    Obama the war criminal!

    Hitler was god with kids too.

    Beating the tax man is such as crime, shriek the war mongers want you to ignore their war crimes!

    Yes Hitler was GOD with kids. But I suspect there were not quite so many unedited shots.

    Plus it would be a lot easier to endorse your implied contrast between the Tax Dodger and the War Monger if the Tax Dodger wasn’t on record wanting to vastly expand the War Machine even beyond its current size and whose only specific policy outlined to date was summed up by the Tax Evader as “bomb the shit out of —“.

    Ilsm you are essentially condemning Mussolini while giving Hitler a free pass. Which if you were a straight out Heighten the Contradictions guy would make sense. But as it is just puts you in a hysterical muddle. Or perhaps a hysterical puddle.

    Did they dump KIllary and decide to run 0bama for a third term?

      Warren Hillary never killed anyone or ordered anyone killed and only four types of people call her Killary: morans (sic), fans of Alex Jones, haters, trolls. But I repeat myself.

      Mena and cocaine is a sick fantasy. The ‘murder’ of Vince Foster is not only a sick fantasy but one that was debunked over and over by investigations up to and including the Independent Counsel. I am okay with people insisting that Hillary is just a puppet or perhaps the puppet mistress of the oligarchy. But people who peddle the Clinton Death Count are subject to having their posts barred. As a first step.

      There is no evidence of Bill peddling cocaine or Hillary ordering people killed. Which aren’t the most salacious things wingnuts like to ‘report’. You just don’t get to pass this off in a drive by way.

      “What?” indeed. Try this headline from that same event: Obama Works His Magic On Crying Baby In Japan
      You are showing the ‘before’. Here is the after :

      Obama picks up a crying baby and it stops crying. This is your COMPARISON FAIL?

    What we can say about public persona of our government is mostly lies. When we have a government that support extrajudicial execution, which is a euphemism for murder.
