Gee! What coincidental timing. ObamaCare is on the ropes and the Leftwing loons are growing angry with Obama. What to do? What to do? Simple. Try to make the loons forget their disappointment about public option ObamaCare fading away as well as punish those Wascally Republicans by unleashing the Attorney General Hound Eric Holder on the EVIL Bush administration by investigating laughable torture allegations. Does anybody think Obama would have given the thumbs up to Holder if ObamaCare were sailing along thanx in part to cooperative Republicans? Of course not. This is an entirely POLITICAL investigation. And if you doubt it, just check out the bloodlust glee of the KOmmies in this THREAD, "Breaking: HOLDER to appoint Special Prosecutor!!!" Yeah, the liberal MSM types will publicly pretend that this investigation isn't political but the KOmmie posts here belie that pretension. So let us now watch the KOmmies dance for glee over the highly political investigation of the Bush CIA in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching yet another example of Chicago thuggery that is sure to backfire bigtime, in in the [barackets]:
Breaking: HOLDER to appoint Special Prosecutor!!!
[Enjoy! Perhaps you won't notice the ObamaCare fade while you're celebrating.]
Just got text from WAPO: US Attorney general to appoint prosecutor to investigate allegations that CIA interrogators broke anti-torture laws.
[EEK! They tortured with A/C and extra helpings of orange glaze chicken with rice pilaf.]
This is a great day in America. I don't know much about Durham, but I know having a special prosecutor is what I've wanted since Jan. 20, 2009, and one of the reasons (besides healthcare) that I worked so hard on the campaign.
[Since ObamaCare seems to be a bust, one out of two ain't bad. However, when the backfire comes, you will end up with ZERO out of two.]
Lock 'em up, incl. Dick.
[Straight to The Hague. Do not pass Go.]
Especially Dick. He's the instigator here. He above all needs to be taken down.
[Cheney was in the CIA the past 8 years? No matter. Prosecute now and sort it out later.]
Don't forget the Chimp. He signed off. Don't let him skate with "Who, me? I'm too stupid."
[Why not go for broke and prosecute Rush Limbaugh too?]
There must be investigation, there must be prosecution, and there ultimately must be life sentences without parole or pardon for 1) the people at the top who ordered torture, 2) those near the top who violated the Constitution on an almost daily basis to allow it to happen, and 3) those who crafted the legal opinions to let it happen.
While many others also arguably deserve life sentences, the absolute minimum is for the people in those three categories to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Anything less is unacceptable to the continued survival of the Constitution, the rule of law, and any semblance of morality or human dignity.
Names in those three categories include, but are not limited to: Cheney, Rove, Bush, Addington, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Yoo, Bybee.
[And don't forget Barney the Dog.]
Why not use the the Nuremberg trials as a guide....for trying our home-grown international law and constitutional criminals? I can see little difference between the Nazis and these bastards.
[Eichman turned up the A/C at the camps and force fed the prisoners large helpings of orange glaze chicken?]
Rummy, too and I'm betting a guy named Rove got involved, too. Not to mention a couple of Generals.
[Fortunately Karl Rove has already been indicted on May 12, 2006.]
I did state that they should all be in prision. Heck, the dog should probably go too for standing by his master til the end.
[I SWEAR I did NOT read this when I jokingly posted above about Barney the Dog being investigated.]
but what I have learned about Holder ... is that he's methodical and extremely prepared - he's been pushing back on a special prosecutor on torture until he had a clear strategy ...
[but what I have learned about Holder ... is that he's been pushing back against prosecuting the Black Panthers in Philly for threatening voters at the polls with clubs.]
We can lock up the interrogators. We can lock up the memo lawyers. We can lock up people like Rumseld and Rice. All that would be great. But in the end, it STILL won't send the message that the world needs to see. Unless we also lock of GEORGE W. BUSH AND DICK CHENEY, this is gonna be little more than a whitewash.
[Hey! Go for broke! LOCK UP ALL CONSERVATIVES!!!]
I think maybe the overall populace will need to see a huge accumulation of facts before they will begin to believe the degree of horrific-ness that the Cheney administration represented. This move opens to the door to those revelations to those who don't watch MSNBC.
[Yeah, it will open their eyes as to how political these investigations are.]
After the Fitzgerold fiasco I'm not sure it matters. I don't know that the criminal enterprise that was the Bush/Cheney administration can ever be cracked.
[MERRY FITZMAS!!!]
Now let's hope it actually leads to actual justice!
[Justice like the Marc Rich pardon to which Holder gave his thumbs up.]
Look, I want to see Bush and Cheney investigated as much as anyone, but the idea of us "pushing" the AG on any of this is incredibly offensive. It's not Holder's job to give a shit what you or I think. It's his job to enforce the law.
[Enforce the law? So where were the indictments of the Philly Black Panthers who threatened voters with clubs?]
These crimes must be prosecuted, no matter where they lead.
[Unless they lead to Black Panthers intimidating voters.]
Obama took on Holder specifically because he knew he would seek this info out and pursue it, maybe the exact day isn't the best timing but you can be sure that there was a general time frame for investigations to begin.
[The time frame began when Obama's popularity entered the free-fall stage.]
I don't want to see Cheney locked up. As a person who also has a pacemaker, I want to see the battery in Cheney's pacemaker removed. That's good enough for me.
[Feel the love!]
Does anyone think this is strange timing? It seems like there are so many Obama Administration irons in the fire right now, will this get the attention it really needs? Perhaps this is a way of getting the Grand Obstructionist Party to pay less attention to killing Health Care reform and to leave Cap 'N Trade alone.
[Yup! It certainly is strange timing. And it is ALL ABOUT POLITICS.]
All I want for christmas is Bush-Cheney in a cell
[MERRY FITZMAS!]
Would have LOVED Fitzgerald in that post.
If you will recall...Fitzgerald did NOT indict Rove.
[Oh yes he did. It happened on May 12, 2006. Just ask William Rivers Pitt.]
This only matters if they go after DoD higher ups and the Vice President. Locking up some CIA chumps will be a waste of time and effort and make us look like dicks.
[Have no fear. You already look that way.]
I have said it before, timing, by the time 2010 - 2012 roll around, Dick and Geroge will be getting their subpeonas.
[Drooled the KOmmie in anticipation.]
The Right will point to left-leaning sites like Kos and say "See it's a political witch hunt".
[Li'l Beaver's finger is already pointing straight at you.]
This is an instance where it would be better to celebrate in silence and let the process go where it may. Obama has desperately tried to distance himself from any Holder situation, to try and keep politics out of it.
[Too late. We have already noticed your gloat fest.]
They need to get the higher ups, especially Bush and Cheney, and they need also to go out and expose just how widespread this atrocious behavior was. I think that every time we win one thing, it makes it easier to win the next one. It's about time; let's go!
[Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Bush and Cheney must go...to The Hague.]
I had hope and faith that this would happen. I am so happy!
[And when you're finished with the massive urinations of happyness in your pants, you might notice that ObamaCare has been run off the road.]
War crimes were committed by George W. ("We don't torture!") Bush, Dick (dictator) Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John (Torture isn't torture so it is legal.) Yoo, George ("Medal of Freedom") Tenet, Alberto ("I don't recall.") Gonzales, John (Jesus Christ is my savior.) Ashcroft, David Addington, et. al. Execute quickly!
[Bypass the trials! Go straight to the gallows!]
Re: Post #7...... Genius. Sheer Genius.
Waterboard Eric Holder
Got it via email, author unknown.... so feel free to pass it on.
I used the quotes with my own comments in another forum that usually does not see that sort of stuff. They loved it!
[I SWEAR I did NOT read this when I jokingly posted above about Barney the Dog being investigated.]
I lol'd IRL.
If these fools were exposed to one second of real torture they’d faint dead away.
UNBELIEVABLE! The Pittster just confirmed me as a FaceBook friend.
Congratulations! I expect the wedding invite will be in the mail any day now.
I wonder what Democratic Dipsomaniac thinks of our lampooning him on the DUmmie FUnnies. I hope he has a sense of humor about it. I wouldn't mind sitting down by him at Bukowski's and tossing back a few, talkin' a little baseball, that sort of thing.
Me, I haven't taken the plunge yet on that Spacebook/MyFace/Tweeter dealy. I try to avoid new technology as long as possible.
I am on Twitter and Facebook and they are highly overrated! Pah!
"Justice is in the Aye of AG Holder"
I asked PJ that same question, since he and Willie are now Spacebook pals. See post 47.
Cheney Insanity Addiction (CIA) has no cure.
Peace, Love & Tolerance Award™, kev?
Um, it's Facebook. MySpace is more for teenyboppers. As for "Tweeter," I'm surprised you don't make use of it (and FaceBook). Because of the LCMS rumblings, it is a great way to network with your fellow "rumblers."
I just checked. FaceBook has an LCMS group of over 1600 members. My prediction is that the next LCMS convention choice for President (of LCMS) will be greatly influence by FaceBook and especially Twittering.
Agreed. Twitter is absurd. I'm only staying on because my congressman and I are linked (Oh, PJ too...). But it's useless as far as I'm concerned.
Facebook is somewhat more useful, but there's still a lot of garbage that gets posted. I have friends I can keep in touch with, and that ubiquitous congresscritter, and someone who runs a historical organization I belong to.
The ones who Twit don’t even answer you when you twit back...it’s annoying. (I know it’s supposed to be “tweet”, but twit fits!)
Facebook friends who tell you silly stuff that they are doing or what dumb games that they are playing are worse than useless! LOL!
FR rules—the others drool!
Except for PJ. I might have to “follow” him. :D
Right on. My page gets loaded with that stuff. I just ignore it. I use it to keep in touch with people and groups, that's all. Right now, I sent a message to a person who's name matches an online genealogy database that has my family in it. I'm trying to determine whether she's the same person, and how we can share information. THAT'S where I find the benefit of Facebook...
I “hide” the game stuff. I actually left it for a while and deleted all my friends. Now I am slowly adding back...and not all that I had before. I don’t have time for it. LOL!
Never thought about using it for genealogy! Might have to look into that!
I came upon it accidentally yesterday. I'd read and downloaded the online genealogy posted by the wife, but no email information was available. So I did a Google search under the husband's name (thinking there may be more links available through him than her maiden name).
I found what I believe is his Facebook page. I left a message but haven't had a response. Then this a.m. I did another Google search and came up with what may be HER Facebook page. I left another message with her.
I never gave Facebook a thought about Genealogy until this occurred. Now, it's beginning to make some sense.
I think that would be one of the best applications.
Also, people in communications would find it useful...for contacts.
I, however, have 4 friends. LOL! I enjoy FR much better!
