Try reading what I said a little closer. I don't mind honest opinions that disagree with the way I see the Bushies. What bothered me about RichardE was that he continually referred to "we" as he supported illegal acts of the Bush administration as though the was speaking of "his" government as an American citizen.

He isn't. He's Canadian. I have nothing against Canadians, but when it comes to advocating that OUR government should violate the Geneva Conventions against torture, thus violating our own and international laws, if he's going to make such comments, basic honesty would dictate that he should make it clear that he is not speaking as an American citizen.

The actions he advocates would be just as illegal and just as dispicable if they were committed by officials of the Canadian government.

Get that bitch.

Please don't call me any of your family names. :laugh:

Not so fast you backpedalling hypocrite. I'll quote your post again:

Specifically, you're Canadian, not American. I would guess that many Canadians would be appalled by your inhumanity, but if you want to live under a government of murderous tyrants, you can spew your venom on your own side of the border.

BUTT THE FUCK OUT, and SHUT THE FUCK UP! You have no business telling citizens of the United States of America what kinds of horrific crimes our government can or should commit in our names or what we, as American citizens, should do when we learn about them.

Relevent portions bolded. Your post was quite clear. First you told him he was not entitled to his opinion specifically because he was not, allegedly, an American citizen. Then later you said that because of said allegation, that he should "shut the fuck up".

Amusing really. A pathetic first post followed up by an even more pathetic revision of what you "supposedly" really meant.

No matter how ridiculous you are, you will always be entitled to your opinion. I'll never tell you to "shut the fuck up" because witnessing your stupidity brings amusement to the more emotionally mature posters and viewers of this forum. Not to mention the way your posts adulterate the lefty movement. Bravo!

What makes this even better is that Harvey calls for the torture and death of GWB, for denying constitutional rights to non-citizen "enemy combatants" caught on the battlefield. I guess he's only in favor of rights for terrorists, not innocent Canadians posting on an internet message board.

Yeah because the terminology was the problem :disgust: Naming them "fairy's" and still doing the same thing sure is "change". Ignorance is your bliss.

Uh huh. Did you read the post directly above yours? Re-classifying "enemy combatants" is merely part of the puzzle. Apparently, willful stupidity is your bliss. Congrats.

Excuse you, but where did I call for the torture and death of your thankfully EX-Traitor In Chief? I'll make it easy for you. Here's a version of my standard sarcastic "macro" cut and pasted from one or more earlier threads:

George W. Bush and his administration of traitors, murderers, torturers, war criminals, war profiteers and total incompetents should be tried and convicted for their crimes and and given all expenses paid lifetime vacations at the beautiful downtown Guantanamo Hilton with free passes on the exciting waterboard ride.

It isn't torture. They said so, themselves, and we can believe them... right? :roll:

Where do you see any call for their deaths? Where do you find anything other than a sarcastic reference to Guantanamo... You remember, the place where the Bushwhackos claimed prisoners were being treated humanely... and to waterboarding, the torture they, themselves did to innocent people, there and elsewhere, while publically denying that it was torture?

And while you're trying to cover your ass for your lies, try proving ALL if those at Guatanamo your asshole Traitor In Chief labeled as "enemy combatants" were actually "terrorists," or that they actually did anything to warrant the fabricated label, "enemy combatant," or that ALL of them were even caught "on the battlefield," or that you even know which "the battlefield" constitutes THE battlefield.

If the best you can do is lie about me and what I've actually posted, go home and practice, little boy. :p

Pretty much what it comes down too. Until these animals show which state is backing them they should not be protected by the Geneva conventions.

When did this forum allow language like this? I have never seen an admin/moderator act like this. What a shame.

And as a prior military member I agree with Bush, these people were not wearing a uniform and therfore do not fall under the Geneva Convention.

BUT they do deserve to be charged and have their day in court in a more reasonable time frame.

I've seen you say multiple times that GWB should be sent to Gitmo and get waterboarded. I'm not going to search back through every post you've made, but I doubt anyone has a hard time believing that you're prone to crazy, emotional, insult filled ranting. My original point still stands, you're defending the rights of terrorists while trying to deny an innocent Canadian/American citizen his rights. lulz.

Instead of having to search back through all of your moronic ranting, I'll just try and apply a little logic. You believe that GWB is guilty of MURDER and TREASON correct? I believe that the proper punishment for MURDER and TREASON is the death penalty. Ooops.

Also, you've accused me of being a party to their MURDER and TREASON for simply asking for more proof and what you perceived as me defending them on an internet message board. Now that YOUR President is failing to bring GWB up on charges of MURDER and TREASON, even after you've sent him your irrefutable evidence, are you going to accuse him of being a party to MURDER and TREASON?

:clock:......................





:clock:......................






:clock:......................



The clock is ticking, we'll be waiting for your hate filled rants about Obama, hypocrite.

1. You're calling out a mod, you should probably change that otherwise you'll get a ban.

2. Harvey (as a poster, I'm not talking about Harvey the mod) doesn't answer to anyone on this forum, he can do whatever he wants here. Just have some fun with him, he's a huge hypocrite and incredibly easy to get riled up.

Question Harvey. I see that RichardE's profile is blocked and assume since his profile is blocked he would rather not have his personal information made public. How did you come to determine his identity and did you receive consent to post his personal information in the public forum? I certainly hope my suspiscion is unfounded so please let us know.
