Liz Cheney demands Obama reverse position that unnecessary death is "tragic"

Liz Cheney desperately needed to find some excuse to fault Barack Obama for not being Cheney-ish enough in his response to the Israeli flotilla attack. There's only one problem: In American politics, Republicans and Democrats agree that Israel can and must shoot whomever it wants to -- even American citizens! -- to protect itself from the very real threat posed by the potential delivery of toys to desperately impoverished Palestinians.

So Obama's response has been tepid and "neutral" (read: pretty much toothless). So Liz is just grabbing onto whatever she can to convince Americans that the president is not willing to do what it takes to protect us from... some sort of nuclear slingshot aimed at America, from Gaza (or perhaps a "sharpened pole" long enough to reach our shores):

This is what she came up with:


Yesterday, President Obama said the Israeli action to stop the flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip was "tragic." What is truly tragic is that President Obama is perpetuating Israel's enemies' version of events. The Israeli government has imposed a blockade around Gaza because Hamas remains committed to Israel's destruction...

President Obama is contributing to the isolation of Israel, and sending a clear signal to the Turkish-Syrian-Iranian axis that their methods for ostracizing Israel will succeed, and will be met by no resistance from America.

[Frustratedlady]

4. I haven't noticed, but did Liz Baby ever acknowledge Obama caught or

killed several al Qaeda over the past couple weeks?

I forgot. She doesn't recognize Obama as being effective in any way.

If he's doing such a bad job, why doesn't Daddy take his two girls to that hidey hole called home? Where is he, by the way? Still in Saudi?

5. Hey Liz, you have a lot of DUers on your side this time! Well done!

[demtenjeep]

10. what?

[Bitwit1234]

6. Gee wonder if she would volunteer

to be Bush's Guinea pig to see if water boarding makes people tell the truth. I doubt if even that would make her shut up.n Shows how much of a chicken tho Cheney is. He can't speak for himself he has to have his daughter do it for him....with those five deferments for Viet Nam we always thought he was a COWARD, now we know it.

7. She's a vile and loathsome piece of work, isn't she?

Probably has daddy issues as well seeing as how hard she wants to prove the poison fruit doesn't fall far from the tree of sickness.

[emulatorloo]

13. Her mom Lynne is just as bad. Another vile liar who will say anything

So she has a "good" pedigree for this sort of thing.

8. Get a life, Liz. Aren't you tired of being a bottom feeder?

If the M$M in this country had any integrity at all, they would have tossed your sorry but to the news desk trash can long ago, like a used condom you have nothing of value to offer anyone.

Shut the hell up and go the hell away. Your family is a DISGRACE to this country. And if we had an administration in office with any balls at all, your Daddy and his cohorts would be up on charges of war crimes right now, among others.

You have NO ROOM to talk. What have you ever contributed to humanity? Shut. The. Hell. Up.

9. She must be off her medication again...

Mentally ill people are bad about thinking they're cured and they stop taking their pills.

Maybe some electro shock therapy would help.

11. What's tragic is how much money is to be made being a RW talking head

and it is so easy too.
