UN staff to vote on no-confidence motion against Annan

<< < (2/2)

Trauma-san:
When did I say liberal was a bad word? In this convo, I didn't, I just stated that Bill Clinton,... A LIBERAL, would fit in well with the U.N., a liberal organization.  Get a fuckin' GRIP.


P.s., Liberal is a bad word, but I wasn't even talking about that.  I just said Clinton would be elected Secretary general, and I even paid him a compliment.  Stop getting your panties in a bunch. 

Don Rizzle:
it wasn't particularly what you said it more something i noticed in a run up to your recent election bush would use the word liberal about kerry as much as he could. so why is liberal such a bad thing in american politics trauma?

Ant:
Conservative Columnist in NYT Op/Ed piece comes to this conclusion:

"This marks the end of the beginning of the scandal. Its end will not begin until Kofi Annan, even if personally innocent, resigns - having, through initial ineptitude and final obstructionism, brought dishonor on the Secretariat of the United Nations."

--- apparently 'ineptitude and obstructionism' are grounds for dismissal only when its in regards to political opponents.  Of course, the President's refusal to testify on record and alone, before the 9-11 commission is not worthy of criticism, nor is their initial desire to prevent Condi Rice from testifying and eventually placing severe limitations on her testimoney, nor is their initial opposition to the very idea of a 9-11 commission.  And a mismanaged war in Iraq, a mismanaged economy, more than a few scandals, and a looming investigation into whether Halliburton was unfairly given no bid contracts for Iraq aren't grounds for criticism either.  Afterall, its unpatriotic to criticize the president, that is, if he is a republican.  The party of personal responsibility and accountability believes in their ideals only when it relates to 'the enemy' while, personally, I believe in holding both sides accountable for their wrong doings. Clearly, the 'liberal' international community at the U.N. feels the same way.  They believe in holding their own kind accountable when they make inexusable errors.

Anywayz, Engel will now call me a ignorant, bleeding heart liberal, or something of that nature, and post a picture of Colin Powell to prove republican voters, who voted to keep segregation part of their state constitution, and who elect candidates that write books entitled 'favored races,' aren't racist.    Oh wait, that was another thread. 

acbaylove:
Sorry Ant, but your point is? ::)

Ant:
The propensity of many current republicans to apply double standards.
