[rodeodance]

[AX10]

1. Who said that?

[rodeodance]

5. the choras from the RW cable talk shows are saying that.

[rodeodance]

7. now talking of Rouge State (not a RW book).

[rodeodance]

2. getting talking points from the DNC says Tucker

[rodeodance]

3. earlier Joe Scarbourough played clips of kerry, Kennedy, et and said

OSL sounds like the Democrats.

[rodeodance]

22. But he said "I'm not comparing democrats to terrorists"

and then proceeded to do so. Very subtle. :sarcasm:

[Connie_Corleone]

6. Comparing Democrats to OBL. The New Republican Talking Point.

It'll be a miracle if the Democrats can win back congress this year with this sick, disgusting "media" calling Democrats every name in the book and comparing us to terrorists.

[rodeodance]

8. I have been flipping cable stations tonight--this equation is all over--

coming from all of them.

9. When it was just Tweety, it seemed like a horrendous mistake but

I see now it's an orchestrated attack in which the MSNBC anchors (sans Olbermann) are shills.

Disgusting.

[liveoaktx]

11. I want to repeat again that Joe Biden LAUGHED when Tweets said this

that was also disgusting. It's like a beaten wife giggling along with the abusive husband.

[formernaderite]

23. Biden is the ultimate tool....

mathews is an entertainer...but Biden is supposed to be an elected official representative of the people. Yeah, right....

[Straight Shooter]

10. Because the tape is a ruse, that's why.

It was written in English and then translated into Arabic for OBL to read. There are a couple threads on DU about it.

I think Rove is really sinking into the cesspool of dirty tricks. It's staggering. And who do they swipe at first? Howard Dean, because he told the truth about Abramoff and all the Repub scandals.

[tinrobot]

13. Exactly right... it is a ruse.

What pisses me off is that it will probably work.

[LilOrphan]

24. It probably won't work, actually

Over 50 percent of Americans are now against this war and saying the same, or quite similar things, to what the leading Dem senators are saying.

When Tweety et al makes a comparison like this, esp using Iraq, they've just called half of this country terrorists.

It would've worked when those bothered by the Iraq war failures were a small minority. Today? Not so much.

[AX10]

17. Come on Fitz, indict Rove!!! He is behind this.

[napi21]

12. I demand all of our Dem leaders get on TV immediately and

DEMAND an apology from all these RW hacks! It's been SOP for the RW to demand apologies from Dems for every stupid thing in the world! Well, NOW I WANT ONE!!!!!!

I'd call my Dem Rep or Sen to tell them, but I don't have any Dems in GA!!!!

PLEASE, those of you who are lucky enough to have some Dem in Washington...Call them and tell them to get their faces on TV and DEMAND an apology!!!!!!

[tinrobot]

14. Exactly what Rove wants...

A divisive issue to divert attention from Abramoff, NSA, etc...

[napi21]

19. That's fine! It will only be a diversion for 1/2 a day, if that.

Nothing is going to divert attention from the Abramoff mess. The indictments are coming, wether Rove likes it or not!

I WANT to see the Dems fight back for God sake! For being the "party of the non religious" they sure spend a whole lot of time "turning the other cheek!"

[Peggy Day]

15. Rachel Maddow gave Tucker hell for repeating that BS nt

Go Rachel

[MrSlayer]

16. Well that was the point of the tape wasn't it?

Osama on the run or in a cave somehow repeats everything the Chimp's political opponents do. It's so obviously a fake it's embarrassing.

[tinrobot]

18. The Democratic response should not be playing defense

When these idiots try to make the comparison to OBL, don't fall for it, because defending the charges just repeats the accusations and validates them

Instead - Dems should brush it off as horsecrap and ask one simple question:

Why is Osama still free to make these tapes four years after Bush promised to capture him?

Focus it back on the failures of Bush/Cheney.

[napi21]

20. NO that's wrong! Look at how it plays when the Pubs always portray

the Dems as being mean and nasty! "How can we refer to Shrub as a Nazi?" That tactic wins with the public! I don't disagree that they should also include the points that Osama is still hanging out somewhere, but they still have to point out that the real party of mean and nasty is the PUBS!

[Zomby Woof]

21. You gotta quit watching that shit!

Even a non-Dean fan like me is appalled by that kind of hateful RW propaganda.

Equating the Democrats with terrorists is their oldest and most despicable tactic.

Was it Hurricane Rita who said that?? Or Scab-burro?

[Beam Me Up]

25. This is PROOF, AFAIAC: Rove wrote the OBL communique--and put the

spin out to the THs.

:puke:

[Crunchy Frog]

26. I can barely stand to even turn on the television these days.

:puke:

[oasis]

27. Only a fool would believe we invaded Iraq to bring them democracy.
