If President Romney Had Bombed a Hospital

[Weatherman2020]

The anti war left are not anti war.....

If Romney had been elected in 2012 and in the year before his reelection campaign had bombed a hospital, decided to keep troops in Afghanistan, and had details of his robot assassin program leaked, things would probably look a little different today.

If Romney were president right now, the White House would be surrounded by protesters and candlelight peace vigils night and day. Some would wave American flags, some would wave signs calling for impeachment, some would have pictures caricaturing the president as Hitler or an animal. They would chant “Not in our name!”, or “Bring them home!”, or “Hey ho, hey ho, Romney has got to go!”

If Romney were president, nightly news reports on CBS, NBC, and ABC would have regular features on war crimes, quagmires, and collateral damage. CNN would be wall-to-wall with team coverage of protests, interviews of bombing witnesses, and Anderson Cooper walking through rubble in full body armor.

If Romney were president, every political analyst left of Judge Napolitano would be fretting over the war-weary public turning the upcoming election into a referendum against the president and his party. Vox and FiveThirtyEight would have maps showing how many Senate seats Republicans would lose because of the president’s sure-to-plummet approval rating. And then there’s MSNBC.

If Romney were president, MSNBC would be holding mock war crimes tribunals on Chris Hayes, explaining the ins and outs of the process with expert guests. Lena Dunham would be on Maddow every night aghast (but still giggling!) at this warmonger-in-chief. Chris Matthews would be yelling at Michael Moore, trying to find out when charges would be filed at the Hague.

If Romney were president, Democrats in Congress would be calling for hearings and investigations for each transgression: the bombing, troop levels, and drone policy. Chuck Schumer would hold daily press briefings scolding the wreckless president from behind the glasses perched precariously down his nose. Someone would accurately quote Sheila Jackson-Lee condeming the terrible bombing of the “orphanage in Pakistan”.

But Mitt Romney isn’t president, Barack Obama is, so no one cares.

Speculation fallacy. Whole OP full of 'em. Dismissed.


Actually Romney probably would have bombed Jeep factories that "moved to China".

No speculation at all, there is a long and clear pattern by the leftist media to hold Republicans to a standard that no explanation is good enough and Democrats to a standard that no explanation is required

The anti-war left is non-existent because they are a phony, ginned up movement. There is no anti-war left, there never was. There is only the power hungry, authoritarian left. They don't care how many hospital and schools are bombed, so long as they are the ones doing the bombing. They want power and control and they do not care who dies.

Bombing a hospital in Afghanistan is only a war crime if a Republican is the CIC. Using a drone to murder is only a crime if a Republican occupies 1600 Penn.

Meanwhile it's OK to intervene in Libya, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Somalia, Ukraine.....etc..

Don't worry, when the next Republican is elected POTUS, the anti-war, anti-surveillance, anti-interventionist "left" will suddenly re-appear!!

You just posted "no speculation at all" followed immediately by "there is a long and clear pattern".
I mean immediately. Naught but a comma intervening.

Do you ever actually read your own posts? You should. They're a hoot.

Now see if you can find a recurring verb in there. I made it bold.
Now tell me what tense that is.

"Future patternistic"?

I think my favourite is the "charges would be filed at The Hague". A future conditional based on another future conditional. Speculation fallacy-on-speculation fallacy hot action. Fallacies gone wild.

Order yours today.


Pop quiz --- what's this thing?

"If President Romney Had Bombed a Hospital"

The thread also fails as a classic straw man fallacy – conservatives contrive the lie that 'the media' would be 'harder' on a republican president and then attack the 'position' they've contrived.

The thread premise is as ridiculous as it is pathetic.

There are TWO ways of interpreting the above moronic post (that is, beside the usual "I hate Obama regardless" stupidity by right wingers):

a. Does the O/P really think that Obama was sitting around the oval office one day and said to his staff....."Why don't we bomb a hospital today, just for fun"?

b. Of course, the O/P may actually be TRASHING our military, which is something that right wing idiots (like the O/P) used to accuse the left of doing whenever the wanted to "feel more American" tan someone else.....

Either way, the O/P should be labeled by BOTH sides of the aisle as a desperate moron...who is not even very good at his bitching.

He would have "moved them to China" right? Along with Jeep?


"Would of" huh?

 

[nat4900]

First of all, correct grammar would demand your use of "would have" and not "would of".....but that aside, what would Romney have done, offer ISIS members jobs at Staples?
