slogan t-shirts at a memorial service? are democrats just trolling republicans now?

[Throckmorton]

Hence, it became a political rally. Never let a good crisis go to waste, the new libertroll credo.

This is like a sick joke. Remember when Republicans successfully invoked 9/11 to go to war in Iraq?

Remember when the Republicans tried to equate the Haiti earthquake response to Katrina?

LOL

Wrap your pea brain around this ...it isn't the slogan, it's that they were sloganeering, and passing out tee shirts, and pamphlets at a memorial service like it was a high school pep rally.

Hey, no worry, it's just the start of the 2012 Presidential campaign! The new slogan rolled out for the adoring masses! You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.

TV exposure, surrounded by adoring brain washed college kids, a captive audience, air force one and a "prayer" by a Native American/Mexican - priceless! Or not. Eh, Goldman Sachs probably picked up the tab for the T's and the flyer's.

Confirming people are brainwashed if they DON'T think like me.

Both parties are guilty of exactly the same thing. It's neither parties 'fault' it's just what the political landscape has become in the States, and it's fucking wrong.

People are correct or wrong, left or right, liberal or conservative. In reality, nothing is that black and white.

Both parties are so opportunist that they have to take every opportunity to get a leg up on the other, it's tragic.

Kind of makes one wonder how the hell we ever managed to become such a great country in the first place, doesn't it?

Well.. I'm saying this as an unbiased third party. I'm Canadian and I love the USA.

I think that it was an amazing country all the way until the end of the cold war you guys were the shining beacon of what everyone wanted to be.

Now.. it's everyone trying to cut eachother in the throat to get to the top of the pile. I just think that because of the methods everyone is using to get to the top, the view won't be so pretty when you get there.

I don't recall hearing any republicans comparing Katrina to Haiti, except in regards to how the media blamed Bush for Katrina but not Obama for Haiti, even though there is a demonstrable failure of the federal government to get aid to Haiti in a timely manner while Katrina was entirely the fault of the local (democrat) government.

Amazing you see a parallel between the run up to the Iraq invasion, and the sloganeering of a memorial service.

This. I'm willing to believe that this was an honest attempt at healing and not purely politics, but I think it was wildly inappropriate at a memorial service.

That's a very astute observation.

You really don't get it do you? Republicans are latching on to this talking point that the left's policy is to "let no crisis go to waste". Do you not fucking understand that the epitome of not letting a crisis go to waste was using 9/11 to justify the Iraq war?

LET NO CRISIS GO TO WASTE = IRAQ WAR 9/11 FAKE CONNECTION

LET NO CRISIS GO TO WASTE = IRAQ WAR 9/11 FAKE CONNECTION

LET NO CRISIS GO TO WASTE = IRAQ WAR 9/11 FAKE CONNECTION


LET NO CRISIS GO TO WASTE = IRAQ WAR 9/11 FAKE CONNECTION

~snipped~

Making your type big and colorful doesn't change anything.

I'm not talking about exploiting a crisis. I am talking about the wildly inappropriate nature of hootin' and hollerin', and passing out tee shirts, and pamphlets at a memorial service as if it were a pep rally. We aren't talking about 9/11, Iraq or Bush, and it's sad you are so obsessed you can't see it, and just because Bush "didn't let a crisis go to waste", guess what? That doesn't mean it's ok of Obama not to.

You missed a couple of colors. Just one, maybe two at the most...

Now that I've got that out of the way, perhaps the sun is shining too brightly today? Because the reference is to Rahm Emanuel's statement. I know you know that, so I'm giving you an out with the sun thing.

Agreed, but at least Obama admitted that vitriolic political diatribes had nothing to do with this tragedy even as he attempts to capitalize on it. That was something. I suspect that this tee shirt thing is simply another crisis that shouldn't be wasted (like the Wellstone "memorial") but it might have been innocent and well-meaning, if very crass.

Hence, it became a political rally. Never let a good crisis go to waste, the new libertroll credo. The behavior of the MSM, leftie bloggers, the university, and that flamebag sherrif durring the horrific event have been so beneath contempt that there are no adequate words to describe it. These people are worse than everything that they claom to hate. Taking advantage of this tragic situation the way they did reduces them to the lowest form of humanity; they're as bad, or worse, than the Westboro Baptist pigs.

My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and the hurting people of AZ. That should have been the ONLY thing that people should have thought about right after this happened.

You responded to my post about the "no crisis go to waste" trope and said that's not what we're talking about. I gave you 3 examples from THIS THREAD. How does your response make sense?

I see now, you're just trolling.

No, I didn't, I quoted your picture of a tee shirt, and you called me a hypocrite, and then I explained what my problem was with the sloganeering, and then you started off on your tangent about something other people have posted, pay better attention.

The statement about never letting a crisis go to waste was from Rahm Emanuel, Obama's Chief of Staff. When you state that your policy is to use crises to advance your political agenda, don't be surprised if people suspect you of using a crisis to advance your political agenda.

A couple of things come to mind, such as returning the Fairness Doctrine (by which government controls what can and cannot be said) and gun control. Both have been raised by Democrat lawmakers in the wake of this tragedy. Both will continue to be pushed using vague insinuations that conservative vitriol caused this shooting even though we know it most certainly did not.

You responded by accusing Bush of doing the same - though in your defense, you did use a large font and repeated the accusation in various colors.

I know Rahm Emmanuel said that, but what does he have to do with anything? He's running for Chicago mayor. The policy of both parties is to not let a crisis go to waste, but the problem is only Republicans are successful. They did a hell of a lot with 9/11, including starting a war. I didn't accuse Bush of doing the same, I accused him of not letting a crisis go to waste for one of the worst possible ends.

That's why I said it's a sick joke to complain about blaming Republicans for crosshair maps and "2nd amendment solutions" and "don't retreat, reload". Rightfully holding them responsible for their violent rhetoric (obviously irresponsible and not malicious) is not nearly the same as blaming Saddam Hussein for 9/11 so we could depose him. The talking point is a sick joke...

You really should have clicked on the little "1" next to the Page 2 of 2. Ferrellgeek hadn't even posted in this thread when you posted the picture I quoted. Just make an attempt to keep up.
