Gitmo Terrorists for Obama
With this, I could easily rest my case against Barack Hussein Obama:
More than 80 attorneys who have been offering free-of-charge legal services to Guantánamo detainees issued a statement Monday supporting Democrat Barack Obama's presidential bid.
Now we know who Lynne Stewart must be rooting for.
Like Lettuce McCain, Obambi calls for closing Club Gitmo in an effort to appease our enemies. But that's not enough: he also wants to grant the terrorists held there legal privileges they do not deserve, as if they were not foreign unlawful combatants but American citizens held for conventional crimes.
Meanwhile:
Republican candidate Mitt Romney, in contrast, has advocated doubling the detention center — which today holds about 275 foreign men as enemy combatants and cell space for more than 1,500.
The Pentagon regards Gitmo as essential for incarcerating "high-value detainees" — guys like Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, who earned Rosie O'Donnell's undying affection by planning the 9/11 atrocities. Apparently facile posturing is more important than national security to Obambi, McLame and other irresponsible liberals.

"Apparently facile posturing is more important than national security to Obambi, McLame and other irresponsible liberals."
Guantanamo is not "national security" (not for the American nation, anyway...)
It's just the typical feel-good emotionalism and pandering to the wingnut base, who love torture, particularly Muslims.
None of it renders us any safer then before, and, in fact (rightfully) further diminishes the reputation and high moral ground America once enjoyed.
Americans aren't fooled by your pathetic little fairy tales anymore (witness Giuliani's delightful implosion).

"It's just the typical feel-good emotionalism..."
Once again, Hash steals from Conservative posters. It is well known that LIBERALISM is all about "feeling good" about yourself and acting on EMOTION, rather than rational thought.
"...and pandering to the wingnut base, who love torture, particularly Muslims."
Now Hash admits that muslims TORTURE people! Not long ago he would hotly DENY such a report.
Hash, your insanity is getting worse.

Is it just me or is hashhead always defending the muzzies? I know hash your not a religious fanatic, you're a MUSLIM religious fanatic or just a pissed off Jew who hates himself.

Now that Fred's not in the race, looks like I'll be supporting Romney for President!
So he's a Mormon... But to the rest of the world (which is where I live), what matters is a hardline American stance against global terrorism. Mitt gets my vote over Huckabee.
It's just the typical feel-good emotionalism and pandering to the wingnut base, who love torture, particularly Muslims.
Hash obviously gets his infromation from MSM coverage. If he were a longtime Moonbattery reader, he'd know that Gitmo detainees have better living standards than ordinary petty criminals in county jails!

Beeb Reveals: Gitmo Terrorists Really Are Tortured
Guards gave him new glasses, but got the prescription wrong.
They expected him to use "cheap, branded, unscented soap."
They presented him with a prison newsletter that was not to his liking.
They provided him with fans that aren't quiet enough.
They insufficiently inflated the balls in the rec room, so that they "hardly bounce."

Gitmo Vacationers Fear Release
"If I am sent back to China, they will torture me really bad," whined one terrorist. "They will use dogs. They will pull out my nails."
Said their lawyer, "Home is China, and in China you disappear into a dungeon and no one ever hears from you again."

Club Gitmo Vacationers Packing On Pounds
The detainees are advised that they are offered more food than necessary, to provide choice and variety, and that consuming all the food they are offered will result in weight gain.

Still want to hold to your Moonbat fantasy that America is really evil and a poor hostess?
Taxpayers get to finance shiny new Korans for Club Gitmo vacationers.
Prayer caps and prayer mats are also provided.
Recorded calls to prayer are broadcast five times a day. Guards must maintain a respectful silence while the terrorists are praying.
Signs point out the direction to Mecca, where the meteorite Muslims pray to is stored.
Most of the guests also get prayer rugs, prayer beads, and prayer oil.
Non–hunger-striking vacationers at Gitmo were served a feast to honor the end of Ramadan.
In fact, they were served the Eid al Fitr feast twice. The first time around, the Gitmo guests wouldn't eat because they didn't believe Ramadan was really over, choosing to believe instead that our military was trying to trick them.

Compare to what the pious and humans-rights loving jihadist do. Tut, tut, how dare the American infidels use such amateurish torture methods? They are a shame to militaries the world over!
Honestly, why are US taxpayers paying to keep the Gitmo scumbags wallowing in luxury for a lifetime? This is what you get when the Liberal opposition to the death penalty runs its course. I guess only truly innocent babies are allowed to be executed.
Awaiting your mature and seasoned rebuttal, hashie and pals.

And on a final debunking:

More Than 23,000 Terrorists Killed
23,000 murderers who are not free to bomb my house, thankyouverymuch.

Everyone on this site believes that obama is such a bad person but, if any other person gets elected the first thing they are going to do is bomb Iran. you know what that means it means nuclear warfare russia. at-least his is thinking diplomatically and not with armed force. You ever wonder why the Muslim jihadist hate us so much(i say Jihadist because not the whole Muslim community hates america) it because of forced democracy. final statement if the threat of terrorists ivading our country is so high why hasn't the supposed leader terrorism been caught, Osama Bin Laden, o thats rights its because we are in a country that we attacked on false accusation, built on lies from the president.
