What war criminals are "redeemed" if they support your candidate?
Just wondering if there's a list of the most heinous torturers and systematic conspirators that will instantly be forgiven with the magic wave of your redeeming wand?

1. If Cheney endorses Obama all is forgiven.

2. Is this a facetious question or are you just being obtuse?
I doubt anyone here supports any war crime no matter who commits it...

6. They can endorse Obama all they want but...
that doesn't negate their past actions anymore than their denials and change of heart did at Nuremburg.

9. Pol Pot, Hitler, Gottlob Berger, Adolf Eichmann...
Pol Pot, Hitler, Gottlob Berger, Adolf Eichmann, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, and Ratko Mladic just to name a few.

For me, I receive a visceral satisfaction in responding to an absurd and petulant question with an absurd and petulant answer...

10. If Alaric King of the Visigoths endorses publicly and stumps for Obama
Then I am willing to forget the whole sacking-of-Rome thing.

11. Let's storm D.C. and redeem all the war criminals!
All it takes is for the criminal to support your candidate! Forget torture, conspiracy to commit war, passive genocide, illegal propaganda, operation Message Force Multiplier, 1000s of dead Americans, 10,000s wounded Americans, 2 trillion dollars profiteered: you have to power to redeem it all with the magic wave of your redeeming hand!

14. OK, I'll let war crimes "rest", just pretend they never happened
and live life in denial like you do.

18. Redemption comes from...
Redemption comes from within, not from without.

Only one person can redeem themselves-- that being that person.
Forgiveness on the other hand...

15. Can I be honest?
Powell's endorsement of Obama was a big negative for me. Powell is a liar and a warmonger, and he has been in league with some of the most dangerous sociopaths ever to run the country. I just can't feel good about that.

His endorsement of any candidate is a negative - and I find it troubling, to say the least. Just my opinion, of course.
