Israeli extremists to burn Obama in effigy

[Thunder]

So, yeah, I think the Israelis are right. Tell me why you think they are wrong. I am sorry, I know we are all supposed to hate Israel. It is kind of the way we all have to jump on the bandwagon de'jour. But I don't buy it.

why is it wrong to burn the President of the United States in effigy?

nothing...if you hate the President of the United States and want to see him killed.

if the Israeli police do not quickly arrest anyone who engages in such activity, I think we should reevaluate our relations with Israel.

Burning our President in effigy, is something only our enemies do...not our supposed "friends".

But we should definitely engage our enemies and work with them and avoid any actions which might seem mean-spirirted or unfriendly; we should come to the table and talk to them without preconditions.


Maybe the lesson we're sending out there is finally getting through to everyone.

What are you TALKing about?! You believe in blindly supporting our president no matter what he says?

They are 100% correct in doing what they did. Obama diserves it. Not buring Obama in effigy sends the wrong message to Obama!

I feel sorry for you if you see the world in such shallow terms. On the other hand, if you could not comprehend my post I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you are one of those people who think your GED levels the playing field.

Let's try it again. Let me tell you why they are not wrong. Obama made some big speech in Egypt (I think) shortly after taking office praising all the wonderful things Islam has done for mankind and history. Too bad everything he said was not true.

It is also too bad he probably never read the Qu'ran. If he had, he would regret making this speech.

Maybe the problem is YOU have not read the Qu'ran. Maybe that is it. Fundamental Christians are harmless dolts who think the world is flat because the biblical world is described as being flat. Fundamental Muslims are not so cute and fuzzy. Reading the qur'ran and having the blind faith to do exactly what is instructed within in order to please Allah is exactly why the Palestinians will never ever ever give up. And they are wrong.

By the way, it is also why our Iraqi friends would help us during the day because they too wanted Saddam gone -- and then plant IED's at night. It is the way of the islamic fundmantalist. It is the instructions of the Qu'ran. Read it. They have English copies, you know.

Obama diserves it.

Why?

Dear god...

What's wrong with with it if you hate the POTUS, but don't want to see him killed?

W was burned in effigy multiple times in the USA. What should we do to those American citizens?

anyone in the USA who burned Bush in effigy, should have been questioned by the Secret Service.

any foreign nation that allows their people to burn our President in effigy, is not a true friend of the USA.

i pray the Israeli police arrest any such folks promptly. i would expect the same thing from Britain, France, Germany, Ireland, Canada, etc..

They are 100% correct in doing what they did. Obama deserves it. Not burning Obama in effigy sends the wrong message to Obama!

fascinating.

 

[Bill Thompson]

Why?



Dear god...

I post words no form sentence too see
wait that almost sentence
skills you have

I am sorry. I don't speek Liberalish. I don't "feel" the impact one word statements like "HOPE" on a bumpersticker can have. "Dear God" what?

 

[Bill Thompson]

W was burned in effigy multiple times in the USA. What should we do to those American citizens?

Exactly.

After Obamas absurd speech in Egypt lots of americans wanted to protest, but there are too many stupid liberals here that would label them as racist. Israelis have balls.

 

[Thunder]

Israelis have balls.

i guess if we in the USA burn Netanyahu in effigy, we would be labeled anti-Semites.

I suppose the summary of this thread is "free speech for us but not for thus?"

Crap, that didn't work as well as I hoped it would.

So... You say Obama "diserves" it. I ask why, and the question confuses you?

"Dear God" what?

You just made a really, really REALLY dumb statement. (Not to mention you cite a speech that Obama made. Claim that everything he said in it isn't true, and somehow forget to link to the speech... Odd that.)

That and "But they did it tooooooooo!!!"

It is not extremist to burn Obama in effigy.
It is not anti-american to burn Obama in effigy.

I wonder how many liberal amerians were ok with Palistinians dancing in the street after 9-11, by the way.

Anyway, it is not like Obama is a real president anyway. Democrats would vote for whomever Oprah and Jon Stewart told them to vote for. Democrats are all about who makes them feel warm and happy inside. Ok, I am joking in this last sentence.

No, what confuses me is why you missed my answer and HOW you could have missed it.

Uh-uh. It is "dumb" because it sounds mean, not because it is untrue. It is "dumb" because you do not want to believe it.

What is odd is that you have not seen or heard it and YOU are defending it by default.

It is his most famous speech ever. He made many claims about the historic benefit of Islam. Most were long debunked myths like that Islam had a huge impact in medicine and mathematics.

He was clearly motivated by lots of current myths. One popular myth going around is that all of the Muslim world hates us because of what we were doing in Iraq. Obama was clearly, as they say, "kissing ass".

The problem was that he was clueless. You can speak eloquently and get everything wrong.

One thing that JFK got right was that it is not the lie that is the enemy of the truth, it is the myth.

Obama had listened to lots of his Democratic advisors but he did not do his homework. The common myth that the American Left believe is that Islam is a religion of peace and it is the few radicals that want to cause wars and violence.

That is not exactly right. Interpreted literally, Islam is NOT a religion of peace and it are the majority of moderates who are not towing the religion as it was originally intended.

But this truth is too bitter for liberals. It defies one of the cornerstones of their faith. That cornerstone is that people are basically good and if you are good to people, they will be good to you in return.

To support this delusion, liberals like to think of Osama bin Laden as a kind of Hitler. They think this without doing any research. This I find amazing. What exactly do you do in your free time? Have you ever seen any of his interviews? He was a popular guy before 9-11. He was a seemingly calm and pious guy. He just wanted to do Allahs will on earth. There are lots of passages in the Qu'ran that support what he did and thought.

Oh... So you think that an random claim with no source is a answer... Meh, I suppose it is, not a good one mind, but it is.

It is not extremist to burn Obama in effigy.

Not extremist. Stupid though. (Yes, just as stupid when liberals burned Bush in effigy.)

It is not anti-american to burn Obama in effigy.

No, still stupid though.

I wonder how many liberal amerians were ok with Palistinians dancing in the street after 9-11, by the way.

I'm guessing roughly the same as conservative Americans that were ok with Iraqi children getting blown up.

I don't believe it because you have given me no reason to.

Prove it.

It is his most famous speech ever. He made many claims about the historic benefit of Islam. Most were long debunked myths like that Islam had a huge impact in medicine and mathematics.

His most famous speech ever, ever?!?!?!

He was clearly motivated by lots of current myths. One popular myth going around is that all of the Muslim world hates us because of what we were doing in Iraq. Obama was clearly, as they say, "kissing ass".

How so?

The problem was that he was clueless. You can speak eloquently and get everything wrong.

And you can just be wrong.

One thing that JFK got right was that it is not the lie that is the enemy of the truth, it is the myth.

...K.

Obama had listened to lots of his Democratic advisors but he did not do his homework. The common myth that the American Left believe is that Islam is a religion of peace and it is the few radicals that want to cause wars and violence.

Do you know any Muslims?

That is not exactly right. Interpreted literally, Islam is NOT a religion of peace and it are the majority of moderates who are not towing the religion as it was originally intended.

Ah I see you don't.

But this truth is too bitter for liberals. It defies one of the cornerstones of their faith. That cornerstone is that people are basically good and if you are good to people, they will be good to you in return.

What's the cornerstone of the conservative "faith"?

To support this delusion, liberals like to think of Osama bin Laden as a kind of Hitler. They think this without doing any research. This I find amazing. What exactly do you do in your free time?

What the hell are you babbling about?

Still not putting the speech out there huh?

 

[Bill Thompson]

Burring Obama in effigy is free speech.

Are you going to decry that it does not count because it is on foreign soil?
I have to wonder if the people upset that Obama is burned in effigy also cheered the rights of the Dixie chicks when they used "free speech" on foreign soil.

People take politics like fashion. They follow the current trend and do not think for themsleves.

Also burning Obama in effigy is not anti-american.

Schmoosing to theocrats like Obama did, probably IS anti-american.
