Bush's Poodle endorsed Hillary?

[grasswire]

Has anyone seen the endorsement from Tony Blair?

[grasswire]

1. another war criminal in her resume. nt

[BreakfastClub]

61. ...and in Obama's?

"So the chameleon lives on. Tony Blair, the closest world leader to George Bush, was this morning awarded "first friend" status by Barack Obama.

At the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, Obama lavished praise on Blair, who was the principal speaker."

[Buzz Clik]

2. Who cares who a Brit former pol endorses?

One way or another, it's meaningless.

[grasswire]

4. except he's a war criminal......and.....Kissinger. nt

[NWCorona]

6. They want to forget about that part.

[Buzz Clik]

15. Good point! Blair is a war criminal because you convicted him in your mind.

Everyone opposed to Bernie is either a criminal, 1%er, Republican, or some combination of the three.

[NWCorona]

17. Obviously he hasn't been tried but would you say the same about Bush and Cheney?

[Buzz Clik]

24. Have fun.

[NWCorona]

27. And you do the same and I mean that

No reason to take this serious or personal.

[Buzz Clik]

14. Oh, yes. I forgot. We have an enemies list. Just like somebody else we know.

[grasswire]

35. you mean Hllary?

I don't know Richard Nixon, and find it a bit shocking that you would admit to doing so.

[Buzz Clik]

38. LOL!

God, I love you people.

In response to my post, I expect you to say something like, "So you admit Hillary murdered Vince Foster." This is a helluva more entertaining than television, but far less productive.

[whatchamacallit]

18. Who cares?

How about the supporters who've been posting lists of high profile endorsements daily since the race began? Why not own this one?

[Buzz Clik]

26. "Why not own this one?" Own? I have to own HRC's endorsements? Starting when?

Regardless, he's British, retired, and of no influence in this country at all.

If you want to have a heart attach about this, help yourself, but it's on you and you alone.

[whatchamacallit]

30. You're the one who galloped into the thread to disavow the endorsement

I'm happy he did it. Maybe you should manage to your own stress levels lol.

[sabrina 1]

19. He's a War Criminal. Part of the neocon element whose wars Hillary so enthusiastically supports.

Nice little group of admirers she has. I care btw, I want all these people prosecuted, from Kissinger to the Bush gang to Blair and all those who have the blood of millions (Kissinger alone has millions of people's deaths on HIS hands) on their collective hands.

So yeah, it matters. Thank the gods not a single War criminal has endorsed my candidate. I would be extremely upset and look deeply at where my candidates stands on war crimes if that were the case.

[Buzz Clik]

28. "War criminal" is pretty specific. Care to list his convictions?

[sabrina 1]

31. How do you feel about the Khmer Rouge? For starters ... I can't answer what seems to me

to be a sarcastic question without making sure that is what it was.

[Buzz Clik]

33. Whoopee! Two degrees of separation between Pol Pot and Tony Blair.

[sabrina 1]

34. So you acknowledge that Henry Kissinger IS a war criminal who bears responsibility

for the deaths of millions of innocent human beings? Good, that's a beginning.

I find your amusement at Pol Pot and the Kissinger's 'green light' to the Khmer Rouge to be extremely disturbing btw. Even more disturbing is Hilary's boast that Kissinger the War Criminal is her 'mentor'.

But back to Blair. Blair is still under investigation in his own country for his role in the War Crime that was Iraq. At least they put on a SHOW in the UK of pretending to care about War Crimes. We don't even pretend anymore.

The degrees of separation between Blair and Pol Pot? Well let's see, the UK refused to extradite the old War Criminal Pol Pot for trial in his native country, protecting him from his deserved fate and allowing him to die peacefully in his bed.

Do you support Hillary's association with Pol Pot's enabler, Kissinger btw?

And did you support the Iraq War Crime based on lies told by War Criminals and Torturers? Just wondering considering your amused response to the mention of the horrific, genocidal Khmer Rouge?

[Buzz Clik]

39. You were going to list the war crime convictions for your growing list of villains:

Kissinger

Blair

Bush

Cheney

Still waiting. Just one crime conviction by just one of them? Just a little bitty one? Let's start with Kissinger.

btw, love how you now have just one degree of separation between Hillary and Pol Pot.

[sabrina 1]

57. Thanks, that's what I thought.

.

[Buzz Clik]

58. No doubt.

[sabrina 1]

60. True, I didn't really have much doubt. But I always like to give people the opportunity to speak

for themselves before reaching a final conclusion.

To repeat. I am very glad my candidate doesn't consort with or seek advice from War Criminals. One of the main reasons why as a Democrat, i support him.

[Buzz Clik]

65. About that:

I am very glad my candidate doesn't consort with or seek advice from War Criminals. One of the main reasons why as a Democrat, i support him.

Newsflash: neither Dem candidate consorted with war criminals. That's the whole point of this subthread.

[senz]

47. One of the definitions of "criminal" is "morally wrong."

[Buzz Clik]

48. Are you attempting to playing semantics with me? No thanks.

And you will note the conversation moved on prior to your clumsy parsing of words.

[senz]

49. What?? No, I'm trying to get you to understand

that an act can be considered "criminal" whether or not it has incurred a conviction.

I hope I don't have to explain that to you.

[Buzz Clik]

67. Hells bells! You can call me an astronaut, but if I've never ridden a rocket, I'm not an astronaut.

What part of this don't you understand?

[senz]

69. I believe you objected to the use of the word "criminal."

Websters:

: involving illegal activity : relating to crime

: relating to laws that describe crimes rather than to laws about a person's rights

: morally wrong

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/criminal

Try to understand, Buzz Clik, that in English, words can have multiple meanings, all of them legitimate. When someone calls Kissinger a criminal, it does not necessarily mean that he has been processed through the court system. For example, one could call Hitler's actions criminal, yet he was not convicted of anything.

[sabrina 1]

66. There are no semantics involved when it comes to Kissinger and the Khmer Rouge. His own

recorded words condemn him. Easy to find if genocide is an issue for people, which apparently it is. He is wanted for questioning for his role in the deaths of millions of people. I wonder why he won't go and defend himself? Just the fact that he cannot travel without fear of arrest plus his own words as he sent assurances to the Khmer Rouge that the 'US wouldn't be stopping them' is enough for people of conscience all over the world

[Buzz Clik]

68. And he was convicted of this.... when? Where?

This is still your fantasy based on nothing.

You can call him amoral, beneath contempt, or whatever. But calling him (Kissinger) a war criminal is a very specific charge with very specific meaning, and you cannot demonstrate that Kissinger fits the bill.

And to somehow associate HRC with his non-existent crimes is beyond laughable.

[Cleita]

56. If there had been convictions he would be in prison but there weren't any

trials. However, let's talk about unrevenged victims. How about Salvador Allende of Chile? Ring a bell? Google the first 9/11 in Chile about 1972. Just because he got away with it doesn't make him any less a criminal and then there are so many more in Asia and Central America.

[John Poet]

3. I thought Hillary WAS Bush's poodle?

[msanthrope]

5. A not-so-subtle way of calling a woman a very sexist name? Was that deliberate? nt

[John Poet]

11. Uh, no.

As in Bush's pet, Bush's best friend, Bush's lackey...

If I meant something else, I'd come right out and say it, I'm not shy.

[sabrina 1]

22. Don't waste your time. That is what Hillary does, and her supporters follow her example. She whines

constantly about being a victim something that a lot has been written about. It's a ploy, but all it does for THIS woman is to make me cringe. If she can't take what a man is expected to take, it only confirms why she is losing the Women's vote, playing the victim isn't what we need in a LEADER.

Your comment was fine

[John Poet]

63. Remember the time someone called her "chicken",

and certain posters insisted THAT was "sexist"?

LMAO

Morons.

[sabrina 1]

64. Everything is sexist or racist to Hillary and her campaign. Of course it ISN"T but they still

think that is a winning strategy even though it failed last time.

Anyone remember 'Obama Boys' in 2008? When a campaign has to rely on divisive tactics which have zero basis in fact, you know they have nothing else.

[msanthrope]

25. Oh...you've called her a dog. But that's not a dogwhistle for a very sexist term?

Was I mistaken?

[Svafa]

29. Yes you were,

because it was clearly a reference to the verbiage used by the OP.

[John Poet]

62. Yes, you are.

Or pretend to be.

[Wilms]

20. Would you like me to get a spoon for you?

Ya know. To stir shit with.

[sabrina 1]

21. So women are too FRAIL to be president, is what you're saying? I don't agree but i do think

a woman who is always whining about BEING a woman and yelling 'leave me alone I'm a woman, I'm sensitive, don't call me Naaaaaames' is not presidential material.



I love it when Hillary supporters do this. It only emphasizes that she is not the woman who should be our first female president

7. Tony the Poodle: I support the Senator from New York who voted for war with me.

Tony Blair: I support Hillary

By NICK GASS
POLITICO 02/23/16

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is supporting Hillary Clinton for the presidency and compared the popularity of Bernie Sanders to the current leader of his Labour Party.

“I think Hillary’s a very strong, capable person and I’m a supporter of hers, but who the Americans choose is up to them," Blair said in a joint interview with The Guardian and the Financial Times published Tuesday. "It’s not wise to get into that.”

Such a lovely war. I mean "opportunity."

[UglyGreed]

13. What a horrible greedy mess

36. thank you

That was kind of half-hearted, it seems.

Do dogs have souls? Poodle knows his owner dropping him off at animal control doesn't necessarily mean he's there for the manicure.

8. I think Tony Blair

[olddots]

16. this is really unfair to poodles

[hifiguy]

23. Tony bLIAR is a craven little shit.

A piece of walking excrement, and a corrupt, toadying little enabler of crimes against humanity.

Who gives a single happy monkey fuck what that turd thinks about anything?

32. A poodle endorsed Hillary?...

I thought they only Dancercized...........

[senz]

43. LOL! Where do you find these?

I couldn't resist posting The Lapdog Academy School For Dancercizing Poodles

That was priceless, but at the same time stupifying.

Shame on that alerter.

53. Yeah seems like people who feel victorious wouldn't need to do that.

Unless perhaps they're jealous of those who are supporting a truly good person ...?

42. 3rd way warmonger endorses 3rd way warmonger

[Kittycat]

45. +3

[senz]

46. On a more serious note...

Tony Blair was complicit with Dubya; they did horrible things together. It was ugly.

So it's not surprising that Blair would want to team up with Hillary.

Everyone knows how chummy the Bushes are with the Clintons. Bush probably introduced Hill to Tony. Ew: while she was ostensibly a Democratic senator.

This is gross. With Hillary, every bit of news gets worse and worse. A "Clinton" term would probably resemble another Bush term. Maybe we'd be treated to another 9/11 event to solidify control of the populace.

I remember Bush's 2nd inauguration day, his limo speeding past booing crowds holding signs that read, "Worst President Ever," tomatoes pelting the limousine, a dark snowy day of misery. If Hillary gets that far, I could see the same reception for her. Except she'd probably have the crowds frisked and kept at a greater distance.
