Obama's Hair Trigger should frighten us all

[Mr. Shaman]

So glad that you enjoyed the list...

unfortunately you have place the group in the wrong category.
The correct one is 'Amanuensis.'

Here we have a group of Democrat-liberal stenographers, who are the dutiful martinets of the left....
this is probably why the group brings a smile to your face.

Now to see their kind in action, let's move on to the Journolist listserv...

1. Daily Caller reporter Jonathan Strong lays out a strategy plotted by Journolist members to kill the Jeremiah Wright story during the 2008 primaries — and to smear Barack Obama’s critics as racists:

2. …videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright….in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them.

3. Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged.

4. Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

5. Ackerman appealed to the other members of the Journolist group: “If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists. Ask: why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black politician who unites the country? What lurks behind those problems? This makes *them* sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.”
Hot Air Daily Caller discovers Journolist plot to spike Wright story, smear conservatives as racists


Now, doesn't that kind of coordinated effort to subvert the truth and divide the nation make you proud?

Tell me, how often do you find youself just staring into the mirror, saying "where did I go wrong?"

Sorry PC...looks like a sideshow to me

The list of so called liberal journalists includes some of the finest journalists our country has ever produced

Care to list some distinguished right wing journalists?

You missed the point, Wingy...

no matter how they string words together, how can you not peer through the miasma and see that they are promoting a totalitarian, utopian, fascist ideology.

It is beyond me how intelligent, educated folks such as yourself can continue to follow a direction that has, time and again, resulted in tyranny, murder, mayhem...
it can only be the result of decades of indocrination.

So sad...not just for you, but for all of us.

‘’’the title Liberal Fascism comes from a speech delivered by H. G. Wells, one of the most important and influential progressive and socialist intellectuals of the 20th century. He wanted to re-brand liberalism as “liberal fascism” and even “enlightened Nazism.” He believed these terms best described his own political views — views that deeply informed American progressivism and New Deal liberalism.
Basically, Wells believed parliamentary democracy is incapable of bringing about a proper political order. Only an authoritarian, technocratic elite can do so. But when the ideal order is realized, it will be in some ways liberal. “One prosperous and progressive world community of just, kindly, free-spirited, freely-thinking, and freely-speaking human beings”. Well, maybe. Accordingly, Wells fits Spencer Ackerman’s characterization: a liberal fascist is one who won’t take his own side in a putsch.

(emphsis mine)

Yeah....Wells WOULD have been a major-threat to the "conservative"-agenda!!!​

"His most consistent political ideal was the World State. He stated in his autobiography that from 1900 onward he considered a World State inevitable. He envisioned the state to be a planned society that would advance science, end nationalism, and allow people to progress by merit rather than birth."

As-far-as murder and mayhem go, our Judeo/Christian-values have ALWAYS been well-represented in such pursuits!!​

white trash essentially = ******, so why isn't anyone getting onto the toilet paper guy for using the disparaging term? Hmmmm?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Running away from journalists + overreacting when his vanity is threatened + CinC of most powerful military on the planet = recipe for disaster

Frank please stop. Obama is a lot of things, but insane isn't one of them. He isn't going to nuke anyone, ever, under ANY circumstances.

Right, not at first.

He won't start with a nuclear strike, but what will he do to defend his vanity?

This is not a man that takes the time, not just to think things through, but to give diplomacy, traditions, facts and common sense a chance to operate.

This is about Obama's circumvention of any and all chances to take the time to think things through before acting and he has shown time and again he has a hair trigger when it comes to defending his vanity. Not good. Not good at all.

Would you want to follow ANY leader like that in any organization?

 

[Samson]

Obama is a lot of things, but insane isn't one of them.

How would we know?

Frankly, I began to wonder if his cheese was slipping off his cracker after he began apologising for the USA's Superpower status and having wealthy citizens.

And, really, I wouldn't blame him: The American people have elevated an individual to "Super-Star" status who was clearly unprepared, and the pressure to succeed as the First Minority President must be ENORMOUS.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he did not run for a second term, but instead allowed Hillary to run.

Frank, if anyone was that nutty they'd never let near an elected office. Why would the Democrats want to nominate and hopefully elect a man that you describe? Someone as you describe who is that vain but will apparently do whatever it takes to 'defend his vanity' and acting too quickly without thinking would only ruin any opportunities the Democrats have for political power for years. It goes against their interests, which are generally first and foremost to get elected or re-elected, like any politician.

Again, allow me to point out the hilarity of you saying Obama doesn't give facts and common sense a chance to operate, when you made a thread about political dismissals would be a litmus test for how he would act in military and nuclear matters. You even admitted it yourself you're worried over some foreign leader insulting Obama and then having Obama overreact, probably via military means judging by the OP.

Obama's not the one not allowing common sense and facts to operate here, Frank.

If you paid closer attention to current events you'd see that the country did in fact elect a man entirely consumed with his vanity.

Further, Democrats are starting to try to distance themselves from him by not showing up when he appears in their district

Yes, I am very concerned that Obama has a hair trigger response when his vanity is threatened. Mexico could invade us and Obama could care less, but let anyone threaten Obama inflated sense of himself and well, who knows how he'll overreact again?

Blago ring any bells?

 

[Bob Roberts]

Let's be honest about what happened here, Obama had Shirely Sherrod dispatched before any of the facts came in. Along with the BP Extortion, this is is now the second time the Community Organizer has decided to circumvent tradition, facts and all common sense to have an outcome that appeals to his absurd sense of importance and sensibilities.

Any normal person in any other organization would at least have had the common sense and courtesy to hear Sherrod's side of the story before taking action.

But Obama was in such a mad frenzy to paint the Tea Party as racists, he pulled the trigger without taking aim.

THIS IS THE SAME GUY IN CHARGE OF THE US MILITARY AND OUR NUCLEAR ARSENAL!

Does Obama "Fire! Ready.... meh....aim" strategy concern anyone else?

I assume you are a Republican. If so, how do you justify Bush's brash decision to invade Iraq on false premises?

Topic: Here

You: Not Here.

See the problem?

Also, do you want me to copy the numerous statement Clinton and other world leaders made about the threat posed by Saddam?

Topic: Commander in Chief's Hair Trigger should frighten us all

You: Hypocrite

The problem is moral equivalency.....do you see the problem?

Also, did Clinton act on his rhetoric and invade Iraq on false premises?

P.S. Whether or not this is exactly on point with your topic is not as important as me calling you out on your hypocrisy. Please stand behind your convictions and provide us with your justification, as I asked and you simply dismissed.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

The entire Democratic Party should just pull over and resign immediately...Or just wait to be fired. I'll take either one at this point. Hey America,had enough of these ignorant Socialists/Progressives yet? Better make 2010 count people.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Wow.

Obama is throwing Vislack under the bus. Blaming Vilsack for having a hair trigger when it comes to race and Obama's vanity.

"He (Vilsack) jumped the gun, partly because we now live in this media culture where something goes up on YouTube or a blog and everybody scrambles," Obama told consumer correspondent Elisabeth Leamy in an exclusive &#8220;GMA&#8221; interview.

Wow

President Obama Said Sec. Tom Vilsack 'Jumped the Gun' on Shirley Sherrod?s Ouster - George Stephanopoulos' Bottom Line

Sure Vilsack has a lot invested in calling the Tea Party racists and no doubt Vilsack got the NAACP to jump the gun too.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Me yesterday: "Let's be honest about what happened here, Obama had Shirely Sherrod dispatched before any of the facts came in.

Obama answering me this morning: &#8220;I've told my team and I told my agencies that we have to make sure that we're focusing on doing the right thing instead of what looks to be politically necessary at that very moment. We have to take our time and, and think these issues through"

[Rinata]

I made the thread because it's frightening to have a Narcissist with control of our nuclear weapons. God forbid some foreign power threatens, not the USA, but Obama's vanity -- WATCH OUT!

President Obama is neither vain nor narcissistic. That's what you see because you hate him. And being dumber than a box of rocks doesn't help you see the truth either.

Did you hear the 15 minute rambling answer Obama gave when asked "How does it feel to be in the White House"?

Again, that's your opinion. And your opinion is always distorted by hate for him.

She sure did!!! The woman is brilliant and expresses herself perfectly. That's why the right wing hates her so much.

[Lonestar_logic]

. Along with the BP Extortion

It was hardly extortion. Making BP pay for the mess they created was spot on.

You can't make someone pay that has already said they would pay. Obama's an idiot as is his apologizers.
