These people need to understand that butchering the English language is highly offensive and their signs really are a slap to the face, no different than when we Americans masturbate to hand-drawn images of a stick figure Mohammed having sex in the butt of a stick figure dog as we so often do.

Lost Thought 00: Well, the 2 destroyers that just parked themselves off the shores of Libya may have something to do with that. Sad, though, that this needs to be done to remind people that all people of a certain color are not the same

Pictures of these signs came out before the carriers got there.

Name_Omitted: GAT_00: That's more of an apology than I've ever seen for Christian Talibangelicals from the Christians who supposedly don't agree with them yet never speak against them.

Ok, let me be very, very clear about this. I am a Pacifist, and I am a Christian. I completely and unequivocally disavow any violence done in the name of Christianity. I do not wish to be identified with the KKK, Hutaree, violent anti-abortion activists or anyone else who would kill in the name of Christ. Similarly, I do not group Islam Judaism, or any of the non-Abrahamic faiths by their extremists.

No westerner is safe in the Middle East as long as some asshole has the freedom to make an offensive movie and post it to the internet.

So do we take away the camera, or not? Ultimately that is the choice.

HAMMERTOE: Our war is NOT with Islam. It is with those who use Islam, economic suppression and religious zealotry as cover for their actions, and a rich source of recruitment.

AND with those in our own country who exploit every damn resource in sight, both in our country and in theirs, run off with huge profits, and also fan the flames of ignorance and hatred on both sides with their greed. Damned if they don't make use of the prevailing religion here to hide behind as well!

Kuroshin: I'd be doing the same thing if some crazy bastards in my country stormed the embassy of a known psychopathic nation. They know what we did to Iraq, and they didn't do a damn thing to us.

At any rate, the sentiment is appreciated. So often we see nothing but "Death to America" and parades when something like this happens. Nice to know that those people who aren't caught up in the moment are speaking out.


Yeah, they're starting to realize that Obama doesn't fark around the way Dubya did. Pirates, rebels, mothrfarking Bin Laden. fark with the US and Barack will kill you.

This is CIA psy-ops being pushed by the Obama administration. Its being done to calm the American people down so he isn't forced to bomb Libya and start a whole new war to appease the bloodlust of America.

Just look at the pictures. They're all of the same group of people in the same place with only about 5-10 different signs. Obvious smokescreen is obvious.

Just more Obama wizardry.

In the elections that took place this year in Libya a coalition of broadly secular parties won 39 of 80 government seats. In eastern Libya, where Benghazi is located, there were complaints about not receiving as much representation as western Libya in the new government.

I would imagine it likely that a small group of people decided to leak this movie information to their supporters and then organized this attack with the purpose of discrediting the primarily moderate elected government in Libya and harming the relations between it and the Western governments that support the new administration. With the intention of grabbing more political power for themselves and their region.

This is a game that radical elements are playing in order to remove recently won freedoms and curtail Western influence, the better outcome is to continue to invest in Libya's development and simply refuse to be played.

The Republicans have plenty of black folks among their ranks. According to all liberals, all Republican blacks are named Uncle Tom.


I wouldn't say that, understanding that individual people are not responsible for the actions of their large groups of like minded people ,who are automatically dumber, by being large groups. I would, however, say that the vast majority of non-rich white republicans that I've ever met are the most racist sons of biatches i've ever met. But that goes back to "the more people you put in a group, the stupider that group becomes".

The general perception, is that Republicans hate brown people, and they hate gay people, and they hate non-Christians. While that may not be true of many of them, those are positions that the vocal ones are speaking. If they want those positions to appear to not be so relevant, then they'll need to put people who are obviously brown, openly gay, and/or vocally non-Christian in their vocal ranks.

American soil has been invaded. American citizens have been murdered. Why isn't the very first statement from Obama that any further intrusion of american soil will be met with a vigorous defense and you will be fired upon? If he had said that, then maybe the 2nd incident doesn't happen at all. Ya think?

Instead, he apologized. And now an American Ambassador and 3 others are dead. Why? Why are we not allowed to defend our own turf?

Why do Democrats always retreat first when their nation is threatened and seek blame inwardly afterwards before they smell the coffee? You people are so farked in the head. This happened on Obamas watch. You can't blame Bush, you can't blame Rush, or Hannity or Ann Coulter. This wasn't Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair or Romney's Bain Group profits. Where the fark are your balls? Where the fark is your pride? Why the fark are you even HERE?

No one apologized. Someone said that they condemn the actions taken by a certain asshole who posted a youtube video that the majority of people here do not agree with. That was not enough to stop a group of thugs responding by throwing some grenades around, and killing a few people.

Do you expect that for every person killed by some extremist asshole somewhere, that the nation that person belongs to will invade the nation of the person who did the killing?

By that case, India should be invading Wisconsin right now.

For the most part, they speak modern standard Arabic - I'm told that this is because if the prevalence of Egyptian media. Libyans aren't nearly as hard to understand as Iraqis or Syrians. The real Tuareg to the southwest are the pikeys of North Africa. But they do turn out good writers.
