John Bolton speaks ... anyone care? - john dough - 08-05-2009
John Bolton's squealing about saving 2 American lives really show's how classless and out of touch he is. Who cares that a person from the opposite party did something that you disagree with; is now the time that you complain that Clinton was instrumental in saving their lives? He definitely lives the credo of party before everything else.
He reminds me of the neighborhood kid that no one wanted on their team and now that he is older, seeks to take away attention others get when there is good news. I think that if Bolton was sent over, we would be at war now. He was about at diplomatic as a kick in the shins.

A larger megaphone does not equate to being correct. Look at Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin; they are on Fox quite regularly but when not in the friendly confines of the far right wing media, they cannot hold their own.
Bolton is an idiot.

Bolton said you can't talk Iran out of their nuclear bomb. He is proven right every day.

Maybe to you, he is right, but to the majority of the population he is way, way off base. It really shows what he is made of when he criticizes saving American lives; most Americans would want their loved ones/fellow citizens home rather than in a foreign prison, yet his feathers were ruffled because of this. Maybe he should spend some time in a North Korean prison; do you think he would want to come home, regardless of who frees him?
This guy is no patriot; he found it more important to show that he was "correct" than to free these journalists. There are some on the extreme right where this is far more important.
It does not surprise me that you agree with his way of thinking.

I sleep just fine, thank you. You can have a differing opinion but you can also have tact; to draw attention to yourself and make a political statement so close to this event was classless.

John..."but to the majority of the population he is way, way off base"
Do you have a link to that statistic?
From Billb's link
"To be sure, out of the mainstream views like Bolton's ought to have a place in our national debate. But it does sure seem that editorial boards instinctively turn to him time and time again for North Korea and Iran commentary. "
Maybe because he's usually right?

Do most people feel that it is normal or patriotic to joke about nuking an American city?

If someone on the left was to say that nuking where the sitting president calls home, the right was have a meltdown, but this sort of humor sits well with them. All I am saying that his points he floats are nowhere near patriotic and he is more wrong than not. Here he is doing his best to backpedal from what he said and is in full denial mode:

You are right, I don't agree with him. I think people quote him to stir things up because he is usually the far end of the spectrum as far as opinion goes, not because he is factually correct.
Was he right on Iraq, where he was a HUGE cheerleader that said that the WMDs existed? Still waiting on those...oh wait: the administration he stumped for said that they did not exist.
Was he right that the we could not have negotiations with North Korea? Oh wait - we just freed 2 Americans from what could be a death sentence in jail there by talking with them.
Was he right on wanting to wanting to pare down countries from the the UN, saying ..."The Secretariat building in New York has 38 stories. If it lost ten stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."

He is a one man opinion side show and he is wrong on just about everything he opens his trap on.
