It would nice to see our MEDIA....leave the families of the victims in Newtown alone! 

Let them mourn, without a microphone and a camera in their face!  :rant:

Okay, I was honestly trying to give obama props for his press conference in Newtown.......

and now I discover he is using his speech he gave there to raise money for Obama/Biden campaign......

This is disgusting for anyone to do, let alone our POTUS.....this is incredible and an all-time low.

How anybody can defend this is beyond comprehensible. :rant:

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

The speech is on his blog along with several other post election news articles including the fiscal cliff.  How exactly does that equate to him using the speech to raise money?  Answer:  It doesn't, save for some who get the majority of their 'news,' and hence, opinions, from talking heads like those found on the Fox News Channel.  Really HH, that's a good stretch of the imagination even for you.  :rolleyes:

bullshit locutus!  They posted that video on his obama/biden donation site.  It may not be Obama's fault, but the f'g lowlife moron who runs it has moral values.  That is disgusting to capitalize off of a tragedy like this.  This is not stretch of an imagination..........he clearly is using this speech on a site to raise money for himself.

Can't you even see the dichotomy in your own posts?  Is it Obama's fault or isn't it?

And what of the other news articles that are on there post election?  Is he profiting from the fiscal cliff as well?

And honestly, what drew your attention to the fact that it was there to begin with?  Fox News, or some other entity who simply can't do what Exterminator says so often?  "You lost; get over it!"

...... and the list goes on and on and on.  Shame on him for capitalizing by making all of those posts on that site prior to the Newtown events.  :rolleyes:

I can't even believe you posted that opinion HH!  C'mon, tell us who planted that idea in your brain, because I'll almost guarantee you didn't think of it yourself.

It don't make a lick of difference where I became aware of this.....the fact is, he is capitalizing off of it.  There is NO reason to have that video on his "donation" website.  It is despicable.
It is in my opinion.  The fact is I like what he had to say, it seemed from the heart and sincere.  But to use it for political gain, is wrong.

It's a blog HH.  As I noted above, there are numerous entries there on differing subjects and events, post election.  I could understand your position, and might possibly agree with it, had there been no other entries on there, and suddenly the speech shows up.  Then you may have an argument, and it's one I would probably agree with.

But when that entry is taken in the grand context of everything else on there, I think your indignation is misplaced.

Well, we will agree to disagree...............I think it is just poor taste to link what they did to a site that is asking for money....VERY POOR TASTE.

Speaking of poor taste .....

"Where was Adam Lanza in the days leading to the massacre? Was he handled by someone? Was he drugged? Was he subjected to hypnosis?

The word assassin comes from the Arabic word "Hashish", name for a drug, I believe correct translation is opium. For thousands of years, since ancient times assassins were drugged.

Was Adam Lanza drugged and hypnotised by his handlers to make him into a killing machine as an excuse as the regime is itching to take all means of self defense from the populace before the economic collapse?"
