Headline as shown: funny.

Headline as related to article: crap.

Article content: not sure--was there a space that needed to be covered?

Article from National Review: sadly, not even worth reading, and I used to enjoy NR even though I'm a leftist commie pinko.

submitter: What was Biden's "hint" a week ago all about?

Oh, I dunno. How about the fact that the policies of Bush, Cheny, Rove, and McCain have driven this country into the crapper, and it will take a couple of years - at least - to get out of it. Let me make this clear...

Biden's 'hint' is that Bush/Cheney/Rove/McCain have dumped huge turds on this country, and left Obama to clean up the mess. It will take time.

Fukcing morons. How is this unclear to anyone? People submitting links from NRO need a punch in the face

A few days ago, Joe Biden was trotted out to make his monthly gaffe.

Monthly? As opposed to Sarahcuda's daily gaffe?

/bad start, Billy...

And-1:

I cannot for the life of me find 'Remote Punch 1.0.7' on Firefox's add-on site. Link please?


/I wish...

And-1: Fukcing morons. How is this unclear to anyone?

I'm not sure that it is. It's possible that utter disingenuousness is simply the only way they can find anything to say that fits their operational template, which seems to be:

1. Take a fact. (Obama wants to reduce nuclear armaments.)
2. Expand to a tenuous-at-best conclusion. (Obama will disarm the US, disband the military, and run away from any conflict.)
3. Hyperventilate.
4. Get paid for article.

Also wants the Remote Punch 1.0.7 Firefox extension.

"Our enemies will test the new president early. Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration."

- Joe Biden Lieberman, 6/29/2008

If you're new to these intertubes, here's the print version: He is sitting in what appears to be his senate office, and says, quite clearly, that:

"I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems. [snip] I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons. I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material. And I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBM's off hair-trigger alert."

Wow.

Is Barack Obama planning a unilateral drawdown of U.S. forces? He says that's what he wants, and he sounds pretty clear about it to me.


God damnit, assholes. It's "Future Combat Systems," not "future combat systems." There's a difference, and both McCain and Obama are (or were, if McCain hasn't altered his stance) on basically the same page regarding FCS.

Had this discussion with my co-worker like two weeks ago. I showed him where McCain wanted to eliminate Future Combat Systems altogether. He still insisted that somehow, despite using almost identical language, that McCain meant the FCS program, and Obama meant 'all combat systems being researched in/for the future, ever'

I like the way NRO twisted Obama's 1 1/2 minute thank you to C4P (new window) into a unilateral disarmament policy statement. Are all conservatives this fear-based?

FTA: "new recruits are waiting out the election, since most of them have no desire to serve in the kind of toothless military they see under a President Obama"

Because as we all know, combat soldiers absolutely LOVE being in Iraq or Afghanistan for fifteen months at a time.

/ Or the Iran and such.

The rapture is coming, Republicans should be happy.

I really hope that Barack doesn't just go back to being a regular politician after the election. If he does he's going to let a lot of people down.

If Obama wants to cut our 53% military budget to 40% or something I'm all for it, just make sure you do it smartly, and make it plainly obvious why you are doing it. If not the Repubs are going to skewer any chance of actually doing anything important over the next 4 years.

Notabunny - I like the way NRO twisted Obama's 1 1/2 minute thank you to C4P (new window) into a unilateral disarmament policy statement. Are all conservatives this fear-based?

Do you mean "are they all terrified?" No.

Do you mean have they all learned, even on an amateur level, to employ FUD? Yes.

It's the most disturbing thing about the current GOP in my opinion. They've become like the AMWAY of political parties.

"The people" lie and spin for the politicians... A LOT... lie like they're gonna win a car . Average citizens behave as if they're employed by, and acting under the orders of, party leaders.

"Dear god, we've gotta win because we're white... and that obviously means we're part of the richie rich-folks our party looks after and protects!!! Hell, if nothin' else... We got us a big screen TV, so that means we're like right around the corner from makin' $250k a year!!! shiat our $1500 TV is only like a 16th of that, so all's we gotta do is make like 16 times more than what our TV costs... That cain't be too far off for us, right?!?!"

It'd be sad if it weren't pathetic.

Most people are closer to welfare than riches, and too farking stupid to realize it.

Hell, say you make $100,000/yr, and say a Taco Bell part-timer makes $10,000 a year... You're $90,000 away from the TB employee, and $150,000/yr away from $250k.

Even making six figures, you're nearly twice as far away from the $250k benchmark as you are from the Taco Bell PART-timer.

If the GOP stopped trying to flummox Joe Schmoe with hellfire, brimstone, terrorism, socialism, etc... he might slow down long enough to realize this.

CynicalLA: The rapture is coming, Republicans should be happy.

Heh. Hadn't heard that Azimov quote before. Sweet take on Pascale's Wager.

Every once in a while, there will be a glimmer of good, honest journalism on the ocean of crap that is NRO. Unfortunately, this article is just more of the crap.

About as likely as the rest of the spook stories

//NRO is bullshiat

The article is an obvious troll - the writer misspells "plumber" as "plummer"

9/11 changed everything ;)

Comrade And-1, please chairman Obama would like to forget how Comrade Pelosi has so messed up the USA in just 2 years in power. In fact this entire loan mess has Dem fingerprints all over it, so Chairman Obama would not like that brought up.

Please Chairman Obama has killed the Joe the plummer American dream, and you need to just ask how high are those taxes going to go?

A few days ago, Joe Biden was trotted out to make his monthly gaffe. Last time - I think it was last time; it's hard to follow without a program -

Stopped there. What a smarmy douchebag.

I doubt Obama would sacrifice his party's poll numbers for disarmament. He won't reinstate the draft -- both left and right would rather abandon the Middle East than draft teenagers to go fight there. He'll let Iran go nuclear rather than attack. (So being seen to abandon Israel is a possibility, but it's not what Biden warned about.)

He will institute some dumb economic or taxation policy. Let Iraq fall apart. Force gay marriage on the country as a whole. Socialize this or that. Destroy the health care system. Pick any or all of the above. He'll claim a mandate to do something and face off with a country that didn't elect him to do that but elected him because he was neither Bush nor Bob Dole number 2.

Comrade Mugato please as Chairman Obama has stated, and Comrade Biden has supported, the Spread the wealth Around, take from one person, and give to another, is not Marxism, it is just...... well it is not communism either.... so there.

It pleases me that And-1 is annoyed.

/Definitely doesn't submit NRO articles.

Oh yes..the previous 5 years of Republican majority had nothing to do with it. Our economy was great before the Dems took a very slim majority under a Republican administration.

Ah, I see. Today's going to be the day that the modmins try to push the PITA meter back over to the right.

I read and re-read your post and still don't understand what the fark you're talking about. Dumb economic or taxation policy? You have to be trolling, because borrowing money from Communist countrys is a great economic policy, right? And oh noes!!!, the gays can get married. Who the fark cares? The next thing you know, they might even invite you to a wedding, holy crap!!!!

/although, I agree with you on socialism. I hate police and fire departments in my town.

Edsel: Ah, I see. Today's going to be the day that the modmins try to push the PITA meter back over to the right.

I haven't seen the "past 30 days" one budge since its inception. Maybe mine's broken.

Forced gay marriages, you say?

Someone thank winterwhile for me. I forgot to add him to my ignore list the other day. I just remembered seeing his histrionic tripe above.

Remote punch would be cool, but I've really always wanted to make giant cockroaches crawl out of someone's keyboard.

I want a hypnotize feature. :-) Make everyone do my bidding.

He was talking to a group of idiot liberals. I we are attacked, Obama may have to bomb the shiat out of somebody and they are not going to be happy about it.

Let's see, the top three housing bubble regions are Central to Nocal, Las Vegas and Boston. Pelosi, Reid and Barney Frank run those areas. If Obama undoes the military and turns it 180 degrees and eventually we all suffer by the lose of our liberty, well some of you will have to lie about having voted for Obama if asked. It'll be that bad. Punched faces. If my kids get drafted because no one will volunteer under that turd's command, someone's face is getting punched. That is all.

In my company's IT shop right now there is a laptop that has been quarantined in a plastic bag for six months, because when they opened it up, bugs crawled out. Seriously.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Well, maybe a couple of people. But not many.

When all your 'information' is from Fox commentary your 'analysis' tends to be a little irrational.

Strange that Florida and Arizona had major housing bubbles too. But they are run by Repubs, so they don't count.
It is too bad that so many people want to live in the evil districts of evilness.

If Obama turns the military 180 degrees, wouldn't people want to join? Since they aren't joining now and all?

I have heard of "Grasping at straws" and "straw-man" arguments, but this is a hybrid of both. The author is grasping at straw-man arguments.

Are you like the Repetitive Single Comment Template troll? Even NYZooMan is more original than you. Now that's pathetic.

Taxes are a form of socialism...

If you pay taxes, you support socialism...

So, who here is NOT a socialist?

/Of course I am a socialist, Comrade IRS-man!

This article makes me think that Biden is extremely intelligent and ready to rock this biatch of an economy back to stability. That, or he is extremely intelligent and thinks that moving the USA's chess pieces around from Iraq to Pakistan is going to be a game whose ending they cannot foresee.

If you look deep into Obama's eyes, the answer is obvious: Nukes. Not nuclear power, but nuclear POWER. Glass parking lot.

You all can't stand to look into his eyes because you're a bunch of racists who can't look at a black man as an equal. But I saw it, clear as day....

USA! USA!
