He’s talking to you, Michelle. 

This is pretty absurd of Stewart. The Libyan people deserve credit for standing up for themselves. They are the ones that took out Gaddafi.

Obama can’t have it both ways. He never clearly stated the mission in Libya. The French and British took the lead – which is fine by me. But then, Obama can’t get pats on the back when Gaddafi is killed by his own citizens. I’m glad he’s gone, but Obama certainly didn’t do it.

The GOP won’t be happy until they elect another knuckle-dragging, Creationist, Aborto-Freak idiot as President. 

It is always like John to boil it down to oh those idiot publicans. Where was his rhetoric when Bush was still in office? Oh, I forgot, leftists have two brains, one with a first gen operating system and the other a Tiny Core.

Sad thing, Bush and Company were the most leftist, aka statist, Publicans for decades. Heck, he might just as well run as a Dem. Bush and Cheney, used waterboarding……..War Criminals! screamed the leftists.

Obama, assassinates Osama, Hero! Cry the leftists. Obama through 2nd party, 3rd party and CIA assets assassinate Ghaddafi. Hero! Cry the leftists. Obama orders the assassination of a US citizen. Hero! Cry the leftists.

Do you NOT see the duality of your existence? You could watch Obama and Company send guns to a 3rd world country’s drug cartels and make excuses for him, oh WAIT, YOU DID.

Let me give you a link to WHY Obama and Company were sending those guns down to Mexico-

“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on a visit to Mexico, said Wednesday
that America’s inability to prevent weapons being smuggled across the
border is causing the deaths of Mexican police officers, soldiers and

civilians. (Read a full report on Clinton’s visit.)

Now,
the ATF is about to get some reinforcements under an initiative
announced this week by the Obama administration. The money will help
track down who is buying these weapons and from whom.

“We know
for a fact that a lot of the weapons are coming from firearms dealers,”
Golson said. “They’re coming from gun shows and flea markets.” Often, he
says, private collectors are selling their weapons because “they don’t
have the same restrictions.”

Complicating things for ATF agents,
the weapons often change hands before crossing the border. After which
they can fetch a hefty profit”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that has the date of March 6th of 2009. Seems like they knew about this from the beginning. Whodathought!?

Back to the “war criminal”/”peace prize recipient”. If that is not a sure example of cognitive dissonance, can SOMEONE please give me a better example.

Much as I like this segment, I don’t think he was fair on McCain. If you see the full interview of McCain with John King, he did congratulate the Obama administration and gave credit to them, and going onto later say give “greater credit” to British and French allies.

Obama didn’t rush in there Bush-style with 150,000 troops at the cost of $2 trillion and waste 8 years either.

Stewart’s point was Obama’s job was well done.  He built a real coalition and provided support to NATO and let the Libyan people own the mission.

You won’t see Obama prancing around in a flightsuit yelling Mission Accomplished either.

Wonder what history text will label this period in 50 years… His quote might work- but only as a section title.

I love the fact that the Righty asswipes get their licks in all day but Stewart always gets the last word showing them for the fools they are.

Plus he’s hilarious while he does it!

You’re a complet idiot.

Qadaffi said he was going to go ‘house to house’ and kill all the protestors and he had the armor to do it. The US took out the armor to basically ‘level the playing field’.

You willfully ignorant Righties need to pull your heads out of your asses and try a little reality.

Dude, get a life, Just sayin.

Blah blah. Blah blah. Blah blah. Sour grapes. Grumble. Gripe. (Golly. It must be so difficult to be a whiny-con these days. We have a President who has done what he said he would do and all the whiny-cons can do is whine, whine, whine, whine and whine some more. Poor whiny-cons. OBAMA by a landslide in 2012!)

Smiles.

He’s a comedian.

Gitmo?
Lobbyists in HIS administration?
Cutting the deficit?
Get out of the wars?

I could go on, but pray tell, do inform me of the promises he kept? Do not include the promise to redistribute wealth, when he is busy destroying it, you cannot redistribute it. Unless of course you are talking about the devaluation of the dollar and REDISTRIBUTING 21 TRILLION dollars to banks and other countries. You do know about that right?

and since we ARE NATO are hands are all over this except in a perfect “lead from behind” way.. Our intel, our missiles, our air craft carriers, our planes, our strategic planning… The French and british can go do a victory breakdance for all I care.. I really don’t care who gets the “credit”.. Any rational human being knows this was an A++++ American foreign policy mission… The only way to make it more perfect is to recoup our billion dollars we spent back from the 30+ billion of their money we currently control and have frozen…

They all got the same FOX memo from Bill Sammon.  

Well, if you remember correctly and I do, Obama said he was going to “close gitmo,” “end the wars,” bring our troops home,” “stop the wiretapping,” “lower unemployment,” etc, etc. Doesn’t mean he meant he was going to do it.

But then you righties would be mad that he kept those promises.  

oh and i forgot to mention with NATOs help the libyans themselves were the ones that fired the kill shot.. All in all a beautifully executed mission..

you are exactly the same as the lefts that you criticise. I ask you the same question do YOU not see the duality of your existence? I see the hypocrisy on both sides. You see it on one side and criticise the other side for not seeing it on your side but when the opportunity presents itself like right now you can’t admit that obamas foreign policy has succeeded in this situation. admit it and move on. 

You’ve used “sour grapes” like 36 times today. We heard ya.

But then the righties would be upset that he kept his promises.  By the way he is getting out of Iraq all together.  

Are you talking about the Fed in 2008?  Anyway you’re still off by trillions of dollars.  

You need to find credible sources.

Blah blah blah I’m not listening to you!

You moron. Obama and Nato gave the rebellion the opportunity to win. You ideological jackass.

This from the guy that went after Bush when they got Saddam. These left wings nuts are hypocrites. Plus who the hell cares what this idiot says?

Stewart would never deliberately mislead his audience like that! 
He is unbiased and his motives are as pure as the driven snow!

but on the subject at hand, david?

let’s keep it on topic, please

“This from the guy that went after Bush when they got Saddam.”

Well, to be fair, Obama didn’t go after Gaddafi as a Christmas present for his dad.

“This from the guy that went after Bush when they got Saddam.”

Well, to be fair, Obama didn’t go after Gaddafi as a Christmas present for his dad.

The mission was to catch him, parade him around then shoot him in the back?

 LOL!

Obama closing Gitmo?
Here is the Executive Order for the Closure of Gitmo, in its entirety, issued on the 2ND DAY of Obama Administration.

“EXECUTIVE ORDER — REVIEW AND DISPOSITION OF INDIVIDUALS DETAINED AT
THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY NAVAL BASE AND CLOSURE OF DETENTION FACILITIES
     By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to
effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by
the Department of Defense at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base (Guantánamo)
and promptly to close detention facilities at Guantánamo, consistent
with the national security and foreign policy interests of the
United States and the interests of justice, I hereby order as follows:

BARACK OBAMA”That Gitmo was not closed was because of CONGRESS.–Cobra

THE WHITE HOUSE,

    January 22, 2009.

On the comedy channel.

More sour grapes =P

why don’t you address the issue instead of diverting. 
I care what he says because i find him funny, when he goes after democrats and repubs, i like it. He shows how full of sh!t both sides are. You don’t find him funny because he attacks the right and is like a mirror always reflecting back the hypocrisy and lies of partisan hacks!

the mission was to prevent the Libyans from being raped and slaughtered.. to provide intel, strategic, and air support .. To give the people of Libya  a fighting chance in their revolution against an evil dictator..An evil dictator who I remind you was a terrorist to the United States..  What the people of Libya did to him in his final minutes was up to the people of Libya.

Foreign policy? Good, I hope in the future some country helps in the assassination of our President and you will stand there and say? derrrrrrr

Meddling in internal conflicts of other nations where there is NO US interests is just your typical Orwellian nightmare, but I guess you do not understand that do you? Maybe one of the countries like Pakistan will begin funding and implementing assassination and takeover attempts here in the US.

Leftists, aka statists are all a bunch of idiots. These countries are NOT states within the US or the EU. They are internal conflicts. You DO understand the definition of SOVEREIGN NATION do you not? Let the peoples of the nations step in and do what is necessary. That is how our country began and became the greatest nation on earth.

WOULDN’T want that to happen again would we? “You can lead an idiot to the tree of knowledge, but with no common sense, they cannot reach the first branch.”

Freedom and tyranny is a fine line, who is going to make sure stability and freedom is the end result? The US or the EU? This is NOT a one world government yet there buddy.

Congratz to the French and British for stepping up to the plate, when Obama was sitting on his arse trying to figure out what to do…  Finally, after being emarrassed, our idiot President hopped on board and led from behind…  Obama (Jimmy Carter Light) is simply the worst President.. EVER!!!  No clue about the economy and no clue about foreign policy either…  I do applaud him for following the Bush policies (that he was always AGAINST) when we got Bin Laden, and I applaud him for letting his military commanders and the CIA DO THEIR JOB in getting the other many terorists we’ve killed…  But Obama needs some sort of bounce with our economy in shambles, so of course the libtard media will make this look like Obama went in there and killed Qaddafi himself, LOL!!!! 

redstate human feces gop trash kate,

The Libyan people deserve credit for standing up for themselves. They are the ones that took out Gaddafi.

Col Gaddafi killed: convoy bombed by drone flown by pilot in Las VegasCol Muammar Gaddafi’s convoy was bombed by an American Predator drone and then attacked by French jets before the deposed dictator was killed by rebel fighters.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8839964/Col-Gaddafi-killed-convoy-bombed-by-drone-flown-by-pilot-in-Las-Vegas.html

An American drone and an array of Nato eavesdropping aircraft had been trained on his Sirte stronghold to ensure he could not escape.

The Predator drone, flown out of Sicily and controlled via satellite from a base outside Las Vegas, struck the convoy with a number of Hellfire anti-tank missiles. Moments later French jets, most likely Rafales, swept in, targeting the vehicles with 500lb Paveway bombs or highly accurate £600,000 AASM munitions.

President Obama deserves all the credit for backing the people of Libya, no matter how much the traitors on the right push their agenda of seething hate and psycotic lynching of the president.

Bravo President and 4 more years!

Yeah, and he let the people of the country try him in a court of law, how sooooooooooo typically evil! He should of just assassinated him or something. By the way, wasn’t Iraq like guilty of attacking another sovereign nation or something? I mean, Ghaddafi was no prize, but what EXACTLY was our motivating factor? Did the US government want another unstable country over there or something?

But you loons called Bush a war criminal for going after Osama and cheered when Obama “killed” him. He and his sons raped and slaughtered more people than g-daf did. See where I’m going?

Correction, I meant Hussein and his sons.

hmmmm ceeza’s post sound familiar.  Was it perchance what everyone was saying about Sadam?

Ahh shucks – wrong guy, bad guy did that so we couldn’t cheer.  

you guys only became concerned about statism on jan. 20th, 2009

the Obaminator!     

He never clearly stated the mission? Lol. That’s because people don’t like it these days when the American President says the leader of another sovereign country is on the Capture Or Kill (Preferably Kill) list. Did you really not know what the endgame was?

Does the DNC pay Stewart’s salary? Every day its just another Republican attack skit on his show. How about the hypocrisy of the dems/left Jon? How about attacking a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, was no imminent threat to us, who actually turned in their WMD;s after we attacked Iraq. How about killing an ALIVE Gaddafi in cold blood on video, no trial nothing. All of a sudden now that there is a D in the WHite House all this killing is fine. Hypocrite liberals.

Memo to wake up
Political satire…………………….Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He frames things in such a way that make certain people bleed from their eyes or……………makes their heads explode, or………………….. then they call him names.

1) That’s a pretty important correction.
2) No one ever thought Hussein was a benevolent dictator, but you have no concept of nuance or context, do you?
3) Not for nothing, unlike Hussein, Gaddafi actually attacked the US in the past.

Republicans – party and discredited ideology  before country and the common good.

Republicans – party and discredited ideology  before country and the common good.

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the term “progressive.”

We didn’t have any motivation. This does nothing positive for anyone.

I guess my invitation to Stewie’s post Saddam party must have gotten lost in the mail.

Stewart… what the f-ck is wrong with you?

ok apart from your arrogant and patronising reply i agree with a lot of that. However, the US gets criticised around the world because the only reason they do meddle in other countries affairs is to suit their own interests. Now maybe in this situation they did it to help people as you said yourself ‘NO US interests’. The people would not have succeeded without NATO or US help. You’re right however, there is a fine line between tyranny and freedom. In a perfect world i agree with you 100%. I have asked the question why just go after gadaffi and middle east countries when there are thousands and millions of people dying in Africa from dictators, rebels and poverty etc. I think if this had to happen in libya it was the best way to go about it, instead of a 10 year plus long war.  

That wasn’t 21 trillion!!   A lot of this is Tarp assets that was distributed before Obama became president.  No, FOX is rotting your brain with consistent inaccuracies time after time.  I feel much fear in you, young one.  

You mean that kangaroo court trial where Hussein’s defense attorneys kept getting killed by insurgents? Yeah, that was a civilized affair. 
If they’d sent him to the Hague, that would be one thing, but otherwise Republicans have no room to talk.

Obama got a 2% point bounce when Osama was killed. This will do nothing for him… as it should not.

Remember.. He’s NOT an activist.. CLOWN NOSE ON!!!

Do people not understand the difference between intervention and war? This was an intervention where we spent money aiding a rebel group, which has been quite common in the last 30 years of American history. This was a step up where we lent bombs on top of weapons. To compare another intervention to a full on war is intellectually dishonest. Our government deserves credit for successfully intervening, and so do the Libya people for actually fighting and toppling their government. And in fact the Libya still faces a lot of adversities in establishing a functioning and democratic government recognized by the various forces and factions in the state. 

republicans choosing the side, once again, of a dictator who murdered americans. 

not a big surprise.

Yeah Obama got Osama and Qaddafi but Hitler was a liberal atheist vegetarian and Pol Pot was a progressive

WAAAAAAMBULANCE!

Actually very correct. Except for one thing we have been aiding interventions for our entire history. I urge  anyone interested in this subject to read The Savage Wars of Peace by Max Boot.

Now now now….no need to get your teabag caught all up in a bunch.

Let’s let history decide which was more successful…
An 8 year war started on false pretenses with over 40,000 American casualties which ended with the show trial and execution of a dictator by a puppet government…

or a 6 month military action with no American casualties that ended with the execution of a dictator by the people.

It certainly is an odd phenomenon, what’s happened to the anti-war, anti-imperialist, anti-big-bad-America-doing-nasty-things-like-throwing-around-our-ill-gotten-power-again-and-causing-chaos-around-the-world-don’t-those-war-monger-military-industrial-complex-party-co-opted-war-criminals-in-Washington-know-it-never-works-out-for-us-in-the-end-and-by-what-right-do-we-have-anyway-to-impose-our-will-on-a-foreign-soveriegn-nation-and-mess-around-with-countries-that-never-attacked-us-to-begin-with crowd lately – but I predict it’ll all go back to normal Jan 20th, 2013.

What we see here goes a long way to explain this.  Like the hypocrite in chief he is, Stewart leads them not in realistic reflection of where this event fits into the larger landscape of American culture, but for his last 3 minutes in Republican/Fox bashing.  It makes his audience comfortable, for that’s the only way they know how to digest the news these days.  Good thing Mediaite makes that the focus, too, as they do every time Stewart uses something as an excuse to bash the right (a frequent occurrence), that we may all yell at each other our partisan loyalties.

The big thing about this latest whining of the left, though, over how they deem our reaction not sufficiently full throated enough (and, more importantly, sufficiently deferential to the great leader) for their tastes, is that they won’t ever notice the total difference with which we express ourselves in ‘dissent’ – in that we on the right will note all the possible turmoil that may result from this latest world changer (and already have – with his ouster already accomplished, Qaddafi’s death changes little), we’ll chuckle at their base hypocrisy, but that very few of us will pass fevered blog posts back and forth to each other until we drive ourselves insane with conspiracy minded drivel only to end up years later marching in the streets like crazed idiots.   One thing we certainly won’t do is attempt to portray a possible outcome with good results into a demeaning loss, for our interest ultimately lies with the success of the country.  The vast majority on the right will be… “Ok.  So, Qaddafi’s dead.  Next issue.”

Easy to get confused. That was Saddam Hussein with the sons and the rape etc. You guys never could keep straight who you’re supposed to be insanely angry at to the point of spending what’s now being estimated by Noble prize winning economist Joe Stiglitz as closing in on 5 TRILLION dollars on that little boo-boo (I am of course leaving out the estimated Iraqi death toll of between 200,000 and 900,000 directly and indirectly attributable to the invasion and destruction of Iraqi infrastructure — you guys really must hate infrastructure.

And to think, if Bush hadn’t called off the mission in Tora Bora where U.S. troops had Usama bin Laden pinned down in a cave, hey, the whole thing could have been avoided. Plus the US would now be in a hole that’d be 5 trillon shallower and we wouldn’t be having to fire teachers and cops to keep the rich in their fourth back-up chauffeur driven luxury stretch Hummers and from having to break a C note to get their cigars lit. 

Of course, if they had nailed bin Laden then, it might of made the pointless of invasion of Iraq a little harder to sell. Man, if you want to want to know why this country deserves to feels like it’s burning in hell right now, there’s your answer. We let Bush turn us into Germany circa 1938, and you know that never works out well.

Meaning no apologies, of course; because, America – F**k Ya! Greatest nation on the face of the earth in the history of universe ever, you betcha.

(On the other hand – how long did The American People figure they could get away with this bull shit before some crazy mystic decided to declare jihad on our asses and get us to destroy our economy and everything and everyone in it? Talkin’ about some humongous mofo chickens comin’ home to roost on our heads. Ya, we bad ….. really, as a nation, for decades and decades now, we’ve been very bad.)

“Did the US government want another unstable country over there or something?”

lol…the teabagger wish list….

1 – All military action and foreign policy by Obama will blow up in his face

2 – The economy will get worse under this administration

3 – There will be another massive terrorist attack on Obama’s watch.

In short, you are all a bunch of scumbag, anti-American traitors.

That’s okay Marco Rubio.  Just spout your hate and lies about our president.
Thank heavens the Tea Party is going after YOU as you embellished your bio and that isn’t a good thing now is it.  Orly Taitz is really going after you now.  She says you were born in Cuba and that makes you un presidential for the future.  Whew.  Now you Marco have been the annointed one by Miss Taitz.  Good luck.   NOT.

Repubs absolutely love being un American.

Or how the executioner mocked Hussein as he put the noose around his neck?

A great day for freedom!

And you, deserve the hate award.

Blah, blah, blah,  Hate and lies coming from another Republican.   Snooze.   Lies will get you nowhere.

Too bad, you repubs are having a bad day and your attitudes are showing.  That’s right. showing.

You had no problem with Bush and other Republican presidents assassinating foreign leaders.  

yeah you have it all figured out if only i could see things through conservative eyes i would finally see the light. It would solve all the worlds problems, oh how the mean liberal left media have deceived me. 

This is a perfect example of what Jon Stewart was making fun of. Hilarious.

Keep it up.  Coming from the party of do nothings this is what to expect.  Ho hum.  Un Americans.
People who do not respect our president of the US are., well, I can’t say here.

Yeah… and when he tried to close Gitmo Republicans got in his way, when he tried to bring the troops home, Republicans said we should listen to the commanders in the field, so Obama adopted the same strategy, putting his withdrawl on-hold, FOR REPUBLICANS. Illegal wiretapping US citizens is still happening because Bush started it, now it’s become procedure and once you open a door like that it’s really hard to close it, Obama can’t strongarm the congress and do whatever he wants, as much as your side would like to fantasize he does. Lower unemployment? Tea Partiers are asking people not to hire to make Obama look bad:

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/politics/2012-election/tea-party-nation-business-owners-do-not-hire-single-person

They don’t care about our country and they trick you into thinking democrats failed on measures that actually Republicans obstructed. You’re being conned, and maybe Democrats are too, to a degree, but you are being conned so much more. 

Neocon alert!

The American Right: We’ll Side With Terrorists If Our Political Adversary Killed Them…

Sequel to: We Think Radiation Is Awesome Since We’re For Nuclear Power!!!!

Grow up folks.

“Let the peoples of the nations step in and do what is necessary. That is how our country began and became the greatest nation on earth.”

So…, you think the people of the U.S. fought against dictatorship all on their own? They didn’t have any help, say like Libya had from France?  

See this video and find out for yourself:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/john-mccain-congratulates-obama-the-fact-is-this-is-another-success-for-the-administration/

“How about attacking a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, was no imminent threat to us, who actually turned in their WMD;s after we attacked Iraq.”

How about the stated purpose of the mission had nothing to do with 9/11, an imminent threat to us, or WMD’s, unlike the deceptive reasons used to go to war with Iraq?

How about this was all done at a slight fraction of the cost of the war in Iraq?

How about we contrast the American casualty ratio between Libya and Iraq?

How about this war was started by the people of Libya who asked for assistance, as oppossed to how we started the war and Iraq and once all lies were exposed fell back on saying we did it for the Iraqi people?

How about how the people of Italy executed Mussolini in cold blood, no trial or anything? 

How about how the right was quick to assign all the blame to President Obama when they thought this would turn into his Iraq and blow up in his face?

How about if this President had an “R” to go with his title, you wouldn’t be straining yourself to post such comments?  

Nice to see newly crowned fabulist Marco Rubio get his nonsense in.

Darla, you do not know me!

For your info, I am walking the fine line with the feds. Been that way for DECADES. By the way, nice assumption, the first three letters anyway.

Do you NOT think that just MAYBE, Bush might have been a little right?

Here is the problem though with that mentality. You CANNOT free a country by taking out their government problem, they have to do it THEMSELVES. Yes, it was kinda like that, but exactly how are you describing where Iraq went into another Sovereign Nation and where a Dictator like Ghaddafi only ruled in his own country? They are not apples and oranges, they are apples and plutonium 232.

We as a nation cannot continue on our guise of nation building and policing, we are becoming the tyrant and provocateur that people like Chavez, Jung Il and others use to vilify. We have to do it old school like during the cold war, spread info about freedom and individual liberty, not control and democracy. Democracy is MOB rule. The ONLY reason the US has lasted as long as it has, is individual rights and freedoms. You remove that, and you might just as well live in NK.

Oh REALLY, you must know me or something right?

Heck, I have only had a internet presence since the construction industry took a dive. I saw it coming before it happened due to being in the industry at the management level. Not part of the land development but the implementation. When you see the projects you built sit there for a couple years, you say hmmmmmmmmmm.

Bush, McCain and even some Dems tried to stop the balloon, but let us take a look at the few at the epicenter shall we? When did the derivatives on mortgages appear? Did they begin about 10 or 15 years ago or were they more recent? Why were the derivatives necessary? Is it REALLY a bad thing that housing and property values dropped? Who does it hurt if property values drop? If property values drop, do the government entities that base their income on those values take a hit?

Just a couple questions there for you little Yoda. Now, one last question.

The states that DO NOT USE property taxation, are they hurting right now or not?

Yeah the US had help, through TRADE! Do you think the Libyans are going to give us money for the help we proffered?

Do you think when the French helped the US in the Revolutionary war, we did not PAY THEM?

You folks that attempt to use historical reference, should REALLY know history before sticking that foot there.

I call that situational awareness, or in construction terms, what is the next project. Good breakdown.

 Do you have something to add or are you just here to bloviate? By the way firefox, add that to your dictionary. Geez, do I have to update every software I get?

 Sorry, did I hit a NERVE on the TRUTH?

 WOW, an EXECUTIVE ORDER.

Thanks Cobra, you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo right or wrong, I forget the verbiage sometimes. Soooooooooo, Gitmo is closed now right? There are NOT ships or countries we ship these illegal combatants to? Hmmmm?

By the way, how much MONEY did Obama get when he declared a NATIONAL EMERGENCY on the swine flu “pandemic” that NEVER materialized? You do know about that do you not? Here is a write up about that-

 Come on Big fracking deal, you can do better than to avoid the question can’t you?

I notice you dipped into the bag of ad homs to address me, is THAT all you got?

Why not accuse me of wanting women to be raped, that is your avatar’s current rhetoric right?

You must mean the Marco Rubio who lied and said his family came here because of the tyranny of Fidel Castro only to find out his family came here in 56′ while Castro was in Mexico before he even came to power in Cuba.

Yoda, who the HECK liked your comment? Tarp was what? 800 billion, not the 11 TRILLION as posted on the CNN article. So what was your point again?

LOL, not enough! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxmpTMGhU0

something to add? you mean something of substance? Well substance can be subjective. Because I’m sure if i changed what i said from conservative to liberal you would be in agreement with my sarcasm and be telling me how great my level of wit is. 
See for the most part i was in agreement with you before, but as soon as i sarcastically criticise the right there you are sticking up for your right wing pals. That’s fine, just don’t expect me to take you seriously when you come off as such a partisan hack! 
Too much bloviating for you?       

This is a perfect example of how John Stewart edits clips and presents non-truths.

McCain Congratulates Obama: This Is Another Success For The Administration

On Thursday’s edition of John King USA on CNN, Senator John McCain graciously congratulated President Obama for the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. “The fact is this is another success for the Obama administration,” McCain acknowledged.

“I’d like to congratulate the Administration, they helped out enormously. I think they deserve great credit.” McCain said.

This is what Stewart does. Always.

There you go princess.

LOL…slamming statism and applauding Bush in the very same post. Cognitive dissonance or are you as vacuous as you seem?

Spoken by the resident sophomoric bloviator.

Idiot dishonest Stewart conveniently chopped off the part of McCain’s statement where he praised Obama. And, given that blatantly dishonest bit of editing, I’m just going to go ahead and assume that the other two men did as well. 

Fixed News is a comedy channel, too.

Guns don’t kill people – people kill people. You gun control idiots are so stupid.

They aren’t really that ignorant, just incredible hypocrites.  They are well trained by Fox News to twist the facts around to suit them.  Also, they are very loud and rude, I guess they think that’s how you go up against the truth.

No, it means he was going to try to do that, until the Republicans forgot the interests of the country and decided to oppose everything he suggested.

Is it a pre-requisite for you hardline righties to change the subject every time you’re backed into a corner?  What an idiot.

I believe the basic principle is that being loud and rude works at restaurants and Wal-Mart, so let’s apply it to the government.

I think the concept is that being loud and rude gets results.  For example:  when you’re on the phone with customer service, at a restaurant, or at the local Wal-Mart returns counter.  Why not apply it to government and your fellow American?

Operating systems and processing cores are two entirely separate things.  OS = software / Core = hardware.

Get yourself an education before spouting off on unintelligible garbage.

Go, Freedom Fighter, Go! 
Seek out the Truth for Life, Liberty, and the American Way, you patriot.  I salute you.

Well, it doesn’t surprise me that you forget the verbiage, but that’s okay.  No one said you had to have a functioning brain to spout off right-wing talking points for Rush.  In fact, I believe El Rushbo prefers that you barely know how to tie your shoes and avoid getting hit by traffic to join his ranks.

Keep changing the subject.  As the old saying goes, “even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually.”

Nice try.  The “other two men” most decidedly did not praise the President.

Pot, meet kettle.

Again, pot, meet kettle.

What you people don’t seem to get here is that, unlike the puppets on FOX, Stewart is a comedian who works for The Comedy Network.  I know it’s difficult to differentiate.  Sometimes when I watch FOX I have to check to make sure it’s not The Onion.  They’re that much alike.  Stewart cut the piece for comedic effect.  Believe me, he knew that McCain praised the President.  Everyone did.  It was that shocking.  McCain gave the President praise!

They lost one of their biggest donors.

They’re rather the we go into a country for no real reason, like Iraq, based on lies and conjecture.  No weapons of mass destruction found?  No worry.  Saddam was a BAD MAN.  But wait.  Wasn’t Gaddafi a bad man?  Were we wrong to intervene?  Libya has oil too Repubs.  And we spent for less money in Libya for the intervention that we have in Iraq.  You all LOVED the idea of going into Iraq, knowing full well that Saddam had no involvement in 9/11,  so what’s different here? Oh.  Right.  It begins with an O.  It’s like Sesame Street.  O-bama.  Obama.

Obama didn’t want the leadership role in Libya, so why do his supporters want him to receive full credit? France and England led, they should get their due credit, no?

Curious, did anyone on the Left give Bush credit for taking out the evil dictator in Iraq?

Turns out Hitler was not a vegetarian by choice. Doctor’s orders. German sausages and such disagreed with his stomach.

Fact: For the community organizer to wear a military
flight suit would be hypocritical seeing he avoided service at all cost! Plus the captain of the aircraft carrier Bush landed on put the sign up himself and Bush had no knowledge of the sign ahead of time BOZO!

This guy was evil to the core.  But if anyone can watch that video and be proud that this country is spiking the ball, well, it’s disturbing.  We can’t waterboard or play loud music but we condone and celebrate what came down to murder. Killing him in battle is one thing.  Finding him alive and doing what they did is creepy.  Don’t forget folks, these are the same folks who kill americans and drag them through the streets.  We can’t have it both ways.

Even though OBAMO will demand credit for killing Muammar Gaddafi, real credit must go to the Boston Bruins and the New York Yankees.

The French always thought of that part of the Mediterranean as their turf–all the way from Morocco to Libya. The Brits claimed the rest. This is like our Monroe Doctrine, where we told the rest of the world not to mess with South and Central America.

I care. I like to laugh.

Fact: The idot aveii says;

 3) Not for nothing, unlike Hussein, Gaddafi actually attacked the US in the past.                        

Both have attacked American solders and civilans!

Fact:

  GrafX7 hours ago in reply to redstatekate You’re a complet idio

Next time one talks of ignorant put heads out asses one should learn English is fundamental. But hey you are the complet….. one!

Technically, guns do kill people.

Interesting. There was a point where McCain said the French and British deserve more credit. It was sandwiched between gracious statements about the Obama administration’s success.

But, what I appreciated was McCain’s HINT that the people on the ground doing the coordination with the people in the air “weren’t always Libyans.” In other words, there were Special Operations personnel on the ground, and some of them were probably US Special Forces. You don’t say they are there when they are there, and you almost never say they were there after they are gone. So, just a hint from a guy who would know.  It also mean that some  the guys on the ground were British S.A.S. and/or French COS.

this is connected with what?

You must be incredibly dim. You’re not understanding at all. This was a joint effort working with the Libyan resistance. NATO took the lead, but if the US hadn’t put its weight behind this venture, it would have floundered or failed. American predators located the convoy that included Gaddafi. The French were on the ground and the Libyans took him out. It was a perfect partnership and Obama deserves a reasonable amount of credit for it. 

Why are all you Republicans — McCain and Romney excepted — being such douches about that? Just grow up and quite your whining.

Fact: The reaction of Kaddafi death was the correct
one. Republicans are glad he is deceased but just stated that he should have
been allot more cost effective if Obama would have maximum effort earlier would
have ended it earlier at less cost!

Yeah that’s just one step away from someone who may or may not have been in the national guard

Fact: In response to Censure’s first post on Mediaite, just4thefax responded, “Fact: You are a looser.”

“This from the guy that went after Bush when they got Saddam.”

Uh, what does that even mean? 

Fact: I’m missing out at why the comedy network is comedy when it’s political effects on the lefties on this site take it’s views as facts on any political subject!

Was it unamerican when Democrats were declaring defeat in Iraq? Jon Stewart had no problem with that. 

Good one.

Fact: The demarodent way. This war on Libyan soil is
the first time ever that America hasn’t shown any compassion in letting any
enemies live as a prisoner instead here we just kill them all, no matter what or
even when they beg for forgiveness! Take no prisoners just kill them all! Obama
the true crusader!

Fact: I can’t spell, my syntax is gibberish, my thoughts are mangled and avatar is just plain creepy — a lot like me!

Nice try Kramer. Did I say, somewhere in my post, that the help was not through trade or some other means? When you have no argument your only recourse is to set up a straw man argument you can argue against.

I think there was room for a “mouthing-breathing,” too, or even a “snake-handling.”

You are an idiot and so is everyone that thinks like you. Republicans first, Americans second.

That’s right! Another Republican lying turd.

McCain gave two interviews, one in which he ignored the president. It’s unfortunate that they missed the second interview, but The Daily Show is taped in the mid-to-late afternoon, most likely before it was available or could be incorporated.

I’d swear that said “mouth-breathing” when I wrote it.

As I noted elsewhere, The Daily Show is taped in the mid-to-late afternoon, apparently before that second video of him correcting the record was known or could be included.

And what ever happened to International A.N.S.W.E.R.? Either they’ve disbanded or the media has stopped covering their antics.

It seems Obama is the likely winner of the MVP award in the National League also… And little John Leibowitz throw a hissy fit again.. What a crap eater he is

I remember Jon’s similar frustrations when democrats weren’t too happy about the capture and killing of Hussein, or the capture of KSM, and all the other terror leaders when Bush was President…….oh wait a minute, the media joined the democrats in criticizing Bush for any/all things related to Iraq, Afghan, WOT, etc.

Oh well….maybe one day this board will actually write an article about how one-sided and biased Jon is, and then again, probably not.

Fact: B_F_D always has the slime in the ice machine view of the world and has a hard time with his liberal talking points since he has a hard time typing with those balls resting on his chin!

Good God, people!  Can we all just peacefully agree that we will NEVER agree?!?  Why don’t we all just meet up somewhere, split the country down the middle, flip a coin to see which “side” takes which side, and then go our separate ways?

The left can do what they want (Big Government, entitlement, higher taxes, green jobs, foreign policies) and the right can what they want (smaller government, lower corporate taxes, drilling for oil, standing with or against foreign entities)  As for social platforms, which is what I REALLY think divides this country, then take your pick.  Personally, I was a liberal in my youth and a conservative now based solely on looking at a simple budget and saying “we can’t keep spending more than we make”.  Economics 101.  I know that means cutting aid, affecting entitlement programs, forcing people to actually (GASP) WORK for a living, etc.

There’s no way this country will ever succeed together anymore.  We’re too big and too divided.  We can deal with each other fine, and have our own programs and agendas as 2 separate entities.  Doesn’t this make the most sense?!?  Imagine what we can both do with all the time we’d save NOT arguing on message boards about the “facts” and who’s right and wrong?

Fact: I agree MSMBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, TNT, NBC are all
fixed comedy news!!!!! That’s why we all have FOX News since its fair and
balanced for all to watch and come up with our own conclusions since both sides
are given!!!!

Are you retarded?

Fact: ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz…………………………….

Hey Texan. Top of the mornin’ to you. Did you have your oatmeal? Did someone shit in it? Because you’re definitely full of shit. I don’t know if its worth it, but you can simply go to politifact.com and get facts rather than OPINION. A distinction that cannot be made in the conservative brain (an oxymoron if there ever was one). Here’s a quick run down of their rulungs (oh and they won a Pulitzer for their fact checking accuracy),

His record of promises kept, broken and compromises are all listed here: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/subjects/politifacts-top-promises/

And keep in mind, when he keeps a promise (universal healthcare) your side gets hoppin’ mad. When he compromises with you (i.e., Gitmo) – you attack him still. When he breaks a promise –its almost always because of conservative opposition (including Blue Dog Dems).

So stop fuckin around and inform yourself with sources other than talk radio asshats and Faux News. What lying jerks are opponents are!

Fact: Correct keep that thought in mind when pushing that one big red button for a one stop GOP vote!!!!

I think what Jon is saying is can’t conservatives be gracious enough to say “Well done” when the moment comes, and still disagree with him on other issues.

I know some can because a conservative friend of mine is that kind of guy. Instead these goobers try so hard to not give Obama any credit at all that they all come off lookng like politically motivated juveniles.

Ceeza they really brainwashed you with the BS of “we must stop Ghadafi killing his people”. Are you aware your new friends in Libya slaughtered all dark skinned Libyans living in the south of the country? UK France and USA sided up with a bunch of butchers and history will not be kind with any of the so called Western countries that took part in this charade. An islamic republic is in the making. 

To be fair McCain did congratulate the Administration, but Rubio, Grassley have their heads up their asses.

Are you suggesting that Obama should only have done this if he was going to get a bounce in the polls? Is that how conservatives conduct their foreign policy now? 

The fact is that what this — and all his other successes — does is take away from the Republicans the claim that his foreign policy makes us “weaker.” He’s proven that he’s strong on defense and can be much more effective at a much lower cost in lives and treasure. That will help him in 2012.

Fact: Americans first living in their means first then all else second!

There have been a number of Gaddafi supporters, and family members, who either defected, surrendered, or escaped without being killed. Gaddafi was killed at the hands of Libyan people. The administration did provide pivotal support to the Libyan people in their uprising. If the actions of those we support upsets you, I would suggest saving your outrage for some of the oppressed people, who suffer under the thumb of those we support, rather than the guy who once did the oppressing.

Your attempts at civility are for naught Darladoon. These people are ignorant and hate for you and your logic is palpable. They are un-intelligent idealogues that believe YOU are the biggest threat to the nation and they say as much a daily basis. I don’t like ‘em anymore.

Fact: Pull that jug out of your butt and drink the kool-aid Obama the anointed one deserves his due! Let that hiney shine!!!!!

In May 2003, The Republican Party paid $3,066 to Thomas Graphics in Austin TX to make the sign. This expense was later declared on the Campaigns Contributions for the Bush Campaign in 2004. [Source: Opensecrets.org]

Typically, the Republicans would be masturbating to something like this, but since Obama is looking like the Foreign Policy genius these days, they can only hide in the corner.

Just make sure you don’t run out of emergency rations, Crazy Uncle Dave.

Fact: No help to the crusader Obama right?

Looks like a troll.  Don’t feed.

Fact: Obama’s money printing device has no jams!!!!!

Obama, assassinates Osama, Hero! Cry the leftists. Obama through 2nd
party, 3rd party and CIA assets assassinate Ghaddafi. Hero! Cry the
leftists. Obama orders the assassination of a US citizen. Hero! Cry the
leftists.

Do you NOT see the duality of your existence?

You might have a pretty valid point if it wasn’t for the drastic duality of the conservatives. Yes, bias sometimes prevents people from examining things from a cooler more rational perspective, but as the saying goes, take care of the beam in your own eye first.

Even if, technically, they don’t, they sure do make it easy for people to kill people.

“Fact:  I agree.  MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, TNT, and NBC are all fixed comedy news networks!  That’s why we all have FOX News.  It’s fair and balanced for all to watch and come up with their own conclusions.  This is evident in the fact that both sides are given!”

How could they have possibly ‘gotten in his way’ to close GITMO?  All that would take would be an executive order.  However, even if it took Congress, he had a supermajority for two solid years.

Can’t have it both ways, chuckles.  Either he’s the CIC or not, either he takes charge, or not.  HE Is the one with the power, what he does with it is up to him.  If he makes a decision, it’s HIS.

What you’re doing is ‘if Obama does something that I think is good, that means he’s a great POTUS!” and also ‘if he does somehting bad, it’s because the Republicans made him or stood in his way’.

Which boils down to taking no responsibility for anything whatsoever. 

I don’t recall this kind of measured, realist response from conservatives when it came to Iraq.  It seems to me that the biggest problem there was our failure to consider “the next issue” which is why Bush and Co. ignored recommendations regarding troop levels.  “We’ll be greeted as liberators,” they said.  We just need enough troops to take out the regime.  Issue solved.

That’s funny. Here’s another post you made, just minutes apart from this one:

“Fact: The demarodent way. This war on Libyan soil isthe first time ever that America hasn’t shown any compassion in letting anyenemies live as a prisoner instead here we just kill them all, no matter what oreven when they beg for forgiveness! Take no prisoners just kill them all! Obamathe true crusader!”

You didn’t seem glad there. Some might say you were pouting. In fact (get it) you called President Obama a crusader, and complained that America killed all of its enemies in Libya without compassion, no matter what or even when they begged for forgiveness. How does your post here, saying we didn’t put in enough effort, reconcile with your lamentation in the other post? It sounds to me like someone has sour grapes and is just looking for this to be a fail for America because of who the current President is.

I have NO idea if taking out Quadaffi is ‘good’.  Was he a bad person? Certainly.  Is what is going to take his place ‘better’??

I HAVE NO IDEA.

I’m not congratulating him, either party, Europe, the rebels…I’m just sitting here watching, hoping to shout that something good takes his place. 

I don’t party about something unless I’m sure.  Which means, I rarely party.

It was ‘good’ that Osama was taken out and I gave Obama credit for it, even though it was the SEALS who literally did ‘it’.  It was the intelligence community in various countries that made that even possible.  But it happened on Obama’s watch, he gets to be the guy that got Osama.  I clapped and gave him his due.

But Quaddaffi?  He was in charge of a country.  Would they be better off without him?  Yep.  Except we might see a rise of something bigger and worse.

There was no possible redemption for Osama.  He was in charge of Al Quaeda, who could not be redeemed.  Libya is another story.  There could be good things there or bad things there.  It could be people looking for freedom and I will totally support that.  Or it could end up being the rise of another Iran, only this one fueled with oil money.

What do you Bush was right about concerning Iraq?

Guns DON’T KILL PEOPLE!
Chuck Norris does.

Indeed.

Jeff Merrill: Soft on Terrorism Since 2001!

Just for you.

Wicked. True. Clever. Wicked.

It’s a comedy show.

This is a huge story, and I expect it to get traction. An outright lie.

Please, stay in Italy. We don’t need your virulent strain of Conservative Victimization Syndrome in the US. We are busy battling CVS Type-M (Michelle-in-Utah) now.

BTW: “The Daily Show” is a comedy. It is not news, although it often has far more factual content in 30 minutes than FOX “News” does in 24 hours.

L’Idiot! Credit has been given to France and England and, more importantly, to the Libyan people. Typical sour grapes from a rancid Italian vineyard.

Your memory is faulty, Alte Frau.

Credit?  No problem.  Congratulations to President Obama on his successful handling of this situation and the removal from power of Moammar Qaddafi.  A well run, successful campaign.  Now, let’s go get Kim Jong Il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (sp?) and Hugo Chavez.  Having established not only the will to eliminate dangerous dictators but the ability to do so with the full support of the world at little financial cost and no risk to American soldiers, President Obama should try to “run the table.”

Or is that not what we had in mind here?

Leibovitz could not get a point across without obscenities, yelling and profanities and shouting.

He is the stereo-type that turns normal people into ant-semites.

I’ll give you credit – you were right to laugh there, but this is an open letter to everyone, left or right:

Let’s let “LOL” die, please.  It’s had a good run, but it’s time to move on.

So, really, you are upset because Republican presidents get things done in spite of the opposition and Democratic presidents blame the opposition for not getting things done.

Got it.

$2 billion spent to kill Gaddifi is $2 billion too much. The people of Libya wanted their Socialist utopia and they got it with Gaddifi, and they also harbored terrorists (and murdered American citizens) so I feel absolutely no sympathy for these people.

We’re supposed to be happy that we wasted money to kill that country’s own damn problem? We have zero vested interest in that country. And we’re supposed to be happy that we’re inviting the very probable possibility of someone even worse than Gaddifi to fill the power void, who may attack Americans again? Look at Egypt, they’re still under military rule with no end to that in sight and they’re even more radical Islamist and murdering Christians. Egypt can gofuck itself, they deserve their misery.

And I totally expected it when I scrolled down to the comments over my morning coffee.  It was like opening up a Christmas present.

Funny how you hate one president for being a warmonger because your little brain just can’t handle that there’s an (R) next to his name on the TV, but you love another president for being an even bigger warmonger because your little brain switches to mindlessly-support-him mode because there’s a (D) next to his name on the TV.

And they certainly are straining, aren’t they?  I’m loving every minute of it.

Wow!  Nothing like the combination of Obama and the death of another human being to bring all the unhinged liberals out of the closed, replete with the smug comments of those who still think they’re on the side of the good guys!

You knuckleheads want to believe that Obama put on his ‘Superman’ suit, flew to Libya and personally smited Moammar Gadhafi?  Hey, if it makes you feel better, go with it.  Personally, I’ll not lose any sleep over the death of this maniac but you guys need to take it down a notch or two.  What Obama did or didn’t do wasn’t the result of some grand strategy, the display of true bravery, or even more than a couple hours of great thinking.

Obama’s choice to support the rebels here was easy and aligned with his previous position on the uprisings popping up all across North Africa.  Hell, he even made the choice to sell out a loyal and commited ally in Egypt so why does anyone find the end game in Libya so surprising?

But, Emperor, I’m not so sure that argument works so well…  Not because it’s not 100% factual, but because it’s kind of like trying to explain certain colors to colorblind people.  These people just don’t grasp comedy and satire.  I think the closest thing they have to that is Eric Bolling, which is really saying something.

To all you people that get your news from the Comedy Channel – WTF is wrong with YOU ???

Good point, although i think Obama supports some of those who you mentioned…

He being and anti-semite himself he can’t help it…hes only funny to libs because he agrees with them..He is as funny as a root canal and dumb as one to

No, that’s not what we had in mind here. When you contemplate a military intervention you have to take in a whole array of factors: 

Is there an organized opposition we can work with? 

Do we have legitimate strategic interests? 

Do we have to put boots on the ground? 

Is there the threat of a humanitarian disaster if we don’t act? 

Can it be done without making an endless commitment? 

Can it be done in concert with others — and it in a way that’s financially feasible? 

Can we succeed with a minimal loss of life? 

There’s no way to apply what happened in Libya to Syria or Iran or North Korea. Every situation is different with its own set of risks and rewards. That Obama considered all the options carefully here and made a good call should earn him a little credit. The cons who can’t do that are petty little jerks and deserve to be shamed. Thanks to Jon Stewart, they were. 

Lots of bull crap, saying nothing.

I guess it’s all fun and games when you are gratuitously tearing at Obama for every single little sentence.

But then you get all booty hurt when you get called on your B.S.

Now its all high road and stuff!

Thank you! I wouldn’t have had a clue what any of that gibberish meant. It’s a fact!

To all you people that get your news from FOX — WTF is wrong with YOU ???

Fact: Obama wants the oil and that’s the fact!

Right.  Because the situation in Libya is now magically over.  Or at least, the dramatic reporting of car bombings and IEDs that happened daily in Iraq (amazingly, no daily reports since January, 2009) will simply not happen on NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, Moveon, but only on FOX (you know them better as “Faux”).
Glad to know that the future of Libya is secure.

Fact: Even Stewart knows that Obama just wants the oil!

*LOL* You get your news from a show that calls itself the Fake News and you feel holier than thou? Now THAT’S comedy!

Fact: About innocents or just Kaddafi? Re-tool your thoughts libbie!!! Were are the prisoners of the Obama war?

And there are better sources like faux news?

Seriously, you chose to respond by calling me human feces and GOP trash? Keep it classy, liberals.

FACT: You are an idiot! Yeah I am sure Bush didnt know the sign was going to be up..C’mon really

I think that McCain congratulated for taking a lead from behind position…  Maybe we should do that more often.

So when is Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz going to do a clever skit on Steve Jobs’ biting critique of Obama?

Fact: I thought libbies all knew how to spell. Fox News is the most viewed News source in News but I haven’t seen Faux or are you just a want to be liberal that got their union subsidized public education.

Fact: Okay McCain and Obama are in it for the oil!

Has it occurred to any journalist…has any one of them even for a solitary second considered…has any single one of them entertained a comparison of the end of Qaddafi, where we led from behind, with the end of Hussein of Iraq, which was led from the front from the start by the policies of the Bush administration?

Hussein was captured peacefully by our effective troops and handed over to medics for examination then to the Iraqi government for trial and ultimate justice.
Qaddafi was seized by an armed mob, was brutalized, and was murdered…period.

Is there anything that could be learned form these incidents? I have little to no sympathy for Qaddafi, however when history looks at this, will there be at least one single, solitary historian who will consider making the comparison between civilization and barbarity and one administration and another. Just imagine what the Left would have said about Hussein ending up the way Qaddafi has! What jokey boy Stewart would have had to say in his histrionic delivery of the punch line to his adoring audience of Leftist halfwits.

Because a good portion of his audience happens to think similarly to him, but I know republicans who like his show as well.  I don’t agree with Doug Stanhope’s politics most of the time, and he does bring them up in his act, but he’s one of my favorite comedians.  Puts me in stitches every time.  

0 lives lost, now that is a good day

Hey you can say all you want ..it doesnt change the fact that Bush made a fool out of himself. on the aircraft carrier, .blew both wars, got out of military action(like so many right wing war mongers do) and destroyed the economy..you little computer geek you!

By point;

Yes, there is opposition in Iraq, North Korea and Syria (I know, new to the discussion).  I’m not so sure about Venezuela (to show my honesty)

Legitimate strategic interests exist, particularly the presence of nuclear weapons in North Korea and the ever growing threat of nuclear weapons in Iran.  Stabilization of the Far East, the Middle East and South America must be in the legitimate interests of the world, no?

Not to be sarcastic (honest), but I am reading two days of lavish praise from liberals about President Obama’s skills at completing the Libyan mission without boots on the ground.  I encourage him to do the same here

All of these countries (especially Syria, but again new to the discussion) are suffering humanitarian disasters

We don’t know that Libya has been accomplished without an endless commitment.  To believe so is to accept the same folly that brought such grief to President Bush with “Mission Accomplished.”

Again, I thought from reading these posts that doing this at low cost with the blessing of the world was Obama’s strength

Minimal loss of life – I won’t make the assumption that you mean American military here, so let me say that Saddam Hussein and Moammar Qaddafi were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands in their countries before they were deposed.  Kim, Assad, Ahmadinejad (sp?) and even Chavez have done the same.  Perhaps not on the same scale, but we uncovered many more mass graves in Iraq than anyone feared possible.

Again, I am glad that Qaddafi is gone, and credit the president for his involvement.  But this sets us on a new foreign policy in our approach to dictators, and we need to pause and consider the ramifications.  Too many liberals, I hope you will agree, who opposed the actions of removing Hussein and denounced President Bush as a unilateral cowboy seem totally fine with this incursion.  That doesn’t make sense, as it makes them as hypocritical as they accuse conservatives of being.

I think we hated one President for being an ineffective and wasteful warmonger.  You can’t argue that Obama’s successes with capturing Bin Laden, and his handling of Libya were far more cost and life saving than anything Bush Jr. could do.

I know it hurts to admit, but Obama has a better foreign policy track record than the previous administration.

Someone get the translator to translate this nonsensical dodge attempt.

Would not the single statement: “CLOSE GITMO on JANUARY 31st AT LATEST” have been more to the point???????????

Your obsession with Michelle is getting creepy!

Yeah, I remember Democrats being so disappointed when Saddam was captured….oh, hold it, that’s one of seek’s fever dreams from the right wing swamps?

Give us a cite of where a prominent Democrat/liberal (you know like the former nominee president) opposed capturing Saddam.

We’ll wait

He, uh, did state the mission was the removal of Gaddafi from power.  He gave an entire speech about it, Know Nothing

Of course, there is no question that Libya — and the world — would be
better off with Gadhafi out of power. I, along with many other world
leaders, have embraced that goal, and will actively pursue it through
non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include
regime change would be a mistake.

So, Obama can have it the way he intended it and told us he intended it and, for once, it would be nice if conservatives didn’t try to re-write history

It’s sweet that you care more about Gaddafi then you did an American citizen and his teenaged son we just murdered with OUR hands.

Nice priorities

He avoided service by going AWOL from the National Guard unit his Daddy got him into?  or, he just didn’t join an all volunteer force?

don’t point out facts to him

Where did you put the goalposts after you moved them? 

It was really painful trying to follow the treads here from John Kramer. John, take some time off and clear your head. Right now you sound so obsessed with your conclusions, logic is eluding you. I don’t really care if you are Right or Left, but at least try to make sense of your ideology. You are exhibiting the profile of a stalker. Something about Obama just makes you lose it! Unfortunately, you are letting it spill out into a public forum like this. Take a break!

Repugs hate professional journalists and especially editors. They’re that stupid. They really are.

Heres the problem, people like you..we spent thousand of American lives, hundreds of millions of dollars, and Iraq is a complete mess, where the people hate us compared to no Amrican lives and a victory where we actually may get something out of…talk about a half wit!

Fred says “Hussein was captured peacefully” WTF?!?!?!? Where did you get ‘peacefully’? Holy delusional!

Wow so clever very clever…you guys are so clever

Fact: Your idea in Lybia under the anointed one is…. If it moves bomb it from above until it stops! Their all guilty and I know this because I take no prisoners!

Fact: How many wars can the left start in one four year term? WTF is wrong with you!!!!

This is a joke…and everyone can see thru you..Obama could bring about World Peace tomorrow and you would complain..Did you complain when Bush screwed up 2 wars? You are transparent..

no, sounds like the sour grapes are coming from Stewart….

false.

LMAO!

*LOL* So you’re proving my point, thanks! You hate one warmonger because he has an (R) next to his name on the TV and like another even bigger warmonger because he has a (D) next to his name on the TV.

I appreciate you admitting to your mindless partisan hackery and overt hypocrisy. I wish all mindless partisan hack hypocrites would do that.

Let’s ignore your straw man and focus on your posts. So are you glad we did what we did and wish we had put even more effort into it, or are you upset with even that which we have done? You have two contrasting posts there.

Whats wrong here is an ocean of young mush minds wacthing John for “news”

Stewart is showing an amazing amount of hypocrisy for the GOP; Mr Obama’s supporters and the media of the left is crowing across the board about “Obama’s success” in the war.

How or even WHY should Mr Obama deserve credit for the elimination of Quaddafi?

Anymore all I see with Mr Obama is a man who is growing daily more unstable and may have, in my own opinion, be terminally insane.

John McCain was pretty gracious — more than I would have expected.

Anyone who voted for George W. Bush twice, and I’m assuming that’s you, is a halfwit.

Beat’s the hell out of Fox News.  Sean Hannity is a sullen know-nothing and Bill O’Reilly is an egotistical, loud-mouthed bully.

At least Stewart and Colbert are humorous.

Old white people love it.  Others, not so much.

And funny, too.

Hey Stewart, there are no gracious or statesman like Republicans because they are all controlled by Terroristic Economic Antagonist(TEA) party-ers! They do not want to broadcast any great vibe of any kind for the president! Rubio used the words, “Leading from behind” as did John McCain this morning on TV. Both are poor losers who have gone out of their way to take away from the president any kudos or stroke he may have  received. McCain said, Obama was “leading from behind” in his underhanded way of saying he was jealous of the president’s leadership in taking out seventeen bad boys, including extremist like Osama Bin Ladin as well as authorizin­­­g assistance to the European Union to help remove Moammar Khaddafy(now deceased) while passing the great legislation in last Congress. The president authorized the number two leader of Al Qaeda, Atiyah abd al-Rahman, to be killed on August 22 in Pakistan, a senior U.S. official said. Atiyah abd al-Rahman’s son was also knocked off!  There have been 3 or 4 more high level hits authorized to cut the head off of this scourge to the Middle East! Leadership is the president’­­s! A total of seventeen by some counts! These guys were and are just as jealous as McCain!

I am pretty sure we need oil so whats your point.

Republicons aren’t use to giving anyone credit unless it’s for themselves!! They know Obama was right on how he handled Libya… but will never admit it!! Republicons are losers!!

I was in a bar yards down the street from one of the nation’s most liberal universities in Portland OR when Saddam Hussein was captured. The cheering was unrestrained. I like how conservatives managed to hang on to the childlike concept of “pretend,” even in to their adult years.

Mob rule and mob justice is being embraced by the United States.

This is a bad sign for the future of the world.

If we don’t have justice for the worst among us, then what are we celebrating in Libya?

I’m very disappointed with Stewart on this. There is simply no justification and no moral authority left to defend against dictators, and terrorists alike if we have become just as immoral as them. Bin Laden won.

Stewart is a Hipocrite…

When in SOME in the audience of one of the Republicans debate clap and lauded the death of a man on death row HE went on a spree to humiliate the RIGHT and the REPUBLICANS… TODAY, the left lauds and applauds the BRUTAL and SAVAGE killing of another criminal.

BOOOYAAA Johnny boy… IN YOUR FACE… you see, there is no difference between the Republicans and the Democrats… both of them are hypocrites and there is no difference between Fox and John Stewart both of you do all this circus for the money… nothing more than buffoons. 

Psst. They don’t watch it for “news”. They watch it for comedy.

Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of politicizing a war. Both ideologically left & right are guilty of politicizing a war. There’s no such thing as a good war, or a bad war- there is only war- whether necessary or not, it’s ugly. So shame on both the right & left. 

Hmm, all those promises kept– and yet the economy is still screwed. Interesting!

So, the GOP can’t note that a worse government may take root in Libya, citing the mob killing of 42-year reign ruler?

These joke state people crack me up. President Obama intervened in Libya. He stop Kooki from killing his people and both Republicans and the left threw a fit. Not only did President Obama get Bin Laden but he also got this guy that McCain is on video bowing to – he’s real interesting.

The joke staters are mad. All you got is the worst president in history. Bush can’t even travel to Canada or Europe. He created fewer jobs than Jimmy Carter. He owns the worst set of foreign, domestic, and economic policy in our history. Just the facts.

The right wing needs a pretend, play government. They can watch Fox RICO and they can have their dead beat representatives play government. It would literally save the rest of the world, our talented military, and our economy.

Fundamental misunderstanding of how congress has been brought to a stunning standstill by Republican obstructionism.  Name one Democratic legislator who has in excess of 40 holds on votes/actions of congress.  There are more than three republicans.  

It’s best to just ignore him…maybe he will go away but I doubt it…..I know it is hard to resist replying to his idiotic facts

please don’t do that it is extremely annoying – save it for your blog.

No they can but they can also give credit to their country, for its strong leadership, under its very capable president.

Let’s see — Libya’s been run by an insane tyrant who sponsored terrorism, killed and brutalized his people, attacked US civilians and interests, threatened his neighbors and used oil as a political weapon.

And  you’re worried that a “worse” government may take root?

I’d prefer to get my news from a fake news show that knows its fake than a fake news show that thinks it’s real. 

Fact:  Fox News is the most viewed News source in CABLE NEWS!!!! 
Fact:  Being the best in Cable News is like being the skinniest kid in Fat Camp.

Whats wrong with you is a dried up ole prune for a brain.

You really believe that. dont you? Lolllolllololllllllll….what an idiot.

Ouch, that had to hurt….

My brother.

Ric Perry! AKA Gov Goodhair.

well said…thank you.

Libyans deserve better…. They have every right to live without terror …….

You described the USA  “sponsoring terrorism”, “kill and brutalized his people”, “threatened his neighbors” “used oil as a weapon”. The USA and especially this president lost every possible moral argument. I never expected anything worse than Bush but I’m terrified and disgusted. I’m beginning to wonder if Hillary and Obama are human beings.

Better even than a Dem is George Bush Senior who explained that going after Saddam after the first Gulf War would have been a huge mistake by destabilizing Iraq and getting us into a quagmire.  If you didn’t know this already use Google and you will eventually find it because it was true then and true now.

89 “likes”, the most I’ve ever seen for one comment!! Congratulations!!  =)

Good point. Cheney opposed it then too. Then he went even crazier and people like seek followed him over the edge

LESS COST??? That any Republican would even think of criticizing Obama on this point is laughable.

Iraq war = over $800 BILLION, more than 4000 US soldiers killed, over 31,000 wounded.

Libyan conflict =  about $1 billion, 0 U.S. casualties

The Republicans are embarrassed that Pres. Obama has shown the Repubs. how things “should” get done. They can’t stand it. Too bad so sad.

To bad and extremely sad to see the left even worse than the right, bathing in illegal wars and assassinating US citizens without due process. I’m embarrassed for you

Obama was right to bypass Congress in declaring his “kinetic military action” and taking his marching orders from the UN instead?!?!  Not according to our Constitution.  And now we may be brought up on charges for violating the Geneva Convention for allowing him being killed in custody after being captured. 

I was more embarrassed about Hillary chortling over it, saying “We came, we saw, he died.”  Is there no professionalism left in government? 

Hahaha. So Hussein was captured and beaten in a crescendo of violence, was he? Nice moniker by the way.

Gee, Pug, if you voted for Obama, you voted for Bush’s war policies and didn’t even know it, cause BO flip-flopped on his pacifism..

Don’t except McCain…..he hates this!

Tsk, tsk,: It must be a struggle to be so lacking in mental capacity, but it must make it easier to be blindly biased. Hmm?

Bush laid the groundwork and wrote the plan for how to accomplish all of these hits. Obongo accidently completed the missions. If you are an “ER Doctor”, prescribe yourself some psychiatric medication.

Its hypocritical, but wasn’t the point. Just like how Dems who criticize interventalist policies like what we saw under Reagan, who now support bombings and aid to armed militants. With a ‘D’ next to the name of the president, Republicans appose what they would previously had supported. But like I said earlier, this was the US aiding a group against a government we didn’t like. Nothing new , and not the same as actual wars we have fought.
