Someone on DU posts: "Obama and his henchmen are no better than Bush and Cheney......" [View all]

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

And I don't alert on it. Neither has anyone else, so far.

If I didn't already have enough proof that things have just gone way too far, this would be it for me.

Never would I have expected myself to let stand a post claiming Obama to be no better than Bush and Cheney, or using the word "henchmen" to describe his advisers.

That doesn't mean I agree 100% with the poster - but in the context of this "white paper" on drones, I let the post stand.

Insane.
