SP4: Obama's exact words.Jun 29th, 2009 - 21:17:30

'I was impressed with that statement because I view the law in much the same way. The problem I had is that when I examined Judge Roberts' record and history of public service, it is my personal estimation that he has far more often used his formidable skills on behalf of the strong in opposition to the weak.'

Yes Barak, and after his re-affirmation of the 2nd amendment, and his 8 to 1 against school strip searches and now the idea that you must be black to get a job, I'd say Barak, once again, shows his utter misunderstanding of personal rights.

So you fabricated your quote SP4.Jun 29th, 2009 - 21:57:14

You couldn't provide us with the quote as YOU wrote it. Because it wasn't real.

Obama didn't say ' ... he will not protect citziens rights'

You posted a FAKE quote in your first example SP4.!!!!!!!!

It shows that you're so slimy and wormy, that you'll make stuff up, and post it as truth (when it's not) because you can't control your urge to distort and smear SP4.

You have no credibility, SP4 ... you posted a made up quote. You are a liar!

Your second example is from Obama's speech as a Senator ... and when read 'in it's entirety,' it's hardly the slam that YOU MADE UP in your first example ...

The full speech in your second example, where Obama talks a lot about how much he respects Roberts ... can be found at ... obamaspeeches.com/031-Confirmation-of-Judge-John-Roberts-Obama-Speech.htm
Yes ... you are a liar SP4 ... you make up quotes with the intent to smear ... because you have no credibility or principles.

No he is a delusional liarJun 30th, 2009 - 07:27:12

Because he believes in what ever the GOP tells him.He is the only person in the world really believing the invasion of Iraq was motivated by the existence of WMD in Iraq.Only last week the english investigation into the Blair participation revealed even Bush himself knew that no WMD existed and was plotting to have one of his own U2 spyplanes painted in UN colors shot down ovr Iraq to provide an excuse to invade the country.How much more evdence does a sane person want that there were no WMD in Iraq.Yet wo continues to spread the delusional nonsense on the net ?Right,SP4 .
One can only wonder how a person can continue to fool himself after the tremendous amount of evidence already piled up in this case .

Why not simply admit what the whole world knows already:there are 5 GOP judges and 4 democrats,roughly stated.Inevitably their ideology is involved in decision taking.Hence the 5 to 4 ruling in this case,hence the opposition against Sotomayor.The GOP wants to keep the advantage on their side,it is all as simple as that.Today SP4 finds comfort in the ruling of the court.When tomorrow the ruling is reversed because so called 'libnazi' judges constitute the majority he will denounce the very court he acclaims today. What else to expect ?

...accclaim the court when it advances the cause of freedom and equality, as it just did. Obama said Roberts was not a man for the little guy, and in three separate cases, he has reaffirmed their rights, as opposed to the bolsheviks on the left.

Honestly, the idea that a man, of any race, can go to a public institution, take a test in good faith, and have it discarded because the winner is the wrong color should be abhorant to everyone, but the libnazi left seems to think this is OK.

thinks it's OK to stack the Court with rightwingnut neocon toadies, which is abhorrent to real people, but is OK with his neanderthal sort of sub human.

Yes, Sh*t Pile, that is how the word is spelled - abhorrent, not abhorant.
Even for a drug addicted, toe-tapping neocon, you are really stupid.

SP4 is wrong ... and a liar.Jul 1st, 2009 - 02:40:49

Hey SP1/4 of a brain ... I'm politicaly on the left, and I think these guys should not be denied the promotion just because they are white ... In my view, anytime race is part of the decision, it's inherently a racist decision.

There are many on the left who share that view.

So your uninformed characterization of 'libnazis', SP4 ... is flat out wrong ... you are wrong. (as usual).

You weak minded simpleton, SP4 ... You allow the likes of Rush Limp- baugh to plant false notions of people you refuse to understand in your tiny little, easily manipulated brain ... Then you regurgitate those false notions, as if you're some kind of expert. Ha!

There's a reason they call you ditto- heads ... it's because you don't think for yourselves!

Now that's abhorant!

What I also find abhorant is you posting FAKE QUOTES with the malicious intent to smear (as in your first post).

You are a liar SP4 ... a malicious liar of the worst kind.

You don't have the integrity to lecture anyone, on anything.

Go post your lies someplace else.

Hey SP4Jul 1st, 2009 - 09:45:10

Does your definition of freedom includes torture,wire-tapping;fiddling with the patriot act,invading countries and declaring war to them using lies and brainwashing techniques,creating a gigantic deficit in the state budget?Because that is exactly what your hero did.So no,none of those essential ingredients are necessary for your pompous self glorification.Your definition of freedom includes brainwash,torture,rhetoric sanctification of patriotism but avoiding to get drafted ,,adhesion for others than yourself to family values but making the exception for yourself,concentrating half the wealth of a nation into the hands of 1 percent of it's population ,denying health care to large parts of the population,denying union rights to the workers,denying them decent minimum wages , blaming immigrants for the consequences of the greed of the wealthiest ,and accepting poor education standards.That is part of your so called freedom.Guess what ?You and your neocon friends are not selling that recipe any more .Time out for you and your snake handling hypocrites,only 18 percent of the US population considers itself republican,and of those the new veil that is supposed to hide the old ideology is now called 'fiscal conservatism' .I guess the old label got polluted over the years .
We will never be able to find the right words in thanking you in participation to destroy your own party be posting your rancid stupid neocon brainwash here .You helped us a lot with your demonstration of how appaling your double standards are.THanks again.

Why bother anywayJul 1st, 2009 - 10:01:55

The remnants of the GOP are now tearing each other to pieces over subjects that are completely irrelevant to anybody but themselves:

In these troubled economical times they find nothing better to do.

It would appear that this site is turning into a banter between SP4 and whoever, trying to see who can best the other in names and crude comments. Rather boring to say the least now, so I'm gone like so many others before.

SP4: at leastJul 2nd, 2009 - 15:00:45

..there are five judges who understand the concept equality. Honestly, it is refreshing to see the libnazi elite in their true colors, selling out every other race and ethnicity. The only thing missing is the swastika. What is bewildering are the people who do not understand the concept of equality. Like his bro inthe white house, Clarence Thomas utterly missed the boat and went their way too. I suspect that the black culture reveres the concept of school as sacrosanct and that must have had something to do with it.

As for the GOP, they just forgot that it is their responsibility to serve the conservative movement, not the other way around and until they do, they will continue to do what they are doing, or we will go our own way. If thewy want a party more like the left, there is no reason for us to stay in it, and we have left them before.

In case after case, the revisionist court members have assaulted your rights, from the 2nd amendment, to property rights, to search and seizure and the roberts court has had the good sense to protect those rights, from the Bolshevik leftists like Ginsberg and the utter befuddlement of Souter.

So run along children, the conservative and moderate court is protecting your freedoms, whether you want them to or not.
