Obama talks about Hamas

As violence mounts in Gaza, the president-elect is letting President Bush handle foreign policy. But during the presidential campaign, he made several statements about Hamas.

The letters thread is now closed.

My dear Klyterus,

The previous page has 13 posts from you.

Rail at me for merely three posts in a row?

But truthfully, the posts, there were only two.

My Klyterus, what a silly hypocrite for a foe!

Monday, December 29, 2008 02:48 PM

My dear Klyterus,

The quantity of your verse is exceeded by its vapidity.

@something stinks

Three stinks in a row?

That shit needs to GO.

My dear jimimonroe,

Name a University or College that the Nazis specifically targeted and destroyed by aerial bombardment or other military action as an intentional military target.

Go ahead. Show me where the effing Nazis did that. Go ahead.

When you find an example, then you find your parity.

Parity with Nazis would be a step up for some people.

Israel is protecting her citizens

Israel has every right to protect herself from rockets being fired at them. Obama is right to recognize this. Also, I was under the impression that the food blockades which happened in November occurred because Hamas was attacking. Everything Israel has done is for her own safety. What do you expect her to do? Unfortunately, the Balfour doctrine created an Israeli state. Whether you agree with that or not (I don't) that is the fact and firing rockets at Israel won't make Israel go away.

Damn all of you who didn't vote for a third party candidate.

Damn you to hell.

Four more years of Bush Policies.

You stupid morons.

You damned dirty apes.

Let's celebrate the Holidays with a military attack on an unarmed civilian population.

At least people tried to kill Hitler.

Blowing up a University? On purpose? A military target?

WTF is wrong with people?

If the Palestinians wanted peace

If the Palestinians wanted peace they would work towards it, their history is otherwise.Bill Clinton remembers Arafat's actions.The rockets needs to stop and the realization that Israel exists needs to happen.To claim the Israelli response is "disproportionate" to the daily rocket attacks is like a boxer to claim that he only threw a jab at his opponent and it wasn't fair a right cross was thrown in response to knock him out. You stand up to bullies but you don't pick fights with them and then cry foul.Shipments have been stopped into Palestine to stop the arms coming in, but still the pipeline of rockets and weapons come in from Syria and Egypt.Who profits from the lack of peace there?They need to be ID'd and dealt with because every time there is talk of peace they start aggression again and then protests the evil Israelli response and stir the pot of discontent and hate.How could Obama claim to be american if he didn't agree with the Bush position with regards to this issue?

So in conclusion dear readers

Klytus leaves you to your own

If you'd care to add more gas to fire

Then yes indeed

God speed

Thanks Klytus

This concludes the "intelligent discussion" portion of the program.

Stay tuned for the "rhyming program" which never seems to stop, right here on Salon.

What a crazy world we live in.

You're talking a lot, but you're not sayin anything.

OH YEAH...HERE WE GO

...if someone was doing this or that to my two daughters...if someone did this or that to my house...if someone did this or that to my car - boat - RV - garage (pick one!)...

Yep. The Obama-Rama Foreign Policy by Empathy project. Coming to a state department near you. Yeah, Clinton will have fun diciphering those kinds of sappy statements made by the Boy Wonder, and placing them in coherent communicative messages, won't she?

What's our policy again on this mess?

Is this the best Obama can do? I'm afraid it really is.

Klytus! Go back and read some of these previous posts!

You idiot!

You will find OTHER posts saying "Death to Israel" At no time have I EVER said death to Israel, Not now and certainly not in my previous post. You are braindead if you believe my post said anything like that.

Moron.

Your response just validates my belief. Pull your head out of your ass.

Monday, December 29, 2008 08:22 AM

@Klytus

That is I do believe the words most nice

You've e'er written to me (and in a trice!)

(Yeah. I suck at apoetry. But it is a true couplet).

Monday, December 29, 2008 08:15 AM

I think your intelligent understanding

Just took a radical turn south

"Death to Israel"

Are the ugly words

That just escaped YOUR mouth.

Monday, December 29, 2008 08:11 AM

Intelligent discussion?

Are you serious?

Death to Israel? Death to the residents of Gaza? Where has there been any intelligent discussion in most of these posts? Psycho posts and psycho responses.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Monday, December 29, 2008 07:57 AM

Hey

You try and kickstart an intelligent discussion...

Monday, December 29, 2008 07:53 AM

It's no wonder this world is so fucked up.

Posters here have called for the extermination of both sides of this clash and through out all these exchanges you have a person who can only write like a Dr. Suess character.

What a fucking twisted reality this world has settled into.

Here comes another Klytus "Cat in the Hat" response.
