.
3) The Iranian regime hated us long before Bush 43 — just consider Carter 39.
4) If Obama can actually achieve regime change without personally saying a single word, more power to him. More likely will be the Iranian people achieving regime change and Obama trying to take credit for it.
5) There has been three decades of work towards regime change in Iran — and Obama just cut off funds for programs promoting democracy there while at the same time making conciliatory gestures towards the regime (and adopting a position akin to Iran’s on Israel). Seems to me that any positive change will be in spite of Obama, not because of him.
When the going gets tough, Obama gets soft-serv.
RwR needs to feel that America has the biggest dick.
Yes. It is that simple.
I remember when Democrats supported oppressed in other countries people who yearned for freedom.
Besides, you folks declared the entire notion of “partisanship ending at the water’s edge” a dead letter over the last eight years. Heck, I’d argue it died when Teddy Kennedy offered to work with the KGB to get Reagan defeated in 1984.
And Jason need America to have the limpest — projecting his own personal inadequacies on the rest of the country.
Great Quotes From History:
“It’s 3 a.m. The phone just rang. Michelle — do you know where the nearest 24-hour Dairy Queen is?”
Dude, if you are trying to prove that you are coo coo for cocoa puffs you can stop now.
Sorry if citing letters from old Soviet archives offends you.
Too bad that Teddy isn’t half the patriot that his older brothers were — and that Communist Oswald and Arab terrorist Sirhan killed the patriots. After all, America would be a much better place if either of the other two had lived — or if Teddy couldn’t swim.
::rolls eyes::
I’m hardly offended. To be offended I’d have to care about the bullshit you keep laying down here.
Trust me. I don’t.
Yeah, you don’t care that Teddy Kennedy conspired with our nation’s enemies to manipulate our nation’s political system to the benefit of those enemies — and that your party declares him to be a senior statesman.
Or that your party still harbors a leader who was a leader of your party’s paramilitary terrorist wing (senator Robert Byrd (DemoKKKrat – West Virginia).
You don’t care that another of your party leaders (John Kerry) confessed to personally committing war crimes in his testimony before Congress back in the 1970s.
Your party shelters a guy who let a prostitution service operate out of his house. Your party honored and protected another who ACTUALLY HAD SEX with a teenage page.
No, all that matters to you guys is the D.
Great Quotes From History:
“Hillary — could you pick up a couple of Peanut Buster Parfaits on your way over from Foggy Bottom? Kim Jong-il just launched a couple of nukes at Hawaii.”
Coo coo for cocoa puffs.
Sorry the facts get in the way of your ideology, jason.
Great Quotes From History:
“Comrade Fidel, I can’t accept those Cuban cigars — Michelle doesn’t let me smoke anymore. Could you bring some Cuban frozen custard instead?”
RWR=SCHMUCK (the Yiddish version, not the German)!
Yep, we’re going to believe anything published on a website that links to shit spewed by Limbaugh and Coulter.
Don’t you have a prisoner to torture somewhere, RWR?
Hey! Did he mug Grace Jones for that outfit? Da bastid!!!
I think Reagan liked the Iranian regime. He sold missiles to them. Isn’t it funny that the people who wanted to bomb Iran are now defenders of Iranian democracy?
I think there has to be a disturbance in the force for Art Downs to be defending Obama against RwR.
There is a lot of speculation that Bush Jr. was pwned by Iranian agents into going to war with Iraq to overthrow Saddam, who was Iran’s worst enemy.
repubs=no credibility
The war lovers are pissy about losing Dinner Jacket as a boogey-man.
If the GOP doesn’t have one, then they don’t have a position.
And super-funtime triple Ks on the Byrd slam, RWR! Too Clever, sniz.
So what if Byrd was a Klan member/sympathizer 50 years ago…it’s not like he hasn’t acknowledged his past errors…but let’s not pay any mind to the harboring of
domestic terroristsByrd’s like-minded peers during the great purge of the Dixiecrats into the GOP…..led by Thurmond, Stennis, and Long.Besides projection, claiming the exception as the rule and ignoring the rule as an exception, you conservative losers don’t have nothing much…per usual.
