Fox news just stated: Osama wants BUSH!

[mzmolly]

Their reasoning was that Bush is a polarizing figure and it keeps up his recruiting numbers.

They stated that "Osamas no dummy" and clearly he is trying to influence the election.

I can't believe they admitted that Osama wants Bush in office?

This isn't going to hurt Kerry folks, it's just one more reminder that BUSH TRADED OSAMA FOR SADDAM!

Edited to add, I think it was Neil Cavuto who said it.

:hi:

[Pig_Latin_Lover]

1. I bet they take back that statement (nt)

[BayStateBoy]

43. If OBL wants Bush, then Bush is the weaker defender of America`

Fox screws itself!

[RinaJ]

2. Faux news said this?

What, did someone there forget to spike the kool-aid? However, THIS is the point that needs to be driven home.

[JuniorPlankton]

3. Fox said that???

I am sure it's true, but you just don't expect to hear any truth from Fox!

:wtf:

[mzmolly]

12. Yes they did. They tried to spin it by saying that ...

because of Bush's "strong war on terror" :eyes: he was fueling the flames of terrorism etc... but it came off as bad for Bush IMHO.

Neil Cavuto is the pundit who said it I believe.

[kostya]

44. Are the freepers' heads imploding yet on this? I can't bear

to go over there. :P

[txindy]

22. Yes, I heard it myself

Nearly fell off the couch! They did phrase it something like, "So, crazy as it seems, bin Laden is for Bush. He's really saying something like, 'Go, Bush, go!' That's what he's saying!"

I nearly choked! I also just couldn't believe the slam about Bush being more interested in reading about a pet goat with a little girl than in protecting Americans! I hate bin Laden, but DAMN!!!!! That was some slam!!

[NightOwwl]

38. I wonder how many people are hearing about the Pet Goat

for the first time. Ironic, to say the least.

[txindy]

That smackdown from OBL about the pet goat was amazing.

I was in a stupor until he said that. I hadn't even known about the tape and had just turned on the TV. There he was. Then I hear the crack about the pet goat keeping Bush too busy to protect the American people. That finally woke me up!

[Socialist Dem]

4. hmmm.....

Watching the rats flee the sinking ship!

Fox wants access to the Kerry administration like they had it with Shrubco.

[AIJ Alom]

5. lol. fox speaks the truth for once ! can't wait until they retract that

statement !

[aden_nak]

6. Whoever on Fox said that had better have their resume ready.

[Walt Starr]

7. First he trades away Sosa (which was a good thing for this Cubs fan)

then he trades away bin Laden (which is a BAD thing for this America fan).

[DuaneBidoux]

8. Too Fuckin' good to be true. Tell me it's true

I don't believe they said it. You're lying (tell me I'm full of shit!).

[mzmolly]

18. Yer full of shit.

;)

They tried to spin it in a positive light stating that it was because Bush has a strong war on terror etc... but they said Bush was a polarizing figure in the mid-east and thus helped Osama with his cause. They used the words Osama want's Bush.

Unbelievable, I'm certain they'll "clarify" soon. ;)

[txindy]

24. They said it! I couldn't believe they said it, but they did! I heard them

"Crazily....So really what bin Laden is saying is, 'Go, Bush, go!'"

[DuaneBidoux]

25. Now just tell me what kind of anti-nausea drugs you use to be able

to sit in front of Fox and not puke your guts out...

[txindy]

29. I was flipping back and forth for the best feed on the tape

I thought I might as well get the worst spin of this out of the way! Didn't turn out that way! Faux News nailed it. Bin Laden was slamming B*sh and endorsing him all at once. Absolutely amazing.

[Bossy Monkey]

9. Wait a dang minute! Red Sox win Series... Fox says something fair &

balanced...
The world ended and nobody told me, didn't it?:D

[meganmonkey]

27. I just saw a pig fly by my window!

;)

[KansDem]

46. And the price of long underwear just went up in Hell...

Something about a shortage due to falling temperatures!

[rkc3]

28. Check your mail, you probably won the Publisher's Clearing House too.

[Ducks In A Row]

10. They want bush because he's a useless git, and it's so much easier

to do what they want.

with kerry, they will lose lots of power

[LoZoccolo]

Do you know who it was?

There's a lineup of their anchors on the Fox News site.

[txindy]

33. I think it was Cavuto. Not certain. Too in shock.

I didn't even know about the tape! I was out for a while. Came back home, turned on the tube, saw bin Laden's face and froze. Then I started surfing quickly. Faux, believe it or not, was giving the most coherent account of it, so I listened. I was so in shock about EVERYTHING that I haven't really processed it, yet. I got the strong feeling Cavuto was the same way and his quote of "Go, Bush, go!" as being bin Laden's endorsement of Bush's candidacy was spontaneous. I'm sure he regrets it, now! LOL!

[MidwestTransplant]

11. Who on Fox said that?

[Stuckinthebush]

13. Well of course he does!

Bush has been OBL's best friend these past three years. He has given OBL the destruction of Sadaam, the curtailing of freedoms in the US, the increased distrust of America around the world, and the best recruitment tool for OBL he has ever had.

You're damn right he wants Bush! That is why America wants Kerry!

[txindy]

37. Yes, that's what Faux said, too. OBL wins if Bush continues.

The Mideast hates Bush so much OBL gets more support. They said it. I heard them!

I need a cold compress on my head! Sheesh. This has been one helluva week! Just when I thought it couldn't POSSIBLY get any worse for Junior, the Bogeyman comes out from under his bed. Good grief.

[cheezus]

14. BUSH TRADED OSAMA FOR SADDAM!

this is the line. spread it

[LiberteToujours]

21. I like this line

Clear and concise, easy to understand. Drive it home!

[mzmolly]

23. "BUSH TRADED OSAMA FOR SADDAM"

:hi:

[ydya]

26. And a terrorist to be named later.........

Remember, the war must never end..... for the pukes to retain power thru fear and ignorance

[Rockholm]

36. EXCELLENT!

[ClintonTyree]

15. I saw that too..............

I couldn't believe it. I don't think they're sure who it helps or hurts though, they said it both ways, but when I heard them speculate that it might hurt Bush I damned near crapped my pants.

[Oreo]

16. You have to wonder...

if this is where the media starts to try to make ammends with President Kerry

[The Magistrate]

17. That Is Right, Ma'am

All this does is re-emphasize the failures of the criminals of the '00 Coup in prosecuting the war against the Islamic fundamentalist radicals who atacked our country. It gives new edge and further sustains the line that the criminals missed a golden opportunity to catch this wretch by "outsourcing" the job at Tora Bora, and to the colossal distraction from this vital effort the invasion of Iraq reoresents. It drives home to the people that for all the bluster of the Andover cheerleader, all his "Dead or alive" and "We'll smoke 'em out" and his "You can run but you can't hide" posturings, the fact is that Bin Ladin has indeed evaded the might of the United States, as this has been directed by this criminally incompetent administration, and is still in operation and doing quite well for himself. It is an excellent and sovereign reminder of the failures of this administration in what most people consider a vital matter, and gives the lie entirely to the Andover cheerleader's pretense that he is up to the job of protecting the nation. For that, better to turn to someone who has actually closed with an armed enemy, and shot him dead....

"If you repeat a lie often enough, you are a Republican."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[musiclawyer]

30. Brilliant

Please send your comments to the Kerry Camp. All Kerry has to say is, "the President told Osama that you can't run and you can't hide, and that he'd be caught dead or alive, and would smoke him out,...... but then the President changed his tune and said he's not really concerned about osama. Well. I am and there will be no more osama videos and osam threats after I become President." Game over.

[Joe Turner]

32. couldn't agree more, well said

[mzmolly]

45. Yes indeed Sir.

All this does is re-emphasize the failures of the criminals of the '00 Coup in prosecuting the war against the Islamic fundamentalist radicals who atacked our country.

:toast:

[southern democrat]

19. How in the hell, finding out that S.O.B. is stiil alive and at large.

Threating the American people is going to hurt Kerry. This tape just reinforces the case against Bush. It starkly points out Bush's failure to capture or kill Bin laden. If the Bushies are wanting this to be a silver bullett against Kerry, it will backfire.

[kostya]

42. What's the DU equivalent to "ditto" :P I agree completely.

If this was in any way engineered by RoveCo it was a huge mistake. Just exactly highlights what Kerry said during the debates and confirms OBL is still out there. - K

:bounce:

[troublemaker]

20. Universal answer to republican spin on OBL>>

"Do you honestly believe that Osama Bin Laden is sitting in a cave somewhere thinking, "I'll bet my endorsement will really help Kerry!" Good lord... Osama Bin Laden is evil, not stupid. Think for a minute before talking, would you?

[Joe Turner]

31. Well I'll say this

The very fact that OBL is alive and well and still making threats against the U.S.A. when Bush let him get away in Tora Bora then impulsively decided to wage a costly war on another country that had NOTHING to do with 911 can only hurt Bush.

This is particularly so since Bush himself went on record as saying "he is not that all concerned" about capturing/killing OBL as he was reaving up his war machine to invade Iraq.

[mzmolly]

49. I'd love to see a melted campaign ad of Bush's "not concerned" statment

and select Osama statements today. :evilgrin:

Course this is a job for the 527's.

[JHBowden]

34. bin Laden needs to be terminated.

I don't care who is president -- this piece of shit needs to die. Too bad he wasn't a priority for Bush-Cheney.

[nonconformist]

35. Holy shit. Hell just froze over. nt

[MsTryska]

39. One of my freeper cohorts apparently

got the same message as the takeaway sentiment. OBL's statement was a Bush endorsment.

[txindy]

41. No doubt about it. BushCo will try to spin it, but anyone who hears it

will know the truth. It is a total smackdown of Bush followed by what amounts to an endorsement. Faux got caught in a moment of stunned candor. I can't blame them. I swear my mouth was on the floor during the whole thing.

[MsTryska]

51. Can't wate till i can leave the Cubemaze

and hear it for myself.


from what i'm reading, i hesitiate to say this, but OBL sounds like a downright sympathetic character to me right now.


I suppose from his perspective he's been fucked seven ways from sunday by Bushco, so maybe he is.

[txindy]

54. It was definitely weird

He sounded like a guest lecturer in college. He was poised and relaxed. Knew his facts. Talked reasonably (for him) and pointed out the obvious: Bush had his chances before and after 9/11 and blew them out of laziness and complacency. Compared his admin. to corrupt Arab regimes! Says our safety doesn't depend on Bush or Kerry, but on our policies. Does say that Bush is good for his (OBL's) business! Dismisses the "OBL hates us for our freedom" nonsense for what it is -- nonsense.

Wait until you see it. I'm.... I don't know what I am. Floored doesn't cover it.

[MsTryska]

55. So did you come away

respecting him, for his honesty or soemthing? Cuz i think i might, and i haven't even seen it yet.


if the tape is legitimate, maybe he's got some clarity or 20/20 vision. he could also be on his deathbed and haunted by the large-scale waste of life. I honestly don't believe he's a sociopath. he seems to fixated on his goal.

[txindy]

56. It was freaky

He was so calm, you could be persuaded, for a moment or two, to believe he was reasonable. No way that can be true, but....Look, here's part of the transcript:

"Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al Qaida. Your security is in your own hands. Any nation that does not attack us will not be attacked. The event that affected me most personally was in 1982, when America gave permission for Israel to invade Lebanon. That built a strong desire in me to punish the guilty. It never occurred to us that he, the commander in chief of the country, would leave 50,000 citizens in the two towers to face those horrors alone, because he thought listening to a child discussing her goats was more important."
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/29/international/29WIRE-TRANS.html?oref=login&oref=login

It was a calm man, not ranting, not raving, not screaming for vengeance or divine intervention. It was unnerving. He isn't what I had pictured. He's still evil, yes, no doubt, but he isn't the laughing madman I had pictured.

Does this make ANY sense? Lol! I'm trying to pull all of this together and it's really boggled my mind.

[txindy]

57. Forgot to add: OBL looked very healthy. Tan, relaxed, NOT on his deathbed.

[mzmolly]

59. seemed calm and relaxed.

:(

[demokatgurrl]

40. I know there's a trick here somewhere.....

[kostya]

47. That's what Boston fans have been saying, too! :)

When you've been diss'd so long it's hard to recognize when things are turning your way!

[Dangerman]

48. Don't get me wrong.

I hate Osama, but I give him applause for slamming Bush for the weasel of a "commander-in-chief" that he is!

[Tim_in_HK]

52. Please don't ever applaud Osama

He's a vicious killer who needs to be taken out.

[Dangerman]

50. Oh...

For a sick-o, hypocritical, lying crap of a network, Faux News has admitted the truth for once.

I hope Rupert Murdoch turns in his resignation for this.

[AngryOldDem]

53. Wow...

Sent my husband a link to the story earlier this afternoon with the subject line of "Bin Laden Endorses Bush." I thought I was being a wise-ass at the time...perhaps I wasn't.

[monobrau]

58. Freeper pants fill with poo

I noticed a rather unpleasant smell wafting across the land as thousands of freeper bowels evacuated simultaneously within the last hour.
I think a few of them might actually drop dead from the stress come Nov. 3rd.

[Kipepeo]

60. I think it's obvious he would prefer Bush in office

They are both fanatics and both help each other's efforts. Bush helps Osama win new recuits by being his "Great Satan" and Osama helps Bush maintain power by being his Terrorist Boogeyman.
