The following excerpts are part of the latest stream of left wing bilge to emerge from Democrats.com, a DNC/Clinton/Gore affiliated organization that promotes the far left base of the DNC without having to worry about elections like the DNC does. The following is merely the LATEST INSTALLMENT of similar putrid bile that has been coming out of that website all week. Earlier installments, which include Democrats.com's attempt to blame Bush for the attacks, their allegation that Bush is working with corporations to force a "for profit" war, and Afghanistan apoligism to an extreme that even makes Iran look like one of our allies, may be found at http://www.FreeRepublic.com/forum/a3ba53f876364.htm
EXCERPTS:
While the White House prepares to embroil us in a war that will dwarf Vietnam, Afghanistani families are fleeing by the thousands from Kabul in terror of Bush's vague threats, and Europeans grow ever more dubious of U.S. saber rattling, where can you find the mainstream media? In Palestine, attempting to get as much inflammatory footage of isolated groups of Muslim extremist protests as they can find.
The Right Wing Crazies Call for a Holy War: No, not THEIR Rightwing Crazies, OUR Rightwing Crazies
In the race to see who can pull the national consciousness furthest to the extreme right, columnist Ann Coulter has stepped up to claim the award. We shouldn't worry about finding out the "exact individuals" who perpetrated this grotesque act of terror, we should simply "invade their countres, kill their leaders and convert them all to Christianity." Go to war against several dozen Muslim countries and kill or enslave a quarter of the world's population, including almost 8 million Americans? Coulter and the other right wing crazies are more dangerous to this country than they are to any of our enemies. To honor Coulter for taking her rhetoric over the edge we have awarded her the domain name rightwingcrazies.com. However, if that does not yet point to her column for you, try going directly to her screed at http://www.uclick.com/client/cap/ac/
Bush's Ominous and Vague Threats Weaken His Cause
As the days pass, Bush is trying less and less to define his plan, his means, or - incredibly - even his targets. He says we are at war, but not against whom. Instead, he lapses into biblical-sounding platitudes like "We will rid the world of evildoers." This is scary, because some of Bush's allies - like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson - regard an "evildoer" as anyone from a murdering terrorist to a gay, an abortion provider, or even a critical journalist. What is the plan? To visit the "full wrath of the U.S" against nations failing to join Bush's "crusade" - a word that explodes like a bomb in the Islamic world. How will it be fought? "In the shadows," taking, possibly, a very long time. We can think of no instance in which any nation on Earth has gone to war with a vaguer plan and vaguer strategy, more poorly-defined enemies, or a Congress and media more willing to tolerate and even embrace such insanity.
Bush's Failure to Condemn Retaliatory Attacks on Arab Americans May be Fueling an Escalating Wave of Hate Crimes
A true leader in a time of crisis would call for calm, wise reflection, and restraint. A true leader would quickly condemn any racist attacks against innocent people in retaliation for what criminals who happened to be of the same ethnic background may have done. But Bush, caught up in his own saber rattling, has failed to do any of these things. Now a wave of hate crimes is intensifying against not just Arab Americans, but anyone even looking, to the bigot's eye, like an Arab. In AZ, an Indian gas station owner who apparently looked too "Arabic" has already been murdered. Bush has failed to point out that hundreds of Arab Americans were killled or lost loved ones in the disasters. Most humiliating for the U.S. is that Bush's FATHER had to be the one to step forward and make a plea against anti-Arab hate attacks. Meanwhile, Bush's silence can only be interpreted as condoning the attacks by would be perpetrators.
Oh, and feel free to share Democrats.com's comments with any of your democrat buddies - show them exactly what their party really stands for. Also let them know that Democrats.com is run by DNC bigwigs like Stan Greenberg (the top democrat pollster in the business) and Greg Simon (Al Gore's chief campaign strategist for his failed presidential bid). I have heard reports in the last few days of liberal democrats seeing that site and being repulsed by the vitriol and tasteless comments. Some even refused to believe it was for real, and that it was a DNC affiliated site!
That must explain why the lead speaker at the national service on Friday was a Muslim.
These people don't have the guts to come out from behind their keyboards and say this stuff on television.
A true leader like Franklin D Roosevelt?
We can but hope. We can also hope that the rules of engagement which prevailed in Vietnam won't prevail here.
Oh, they know it, it just takes time for them to admit it to themselves.
Lyndon Johnson won't be running this one.
they were sent by to Germany We haven't even started yet and Dumbocrats are not planning bombing Missions like LBJ either
Treason means giving aid and comfort to the enemy during a time of war. At the very least, they should be reported to the DOJ for treason.
