Breitbart's Site Posts Pix Of Obama In Berlin Trying To Smear Him. DU'ers Follow Suit

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Hassin Bin Sober (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Congratulations DU!

Here is a pix posted 17 hours ago showing a SEATED crowd listening to an Obama speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate. I saw a thread on DU with the exact bullshit Breitbard is peddling. And using a dishonest pix that obviously shows people WALKING when the actual event/speech was SEATED.



The Breitbart/DU smear follows.

Stephen King is a murderer. He shot John Lennon in the back, like the coward
he is, and stole a musical/political genius from all of you. He ruined your world,
deliberately, and now you are living in the nightmare he has created for you. Now,
until you put him in jail where he belongs, all of of you are, really, just his cowards.

In 1884, meridian time personnel met

in Washington to change Earth time.

First words said was that only 1 day

could be used on Earth to not change

the 1 day bible. So they applied the 1

day and ignored the other 3 days.

The bible time was wrong then and it

proved wrong today. This a major lie

has so much evil feed from it's wrong.

No man on Earth has no belly-button,

it proves every believer on Earth a liar.



Children will be blessed for

Killing Of Educated Adults

Who Ignore 4 Simultaneous

Days Same Earth Rotation.

Upon Earth Of Quadrants.

Supports Lie Of Integration.

1 Educated Are Most Dumb.

Not 1 Human Except Dead 1.

Man Is Paired, 2 Half 4 Self.

Belly B. Proves 4 Corners.



Your dirty lying teachers

use only the midnight to

3 other days) Time to not

time. Lie that corrupts earth

People throughout the entire world despised the Bush* Administration and all it stood for and they were ecstatic with what Obama promised. Hope and Change.. Hope has certainly diminished and Change has been all but ignored. Most Bush* foreigh Policy has been continued unabated..and in fact intensified in some areas....Obama talks a great game but the proof is in the pudding..

so many people really had hope in him here in europe, i would even go as far as saying that bush was possibly hated more in europe than in the US.
nobody i speak to has that hope any more, and i dont just mean my personal friends, i include the "water cooler" convo's.
he was a real topic of interest, and now its just, meh, when his name comes up.

I posted the photos from Atlantic Wire.

Tough shit if the present government of the empire is now providing fodder for some right wing site.

That doesn't change the reality: A quarter of a million people in 2008.

A total lockdown of Pariser Platz in 2013, with only invited guests from the German establishment allowed into the area. They rebuilt the Berlin Wall on one side to keep people out. I've talked with people in Berlin meanwhile, and the story was huge over there. People were not allowed into or out of their homes during the event. And the difference is not only that he's now president, but that most Berliners would no longer greet but protest against the current CEO of Imperial Surveillance Incorporated - as they would have the last CEO, as they will the next CEO. It's time to for you all to see the corporatist state behind the political ponyshow.
