Time to Taunt Al Qaeda
Human Events ^ | 9/13/2007 | Brett Winterble

Politically and in wartime, taunts have served an important purpose, to rally the troops and to pull just a few more drops of gas out of a nearly national gas tank. Remember John Paul Jones’ famous retort to the British “I have not yet begun to fight.” Remember Division Commander General Tony McAuliffe’s response to a German surrender demand at Bastogne, “Aw Nuts”, Douglas MacArthur’s “I Shall Return” and President Bush, standing on the rubble of the World Trade Center saying, “I hear you. And the people who did this will hear from us.”

My favorite WOT taunt. It scares the Allah out of them.

But that is EXACTLY what we need. Unfortunately the Olbermann Liberation Front would be offended...when we mocked the Nazis we weren’t mocking the germans as a people...when we mocked Tojo we weren’t mocking the Japanese as a people.

Yakov Smirnov did more to taunt the Soviets than almost anyone. In fact Natan Sharansky, often tells a joke about being in the gulags..he kept laughing at his jailers...it made them nuts...he said because he was “free inside” he could laugh...and that the jailers were the prisoners...because they couldn’t freely lampoon the system..

We need to taunt and mock radical islam, it removes their power...

Yes, I’m all for taunting. It demoralizes the enemy. Not PC though.

Obama’s taunt: “Don’t do it again, please. We’ll give you whatever you want.”

Hillary’s taunt: “Osama bin Laden ran a chain of gas stations...”

Howard Dean’s taunt: “Yeeeeeeeouuuu!”

Harry Reid’s taunt: “You al Qaeda types are almost as bad as George W. Bush.”

Our media is too frickin' cowardly to do this - heck, they even pulled the radical leftist Opus cartoon that made fun of radical Islam.

I am for it, but we need to be sure that we can follow up with action. Bush said “Bring it on” to al Qaeda coming into Iraq, they did, and it is taking us three more years to kick their butts. Until we start dropping bombs in Wazirstan, we don’t need to talk big.

Ah, but if it were PC, it wouldn’t be effective, would it? Its effectiveness is based on its humor, which is antitheticalto PC.

I would taunt them, but apparently it’s a 15 yard penalty if I do.

How’s this for a taunt based on the recent video?

“Hey Binnie...nice merkin, buttwipe. Did you trim that off your goat-wife’s chest-hair?”
