  • Sorry but republicans have revealed themselves to be bigoted time and time again before and after the election. If they wanted black voters then they wouldn't be saying and doing racist stuff all the time.

  • Obama was elected based on race pure and simple FACT! No one can deny that.

    I have seen where Obama is compared to Hitler. Only problem with this is Hitler put Germany back to work Obama has done little for Americans after three long economically declining years. Say what you will about Hitler at least he had a GOOD jobs program and even though he made war like Obama he made a strong economy and jobs. Something Obama will never do.

    Hitler was an economic genius compared to Obama.

  • obama WORST pres EVER!! IMPEACH, ARREST on TREASON CHARGES!

  • With the exception of two black high school kids, every black person I know personally was against Obama.

  • @Motive11331 Despite how many black people you know it comes down to the fact that 91%of black people voted for obama...

  • Why did I bother...Thank goodness I am an Aussie...Oh WAIT...OUR GOVERNMENT IS FUCKED TOO....shit, I think I am gonna save up to live in the jungle, no need to vote, just marry and have kids, eat meat, sit by the fire...yeaaaah... :D

  • "what are people drinking overthere?"

    toxic kool-aid.

  • i dont support mccain, but at least hes a realist.

  • That woman was too hilarious! She was inventing that McCain is uneducated & didn't have facts and information! BAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA! She is so dumb! She obviously is uneducated herself! Both candidates HAVE TO present facts and information when speaking! She totally pulled that out of her behind!

  • This is just shocking. Unfortunately, these people's votes count as much as the vote of someone who DOES know what the hell is going on.

    Obama played the "useful idiots" for the fools that they are.

  • It's sad to see people who claim to want to make racism "disappear" are still some of its biggest proprietors.

    "Having a black President will make history". Sure, but you know what? It should have been a person of any color who knew what they were doing. Not this chump who got in because of race loyalty, and people like Al Sharpton attempting to make weaker-minded people think they were racist if they voted against him.

    Sick shit. At least he'll be a one-term President.

  • its not just the people they interviewed, its most of the country that voted for him because of race and because the democrats made him look, "cool" in the media. This was the democrats plan the whole time, they know that most Americans do not really know each candidates political views and policies, but its to late know nice going fuckn ignorant black and white people, and mexicans, and indians prolly to. :)

  • 3 out of 6 whites have IQs under 100. This is not a joke. It's a scientific fact.

    However the numbers are far worse for negros and mulattoes. 5/6s of them have IQs under 100. This is what makes it difficult to educate the sinmpleton bluegum jubjubs.

    Barack bin Osama's ethnic followers are not only quit stupid, but they are grossly ignorant. This is a big problem.

    This video is good though, because it shows them clearly for what they are.

  • @DeSouzaPauloDeSouza instead of saying 3 out of 6. why not say 1 of 2?

  • lets take a trip to the south and ask white voters why they voted for mccain. not just to any city...let's take a trip thru Joe Dirt country and ask the same questions....do you really think policy would even come up as a reason...i dont think so.

  • As a Canadian I have to say this is sad because I know more about American politics than Americans do

  • hahahah.... DUMB MOTHER F**KERS!

  • "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency. The banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up HOMELESS on the continent their fathers conquered." - THOMAS JEFFERSON

    I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THAT 16% OF A POPULATION CAUSED OBAMA TO BE PRESIDENT. WAKE UP FOLKS, SOMETHING IS VERY AMISS HERE!

  • the blind leading the stupid.... off of a cliff. That basically sums up our goverment

  • Isn't it obvious----blacks can't tell us anything about anything or cite any facts about it even if they could! One of the animals living next to me is a parolee who doesn't read, isn't educated and I wish he would LEAVE---Same with Obama, I wish he would just leave.

  • I HOPE PRESIDENT OBAMA GETS RE-ELECTED...SO HE CAN TEAR YOU PEOPLE A NEW ASS HOLE...

  • @salbella50 He already has torn the economy and our security a gaping butthole---if that's his intent, then he's "mission accomplished" and he can leave! We get to pay the debt and clean up his mess!

  • Obama admits he's not a citizen in this video. Watch it and put a thumbs up on this so everyone sees it.

    watch?v=MwhKuunp8D8&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

  • This is the problem wit the country..... This is also why a popular vote is bad and why they should never have passed the 17th amendment during the progressive movement in the early 1900's

  • Ignorant people follow ignorantly. This is a prime example of how party hardliners will do whatever they hear that the party wants. They all try to sound like they know the issues, but it;s obvious they don't. People need to get educated before they walk into the poling both and that too is obvious. So why do they call me a mind numbed robot because I am a Republican, when I am actually well educated about the actual issues and candidates? Because that's what they've been told they should do.

  • It's the president of the United States, and the whole looked like we were voting for Class president in the 8th grade. The election was a complete mockery, oh and where was the Electoral College to decide the outcome this time? Pathetic. And Al Gore is a moron. lmao ^o^

  • this is why you should either be a land owner and have to pass an IQ test in order to vote. being dumb as rock is a right, making others suffer because of your dumbness is not a right.

  • @muckypup1975 I don't like the land owner idea, because there is a finite amount of land. I'm not sure an IQ test is right either, because a person can be stupid but still do the right thing, or can at least become informed.

    But conditions such as needing to possess a high school Diploma, or something. I dunno. Maybe if they could answer a series of questions and the computer would pick the best candidate based on their political preferences. NVM, its a stupid idea. I do agree with you.

  • dumb niggers.

  • @taythesnakewrangler! You are a disgrace of mankind. You piece of shit.

  • @taythesnakewrangler that was racist

  • @superaron13 what about the racist's on this audio? They get a free pass?

  • your right howard people are so stupid,

  • Wildboy:

    Italy and the Nazis were left wing socialists. The Nazis were a socialist party,

    Also: President Lincoln was a Republican. Martin Luther King was a Republican. The NAACP was founded by Republicans.

    The Nazis never tried to take over America. They were too preoccupied with Europe.

    How can Republicans = Confederates when the Confederates fought against the Union (go back to Lincoln and his Republican party, who all wanted to abolish slavery).

  • Proves to you the questionalble IQ level of US negroes, which currently is 78-83. compared to 63-66 for african negroes. Also proves most blacks are racist

  • THIS IS RACIST.

  • Actually this is not fake, it does show the type of people who voted for this Goon. Uneducated Niggers were a handful of those people.

  • "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

  • Obama Is one of the worst

  • I found a pussy!

  • @shadowvowed187 Why do you say that? I'm not disagreeing or agreeing, I'm just interested in opinions. In regards to this video...my, my, my. It's not very comforting. I'll just leave it at that.

  • obama will suck like the rest

  • umm socialism is communism. Which Obama is for!

    In fact that is the only reason McCain had any votes. Because the educated people understood that his policies were socialist.

    If you know anything about WWII, it is easy to figure out. Socialism and Nationalism is what Hitler was for. Obama uses sympathizers kinda like the sheep in the story Three Little Pigs, in fact that is what the cartoon is about. Sympathizers are ways in which are used politically to achieve communism by getting elected.

  • every country that ever had a government has been socialist you dumbass... socialism is anything the government does besides protecting you

    WW2 was nationalists (right wing christian germany,italy) vs. internationalism (left wing atheist USSR,usa,britan)

    the democratic party has abolished slavery and fought off the nazis in europe and the nazis trying to take over america during WW2

    the democratic party... is the american party

    republican=confederates

  • gawd, what a fake interview

  • Stupid AA, racist voters!  Don't know they ass from third base.

  • Thing is, i can tell your a dumb shit who doesnt listen but just acts. Check this out ima quarterback this shit....okay THE REASON WHY EVERYONE HATES HIM BECAUSE, THE BLACK MAN SAID AT THE BEGINNING THAT HE WASNT GOING TO SEND ANY TROOPS TO BEGIN WITH. BUT NOT THAT HE IS...WHAT DO WE CALL THAT? Common buellar buellar buellar....we call that a liar! good job! gold star for u! Bush already sent more troops, didnt say hed bring em back. But oblaba did. Go back to school

  • ok wtf if bush sent wat 30 000 troops to iraq we would be up in arms but the almighty obama does well hes black so who cares oh wait a minute that dork isnt even black hes half black im a pot hole sooo k bye

  • Bush sent over 20k troops during the surge. On top of the over 130k that were already there

  • Amazing...proves blacks are dumb

  • In public school I was taught how removing tests for voters was a great civil rights victory,

    BULL SHIT! allowing any of these idiots to vote is a disservice to the country,

    Im all for a voters test with about 30 easy questions,

    How many states does the country have? Name the 2 countries bordering the USA,

    Does the sun rise in the south, north, east or west?

    This would weed-out the real morons, but the ignorant could still vote as usual

  • You would fail that test as you have your basic civility test. Dumb,dumber, dumbest white trash.

  • copepoddy,

    Perhaps youre comfortable letting obvious fools determine your destiny?

    I'm not

    I've had about all the "PC" civility bullshit I can handle,

    Instead Ive chosen honesty; you should give it a try!

  • Poor Obama voters, The let down is going to be severe and possible damaging.

  • These negros just voted for Obama because he is a negro. They have no clue whatsoever.

  • i dont like the word negro. so sorry if i affended anyone. but who cares if they voted for obama cause he's black. seriously! n most whites voted for mccain cause he was white. so it went both ways.

  • negroid is the appropriate term. though actually he is only half negroid, half Caucasoid so at best he is a noxiousoid... ( some will get that)

  • @OldWWFfan

    Not at all, whites vote on issues and the candidates character, color is of little importance

  • cmon u went to HARLEM!!!! cmon most people there dont know shit about politics or even watch the new on tv, Go somerwhere else where there arent dumb negros around/

  • But these dumb negros are voters.

  • @OldWWFfan "FUCK YOU"

  • It is amazing how stupid these niggers are.

  • Government run public schools failed again to give people the ability to think on their own or at least even give them the desire to become informed about the world around them.... Civil rights marchers getting turned back with police dogs and fire hoses... getting beat and killed for wanting desperately the right to cast an informed choice ballot to better the world for everyone....this level of concern and education on the issues is hardly the reward I think they deserve..racism is racism

  • Its actually mostly the students disobeying. I went to public schools and learned what I could but yeah there were a lot of probs in the school too like when I was suppose to be taking algebra 2~3 teachers quit my junior year for that class. then my art class teacher quit in 12th grade and the dance teach quit and then substitutes.

    I also had a pc teacher who is prejudice towards whites and tried to flunk my cuz im white and I had to prove to the principle that I had a higher grade than that.

  • Issues seem to be a non-issue to them, that type of action wickedly wastes Dr. Kings work and struggle to end racial bias and get the vote for everyone. Did they read or hear Dr.king's "Give us the ballot speech" and not come away with the sense of responsibility the vote comes with? Read his article in the Morehouse student paper "The purpose of education" Favorite quote from that was "To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education." Shame!

  • This video proves that most people should not vote.

  • @KevZen2000 i think people should vote, but they should know there facts

  • @KevZen2000 yea, republicans for posting a dumb video

  • Stupid jigs. Well, what do you expect.

  • Why are people talking about this anyways? The Black Vote didnt get Obama in The White House..But did most Blacks Vote for Obama because he was black? Of course they did

  • Bring back the poll tax

  • LOL god they are stupid they don't even know who the Candidates running mates are.

  • At least you're honest about it. Of course, you're also proof of why allowing anybody and everybody to vote is such a frightening situation. Your voted counted just as much as someone's who knew what was going on and what was at stake. We are all the biggest losers.

  • You my friend are a moron, You have let down your brothers and sisters with such a poor comment. It is people exactly like you that open the door for further embarassment. SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!!!!

  • Correction, things can and will get worse. Things are currently getting more "fucked up" as you so eloquently said. It's sad that you voted for someone based solely on the color of their skin. Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the current state of the economy, the unemployment rate, the U.S deficit, the housing market, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the soon the be healthcare plan.

  • nigger.

  • @tjmackabee  your also a jobless libtard bum with 22 inch rims on your 78 impala

  • @KIMBOSLICE66666

    actually i own my business and i dont drive an Impala. i drive an 86 buick grand national on drag radials. everyone has their reasons and mine is because he is black. if you all don't like it then vote him out in a few years...simple how that works huh? i bet most of you voted for mccain because you'd rather see a lesser qualified white in office than a more qualified black man. the economy was bad prior to obama taking office...that was bush's doing.

  • @KIMBOSLICE66666

    i bet you have an awesome mullet and drive a lifted ford pickup truck.

  • @tjmackabee no I have chevy truck and live in miami and pay my taxes and I believe in god unlike you libtards

  • @tjmackabee Your a fucking disgrace and embarrassment to America and Great Black Americans like MLK jr

  • @shadowvowed187

    what do you know about great black americans besides what you have learned in "history class"? I bet MLK would have voted for obama too based on the same reasons. please...all of a sudden the country is in disarray because obama is in office....the country was going to shit loooooong before we voted him in.

  • @tjmackabee I know a hell of alot more than you do about Black Americans and Obama has only made things worse. Yes the country was already doing bad but Obama is just making it WORSE

  • @shadowvowed187

    lmao....really you do? i bet the standard..."i have black friends" qualifies you as an expert in black history!!! look, if mccain would have won the end results would be almost identical to what we are facing now. the country's economical problems are based on outsourcing manufacturing and tech support jobs to other countries. running a business in the u.s. right now costs way too much money so it only makes economical sense to move it to another place where costs arelower

  • @shadowvowed187

    this a trend that started way back in the 1990s when clinton was in office. blacks who are reg'd to vote in the u.s dwarfs in comparison to whites. so how is it that obama's victory is being attributed to the black vote? obviously many 'o whites and latinos voted for him too.

    you know more about black history than i do....ummmm ROFL please I live it everyday, so did my parents, and their parents and their parents. wiki must be your source?

  • @tjmackabee the country still is going to shit dumb fuck ...

  • @KIMBOSLICE66666

    explitives...then you mention God in the next breath? let's just swap out the chevy for the ford...that still leaves you with a mullet. BTW my Chevy Suburban does have 24s and I use it to tow my Buick Grand National to the drag strip out here in SoCal. i dont classify myself as liberal either. i voted for bho because he is...well you know...all the rest of the policies and red tape comes standard with any commander and chief.

  • @KIMBOSLICE66666

    no matter who we vote for or the reasons behind it... i know one thing...politics are like mexican food...its the same stuff just rearranged.

  • @tjmackabee youre disgusting. I am ashamed that youre an American

  • @tjmackabee Let's hear it for Poll Taxes!

  • @tjmackabee retard go fall in a deep well

  • I agree they are fucking stupid for voting for him based on race. But how many woman voted for mccain because of Palin. I am not saying that makes it right but Obama can't change the color of his skin while mccain chose Palin just to get women voters.

  • THis is fucking sad. Ive watched this video so many times and ive finally came to a conclusion... The fact that people are voting for Obama just because of race is abusing or democratic system. Its rly rediculous that some people are so ignorant that they vote ffor someone based on their skin color. Even if its a white person voting for a white president just due to race, its retarded. It rly drives me nuts how some people can be so fucking stupid and uneducated....FUCK!

  • No surprise

  • "so nobody knows what the fucks going on"

    lol that's awesome

  • Comment removed

  • You're kidding, right? Tax "cuts" and "credits" are NOT the same.

    Way to ignore the things he's lied about. "Good start" toward turning the USA into a socialist society. I promise, you'll hate the guy more than you ever thought possible by the end of his term.

    You don't pay much(or any) in taxes, do you?

  • Comment removed

  • "...changing the whole economy, healthcare, and creating new jobs" Man, you're cracking me up. Please send me your mailing address. I've got a case of Kool-Aid I need to get rid of and it's obvious you drink the stuff by the gallon. Too bad Sal didn't find you to interview as well. You're a hoot. Thanks for dropping by. You've made my day. And BTW, you're welcome...I'm one of the few wage earners that will be paying WAY more than my share of taxes for BO's ridiculous "healthcare plan."

  • Comment removed

  • I definitely have a sense of humor...I think BO supporters are hilarious. And I most likely give away more of my income than you make in a year. "understand[ing] other people and their struggles." I lost everything I owned at one time in my life. Rather than looking for a handout, I picked myself up and took care of myself. BO is all about "entitlements" and bigger government. "Go OBAMA!!!!" I agree...just GO AWAY!

  • ron paul buddy look him up

  • "His stimulus package has saved or created over 150.000 jobs..." What? All government jobs?

  • nope....all $10/hr retail jobs.....thats pretty much the only jobs being created in this economy.

  • Get the facts 1) didnt remove the pat act 2) read the stimulus package 38 states said no 3) did not close git mo 4) did not bring the troops home in 90 days 5) could not end dont ask dont tel policy in military 6) believes there are 57 7) bailled out the banks b4 auditing them 8) gave chrystler ti fiat and told usa they have to pay for it with no regulation over fiat 9) 579 people jailed at notre dame for protsting him. That is a good start wow im impressed i can list more but 500 limit here

  • @anthonyw713

    He got rid of bush's fucking retarded school abstinence policy (what happened to separation of church and state.

    Legalized medical marijuana in some states. He lied about what he was going to do as president. Big fucking deal hes a politician. Bush lied about WMD's thats what politicians do.

  • Bush did not lie about the WMDs. They were there, saw them for myself. For our own security the admin quietly dispossed of what was found.

  • @djuuwi Yeah sure bro.... and he only lost 7 million during the same period.

  • @djuuwi

    A healthcare bill that taxes us now for coverage people wont recieve till like 2015 or later. A stimulus bill that states unemployment wont go above 7-8% here we are at like 9-10% now. I havent recieved a penny of that tax cut yet....and I make under 70 grand a year. Plus we are still in iraq and afgan territory...hmm really what has Obama done?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not sure they're as much idiots as they--both black and white--are racists. Face it, lots of people voted for BO simply because of his color. Most of them couldn't articulate a single platform of Obama's, they just liked the idea of a black Prez. They majority of them today aren't even keeping up with his antics.

  • Comment removed

  • Absolutely disagree. "Worse racists?" Are you saying there are "better racists?" Terrorists come in all colors. Remember Timothy McVeigh? Lily white guy. Muslims are not Muslims because of their color. Understanding why blacks stick together does not negate an ignorant reason for voting. I voted AGAINST BO because he is a liar, a bad man bent on destroying America as we know it. He can be green for all I care--it doesn't change the facts about his beliefs/ideology.

  • Comment removed

  • And if YOU would like a reality check, go ask 10 Obama voters who the VP is, what ONE platform of Obama's they support, etc...you won't get an answer. I know because I work with people that voted BO and have actually asked. NOT ONE could give me an answer. In fact, several ADMITTED the ONLY reason they voted BO was his color. I don't think BO is a terrorist; I just think he's a compulsive liar that's bad for America. (Notice I was able to intelligently express myself without the "f-word.")

  • Comment removed

  • You are ignoring the following promises BO made:

    1. Make Government Open and Transparent

    2. Make it Impossible for Congressmen to slip in Pork Barrel Projects

    3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public

    4. No more secrecy

    5. Public will have 5 days to look at a Bill

    7. We will put every pork barrel project online

    NONE OF THESE HAPPENED!!!

  • You keep using the term "terrorist." Where have I ever called him a terrorist?

    .

    "There were a million white people who voted against Obama because he was black..." (I'm not one of them) True. Are the ones that voted for BO BEACAUSE HE IS BLACK also racists? Didn't think so. PS: I didn't vote FOR McCain.

  • "By the way, you can NOT judge his presidency in 100 days!" Really? Why not? The BO lovers did and declared victory! What's different about their 100 days?

  • this is so fucking funny

  • LOL! I laughed at this SO much. I love how all these people knew absolutely nothing at all about him. I enjoy listening to retards talk about things like this!

  • yeah, go to howard for political advice

  • The last lady was the best. she says McCain doesn't what he was talking about. She has her nerve. Wonder is she knows how to make ice.

  • Yeah, she was a real moron. The only thing that ignorant clown knows about ice is how to smoke it.

  • The truth is that you could do this with either party though. Some people realy shouldn't vote, but they are on both sides...believe me I had this conversation with an 18 year old republican yestarday that made me want to blow my brains out.

  • There's no doubt about that. It just seems that these obamanites support him SOLELY because he's half-black, but what they don't know is that he's ALL fraud.

  • Democracy is an illusion. The sooner you all realise that, the better. These numbskull voters simply illustrate why the elite don't leave the choice in the hands of the masses. It's so wrong, but it's so true.

  • hahahahahaha

    just proves how dumb Obama supporters are

  • Reality check folks. Some people voted for Obama without thinking or understanding the issues. Some people voted against without thinking or understanding the issues. Some people voted for McCain without thinking or understanding the issues. Some people voted against him without...you get the idea. Its a fact of life for a democracy- not everyone will look deeply into things. Its NEVER been a symptom of one party or canidate.

  • I don't think we should this into an Obama issue, yes it got him elected this time, but who can say that wasn't the case with Bush in 2000 and in 2004? People should really pay attention and honestly if they don't know what they're talking about, maybe they shouldn't vote.

  • I love how the last lady says that mcain is uneducated hahaha

  • not to mention that san fran nan told everybody to just vote for it and not to read it!!!!

  • people voted for obama because he is a positive person and has planes for peace and hope for better america and better world so stupid angry and loser republican accept your defeat .

  • BO has "planes"? Wasn't aware he was a pilot...as well as a compulsive liar. So much for being transparent, eh. What happened to gving people--including the thieves that voted for it--time to ACTUALLY read the spendulus package? Not a single Dumbocrat actually read the final bill---it's physically IMPOSSIBLE within the timeframe fromposting to vote. Scumbags!!!

  • You are a dumbass

  • not to mention the fact that this spendulus paln now puts the census in the hands of the white house so that the chicago thug politicians working for barry can redraw district lines in a way that will never allow republicans to win another seat. God if bush ever even hinted of something like that the left would be calling for his head on a silver platter!!!

  • this is very subversive, your not taking into account so many social structures that are effecting how these people enter into the reality of these interviews. people will act like the wrong answer is correct if the right stimulus is inserted bluntly into their face, a man with a microphone who looks official is trusted as someone with the facts, you are all traitors to humanity, check out some soiciology you racist Honkies.

  • While I'm checking out "some sociology," you can be checking out some spelling and grammer.

    .

    Your comment proves that people don't think for themselves.

  • all politicians are crooks!!!

  • A rising chorus of GOP leaders are protesting that the blockbuster Democratic stimulus package would provide up to a whopping $5.2 billion for ACORN, the left-leaning nonprofit group under federal investigation for massive voter fraud. Crook.... I mean cook county politics has come to DC. At this point nothing barry is going to do will surprise me anymore!!

  • What, are you telling me giving money to ACORN isn't going to stimulate the economy? Why that's like saying giving millions for free birth control won't solve the housing crisis?

  • Yes, of course they are going to fund Acorn , so they can steal more votes, and steal our country in the process.

    Its the only way they can win.

    Unfortunately for Acorn and their ilk, the True Americans are waking up to their schemes.

  • Get ready America here comes the OBAMANATION the fall of a great country starts now and its only been a week .only a week and he fights for the rights of terrorists at Guantanamo....

  • i no wat ur trying to Guantanamo, but u cant hold people forever without a fair trial. think about it, give them a fair trial a try and prove there terrorists, if ther not than let them go back to there familys

  • and I suppose we should have given japenese and german POW's fair trials too right? don't you realize what sending terrorists into the american legal system would do, it would tie up the courts, meanwhile some state governors are talking about letting prisoners go because they can't afford to pay the guards. Not to mention the conditions at gitmo are actually better then that of american prisons.

    again, ignorance is dangerous

  • but they might not be terrorists, there inocent untill proven guilty. and they cant hold people (who could be innocent) without trial forever. imagin if u wer arrested on suspision of being a terrorist even tho your not and then being held for years without trial. thats what a few people in there could be experiancing

  • what you fail to realize is that the detainees are enemy combatents captured in combat zones fighting against U.S. troops. Also you fail to realize that THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS therefore they are not entitled to the same legal rights that you and I are entitled to.

    The detainees are POWs just like the germans and japanese were in ww2. And what did we do then, we kept them in POW camps until the war was over, then we sent them back home.

  • "The detainees are POWs...And what did we do then, we kept them in POW camps until the war was over, then we sent them back home."

    A war on terrorism is, by defintion, an endless war. There are no borders or capitals to bomb, and no unified voice to offer an official surrender. And terrorists don't join an army and fight on a battlefield. They hide among normal people. Ergo, people we suspect as being terrorists but are innocent aren't going to be soldiersm they're going to be civilians.

  • you can say what you want, but the detainess were captured on the battlefield. and you are suggesting that we clog our legal system by giving them trials or are you saying that we should let them go? Either option is a disaster, Gitmo is the best choice for now as they are isolated from the American populace and they sure as hell won't be shooting.

    and in what dictionary that you pulled out of your ass, did it say anything about a "war on terrorism" being endless?

  • Absolutely I'm suggesting we put them on trial. If they are indeed guilty, let the world hear exactly what they are and let them pay for those crimes. If they are not, we had no business keeping them there to begin with. On the topic of definitions, what do you mean by 'battlefield'? There are many more people in gitmo than ones we've picked up on battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • let me explain something to you, putting them on trial would only waste our tax dollars (would you be willing to pay for their lawyers?) and it would be severely inneficient. And the world doesn't need to hear anything about whether or not they are guilty. They are enemy combatents its as simple as that. and since we are at war with their bretheren we have every right to detain them besides the alternative would be to take no prisoners (that means killing them).

  • People have been all over the world and placed in gitmo. Fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan are not the only people held there. And yes, I'm sure it will be far harder to try these people fairly than holding them on suspicion. A system based on fair trials and hard evidence isn't there because its convient to implement, its there to separate the innocent from the guilty.

  • you don't seem to get it, these people aren't your every day criminals nabbed off the street like you see on the show Cops. They are prisoners of war, we are fighting a war, not a domestic drug ring. Therefore, to speak of fair trials is insane. That isn't our priority.

  • And before you ask, yes, I'm aware these people aren't American citizens. I'm also familiar with a concept introduced in our Declaration of Independence called 'inalienable rights', rights that all human beings should be entitled to. We based our Bill of Rights on that concept- not because we thought our citizens were entitled to more freedoms than anyone else, but so that we would guranatee those freedoms under our government even when no one else would. Gitmo is a living hypocrisy to this.

  • woa dude, its sounds to me like you are trying to rewrite the constitution there. The constitution is a contract between the people and the government. THE PEOPLE of the U.S. therefore FOREIGNERS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THE SAME RIGHTS THAT AMERICANS ARE ENTITLED TO IN THE U.S. You go to any other country and you will not have the same rights as its citizens.

    Your distorting of the constitution is scary.

  • Your distortion of what I said is scary. Not once do I make any legal claims regarding the Constitution or what it says. But inalienable rights was a concept that clearly extended beyond the scope of who the Constitution could legally protect. So we might not have a legal imperative to respect the rights of folk beyond our borders- but we certainly have an ideological and moral one. Our history and our values are better than this.

  • you don't seem to know your facts, these people do in fact go through precedures which determine whether or not they would be a threat if freed. Its called military tribunals. and another thing, its not whether they are guilty or not, its are they dangerous or
