Global Terror
Hopelessly Partisan ^ | 6/29/07 | Ken Berwitz

Posted on 06/29/2007 7:10:55 PM PDT by Grounded In Reality

GLOBAL TERROR? WHAT GLOBAL TERROR? OH, THAT GLOBAL TERROR.

Ken Berwitz

I just put on Hardball for a minute or two (thus doubling its viewership, assuming chris mouthews' mother wasn't cooking dinner at the time) and watched a Democrat and Republican trying to outposture each other on the war on terror.

This in and of itself wouldn't be surprising or edifying in anyway., But the Democrat said something that stopped me in my tracks. She said "this is a global problem and we need global partners".

Hello, anyone home? Aren't major Democratic presidential candidates, most notably the human oil slick, John Edwards, telling us that the global war on terror is a "bumper sticker slogan" (actual quote)?

In other words, what this Democratic operative is saying flies in the face of what important candidates in her own party are saying. But she says it anyway, without one word of explanation.

Do these people have any shame? Do they have any respect at all for the average voter? How can they simultaneously use this as a major issue and disdain it as a bumper sticker slogan? Do they think no one will notice?

Well, chris mouthews didn't call her on it, that's for sure. But mouthews is a partisan hack, so that's understandable. YOU, on the other hand, may not be willing to swallow this BS the way a chris mouthews would.

What do you do when they BS you like this right to your face, and in effect tell you they think you're an idiot and an ignoramus?

I guess we'll find out in November 2008.

I guess we already found this out during the amnesty debate.

Chrissy IS a Democrat, that’s why.

They always downplay global terrorism - it interferes with too many leftist delusions they have, so they dismiss it as just another crime.

I wanted to add that 07/07/07 is coming up soon, and that’s a numerical prophetic symbol in Islam, so be careful.

I saw Rudy yacking away on TV about the bomb thing in the UK. As if Rudy is some terror expert. He's not. Nor is he responsible for anything heroic when it came to 9/11. The heros were the guys that went in to the buildings. Not Rudy.

If Rudy Giuliani had gone out after 9/11 and made all those millions for the families of the dead instead of putting the money in his pockets I'd be with him. But he didn't.

I sense more and more RAT talking heads in the media are becoming nonthinking robots.........and more and more regular democratic voters, you know what I mean, the average Joe in the streets are becoming more and more aware of just how stupid these clowns can be. Notice how the number of 70% (or higher) when taking in polls in regards to border security WANT tighter border security, it's never broken down by the MSM as whether RAT or Conservative....there is a significant number of average democratic voters who want just what the average FReeper wants when it comes to border security.....but the liberal taking head almost always never mentions that...., I have a strong feeling the senate switchboard meltdown yesterday was not result of just Conservatives calling in.....although the liberal leaders wish it to be.

“Do these people have any shame?”

Remember who is their hero? A man who had relations with a woman near the age of his daughter who was employed as an intern IN THE OVAL OFFICE during business hours. Eleven times.

What happened to the guy? He goes on to make $40 million giving speeches and sets up his wife to take over the country.

Having no shame is a mark of honor for Democrats.

John Edwards, telling us that the global war on terror is a "bumper sticker slogan"

Seen most recently on two Mercedes parked in the Haymarket and Piccadilly area of London stan.

I agree, someone forced 17 Democrat Senators to vote NO on cloture.

You are referring to the corruption of the Clintons? Well, understand that it is very common (almost without exception) for wannabe tyrants to be corrupt.

They have no morals and only seek power and wealth via oppression of others.

Can you say, Chairman Clinton? (Mao suit and all)

Perfect answer.

It should be a bumper sticker.

“6” is a number of perfection in Islam(and Christianity), “7” is a number of completion.

It’s just that the date’s so rare, I would be very careful on that day - I know there’s the Rushdie controversy:

7/7/2005, 2+5 = 7, this could be just a coincidence

The muslims use a different calendar than we do based on a lunar month. I think that their year is something like 1428 right now. I don't think that our holidays and the numerical anomalies of our calendars are of interest to them with regards to planning attacks.

Ya, I understand your point, 7/7 and 9/11 were probably just coincidences and this is looking back trying to figure out some kind of irrelevent pattern.

Still, I’d be careful on 7/4 and 7/7 coming up, but I don’t think they wait for a certain date to blow something up.

Always vigilant, never panicked.
