That got so jingoistic and ridiculous that it began to read like an Onion article.

I mentioned this yesterday. First, he'd take a nap. Then, he'd send in Palin in a helicopter with a high-powered rifle. You betcha!

the US Navy, which sat restrained by an administration too cowardly to let slip the dogs of war.

How do you slip your war dogs on a liferaft?

I don't know either, but I keep thinking of this:

It's funny, LGF is once again proving to be one of the sanest conservative outlets right now with comments like:


As I said on a previous thread, CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR AUTHORIZING THIS MILITARY MISSION and to the brave military troops (probably SEALS) who carried it out so flawlessly!
(new window)

Meanwhile, the rest of the wingnuts go insane attacking Obama for doing his job.

How did we end up in a world where LGF is a voice of reason?

 
Snarfangel [TotalFark] 2009-04-12 05:52:11 PM  
Ha! I see St_Francis_P had the same idea. I should probably finish the thread before commenting.

My prediction is that he says the entire incident was Clinton's fault for pulling out of Somalia in the 90's. Then he shall state the Obama is pursuing the same policies that resulted in the Battle of Mogadishu debacle.

Why thank you. I hope there's a thread soon about Rush's comments on this so I can see if I am, in fact, psychic.

furiousxgeorge: How did we end up in a world where LGF is a voice of reason?

That's how far right the wingnut bloggers have moved the Overton Window. Incidentally, a lot of the wingnuts now passionately hate Charles Johnson at LGF because he mocks the birthers and the creationists and he won't ally with the fascists and the white supremicists over the evil muslimonazi invasion.

The worst part is that viewpoints like those at LGF are now being considered to be moderate and/or squishy conservatism.

furiousxgeorge: How did we end up in a world where LGF is a voice of reason?

I guess one of those sites had to have sane people on it. They were baffled that the teabaggers have gone astray too, so maybe they are a conservative voice of reason. I am very amused that they aren't even hiding the fact anymore that they will take anything to attack Obama, even the successful rescue of a hostage from terrorists. The fury wouldn't be any different if Obama hadn't rescued him.

Birthers? Are those the people who believe the whole "Obama was born in Kenya" nonsense?

Yup.

LGF is also bashing Glenn Beck regularly, it's weird watching that site evolve. If more conservatives follow their lead they may start on the road to recovering into a sane political movement.

not bad. Completely based outside reality, but with enough "BUT CLINTON" to satisfy the frothing conservatives listening to Limbaugh's show.

Even many of the paste eaters here have admitted at this point they are just getting even for all the grief they saw their guy take. Which is why there's no point in taking any of them seriously about anything.

 
Sybilll [TotalFark] 2009-04-12 07:34:34 PM  
I had to read through the comments to *get* it. I think they are saying Obama had to be pressed for rules of engagement, else the SEALS would have taken out the pirates when Capt. jumped out of the boat the first time on Friday. Obama finally said to use *resources* if Capt. were in imminent danger. Taking a leak off the side of the lifeboat was not imminent danger, instead, Capt. knew he was giving the SEALS a wide open window of opportunity.

I think. Maybe.

furiousxgeorge: How did we end up in a world where LGF is a voice of reason?

LGF more-or-less wants to see bad guys blown up as much as possible and are very suspicious (to say the least) of Islam, and often don't care about the Bible Belt agenda as such, nor are they necessarily and 100% Republican shills. They'll applaud any president, as long as said president righteously smacks the crap out of bad guys on a regular basis and keeps the Muslims away (or down).

Some of the commenters are loony-toons, but the actual guy who runs it is at least within a day's drive of reality most of the time.

The great thing is the "outrage" last week of Obama not saying anything about it when giving a speech about the housing crisis.

"Yeah, I just told some Navy SEALs to go in and tear some shiat up."

LGF is also very anti-creationism and intelligent design, so that fix doesn't really make sense. :P

Random Reality Check 2009-04-12 08:32:43 PM  
I just stopped by to see how the Freepers were handling this and to say predictable would be an understatement.

I think we should have a contest and the Fark Poe's Law authorship award should go to whoever can reliably predict what tomorrow's talking points will be. As a prize, if you do a good enough job, you might get hired to write for Hannity or Limbaugh - including all the Viagra fueled trips to the Dominican Republic you can eat.

Hmm... Blatantly false, hypocritical, and leaving a window open for some "He doesn't even care about HIS kind!" shenanigans.

If you don't write for Limbaugh, you should.
