Re: How the GOP Became a Party of Whiners Over Osama Bin Laden Video

The Non-Issue of the Week
Posted by Butler Shaffer on May 1, 2012 11:17 AM

The lockstep media and the rest of the political establishment have a new non-issue with which to amuse Boobus: President Obama's self-directed praise over the killing of Osama bin Laden. Haven't the Republicans publicly preened themselves ever since their attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, which have led to the deaths of untold hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children? And what of John McCain's sociopathic song -- during his 2008 presidential campaign -- with the lyrics "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran?" And which GOP candidate -- other than Ron Paul -- has refused to join the defense-industry-sponsored Warmonger Chorus? If the killing of bin Laden -- the alleged mastermind of 9/11 -- is not to be a prideful act, how can the slaughter of innocents be praiseworthy?

How much contradictory and hypocritical thinking can be absorbed by otherwise intelligent minds?
