This weekend in Montgomery County Maryland a man's townhouse caught fire and he ran outside to flag down the fire truck and save his family. The cops saw him, accused him of setting the fire, being on crack and proceded to handcuff him, throw him to the ground and beat and kick him in the face. Afterwards they took him to the hospital and he was not arrested. This is the same story told by family and neighbors who wittnessed the event.
Now all you nazioid trolls can have a party to celebrate the success of your war on drugs.
The man was black.
Now you can put on your sheets, set up your crosses and set fire to them and start hollering, hooping and shooting rounds off into the sky.
All in all, i think that the Nazis had a much better sense of fashion and style than the current crop of evil stupids. You are morally and ethically indistinguishable. Only your target is different.
Well that is good but what about torture in the good old USA? Why not ban that?
Ban tasings, extra-judicial beatings, killings, druggings and offer up severe penalities for those who practice torture.
If it's good enough for the Taliban and Al Qaeda, what about you and I?
How many more innocent Americans must be brutalized and killed by out of control officers of the law, mercenaries (Blackwater in New Orleans), private security officers and others who think it is ok because they watched it on Fox Television?
"Tortured, humiliated and left to die" that is a quote from a woman who had a son who died in boot camp. ABC News has a story on boot camps and the abuse that happens there.
Got a child that is acting like a teenager? Send them to boot camp for some tough love and it isn't their fault if they happen to die in the process of straightening them out.
According to the report there will be hearings in Washington today.
Abuse, torture, druggings, brainwashing/behavior modification, and death is meted out to our own young people - is there any wonder that we seem to be able to accept what is happening in Iraq, Gitmo and our rendition partners?
Pol Pot slaughtered millions because we pulled out of Vietnam?
The Vietnam War, bringing Cambodia into it, the opium trade, the mass bombings of Cambodia and "incursions" had nothing to do with destabilizing and breaking down the country?
To it's great credit, Vietnam invaded Cambodia and deposed Pol Pot and stopped the killing in 1979. The United States supported Pol Pot in the United Nations when he was slaughtering millions because it was our way of dissing Vietnam.
The United Staes gave 5 million dollars to support the Khemer Rouge efforts in 1985
That wasn't a question, that was a blatant lie masquerading as a question.
I have never seen anyone or heard anyone in a men's public restroom engaging in sex.
I believe that this issue has been blown out of proportion.
Well, at least he isn't a Bush.
Come on, give us something to look up to. Give a a Senator we can be proud of again.
We all know you can do it.
You have the name.
I haven't seen him at any anti-war rallies.
He turned a powerpoint presentation into a hit movie and he was justly rewarded for that with an Oscar.
He may be more "moderate" than Bush on war, but that hardly qualifies him as a cahmpion for peace.
"I believe that we are perfectly capable of staying the course in our war against Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist network, while simultaneously taking those steps necessary to build an international coalition to join us in taking on Saddam Hussein in a timely fashion."
Yes, he thinks he would have done a better and more prudent approach to the war.
He knows who Osama bin Laden was working for and I never recall him saying anything against the effects of our sanctions on Iraq during the Clinton administration or the military strikes.
He wouldn't be the only war toad who got the medal, but really, shouldn't it go to someone who is for peace?
Irony, satire, mockery and sarcasm are lost on psychopaths.
You need some depth to process that and psychopaths are strictly two dimensional catroon figures.
On NBC tonight
Iraqi - our road is out.
Petraeus - what are you going to do about it?

We destroy your country and economy - you fix it.

Why that would be Henry Kissinger.
That invasion and bombings of Cambodia must of wowed them in Stockholm.
You don't expect some noecon troll with a name like "hitlery" to repond?
Dick Nixon? How dare you cast aspersions on the last and greatest liberal to grace the White House? You must be one of these "Neo-Libs" that are alomst indistinguishable from "Neo-Cons".
Name one other president that has an opera written about him?
(MacBird doesn't count)
What Nixon gave, Clinton cast asunder.
What a world, what a world, what a world . . .
How big a lunatic do you have to be, to not see those American flag pins on someone's lapel and not know for certain that they are true patriots who place the interests of America over all else? Well, if you can doubt for one moment the sincerity and honesty of proud Americans who proudly wear a proudly waving American flag pin on their lapel, then maybe you should start asking your doctor if Paxil is right for you.
