      What made you think this was relevant to the conversation? We’re talking about things Republicans fabricated to attack Obama. Him using more drones than any other president to kill brown people was a good thing for them.

          This piece painted a picture where Obama did no wrong, which is incorrect.

          What piece, the comment? Nothing they said was incorrect. Republicans couldn’t/wouldn’t attack him on it because their record is even worse and they don’t really view bombing brown people as inherently bad.

            They attacked him with that nonsense because they couldn’t find anything else to attack him on.

            From the comment i replied to.

            Pretty clear to me.

              That doesn’t say he was flawless, it said they couldn’t find anything to attack him on, which is true. They liked the whole “blowing up brown people with missiles” thing. That comment isn’t unilateral praise of Obama, it’s an explanation of why Republicans couldn’t find dirt they could use on him, because the dirt that was there was on their faces too.

        You realize the President is in control of the military, and decisions involving it?

        He could have stopped it.

        He could have said ‘hey, stop killing children who have never harmed us’.

        No one was saying those things.

            Are you so blind that you only see the world thru a filter provided by a political party?

            The USA has been doing horribly illegal things for a long time.

            Pretending murder is cool because the other guys did it too is horrible logic at best.

            People conducting their lives and basing their morality on what the other person did is a downward spiral trap for society.

            As for what i did, smoke some DMT and ask the elves. My soul is clean. Everyone ignored my warnings, i was kidnapped and tortured for months to retaliate.

            It’s impossible to avoid civilian deaths, and yet I have killed exactly zero civilians in my life. Curious.
