FLASHBACK: That Time Obama Called Libya A ‘S**t Show’
Daily Caller ^ | Benny Johnson

Posted on 01/12/2018 8:14:31 PM PST by tired&retired

Following President Trump’s Thursday comments, it’s worth noting that former President Obama called the African country of Libya a “sh*@ show” just two years ago.

The comments were recorded in an interview with The Atlantic. The wide-ranging interview was based on Obama’s foreign policy over his eight years in office. During one portion of the interview, Obama said described Libya as a “mess” to the interviewer but behind closed doors called the country a “sh*@ show.”

The comments received little coverage when made public at the end of Obama’s term.

I truthfully think the MSM still thinks 1986-style agitprop on TV can emasculate Deplorables and facilitate a return of the country to their happy, shabby, statist norm.

No.

Kurt Schlichter stated this last February:

The Left is getting massively out-Alinskyed, and the hilarious thing is that this band of withered hippies, unemployable millennial safe-space cases, and unlovable + unshaven libfeminists don’t even know it.

The Leftist mafia godmaleidentifyingparents pulling the strings of the Marxist Muppets know the score – they are losing. And it’s awesome. Because, finally, the Right has taken Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and shoved it up where #TheResistance don’t shine.

... Trump is clearly willing to use all his powers to beat the living liberalism out of our enemy. Wait, this is where the Fredocons loosen their bow ties and stutter, “Why…we can’t…Professor Wellington Wimpenheimer IV would not approve…it’s so mean…oh, well I never!”

Wake up. Man up. If you ever want to win (and maybe someday even kiss a girl) you need to get real. They hate us, and we either win or we spend the rest of our miserable lives as Boxer the Horse, slaving away to fund the welfare state under the lash of the Left until it decides it’s time to pack us off to the glue factory.

Thank you, Andrew Breitbart. You yelled “Follow me!” and led a movement that had previously been dominated by doofy wonks and bow-tied geeks over the top in a glorious bayonet charge against the paper tiger liberal elite.

For Donald Trump and the revitalized conservative movement, Alinsky's book isn’t some dusty old commie tome - it’s a lifestyle.

As our fellow FReeper xzins put it, Jesse Watters was the one who had it right, when he said "This is how the forgotten men and women of America talk at the bar."

I don't know if Trump actually said the s-word (I know he said he didn't say it). That's besides the point.

The REAL point is that all the ammo fired by the MSM is no contest for Trump-fueled Deplorables.

We knew that already. What else is new?

Some knew, not all.

This is the technique the Dem’s use, i.e. Keep repeating it over and over and over so everyone hears it. (except that we try to stick to the truth)

Truman, Grant, Patton and Churchill are all laughing at the feigned outrage.

Mullatos cannot possibly be racist. Oprah told me so. And everyone just ignores Obama’s white irish mother anyway. At any rate, Emperor Zero and Hillary the Great, made Libya into a dung heap.

A year after he lost the 2004 presidential election to Bush, John Kerry told Rolling Stone that he never expected Bush to “fuck up” the war in Iraq so much. No mainstream newspapers used the exact quote.24 Sports ...

The media knows about this, and deliberately and intentionally suppresses it, because they would do anything to protect their pretty boy America-hater m*slim-lover marxist.

To: I want the USA back

and blamed tribalism...

this was after he helped to destroy the African country of Libya - a Bernie Sanders’ socialist utopia - which led to the massacre of thousands of black Africans living in the country under the protection of Gaddafi, and which led to the rise of Isis via the Benghazi disaster and the death of US Ambassador Christopher Stephens, etc etc.

funny, I can’t remember any of the progressive left marching in the streets against any of this.

Thanks, Bob. You’re right. Whether he said it or not that is how we regular folks talk. And it’s not just now. My WW2 vet dad talked like that. Heck, even in seminary, we’d call a load of shit a load of shit. And the neo-puritans in the media and congress are liars selling us a load of shit.

They got anchors bending the girls over office furniture, and they want us to believe they never heard cussing before.

That doesn’t matter. Obama is a democrat. Democrats get away with everything and nobody mentions it.
