Silliest. Spin. Eva. "Pansy Politics: Captive Captain Saves President Obama"
:rofl:

From the scummy RedState blog...

Playing pansy politics with pirates put the Captain’s life at increased risk. His first escape attempt was thwarted by the thugs as Phillips remained adrift from the aid and cover of the US Navy, which sat restrained by an administration too cowardly to let slip the dogs of war. Each day the tension and humiliation of a nation grew. The emboldened pirates fired upon our men of action, who thus restrained could not yet act in kind. The terrorists’ defiant lack of fear inspired their fellows to target other American vessels. All while the community organizer in chief flipped through his conflict resolution handbook.

But here, at long last, the captive captain is free. He leapt clear and our faithful Navy, apparently at last free to take the safety off, rid the world of three contemptible degenerates and have the fourth in custody to question. So the bold leap into the sea frees the President of the burden to act.

In the end, Captain Phillips wasn’t saved by the President, but by his own courageous plunge and the deadly professionalism of our men with guns. The President, you see, was saved by the Captain.

2. Well, unlucky for them, it turns out the 'plunge' was actually a piss over the side of the boat.
Oh well.

3. Did they expect Obama to personally swoop in and save the guy?
Wow, what a total goon.

8. "too cowardly to let slip the dogs of war"?
Do they understand the context that phrase comes from? Obviously not.

10. Everything that happens is turned into some slam on Obama. It's silly.
Headline: Forest Fires Break Out

Freeper Response: Well, apparently Obama lied about protecting the environment. He doesn't want to protect the environment. He wants to burn the environment! All of it! In fact, he wants to burn all our homes down!! Yeah, that's the ticket. Then he's going to...to...burn babies!!! Right there in the burning streets!!! OMG!!!! Anyone who supports 0burner must be out of their mind!!!1!

12. I'll give RedState Credit for ONE thing
They discount the Birthers.

Beyond that, this blog post demonstrates they're every bit as desperate as the Birthers.

13. I heard that Obama personally ordered the captain to leap off the boat
to save his political fortunes. He called the captain on his cell phone. "Hope you can swim!" he was heard to say. And then he laughed maniacally, according to White House aides.

20. You wouldn't think Obama was capable of laughing maniacally
He's normally such a cool customer. But I heard it from an anonymous White House source. This source said Obama reminded him of Gargamel.

14. Unbeknowest to the general public
Big Fucking Hero of the Century George W. Bush was already On the scene.. He had swum to the side of the boat and yelled for the Captain to come out and Piss Down his Nazi Throat, whereupon the Seal snipers wasted the Pirates.. GW gets no credit at all as usual..

15. Well the rightwingers would have fired on the lifeboat immediately ensuring the captain's death
Obama used restraint and quietly allowed the Seals to get into position to take the pirates out. But these are the idiots that loved "shock and awe" so why are any of us surprised?
