Perhaps they could debate which of them is more loyal to AIPAC

and more devoted to the state of Israel.

Which of them would more readily place Israel over the interests of the United States?

Which of them would jump higher for Israel? I'm going with Os^Hbama on this one.

Hillary is evil and no one likes her

Face the facts -- Hillary is actively disliked by most everyone I know. I cannot stand her. Duplicitous, conniving -- there is nothing good to say about her.

Hey Hill, remember back when your husband was President? Would it have killed you to have gotten your hair dyed dark brown and poofed it up and gotten some boob implants? Would it have been too much to hope that you'd have the brains to keep his balls empty?

Hillary Clinton? DO. NOT. WANT.

Not in ANY capacity, not ever. She can go back to her carpetbagging NY Senatorial job and hopefully fade away the way a crushed dead scorpion eventually fades into the asphalt.

McSame will be elected

Nothing will change. Things will get even worse.

Great snakes!

Who'd have thought such a thing?

Is the VP spot not what Joe wanted for breathing life into McSame's flatlining campaign in December?

McSame campaign poster

The perfect image for McSame, the Manchurian Candidate.

Good for them

I'm w kickstarts (above), have GE make all the turbines they can. Wind energy is nothing but good.

I wish we were spending money on alternative energy rather than pissing it away in Iraq.

A wind turbine on every rooftop, and every rooftop made of PV material. It'll pay off by and by.

Handguns require practice

But longarms aren't practical at close quarters.

Did the Framers envision huge numbers of disenfranchised Africa-Americans waiting to die in our long, slow genocidal campaign after they were obsolesced?

Weaponry is not the issue in this instance.

A few billionaires felt threatened

So what if innocents were crushed? Our super-rich needed protection from the awful, awful threat of "Communism".

Think what he'd have been able to accomplish

If only he'd finished college.

Let this be a lesson to you, kids.

McSame? Hypocritical? No! It just couldn't be!

Too bad John McCain isn't one of the estimated 2000 US servicemen still ALIVE AND HELD IN CAPTIVITY in Southeast Asia. Odd how McCain doesn't want any investigation held. Walking K? Never heard the phrase.

How would YOU like to have been left behind in Vietnam? Crippled and enslaved for decades?

Oops, heck, is this the MSM? I thought I was still in the free information part of the Intertron. Scuse me.

How well is nonviolence working?

Let's ask Nancy Pelosi. God forbid any "lone nut"(tm) should lose patience and start taking pot-shots at our national leaders out of a sense of frustration and hopelessness.

What was that JFK quote? Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent something? I forget. It probably doesn't matter.

So should I hang @ Hollywood parties and be really, really spiritual? Will that get the US out of Iraq? Will that put impeachment on the table? Tell me more about this nonviolence thing. It sounds really productive.

Now, be good sheep, and keep inching forwards towards those rotating knives. No violence from you, now, not even a bleat. Patience can be the deadliest of weapons, you know! And it makes you SO MUCH EASIER TO MANAGE.

Is "visualize dead politicans" nonviolent? Are sarcastic political sayings forbidden by the Patriot Act?

A small foreign country with an unnatural, unhealthy grip on the USA

Time to clean house. No kidding. It's that bad. Israel has become a CANCER in the United States. Israel IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY. And a small one at that.

Sixty years later Israel has one of the strongest economies in the world yet sucks up 30% of the US foreign aid budget? Can you not tell when you're being fleeced?

Let me cut right to the chase: Fuck Israel. Israel has NOTHING to do with the USA aside from its parasite-prey relationship. The more you study the history of Zionism the easier it becomes to dare to say out loud that the emperor has no clothes. Israel gives the USA nothing. Yet thanks to Israel's endless evil whispering into the ears of our dumb-as-butter politicians we enjoy a kind of "sister nation" relationship with Israel.

Obama? He's just Bush43 with a darker complexion -- nothing will change. The genocide against the Palestinians will continue. The river of money flowing to Israel will continue.

Oh, and that war Israel is so hot to get the US involved in..? Iran has every right to develop nuclear POWER -- a nuclear ARSENAL, which is what Israel has, requires enormously more refined uranium than a nuclear power program requires.

How is it that Israel has a nuclear arsenal, routine ignores UN sanctions, refuses nuclear inspections -- and still suckles at the money teat of Uncle Sam endlessly?

FUCK Israel and fuck Zionism. Wake up and smell the kreplach, boys and girls. We've been fleeced to the tune of billions and billions of dollars and over four thousand dead US servicemen in a war for Israel. We've become zombified -- to the point where you cannot have a discussion about Israel's evil Senator Palpatine influence over our foreign policy.

Obama? Change? [laughter]

A few more questions for McSame on Viet Nam

How soon did you begin to collaborate with the North Vietnamese? How often were you interviewed by Soviet personnel? How is it that your first six months in North Vietnam as a POW were spent out of sight of your fellow POWs?

How is it you lost five aircraft? Did you touch off the disastrous USS Forrestal fire through horseplay? Were you really at the bottom of your graduating class? Without your father and grandfather's pull, would you ever have become an officer?

Are you as much of a brittle asshole as I think you are?

Another brilliant column

I'm consistently impressed. THIS is what the Intertron was meant to be.

Why don't I read columns of this quality elsewhere? I could not be more impressed nor grateful. Keep up the exemplary work.

McSame learned

whatever his Soviet brainwashers wanted him to learn in Viet Nam.

And now we have a Manchurian candidate ready to do whatever he's told to do. Lovely.

Where's that Queen of Diamonds trigger device?
