Meanwhile, over at Faux Noise...
Wondering about their reaction to the McChrystal firing, I checked out their poll and responses:

YOU DECIDE

Did the president do the right thing by accepting McChrystal's resignation?

No. We need stability in Afghanistan. The general should have been forgiven. 67.4% (126,766 votes)

Yes. The chain of command must be respected by the military. 29.5% (55,379 votes)

Other (leave a comment) 3.1% (5,890 votes)

Total Votes: 188,035

Link to vote on this question:

For amusement purposes only, here are a few of the comments left by Faux devotees:


When I hear the words Obama and brilliant spoken in the same sentence--it gives me a head ache. The two words just don't go together!!!! <(Red Penny)>

I believe everthing the media says. Yeah right. I quit believing the liberal media years ago. If you read the liberal papers you have to believe in fairy tales. Go to fox news and hear the whole story. <(bill)>

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. obama, works for us, and think about how he has talked about the tea party, or anyone who gets in his way.
It's time to call obama, by his right name. DICTATOR! We have to get him out of office. <(Florida Gulf)>

Ah yes, a 'Brilliant' imbecile. How about some 'Brilliant' solutions in the gulf you degenerate chicago idiot. <(joe the ahole)>

They are in the minority in America. No one should praise Obama, the Anti-Christ, for anything, unless he resigns. <(Judgment)>


Obama Bin Lyin again. I can't stand this jerk. EVERY opportunity he has, he pushes his SOCIALIST AGENDA. He a tyrant that has no regard for the U.S. Constitution. We have to elect conservatives to congress this fall, at the very least to slow Obama's socialist agenda. Obama is anti-American, I believe he hates America and what it stands for, and is trying to "fundamentally change" it. Get active people! DONATE, help a campaign, do something BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!<(ctyank)>

1. Is Obama a Dictator or the anti-Christ?
I guess he could be both.

6. I guess they should at least give him credit for multi-tasking...
...especially when he's also so busy being a socilist, a communist, and a fascist Nazi!

:rofl:

2. Bright and shiny.



They have a long list of topics to piss and moan about just to divert attention away from the BP gusher.

4. It's kinda like the gay agenda: make the world fabulously social.
Everybody wears ascots. Commie-red ascots, not good Republcan Red-State red, of course.

7. Excuse me,
but that's his RADICAL socialist agenda. I believe it contains a spell, no doubt placed by his ally Reverend Wright, that when one is asked to explain in detail, the respondent is reduced to a twitching, muttering, spittle spewing mass of carbon and water.

5. Oh, they would complain regardless of his decision.
If he had kept McChrystal in Afghanistan, they would be calling him weak and "dithering".

He can do nothing right in their eyes.

9. Does the topic even matter anymore?
I'm surprised some capitalist hasn't copyrighted the phrase "socialist agenda". $Cha-ching!

11.  Did the president do the right thing by accepting McChrystal's resignation?
The general caused a great division in the troops.

And the Taliban are laughing their asses off.

Obama screwed up by not throwing the mofo in the brig.

12. Obama couldn't do what you suggest
Edited on Thu Jun-24-10 10:38 AM by pinboy3niner
In terms of discipline, the very most the military could do would be a fine and forfeiture (which has happened to generals in the past). But when you're going to fire him (effectively ending a long military career), there's no point in piddling around with additional minor punishments. That would have been a big mistake.

Oh, and "the brig" is the Navy's term (aboard ship, AKA "boat jail," according to Rachel Maddow). In the Army, it's the stockade.

13. Stockade then
That's where the peckerhead should be sitting right now.

He aided and abetted the Taliban and endangered many on the ground troops by fragging his superior officers.
