If you don't support the president in a time of war, you are unpatriotic!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

It's true!11!

Sean Hannity said it today, and Now Cheney is reinforcing it! What a coincidence!

I guess from now on if presidential support wanes, all the pres needds to do is start a war.

Christ, I'm tired of this crap.

1. The people who believe that are already lost anyway.

8. Hey, J J, welcome to DU! nt

2. Is It Patriotic To Send Thousands To Their Death For A Lie?

[MrSlayer]

3. Yes, like they supported Clinton on Kosovo.

I remember Hannity and Rush saying the same things back then.

[readmylips]

4. I guess that makes Cindy Sheehan unpatriotic....

Mr. foker cheney, you slime, lowly scumbag...I can't say any more.

[AlCzervik]

5. Criticizing Bush is just that---Bush, it has noting to do with the troops

or America. As Rove would say "Bush is fair game"

[Straight Shooter]

6. Actually, it's unpatriotic to believe anything Sean Hannity says. n/t

[indepat]

7. If that maxim applies to a war of choice based on lies, we can always be

at war and nobody could ever question anything W's Administration does. What's missing here?

[Der Blaue Engel]

9. So...63% of Americans are now unpatriotic

Interesting perspective. :crazy:

[MGKrebs]

10. I know. And I feel bad about it.

Perhaps it would be best to just shoot me now.
On the other hand, Hannity could kiss my ass.

11. And these were the same folks castigating Clinton for US involvement in

Kosovo. Funny, they didn't have a problem with not supporting the President then.

And didn't the Repubs previously criticize Clinton for bombing Iraq in 1998? Clinton bombed Iraq in response for Saddam refusing to let the UN inspectors do their job in Iraq. Of course at that time the Repubs said Clinton's actions were a case of "wag the dog," an attempt to divert from his own domestic problems.

And of course Cheney crticized the Clinton administration's policies against Iran, Iraq, etc. back in the day. Cheney was a proponent for dropping sanctions against regimes like Iran, Iraq, Libya. It didn't stop him as CEO of Haliburton from doing business with them via offshore cutouts, but still business is business and "rogue terrorist states'" money is just as good as anyone elses.

And now the Repubs are using Clinton's statements and actions to justify their invasion of Iraq. Jeez. It's simply dizzying watching them spin.

12. Actually

being patriotic has to do with allegiance to one's country. I don't consider Dubya the legitimate president, anyway. And I'm surprised...no, make that SHOCKED...that Hannity and Cheney are making the same points. Anybody would think they put out talking points, or something, and all jump on the same bandwagon.

Maybe we'd better turn ourselves in to the closest reeducation camp, d'ya think? I know it gets exhausting, listening to the same lies and distortions, day after day, but on the other hand, the more they talk, the more people are waking up to their lies.

I think the shriller they get, the more support they lose. Pitiful, though, that they chose to hide behind the flag, and our troops, because they are such cowards. They can't be gone soon enough for me.

13. If you support liars in this time of lying presidents, you R unpatriotic

IMO

[mrcheerful]

14. So whats new with repukes

every time the repukes are caught at something during war its your anti american to speak out against it. We saw a lot of that during 1968 until the end of the war. Not only that but everything going on is exactly like what tricky Dick said and did after Water Gate broke. Remember it was the Dem's fault for Water Gate and you were anti american for wanting answers from the white house. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
