Actually, it’s “radical Islamic terrorism”. Get your idiotic talking points right or you’ll lose credibility.
I think this is a gross mischaracterization of what I said. I have NEVER said that the attack on the Marine barracks “was not noteworthy”. If you inferred it from something I posted, could you explain where so I can correct the record?
What’s a Muslim sympathizer, exactly? Someone who respects the rights and humanity of Muslims?
You realize you just equated Islam with National Socialism, right?
And do you know who the Supreme Allied Commander for Europe was? Dwight Eisenhower, who was of German descent and had a German name. But then, we were at war with Germany, not German-ness, so it didn’t matter, did it?
Well … they do both really dislike Jews.
Disclaimer: for the record, I don’t think there are all that many similarities between Nazis and Muslims. And I generally dislike how often “Godwin’s rule” is demonstrated to be correct.
What’s a “Muslim sympathizer”? Is that someone who doesn’t hate Muslims? If so, then that describes more than half of the US.
But I still want to hear your opinions on the Jews. And are you worried about white genocide?
You’re saying that “Muslims”, a group of 1.6 billion people, “really dislike Jews” and are comparable in this way to Nazis?
It was a joke. I thought the disclaimer made that clear.
Okay. I didn’t get it.
That’s our secret, Grey. We’re always batshit insane.
Beirut, Lebanon, October 23, 1983, a suicide bomber drove a truck laden with the equivalent of twenty-one thousand pounds of TNT into the heart of a U.S. Marine compound, killing two hundred and forty-one servicemen. Later an additional thirteen died. Total 254 on a peace-keeping mission.
“Six months earlier, militants had bombed the U.S. embassy in Beirut, too, killing sixty-three more people, including seventeen Americans. Among the dead were seven C.I.A. officers, including the agency’s top analyst in the Middle East, an immensely valuable intelligence asset, and the Beirut station chief.”
March of 84, CIA station chief was kidnapped and later tortured to death after an attack on a US mission in Beirut.
Sept. 84, terrorists bombed the US embassy annex in Beirut.
“President Reagan acknowledged that the new security precautions that had been advocated by Congress hadn’t yet been implemented at the U.S. embassy annex that had been hit. The problem, the President admitted, was that the repairs hadn’t quite been completed on time. As he put it, “Anyone who’s ever had their kitchen done over knows that it never gets done as soon as you wish it would.” Imagine how Congressman Issa and Fox News would react to a similar explanation from President Obama today.”

Yep, this has been known for a while and we’ve had an aiding and abetting conspiracy media that just wants a story.
I’m a defender of a free press but sometimes I think the press doesn’t deserve the liberty that it enjoys.
So true…but thank goodness, we don’t have to justify our liberty by deserving it.
One of the key principles of liberty is the freedom to misuse it. Freedom of speech necessarily includes drivel, and gossip, urban legends, and conspiracy theories. Freedom of the press necessarily includes celebrity gossip and porn.
The modern press abuses its liberty shamelessly…but, well, that’s liberty for ya!
At a certain point, it starts crossing the line into things closer to libel or slander than gossip and drivel. I don’t think we’ve quite gotten there yet, but there are a few media outlets that certainly do push that line.
Certainly true. I treasure Carol Burnett’s victory over the National Enquirer: freedom of the press is not unlimited.
(1981. Okay, I’m old.)
I guess Hillary and Barack HUSSEIN Obama thought that a cold, limp insincere handshake would suffice for the next of kin of soldiers killed at Benghazi.
It did not !
What soldiers?
Tell us about the Jews. And white genocide. Still waiting to hear from you about that.
Navy draftee, your comments, mostly unsupported insults, appear to be little more than trolling.
Continuing in this manner will result in the loss of posting privileges.
Please refrain from silly diatribes and ludicrous insults.
