So let me get this straight. When F9/11 showed people in a cafe...

in Iraq and kids playing, it was propaganda...and now that The Election has occured, even though 44 voters were killed in various attacks, it is Bushtopian Shangri-La...it must be, people are 'dancing in the streets'! Just trying to follow along here.

1. Yep, you got it.

Now go finish off that pitcher of Kool Aid. You obviously haven't had enough yet.

6. Here, let's all take another glass

2. that's funny

3. Right, because you're supposed to believe that under Saddam Hussein

coffee was banned and children were forbidden to play.

[CatholicEdHead]

Actually the response

I got to this on a right leaning board is that it doesn't matter how many died today, it is still far less than under Saddam.

4. They report, you decide

I've decided they are all full of a rancid brownish substance that stinks of methane and sulphur.

5. Of course, if it doesn't come from Rove, Hannity, O'Reilly

or Limbaugh then it is obviously left wing propaganda.

Only Republicans tell the truth.

I know you were out that day this was covered in your government class.

7. Amazing Isn't It!!!

I love your Bushtopian Shangri-La description of this humanitarian endeavor.

8. Excellent point

of course Moore got that footage without killing 1,400 Americans, 100,000+ Iraqis, and spending $260,000,000,000.

9. If You're Wondering, You Still Haven't Figured It Out

Cons tell the truth; Lefties have Propaganda.
Now, go write that on the board a hundred times, and stop bothering the grown-ups with questions.

10. Thanks Rose and welcome to DU!

Must...not....question....Our.....Leader.....

13. I think I like you already, mojaverose!

Welcome to DU! :toast:

11. extrap-elation!

44 people killed in an election that had, let's say 8 million. That would be like if, with our roughly 120 million voters in the US, 660 people were killed on Nov 2 because they were trying to vote.

If it had happened that way in America, the media wouldn't have dwelled on the 660 people who were blown up/shot. The news would still have declared our elections a "resounding success" and shown pictures of people celebrating, right?

edit: actually, um, our media probably would have declared it a success and glossed over the problems here, now that I think about it. Never mind.

[blondeatlast]

12. Of course, silly. Now that the "elections" have "occurred,"

the Iraqis (even the ones who refused to or couldn't vote) bask in the shining glory of "democracy" and "truly representative government (actually, they don't seem to have gone quite this far yet...)" and can proceed paving our (overworked, underfed, scared, poorly trained) "brave soldiers" with "rose petals" and "hugs."

All is right with the world. Now drink your Kool-Aid and get some rest. You need to get to work early to "help your grandchiildren not-yet-born to celebrate the fruits of their labor (pay off the deficit)."
