Obama picks "American Taliban" lawyer to Justice Dept. -

[24KT]

I think we need more impeachments. 

I agree, ...and they should start with Bush & Cheney. That would make me sooooo happy.
...'sides, I promised Dan-O a blow by blow description when it occurs.

Gut reactions created by Rush Limbaugh? Are you fucking retarded?

nope, ...but you might be. {lol}

My gut reaction as an American and as someone who wants people in positions of political power in this country (especially when it comes to prosecuting terrorists) to be sincere in carrying out their duties

So why the heck are you screaming? That's exactly what you got. How much more sincere in the commission of his duties could he be? Especially when one considers the prevailing climate within the DOJ. Justice exists in many forms my friend.

I feel appointing a lawyer who defended an American traitor who fought with the Taliban ( who should be hung for treason) and murdered an American soldier during a prison break is an absolute joke.

That's why I'm beginning to suspect you may be retarded. {giggle}

Someone with principles willing to stand up for the constitution, and get America back on track to the land it was designed to be, is part of the change America needs. You seem to be advocating that a pass from Regent University, and an almost slavish devotion to narrow, petty,  spiteful, clannishness and secrecy is the only way to make America strong. That's what you've had for years. People who had no principles other than kissing butt and going along to get along, ...and it darned near led you off the edge of a cliff. Now's the time to get it right. It's a time for Hope & Change!

You still didn't address my question either- Would you be OK with a lawyer who defended a KKK member that blew up a black church and murdered black children being appointed by Obama to be head of the justice departments division on civil rights and social justice? How about him being appointed AFTER raising 65 million for Obama's campaign? If that wouldn't bother you ( esp. as a black person) you're either in complete denial or not human.

Whether or not something would bother me is completely irrelevant to whether they are qualified or appropriate.
I am human, ...more so than most around here, if some of these posts are to be considered as any sort of a representative indicator, ...and I'm not in any sort of denial. I don't live my life in black & white, ...infact, it's not even something I notice. I'm sorry I don't fit into your little box. You need to come up with a better analogy. That one completely misses the mark.

Jag you sound like a walking Obama campaign slogan. Instead of skirting the issues and using some relativist argument grounded in idealistic mish mash, why dont you simply answer my question? It's very noble of you to "not live your life in black and white" but why don't you get off your high horse, stop pretending to be a philosophy professor lecturing to a bunch of greasy sandal wearing hippies high on LSD in the middle of wine-country and start acting like someone who lives in the real world? Im not asking you to address my opinions, I am asking for your OPINION- Not your PHILOSOPHY.

What Obama, or his policies even have to do with my question is a total mystery to me. I asked you a very simple question. Please answer-

RP your missing the point. I am not saying Lindh is not entitled to representation. What I am saying is that putting his lawyer in a position of vast political power- namely being the countrys top guy on terror posecution is completely inappropriate.

That's why i think your arguments are a joke. You talk a good talk, but when it comes down to it, ...it's all hypocritical hot air. Pure mental masturbation. The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights, had better be more than mere pieces of paper. They have to be real, living, breathing organisms, that not only reside, but thrive in the hearts & minds of Americans. They must breathe life into the DOJ and inform the policies of the American Justice System. If not, your country turns into the same despotic totalitarian state found in so many banana republics around the world that you and hh6 are so fond of demeaning. Only a man of principles, with balls of steel, and an intimate understanding of what these things are, and how there are to be applied in America and within the very DOJ itself should have such a position of power. Again, what some consider his greatness weakness, when viewed with a more discerning eye, could well infact be one of his greatest assets. Yet, you're advocating the maintainance of an old inneffective and perilous paradigmn of partisanship & sycophancy. Arguing for it to remain on some means of artificial life suffort, nothing more than a empty shell of it's former self, without much chance of it regaining it's former glory or achieving it's potential. Pull the F-ing plug already. You're trying to say... well I reluctantly agree that all accused should have shittyrepresentation, (gotta go through the motions) ...but I reserve the right to segregate those who dare to live out the true meaning of our country's creed to subordinate positions, thwart their careers, and insert a glass ceiling over their heads, purely for the sake of politics. That's just more of the same. Now is the time for Hope & Change.

Dude- again, I do not question representing Lindh at all. But I dont think he is the right person to be appointed to the job. Nuff said. I am not questioning the representation, I am questioning his appointment.

Your entire argument thus far has been based on him not being appropriate because he represented Lindh

I feel appointing a lawyer who defended an American traitor who fought with the Taliban ( who should be hung for treason) and murdered an American soldier during a prison break is an absolute joke.

Thanks for the flattery, ...but it's really not at all noble, ...it's just normal.
I'm truly saddened that you live in a world where normality is mistaken for nobility. 

Oh goodness gracious no. I could never mistake you for a greasy sandal wearing hippie in the middle of wine country.

...someone high on LSD perhaps but hardly a tree hugger.
Too bad, ...there's a lot of joy to be had from hugging trees, ...not to mention planting them.
Did you know I'm an arborculturalist. ... well I am.

Ok. My opinion is that You Are The Weakest Link! Goodbye

Or maybe the fact that he raised 65 million dollars for him?

You wait, ZERO is going to pardon this scum bag.

Liberalism is a mental disorder and posts supporting this further insanity are just more evidence of that.
