Suddenly, Cenk Wants People To Chant 'USA, USA!'
What does it take to make a lefty MSMer go all Chuck Norris? A war-on-terrorism success during a Dem presidency, of course.
On his MSNBC show tonight, Cenk Uygur, of all people, regretted that more Americans aren't chanting "USA, USA!"
View video after the break.
Watch Cenk swell his chest with macho patriotic pride. Think he would be calling for more "USA, USA" chants if a Republican were in the White House tonight?
CENK UYGUR: As the news broke late last night that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, celebrations began breaking out all across the country. Chants of "USA, USA," people singing the Star Spangled Banner could be heard well into the early hours of the morning [cut to video of celebrations, people chanting 'USA, USA,' etc.] And there were dozens of reports of celebrations across the country as well. On huge news days like this, people always remember where they were when they heard the news. Well, for me, it was a little anti-climactic, cause I heard about it four hours after everybody else--and I'm in the news business. Why? I was on a plane. I woke up and got online and couldn't believe no one woke me up to tell me.
So I woke up the guy next to me and I said "hey, we got Bin Laden!" I wanted the pilot to make an announcement. When we were by luggage pick-up when we landed, I wanted people to start chanting "USA, USA!" They didn't. People ranging from elders in the Vatican to Mike Huckabee have said what a lot of us are feeling: you shouldn't celebrate anyone's death. Bu-t-t-t-t, in this case, I don't know . . . So, I hated the message we sent in Iraq: that we're going to attack you whether you hit us or not. I think we can be strong and smart. I love the message that we sent yesterday: if you come for us, some day in the middle of the night, when you least expect it, we will come for you. And then we'll chant: "USA, USA!" Just so you know.
Que macho!

Lib media: 'Gee, we sure wish 9/11 had happened when Clinton was in office! That would have given Clinton a chance to show what a great leader he was! Yes, if only 3,000 americans had been slaughtered with Clinton running the show....'

Clearly he meant to say USSA, USSA!
After all, that is where Obama is rapidly taking us as a nation.
Little wonder Cenk is waxing orgasmic.

Sink Yogurt will be upset...

Sink Yogurt and all the other Leftist media hacks will be sorely upset (more than usual) when Obama's 'bounce' from this is short and shallow. The stock market lost ground today, which simply means the reaction will be, "Yeah...you got him. Now, fix the things you screwed up."
Yeah, I'm sure Cenk would

Yeah, I'm sure Cenk would have been chanting "USA, USA!!" if this had happened on Bush's watch.
HA!!
Double standard

If this had happened on Bush's watch Bush would have been (re)labeled a war criminal for invading an ally and killing civilians. Remember the heat Bush took just for saying Osama was wanted 'dead or alive'?

Again, it is hard to applaud

Again, it is hard to applaud President Obama when as Senator, Presidential candidate and President he attacked the harsh interrogation tactics he now used to give the order to kill Osama Bin Laden.
He attacked Bush, Republicans and Conservatives over harsh interrogations and now wants to be applauded when he used these to find and kill Osama Bin Laden.
He used all the tactics the Left claims are wrong. Illegaly invaded a nation, used targated assasination, used harsh interrogations. These are all the tactics Obama used to attack Bush and Republicans of using illegally.
Using Obama's own words, the Lefts' arguments against Bush, Republicans and Conservatives, Obama carried out illegal actions. But don't worry, I never expect the Left to be consistent in their mindless rants.

Really, Owebomba outdoes Bush on war issues
Submitted by merly1 on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 11:36pm.
Massively increased drone attacks (gosh, no trials for those sentenced to a missile), oddly escalates Afghan war even though we now know OBL was far,far away; the Libya kinetic action that even targets Ghaddafi's clan, Gitmo reversal, etc................................it is hard to understand why the lefties that luv Owebomba didnt embrace Bush more.?. I also doubt we will see the lefties arguing that Afghanistan was the wrong war---but this action proves beyond doubt Pakistan IS the hot spot.
He even had an Abu Gharib type scandal with the rogue murderous task force, but neither his supporters or MSM seem to care. I only wish the Prez had a clue on homeland economics, because he is Bush, Jr on killing the bad guys!
Like other mooslims lard butt

Like other mooslims lard butt has to act patriotic, or else he too might get a cap in his ass by obama to prove his own patriotism. Marxists and Nazis don't really care about turning on each other, the nazis turned on Ernst Röhm and the brown shirts by killing them known as the 'Night of the Long Knives'. Stalin sent an assasin to kill trotsky who was hiding in mexico, and ultimately turning on his own inner circle. After all it's all about the cause at the end of the day. Election season is around the corner, apparently every demoncrat is now a real american patriot while the GOP and teaparties are treasonous SOBs.
