Edwards raps Clinton, Romney on Iran

Continuing his long march toward complete oblivion, John Edwards is blasting Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney for talking tough on Iran, reports Amy Lorentzen for the Associated Press:


Presidential contender John Edwards criticized Democratic and Republican rivals alike Thursday for threats and a vote against Iran, accusing Hillary Rodham Clinton of helping a GOP march to war.

Earlier in the day, the Bush administration announced new sanctions against Iran and Republican candidate Mitt Romney said he would consider a military blockade or "bombardment of some kind" to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon.

"You expect that from Republicans, but the Democrats don't need to be helping," Edwards told a group gathered in an Iowa high school. "We need to stand up to these people. We need to stop them and we need to be strong in our opposition."


Read it all at the above link. If you needed any further evidence of what a spineless weasel John Edwards is, notice he is demanding we "stand up to these people," "stop them," and "be strong in our opposition" . . . to Clinton and Romney. He'll bend over and spread 'em for Iran and any other threat, of course.

Naturally, this is geared towards attracting support from the anti-any-American-use-of-power, pro-socialist, extreme left of the Democratic Party, whom he figures may be intensely angry that Hillary has abandoned the Surrender Caucus in favor of electoral viability. After all, Edwards has no real "core values" - except perhaps that the guy in the mirror is just the prettiest thing he's ever seen.

Since this comments thread has laid an Egg, may I submit for the readers' consideration a genuinely upsetting display of pop culture exploitation (to zero effect, thx Gawd!)

bryanD:

Kind of profound and revealing. Note the concluding sentence. Even the liberal FDL site can confidently and joyfully wallow in the supposed-conservative surrender to neocon crapulence. An f'ing shame, I say!

dsmith:

Have we become so goddamn war crazy that when a man says we shouldn't impose sanctions on Iran for simply wanting to develop nuclear energy, not unlike Israel, that he is called a pussy and traitor?

There are still some of us left who see another war being staged under the pretense of, once again, weapons of mass destruction.

Are you that fucking stupid to fall for that line again?

This isn't "another war" dmsith, it's all part of the same war plan that was rolled out five years afo - this is just part 2, and Syria is part 3.

Invading Iran was actually higher on the priority list than Iraq, but the phony "WMDs in Iraq" was deemed by the blundering Bush administration to be a more sale-able lie, so the idiots started there instead.

The phony bit about Iraq moving their WMDs to Syrai was all part of their liars' script, but by mid-2006 Iraq was such a debacle that the Bushies couldn't extricate the troops and muster the PR support to make the move on Syria.

Now Iraq is in absolute shambles and the Bush administration and the Republican'ts in Congress are trying to move ahead with the plan as originally formulated anyway and get to Iran before their sorry, lying asses are voted out of office next November.

Meanwhile an impatient Israel went ahead and tried to take care of Hezzbollah on their own (and botched that pretty badly) and more recently made a move on Syria -- frustrated with the failures of the US efforts in their behalf.

Tell your friends, and ask them to tell their friends...

Welcome to the final throes of the Republican party.

LilyRose:

hmm. So Edwards is a "spineless weasel" because he has the brains to see Mitt "George please let me suck it again" Romney and Hilary "I'll do anything to squeeze another hawk point out of this mess" Clinton as the opportunistic puke lappers that they are, and call them on it?

Ha. Of course, this is a blogger who uses stale, mindless phrases like "anti-any-American-use-of-power, pro-socialist, extreme left of the Democratic Party", showing himself to be another goose-stepping, get-in-line fascist with nothing better to say but the same old reactionary claptrap that people like this spew when they're lining up behind the thugs because they're nuts shrivel at the idea that otherwise they may wind up in front of them and get noticed. What a pathetic pissant.

By the way, shithead: since the war is being funded by taxes that you probably are falling over yourself to pay so you can feel like someone with real gonads, you obviously don't mind that sort of socialism huh? That's the other thing about you fascist spermbags: you're hypocrites to the pus-ridden core.

Scrapiron:

If anyone is opening a new mental facility for the criminally insane there are three first in line reservations in the comment section. Someone make sure these pukes are cremated (twice) so their rotten bodies won't contaminate the ground. Did anyone know that there was not an American combat death in 16 days in Iraq. Can't say that for the city of brotherly love, Detroit. D.C. or dozens of cities in the U.S. More people are murdered by the slime (democrats and criminal aliens) in this country in one year than wouold be killed in a 10 five year wars. Come on democrats, solve that problem. Oh, I forgot, the only thing you know is run and hide your head in the a** of a criminal Clinton.

"Did anyone know that there was not an American combat death in 16 days in Iraq."-scrapiron

I've heard that, too. From the mouth of Leslie Hochsenwader aka Brian Kilmeade on the "Brian & The Judge" Fox radio program.

But since Leslie is a infotainment shill and male bimbo (referring once to Britain's MI6 as M-16), I looked it up.

It's not true. Not even close to being true.

btw: Google Fox News memo. They report (and "comment") to spec. Another minor (but humorous) case in point: The "Dumbledore is Gay!" thing (Harry Potter?) from late last week:

By coincidence(?) that day all the RW radio programs just happened to pronounce "Dumbledore" as "DumbledorF"

O'Reilly, Ingraham, Leslie Hochensenwader.

What are the odds?

At least their attempt to foist a new OJ marathon upon America fizzled quickly, saints be praised!

dsmith:

Scrapiron writes with the same venom of David Horowitz or Bill Kristol when it comes to denouncing anyone critial of bombing soverign middle eastern countries. I'm somewhat surprised he was able to write an entire paragraph without using either of the terms Islamofascist, War on Terror or 9-11.

Someone like scrapiron has to really be thrilled with the sight of dead Islamic men, women and children, torn to bits by 500 pound bombs, to make the statement " Someone make sure the pukes are cremeated twice so the won't contaminate the ground" just because we dared to speak out against neocon chickenhawks and their plan to control all of the oil in Iraq and Iran.

One last work for you Scrapiron...enlist!
