Obama Effigy Burned in Afghanistan Over Civilian Deaths

AFP: Protesters took to the streets in Afghanistan on Wednesday, burning an effigy of the US president and shouting "death to Obama" to slam civilian deaths during Western military operations. Hundreds of university students blocked main roads in Jalalabad, capital of eastern Nangahar province, to protest the alleged deaths of 10 civilians, mostly school children, in a Western military operation on Saturday.

WORST POTUS IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. OBAMA SUCKS!

“OH NO, they don’t love me”

From: Community Organizer Local 880 SEIU = President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama

I think even the Afghanistan people realize that Obama the M_sl!m is the best thing they could have in the White House. So every once in a while, they will put on a public display to show their h@tred towards America just to give Obama some cover.

I don’t trust stories like this one bit.

FastFacts   December 31st, 2009 - 11:28 am

What is this? Al-Qaeda, those Obama is pandering to are burning his effigy, who would have guessed it. Iran is tearing him apart behind his back calling him inexperienced and ignorant. Venezuela is saying he is Satan like Bush. Raul Castro says that he is a back stabber and is planning to attack Cuba. And I never can understand Kim Jong Il but he is probably saying the same things. Not to mention Russia and China talking behind his back. Everyone Obama is buddying up to is stabbing him in the back. What are we going to do.

You mean randomly bombing them (continuing Bush’s strategy) won’t win hearts and minds?

Your government is ensuring war so the cabal controlling things can remain in power and rich.

It seems that the uneducated Afgans are smarter than most Americans.

Desiree you beat me to it, the answer is never, no matter what he does, he will be worshipped, he cannot be wrong.

I felt safer as soon as Obama was sworn in, didn’t you?

Rexter, do you honestly believe we “randomly bomb” people? Like the army just closes its eyes, points to a spot on the map, and says o.k. drop one there!? Or do you really think we go out of our way to waste expensive bombs and ammo on innocent people? Do you actually know anyone in the military?

Would this classify as a hate crime? We might need to send the FBI over there and arrest some people, but only if they get Marandized first. Then taken to trail in New York. Then get Holder to defend their trial location…oh the hell with it, lets burn more effigies….

Can we now officially say “obama lied people died?”

Ted   December 31st, 2009 - 12:37 pm

To offset the carbon emissions from this protest activity, the US government should demand 14 carbon credits from the Afghan government.

Call in the UN if the Afghani’s don’t comply!

temple62   December 31st, 2009 - 1:01 pm

Obama’s time has run out the people neither adore or are enamored by his “hoax and shame”. It has been one year and yet Obama is still trying blame his personal incompetence and indecision on George W. Bush. Until Obama admits he lack experience and competence to handle the job of president, there will be more of these mock hangings overseas and in the U.S.

Booger Jones   December 31st, 2009 - 1:17 pm

Well, Well, Well……this creates quite the paradox for the libtards. You can’t praise the peaceful Muslim religion when they take to the street and burn your leader in effigy……also – how can they not call this a “hate” crime against a black man? Try doing this in Texas and see how “free” America really is…I mean with Bush it was OK – no one cared (except decent hard-working Americans – but we don’t count). Maybe Obama can buy these people off???? I mean – they are really probably only mad because their piece of the pie is missing and they can’t swim here to get on the public dole…..I mean – it’s not like they can just sneak across the desert to do it.

Do you think the military should be determining who is innocent or “guilty”? What is guilty? You are just the sort of co-dependent enabler of fascism that our government likes.

Looks like a hate crime to me….

OOPS sorry, I forgot, this is an Islamic country, there are no hate crime laws, only Blasphemy laws where non believers are concerned. In many Islamic countries the penalty for Blasphemy is death. Death by cruel and inhumane methods such as stoning in a public square- not by needle while you are asleep.

Point is, that no matter if the POTUS is black, white, yellow, or purple, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or Independent; moveover, they could care less that the POTUS’s father and or relatives are Muslim, or if the POTUS lived and visited Islamic countries, etc. Domestic Politics have nothing to do with it, these people have their own agenda and want to harm us physically, emotionally, and economically in any way they can. Think about it when the next airline bomber hides his weapon in his anus, and instead of taking off your shoes, you have to disrobe, bend over, and get a rectal exam to board a plane.

DrEdu   December 31st, 2009 - 1:39 pm

GEORGE BUSH IS BEHIND THAT TOO.

Can someone explain these people they are not supposed to burn the image of the Affirmative Action President?

Kris   December 31st, 2009 - 1:53 pm

I have to agree with previous posters that these people must be racist. No other reason to hate Obama right?

I thought as soon as this Pres took office that all the hatred was going to melt away? Everyone was going to love us and we were going to sit in a circle, hold hands & sing campfire songs?

I thought race was going to be a non-issue once Obama took office?

What is going wrong? Didn’t these people get the memo from the MSM about how they are supposed to think?

Mike   December 31st, 2009 - 1:56 pm

The adage “war is hell” applies to Afghanistan, needless to say, and consequently there are instances where innocent people get killed unfortunately. If the Afghan’s are really serious about driving the Taliban and al-Qaeda out of their country then they need to show a little respect to the countries that have sent men and women in uniform there to do just that though. The number one reason Afghanistan is dragging its feet so much with their lackluster effort to rid their country of the Taliban and al-Qaeda is because the President of Afghanistan i.e. Hamid Karzai is “corrupt” beyond belief (all words no action) and his own country is taking the brunt of his mismanagement and corrupt deeds by the inefficiency it has produced in the war on terror there. Hamid Karzai is showing preferential treatment to Taliban and al-Qaeda warlords and his misguided “love” for the enemy is sending conflicting signals throughout the whole of Afghanistan and consequently the average citizens of Afghanistan are portraying the liberators as the enemy, instead of the other way around. It is truly unfortunate with all the corruption that is taking place in Afghanistan “from the top on down” and until the corruption is dealt with and eradicated, the greater the hindrance it will place on our troops and the troops that the U.N. has placed there. It is also truly unfortunate that Hamid Karzai was placed back into office on the heels of a “corrupt” election, and unless he does a complete turn around in his ethics and cleans up the corruption in his country (including his own) it will only go to prolong the war there unfortunately. Sad but true in my opinion.

Rexter's quiz...   December 31st, 2009 - 2:11 pm

1) “Do you think the military should be determining who is innocent or “guilty”?

Answer: YES!

2) “What is guilty?”

Answer: AIDING AND ABETTING REGIMES THAT KILL AMERICANS (I’d also add that if you do know what “guilty” is, than you also don’t know what “innocent” is, and ultimately you can’t objectively defend anyone).

Any more questions, Rexter?

Oh, I agree with you 100% “Evil Twin”. The picture just reminded me of an old LOOK or LIFE magazine picture I saw once.

Yes Sir, you are correct in the fact that they could care less about skin color or whatever. It’s them against anyone who is not Muslim and living in the 5th century as they are. When we finally wake up, it’s gonna be too late I’m afraid!

Sure, when do we bomb Israel for killing Americans?

Rexter's quiz...   December 31st, 2009 - 4:12 pm

Rexter, You want to know when we are going to bomb Israel for killing Americans? That would have been a question to ask when your boy Johnson was in charge, not an entire generation later when people STILL dispute what (or why?) happened. Seriously, is a 43 year old conspiracy theory ALL you got? Which part of Israel would you suggest we bomb for that btw.

Folks, you can’t take Rexter seriously. He is a Muslim propogandist who claims to be an American. If he is an American, then he’s probably KKK. My guess is he’s a Muslim…maybe from the Detroit area. Muslims are scum!

I doubt that his burning will breach the impenetrable narcissism of oblasphemous. But it makes for some levity in the ones capable of knowing reality (like myself).

You obviously don’t know much about the true Klan that is still in America today. Despite all the facade klans on the federal payroll that pop up over the last 30 years, there is a true one that exists and they certainly don’t cotton to muzzies…nor phoney conservatives who control the GOP.

They are complaining because they feel a few “innocent muslims” were killed?? First, there is no such animal. Second, As I remember, when over 3,000 innocents were killed in Manhattan on 9/11, there was dancing in the streets in the muslim countries. They cheered their terrorists citizens on!
