Democrat Tom Harkin channels Grima Wormtongue [Darleen Click]

After all, we “overreacted” to 9/11.

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) blasted the Obama administration and members of Congress for engaging in “fear-mongering” over the Islamic State terror threat.

It’s fear-mongering. It’s what happened after 9/11. ‘Oh my God, they’ve got these planes crashing. Now they’re going to take over America.’ That’s nonsense,” Harkin told the Huffington Post.

Harkin added, “We overreacted to 9/11. Most of the people that did 9/11 were Saudis. Why the hell didn’t we invade Saudi Arabia? There wasn’t one Iraqi involved in 9/11,” said Harkin. “We just keep jumping from one mistake to another. I have a feeling we’re going to do the same thing with the [Islamic State.]”

    it’s for sure time to tell the perverted and disgusting House of Saud to get fucked I think

    boisterously fucked

    a nastier bunch of whores there never was

    Tom Harkin (continuously sent to D.C. since 1975! Thanks, Iowa!) has been bellowing against Al Gore’s global-warming fearmongering for how long now?

  3. McGehee says:

    What Tom “lying about my military service since 1975” Harkin says is not important, and we do not hear his words.

  4. bgbear says:

    IIRC, Iraq was not our first stop after 9/11 Mr. Harkin.

    So, Harkin believes that we should punish people for the sins of their sons. Interesting.

    I believe our strategy was to go after those who did harm our country and intending to do harm and destroy their ability to do so again.

    Punishing fellow countrymen for just being so has limited strategic advantage.

    >n his book Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power, Josef Pieper wrote, “The dignity of the word, to be sure, consists in this: through the word is accomplished what no other means can accomplish, namely, communication based on reality.”

    Inevitably, when you obscure the language, you obscure the reality. But in many cases, that helps to win the argument.<

    everyone should stop doing the abuses on language and stuff

    How long does it take to fly a B-2 from Whiteman to Ar-Raqqah, for fuck’s sake? So where the Hell is step one in this newly touted four part strategy?

    Nowhere, is where.

  10. happyfeet says:

    this war on ISIS thing isn’t serious it’s just a media thing cause of how dipshit Obama fucked up and admitted failmerica had absolutely no fucking strategy

    you can tell from how all the propaganda sluts are punching the word “strategy”

    an air/fuel bomb would do wonders on #isisisislam

  12. dicentra says:

    That NRO article it has this as well:

    What they, and others, have done is to transform “Islam” or “Muslim” from neutral words of description into words of praise. In the president’s mouth, these words no longer communicate any content; they only express approval. When Barack Obama says “Muslim,” he means “a self-proclaimed Muslim with whom I agree.”

    Of course, we can communicate at all only because words mean things. So emptying words of their content does not facilitate, but hinders clear communication. And that is not a pedantic point. This confusion poses a danger to the integrity of our public debates.

    Emphasis mine.

    It is funny that a sitting Pennsylvania governor is trailing so badly in the polls http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2014/governor/pa/pennsylvania_governor_corbett_vs_wolf-3535.html.

    If he had conviction, this is what this election would be about:

    Roughly 12 hours each way so they should be back home in the barn by now.

    And a bar.

    A reason I used to laugh and laugh and laugh at Ann Althouse was her contention involving the need to elect Obama to make the Dems take the war on terrorism seriously.

    Well, this is what happens.

    This is why I keep laughing and laughing and laughing at Ann Althouse.

  19. BigBangHunter says:

    “I’m starting to wonder whether the world takes us seriously.”

    – Depends entirely on what you mean by seriously sweetie. Most people with working brains and some measure of sanity believe you are seriously deluded, that you seriously believe in fairy tales, given the chance, or at least you did when Bumblefucks great technicolor road shoe came a calling with boat loads of hopey and changey. But even if you’re finally starting to wake up and act like an adult instead of a spoiled, over indulgent, over emotional child it won’t mean a lot if you don’t help the country rid itself of this incompetent snake oil community organizer.

  20. serr8d says:

    Darleen, you do Grima Wormtongue (Cunning Manipulative Asshole) a disservice, comparing him to Tom Harkin (Cunning Manipulative Politically-Propped-by-Media “I FLEW VIETNAM COMBAT MISSIONS!” Steak-Fry-Famous Asshole). Sometimes assholes just aren’t perfectly interchangeable.

  21. Neo says:

    Which raises another question: Where exactly is the anti-war movement?

    Have you see a single “No Blood for Oil” sign in Cambridge?

    To paraphrase the John Kerry of 2004: “Can I get me a candlelight vigil here?”

    Whatever happened to Cindy Sheehan? Where is Code Pink? I haven’t seen an “EndLESS War” bumper sticker in years, since 2009 to be exact.

    The anti-war movement is MIA as this war, er counter­terrorism operation, begins.

  22. McGehee says:

    It’s the Left’s “just war” doctrine: if a Democrat is in charge, it’s a just war. Unless he’s from Texas. Which isn’t a problem anymore because a Democrat from Texas in the White House? We call that a tourist.

  23. sdferr says:

    In the case of this lefty ClownCatastrophe, it can’t be a “war” since his greatness has declared “war” is over.

  24. sdferr says:

    Steve Hayes: A war President, sort of

    No, not even “sort of” Steve, since on the same principle which prevents ObaZma from declaring that “ISIS is not Islamic” [ISIS gets to proclaim its own identity], we’re forced to concede that on ObaZma’s own terms he is not fighting a “war”.

    We get it, Barry, but do you? It’s only language, after all.

  25. RI Red says:

    This is where these assholes are getting off:

    War. Hostile contention by means of armed forces, carried
    on between nations, states, or rulers, or between
    citizens in the same nation or state. Gitlow v. Kiely,
    D.C.N.Y., 44 F.2d 227, 233. A contest by force between
    two or more nations, carried on for any purpose, or
    armed conflict of sovereign powers or declared and open
    hostilities, or the state of nations among whom there is
    an interruption of pacific relations, and a general contention
    by force, authorized by the sovereign. West v.
    Palmetto State Life Ins. Co., 202 S.C. 422, 25 S.E.2d 475,
    477, 478.
    Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Ed.

    But, but, but they aren’t a nation!
    Assholes.

  26. sdferr says:

    But, but, but they aren’t a nation!

    Then again, there’s also the alternative interpretation: We aren’t a nation.

    If one were a lefty, wouldn’t that be a more tempting argument?

  27. Physics Geek says:

    I think that the people of Iowa overreacted by electing that fuckwit.

  28. RI Red says:

    I have to say I’m not feeling very national lately. I’m thinking that the Republic of New Hamshire has a nice ring to it.
    But, unfortunately, no ring around it.

  29. RI Red says:

    or a missing “p” in it.

  30. McGehee says:

    Nothing’s missing “p” in it for long if Biden is there.

  31. At least, Red, you didn’t call it ‘Cow Hampshire’ like the Elites do.
