Faux News' October Surprise? Reporting Al-Jazeera has new Bin Laden tape

[npincus]

with "an address to the American People". Sheperd Smith said he is waiting for the Al-Jazeera broadcast.

Just checked Drudge- he has a blurb on this. Lord, I hope this doesn't muck up the works for us- what could Bin Laden have to say about this election?

1. Jeez I would have thought the message from the fat white guy ...

... would have been enough to scare the sheeple. I guess the Bushites didn't think Rove in a scarf with an AK-47 was believable so they had to give a call to Bin Laden.

[high density]

2. "Please re-elect George Bush!"

"He's a great recruitment tool!"

[Goldmund]

7. Except he knows that would hurt Bush

So to achieve the desired result, he'll say the opposite.

3. Bin Laden reminding the people bush STILL can't find him

neener neener neener

4. You know, this could be bad. OBL's M.O. is

1) release a tape
2) terror attack follows shortly thereafter.

I'm just sayin'. I don't like this, not one bit. If we had a real president, maybe he would be in custody now.

5. Vote early,

vote often? Maybe that's OBL's message to us all??????

[durablend]

10. Even worse...

He (OBL) doesn't even have to be the one behind the "attack". The release of the tape with a "suspcious incident" (that'll be widely reported) soon afterward would be enough to rile up the fraidies.

I don't like the timing of this either--not one bit.

[troublemaker]

6. Just an unwelcome reminder for Bush that OBL's still around.

8. Wait a darn second

what about that weird American guy tape yesterday? I went out and bought duct tape because of HIM and now there is the REAL guy in a tape?

Damn I don't know WHO to be afraid of!

I know, I think I'll be afraid of the guy who never caught OBL to begin with! BUSH!

[Borgnine]

9. Hahaha.

All I can do is laugh. I wonder which version of "Osama" they'll have this time? The slender, sickly man in the cave, or the chubby, darker-skinned fellow from the 9/11 confession video?

11. funny how faux always gets the "exclusive" first

[LondonReign2]

12. Attempt to knock 386 tons of explosives off the news
