SUNAPEE,NH (AP)-Democrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday that the United States cannot use it's military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep US forces there.

Proof that the man is a racist, right there in his own words. Apparently Arabs and Iraqis and turks ETC. are not worthy of LIFE and Freedom!
Obama is a Racist.
The Majority is not silent
The Government is deaf.
LOL, you've got a point..
I think you're wrong. So, we disagree.
You lot remember those folks do you?
The fact that there is a "silent majority" on issue A doesn't mean there's one on issue B. Similarly, the fact that your view on issue A is the same as the silent majority's view on issue A doesn't mean that your view on issue B will be the same as the silent majority's view (if there is one) on issue B.
As it stands, you've given no evidence whatsoever that there's a silent majority on the right that is substantively opposed to the foreign policy pattern demonstrated by Bush. Just saying "they're the silent majority" doesn't amount to an argument for this. It's interesting to note that the vast majority of Republican elected representatives still choose not to oppose Bush's foreign policy approach, even now at a time when it's (supposedly) so "unpopular". This doesn't prove that the majority totally supports Bush's approach by any means, but it does give a reason to pause before asserting there's some huge silent majority opposed Bush.
If that's really true, aren't all these Republicans afraid of being tossed out of their seats? Or are they just all stupid?
Hannity et al. do not make up the majority of the modern American right.
I have no idea who "Hannity et al." are supposed to be (besides Sean Hannity). But I guess you're right that they (whoever they are exactly) don't make up the majority of the modern American right. That would require "Hannity et al" to be at least a few million people, after all, but the phrase "Hannity et al" seems to connote just a few guys at most. (Correct me if I'm wrong?) So of course they can't be a majority in a faction of millions.
Not sure what that proves.
They're just the ones on the air spouting what is clearly becoming more nonsensical by the day
I'll take your word for it, I guess. I don't really watch Hannity's show.
No kidding.
?? Don't get you here.
I just don't have Fox News, hence can't watch H&C, O'Reilly, etc. Is ok?
It reminds me of a roommate I had a few years back, I was giving her a ride to school, and had Rush on.
She commented that although she liked whoever that was and what he was saying, he sounded a little bit awkward and hesitant, and I responded by saying
He’s doing pretty good for a deaf guy.
Really?
Yeah, he has a coclear implant.
Oh. Wow, he's doing great! Good for him!
You didn’t know Rush has an implant?
That’s RUSH??? I HATE HIM!!!
To which I could only ask:
Have you ever actually listened to him?
Well, no.
Doncha think you should before you form such a strong opinion?...
Liberals only care about genocide until AFTER it has been committed. Because, who wants to actually work and be in danger to do something?
Is it in the best interest of this country to have a democratic and U.S.-friendly government in Iraq, or not?
That name was for Obama, not you. I think I made my point clear before I offered that name-call. It wasn't a last resort, just a call-out on hypocrisy.
Not the point. Is it the business of this nation to ensure that other nations have a democratic government or not? Well wisher of freedom as was stated in 1821 perhaps but not our business to determine how other nations are run
Besides other nations have been there, tried that, and it still failed. It is a nation created by Western powers immediately following WWI. Best to let them sort it out on their own. They're eventually going to anyway no matter if you, I, or anyone else likes it or not.
