That damned Message

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama, Foreign Policy

Standard Republican response to a Democratic President doing their favorite thing (going to war) is to make up reasons why, under this President it's just a bad idea.

I've said it before and I will say it again, I do not understand how Republicans live with the day-to-day cognitive dissonance of being Republican.

Also, can't wait for the comment troll to come and accuse us of supporting wars under Obama, despite the fact that there's no evidence available for that.

@DaveyK: In case this was a test, to see whether anyone would care or even notice if you posted so late, yes, yes we do. ;)

What the heck is that red thing next to Mallard supposed to be? I don't know much of such things, but all I can figure is that it might look like a bong. Is Tinshley really taking the unemployed-duck angle that far?

As for this horrendous pile of shit masquerading as a comic: Get back to me Tinsley when Obama kisses the King of Saudi Arabia.

Sounds more like Bush to me. Is MF actually using his time machine to bash Bush?

CW in LA said...

A good test to see if, after several days of finger-butt, the duck crotch would still be icky. And sure enough, it is!

DiR said...

Wait, you mean like Bush and Saudis, Tins?
Or Reagan and Iran?
I'm confused.

Tog said...

Wow, look who's talking about making things up as they go along...

Hey, Tinsley! Remember the Iran-Contra affair? You know, when the men running the country while Reagan slept sold arms to an enemy nation and funded terrorists they called "freedom fighters?"

Lecture me about standard when you take Reagan's decaying balls out of your mouth.

Reagan and Iran, Reagan and Iraq: Tomato, tomahto...

Over the last decade I've learned that right-wingers' memories are only engaged during Democratic presidents' terms.

Randy, I think the duck's jerking it into an empty beer can. After which it's still empty.

The point of today's "comic" is that presidents should decide what to do BEFORE gathering facts, and if new facts come along, the president should NOT change what he is doing.

Learning is for liberals!

Well, yeah, no shit, what, you just noticed this? That America never gives a rat's ass how vicious or corrupt a government is, as long as they're our "friend"? Like when Saint Ronny couldn't decide whether to support our oldest ally, Great Britain, or literally-Nazi-loving Argentina in the Falklands War? Rummy's handshake with Saddam, when we gave him anthrax starter cultures?

So, are you saying Obama's bad for attacking Libya and not also, hmm, Bahrein and the Saudi Arabian troops killing civilians there? That's what you're saying, right, attack our "friend" Saudi Arabia?

The U.S. has always been more than willing to prop up or ignore brutal, murderous dictatorial regimes as long as it was profitable or geopolitically convenient to do so.

In Tinsleyworld, of course, this phenomenon (like all our nation's problems) began on January 20, 2009.

rewinn said...

@Frank - don't you remember when George W Bush declared war on terrorism itself!

The Punditocracy were a-giggle with the concept of An End To Evil!

To accomplish this, it was necessary to ally with the House of Saud, a royal house so committed to destroying evil that it wants to behead a guy for cursing.

Why is Obama pro-blasphemy and pro-evil?

Rootbeer said...

I'm pretty sure the wording of this strip was made up as the author went along.

Here we see one of many disadvantages of having the back of a presumed television set be the mouthpiece of your comic; I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS SPEAKING. Is it an administration official? A mainstream media reporter? A pop tart? Your guess is as good as mine.

David in NYC said...

@Rootbeer --

Given the drivel that is being produced, does it make any difference where it originates?

Anonymous said...

Bad comment troll, mentioning the truth! he makes me so man. There are no wars under Obama, and the anti-war movement is perfectly consistent in supporting the bombing and maiming of people, as long as the president is a Democrat.

I'm man too, Nonnie!
