Team Obama's Justification For Killing A 16-Year-Old American In A Drone Strike Is Stunning
Michael Kelley | Oct. 24, 2012, 2:04 PM

Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, a senior adviser to President Obama's reelection campaign, recently became the first person on Team Obama to address the killing of 16-year-old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, Conor Friedersdorf of the The Atlantic reports.

Abdulrahman was the son of New Mexico-born cleric and al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Alwaki. Both were killed in separate drone strikes last year.

A reporter asked Gibbs: "Do you think that the killing of Anwar al-Alwaki's 16-year-old son, who was an American citizen, is justifiable?"

Here is Gibbs' answer:

Gibbs ought to be in jail for his crass lying to the American people as he supports his fearless leader. The same applies to the clown who is now the chief truth deflector for the liar-in-chief......

How anyone could vote for this lying bunch of a-holes is beyond me......


Yeah, there are still a lot of dumb clucks out there that would vote for the man-child. Crap, I get into it with one of the kool-aid drinkers on Facebook that went to school with me. I pray to God that Romney wins just so I can see him call the "wambulance." I've known him for 40 years, since I was 6, we went from pre-1st grade all the way to high school, yet there is a thought in my mind to unfriend him. I pray that with a Romney win, I can cash the checks I write.

Everyone in the Obama Administration has blood on their hands and anyone that still supports him to this day as well.

I have lots of relatives that I no longer speak to. They’re all obama worshippers and I can’t stand to even talk to them.

You read my mind, read my message 21 about a guy I knew for 40 years since I was 6. There are very few Obama supporters I'd be friends with. The old ones because they are like Mr. Magoo where they still think the Democrates are still the Hubert Humphrey party. I might give those a pass but the ones my age and younger, I have no patience with, they should know better. One or two are good friends of mine and I often say, "I disagree and if you value our friendship, let's not take about it and shift gears."

Except for a very few, I've divorced most Obama supporters from my life, Yes, Virginia, we are in a Cold Civil War.

I just hope Romney wins, I want to cash the checks I write and want to see them call the "wambulance."

Romney HAS to win. I think I'll get down on my knees and pray hard to God every night.

"I'm not going to get into Anwar al-Alwaki's son … I would suggest that you have a far more responsible father if they're truly concerned about the well being of your children. I don't think becoming an al-Qaeda jihadist terrorist is the best way to go about doing your business."

Hmmmm - bad daddy and separated attacks to kill them. Perhaps the ONE (imagine the word sung and echoing as if by a choir of Angels...) isn't really...else he would know Jeremiah 31:29-34 ESV / 12 helpful votes In those days they shall no longer say: “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.’ But everyone shall die for his own sin. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge. “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ...

the sins of the father will no longer be held against the sons.

I don’t think any of them get freebies. There are millions of people who worship this guy as they watch their taxes and insurance premiums go up. That’s why I don’t understand it. That’s also why I refuse to speak to them. It’s impposible to have a conversation with mentally challenged or brainwashed people.

There has been a lot of “de-friending” on FB. I don’t even go there anymore. I got tired of all the liberal ranting and insults. Come join us and tell him you’re through with him.

I know, it seems like their reasoning abilities go out the window. I think of the "I Mudd" episode of Star Trek where the androids took care of Harry Mudd but refused to let him leave (or Kirk & Co when they beamed down) but when the androids encounter something outside their programming, they get a stare akin to the "Blue Screen of Death," their number around their necks blink and consult the head android. I think the Obama supporters are the same way except they resort to name calling without backup facts. OK, we name call too, but at least we got the facts to back us up.

Yeah, I might give him the heave ho. Almost all my FB friends are conservative though and when FR crashes, we go there. Most of my high school classes of 84 and 85 (I’m 85) I’ve friended do believe the Kenyan is a Moslem born in Kenya.
