Romney wins presidential debate

[kentonio]

Yes. We should have also propped up the Shah of Iran more, although not doing so was a colossal mistake orders of magnitude worse than this one. Altogether Mubarak wasn't all that bad for an Arab dictator, and for us it's important to show that we don't abandon our friends, lest we find ourselves without very many.

You ****ing idiot.

[kentonio]

You are now on a moral level with nazi sympathizers. Well done.

I've realized you're not just selfish. You're actually evil. If this is what Romney's base sees in him- someone who will spare no effort to prop up dictators and will relentlessly bomb Iran in an attempt to stall the inevitable- this election is starting to scare me.

[regexcellent]

The reason I think we should have propped up Hosni Mubarak is that he's better than the people who are replacing him. Not because I like evil dictators. The same goes for the Shah.

Haha, godwinized! But no, I don't apologize for regimes that engage in the genocide of millions of Jews, just like I don't support it when we support the overthrow of a friendly regime by one that is interested in repeating that.

[Tupac Shakur]

Jesus ****ing Christ, have an original goddamned thought for once, instead of parroting right-wing media talking points. Please show me evidence of Obama's foreign policy being "to go around apologizing for everything we've done."

Look, I'm not a particularly big fan of the guy myself, and there are lots and lots of legitimate reasons to oppose him. But that is ****ING STUPID.

No, you're scum. You've just admitted it. Well done.

The Muslim Brotherhood is not planning a genocide. You think they are because you are a bigot.

[regexcellent]

That's a word you tend to overuse, and use incorrectly. I think that the Muslim Brotherhood would very much like to see all of the Jews in Israel dead, and I know that Hamas, which is aligned with the MB, definitely does.

More like I recognize the concept of "lesser evil."

[Hauldren Collider]

Egypt was better off under Mubarak--their economy has tanked, muslim radicals are taking over, and security is minimal. Coptics are being killed all over the place when they used to live in peace.

It would be nice of Egypt somehow turned into some sort of liberal democracy. Yet that seems vanishingly unlikely.

Yes, of course you think that. You think Muslims are a bunch of barbaric savages.

[Hauldren Collider]

Yes, of course you think that. You think Muslims are a bunch of barbaric savages.

You're the one who just equated the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas to all Muslims, not Reg.

[DinoDoc]

Benghazi and Fast and Furious are right there begging to be used if you are looking for foreign policy clubs to attack Obama with guys.

[regexcellent]

Yes, of course you think that. You think Muslims are a bunch of barbaric savages.

Wow, way to jump to conclusions.
e: By the way, the Nazis were not ignorant savages; in fact, they were quite civilized, just in a very evil way. Similarly, however horrific the Muslim Brotherhood and (to a much greater degree) Hamas may be, they aren't uncivilized in the sense of a New Guinean tribe.

Benghazi and Fast and Furious are right there begging to be used if you are looking for foreign policy clubs to attack Obama with guys.

Are you talking about "lead from behind" or the whole "it's not a terrorist attack" thing from a few weeks ago?
