CNN correspondent that once said Al Qaeda prefers Kerry now says OBL sounded like "angry blogger"
Edited on Sat Sep-08-07 11:44 PM by antiimperialist
Thinkprogress has picked up the commentary from Kelli Arena from CNN, who is trying to equate Osama Bin Laden to liberals, much like David Brooks did in a recent New York Times piece.

Thinkprogress reminds us that Arena said in 2004 that "“some speculation that Al Qaeda believes it has a better chance of winning in Iraq if John Kerry is in the White House.”

It's a must-read.

I just saw the video that a DUer posted where that RAT bastard David Brooks said Bin Laden sounded like an angry liberal.

6. Well, I guess they had to put out those talking points to get everyone
to stop talking about Larry Craig and Alberto Gonzalez.

8. It's funny. He DOES sound like an angry "liberal blogger." That's why I think
Karl Rove wrote it.

9. To Republicans, everyone in the world probably sounds like an angry liberal blogger these days.

They must be aware that everyone in the world hates them.
