      Can we keep a running total of how many "Waterloo"s Obama is supposed to have had by now? Wasn't H1N1 a waterloo? Wasn't the health bill a waterloo?

      Man, broken record.

        Don't forget the IOC rejection of Chicago's Olympic bid.

      Aren't you right wingnuts getting tired of saying everything that Obama does is going to be his Waterloo? You have not been right yet and will not be right in the future. This is because you are all like Rush and nuts.

      Too funny. Wasn't there only one Waterloo? How many does the right think Obama will have? I lost count. Of course, as pilotshark said, they are missing that Obama is NOT on the losing side......

      Here's another bigot allowed to talk stupid all the time. What Rush should say is; I want this to be Obama's "waterloo". No, that's not enough for this idiot. He wants people to believe Obama "is weakening America's security based on contempt". Why would Limbaugh say such a thing without proof or evidence?
      Because Rush is not held responsible or accountable for what he says about this black President.
      Maybe if this bonehead had to prove what he say he would start making sense, but he doesn't, so why let facts and reality get in the way of the picture Rush wants to paint? That's how he thinks.

        Where is the American exceptionalism so often touted by the warhawks,neo-cons and rightwing conservatives?Shouldn'they have more confidence in our long established justice system to get it right?The cries from Limbaugh, Guliani,Pataki,Palin,even McCain, etc. make it seem like an inept, untried system.I had thought it was exceptional and the best example for fairly applying justice in the world.I hope their rhetoric hasn't made it even more challenging given how problematic the Bush administration's short sighted decisions has already made it.

          Yes, the founding fathers spent a lot of time putting together this system of justice. The current right wing clearly thinks they didn't do a very good job...

        WIN!

        Trusting our system to produce the best results is clearly showing contempt for America.

        If we really loved America we'd tear up the US Constitution. Remember when the right wing nutz loved to say "The Constitution is not a suicide pact?" Instead of "Give me Liberty or give me Death!" they wanted to knuckle under, destroy our way of life, and then brag about being patriots.

        All because terrorism was the greatest threat this nation ever faced.

        Well, the current crop of terrorists we have to deal with aren't even in the top five.

      ive already made this comment so im quoting myself on this:

      "see here is my thing......if we adhere to the radical right and treat these guys as WAR Criminals........then the World Court would have jurisdiction like the genocidal Milosevec......he was tried as a war criminal.

      neo cons should be careful what they wish for"

      These idiots have not expressed how having the trials in New York is going to erode national security, or how it opens us up for another attack, or how it makes NY a BIGGER target (hello, it was already targetted quite big time).

      Apparently, Limbaugh and other right wingers have no patience/trust in our justice system.

        Well, that's not exactly true, mag; they have plenty of faith and trust in it when one of their own is on trial and receives a favorable outcome -- or, even when they don't, gets a favorable one courtesy of the president.

      Who's the one who has "contempt for America" here? The guy who wants to do things by the book - by OUR book? Or the guy who thinks that our system of justice is somehow inadequate. That somehow jurisprudence and habeas corpus and fair trials and legal representation and human rights and ALL THE THINGS this country STANDS FOR AND FIGHTS FOR AND DEFENDS are somehow the CAUSE of our "problems?"

      ------------------------------------------------------------
      THIS is why I call them traitors. THIS is exemplary of how much THEY HATE this country, and it's values.
