Do You Think The Republicans Will Ever Admit They Are Hypocrites?

Louis Posada Cariles shot down a passenger jet airliner off the coast of Cuba while acting as a CIA operative at the time. At the United Nations trial, it was PROVEN without any shadow of a doubt that he is the one who did it.
This was an act of terrorism that slaughtered 73 innocent human beings (all civilians).
In the 1980s, he was implicated in the operations supporting and supplying the Nicaraguan Contras - a known terrorist organization at the time.
In 1997, Posada was again implicated in a series of terrorist bombings in Cuba intended to deter the growing tourism trade on the island. An Italian-Canadian, Fabio di Celmo, was killed and 11 people wounded as a result.
And yet, during their entire 7 years of their so called “war on terror”, the Republicans have known his whereabouts and even had him in custody in Texas and Florida for immigration related charges. Still, the Republicans have refused repeated requests for extradition to either Cuba or to the United Nations. Eventually, the U.N. had to try him in absentia, and found him guilty of terrorism. Even now, the Republicans refuse to hand him over to any member of the international community for punishment of his crimes.
So for the past 8 years, the Republicans have been harboring a known international terrorist all the while conducting a “war” on terrorism.
Hypocrisy? What’s their spin on this?

They don't have spin on this just "Shut up cause I'm a real Murkin and you're not"

Republicans.. "Palin around with terrorists"

2. Is there a 12 step program for Republiholics?
I think they need to get to Step 8 before any apologies happen.

3. Nope its why they call themselves the "right wing", it means they are never wrong no matter
how wrong they are and thus their hypocrisy goes unnoticed.

7. I honestly don't think they have the mental capacity to recognize their hypocrisy. The few who do
would never in a million years admit to it. After all, they are the chosen ones. They don't have to follow the rules meant for the rest of us.

8. That's why they refer to us as 'elitist'
not because we are incredibly wealthy but because we can think and form ideas. Their crowd has to be told what to think and do not know how to come to conclusions without an answer sheet. They are the sheeple. They hate us for our intellects.

11. In what respect, Charlie?
Whatever falls out of a Republican's mouth reflects his deepest, sincerest, most closely held opinion at that precise moment. Well, that moment's over, now it's time for another deepest, sincerest, most closely held opinion. Opinion 1 may be in direct conflict with Opinion 2, but that's your problem, isn't it? That's what you get for remembering stuff.

And now, the Good Lord has blessed us with another new moment, so Republicans are safe in remembering that Obama wasn't born in the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. And it's yet another moment, so their deepest outrage and scorn is heaped on the Cash for Clunkers program and its epic failure in being taken advantage of so readily.
