[...] Obama didn't pass this test? David Frum has some interesting thoughts on this being related to the punishment of 3 Navy SEALs for giving a prisoner a bloody lip: [...]

So, finally you admit that there are tasteless racist posts on your own blog. Then you say you are unable to delete them. I will take that with a large pinch of salt.

FYI I tried to delete that LLORT3 comment but am unable . . .

You lot crack me up with all your conjecture & assumptions re the military. You can’t learn soldiering by reading books; the saying goes, “You talk the talk, do you walk the walk?”

You obviously don’t; you quibble around the point; you are a quibbler. There is no honor here- I’m outta here. S.L.

Then Linnane you endorse and agree with racism. It’s BS to say that you have no control over racist remarks on YOUR OWN BLOG. Here you do not have control and neither should you.

Your code of ethics is sadly lacking in my opinion. I’m not talking about your wife. I asked if you would be happy for someone to call your wife a “Klingon” as has been said about Michelle Obama on your blog.

I have a personal Code of Ethics that includes: “Never say anything behind a person’s back that you are not willing to say to their face.” Having said that, I have no control over what comments are entered on STORMBRINGER just as I have no control over what you say here; afterall it’s not as if you’re talking about my wife while standing right in front of me, now, is it?

Linnane, you only have to read your blog to know that you are a racist, and that you surround yourself with racists. Do you call your wife a “Klingon” as Michelle Obama was described on your blog?

Mack,

Thanks for your reply. I think we agree that the piece above is not well presented. However, your account at least presents a sensible way of construing it. My response would be, however, that it is highly speculative (to say the least), as you yourself admit. Besides, when this situation occurred I took it to be an attempt by Obama to actually put to rest the belief that he _wouldn’t_ act or authorize the use of deadly force if necessary. So actually framing it in this way makes perfect sense with everything you say in your latter paragraphs. He doesn’t want to look trigger happy, but at the same time he doesn’t want to seem unwilling to use deadly force. The possible ramifications of this particular situation were tiny, given that we were dealing with pirates. So giving the go-ahead even with limited info was a win-win for him. To be honest, it seemed pretty cut and dry to me with respect to framing.

I am also taken back by the completely unprofessional nature of Linnane’s replies above, and frankly I’m shocked that Frum gives him a forum on this site if unclear blog posts and crass and unprofessional replies are the best he can muster up.

WOW it sure didn’t take long for someone to throw the Racist epithet out there, did it?

OK, let’s talk about racism -

Racist? How can I be racist when I’m in a bi-racial marriage?

I’m not racist – I don’t care what color he is. Come to think of it, I don’t like his white half either.

Just looked at your blog Linnane. You obviously post RACIST BS there as well. Plus you attract more of your sort to that blog. Do you get together on weekends in your white bed sheets and pointy hats.
