96. I'm sorry but no matter how I try to parse Obama's words, I feel
Edited on Tue May-10-11 09:55 PM by coalition_unwilling
like he is insulting me and many others like me on this forum and suggesting that because we have questions about what went down, we are somehow mentally unsound.

For example, I question whether OBL "deserved what he got" (Obama's words in the statement on "60 Minutes"). What OBL deserved was a trial in front of a duly constituted and competent legal authority. What OBL got was a summary execution.

Does that mean Obama thinks I should have my head examined? Funny, I don't recall him or his campaign saying anything like that during the 2008 campaign. This idea that, simply because someone questions the official narrative, he or she is somehow mentally unsound is very dangerous to the functioning of a democratic republic. And that is what makes both Obama's and Kerry's statements two peas in a pod and unbefitting any political party to which I would wish to give my support.

BTW, in your post you say "the ethics of killing Obama." I'm certain that was a slip of the tongue\pen and easy enough to do. Not sure if you can correct it or maybe ask one of the mods to edit it for you if the editing window has closed. Wouldn't want you getting a visit from the Secret Service :)
