- fixin, on 05/16/2008, -19/+147Unable to rationally argue with Obama on this issue (since Obama is clearly correct), McCain responded by calling Obama's reasoned and insightful statements a "hysterical diatribe" and outrageously stating that Obama thinks that the U.S. doesn't have any enemies.
I hope you disappointed Clinton supporters are watching - DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN OUT OF SPITE. HE WILL DRIVE THIS COUNTRY EVEN FARTHER INTO RUIN.

- DocOctavius, on 05/16/2008, -10/+70Whoa buddy- learn to use periods. Plus, you don't know what you're talking about.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -15/+68McCain = Bush
- inactive, on 05/16/2008, -18/+65Republicans don't even know the basic definition of appeasement.
Why do Republicans hate the English language? - tiroger, on 05/16/2008, -1/+39... wow... I'm speechless... I think my IQ dropped by 50 points just reading that.
- getbusyliving, on 05/16/2008, -3/+30I hope the majority of American's aren't as stupid as this person. Since Bush got elected again I have had my doubts.
Redeem yourselves with Obama '08. Marginalize retards like jamesbrownlord. - JlmAWP, on 05/16/2008, -3/+30You have so many things wrong with you, but I don't want to stress the new comment system by listing them.
Please don't vote.....or reproduce. - WasabiBomb, on 05/16/2008, -0/+26You keep posting this as if we should be bothered by it. Personally, I think it's high time we have a President who's willing to discuss matters like an adult, instead of using the military as his own personal megaphone.
War should be the LAST resort, not the first. - yodaj007, on 05/16/2008, -1/+26It's called "diplomacy"
- swrostmore, on 05/16/2008, -1/+25"Meet" = "appease" in GOP fantasyland.
- sandy77477, on 05/16/2008, -15/+35Sen Obama has consistenlty has been a staunch support of the Jewish community and has statd consistently is support of the Jewish state. Sen Obama has never avoided a question on his positons on specific issues. Sen Obama begain his candica y arguign the potints of the have nots. His positons on most issues are those that support helping the average individual get the leg up that they need to lessen the divide. Please go to www.barackobama.com and learn more about what he stands for. ont he direction of the wind.
- williamlee, on 05/16/2008, -2/+22"Candica y arguign." I'm sorry but I don't speak Spanish.
- Mard, on 05/16/2008, -2/+20Precisely right. Democrats need to bring the focus back to issues rather than the artificial outrages the media has tried to push our attention towards. Yet again, Republicans show they have no idea how to win this year by baiting the Democrats into discussing an issue that most Americans will side with the Dems on. Props to Obama for taking advantage of this excellent opportunity to nail Bush and McCain for what they have done to our country.
- Tex, on 07/28/2008, -15/+33I'm an Obama supporter, and even I'm getting tired of some of the frivolous HuffPost pieces making it to the front page lately.
- DeePsix501, on 05/16/2008, -6/+22This is honestly the debate we need to be having. We need to leave behind this Primary business and get to work fixing everything that is broken. We have a lot of work to do in all areas from Foreign Policy to our Economy and our Environment.
- yodaj007, on 05/16/2008, -1/+15Polly want a cracker? I'll make the same reply I made to your previous post:
It's called "diplomacy." - qwerter, on 05/16/2008, -0/+14Please don't insult those with down syndrome. Not cool.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -2/+16Ok, there's so many typing errors here I have to wonder if they were intentional...
- Gerz1219, on 05/16/2008, -0/+12Why is it categorically wrong for the president to meet with people we don't like?

Again, Neville Chaimberlain's mistake was not that he met with Hitler without preconditions. It was that he gave him most of Czechoslovakia. - Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -7/+18What's wrong with talking to people?
Diplomacy > War - qwerter, on 05/16/2008, -1/+12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy
- Fordi, on 05/16/2008, -2/+13Take a quick english class, possibly a course, then post again.
Seriously, you have a lot of english words, strung together in what can only be intended as sentences, but once you strip out the obvious falsehoods, there's not any meaning there. - WasabiBomb, on 05/16/2008, -3/+14Find a decent argument so we don't have to bury your comments.
- headzoo, on 05/16/2008, -1/+12@Dynamis - I think you're confusing "negotiate" with "talk to". No one has said anything about negotiating with terrorist.
- vanguardanon, on 05/16/2008, -5/+15Obama responded well but I wish he mentioned that Reagan spoke with the Russians all the time. If you invoke the beloved Reagan republicans will immediately STFU. There is no way to claim that talking to Russia didn't help achieve peace and glastnos.
- sasmon, on 05/16/2008, -2/+12Negotiations with rogue and enemy nations can work. Call it appeasement if you must, but consider the case of Egypt. After President Carter put his considerable diplomatic skills to work, Egypt, long an enemy of Israel, signed a treaty in 1978. In exchange, the US has provided Egypt with about $2 billion in economic aid. I believe it is the 3rd highest recipient of foreign aid following Russia and Israel. This may not do much for our pride, but it is appeasement and it has been carried out by every administration since. Aid numbers for the last decade have been declining and Egypt is still at peace with Israel. Egypt has become, with Jordan, one of the most cordial to Israel in the region. Conservative choose to frame this in black and white terms, but by doing this, you force countries and their populace, in other spheres of influence, to make decisions in those terms. Finding a middle ground, from which you can establish long term peace and economic and political stability should be our goal. Leaders of these "rogue" states may indeed turn out to be just as unreasonable as our own administration, but we should not continue without attempting a dialog to find out.
- ByteGuerilla, on 05/16/2008, -0/+9I think I speak for us all when I say, "whoosh".
- StarlessKnight, on 05/16/2008, -0/+9Do you think we shouldn't at least TRY before we start trying to decimate the country they reside in?
- Fordi, on 05/16/2008, -0/+9He also said he will not negotiate with governments that espouse and practice terroristic acts. Castro, Chavez, and Ahmadinejad are not doing so.
It's like you don't listen to what you link in context of the article.
Do you conflate conversation with appeasement, as Mr. Bush does? - headzoo, on 05/16/2008, -1/+101) If it was about Jimmy Carter (It wasn't), how is that any more right?
2) Bush's staff said he was talking about Obama immediately fallowing the speech, and they only changed their stance once everyone was going nuts over the comment.
But you go ahead and believe The White House's corrected stance. And you're calling _us_ brainwashed. - rholland356, on 05/16/2008, -7/+16Oh, the republicans know from appeasement. Remember this little bit of recent history?
It was 15 Saudis who attacked the USA on 9/11.
GW Bush served as appeaser-in-chief in the days after 9/11. He appeased the Saudis by letting flying them about the USA picking up friends and family to high-tail it outta there. US Citizens were grounded from air travel, while Bush's Saudi masters called the shots.
Bush appeasment of Saudi citizens has a long history. It is a Bush family tradition. - headzoo, on 05/16/2008, -2/+11Oh, they know what appeasement means. They're just hoping to throw around big scary words, and hoping that they embed themselves in the minds of the American people. Long after this has all blown over, there will see be many people (Mostly in W.V. apparently) that will still be thinking, "That Hussein is an appeaser! (Whatever that means)".
- drmobutu, on 05/16/2008, -5/+13Appease who? The Saudis?
- Gerz1219, on 05/16/2008, -3/+11Umm, every major news source has reported that Bush's aides admitted he was referring specifically to Obama. Then they changed their story after the outrage reminded the administration that it's not 2003 anymore.
- Infidelcastr0, on 05/16/2008, -7/+15Anyone see the Q&A he did with reporters a bit later, a bit dry on the usual Hope and Change chorus but gave a great demonstration of Obama's ability to deal with the press and unfounded criticism and give direct answers as well as a more in-depth discussion of policies, I think its safe to say that as president, Obama's press conferences would be a great deal less HILARIOUS than Bush's....... Which is a good thing.
- kingmanic, on 05/16/2008, -4/+12If he meets with them and hands over Iowa you then may have a point. Until then you are just a troll with problems with the definition of the word appeasement.
- brianjlowry, on 05/16/2008, -2/+10Why is he being buried again? Seriously?
- Mejari, on 05/16/2008, -0/+8Who's advocating sitting down with Osama? If any US agent, citizen or president gets within 20 feet of the man I would hope they leap across the room and strangle him right then and there. You could look for the rest of your life and never find an instance of Obama saying we should sit down with Osama bin Laden and have a friendly chat.
- DeePsix501, on 05/16/2008, -1/+9Thanks Mard, this topic has generaly been a Republican strongpoint especially in 2004. We really need to shut down this moronic idea. There is absolutely no harm in sitting down with someone, even your enemy, and talking with them. Since when has the Republican argument been that Diplomacy is bad?
- Jambi, on 05/16/2008, -6/+14The Clintons and their supporters generally strike me as petty; my guess is you'll see a lot of them voting for McCain come November.
- exronin, on 05/16/2008, -1/+9hahah you win.
- Vash3001, on 05/16/2008, -1/+9Buried for not being about hamburgers.
- WasabiBomb, on 05/16/2008, -3/+11Oh, so you think that Bush WASN'T referring to Obama when he made that statement?
Then who, exactly, was Bush talking about? - oldgal, on 05/16/2008, -0/+8Gee, makes me wonder why all those republican presidents talked to their Russian counterparts or why Nixon went to China. I have not heard anyone say they would sit down with Bin Laden - not sure where you got that one. Just because you have a hammer doesn't mean that everything you see is a nail (not original, but not sure who to attribute it to).
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -6/+14"Because Bush is right"
Holy ***** dude... I can't believe you just said that... - bjornski, on 05/16/2008, -1/+9Republicans don't know the meaning of the word.
- AuroraDark, on 05/16/2008, -5/+12Except that White House aides later confirmed that he was speaking about Obama.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -3/+10I absolutely think he has already changed politics in America and will continue to do so. It's about damn time we have a man with some integrity in the White House.
Serioulsy... - ryanisnotsuper, on 05/16/2008, -1/+8Can you imagine if we went through the entire cold war without talking to any of the Soviet Premieres?
