Via Salon:

The latest Steele gaffe, you might have heard by now, involves the war in Afghanistan. In an amateur video posted on YouTube, the RNC chairman calls it "a war of Obama's choosing" and "not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in." (Apparently, Steele wasn't paying attention to the news back in, say, October 2001.) He also says that history has shown that "the one thing you don't do is engage in a land war in Afghanistan."

And now Kristol has posted a plea at the Weekly Standard for Steele to step down:

Perfectly normal. Perfectly healthy. They meant to do that. Really.

Honestly: it's not like this was an off the cuff comment. This was a fairly length statement that doesn't much leeway to say it's being misinterpreted. And it's well off message.

Well, in the real world (i.e. outside of the DNC talking points) it is called debate. And is a requirement for anyone discussing or debating issues
What the fuck do personal things have to do with the issues?

Why does your potty mouth bring up personal things?  Please point out where any of my explanation to you (since you seem to be confused on what debate and discussion is all about) has anything to do with you personally?  As if that makes a damn bit of difference to anyone.

Obama promised he would shut down the Bush concentration camps in Cuba, but these Gulags are still operational and poor brown, Muslim people are being tortured by Obama.

No slight against you or the other moderators Jafo, I was just try to advise the other party that is was unwise to yank the chain of the guy paying the bills.

All for that, but I won't stand by idly while someone attempts to disparage me or others here. Just letting it go hasn't seemed to work IMO,  as the thinly veiled bigotry continues on in other articles.

What about the dreaded "Patriot Act" that Obama re-newed and sign off on? I guess it isn't the big devil of a problem now that this administration embraces it. The street protests seem to have dried up.

Even Code Pink seems to have moved away from the wars to a ban against oil. Can you say shill for the administration?

No, more likely, the media just is not covering their anti-war rhetoric (heard from Sheehan lately?  She is still yapping).

Yeah, Obama is torturing these poor people in his Cuban gulags, and the big brother wiretapping is permanent. The predator drone massacres of innocent Pakistani families has troubled me as well... I also suspect Obama of using dreaded white phosphorus on these poor brown people... He plays golf as our men die in Afghanistan... he must not care for them because he is cruel and heartless

You forgot Perfect Citizen - the perfect Big Brother tool that Obama has complete control over.

hear the Cricket's chirping?  That is the outrage over Perfect Citizen coming from the media and of course the Civil liberties liars.

Yeah, and lest we forget Obama's assassination program on American citizens. We can be pretty sure from his own words that Anwar al-Awlaki is a bad dude, but its kind of creepy that he could be assassinated, even on US soil without any due process as an American. Where does this assassination program end? Could any American who irks team Obama get whacked without any due process? Liberals don't seem all that concerned.

Each thread comment has a 'Report' button to notify an Admin of impending doom and mayhem, rather than delving into fisticuffs yourself.

Only downside is that if you wake the Kraken [sort-of frog reference] you might get into a spot of bother...;)

Uh, no.  Non-prosecution of the new black Panthers?  That is not King's dream.  That is the antithesis of his dream.

I believe there was a little more to iMLK's speech than just having the first black president. But, you are correct in one sense, now the people can see that a black POTUS can screw up the country just badly as a white one could, thats about as equal as one can get. ;)
