From the freeper on my veterans' board -- this is a GOOD one!!


Here is what our friendly freeper posted today...fire away!!

Politics: General Petraeus made the Democrats look like idiots during the recent hearings. Despite being called a liar by many of the people on the dais, he maintained poise and control. These clowns (the Dems) even had talking points even before the report was released. Proves they are NOT even listening. The truth is that the Democrats' new strategy is the old strategy, which is cut and run. These people want to see America lose .... that is the only way they can win in 2008. Hillary's questioning of Petraeus was particularly sickening. She actually said one had to be willing to "suspend disbelief" in order to believe Petraeus. In other words, she called a 4-star General a liar. This is the same man that was unanimously approved for the position just a few months ago.

Me thinks if the General had negative news, they would have all had public orgasms.

1. Patreus was NOT there in his capacity as General. He was there as official spokesperson for Bush.
And he was ORDERED to lie.

He did what a good soldier did-- he followed his orders and completed his mission-- as ordered-- including the part where he said Bush didn't tell him what to say.

2. I've got one canned response...
I've got one canned response for the radical righties - a phrase I've gotten quite used to using over the last few months:

"STAND UP FOR YOUR CONVICTIONS, AND GET YOUR YELLOW-STRIPPED BUTT OVER TO IRAQ, OR SHADDUP, AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT."

Please visit my anti-war website, www,shockedandawful.com

3. Riiiight. As if Petraeus is the only one with any information on Iraq.
Edited on Wed Sep-12-07 08:25 PM by tabasco
I guess the freep would believe the general if he said the Tigris River was full of champagne.

on edit: I would ask the freep why he chooses to believe Bush's buttboy when numerous other generals have said the Iraq war is an unwinnable quagmire.

4. I love this:
"The truth is that the Democrats' new strategy is the old strategy, which is cut and run." He's so right -- THEIR strategy is so much better -- stay and stay and stay and stay.

It's frightening to realize there are a LOT of people out there who feel as he does.

5. Probably not his words.




If he's a freeper type he's not bright enough to make observations like that on his own. He probably had his tape player going when his Pied Piper OxyRush or MushBrain Hannity were spouting their hatemongering trash and he wrote it all down later so he could post it on a message board thinking it would make him appear clever. Just ask him to elaborate or expand on his remarks and you'll never hear from him again. :rofl:

6. Does your freeper pal have a son or daughter on the way to Iraq? Is he himself on the way
to Iraq? If not, his opinions count as exactly fucking ZERO.

You wanna walk the walk, you rightwing wanker, go fight the fucking fight. If not, you can take your place in that line of chickenhawk blowhards right over there...you see it, it's the line that forms on the RIGHT.

Asshole. You ever been wounded in combat? You ever killed another human being in combat? I'll bet not.

Let us know when you've done any of the above, and MAYBE then we'll consider your opinions to be worth the few electrons they waste to be put on the internet.

"Chickenhawk?" No, I think "Chickenshit.

7. Good one.




I think the words chickenhawk and chickenshit can be used interchangeably in most cases.

9. Be-Tray-Us is not going to say, "Hey guys things aren't going so great
in Iraq." The chances of him giving a negative report is nil, nada. It won't happen. Any idiot with two brain cells to rub together knows that. The Re-Pubic-Rats are dead as a party! :dem:

10. Well, it is a veterans' board. He is a retired Navy Chief with 20 years of service.
Still -- he is full of shit.

13. Nope -- he definitely is. The veterans' board we are on is for ex-Navy
nuclear power plant operators. Most of the guys on the board are from the USS Enterprise and a bunch of them served with this guy.

Plus, we talk about certain things that only people with our training would know about. He is legit.

8. At least the freeper admits that the Democrats have a strategy.
Don't they always claim we don't?

12. Er...
"These clowns (the Dems) even had talking points even before the report was released. Proves they are NOT even listening. The truth is that the Democrats' new strategy is the old strategy, which is cut and run."

Um...isn't that last statement a...TALKING POINT? Seems that distinguished vet has spent too much time in front of Fox Nooz.

in order to remain so poised and controlled??
