Partisan Politicization of Bin Laden Death Thread

[mattvan1]

Guess muslims in this country vote as well.

Sure. In the last election Obama voted, didn't he?

Wait, that came out wrong.

[FUDU]

Brian it would be hard for me to show the region of the planet any respect as well, which is why it is a good thing I'm not in charge. As far as the difference it may or may not make, I'm with you 100%, it isn't going to make any difference, which ties in with my point about Bin Laden's true relevance in the here and now of 2011.

We had to go all the way with this, as you said (in the wrong thread) even just for the sake of pride, but remember you cannot kill a symbol.

[skatingtripods]

Bullshit. Your opinions are respected here because they deserve respect, same as JB's are respected here. Always and without apprehension.

That's why the partisan stuff strikes me as trite in many threads. It's also why I created this one so that the partisan crap can be discussed without tainting the other thread that will absolutely posi-fucking-tively devolve into a cess pool of smart people crawling under the bar that's already been set in pretty much every other thread that gets political.

Come correct on that. The military created one martyr yesterday. I can't deal with two more here.

Politik all you want here. I just prefer a separation of dirt and state when it comes to the shooting deaths of religious militaristic zealots.

Doesn't matter what I say. There's a hierarchy of political and social intelligence on the boards who are more capable of expressing their opinion in a manner that doesn't come off as being a "rant" or "melt" or whatever my post is called. Not to mention, everybody wants to be an expert on an online message board. I don't claim to know more than I actually do.

Hence why I stay out of most of the political chats.

In no way was my post ever meant to be a discussion or a partisan argument. I thought the speech was shitty. I posted an observation. I never expected to have backup for my post. Why would I? Nobody took the speech for what it was.

Political discussions are never more than a giant dick-waving contest. People to the right and people to the left aren't going to change based on what someone else tells them and people in the center will waiver back and forth based on the flavor of the month.

Could sit here and cite dissertations and publications from well-respected, significantly smarter people and someone's going to pop their Viagra, drop their pants and start slinging it around.

Respected opinion? Maybe. Losing battle every time? Definitely.

[FUDU]

Trust me nobody here is "winning", your observation was just fine, and defines why it is called "your" observation.

Well you pretty much summed up why I never come in here. Because I'm not a political dude and my entire belief system is that nothing I say or do politically makes a bit of fucking difference anyway.

Why? Because otherwise reasonable, intelligent and good people just try and yell more loudly than the guy they're talking with.

I've said that a dozen times.

And when I do come in here because of a seminal moment in history the last thing I want to see in the thread is the devolution of what I came into see proceed right down the left/right suck hole. Within the first 20 posts.

That's why this country is in the political and social morass it is IN MY OPINION. Because smart people aren't talking about anything because they're screaming loudly about ideals and scrambling to get onto their side of the aisle.

I hate both sides with a passion when issues are replaced by rhetoric.

If I didn't know better and if I wasn't perfectly aware (or should have been) that it would surely come back to bite me in the ass I'd say I was the centrist

And this is my containment attempt.

[peeker643]

Trust me nobody here is "winning", your observation was just fine, and defines why it is called "your" observation.

It was the other thread that was devolving into the 895th Obama/Bush/Left/Right argument. Which is why I half-jokingly started this one hoping the thread title might be enough to talk about the mission and the killing for 9 minutes before we rolled into the political gains and losses portion of the event.

[FUDU]

And this is my containment attempt.

So much for TCF's shrimping industry.

[peeker643]

And this is my containment attempt.

Fuck it.

I'm not gonna bitch about the merry band of morons still whining about Eric Wedge in every Indians thread and not say something when people I actually respect go right to their neutral corners every fucking time something happens.

Not my sand box. You guys piss where ya want.

And I know you were fucking around Donny. No worries.

But I spend enough time here in a variety of different ways. No need to try and clean every fucking toilet in the building if people don't mind standing in shit as soon as they walk in.

[leadpipe]

The party seperation is a joke.

Period.

It's why we really don't count anymore.

And what it's done to people, who are quite rational in just about every other walk of life.

A perfect example is the insinuation that Obama gave himself too much credit during the speech. People that are smart enough to know the deal - that the President at the time Obama, Bush...whomever, is going to come out like a puppet (which is exactly what the position has become) and spew whatever he was coached up to say for the previous hours. C'mon, you're actually gonna criticize the guy, as if ANYONE who was in his position at the time was going to say anything different.

Just like those who bought into the "change" he promised at election time. As if the U.S. President could change this holy mess that was built in good part because of the fracturing done by party seperation.

Obama coulda went in there himself, pulled Bin Laden out while taking a couple bullets and half the country would have some sort of problem with it. This is what the country has become.

The Parties have to go. They do nothing but impede progress. The reason they were created has little use now - especially in comparison to the disaster they've become.

I have leaning toward the right, but I've got no use for church. My feelings on abortion and the death penalty are mutually exclusive. Why? Cause I'm not a liar or a hypocrite, I'm not on the take, and I'm not that weak.

The guy was at the helm when something great happened. Salute.

Don't Tread on Me.

[Orenthal]

Initially no Pakistani forces were notified.

Why would they be? Most of them are probably on the take anyway. I wouldn't trust any of them. I wouldn't have told anybody. The government. The security forces. Nobody.

Not the point.

The story is fluid. It's changing from minute to minute because there weren't enough details in the beginning and now because of political spinning.

I don't give a fuck if the Pakistanis know or not and I agree they likely didn't because of what you mentioned.


But an hour after initial reports said it was US alone came 'word' that the Pakistanis were notified, cooperated and partook.

That was the point.

So true. Even him being dead is gonna be debated by the Deathers. It is what is is, or is it, esse est percipi, as the good Bishop said...

[Orenthal]

Agree with Lead. The parties only differ on the extreme edges of policy.

Also whats wrong with dick waving, winning, and yelling louder then the other guy????

Guys are almost as smug as JB. Who is still gone because the convo didn't get any more lucid. Really thought FMB would help.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Fuck you, Peeks, for creating a new thread. Now I have to follow two goddamn threads on the same subject.

[peeker643]

Fuck you, Peeks, for creating a new thread. Now I have to follow two goddamn threads on the same subject.

I can close this one down. It'd be easy enough to summarize it thusly by encapsulating a member of each party's point of view.

Here goes. My ________ Party Indoctrination mantra:

I'm smarter than you because of party affiliation alone, have a better sense of world order and politics than you do, was brought up the right way and with the right sense of morals and values. My political leanings are the correct leanings and if you don't agree with me I'll say it all over again and cite articles or web sites authored by like-minded people that support my beliefs while ridiculing yours and bringing up weaknesses in your arguments that are extreme so that we might speed down the road to polarization at 180mph.

New Thread/Ibid
New Thread/Ibid
New Thread/Ibid
New Thread/Ibid

So very little truth or original thought in so much of it.

That's politics in a nutshell in my mind.

Hey, it's cool. Just like to learn something occasionally before we get to Polaris Pkwy.

Been working on my similes and metaphors. Hope that's apparent.

Jesus- Know what I wanted to know in the first 12 hours of the Bin Laden thread? Whether it was a double-tap to the head or a single shot from an M-5. Did they shoot through a human shield? Why'd they have to soft land the chopper instead of rappelling into a closed area like that.

Was this supported like you saw in Blackhawk Down or were these guys on an island?

Shit like that. But hey, we can bust right into how it affects the 2012 election. That's what they do on TV.

The SEALs took fire on their way to the compound’s third floor, where bin Laden had been sleeping, officials said. The encounter with bin Laden lasted only seconds, and ended with a kill shot to his face.

They went in with 30-40 men and 2 spare choppers....and based on my own experiences with helicopters the landing was anything but 'soft'

Those guys are elite but I have to imagine that there's some adrenaline in that mission and that there's more when you've pulled down on the face of that fucking guy.

But I have to imagine there's supreme contentment and pride with the body at your feet on that ride back.

Tremendous.

And as for photos of Bin Laden in a white shroud before he was tossed over the side of the ship like last night's piss pot?? Well, I'm sure someone dressed in a shroud was tossed over the side of the fucking ship. Still a little less than willing to believe it was him. I'll get over that though.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Hell I was just breakin' balls, Peek. I even did 2 birthday cakes and a banana.

Obviously. It's better to stay above the fray. Away from the partisan types, we dick up everything.

From that bat-shit-crazy leftist piece of trash, Forbes magazine.

This piece isn't just about Rush and his steaming pile of feces he puts out daily that about 4 or 5 of you clowns suck up like mother's milk off the teets of crazy. It is also about you. Some of you are so far gone and out there in internets land you have just completely lost it to the point you can't see it.

You can give me your bullshit mealey mouthed victimization that I cast a label on you "if you don't agree with me", but in some cases the gray just fades away and your bullshit is exposed for what it is. Hate without an perspective.

That's it. If there is some shit on this forum that isn't a farce, I'm back in. Otherwise, fuck it.

See yah in the funny papers wing nuts. Till then, I'm joining Lee's private forum. ;-)

[peeker643]

Perhaps I can ask Rich to create you your own private forum so you don't have to run off with the excuse you're above the fray only to swing by every day like that crazy dude who kept bombing the 4077th in his bi-plane?

All from the guy who cloaks what he is in the term 'centrist' so as not to be questioned and not to be challenged?

Got it.

Really struggling trying to figure out where I came up with my partisan mantra in quotes above.

And FWiW- I think Rush is a hate mongering tool box. Work a little harder if you're going to try and take the easy way out regarding my views and leanings. I don't think you will. Cuz I don't think hard work is what you're looking for in this thread. I think you're not a bit better or worse than 98% of the people who find it easier to wield the broad brush and drop it when they get bored or challenged.

I'm smarter than you because of party affiliation alone, have a better sense of world order and politics than you do, was brought up the right way and with the right sense of morals and values.

Is it possible that there is such a thing as a wing-bat Centrist. Holy shit JB, I am not sure what has happened to you. You come off as the angriest damn "centrist" who just happens to back every single move of Obama and find anyone who disagrees with him on any issue a racist, angry, birther. It feels like you are in full melt down mode.

Dude, I wish you would address by name these 4 or 5 people who you know to listen and pray to Limbaugh's feet. bw is gone, you are just sounding more and more out there when you continually attack this strawman that you perceive people to be.

You can give me your bullshit mealey mouthed victimization that I cast a label on you "if you don't agree with me", but in some cases the gray just fades away and your bullshit is exposed for what it is. Hate without an perspective.

Do you read what you write? Where is your grey? It has faded away. Everything is now Obama is right or attacker is an angry racist. The only hate without perspective I see being displayed on this board is you and your strawman.

I believe everyone here seems to have nuanced positions on multiple issues. Not everyone who generally disagrees with Obama goes out of their way to praise him over every move he makes that they actually disagree with, nor is it their responsibility to do so just to prove they arent a "whack job". If you want to specify certain politicians who you feel are nuts, please identify them.

Look at all these whacko right wingers giving Obama a standing O. Serious hating and racism all around the room, I can feel it.

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/video/ ... 3115984271

Dude, you are on a path to make Ed Schultz and Keith Olbermann to start asking why you are so angry all the time.

Don't go run and hide. You are better than that, to pretend as all of these discussions are below you is ridiculous. You threw out the accusations and fireballs, stand in there to defend it.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

For someone who doesn't like broad brushes you sure do use one pretty well.... your whole diatribe on partisan politics and all.

[peeker643]

You have to admit this, written by JB in his daily manifestette before he leaves and covers his ears while screaming "I'M A CENTRIST" to any potential responses, is dead-nuts true and I couldn't agree with him more:

...but in some cases the gray just fades away and your bullshit is exposed for what it is. Hate without an perspective.

I think he nailed that part. 100% accurate. It sure does sir.

My broad brush mostly paints JB an extreme centrist (can we make that his new title?)

Oh I am not angry either, I am more in amazement at JB's jump off the deep end, but certainly not angry.

Had a home inspection last night, everything came back pretty solidly, therefore I am actually quite happy this morning because shortly I will be out of this damn apartment.

For someone who doesn't like broad brushes you sure do use one pretty well.... your whole diatribe on partisan politics and all.

Wrong dickwad.

I often and necessarily paint with a broad brush.

I get annoyed at those who do it but don't acknowledge it and then get all papal about calling others out on it.

I most definitely do it. I have to and it serves me well in avoiding shit-fests like this forum for the most part.

Oh...shit...



Almost forgot to note my levity regarding the situation.

[Orenthal]

A broader brush gets better production rates out of your workforce. Any true pro will use a 3 inch flat for nearly all their painting, outside of trim work.

Gonna go listen to Limbaugh right now, I'll post everything I disagree with. Yesterday I thought he made too much a deal of the I, me, and we stuff. As if the guy isn't CIC, and doesnt have the final call.

ETA
Bringing up past Democrats that refered to Seal Team 6 as Cheney's Assassination squad. News reports, sources Democrat Party officials, how enhanced interrogation was a failure, lead to false information, and was torture.

Just said Obama seemed to be the only leading Democrat that was bright enough to continue the policy towards Gitmo/WOT/Afghanistan/Interrogation. Also continuing/making top priority gettng Bin Laden.

Tell him I said Hi.


Seriously JB, you in the middle of a divorce already? if not what crawled up your ass?

Where is the unconditional hate being displayed, and by whom? You seem to go pretty far out of your own way to swallow for the guy, Obama, in spots where it is not close to being justified and @EOD it isn't anything more or less than a Tripods observation.

Bottom line with this HfOBL story is it reads no different than a Browns game from late 2002.

Obama : Holcomb :: GWB : Couch.

Games were won, we were happy, but there were still huge holes in the foundation of team. We got the SOB Bin Laden, we won that game, Obama was under center so it is on his resume as well. But we aren't out of the woods by any means when it comes to the complete slate of issues. Remember things in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear, and the apex of the turn is not behind us.

Please please tell me you are not using the death of OBL as the resurrection of Obama and a call for another carving on Mount Rushmore.

It's a celebratory moment that might buy us some short term non-partisan points in DC, but it isn't creating a single job and it certainly isn't providing health care or lower gas prices.

Interesting read but Ungar makes a pretty silly goof right from the start, 100% of the state worker's salaries comes from tax payers. Whether they choose to defer it is moot when looking at where the money comes from in the first place.

To the credit of many of those state workers, they defer it, which is smart IMO.

Meh.

I'm happy the pig is dead but, at the same time its nothing to party about in the streets and the fools wrapped in the flag who have contributed nothing make me want to vomit

Nor is it a feather in anyone's hat, except for the 'non existant' SEAL Team 6, not even Obama's

What matters just as much if not more is the intel gathered and how its used

Another rat hole has been cleaned out and the rats are on the run again...let's go hunting

Yes. Exactly. I don't understand why it calls for fucking St Paddy's Day celebrations at all. I don't feel vindicated, I don't feel relief, I don't feel safer or in more danger. I don't feel anything other than respect for the guys that went in and did what the POTUS asked them to do. And yeah, I'm glad Obama did the right thing and had the conviction to not let it go. It did take balls. I'll give him that even if others won't.

But I'm not celebrating the 'right thing' part. Maybe the 22 yr old drunks hanging in trees were deeply scarred at 12 yrs old by visions of buildings falling and bearded monsters waiting to attack. If so, bully for them I guess.

No doubt. They're five years away from being fucking Yemen over there.

We give more than a billion dollars a year to Pakistan, might be time to reconsider that. Dude was living in the 'burbs and ISI had no effin clue?

No doubt. They're five years away from being fucking Yemen over there.

And they have nukes.

Sobering thought. I hope the hut they're housed in is reinforced with goat carcasses and raw sewage.

The good news is that after 'Geronimo' they said K-I-A. There's a Korean car company already building its next ad campaign upon it.

The 2013 Kia Bin Laden is in production.

These inappropriate uses of Native American icons and cultures are prevalent throughout our society, and the impacts to Native and non-Native children are devastating," Tuell said.

Whatchu talkin' bout?

They actually said Geronimo EKIA.

I think someone was confused and thought Bin Laden decorated his estate from IKEA. Those Scandanavians will develop an OBL stone slab bed in time for back to school.

Here’s Nancy Pelosi from a press conference on September 7, 2006:

[E]ven if [Osama bin Laden] is caught tomorrow, it is five years too late. He has done more damage the longer he has been out there. But, in fact, the damage that he has done . . . is done. And even to capture him now I don’t think makes us any safer.

And here’s Nancy Pelosi yesterday:

The death of Osama bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida. . . . I salute President Obama, his national security team, Director Panetta, our men and women in the intelligence community and military, and other nations who supported this effort for their leadership in achieving this major accomplishment. . . . [T]he death of Osama bin Laden is historic. . . .

No photo. Don't really care either way. Probably easiest not publish it though.

ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT I agree with a decision Obama made, clearly it proves that my instinct is correct because it follows Obama's line of thinking. We all know that challenging his opinion on anything is just pure racist hatred.
