Let's see the Republicans push this narrative. I'd love for them to try to impeach Pres. Obama over killing the man responsible for the death of nearly 3,000 Americans.

1. say what?

huh?

2. At first I thought this was about Janet Napolitano and I was thinking she had lost it

Glad that it was just some bitter old Fox News loser. No surprise they would even take it there.

5. That's what I'd thought, too. Never heard of this assclown before.

7. That's what I thought, too

:rofl:

3. LOL. I'm sorry but there really ARE some arguments the American people won't buy.

I mean, don't get me wrong, this country can get sold on a lot of stupid shit, but I don't think this is one of them. In the eyes of many, this is up there with getting Hitler. Of course there are debateable points there, but its definately in the same ball park either way. This is just desperate.

4. Killing the main target after ten years of warfare is an "illegal whim"?

Wasn't it the whole fucking point?

6. He's the same idiot who thought the Iraq war was an

illegal whim. Oh wait, no he wasn't.

9. Actually, Anfrew Napolitano is an antiwar & libertarian.

Here he is grilling Rumsfeld:

8. Looks like he's objectively pro-Bin Laden.

Just borrowing a little rhetoric from the Iraq war sales pitch. :evilgrin:

Today we saw the hypocrisy of the right on full display. These guys lack any sense of irony.

10. Why do they hate America so much?

Republican=pro-terrorist

[jillan]

11. OBL is dead, and the rw wackos cry about it. There is alot of reading over at Media Matters of

their jealous rants.

[Keith Bee]

12. Napalitano: Great ice cream, lousy analyst

:popcorn:

[Very_Boring_Name]

13. Napolitano is actually one of the few reasonable fox personalities

Yes, he's said some incredibly stupid stuff in the past. But he's been 100% consistent on respect for due process.

[Ikonoklast]

19. He's a Fox personality for a good reason

and not a Supreme Court Justice.

Hack.

[Very_Boring_Name]

21. Regardless, he's been very very consistant on this issue, so I think the OP is a little misleading

[Ikonoklast]

23. He is nalso not an expert in any way on international law in regards to

military action.

[Very_Boring_Name]

24. That doesn't mean he has an agenda

[Ikonoklast]

25. No, it means he's talking out his ass.

His opinions on such matters are meaningless.

[nsd]

14. Andrew Napolitano, not Janet. The headline is unclear. /nt

[gkhouston]

15. Yeah, 'cause that's what happens when the WH runs out of his favorite beer.

Good think they still had some pie or he might have gone nuclear on North Korea. :eyes:

[joshcryer]

16. Pfft, I've seen that narrative pushed here.

:shrug:

[jimlup]

17. LUNATICS /nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

18. Completely legal:

[tallahasseedem]

20. Screw him...

We all know what his reaction would be if Bushie would have done it.

Hey Republicans, our President eliminated your boogeyman...get the hell over it!

[Very_Boring_Name]

22. Ahem, as I mentioned up above, he's been 100% consistent on the issue of due process

Even when Bush president. He was against the patriot act, and against wireless wiretapping, for instance.

[Honeycombe8]

26. How was it allegedly illegal? In what way? nt
