Bin Laden Mimics MoveOn.org?

If remarks attributed to Osama bin Laden yesterday sounded familiar, there may be a reason.

At least one political wag has noticed that certain rhetorical flourishes in the terrorist's tirade bore an eerie resemblance to the political attacks launched by the Democratic propagandameisters at MoveOn.org.

Notes OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto, the latest bin Laden outburst "shows a command of Democratic talking points - Halliburton is evil; the president is a 'liar' who commands a 'gang'," etc.

The only thing bin Laden seems to have missed is Ted Kennedy's blast that Iraq has become George Bush's Vietnam.

Then again, perhaps he simply didn't want to recycle the Kennedy barb so soon, since terrorist cleric Muqtada al Sadr used it just last week.

It's pretty sad when you can't tell if a sound bite is from Osama bin Laden or John Kerry.

Only the accent is different.

The question is, is OBL working for MoveOn.org, or is MoveOn.org working for OBL?

That's what OBL gets for using the DNC talking-points fax verbatim. Next time, maybe he should have Al Franken punch up the lines for him. Al's looking for something to do now, anyway...

And Usama bin Laden's remarks were echoed by John Kerry today.
There seems to be an organisational nexus between left-wing 527s, the John Kerry campaign, and Al Qaeda.

It's the old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing.

Why should we be surprised at OBL using Demspeak? al-Satr used Ted Kennedy's "VietNam" reference.

I posted in another thread regarding why the Dems and terrorists seem so in tune with each other: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The enemy is GWBush and the Republicans/Conservatives.

Wouldn't surprise me if he was a contributor. Doesn't MoveOn.org solicit foreign donations, and even has a person in charge of getting foreign donations?

If only we could get Nam Kerry and Big Hill in office, the terrorists would go back to normal lives and stop threatening and killing.

Probably Clinton has been e-mailing OBL to find out more about how to get 72 virgins.

I though I recognized a little Kennedy influence, with a touch of Chomsky thrown in for go measure.
