"Lord's Resistance Army objectives. I have them here. 'To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people.' Now, again Lord's Resistance Army is who Obama sent troops to help nations wipe out. The objectives of the Lord's Resistance Army, what they're trying to accomplish with their military action in these countries is the following: 'To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people; to fight for the immediate restoration of the competitive multiparty democracy in Uganda; to see an end to gross violation of human rights and dignity of Ugandans; to ensure the restoration of peace and security in Uganda, to ensure unity, sovereignty, and economic prosperity beneficial to all Ugandans, and to bring to an end the repressive policy of deliberate marginalization of groups of people who may not agree with the LRA ideology.' Those are the objectives of the group that we are fighting, or who are being fought and we are joining in the effort to remove them from the battlefield."

Lord's Resistance Army objectives. I have them here.

The 2005 indictments include charges of murder, rape, the sexual enslavement of women and girls and forcing children to fight. The Ugandan army has also been accused of using child soldiers, but the LRA's reputation for brutality is unparalleled. When Kony's troops attack a village, they usually kill most of the adult population and abduct the children. They have been accused of forcing boys to kill their parents as an initiation rite. Girl are shared out among the commanders as sex slaves. The LRA has practised mutilation as a tool of terror, cutting off the lips, noses and ears of its victims.

Those are the objectives of the group that Rush is defending, or who are being fought and Rush is joining in the effort to keep them on the battlefield.

I swear if Obama oppose Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union Rush would declare himself in favor of Nazi Communism.

Oh come on Rush. Yes, they say all these nice things about bringing an end to human rights violations and bringing economic prosperity to Uganda, but what evil regime doesn't say things like that? No tyrant has ever won power on the platform of 'do bad things, hurt people, destroy my enemies, cart your family off to prison in the night'

Godwin aside, when Hitler was ELECTED to office it was on a platform of bringing economic prosperity back to Germany, ensuring that Germany had the natural resources to compete with the world, eliminating seditious elements from society and winning back Germany's 'living space' in the Sudetanland.

Aside from the parts about gaining more territory for Germany these were ideals that found favour amongst the elites of other European countries. They thought that finally Germany had found a strong direction, and boy, wouldn't it be nice if we could have a Hitler in charge of our country?

Obviously if Hitler had announced that he planned to start a war with the three most powerful nations of the time, expend all of the country's resources pursuing world domination, send millions to their deaths in a doomed attempt to invade Russia, leave Germany divided and conquered for 40 years and murder millions in an attempt to achieve 'racial purity' he wouldn't have got much backing. Except maybe from the Tea Party.

"Duplicate."

I'm positive this has been covered in a previous thread; the fat subhuman blubberbag opening his mouth, only to later put his foot in such, when it was revealed to him the real nature of the LRA, and why Obama deemed it necessary to take action against them. Because the LRA are themselves Dominionist dictators.

Ergo, major backpedalling by Limburger. And proof that the truth hurts, especially when it touches a religio-political nerve, re. the basis of his own broadcasting schtick. Because admitting that everything you say, do and think is wrong, and therefore having to do a complete volte-face, thus losing not only your sponsors would be bad mm'kay, and we can't be having that now, can we eh, Rushiepoos?! [/hyper-sarcasm]

As if being a hyper-left-wing Atheist would kill him? It'd just mean having a different audience. Ever hear of Max Keiser & his "Keiser Report" on Russia Today, Limburger?

They keep telling us that not all ~~Muslims~~ Christians are terrorists. That Christianity can't be reduced to the LRA, Anders Breivik, the Army of God, the Ku Klux Klan, the pogroms, and so on. That those represent only a small, marginal population of extremists. That they are or were not "true Christians" anyway.

Yet, when we hear those so-called "moderate Christians" speak about terrorism, it's always to support the odious actions of their brothers in faith. Christianity as a whole is a dangerous cult, and was recognized as such by the senate and people of Rome. Then as now, those Jesusists who take the full measure of their ideology are constantly protected and supported by their "peaceful", more cowardly brethren.

Folks, don't be fooled by the conservative media and their constant denial of the inherent violence in Christianity. There is no such thing as a "moderate Christian". They will try to convert people by any means, including violent or self-destructive ones, because that's what their religion taught them - that only "true believers", those who fully commit themselves to the spread of the cult, will be allowed in Heaven.

Jesus didn't come to bring peace, but a sword. It is time to stand true to our Greco-Roman heritage - and fight back.

@armogohma : Ha ha. Gotcha.

Applying the old islamophobic tropes to Christianity is pretty surreal, but I find it to work suprisingly well. And to be honest, Jabba clearly asked for it. Quoth the Pundit :

"Now, Andy McCarthy, National Review Online, one of the editors over there, I mean this is a great, great piece. His headline: "Inventing Moderate Islam -- It can't be done without confronting mainstream Islam and its Sharia agenda." It's a long piece, but McCarthy says we're being force-fed the idea there are moderate Muslims pouring out of our elite, totally bought-off universities. And McCarthy explains there's no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Now wait 'til the Drive-Bys get hold of this piece. I mean they're going to literally freak out. It is a long, long piece. But the point is there's no such thing as moderate Islam."

I would just love to beam Limbaugh to Uganda. Let him materialize alone on some street somewhere. He wouldn't last a day in Kampala, even less out in the country.

After even a few minutes with the LRA he'd be barfing his guts out. What a fucking hypocrite.

Here's a quote from the Wiki article: "The LRA is accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation, and forcing children to participate in hostilities. There have also been reports of cannibalism and child-sex slavery within the group. It is one of foreign organizations designated as terrorist by the United States and its leadership is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity."

It's interesting that Limbaugh supports these thugs, but not surprising.

@Canadiest

Poo-tin is an ex-member of the KGB. In his indoctrination... er, I mean 'education', no doubt he'll have learned about the 'Great Patriotic War' (what we in the West refer to as WWII), and one of the events which started such; one word: Sudetenland.

Indeed, if he ever needed to learn about such in the first place: what Hitler & co. did to my country is pretty much ingrained into the UK's collective historical/cultural memory, so it's kinda fucking difficult to forget. [/National Front/BNP/UKIP]

Remember one of the historical events covered in the opening ceremony of your 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, o Vladdy-boy...?!

Well, enjoy your Muslim Tatars in Crimea, whilst the rest of Ukraine has some of the most fertile agricultural land in Eastern Europe. Can't eat gas, Vlad.

And unlike you o Poo-tin, said Tatars have very long memories. They don't forget what was done to them: by the KGB.

Moral: 'Hubris'. You'll learn of that. Rather soon, methinks. One word: Afghanistan. Rush Limburger has, and only too well, and once too often; can you say 'Slut'? Also 'Sponsors', Rushiepoos? I know you can.
