Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, November 10, 2009

One by one, President Barack Obama spoke the names and told the stories Tuesday of the 13 people slain in the Fort Hood shooting rampage, honoring their memories even as he denounced the "twisted logic" that led to their deaths. "No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor," Obama told the crowd on a steamy Texas afternoon. "And for what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice -- in this world and the next."

'Tis a shame, ain't it, that Obama went to Ft Hood instead of Berlin?

Now how was He supposed to be in Berlin Yesterday and honoring His fallen servicemen/Women today at Fort Hood. Man's got a full plate and yet people have the utter gall to bitch and moan. Unfuckingbelievable to the nth degree.

I think it was a fine thing for 0bama to do


I think that makes it is 6 or 7 nice things I've said about him

This was a good and decent thing to do, and the right way to handle it. The people who thought he didn't care about these killings couldn't be more wrong.

The White House said he wasn't going to Germany before the terrorist killed all those people.

This wouldn't happen to be the same people that believed he is a muslim kenyan marxists, would it?

I think I'm starting to see a pattern.

I don't understand how the Ft. Hood shooting is about Obama in any way.

It wasn't a result of anything he's done, and he's reacted appropriately.

Nothing Obama ever says or does-or doesn't say or do-is ever going to be enough for the lunatic fringe of the gnop.

He beat their guy hands down in a fair fight-and they will never forgive him for it.

It makes being a critic of Obama a pain in the ass. Legitimate criticisms get lost in a sea of bull shit like, "Obama doesn't care about the Ft. Hood victims."

God, does it ever. There have been many times I've had to abandon legit criticisms of the man to defend him against lunatic assaults on this site.

it's starting to really piss me off, as Obama has done many things to anger me, but I rarely get the opportunity to talk about them.

Obama IS Commander-In-Chief after all. Wouldn't look good if he sent one of his Czars down there to Ft. Hood... I have a hard time thinking he gives a damn since he has no trouble seeing the deaths mount in Afganistan while he diddles.

Obama's Afghan Plan: About 40K More Troops

#13 | Posted by LIVE_OR_DIE at 2009-11-10 09:27 PM


It wasn't/isn't Obama's plan. It was/is McChristy's plan. Obama just knows that it's political death for him if he doesn't comply.

Personally at this point I think we should just get out. It's long ago became apparent that we send soldiers in and then tie their hands behind their back.

Time to go. This could have been largely over some time ago were we not so pc.

Terror is now a man made disaster. Global warming has been changed to Climate change. Health reform became insurance reform. No matter how they try to make phrases and words more palletable it doesn't change reality for those who seek it. None are so blind as those that refuse to see.

The commies have arrived. Of course Joe McCarthy saw that some years ago.

Liberals think that Nidal Hasan needed some diversity training.

Hello, Mr. Cheney. Go fuck yourself.

"This could have been over long ago (Afghanistan) if we weren't so PC...."

This sort of tripe continues to be trotted out, does it?

If you sincerely believe the "long ago", then obviously you credit George Bush with being PC.

People not smart enough to know what to do with a war often assume things would go better if it were more brutal.

Smart is hard but nasty is easy. Whatever the end game in Afghanistan, it would have been worse with you in charge.

"Of course Joe McCarthy saw that some years ago."

JOe McCarthy was a paranoid lunatic and so are you.

I'm sure Kissntell is rethinking his position on Obama since the CiC did what he wanted and escalated Afghanistan. 40k more troops and endless war from Mr. Peace Prize Material. Just what the rightards wanted.

So, I watched the speech video.

Did he hit the message? Ah, yup.

Did he use the evil teleprompers? Ah, yup.

Are evil teleptompers any different from the PowerPoint slides most other CEOs use?

Umm... no.

Am I trying to get the thread back on track?

Maybe.

Am I going to bed?

Probably.

First, before I go on about the Fort Hood Masacre let me also give a shout out to Joe Medicine Crow, a Medal of Honor winnner! (who knew and a winner no less), and second let me say before anyone jumps to any conclusions and make myself perfectly clear that it seemed a good an appropiate speech from a very odd man.

Obama's speech honoring the victims at Fort Hood was sombre, compassionate and compelling.

Hit all the right notes.

Even his wingnuttier critics have nothing bad to say here except to rehash last weeks talking points.

Some nice points made on this thread.

Particularily THIS.

It makes being a critic of Obama a pain in the ass.

Spud also has legitimate criticisms of Obama's administration and also finds that instead of discussing them rationally around here there's a lot of time being wasted jut battling moronic arguments like "Obama hates the troops" or "it's all part of a massive, sekret, muslim conspiracy" or wotever meme du jour the RW media is currently spinning.

Anyhoo, kudos to Obama on this one.

Be Well.

/As he does
stage left

#22 I say kudos also. I appreciate the way the President handled this.

And by the way, Spud - my 5th-Element-related comment after the Somali pirate thing was actually in praise of the President. It's possible you folks way up north aren't big on subtlety.

More kudos.

The speech was prepared for him and he delivered it. He had a hard time getting out words that are synonymous with TEEEEEEERORISM. This administration has painted itself into another corner in order to appease the Muslim world and the contradiction is another 40K troop to Afghanistan--- has the Nobel peace prize been delivered yet? Can we have it back?

Re #21, Joe Medicine Crow, contrary to what Obama said, is not a Medal of Honor recipient. He did, however, receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

And the whining and sniveling by the wacked out sheeple on this thread about Obama at Fort Hood just shows that their "political philosophy" boils down to "My authority figure good, other guy baaaaaad."

What he did, by going there and saying what he said, was entirely appropriate.

As far as written for you teleprompter speeches go I think he did a good job.

At least he did not choose to do a shout out at this one.

Seriously, this type of thing should go beyond partisanship.

But no...we get the "teleprompter" talking point again.

Obama could cure cancer and you dumb fucks would hate him for drying up the chemo therapy industry.

The moonbat howling from the right makes it almost impossible to have a decent, concise dialogue about things obama IS screwing up.

You lost ONE election. One. And you've already gone more batshit bugfuck in 11 months than the libbies did in 8 years of W screwing everything up. STFU, Please.

I feel sorry for Obama-- a guy without any experience in running anything, has written a couple of books, and speaks articulately-- doesn't have a clue about what to do with the economy and has turned over all responsibility of it to congress and when something is ultimately produced regarding healthcare he'll sign it (whatever it is). There is no leadership in Washington and congress will continue to play their childish games while Rome burns. The American people are totally dumbed down--- when asked recently on a street corner who the V.P. was almost all could not give the answer but you can bet they knew who a certain actress (Joline?) was and who she was married to. I'll know that this country has turned a corner when the sleaze of hollywood is no longer accepted as a norm.

#30 - Can't argue with the second half of your rant, Matsop. It's appalling how clueless the average American is. But it's hardly the fault of the current administration.

And kudos to Obama for his speech at Ft. Hood. Just the right tone for such a sad and despicable act.

The problems have evolved over years and administrations--- my problem with the current administration is the lack of change and politics as usual--- look at the folks around Obama---we can't afford the usual politics. I knew nothing had changed in Washington with this administration when the "stimulus package" came out--- after all the rhetoric of the campaign, the thing was handed over to Pelosi and Reid and it was loaded with pork. Not only that there was absolutely no direction to it (it showed me the lack of Obama's executive experience)--- I tell you one thing if I made the committments he did and ran this thing I would never have let that thing see the light of day in what it represented.--- I do agree he made a nice speech at Fort Hood, however, "nice speeches" are no longer going to hack it for this country. By the way, in the future, you'll see another stimulus coming out of Washington.

Legitimate criticisms get lost in a sea of bull shit like, "Obama doesn't care about the Ft. Hood victims."

Obama inherited this massacre from the Bush administration.

It sure was nice to see home give a shout out for those who were brutally killed

gee.

how could he have gotten from berlin on monday to killeen on tuesday

I dont know...

HOW ABOUT fuckin flying on air force one??


and it was well said except for one part.

he said something about how this was such a surprise..
what was the big surpise.

just heard that every base has a departmnet of 'social acts'....is that correct..is there someone who knows if thats true.

and its a fact that the left doesnt want to admit,.

If you were any dumber a syndrome would be named in your honor.

thanks for proving that you are just another punk who cant see the truth about it.

get back to msnbc where they continue to close thier eyes to this. the only result will be more people dead and they will be on the hands of politically correct liberals who apparently just dont give a fuck about who dies because of it.
my charge isnt based on rumors but even on reports from cnn last night who had guests there who even talked about it.

so take your little personal comments and shove it up your ass.

but IM sure you wont..
that would mean sticking to the argument and making a point.

BL2,
STFU, stupid.

Yesterday is was Islam that was responsible. You tards really need to get on the same page.

Obama never had an intent to go to Berlin. He was dissed during the campaign, and was merely throwing a finger back at Germany. However, I find it hard to believe anything he says at functions such as the one at Ft. Hood. He's nothing but a ultra-liberal peace-nick fuck, who's only leaving troops in theater to appear strong. What kind of fucked up leader would take three months to do what his hand-picked general told him needed to be done in the first place? This sniveling weasel of a politician is a disgrace and a danger to the country. If he had any balls they would be seriously hurting by trying to straddle the middle so hard.

hey 101

bite me bitch

I dont recall reading or listening to anyone on the right say that it was islam. that is another way the left shows us that they..JUST LIKE asshole obama and his people are...that they are doing everything they can to make us on the right look like more of a threat than islamic jhadist like this dick.
it simply wont work.

and that line of attack will only do one thing. it will ensure more people dead. too bad that the left doesnt give a fuck about those people

what are you babbling about?

You think he knows?

Nobody knows, but everyone can't wait for it to stop.

Seriously, the guy is dumber than a sack of Celisary's.

IM babbling about how the left is apparently okay with more attacks like the one on fort hood because if they were they would be more interested in finding out the real reason this happened in order to prevent it from happening again.
all of thier rhetoric proves otherwise.

hear what matthews said
he wondered if it was against the law to contact al quaida...

uh...they are the enemy you know, CHRIS>...

and JUST IMAGINE...if they had found a book by orielly or beck in his house..the left would be demanding that person was silenced and put in jail.

alex and 101

theres two birds of a feather.

so in an attempt to keep from wallowing in the cesspool that is 101 and alex

any answers to my question

is there a dept of 'social acts" where minority discipline and minorities not getting promotions are looked at?

and if there is.....where they involved in this prick not being dismissed?

NOW I KNOw this may be a little too much for the likes of 101 and alex to comprehend but maybe someone can explain it to them

so you contend that the left, which is by definition at least 50% of the population is ok with attacks like Ft Hood?

Ok gotcha

NOOOOOWWWW starting from that reasonable theme we move on.

you contend that the left doesnt want an investigation?

ok gotcha


Matthews (didnt know he was a liberal or represented the left wing) was asking about when and where a law was broken and when do you stop someone like hassan. Simple question, actualy it is a helpful question towards "finding out the real reason this happened in order to prevent it from happening again". IE so that the legal community has the proper tools to address the issue.

Or do you think that someone who supports AQ by uttering some words should immediately be locked up in jail? I think Matthews was attempting to clarify the situation, (which goes towards preventing it from happening again).


Of course we could just use your thought process and overreact and throw everyone in jail, beat a few people senseless to get confessions and move on.

you are the one making the claim about the alleged Dept of Social Acts. you do some research and get back to us.

Oh, I'm crushed. The biggest babbling partisan idiot on drudge doesn't like me.

Christ, afk...even LISA can't stand you.

IM babbling about how the left is apparently okay with more attacks like the one on fort hood because if they were they would be more interested in finding out the real reason this happened in order to prevent it from happening again.

It's kinda hard to find the real reason with all you right wing dipshits screaming "ISLAMIC TERRORIST!" and saying "CASE CLOSED".

IM babbling about how the left is apparently okay with more attacks like the one

I can scarcely get my pants down fast enough to jerk off over the very thought.

God...you really are dumber than dogshit.

so you contend that the left, which is by definition at least 50% of the population is ok with attacks like Ft Hood?

OK? We love it. If only we knew where to send money so it could happen with greater frequency.

(BTW, I'm being facetious. Thought I'd point that out for all the dummies like BL2)

www.cbsnews.com


Military officials were made aware of communications between Hasan and al-Awlaki, but because the messages did not advocate or threaten violence, civilian law enforcement authorities could not take the matter further, the officials said.

The alternative that afkababble seems to be advocating is that all of the US Citizens who had contact with al Awlaki be arrested.

Again on what charge? seems like officials investigated the contact and found no illegal behavior.

Hey I dont have a problem with people who had contacts with al Alawki be investigated but where do you draw the line?

There didnt seem to be any intelligence indicating illegal acts by Hassan, ie. planning to kill people.

So where does one draw the line.

Remember this is still the US and we do still have a few rights.

Alex that really wasn't fair even though I do understand your frustration with BL2.

I don't hate anyone.

I just choose not to listen...or read his partisan hatred any longer. But that doesn't mean I can't stand HIM as a person.

BL2 is definately an extremist where politics are concerned, no doubt about it....but he does have good qualities.

He just doesn't show them here. : )

its nice to make a charge and have posters prove me right.
if you care about the people killed at hood and about the ones who may be in the future, you would care enough to see the signs that prove he didnt just go crazy and see that the enemy is not us on the right but islamic jhadist.
but then that would mean admitting that we were right and the reaction here and nationally shows everyone that the left would rather more people die than do something about the political correctness brought to us by liberals that is at the root of this whole matter.
its real simple..without the politically correctness of the US ARMY, hasan may have not been anywhere near these people.

I never said he should be arressted. but he was in the military ADVISING SOLDIERS...and have to seen bits of the lecture he did.......

and the real stupid argument that he was just suffering from the syndrome thing..when he had never even been overseas.
what nonsense.

even leftists radicals here should see how that doesnt exactly help the WAR ON TERROR

THATS RIGHT>>>I SAID IT no matter what napolitano tells us it is...

geesh!

left would rather more people die than do something about the political correctness brought to us by liberals that is at the root of this whole matter.

You made the assertion, and have thusfar failed to prove it. Doesn't stop you from blaming "political correctness" and the left for a soldier blowing away his fellows, though.

Scumbag.

LISA

Im not extremist and that fact will be seen in a little less than a year.
Im not extremist but my reaction to the radicallization of this once great country and to the attacks from liberal fucks here may be seen as that.


and now its lunch time again in southeast texas.

its nice to make a charge and have posters prove me right.

Yes, it is. Let us know if it ever happens to you.

all you need for proof is to listen and read what media and dems are saying about this dick and the issue.

with all of the things that he was doing and saying, there is no way he should have been in the position to kill these people.

AGAIN>..if his name were billy bob jumpback and he sprayed a planned parenthood calling out to people about GOD IS great or are you saved...you and the others here would be singing a whole different tune.

but you see

THE NEWeST and biggest number of VICTIMS in the us are muslims.

can you provide some back up to your assertion that

"...without the politically correctness of the US ARMY, hasan may have not been anywhere near these people."

it seems the FBI and the Army and civilian authorities (read CIA and NSA in my book) all investigated this guy and didnt perceive him as a threat.

What do you believe could have been done differently?

I would imagine that the military has all sorts of contacts with all sorts of unsavory individuals (that is all part of the intelligence gathering program).

They certainly couldnt look into his mind and see he was going to do what he did.

Perhaps you are correct in that the military etc should give more thought to employing people with potentially radical contacts in service. But where does that leave the military vis a vis white supremacists? or Anarchists? or militia groups?

Unless a crime was committed, what acts could they have taken.

Again the answer may be that a crime was committed when he contacted al Alawki, that may be the case. it does disturb me that this didnt warrant some action, but trained law enforcement people with a great deal more knowledge on the subject than you or I made a decision. I seriously doubt that decision (made by several different groups) was impacted by PC considerations, especially in the post 9/11 world (and remember he was under investigation prior to Obama being innaugriated.

okay but just think about it
this guy who has made so many comments that they KNEW ABOUT was still there.

come on....

ANOTHER PROBLEM...lack of communication between intellegence agencies...


all you need for proof is to listen and read what media and dems are saying about this dick and the issue.

TH: again provide proof of these conversations people are having about this dick and the issue and how it supports your assertion.


with all of the things that he was doing and saying, there is no way he should have been in the position to kill these people.

TH: again, what could have been done differently? Please keep your answers limited to non-monday morning quarterbacking.


AGAIN>..if his name were billy bob jumpback and he sprayed a planned parenthood calling out to people about GOD IS great or are you saved...you and the others here would be singing a whole different tune.

TH: So when the guy who killed the abortion doctor was on the radar screen of law enforcement officials he should have been arrested, before he committed any crime? Hey maybe you have something here, we should infiltrate all these domestic terrorists organizations including muslim groups, anti-choice groups, militias, white supremecist groups and arrest anyone who possibly COULD commit a crime.

but you see

ummm your point being what? we should arrest all the people we don't know about?

There seemed to be decent communication between the agencies, FBI and military at a bare minimum. Someone made a judgement call. I am sure they make many judgement calls, most work out just fine, others lead to Fort Hood.


He is a US Citizen, law enforcement knew what he was doing, they made a decision, turned out a wrong decision.

Hey if it is illegal to contact al Alawki, then yes the FBI etc should be held accountable.

Not sure how you can legislate thought though.

And I dont have a problem with having laws that make it illegal to contact al Alawki at all. Again that seems like a logical thing to do. But hassan was amoung many people who attended his mosque, should we arrest all those american citizens?

"Btw...I miss Kanrei!"

You're going to say that every day for the next 18 days, aren't you?

It does not appear that people haven't even thought about the fact that if this cowardly act of terrorism can happen on a U.S. military base, then there is NOWHERE in America that is safe--even after spending trillions on Homeland Security.

Yes, the HNIC's political correctness and lets place "diversity" ahead of safety, got these people killed. FUCK OFF OBAMA

like this thug gives a rats ass about the military. the fort hood tragedy took a 2min back stage to his main media event of the day, the indians, and after more than a month he still keeps his generals hanging about granting them more troops. talk about a window to his soul. this president is a disgrace. he pimps the military solely for his own political benefit.

I thought it was a pretty good speech (don't let Larry see this, it'll ruin his narrative).

I thought the way he personalized the deceased was a very nice touch, and very appropriate. He was appropriately somber without being overly melodramatic.

My only nit to pick is that I would have liked a little more condemnation toward the perp as well as more clarity toward defining this as an act of Islamic terrorism, which is precisely what it was.

All in all though, I thought he handled this well.

Hmmm...then you are an extremist. Just like those who are extremist Islam and some of your extremist fellow AMERICANS you are hell bent on destroying, wanting your countrymen to bow to your way of thinking. How American of you!

You are concerned about Christianity?? When you use God's name in vain on a consistant basis??? Do you pray with that mouth too?

You pretend to fight to preserve something you don't even follow and the really sad part is, you don't see it.

You're a threat to the very things you want others to think are dear to you.

-capitalism and christians and free enterprise

One of these things is not like the others.... despite rightwing propaganda to the contrary.


"What seems so odd about much of "conservatism" today is that it apparently now amounts to a belief in "rugged individualism", which in turn amounts to a Social Darwinism of the worst kind, and also a Darwinian perspective on crony corporate capitalism, or the "free market" as it is so innocently known.


It touts this application of "survival of the fittest" culture on the great masses of people, while the very few percent of the whole, the wealthy, make sure that "conservatism" is a good and faithful servant by dividing the masses with "Culture War" issues with which to keep them occupied..... sort of like a baby with a rattle(r).


And having in recent years recruited right-leaning evangelicals to their cause to replace lost moderates, the moneyed interests have made so called Christians the tools of Social Darwinism and the voice of intolerance to others and heightened the suspicion of treating each other well in our governmental policies, to form a more perfect union, as that might be considered less than individualistic and (shudders) possibly even socialistic.


Which appears odd coming from a creed whose first adherents, under the influence of their God via the Holy Spirit, sold all they had, rich or poor, and lived communally.
