NEW YORK While much of the liberal blogosphere, and political figures such as Sen. John Kerry, remain inflamed over comments by MSNBC's Chris Matthews on "Hardball" on Thursday--in which he suggested that Osama bin Laden, in his latest video tape, sounded an awful lot like fillmmaker Michael Moore--The New York Times has also now been linked to Osama by another cable news pundit.
On Friday night, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough weighed in on the subject, going beyond Moore to claim that bin Laden was also borrowing language or ideas from the likes of Howard Dean and Sen. Ted Kennedy. His guest, Tucker Carlson, who has his own MSNBC show, then spread the net further, to include opinion columnists at The New York Times.
The exchange from the transcript follows. *
SCARBOROUGH: Now, of course, Tucker, I'm not comparing these Democrats to Osama bin Laden, but look.
First thing, Osama talks about how our troops are terrorizing women and children in Iraq. John Kerry said the same thing in front of Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation."
Osama's saying that George Bush knows he can't win this war, something that Howard Dean said, and, also, that this was launched for political reasons, which of course Ted Kennedy said last year, that this was all dreamed up in Texas for political benefit.
CARLSON: By the merchants of war who financed Bush's presidential campaign, in the words of Osama bin Laden and many on the left. In other words, Halliburton is responsible for this war, every single talking point.
I hate to think of Osama bin Laden reclining in his cave in Waziristan, reading the op-ed page of "The New York Times." But, clearly, he is. He's got every talking point. It's uncanny.

Meanwhile, appearing on the Fox News show "Hannity & Colmes," former Rep. Newt Gingrich said, "I think it's quite clear as you point out, Sean [Hannity], that from this tape, that bin Laden and his lieutenants are monitoring the American news media, they're monitoring public opinion polling, and I suspect they take a great deal of comfort when they see people attacking United States policies."
Sen. Kerry, posting at the popular blog DailyKos, responded to the latest commentary: "Here's a subject suited for true hard ball, on Hardball: four years of failure-- enough is enough-- why hasn't Osama Bin Laden been captured or killed, and how will he be destroyed before he next appears on tape to spread his disgusting message? That discussion -- rather than criticizing American citizens who exercise their right to free speech and express dissenting opinions -- is the discussion that America needs. That would be the kind of debate on Hardball to which we should all tune in."

With the last two hate filled and critical of the Administration speeches the media has let us see and hear, hillary clinton has given OBL his talking points, she must be held responsible, because she has the media's ear and eye more than any Democrat and her hate for President Bush is fueling the flame!!!
The X IMPEACHED PRESIDENT bill clinton has also been aiding and abetting the enemy and he must be held responsible. This other clinton has been off shore criticizing our going to war.
The Democrats Senators and Representives have been in the news and on the floor spewing their hate - aiding and abetting the enemy!! And they know what they are doing. They all know they are killing our men and women but will do anything to bring down President Bush's rating. Real lives for ratings!!!!!!
It won't be long before Freepers put the Democrat words up next to the text of the just released video from Bin Laden!!!!! For the world to see!
Do you think that Chris forgot to take his meds on the evening in question?
I will have to review the video for signs of his usual frothing, spitting, and stuttering to see if he was his usual self.
OB Laden, the Dimocr-ps,the main stream media, all are under the control the "feminist" movement as to propaganda in the USofA. There are huge numbers of American women that hate the male life style and would destroy the nation to destroy this life style. This male female rivilry is ancient in oringin, but never as virulent as today. The American female (not all) would accept OB Laden over Rush Limbaugh.
Are you correcting me? If you are, I could not care less how it is spelled.
It's so simple, Americans, now you know that the entire Democrat Party is guilty of both treason and being traitors to the USA!!! The current Demcrat Party needs to be destroyed at the ballot box in 2006. If it is not destroyed there will be many American mothers and fathers mourning their babies and children after the terrorists have a field day slaughtering them. First the Jews, the Gays and the Blacks will get the ax, then the children, and finally the remaining women will be raped, tortured, shot in the head. The men will foced to watch. Then they will be quickly dispatched to the hereafter. Vote Democrat and seal your doom and the doom of your families!!! America, you better wise up, reall quick!!!
that osama says the same things as his erstwhile allies the dem/stealth-commies should surprise no one
how will he be destroyed before he next appears on tape to spread his disgusting message?
Since Osama is hitting the libs talking points it appears Kerry just said his own message is disgusting.
The MSM debate will move further toward whether the anti-Bush, pro-terrorist actions proposed by the Democratic Party in their talking points, and now adopted nearly word-for-word by bin Laden, are the correct way for this country to proceed. The left leaning MSM will now be testing the waters and determining the type of articles they need to publish in order to archieve high anti-Bush numbers in the coming polls that ask Americans to choose between Bush and the "bin Laden/Democratic Party Coalition" (a coalition in need of an abbreviation). Watch for it in the MSM near you!
Tucker is in N.O. this week crying the blues over the chocolate city that will never be.
He just kills me when he has that "pained" expression on his face. Looks like he's about 4 yrs. old and just found out that there's no Santa.
That he got ONE thing right doesn't impress me.
LOL! One of the funniest graphics I've seen!
I also like the NY Times "Christmas" issue.
LOL. I mean we even elected his cousin . . . Obama bin Lying.
We've been saying this for years... we deserve a pay check.
Kerry - "four years of failure-- enough is enough-- why hasn't Osama Bin Laden been captured or killed".
Since when do the years of failure to catch bin Laden add up to four. It seems to me that the president had a stack of offers to hand over bin Laden, practically giftwrapped, way back in the 1990's. Bush, or whoever it was back then, must be a complete bozo to have turned down those opportunities.
Thank you Captain Obvious. Uncanny? I think you have that bowtie on too tight. Try and keep up ya little nerd and get with the program.
bump to top
"That was Clintoon."
Is that the same guy as Xlin Ton, the first president elected with Red Chinese bankrolling?
bump again
That pic is priceless... ;o)
