this finally explains how extreme terrorist supporters keep getting invited to the White House. What I would like explained is why people on this thread are so frigging gullible. Here comes Frank Gaffney to tell us that the White House is incompetent, that they don't do background checks on people who want to have private audiences with the President, and that Grover Norquist just grabs terrorists off the street and waltzes them right into the Oval Office unobstructed. And people believe this crap?? Where is common sense? Where is critical thinking? This is the White House we're talking about here. Secret Service? CIA? NSA? Do these names ring a bell? You think they didn't know who these people were? That's nuts. Sho' nuf, all these outfits that gave money to Norquist's Institute were raided by the FBI. So tell us, Frank, was that before or after they were fingered by someone -- who could it have been? -- as possible terrorist funding sources? Did the FBI even know they were there before they, um, err, donated money to, umm, er, you know, Grover Norquist? Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. Nope, no sale. Shady Muslims approached Norquist's Institute. Shady Muslims got arrested. In what order was that happening, Mr. Gaffney? You're quick to tell people that so-and-so who knew Grover Norquist was raided and arrested, but what you don't tell people is that that was at a time when the FBI was floundering around trying to guess who the bad guys even were. Was Norquist being duped, or was Norquist smoking them out? Nobody from the Secret Service or the FBI is ever gonna say boo about that, and you know it. Which makes what you are doing just sh*tty. I can't believe how quick people around here are to believe what is (a) an obvious hatchet-job using every sleazy trick of propaganda in the book, and (b) requires for acceptance the belief that the White House lets just anybody in to see the President... even after 9/11. We used to be better than this. We used to be able to read things with some critical eye. Now we got people here who swallow crap by the bucket and call it wine. Think, people! What do you know about the Bush Administration? What singular characteristics mark the Bush Administration? How helpful to terrorists has the Bush Administration been? How competent is the Bush Administration? Does anything you know about the way this White House operates, or what it stands for, support one word of what Frank Gaffney is selling? Things were done here. We may never know why. For sure Frank Gaffney does not know why. |
