Neal is as confused as some people on this forum are. Neal thinks leftists who see this will suddenly swerve into conservative territory on matters of national defense. Of couse that's preposterous. The left will mearly blame Bush policy for the outcome, case closed.
I have objected to the full video being shown. It's shock value is worthless in the real world, a world where standing up to terrorists is deemed 'causing the problem', not dealing with it head on.
The showing of the video footage thus becomes nothing more than a snuff film . I don't watch snuff films. I don't need to see the act to know that cutting off someone's head is wrong. I don't need to have this fact reinforced. I doubt many people do. Obviously others disagree. They think seeing the act will act as a magic potient, innoculating the left from being shills for Hussein/Laden/terrorist.
Dream on.
Its not leftist that are the target audience.
Its republicans and conservatives that should know better.
NON leftists who just want to take the easy thought process and have become complaisant.
A complaisant attitude is as big a danger as terrorists.
9-11 was proof of that.
Ah, but do many people understand it's wrong? Most don't bother with the news and the others don't realize these are real people - Oh, it's just some guy who's over there where he didn't belong in the first place and besides it's all Bush's fault that all our troops are being killed. They're immune to it and only feign outrage because someone at the water cooler was outraged. Most don't remember the WTC was bombed before, nor do they remember any of the other attacks against us. If the truth be known, they've all but forgotten the horror of 9/11 and have been indoctrinated to believe Bush knew about it and let it happen. Jo and Joanna American have very short memories and should be reminded again, and again, and again and be shown the truth.
In your opinion, Neal is wrong. Well, in my opinion, you are wrong. Even if the showing does not change one single Liberal Democrat, it may get those of our ilk off their dead butts and get them working for our President, get them out to VOTE. Anger just may do the trick, and I ,for one, am angry. IMHO
Show every second of everything they've done. Show it all so that people will know that their fate is reflected in what has occured. Show it all so that people will be sickened and show it because it reflects the true nature of the enemy beasts.
Show it because it is the truth. That's why we're here, isn't it? To expose the truth?
It took pictures and film of the atrocities of the Nazis to convince many people that the holocaust actually happened.
Sad to say, too many people in America (indeed, the world) would be inclined to side with the terrorists were it not for films of their atrocities. Note: How many people in the U.S.
refuse to believe the progress that is being accomplished in Iraq....BECAUSE THE PRESS REFUSES TO SHOW THEM!
Maybe you don't need to see the beheadings. Sadly, too many people do. Otherwise, they don't believe.
huh?
the Congress and the media were told about Abu Gharib in January.. not until the pictures came out was it a news story.
My ole pappy used to say "a picture is worth a thousand words"
