Are you farking kidding me???

So you felt the need to link us to some troll's post on Slate's message forums? Fark off, subby.

He spelled hypocrisy wrong.

So are we supposed to hate him for this or for the very strict rules of engagement we were supposed to hate him for last week?

/so confused

See, this is why we can't have nice things.

No. Piracy is not war. And the international laws that say that pirates can be slaughtered like the dogs they are, are older than our country.

I truly can't believe the Right Wing is trying to make Obama look bad for ordering the death of pirates with a gun to the head of a US citizen.

I only have one thing to say...

Bad enough that somebody bothered to post that idiot message, but even more amazing is that someone thought enough of it to share it with us. Thanks for nothing, subby.

Remember, kids, when farking with the US government while holding a hostage, never ever have everyone pop their heads up all at the same time.

That's free advice.

Marcus Aurelius: Remember, kids, when farking with the US government while holding a hostage, never ever have everyone pop their heads up all at the same time.

Anyone who's seen Sergeant York should be able to tell you that.

Because he gave the order to kill a few Somali terrorists that were holding a US citizen hostage? Jeezuz.

*shakes head, leaves room*

I tried to read it, but my eyes just started floating around aimlessly at about here:

But now enter Obama's hypocrasy as in enters the use by US of harsh intterogation techniques like waterboarding on know high level Al Qaeda operatives who caused 3000 murders in the US on 9/11 now in US custody, which we find out killed no one even when used multiple times and which produce results and the guys it was used on are still alive with with no bullet holes in their brains.

That's some mighty fine WHARGARBL there, Lou. I wish I could have been at your tea party.

I can't even read that. This is a "sentence" FTFA:

"Face it folks as much as everyone wanted the US Captain hostage by scumbag Somali Muslim Terrorist Pirates (SMTPs) saved the situation ended ugly with 3 head shots to the SMTPs left on the lifeboat to guard the hostage while clearly the lifeboat was under tow by the US destroyer and one pirate now in the US was on board the destroyer negotiating and receiving medical treatment for a hand wound."

Jesus Farking Christ.

Wasn't O'Reilly or Rush saying last week that Obama killed "children"?

Be sure to mention they were black ;)

That is the dumbest thing I have ever read.

It was Limbaugh...and it was funny as shiat.

lurkster: Be sure to mention they were black ;)

He did. Like I said...funny as shiat.

And this shiat gets greenlit?

I'm going to start boycotting crappy trollbait threads like this. Adios.

FTFY

Yup, it was Rush:

"They were kids. The story is out, I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently the hijackers, these kids, the merchant marine organizers, Muslim kids, were upset, they wanted to just give the captain back... three teenagers shot on the high seas at the order of President Obama."

Lol, it went green!

TotalFark just paid for itself by allowing me time to get to the store for some popcorn. The shelf will be bare once this gets posted.

Hadn't the pirates stated their intention to kill the captain at that point?

And we're not trying this other guy for murder - we're trying him for piracy. And you don't have to succeed at it or be the leader of the group to be tried for being a pirate.

That's it. Funny as shiat.

Yeah, I think training your AK-47 at the back of the guy's head makes your intention pretty damn clear at that point.

I saw an article on BBC where the kid's mother asked Obama to just let him go. "He's just a little boy. He's innocent." Sure, he's innocent. That's why he was aboard the Bainbridge demanding ransom money.

You remind me of Colonel Fitz from American Beauty, sitting in his darkened living room with his completely mentally checked-out wife, staring intently at the TV like a kid watching cartoons, laughing maniacally at inane, forty-year-old jokes on a black and white military newsreel footage.

If it's a Republican torturing brown people accused of terrorism, then the Geneva conventions don't apply. If it's a Democrat capturing a couple of pirates on the high seas, then the Geneva Conventions apply.

Basically, if your guy is committing the crime, the law doesn't apply. If the other guy is committing the crime(s) then they're a dirty rat bastard and should fry.

No, subby, no it's not.

Gee the writer must have been there and known all kinds of situational information to be able to write such a brilliant, shiny turd of an article.

You just lost that!

I lost my last brain cell around the time I discovered the politics tab. I'm amazed that you could last this long.

Of course, applying the Geneva Conventions...doesn't actually do anything. Traditional international law was pretty clear on piracy: You could summarily execute pirates at sea without trial if you wanted to. Modernly, it's a little more jumbled, but not that badly.

This is a fantastic mental image. Thank you forever for this.

Seriously, how many dittoheads' heads exploded upon hearing those words come from his mouth?

I just envisioned the white supremacists head explosion on Chapelle's show:

There you go. Or you could go find the Freeper link to the article, but I don't recommend wading in without your bullshiat boots on.

The grammar on that page is atrocious. He might as well just urinate directly onto Noah Webster's grave.

impaler: Seriously, how many dittoheads' heads exploded upon hearing those words come from his mouth?

Probably not that many. You underestimate the ability of a dittohead to instantly change their worldview based on the opinion of Rush. I've already seen that language used without a trace of irony on an accidental visit to Freeperland.

That would explain it.

i think submitter and the article's writer are guilty of a crime... the murder of the IQ points of anyone who reads that BS.

Just so I understand Modern Conservative Thought:

Kidnapping innocent people, detaining them without cause, denying them access to lawyers and torturing confessions out of them is OK.

Killing three pirates who have taken a hostage, WHARGARBL!

I think we can agree that we're all a little bit dumber for having read that link.

More like someone is trolling Slate, and was so successful they even got greenlit at Fark. Successfull troll is successfull. Almost like a gold standard.
