Abu Ghraib v/s Waco

[Nie Trink Wasser]

if they're screaming "Fire Rumsfeld" why wasn't it "Fire Reno" ?

lets compare the notions of wrong doing from Rumsfeld and Reno in these situations.

Why? What possible purpose would it serve?

It was "Fire Reno." I said it many times. A lot of people agreed. No, it didn't happen. Neither has Rumsfeld been fired.

Get a brain.

How about we fire any congressman who has been on the intelligence committee more than 8 years since they are obviously to blame for 911? Oh wait....

You are determined to be a snert today. Thanks for linking a misleading Al Franken hit piece done under the guise of parody. Complete with the misleading Time magazine piece about the "plan" (in MS powerpoint no less).

Like I said in the other thread, when you are really to grow beyond the high school level stuff this forum will serve you much better.

I stuck my tongue out because I knew you were going to play your usual game of playing the man and not the ball. Why is the piece misleading, exactly? When you graduate from high school, you might eventually learn that real debate requires addressing the points raised, and not simply dimissing arguments out of hand because you don't like the person who wrote the source.

BTW- Franken's chapter was fully cited. I don't have the citations handy since I borrowed the book from the library, but you can take my word for it. ;) <--- in anticipation of more time-honoured corplinx dodges.

if they're screaming "Fire Rumsfeld" why wasn't it "Fire Reno" ? It was "Fire Reno", loudly and persistently for a long long time.

Speaking of Janet Reno...
http://www.specialevents.buffalo.edu/speakers.shtml

She's speaking at my university on the same day (March 10) as -- I'm not joking -- Ann Coulter. As I understand it, it will be Janet Reno, immediately followed by Ann Coulter. Should I go? What kinds of things should I throw at them? Will Ann Coulter be even more of a whiny bitch if Kerry wins the election?

[daenku32]

Ann probably would like to see Kerry voted in. That way there would be a Democrat making big headlines again and she could write another book with plenty of hatefull diatribe about the evils of Democrats.

Right now Republicans are in control and making all the waves so she is low on material..

I would pay real money to see them both on stage at the same time.

I'm not sure how to interpret that. ;)

Ask about their LSAT scores, bra sizes, sexual proclivities, rumors from their workplaces when they were in their 20s, you know....

Because Reno did nothing wrong. In fact, she should have received a medal.

There. That's a nice way to start the day!

They'd make an excellent team for a TV show about a pair of private detectives. It could be set somewhere really exotic, like Enid Oklahoma, and they could solve crimes and have car chases and jump from burning buildings while bickering amiably and getting into the occasional spitting-mad catfight with each other.

Ann Coulter: Mrs Brown had the diamonds all along!
Janet Reno: You have no proof, you rumor-mongering whore!
SLAP! PUNCH! KICK! (all fight sequences in "Crouching Tiger" style involving flying)

I think it would be a hit, at least until they made the classic mistake of ending the crackling sexual tension by having them get married. It killed "Remington Steele", it will kill "Coulter and Reno".

I think maybe this medication is a bit strong, after all.

So should Hitler, he also killed some of his own innocent citizens. :rolleyes:

Which is why he shouldn't get one. Why do you want to give him a medal for killing innocent civilians? That's sick.

You're right, it is sick. But you said it. If Janet Reno should get one, so should Hitler (and Stalin and Pol Pot and the rest of those tin pot dictatators you admire).

You are putting Janet Reno (whatever wrong she might have done at the Waco incident) on the same level as Adolf Hitler?

My oh my, you sure have to learn something about putting things into proportion.

Nope, that's a misinterpretation. All I'm saying is that if Reno deserves a metal for killing her own innocent citizens, so does Hitler. In fact, using The Scrutinizer's logic, Hitler should get more metals. Not just for the fact that he killed more than Reno, but most of the people he killed were Jews. In Scrutinizer's world, that practically elevates him to god-like status.

Except Reno didn't kill any innocent civilians. If you think she did, call the police. Are you really this stupid?
