Can you BELIEVE Rolley Keith?

[HEyHEY]

I mean, let's disregard that he's running for office (Or WAS) what kind of fuckwit says something like Milosevic "Meant Well."

OY!

[Spazito]

1. It did surprise me as it would be what I would have expected

from a faux Con as opposed to an NDP candidate.

2. OY indeed...

Rolley, :wtf: could you have been thinking? Welcome to the Foot-in-Mouth Club!
:silly: :dunce:

3. strange bedfellows

Look around, and you'll find quite a lot of people saying the same nicey kind of things about Milosevic right here at DU.

I've never held much with that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" stuff, which seems to be what's behind a lot of this weirdness. I may oppose things that the US-led west does and/or the reasons why it does 'em, and I may think that some of the things the US and its puppets and proxies get up to are appalling -- but that doesn't mean I have to get into bed with a Milosevic or Saddam Hussein or approve a single thing they do. Door number three, please.

The whole Serb/Croat/etc. thing is obviously enormously complicated, and there is undoubtedly enough condemnation to go around without running short. I've never understood why anyone feels that condemning Milosevic's adversaries, many of whom (including the US, and the USAmerican media) richly deserve condemnation, and even denouncing the forked-tongue hypocrisy manifested by some of them, calls for condemning the condemnation of Milosevic itself. But that does seem to what be the motivation behind what the support expressed for Milosevic, on the self-described left, generally amounts to.
