How's this for a blood-chilling quote:

[post. rinse. repeat.]

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the General Discussion forum).

"Ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top Al Qaeda leaders who have been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement."

That was said by our Dear Leader, American-style.

Now pray tell, how many of you would have been frothing at the mouth if Dubya uttered such words? Now?

Nothing. But. Crickets.

[provis99]

1. that's different. Obama is a Democrat.

[great white snark]

23. Or he's countering the "appeasement" fallicy by pointing out murderers brought to justice.

[uriel1972]

70. Justice implies courts and due process

not extrajudicial killings

[FarLeftFist]

87. I like the quote. Bush would have never said that b/c Bush was SOFT on terrorism.

[Fumesucker]

2. Welcome to DU..

I hope you enjoy your stay!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

4. And may it be of appropriate longevity!

[rox63]

5. As it will be a mighty short stay. n/t

24. No, FLUORIDE!

ZOMG! You must be a teabagger!

[savannah43]

94. Why is Breitbart allowed to post his drivel here?

Huh? Own up, Andrew. Some of us recognize what passes for wit and wisdom in your head.

[sufrommich]

34. General Ripper? nt

[ProSense]

58. Self-portrait? n/t

[babylonsister]

3. Don't know. dimson couldn't get it done.

And what's your dilemma with getting these particular bad guys before they had an opportunity to do more damage-against the US?

[post. rinse. repeat.]

10. So you actually BELIEVE this pic?

[graywarrior]

79. Hahahahahahaha!

[Javaman]

115. what happened to the thread that would never die????nt

[JoePhilly]

16. Far less chilling than SHOCK AND AWE ...

as practiced in a country that had not helped in the 9/11 attacks!!!

As for OBL and the other Al Qaeda leaders who Obama killed because Bush was jerking off ... Fuck them.

There ... I'm pretty sure your crickets are now very, very, quiet.

Perhaps Cheney or his daughter, has eaten them.

[savannah43]

97. Or Dick and Lizard have been eaten by them. I suspect Nature hates them.

And the other two harpies in his immediate family.

[SecurityManager]

18. Republican or Democrat the SOB is dead

That is all I care about.

[deucemagnet]

28. And no civilians were killed in the process. n/t

[SecurityManager]

37. My thought is with the almost 3000 people who went to work that morning

Families suffering after an idiotic "this will crush the US" plan.

There is no sterile war but I suppose some would be happy with a pussy president??

[deucemagnet]

47. Sorry, I was referring to the lack of collateral damage...

...in the operation that took Bin Laden out. It definitely was a bolder and riskier move than going with a cruise missile, and I think it was the right choice.

[savannah43]

99. Bush is a hillbilly with two left feet. BHO is a surgeon.

I am not defending BHO, just stating a fact.

[Liberal In Texas]

19. Too bad he didn't take out bin Laden instead of letting him

escape at Tora Bora. And by all reports (including his own statements) he wasn't even looking for him.

If he had "uttered such words" and had the truth to back it up, I don't think anybody would have been "frothing at the mouth".

Of course, had he listened to intelligence reports and warnings, 9/11 might never have happened...but I guess that's a different story.

[Bucky]

20. Taken out of context, you have a point.

But if you look at why Obama said that--he was being asked about being called an appeaser of terrorism by the people who supported ignoring Afghanistan and attacking Iraq instead. It was blunt, but it was a pitch perfect response to a bluntly wrong accusation.

On the other hand, Bush said damn few things that involved specific numbers. Frankly, I'd be surprised if he ever knew just how many al-Qaeda operatives he'd had killed. It was not very many after 2003, by the way. However, for the record, killing al-Qaeda leaders is a good thing.

[Adsos Letter]

40. +1 Context is everything.

That's something Fox "news" specializes in...ignoring context.

[styersc]

21. Had "W" been a more effective C in C, he could have made this statement...

...but he was impotent as a leader.

I'm unhappy about the coarseness, but am pleased that we may finally be putting the "Democrats weak on Security" prejudice to bed.

[baldguy]

22. Are you saying al Qaeda isn't a threat?

I had no problem with Bush ordering attacks on terrorists trying to kill Americans. My problem is that he didn't start doing it until AFTER 9/11 - and he did a whole lot of dangerous & unnecessary shit along with it.

[Ellipsis]

29. no.

[Adsos Letter]

48. No. It looks like people reacting the way people do.

When confronting a serious situation. Each one of them has a different personal stake in the outcome.

[JTFrog]

31. Oh, you're back.

Lucky us.

Too bad they decided to open the zombie flood gate with DU3.

[sufrommich]

71. Wow, that was fast. Again, enjoy your stay. nt

[PeaceNikki]

76. tombstone. rinse. repeat.

[that went well.....]

86. 1st ammendment suppression. hypocrisy. 1st ammendment suppression...

[sufrommich]

90. A tombstone from an internet forum does

not equal 1st ammendment suppression. First world problem,indeed.

[Ferret Annica]

32. Some of us definately notice, and he is not getting my vote this time around.

[MineralMan]

45. Really? Do you thing other DUers should not vote for Obama, too?

Truth or dare.

[Ferret Annica]

61. That is for people to decide on their own

I like Barack Obama on a personal level, have donated to him up until this change allowing U.S. citizens to be grabbed in country and have 'extraordinary rendition' done to them as was done with alleged 'enemy combatants' under the illegal presidency of the Smirk and Snarl show. And I've left the 2012 sticker I got with my first monthy on my car.

So, I am not happy, I'm not sure completely what I am going to do, but I am upset, very very upset.

What's your point?

[that went well.....]

68. Power to the people, right on!

War is over (if you want it)!

[post. rinse. repeat.]

33. He's a real tough guy! And the progressive, pacifist Democrats support him all the way...

[dionysus]

36. sorry it's not working out like you hoped.

[Angry Dragon]

50. As compared to the war mongering, hate filled, kill them all

conservatives such as bush junior (daddy get me into the national guard), dickie cheney( 5 deferments)
mitty romney( me and can't serve because we serve god first), rushie limbaugh ( I have a boil on my ass or is it my mind)

do you mean these people??

[cherokeeprogressive]

35. I get the feeling that when you get tombstoned you'll be bragging about it on another site.

Just a feeling I get.

[sufrommich]

49. Yep. And we've all been schooled I'm sure.

Left speechless!

[that went well.....]

72. Nah...I think the only time I ever went to Free Republic

was when someone on DU linked to it...

Ain't that a blip?

[MilesColtrane]

38. It is blood-chilling...if you happen to be an Al Qaeda leader.

Otherwise, not so much.

[sufrommich]

42. Thumbs up. nt

[spanone]

41. nice try.....are you proud of yourself?

[Angry Dragon]

43. Would you have a link for the quote??

Thanks

[that went well.....]

75. Actually was uttered on 12/8/11

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/obama-fires-back-at-gop-appeasement-charge-ask-osama-bin-laden/

[Angry Dragon]

81. Thank you

[Swede Atlanta]

44. Is this sarcasm?

Obama has not been a public cowboy saying things like "get him dead or alive", "mission accomplished", etc.

Obama has been calculating, cool and determined and whether it is OBL, top AQ leaders, Al-Zwahiri, the Somali pirates, etc. he has not boasted of these nor taken the cowboy position.

The reason I ridiculed GWB was because he was full of shit. He had no idea what he was doing and didn't achieve any of his objectives. He invaded Afghanistan to root out AQ, capture OBL and displace the Taliban. His success was hardly complete.

He invaded Iraq on trumped up charges of WMD that led to a bloodbath, not at all his predictions of an easy win. Tell that to the families of the over 4K Americans killed in this senseless war not to mention the 100K Iraqis killed.

I don't support everything this President has done including his continued use of rendition and extension of what I consider extra-constitutional authorities. But I would give him more credibility in these matters than GWB anytime.

[Angry Dragon]

53. If I remember correctly he also said "bring it on"

Also we were told 3-6 months and out with the war being paid for by Iraqi oil............
It worked out just as he planned

[ButterflyBlood]

51. Dubya was an incompetant imbecile who couldn't get the job done.

He just fucked up things massively with pointless wars that didn't do shit about al Qaeda.

Obama on the other hand has done a hell of a lot better job in removing mass murderers from the world in his less than three years than Dubya did in eight.

[MoonRiver]

55. There is precious little I like about his presidency.

As I've said before, he's better than *, but so is a ham sandwich.

[Raffi Ella]

56. Im'a vote for him on that quote alone.

I bet you and yours are SOooo jealous you're not the ones able to use it, HA! "Dubya" talked about it but it took a Democrat to take him out.

G'Obama.

[Iggo]

73. Yep.

Perfect quote for my idiot rw acquaintances.

[ProSense]

57. Lindsey?

[Modern_Matthew]

59. I was uneasy with it. nt

60. INBTB"s

Lots of worms too under that tombstone.

It's a waste of time. You'll be forgotten in 10 minutes.

[renegade000]

85. bush wouldn't have had to say anything like that...

because no one would be on tv/talk radio constantly trying to push the meme that he was an "appeaser" and "weak on defense" etc...

[SunsetDreams]

89. That's too much sense in one statement for Dubya to put together.

ahh Bushisms

"People say, well, do you ever hear any other voices other than, like, a few people? Of course I do."

"This thaw -- took a while to thaw, it's going to take a while to unthaw."

"And they have no disregard for human life."

"This is my maiden voyage. My first speech since I was the president of the United States and I couldn't think of a better place to give it than Calgary, Canada."

To be on your own? Like a complete unknown?

[AtomicKitten]

113. Another one bites the dust.

[Texasgal]

92. Obama will never be good enough.

Apparently.

[gtar100]

95. Straw man argument. Dubya didn't do what he said he would do

(I mean what he originally said he would do) with terrorists. That is to hunt them down - then he flip-flopped. Your comparison just doesn't cut the mustard.

[SecularMotion]

98. This is over-the-top flame bait. This is poster is off to a bad start.

YOUR COMMENTS:

This is over-the-top flame bait. This is poster is off to a bad start.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon Dec 19, 2011, 05:04 PM, and voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Obama did say that, and I don't see a problem even if Bush said it.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Opinion, strongly stated, but still opinion
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree word for word with the alerter. Not only is it over the top flamebait but it is very offensive and not appropriate on this site. And I think this user must be looked at more closely because I do not think he or she is here for constructive purposes and is most likely a disruptor


Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: marginally over the top, a little bit flame baity, but not worthy of deletion. Besides the OP looks a bit silly given the responses. If anything this OP has exactly the opposite effect from what the poster intended.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The post while not entirely in context, does not rise to the level of an intentionally derisive or insensitive post, nor does it rise to the level of flame bait.

103. What is blood chilling about that quote? Bin Laden and al Queda killed more than 3,000 Americans.

There is nothing "chilling" about Obama striking back at the perpetrators.

104. Enjoy your short stay!

By the way, how's RimJob doing?

[108beads]

106. Beg your pardon? "Rim Job????!"

Leave your sexual trix out of this, por favor, 'mkay?

[TheDebbieDee]

105. Dubya could never say such a thing-cause he never killed any terrorists! He just made new ones!

[spanone]

108. how's this for a brain-numbing quote:

"We've got an issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

112. is that from the song Sweet Tombstone Trollabama?

[dionysus]

111. sleep well sweet prince.

[Summer Hathaway]

114. How's THIS for a bone-chilling quote?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the votes are in and election night has come to a close. The next president of the United States of America has been declared; George W. Bush."

To this day, it still creeps me out.

[Martin Eden]

116. Nothing "blood-chilling" about it.

It was an entirely apt -- and factual -- response to utterly false accusations of "appeasing" al Qaeda.

If Democrats had falsely accused Bush of "appeasing" al Qaeda (if Bush had killed bin Laden and most of his top lieutenants) I would have been more aghast at Dems showing such utter disregard for the facts and for the intelligence of their constituents.

As has been pointed out in another post, context is everything. The Republican presidential candidates are constantly spouting the false meme that Obama is an appeaser, so blunt and to-the-point language is exactly what was called for.

[Skinner]
