June 11th will be a big day for snowflake lefty democrats. Bill DeBlasio will march in the annual Puerto Rican day parade that will honor Oscar Lopez Rivera, a leader of the Puerto Rican terrorist organization known as the Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN).

Lopez Rivera was sentenced to 35 years in prison for his involvement in the FALN, a group that is responsible for more than 100 bombings in New York, Chicago, Washington and Puerto Rico during the 1970s and 1980s.

Four people were killed in 1975 when an explosion occurred at the historic Fraunces Tavern in New York City, an attack the FALN was responsible for. The organization was also responsible for seriously injuring three NYPD officers in a series of bomb attacks on New Year’s Eve in 1982.  

Although Lopez Rivera was never convicted of any of the bombings, a former FALN member testified against him saying he taught members how to make bombs. He was convicted again while serving his sentence after he was caught planning an escape from the prison using explosives and a helicopter.

And here is the best part. Former RacistPresident/Tribal Leader Obuma commuted his sentence immediately before leaving the White House back in January.

Gotta love the guy........commutes the sentence of a traitor and then a terrorist.  

What a legacy he leaves. The snoflakes should be sooooo proud of this clown.

I think he's really a plant by Andrew Cuomo to make Cuomo look like a responsible, centrist, pragmatic Democrat. Which he is, but he could not have a better foil than DiBlasio.  Is there an Italian word for putz?

Idiota  

The worst part is Cuomo is still making up his mind if HE is going to march.  

Maybe if they are lucky they can ask the butt hurt moron Schumer if he'd like to go also. They could play dress up and go as the 3 stooges.

Andrew Cuomo is not his dad.  He is a ruthless, power-hungry, competent politician. If Trump continues to be a catastrophe President, Cuomo can beat him in 2020.

Supplying arms to Saudi Arabia from where the majority of Sep 11 terrorists originated is as irresponsible as anything.

for reasons people like you will never understand.  Sure he took a violent approach but it was for a righteous cause as far as many Puerto Ricans are concerned - To become an independent country and not the milkman's daughter of the United States.  It's a PR thing and there's absolutely no chance of a fat white dude scared of his own extinction understanding La Raza del gente.

As far as being a terrorist organization FALN was terrible at it by todays standards.  They are credited with 120 bombings and only 5 people died.  They mostly went after infrastructure and not human targets.  Also consider that Lopez Rivera was only convicted of sedition and transport of explosives.  He always maintained that he was apolitical prisoner under international law that he was immune from US prosecution as an anti-colonial combatant.  Many in congress on both sides of the aisle opposed his imprisonment.  He served 35 years, more than any other FALN member.

Viva la rasa you pinche cabron racist pindejo.

Are you fucking nuts?  

How about we take a deeper look at the man and group you think are "patriots":

"The FALN was responsible for over 130 bombings during this period, including the January 1975 explosion in Manhattan’s historic Fraunces Tavern, which killed four and wounded 63. In October of that year, it set off, all within the span of an hour, 10 bombs in three cities, causing nearly a million dollars in damage.  

In August 1977, the FALN set off a series of bombs in Manhattan, forcing 100,000 workers to evacuate their offices; one person was killed, and six were injured. In 1979, the group even threatened to blow up the Indian Point nuclear energy facility located north of New York City. It later sent a communiqué warning the U.S. to “remember … that you have never experienced war on your vitals and that you have many nuclear reactors.”  

In 1980, FALN members stormed the Carter-Mondale election headquarters in Chicago, and the George H.W. Bush campaign headquarters in New York, holding employees there hostage at gunpoint. In 1981, they plotted to kidnap President Reagan’s son Ron."

Sounds like they are U.S. based cousins of ISIS to me. But to you...they were just being "patriotic." WOW.

So it is OK with you that 5 totally innocent people were murdered?

5 people who did nothing to no one ...who were enjoying  themselves in a tavern whose lives are snuffed out and you are OK with that.

Well yeah you are one vile disgusting  piece of shit.  

actually you are not a piece of shit ...you are the entire fucking turd

You're Welcome  
In Terrorist Sympathizer We Distrust

Libtards just love them some terrorists.

So just because Bill DeBlasio goes on some parade you assume all Dem supports terrorist..which they don't. But your narrow mind leads you to believe that so be it.  
So two can play at this game.

i would just lynch the mother fucker...

As I said, FALN took a violent path.  But they are still considered patriots by many of your fellow Puerto Rican citizens.  Just like a lot of people hold that Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee were patriots.  Is it hard to walk with those sticks up your asses?

You continue to justify and even admire a man and an ideology that is hateful as it terrorized people that FALN did not have a beef with. They had a choice. Act civilly and make changes on the political front through the electoral process if they felt so aggrieved or resort to violence. They chose the same route that evil takes. Your continued support of this "man" is despicable and without logic. Please stop. It makes you look like a fool and a terrorist sympathizer. Good day.

You do realize that it is illegal for Puerto Rican's to vote for their own Indelendence.   That's what Lopez Rivera was convicted of - sedition.  He was not convicted of murder, mayhem or anything "evil" as you put it.

Your comparison to Manchester is completely misguided. There's a huge difference between a freedom fighter and a religious fanatic fighting for nothing more than his own insanity.

As I keep saying, it's something that the right wing nut jobs here just want to piss and bitch about without even knowing what it was all about.

Buffet is a Trump hater and the king of PC so how you pegged him as a "right wing nut job" is incredible.  

And I cant believe I even have to say this but Hale, Henry and Jefferson did NOT attack, kill and maim innocents to further their cause, a fundamental difference your hateful and moral equivocating mind cant seem to grasp.

Sponsors of the parade have now bailed in huge numbers. Even the NY Daily News, a lefty publication, has removed their sponsorship after reviewing the facts. Are they "right wing nut jobs" too?

Why don't you educate yourself on this topic and stop looking like a total ass or keep digging and provide us all more entertainment?

We all await your next pro-terrorist comments with baited breath.

Do you even know what you are talking about?  Hale, Henry and Jefferson didn't attack, maim or kill innocents?  That's debatable, but you do realize that neither did Lopez Rivera.  The only right wing nut jobs I was referring to are the ones posting in this thread.  

I don't give a shit about establishment lackeys running from this issue.   Lopez Rivera in a lot of people's eyes was as much a patriot as Washington, Jefferson and yes, Robert E Lee are to others.  

What is so hard for you morons to grasp that fact?

Dumby and Dombel?

The Daily News retraction of their endorsement of the event alone should give any progressive pause.  

Now does that mean we should assume that you are going to call out your lefty brethren every time (or even every once in a while) they call all righties racists over the words or actions of a few?

If so, kudos. I am sure you will have your opportunity before the day is over as it doesn't seem like a single day goes by without a comment about "racist righties" coming from someone on your side of the aisle. You don't have to call them out every time they do it, as that would be a full time job, but even once would be a nice gesture.  

BTW, if even Jake can call out a lefty every once in a while, like he did earlier today, I am sure an "open and fair minded" person like yourself can do it too.

EVERYONE thought Saddam had WMD - even Hillary.

Fool.

Whatever you choose to call them.  

It's is cute though when they spin themselves up to pretend to care about National Security!

You have a minor point with Patrick Henry but that’s where the credibility ends.

If you were to only focus on the Sons of Liberty your case would be stronger. They did commit acts of violence but I don’t know of anyone they murdered or maimed, although some of them were killed. Samuel Adams topped their roles and Henry was a member but I do not think Nathan Hale was as he was only 10 years old when they formed in 1765. Jefferson was not.

The other part missing from sympathy to FALN is I do not think the government of Puerto Rico ever officially endorsed FALN, unlike the American Colonies that in effect declared war in 1776.  

Your statement regarding lack of choice for independence is false. Face it, FALN resorted to extreme violence because they had been rejected by the voters of PR (see link). Oh yea, that and they were all a bunch of Communists. Your Marxism-Leninism is showing a tad.

You're so holier-than-thou about the FALN, yet you've never uttered one word about the terrorism that led to the founding of Israel.  Stop displaying your ignorance for everyone to see and crack open a history book.  Look up  "Haganah" and "Irgun."

You questioned whether "murdering/maiming innocents is 'patriotic?'"  Look up the bombing of the King David Hotel and the Deir Yassin massacre.

"By any means necessary" - pussies like you are horrified when Malcolm X said that, but Jews said it long before him.  They believed that any action taken in the pursuit of the creation of a Jewish state was justified...INCLUDING TERRORISM!

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.  

The government of PR never endorsed support for FALN. The FALN only became violent after the people of PR rejected their aims of independence. FALN were nothing but a bunch of Communists. It's obvious why in the 1970's, during the heat of the Cold War, the U.S. used any means available including the sedition to combat them.

See my post below addressing your false claims analogizing FALN to the American Revolution.  
http://classic.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=311395&boardID=39

By your standards, ANY one or ANY group that commits violence in the name of independence or a "justified" political cause is to be accepted. Why haven't you expressed support for ISIS and Al Qaeda? I'm thinking  your protests have more to do with your own Marxist politics than any other reason.

Yes, another murdering commie intent on creating another "workers paradise" in the same was as Fidel and Hugo. Some fucking hero.  

To the best of my knowledge he still hasn't renounced violence or shown the slightest contrition for the innocent victims he and his compatriots murdered in cold blood. His victims weren't the enemy any more than the 8 years old girls and the rest of the murdered kids of a few days ago.

I've learned to filter all the BS on here, unlike some, and hence don't need to chime in on very thread...it'd be a waste of my time. I pick and chose battle maybe worth fighting for. I'm not the GD policeman for racial righteousness. Those that need to be addressed will be, those that are useless and redundant I'll just as soon ignore. You'll never going to change "stupid"...So Ignoring a thread every now and then isn't a bad thing.

It wasn't a Republican. Dunce.

And there were plenty of colonial Torreys that weren't for independence either.   I'm not sure your analogy holds water.  As far as the referendums go, they have no more legal effect on Puerto Rican independence than a child asking for a cookie.

How Hillary and Kerry and co begged Georgie to delay the vote so they could jump on board? By your logic they're gullible and stupid?

Russian, French, MI6, Italian, Australian even UN intelligence were just Cheney's dupes too?  

Remind me again what your boy George Tenant claimed? Hint: "slam dunk," was in his claim. Please clarify.  

Go wash some balls will you?

The Medal of Honor is only given to a member of the military who displays "Conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty."
Tennant received the Medal of Freedom, a bullshit award the President can give to anybody he wants.

So that's why President Clinton appointed him?  Go wash some balls will you?

Are you telling us that obama giving the Medal of Freedom to Ellen DeGeneres was bullshit?  Biden got one too, LOL.

do you even have a bullshit medal?  Or do you just carry around that fake Field Marshall's baton?

Obama fucked up ALL of Europe with his pussy policies caused the flooding into Europe of military age animals and the current rash of terrorist attacks and sexual assaults.  He lost ALL intelligence by blowing up ISLAMIC TERRORISTS because he was too stupid to capture them.  You can't give away a plane ticket to Europe these days.

I guess fucking up America wasn't good enough for him.

He was an ambitious empty suit, Obama was.

ANY President would have killed Osama,  it's Barack's only successful foreign policy/defense achievement in 8 years.  To get Bin Laden, he relied on intel gathered from making 3 mass-murderers sniff a little Perrier (oh. torture! LOL).. You know, W's work.

Oh, never mind, Barack got the Nobel Peace Prize before he planted the seeds of terrorism in the western world.

Nope, to answer your question, it was a pussy democrat.

Thanks for not letting me down.

and don't get me started on how Obama and Hillary created ISIS in their shared womb!

ewwwwww! That picture is disgusting

And it wasn't the Tribal Chief either. He sat back and let his advisors tell him that the intel they had was pretty credible and the percentage of success was high.....so Barrack the Tribal King sat back with his hand under the table jerking Hillary off telling her she would be the first female president because of what "HE" was doing.

Well we all see how that worked it's self out.  

Hillary called all of her star friends as well as a few racist stars and threw a big party for coming in second fucking place. Not bad....except it was a race of two.

sent to Volgograd......

You really are becoming frantic with that "Britain didn't endorse it" misdirection attempt. Obviously your version makes no sense. The American Colonies endorsed the American Revolution, in writing on July 4, 1776. Maybe you need to look that one up. Maybe they didn't teach that in the People's Republic of your educational neighborhood.

The PR people were given several chances to voice their opinion regarding statehood AND independence, beginning in 1967. Only 0.6% voted for independence in 1967. That was right before FALN started their criminal rampage, ALL in the name of independence that ALMOST NO ONE IN PR WANTED. Repeatedly they in PR have voted it down. Whether you or anyone else considers the votes "legal" is irrelevant to the larger point. Your story keeps changing, although not surprising.  

Your conflation of FALN with the American revolution is the act of a desperate Marxist, which by the way, you have failed to deny, TWICE.

About Puerto Rico's struggles over the last 150 years to either become sovereign, or a state or anything other than a US territory.   In 2012, that last referendum, the majority voted to end territorial status.  60% wanted statehood and 33% wanted sovereign status, much like Canada is part of the United Kingdom, but still a separate country.  And yes only 6% wanted pure independence, but that is because much of the independence movement rolled into the sovereignty movement.  Incidentally, the popular name for the sovereignty people is "Independista".  

There will be a yet another referendum in about three weeks.  We shall see how they vote then, but it is widely predicted that the vote for statehood will be significantly less and sovereignty greater because of the huge unpopularity of President Dumbass there.  So that will be another embarrassment for Trump.

As you correctly point out this movement towards independence and not statehood really took hold after the populist commonwealth movement that FALN was a part of and which certainly had an affect on PR political thought.

And I certainly don't need to admit or deny anything to you.  Your statement to that effect is simply stupid.

T shirts and get tattoos of his likeness . A total scumbag .

The light on his feet reporter who got body slammed in Montana is just the beginning. Watch

END OF MESSAGE

Weak.

You didn't realize I didn't mean Obama personally killed them all?  You really need to do better than this.

You CAN'T do better than this!

That's all you got?

and you call me weak!  LOL

Apparently, YOU can't do better than this.

Laffy lite

Lite.

The subject was FALN and their crimes. This happened in the 1970s and 80s. At that time only about 1% supported them towards independence.  

Now you've switched to the 2012 and upcoming vote and seem to give these criminals all the credit for changing people's minds, thus justifying their crimes.

I get that you and others consider them folk heroes but that does not change the circumstances that existed during the era they were active.

In 1967 more Puerto Rican's voted for independence in the form of a commonwealth,  (60%). than for statehood.    FALN was a part of that dialogue that has been going on for hundreds of years.  Yes they were violent, but to many they were patriots that drove that dialogue into what it is today.   Why is that so hard for you to understand?  Are you really that much of a scared white dude?   You haven't gotten your facts straight one time yet.

FALN wasn't advocating for commenwealth nor statehood status, only complete independence.  

And it's obvious you didn't read my last post fully as I acknowledged FALN present status by you and many in PR.

I'm now pretty sure you're pissed PR isn't already another Cuba or Venezuela.
