I am having a hard time with this one. Is he actually defending Obama? I can't come with a single way to read this comic that's meant to be a burn against Obama. Anyone else? How is the guy calling heart-ripping-out a pussy move not the stupid one?

Without having any idea what he's on about, I'd bet money that the person in question pledged support for muslim groups like, say, any given mosque, or the CAIR, that are currently being targeted by domestic white terrorists. IN OTHER WORDS THE DHS IS JOINING THE JIHAD IT'S TREASON I TELLS YA

Maybe he just said "no, DHS will not round up all Muslims into internment camps" or something. Remember, the DHS is Muir's shorthand for "bad Obama stormtrooper fascist brownshirt thug squad" so it wouldn't take much

CampingCarl posted:What was that quote from? I don't know what was said during the debate, but this is what Cruz said a week or so ago. Ted Cruz posted:We will utterly destroy ISIS. We will carpet bomb them into oblivion. I don’t know if sand can glow in the dark, but we’re going to find out. And we are going to make abundantly clear to any militant on the face of the planet, if you wage jihad against the United States of America and try to murder innocent Americans, you are signing your death warrant.

Lord Hydronium posted:Oh, don't worry, he explained in the debate that it's a precision carpet bombing that only hits ISIS and not any cities. Ah i see, almost like the bombs are... focused on a target of interest? Maybe "guided" is the right word? If only Obama had thought of executing a focused air campaign of bombing specific ISIS targets

If you hot sand enough, you can get glowing sand, also glass. All kids playing minecraft know this. It don't need to be a atomic bomb.

But with moderate-GOP-approved plausible deniability. "I was just saying our bombing campaign should be more aggressive in key areas" when the absolute moronic nature of what he clearly was saying is ever discussed.

I don't care how many of their civilians we have to bomb to deter them from bombing our civilians. The only thing we can do is escalate until they back down.

 From Wikipedia: quote:After leaving the military, Trudell had become involved in Indian activism. In 1969, he became the spokesperson for the United Indians of All Tribes' occupation of Alcatraz Island. This was a mostly student-member group that had developed in San Francisco. Trudell went to Alcatraz a week after the occupation started. He used his background in broadcasting and ran a radio station from the island through a cooperative arrangement with students at the University of California, Berkeley, broadcasting at night over the Berkeley FM station. The show was called Radio Free Alcatraz. He discussed the cause of the occupation and American Indian issues, and played traditional Native American music. He criticized how "the system today is only geared toward white needs."[citation needed] quote:His music draws from a blend of styles, including rock, blues and native beats, pop and political protest songs. He also draws from his own poetry. His music can be both insightful and funny.[citation needed]

How is the guy calling heart-ripping-out a pussy move not the stupid one? Obama didn't even suggest tearing the heart out and eating it like a real man. How can we trust someone whose metaphors aren't bloodthirsty enough to suit our disturbing fantasies?! Internet Webguy posted:I'm wondering if Cruz has already informed the Pentagon of his "target the bad guys" strategy. Seems like a real winner, surprised nobody has tried it before. Clearly the only reason that bombs and bullets haven't solved the problem is because we just haven't been using them precisely enough. Cruz shows his tactical genius by pointing this out.

Every day my wife walks to the local transit station and every day I'm worried about drunk drivers, tired drivers, distracted drivers or just plain bad drivers running her over when she's crossing the street. Pretty much every week she has somebody have to slam on their brakes because when they were turning right on a red they didn't bother to check the crosswalk for pedestrians. You know what I never worry about? ISIS attacking her place of work. The people of this country have terrible risk analysis.

It's been pretty remarkable watching it blossom into a perennial thread favorite. mandatory lesbian posted:whoa whoa whoa hold the phone, nickelodeon was a place?
