- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -11/+36Hawkish? As if Obama isn't?
Holy *****, Obama talks of sending a surge into Afghanistan, keeping 50,000 troops behind in Iraq after his great "withdrawal", and using military force if needed in Iran (just as Bush has been saying).
Jesus, can the Huffington Post ignore more of Obama's less than flattering statements (or down-right change of plans)? They paint him to be a person that will fight the enemy with hugs and kisses, when in reality his Middle East policy is starting to mirror the Bush Administration.
At this point, his "Hope and Change" should be "you really hoped I'd change things didn't you". - BohicaTwentyTwo, on 07/25/2008, -6/+30I fail to see this as a valid comparison. Is the author suggesting that McCain's talk about victory is just that? That he really plans to surrender in Iraq, like Nixon did in Vietnam.
I guess this means HuffPoo is abandoning the "McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years" line. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -7/+31Man it would be so cool if there was a way to see all of these huffingtonpost stories on one site...without having to wait 25 seconds for them to make the front page of Digg.
Has Huffington Post considered starting it's own website? - MrFurious2k, on 07/25/2008, -19/+41Huffingspam post. buried.
- TheHaggard, on 07/25/2008, -5/+25Remember that guy Kennedy? Didn't he get us into Vietnam? Wasn't he a Democrat?
What about that guy Lyndon Johnson? Didn't he escalate the war to it's highest level? hmmm
When Nixon took office in 1968 there were 500,000+ troops in Vietnam, averaging over 1200 Americans killed in action per month.
By the end of 1971 there were 157,000 troops in Vietnam with the average number killed in combat having dropped to an average of 123 per month.
The number of troops in Vietnam on election day 1972 was 27,400. The monthly average of American soldiers killed had dropped to 22.
Nixon also got rid of the draft, re-introducing the all-volunteer army.
Put that in your Huffington Post and smoke it. - Arkons24, on 07/25/2008, -14/+33Buried as Obamaganda.
- Badandy127, on 07/25/2008, -10/+263 Huffington Post articles on the front page right now.
Along with thinkprogress and mediamatters.
Can't we get some other perspectives besides the HuffPo sluts digging everthing they see? - vexingmodstwo, on 07/25/2008, -14/+28Obamamonica spam. Buried.
- Kikokun, on 07/24/2008, -26/+40he's a madman, a political corpse.
but then, in USA that means he has a shot at running the country. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -10/+24HUFF HUFF AND AWAY AGAIN!!!
Huffington again quoting someone ELSE other than mccain and claiming it's Mccain himself.
This isnt Vietnam, we arent fighting a separate government, we have support of the military of that country.
Now if Huffington ever stated any correct facts or did an actual comparison - THAT WOULD BE A NEWS STORY!! - fromaworld, on 07/25/2008, -8/+21How does this sorry excuse for a "story" make it to the front page so quick???
- jfej004, on 07/25/2008, -8/+21Obama isn't a war president? Umm did you hear his speech yesterday?
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -7/+17Hahahuffingtonpost.com - buried.
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -4/+13Yet, Obama is different? You realize that in the last few weeks he's gone from complete and immediate withdrawal, to 16 months of withdrawal, to after the withdrawal we'll keep 50,000 troops on the ground in Iraq.
- Labyrinth336, on 07/25/2008, -0/+9that is the sweetest word ever... Obamaganda.. digg for you sir!
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -0/+9No one who reads and HuffPo is interested in the truth.
- SwedishNinja, on 07/25/2008, -1/+9Agreed. I think at this point, Adrianna Huffington is just trolling, and the majority of the users on Digg are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
- smittie, on 07/25/2008, -5/+13From JohnMcCain.com:
The best way to secure long-term peace and security is to establish a stable, prosperous, and democratic state in Iraq that poses no threat to its neighbors and contributes to the defeat of terrorists. When Iraqi forces can safeguard their own country, American troops can return home. - smittie, on 07/25/2008, -3/+10If you believe that Obama will end or even reduce our participation in war, you're not paying attention. Obama wants the US out of Iraq so that he can increase the number of troops in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The only change here is the WHERE. - horatiolust, on 07/25/2008, -14/+21Huffington Post, ThinkProgress, RawStory, Daily Kos
Unfair and imbalanced
But Dugg up by Digg-nuts
Yawn - joeyjojo, on 07/25/2008, -0/+7"Why are you all so worried that Obama is going to lose?"
Because the media, combined with a good chunk of the voting population in this country lack basic reasoning skills. The fact that Bush was reelected says a lot about our collective intelligence in this country.
The democrats could be running the second coming of Jesus with Elvis as the VP and the right could still manage to smear them in a way that folks would vote for whoever was on the GOP ticket.
All that said, the article linked isn't really a smear article. It's a well written piece referencing some interesting historical politics. - stevetrojanman, on 07/25/2008, -1/+8Unfortunately...this is news to a large portion of the Digg population...
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -1/+7HuffPo and Think Progress are the news outlets for the weak minded people. To bad most reside here on digg.
I would venture a guess that if it weren't for digg, they'd fold. - MasterTroll, on 07/25/2008, -14/+21Whatever, both candidates suck anyways.
- joeyjojo, on 07/25/2008, -1/+7"land of the sissies and over taxed"
That is such a compelling argument for reasonable political discourse. You should be a Fox News pundit. - fromaworld, on 07/25/2008, -1/+6Hope for change... You can hope all you won't, but I doubt Obama is actually going to change anything.
All his positions on Iraq are based on politics and campaigning not on the actual reality of national defense. It's all about what looks good. - flink405, on 07/25/2008, -0/+5In Berlin yesterday Obama said Europeans must send more troops into Afghanistan to fight the people of Afghanistan.
Obama wants to take the troops out of Iraq and move them into Afghanistan.
(But curiously he says adding more troops to Iraq did not work. So why does he think it will work in Afghanistan?)
More U.S. troops are now being killed in Afghanistan than in Iraq. - busybrain, on 07/25/2008, -6/+11This Huffington ***** is really starting to bug me. 4 Stories on the front page.
It's starting to feel like spam. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -1/+6Digg carries HuffPo on it's back
- ORD2FRA, on 07/25/2008, -6/+11Obama's "umms" and "ahhs" is torture on my ears... it's like an audio version of Gtimo.
- bunit03057, on 07/25/2008, -0/+5People who disagree with you and have a sense of humor are uneducated? Where is your degree from?
- psdabfm, on 07/25/2008, -12/+17Haha, another liberally biased article about McCain, when will these idiots realize that Obama's liberal agenda to keep the world safe for democracy is the ultimate threat to OUR country?
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -1/+5Not sure
Because Mccain didn't say that! Or do we bother to read articles anymore? - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -1/+5The US lost in Vietnam?
- Arkons24, on 07/25/2008, -0/+4I have an education, a job and a life. That's why I'm voting for the person who is going to lower taxes for my bracket, spur on the economy and take as much useless money as possible from wasteful social programs that ***** up our economy.
Let me guess ... you went to and took some ***** liberal arts major where your professors were pin-wearing commies that taught you how capitalism and America ***** the world. You therefore missed out on all the classes based in reality (e.g. economics) and instead opted for the ones based in unicorn popcorn and cotton candy *****.
Yea, nice education. - danielleobaker, on 07/25/2008, -17/+21everybody needs to stop hating on mccain
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -7/+11So it's a fantasy. Sounds like very other right wing policy, moonbeams and fart gas.
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -0/+4Which policies of Senator Obama are leftist? As a leftist I would be interested in voting for him if he were in fact a leftist.
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -1/+5Lots of RNC employees trashing HuffPo. Very few that defend McCain.
Anyone surprised? - Srmoocow, on 07/25/2008, -1/+4"Why are you all so worried that Obama is going to lose?"
Because if he does we're all pretty *****. - Zanzabar33, on 07/25/2008, -1/+4this is coming from a guy who has the word algae and turd in his name... he just radiates maturity and what he calls "education." Your sir are pathetic... Obama is a weak candidate in an empty suit... My candidate may be old... but what else? You just show everyone how moronic you are in your post..yeah he is old... people age... most educated people would understand that principle... but apparently to you that is a mysterious phenomenon that occurs with McCain...
your pathetic and nobody takes your words seriously on digg... have a nice life alone :) - phorden, on 07/25/2008, -10/+13McCain is ***** crazy.
Obama says things and does the opposite.
Both candidates suck. I'm voting independent. - Labyrinth336, on 07/25/2008, -1/+4Uneducated, huh? ** Walks over to his masters degree and sprays some windex **
Dont be pissed off at me because I opted for a university degree and didn't get my degree from ITT Tech or Devry like you did....
And do you have severe down syndrome?.. because you have like 10 anti-mccain/bush rants all within the same hour... so you bitch about people sitting on digg apparently being paid? you apparently sit on digg and cry to the masses... grow the ***** up hypocrite... you give liberal people a bad name.. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -1/+4No one dies in an abortion.
Trickle down economics has never worked.
I already knew Obama is to the left of the ***** insane right wing. I'm asking what policies of his are actually leftist. - shagmin, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3I was hoping someone mentioned that. Just to add a little fuel to the fire, don't forget the failure that was the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis nearly bringing about a nuclear holocaust.
Then Nixon came along and met with the leaders of the USSR and China and started more peaceful negotiations. - coolkatz321, on 07/25/2008, -4/+7I agree that McCain isn't as diabolical as Nixon, but he's also nowhere near as intelligent. As big a scumbag as he was, Nixon was incredibly bright; McCain on the other hand is about as stupid as the ***** in office right now.
- Dibou, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3Who really knows what Obama will do? I don't think even Obama knows that.
He just says what he thinks will get him elected. He knows liberals will vote for him no matter what he says, no matter what promises he breaks, no matter what his actions show, no matter who his friends are. He is now just pandering to the rest of America hoping he can fool them long enough to get elected.
What will happen then nobody knows. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -4/+7when in an article, the author actually makes a comment to Senator McCain, I believe he throws out his journalistic integrity. Besides, the Huffington Post is nothing more then an over glorified blog full of opinions, spam and buried.
- algaeturd, on 07/25/2008, -1/+4Seriously. When did Digg become a bunch of paid shills for ol' Cotton jowls? Really?
REALLY? You haven't had enough of losing your homes and paying 4X too much for gas.
You want MORE? Honestly?
You guys won't stop until this country is buried and gone, will you? That's your end goal, isn't it?
An education would go a LONG way for you idiots. You don't understand war, foreign policy, economics or much of anything else, do you?
And how old are you shills? Old enough to be retired so you don't have to be at work during the day obviously. It's crazy that Digg has been taken over by the uneducated, the obnoxious, the mislead and disinformed. So sad and such a sign of the times. McCain will never win though. Even his supporters will tell you that. While the majority of this country was crazy /uneducated enough to vote in W twice (don't lie! You helped!) those people learned their lesson after they lost their homes and cars due to his bungling of the whole economy and this extensively failed war.
Enjoy! Can't wait until Obama steps in and sets this country straight. Maybe you guys will even have enough cash to take some courses at the local community college or get your GEDs finally. After all these years. That would be awesome. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3Obama as president is also a scary thought...
