Freepers panties in a bunch over 6 feet Under!
Hahahahahahahaha. Here is some thought provoking material from a freeper. Of course it is all about Clinton. :eyes:

To: fight_truth_decay
All these liberals bashing Iraq didn't have a problem when Clinton was bombing Yugoslavia, they loved that war.

4. This is how you measure the success of war?
What about the civilians in Yugoslavia?
(Oh, and by the way, how about Hiroshima?)

10. No, that;s not only how I measure success, but
it is one measure the COST of the war. then you take the benefit and line the two up side by side

28. Is your sig from "They Can't Do That on Television"?
I used to love and hate that show! You know the part when the nasty cook says "what do you think is in the burger".

27. You are one step away from saying
"Saddam gassed his own people" and "the world is better off without him"

32. But Saddam wasn't actively gassing people.
In Kosovo there was a major offensive underway to slaughter civilians.

Terrible comparison.

2. I hate to admit it, but there is a point there
It's not that simple, but you can't deny that the same actions by * (instead of Clinton) would be perceived differently by us :)

9. no, there isn't a point
They were both Wars.. but one was a very limited war, the other is bankrupting USA and breaking our militaries morale for what I see as not worth the HUGE cost.

18. no, one was a limited military action
to stop an out of control situation in former Yugoslavia, the other was an unprovoked, total invasion and military occupation of a country that posed no immediate threat

25. I'd say the converse is true...
some actions by Clinton were objected too less by us than they would have been had George Jr. done them.

But Clinton never launched an illegal, against the UN invasion and occupation of a soverign nation, slaughtering 100,000 civilians and 2,000 US troops in the process.

I know I wasn't happy with any bombing and thought the Waco disaster was rediculous.

I marched against that war. I guess you were too busy looking at x-rated ascii art in your mom's basement to notice.

6. This liberal did have a problem with it.
And I have never loved any war.

So the Freeps are wrong. Again.

7. What an idjit!
If it's so distasteful to this person, why have they watched every episode? If it's so tiresome, why go there? :shrug:


"It's...just...a...television...show...
One that is thankfully coming to an end this year. I've watched every episode and enjoyed it as I would enjoy watching a freight train wreck.

This HBO show has not let one episode this season slip by without a slap at the Right. The producers or writers have made it their mission. It's transparent and it's getting tiresome."

12. I went there to read a few threads
This response is priceless: "This is the first episode I ever watched and this caught me off guard. Can't say I understand the show, put I may tune in to watch the creative deaths at the bginning of each show, then change the channel."

Doesn't understand the show? It's about a family. Perhaps it is the emphasis on the family (and its values) that confused the idiot that wrote this response on freeperville.

FWIW, Six Feet Under is one of the reasons I have HBO.

20. I try to watch it every week as well and am sad
it's the last season. But then again, I watch it for The Sopranos and Bill Maher. Maybe the freepers need to edumicate themselves and watch Bill.
And yes, those that espouse ad nauseum about family and values don't seem to know much about them!

35. I've been hooked since Day One
I usually watch each episode several times during the week because there's so much there. It is an incredible show.

I just realized a few minutes ago that I've only seen this week's episode once. I think I've been in shock over Nate's death. Wow.

The rest of the series will be what's been in the background the whole time & in every episode: an epilogue of a person's life. More specifically Nate's life - how do people in Nate's sphere handle his death and go on. Now that's poetry.

14. I had a problem with just about all the "wars" that I have seen
I don't give a shit who sends people to try to kill other people, I don't dig it even when Clinton did it.
Freepers have their heads so far up their asses that they blindly follow and can't form an opinion on their own.

15. Wow, this was one freepers response about the show:
"Never watched more than a few minutes of the show. Too many homos for me."
:grr: God, these people piss me off...

22. As I understand it, there were a bunch of Left protests about
that too . . .

Except that the Righties were the ones arguing against taking action to stop the slaughters that were happening AT THAT MOMENT! - Not 15 years before.

The Iraq war is kinda like going in and bombing the hell out of Berlin - in 1960 - due to the Holocaust . . .

23. I'm never a fan of bombing...
and only a fan of force when it's absolutely necessary, which, sadly, it sometimes is.

33. what these dodos never ask---
WHY DID MOST OF THE WORLD and MOST LIBERALS support Bush's war in Afghanistan and not this one????

One had some logical rationale behind it (country harboring group which attacked our soil)

And the other did not.

as Iraq.
