couldnt find Iran on a map?

me

you are welcome

But seriously, everything the right does in regard to Obama has nothing to do with the issue at hand and everything to do with their blind vicious hatred of his skin color and name.

They love any leader LEADER!! as long as it isn't the twice landslide elected LEADER of this country

because she is an assertive and intelligent woman, period.

Needs repeating.

Yep, they hate Obama because he is black, period.
Yep, they hate Obama because he is black, period.
Yep, they hate Obama because he is black, period.


You can throw in any side shows to make it seem more complicated than that, but this is the ONLY explanation for the wide, far-ranging pouring down rain of idiotic "problems' "revelations" and nefarious "schemes" of Mulla Barry Hussein Obama coming from the right.

Period

was healthy?


what a terrible person

They hate President Obama because he's Black, yes, but the icing on the cake is that he's a Black DEMOCRAT. They've sabotaged the previous three Democratic presidents, even hitting LBJ when he was leaving office, the fallout hitting Humphrey. It culminated, of course, with the Clinton impeachment. It surely makes them especially crazy because they can't find a legitimate reason for impeaching Obama. They throw the word around, however, with nearly every action he takes---no matter how many previous presidents have done the same.

To them

Black = Democrat.

Oh, yes. They'd hate him just as much if he were white.

I have no doubt his skin color "enhances" the bile from many conservatives. But I harbor no illusion that he'd be treated any better even if he her white. He'd still be the godless commie socialist nazi illegitimate illegal unconstitutional America-hating apologizer over-reaching soft-on-terrorism teleprompter-reliant gun-stealing unpatriotic liberal; the only difference is they wouldn't have come up with the "born in Kenya" canard.

To say they hate Obama because he's black is to deny the pattern of hate suffered by Clinton and the swiftboating of Kerry and others thru the years. Hatred is the de facto operating mode of the right.

Neoconservative love a rigid, ignorant man in politics. I think the Bush family have figured it out and that is why Jeb has gone all the way back to Baker for foreign policy advice.

That's enough, right there, to make me want to run screaming into the night.

And this guy was actually smart enough to graduate from Harvard School of law...they must have really lowered the standards?

But, that piece of paper makes him smarter then a good portion of the population of Arkansas!!!

GWB, Ted Cruz, this idiot Tom Cotton, Alaska's senator Dan Sullivan, who also signed this letter. Harvard must not have any standards.

And your family and your children and the endowments.

Harvard is no more elitist than the University of Phoenix, if you have the money.

Harvard isn't hard up for money. Their endowment is in the tens of billions.

character remarks that there are a lot of mediocre minds from Harvard (just not HIM).

Except that they gave W a degree and then an Honorary Degree when he was prez. I wanted to barf...

likes of neocons who appeal to their egos.

from Sarah Palin's house!

Between this goofball and the Cuban Canuck, an ivy league education sure doesn't seem to mean as much as it used to.

All have degrees from Harvard. Quick search - I am sure there are more.

also has a Harvard degree and signed this letter. Mark Begich, who didn't graduate from college, would have NEVER made this mistake.

Isn't stupid. Just an ass.

All these incurious, "made up" minds unchanging in their rigid right wing beliefs, but national "spokespersons," should reassure all the conservative parents concerned that left leaning professors and teachers are poisoning their kids' minds. If you "raised 'em right," die-hard rightwingers, you have nothing to worry about!

"This guy's a schmegege."

All he knew is his owners told him it was full of Iranians, which has to be a bad thing.

on the headline's claim

look how badly things turned out when those pesky Canadians controlled Ottawa? Or, when those Brits controlled London? Next thing you know, the Chinese will control Beijing! And, pretty soon, you'll have dogs & cats living together - mass hysteria!

that he seems to be assuming that we don't know that and he thinks he has to educate us. Condescending at the very least.

What is the relevance of stating a country controls its capitol?

It's an ancient fact. No momentum there. Add, "already," and you're pushing an idea of recent and expanding growth of Iranian control in the region. They did it to Tehran, too!

"I would hope that they control Tehran, after all it is the Capital City of Iran." Or something to that effect to make Cotton look like the fool he is.

Or any US mediawhore pundit to correct.. they might get a scolding from TPTB.

They save it for people like Pres Obama.. like when chuckie todd told him he "..hadn't mentioned Syria yet".. when it was only FOUR TIMES!

his permission to negotiate with Iran. I don't think that he and his buddies have a clue of the damage that they caused our relationships with our allies. They have announced it loud and clear that the US is not a reliable ally anymore to any of them. See how far it gets them if they decide to go to war against Iran. Their international coalition might consist of Israel and the US. Any other country would be stupid to get involved.

Are you kidding me! - Cotton cannot answer for himself..he has to quote the nuttyyahoo? - Tennessee - what were you thinking - you want your loved ones to strap on a helmet and pick up a gun...that is all I can extrapolate from your voting prowess...of which, you have none...zilch, nada..zero!

This poor excuse for a man IS the enemy within....

not Tennessee.

I make no excuse for my stupidity..of course Arkansas - now someone will come along and put me in the same category as "doesn't know Tehran is cap of iran - tehran tom"...my humble apologies to TN..

Did not sign the letter. I wrote them both and commended them

...to run against them.

I got slapped down for saying this earlier, but I'll say it again; when you run an opponent against these teabagger, empty-headed clowns, they have to be a clearly better choice. The opposition for this fool was NOT. He was someone running as a "repuKKKe lite", and he should have won easily if he had any type of quality campaign.

I still strongly feel the same is true for how we got stuck with rand paul, mr. Turtlehead, and at least a half dozen other Senators. Representatives may be another story, somewhat, because of the gerrymandering; but the same can be said for many districts across the country. If we can't find and support strong, quality candidates to oppose these clowns, they will continue to win with Koch dollars.

Please don't confuse a respectable resume' of political offices with being a "quality candidate". Rand paul's opponent spent his time and energy attacking paul's character because he was in some silly cult in college instead of the issues that show him as a tea party quack that he was known to be.

In my home district we keep electing Jamie Herrera-Beutler because her opponents are totally unexposed and resemble no campaign at all. If good character, intelligent and possibly political experience candidates could be drafted from state legislatures or from other sources around our states, we could get these walking droids out of our federal government.

But only a special one or two are chosen.

By the Cochs and their ilk, and only chosen because they can be manipulated.

Just wait when the party is over, these special ones will be discarded like that piece of rubber in the sewer.

To think that senior Senators followed his lead - ah well ReTHUGs are morons

...so it just passed on by. Nobody calls these turd balls out on their nonsense. It's disgusting.

Seriously though Schieffer should have called him out on that - still he's a first rate gack so why am I not surprised.

Iran's leaders control the capitol of the country they control, ok.

What he didn't say is that Iran's influence is expanding due to a vacuum created by the US toppling regimes or meddling in places like Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, etc. It's our fault Iran has the opportunity to expand it's power in the region.

Attacking one country with "Shock & Awe" tends to radicalize its neighbors.
If some foreign country Shocked & Awed me, destroyed my home and city,
looted my country, killed neighbors and family members.....


... I would be looking for a militia to join and making IEDs at night.

Tom Cotton claims Mexico has taken over Mexico City.

by New York

The British have taken British Columbia.

We could go on for days with this

taxation without representation, and Congress overrides the district's laws all the time.

underpants

I do not have a education from Harvard - but I do dam know that Tehran is the capital of Iran - and have been that for centuries - It have been the capital since 1796 - and have a population of over 8 million - in the metropolitan area over 12 million inhabitants - and is also the largest city in the western Asia! - iF i who doesn't have that much of an education can know this - then might a person who was coming out of Harvard should have the basic understanding about a country they have some issue with - and who they want going to war with.... You know - know your enemy rutine... If you can not find

The arrogance and ignorance the GOP hopefuls have in general is really scaring - you should believe a well- educated person should know better - specially if he is elected to some of the highest offices in the land, like the US Senate... This is the persons who decide if US is going to war or not - and then they can not even find the CAPITAL of a NATION on the map - and can stew all type of stupidity out in the open, regardless of the facts at hand.... This is the country we, Norway is allied with - and who we have to relay on if we ever got into a shooting match with anyone.... I think we must re-think our alliances - and maybe work closer with our european counterparts from now on... Because the insanity the GOP is showing is damaging the alliance more than even the worst of our enemies, past or future can ever dream of being able to do...

I just wonder - why is this even possible, to be elected Senator of the US - when you doesn't know where the Capital of Iran is - even if the information you Will need, is open for everyone who want to explore it on internet - it took me 1-2 seconds on google to get 15 pages of information about Tehran - information about everything, from the history of Tehran - to how the night life is in the city.... The parliament - the government offices and so one and so one.. If you have google earth, you can even zoom into the city itself - and almost walk on the streets of the city - and discover many parts of the City - all by yourself behind your PC screen... A man who is able to be elected to the US congress - and who have served a few tours in Iraq, should have been able to do that - when I could do it..

Diclotican

and said "What next? Africa?"

It's embarrassing...

CTyankee

Yeah - As Africa is a nation - not a continent - I might have belived Africa was a country - when I was 5 - but to spew that out when you are a grown man, or in Michele Bachmans case - a fullgrown woman... That's just embarrassing.....

Diclotican

She has no knowledge of the Maghreb in northern Africa...I think she believed that LIbya was in what she believed was the "middle East" that did not include northern Africa.

The whole thing is frightening.

CTyankee

I agree - it is really frighting that this ignorance - and outright stupidity is going on - and is even infesting the halls of the government - ignorant leaders make for some really bad decisions in the end.... But I guess for the conservative movements - specially the right wings it is a shield of honor to be ignorant - and then to spew all type of ignorant stuff out in the open - and be proud of it too - even if they got to some of the best schools in the country, and should know far better...

At one time - even the conservatives loved education - and loved the thrill of getting to know how the world existed - and how they could make it better (in their view, but even then...) for most people.. Back in the days you even had conservative leader who would fight fascism and nazism when they saw it - today they ARE the fascists and Nazisms - and proud of it...


Diclotican

And likely never will.

about the traitors.

He knows it would risk a shooting civil war.

It is the reason he doesnt do all kinds of shit, he knows they are just waiting for an excuse to blow everything up.

I mean, they already control Washington DC, what's next the occupation of Philadelphia? Boston? New York?

week he was saying we should only negotiate after iran disarms its nukes? there is so much stupidity in him, hard to keep track.
