But the bulk of us are just disgusted that the US is losing the war on terror because of Bush’s incompetence.

Quick: What color is the sky?

Take, Abu Ghraib for example. The democratic criticism has taken two forms. One it is not what Americans do. We all grew up being taught that only Japs, Nazis, Communist, and third world dictators did this type of thing. Many of us still believe that. Why do you no longer believe in the American way? Second, it is counterproductive because it provides the enemy propaganda and so does more harm then good.

OK, now that the democratic criticism that torture is counterproductive proved right you simply dismiss it as a talking point. How about trying to demonstrate that the criticism was wrong. Can you do that? Failure to answer this question will be taken as evidence that you agree.

Yes, some democrats spout left wing rubbish just like bithead spouts right wing rubbish. But the bulk of us are just disgusted that the US is losing the war on terror because of Bush's incompetence. When are intelligent republicans like you going to finally realize what has been obvious to many of us for a long time.

Written like a true member of the 37%.

Bains,
When Al Qaeda was talking about Clinton’s infidelity, where they getting their talking points from the GOP?

Michael, I had added a paragraph acknowledging that in the 90's, al Qaeda was probably getting their talking points from the rabid wing of the GOP. Alas, my DSL seized and the reload lost that part. But that only emphasizes my point which is not to draw comparisons (snarks aside)between various Americans and al Qaeda, rather to point out that the more vitriolic ones hyperbole, the more likely our enemies will use it against us.

Which democrats fantasize about Bush’s assassination? Which ones have applauded Chavez’s UN speech? Names names.

I know of no nationally prominent elected Dem who either fantasizes or applauds either, hence that part being within a snark tag. There are plenty of Dem supporters however that do. Proof of this is the popularity in certain quarters of that recently released Canadian film (assassination fantasy) and far left websites and blogs (DU,).

And if you asked Zawahiri to add 2 + 2, he would doubtless say “4″ — just like the Democrats!

(The Republicans would have to check with OVP first.)

You haven't gotten the talking points yet. "2+2" makes use of arabic numerals. It's actually "II + II." We don't want to embolden al-Qaeda's historians of mathematics.

When Al Qaeda was talking about Clinton’s infidelity,

And when, precisely, were they doing that?

You're motivations here are clear; you want to duck the obvious.

If you can't even read the article you're responding to, much less keep up with direct liks that have been clear to anyone with a pulse for the last 6 years, don't waste my time.

Ok, so the Democrats say the sky is blue, and Al Qaeda says the sky is blue, so obviously Democrats are terrorists and in league with Al Qaeda.

Let’s rephrase a bit...

So the Dems stick their head out the door and proclaim that it will rain. The Repub sticks his head out the window and sees partly cloudy skies. Al Qaeda, a continent away, guarantees that it will rain today, tomorrow and the day after.

It’s not hard to guess where al Qaeda is getting their talking points from. I'd say it’s an obvious cause and effect, but evidently far too many lefties are a bit sensitive about this causal relationship, and hence, feel compelled to attack the observer rather than their own message.

No Michael, just because al Qaeda/various terrorists says the same things Dems say does not mean that they are of the same league [snark] Dems dont want to cut Bush's head off, they just fantasize about his assination, or applaud petty tyrants bismirching he and his country on the world stage [/snark], it just means you're feeding them their lines.

To spell it out for the reality impaired, if you don’t want to be tarred, don’t have a bucket of tar in your own hands.

What policies do Democrats share with Chavez and Al Qaeda that you think they need to denounce in order to be considered patriotic americans?

I'm serious, please name me the specific policies that tie Democrats to Chavez and OBL.

The only way this post would make any sense is if the ONLY people saying these things were the Democrats and Al Qaeda. As it is, the ONLY people NOT saying this same thing are die-hard Bush supporters. To the rest the world, the sky is blue.

If everyone else in the world is seeing something different than you, it doesn't mean they're all conspiring against you, it just means you're wrong. Deal with it.
