In reply to the discussion: President Obama is NOT a tool of the banks/MIC, a liar or a murderous warmonger [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)Depends on where you stand; in this case, your opinion of President Obama. What I see is:
Poster 1) "I oppose the war on Syria!"
Poster 2) "Yeah, and President Obama is a tool of the MIC!"
Poster 1) "I didnt say that. I just that I don't think he's making a bad choice here. And I think making that argument, distracts from the issue of opposing war in Syria.
Poster 2) "Typical of authoritarian lackeys
unwilling to connect the puppetry dots with this president."
Poster 1) "What? No, I just don't think we should engage in another military adventure based on weak evidence. This is not about the why of the matter; but rather, the matter of the matter.
Poster 2) "But I have the right to speak truth to power/hand the President accountable, regarding his being a corporate tool!"
Poster 1) Whether you believe he is a corporate tool or not is irrelevant to whether the US enters this ill-advised conflict."
Poster 3) Only an authoritarian, corporate loving, 3rd way Centrist democrat (small D intended) would deny that this President is in league with the MIC!"
{Notice: Go back to the thread
despite his/her question Cant we do both, Poster 2, has not mentioned one word about Syria. But questions the motives of the OP, for not wishing to engage in President Obama = Bad talk.
