Dennis Kucinich multiplies loaves, fishes

[Orrex]

Film at 11:00.

[flvegan]

1. Vegans don't touch fish.

Come on!

[Orrex]

2. His powers are beyond your comprehension

He got them from that UFO at Shirley MacClaine's house.

[WeDidIt]

4. He must be a lizard person. n/t

[Orrex]

5. Creepy David Icke lizard-person or super-hot V lizard-person?

Big difference!

[WeDidIt]

6. Creepy David Icke lizard-person. n/t

[Orrex]

7. Well, then he's lost my vote.

[NoPasaran]

12. But he's married to a super-hot V lizard person

Obviously

[Orrex]

14. That's another of his miracles

Any other average-looking older man who married an attractive woman half his age would bring down the wrath of the Outrage Brigade, but somehow Dennis manages to avoid this condemnation.

Miraculous!

[SIMPLYB1980]

48. ....

:spray:

[dionysus]

50. oh, if a republican married someone half his age, cries of sleazebag would be going up.

but i don't think it's very productive to go there.

[Odin2005]

11. It's Boca immitation fish!

:dunce:

[flvegan]

13. Now that's just silly!

Soy can't swim.

:rofl:

[roody]

38. Look out. It has GMOs in it.

[Odin2005]

45. Good, I like glowing in the dark!

:)

[Dr. Strange]

3. As long as the loaves and fish consented...

who am I to judge?

[NYC_SKP]

8. I was thinking more of lemmings... or, the Pied Piper... or, People Jumpin in a Hole...

[ashling]

16. Are those folks rushin

to a tea party, or did they hear Sarah Palin's voice screeching out of that hole?

[DerekG]

9. Which would make Obama...Caesar, right?

n/t

[Orrex]

10. I don't care what kind of salad he eats

[DerekG]

15. Or which country he bombs?

Barackus Obamus has a nice ring to it.

[Orrex]

17. I know it's hard to believe, but...

It's possible to condemn some of Obama's actions while supporting other actions.

It's kind of like the way Kucinich's supporters praise him for the courage of his convictions while conveniently overlooking his opposition to reproductive freedom--a stance that he abandoned as a matter of political expedience.

[PeaceNikki]

18. FTR, your last sentence is a point I've made and been torn apart here about.

I agree.

[DerekG]

19. Nothing trumps war and peace

On this, you either stand with Christ, or Caesar.

[Orrex]

23. Slow down--your subtle and nuanced reasoning is making my vision blur

[DerekG]

35. Bless me with your wisdom, sophisticate

Explain to me why my tax dollars are being used to murder little brown children.

And then explain why Dennis isn't a hero for telling the private insurance companies to go fuck themselves.

[Orrex]

36. Why are you asking me to defend two arguments that I have never made?

[DerekG]

37. Your flippant attitude towards a principled man confused me

I wouldn't think anyone opposed to Mr. Hope n' Change's Middle East slaughter and private insurance reform could churn out the sort of OP that sits at the top of this page.

My mistake.

[Orrex]

41. Don't feel bad.

Kucinich's acolytes are frequently dazzled by what they perceive as his incorruptible character, such that they dismiss criticisms of him as "flippant" or the like, and they identify such criticisms as symptomatic of Obama worship, etc.

[TZ]

46. and my dead ancestors in WWII concentration camps

stand with War. Because if we hadn't gone to war, the rest of my family would be dead. But hey, whats 6 million Jews more or less, right?

[G_j]

21. "political expedience" is your own spin

I guess you thought nobody would notice that you stated that as a fact?
Tell us how you know his reason for changing his stance.

[Orrex]

25. The San Francisco Chronicle had a good article on it

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0223-05.htm

But Kucinich also possesses one of the most anti-abortion voting records of any Democrat in Congress.

You can argue that Kucinich had his change of heart after much reflection and deep thought, and you can argue that the decision was wholly independent of the realization that he'd look like an asshole if he went into the Democratic campaign season as a foe of reproductive freedom. You can argue these points, but probably not successfully.


If any other candidate had undergone such a significant and conspicuously-timed change of position, I doubt you'd be as willing to believe the integrity of that candidate's claims.

[G_j]

32. it entirely depends on the person

that is still your opinion. Kucinich is not like any other politician I've known. One certainly can argue about his motivation.
Unless he stated it was political expediency, it's conjecture..

[Orrex]

33. Tell it to NARAL.

[suzie]

39. He's more dishonest than almost any other politician?

[LWolf]

42. Nero. nt

[eleny]

20. Link?

[Orrex]

22. Here you go

[eleny]

28. lol!

[Orrex]

29. Cogent

:evilgrin:

[rollingrock]

24. I thought that was Obama's job

nt

[Orrex]

26. For him, it's more of a hobby

[wuushew]

27. This is a poor post and nothing to be proud of

I can't beleive people are recommending it or that you are kicking it.

[Orrex]

30. Who's recommending it? I demand that they stop immediately.

At last count, it was squarely in the <0 territory.

[The Straight Story]

31. I'll criticize Dennis like I do Obama - the only Jesus's around here are Chavez and Castro

:rofl:

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. Ah yes, Kooch, a DU hero. Has anyone ever wondered why Kooch has never...

run for statewide office? I'll tell you why. He'd lose. Let's face it, Dennis Kucinich is our Michelle Bachmann.

[suzie]

40. +1

[mmonk]

43. We're not followers. But maybe it is others that are.

Labels over substance.

[Le Taz Hot]

44. May I just say,

I just LOVE the "ignore" feature! I see you have two of these hate Kucinich threads already this morning. It's a two fer! :eyes:

[freddie mertz]

47. Stop it.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

49. Oh He Does Not. He Only SAYS He's GOING To.

[dionysus]

51. he says how cool it would be to multiply the loaves, but never actually does it.

[Fla_Democrat]

52. Useless talent unless...

he can make tartar sauce as well. :9

[conscious evolution]

53. He tried to

but the naysayers,gatekeepers,trolls and the others in the cast of usual suspects got into such an uproar that he would dare try such a thing that the fish rotted and the bread went stale and nobody got nothing.
