Just another dogwhistle they use to symbolically emasculate/castrate a powerful black man. Constant references to wimp, pussy, pansy, 'limp,' mom jeans, etc etc etc.

One of their oldest and favorite tactics. Of course they ran it on Clinton and Carter too (and even on JFK, while we're at it) but it's been ramped up 100x on the M.N.

The whole "whisper campaign" against George HW Bush -- the youngest Navy fighter pilot during WWII, and the former captain of Yale's baseball team -- was that he was a "wimp".

And that campaign was started by St. Reagan. It was brought to full roar during the primary season by his fellow GOPers, who saw him as unfitting to carry on the Gipper's legacy.

When the mainstream media starts to openly call Obama a wimp, let me know.

So far, I know of two Presidential candidates who's manhood has been questioned in this way by Big Media:

The Newsweek article on Bush was about how he wasn't a wimp, despite what the Republican challengers were whispering about him.

I ripped BO on DK because he showed a lack of aggressiveness when he had plenty of options. As I correctly predicted at the time, his actions have come back to repeatedly bite his own ass.

In the current situation, there are no practical options.

In fact, as usual, so far in this situation his main misstep has been a misguided attempt to curry favor or approval from the screaming mob which wants him hanging from a tree (i.e. the 'red line' statements and other horn-honking intended to prove how tough he is).

Anybody pissing and moaning about Obama not sounding 'tough' wouldn't give a good god damn if he got on worldwide teevee, pounded his chest with his fists, stripped down to a bulging jockstrap and threatened to rip Putin's head off with his bare hands and feed it to Bo the dog.

Nothing -- absolutely nothing --- would convince them Obama was really "tough" until missiles were plunging down on the Kremlin.

That's enough of this. We are 720-some posts in on this thread, and probably 600 of them have nothing to do with Ukraine, but are bitching about, or in defense of, Obama.

Is he not the Commander in Chief? What do you think would be going on on such a thread if it were, say, 2006"

If this had happened in 2006, few people of any ideological persuasion in this country would've noticed, because we had our own wars going on, which quite properly were people's foreign policy concerns. When Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, Bush got next door to no flak, because nobody cared except maybe McCain.

That and Bush had an R next to his name, which means talk radio didn't tell people to be outraged by his inaction.

IIRC, Georgia started the day of the Beijing Olympics and we were deep into a presidential campaign.

In '06, everyone who criticized the Commander in Chief would be called unpatriotic.

And ... CUT AND RUN!!!!

4,000+ soldiers died in Iraq because if we left, the world would think we would be CUTTING AND RUNNING!!!

Go ask the families of those soldiers if they would prefer having their loved ones back and the world thinking America CUTS AND RUNS!!! or not.

I seem to see a lot of partisan politics being discussed on this thread.
I might have to notify one of my moderator friends.

MileHigh · Mar 19, 2014

I'm actually surprised we've lasted this long. But happily surprised.

Though your moderator friends/enemies/red asses are watching/reading/observing. Like the NSA. You just don't know when they'll step in.
