OK, the 9/11 anniversary approaches and there just happens to be another Bin Laden tape....

[marmar]

in which he criticizes the Democrats for not stopping the war. He must get cable TV in his cave, because that seems awfully specific. Or perhaps KKKarl pulled out his "bin Laden's Greatest Hits" video......
Is anyone else prepared to call bullshit yet?

[Vincardog]

1. I call BULLSHIT already

[Roxy66]

2. Boy, it sure sounded like Repug talking points, didn't it?

This is going to get really sickening

[BOSSHOG]

3. OBL - republican campaign strategist

rove and bin laden know their audience well. People who believe they are patriotic and do and act as they are told by the party, because they sure as fuck don't give a damn about our country

[spirit of wine]

4. It Is "The Corbomite Maneuver"

For those of you that are unfamiliar with a Star Trek term, this is exactly what has been used on us these past 7 years.

5. The moment we heard about it on the news, my mother said ...

"9/11's coming." :eyes:

Not only does Bin Laden always release a tape when BushCo needs a boost, but he also hits all the GOP talking points! What a guy, huh? :sarcasm:

[SidDithers]

14. How is a Bin Laden tape a boost for Bush?...

Wouldn't people see it as a reminder of his failed foriegn policy and inability to catch the ones responsible for 9/11?

I think that everytime Bin Laden shows his face, it's a big "neener neener, I'm still here" directed at Boosh.

23. you would think so, but it was not the case in 2004

25. It should work that way, but it doesn't

Whenever BushCo is in trouble we get a tape, a terrorist alert or the discovery of a terrorist plot. You can practically set your watch by it - it's that predictable! Three days before the tape came out, I told a friend that we were due for a terrorist alert or another video and sure enough ... :eyes:

Keith Olbermann's "The Nexus of Politics and Terror" does a great job of laying it all out.

6. And

President peddles is conveniently out of town.

[Justyce]

8. He's busy producing & directing a video...

not to mention how time-consuming it is to cast a suitable Bin Laden look-alike... ;)

[Justyce]

7. Does anyone other than the insane 26-29% of bush's followers actually

buy it though?? Sometimes I think they're just embarrassing themselves being so damn predictable with their boogey man routine... And whatever happened to "the American terrorist", whatever the hell his name was, Shazaam or something...? Did they ever catch him?

[mmonk]

9. Bullshit it is.

Conveniences like that don't just don't happen ALL the damn time. It's bad but I trust nothing at this stage.

[spirit of wine]

10. In Bush Terminology

This dog won't hunt- heh heh.

[L. Coyote]

11. There is a huge difference between BS and Propaganda.

BS is what we do for fun.

Propaganda is how dark political forces perpetuate themselves.

Fundamentalism is a serious problem in our global community today. The fundamentalists are starting wars, killing and displacing millions of people, and threatening the stability of global economics. It is time that we, as a global community, put a stop to fundamentalism and call out the BS (read propaganda) for what it is.

We will not be divided. We are one world, one people, one inter-dependent community. The Fundamentalist's propaganda of othering and attempting to create out-groups must not be tolerated, no matter who it is!

12. I didn't know Just For Men beard coloring was available in Afghan caves.

Or maybe it's literally bullshit he's using to hide the grey.

13. Consider it called

15. Does the Pentagon and JCS pay his Comcast bill ? I wonder...

16. In the middle they'll get cut off for being a download hog

That would make even Ms. Teen South Carolina convinced that something is amiss, and it isn't her.

[Generator]

17. YES and I want to scream

or take some blood pressure medicine.

I'm SO SICK of reality being manufactured. Where is the reality? How the fuck can we even know..and every damn time they say "it appears to be authentic"... if there is NO DOUBT it's fundamentlism..it's not honest thought.

[Ino]

18. What does Bush spokesman Bin Laden have to do with 9/11?

Everyone knows it was Saddam!
:sarcasm:

[OwnedByFerrets]

19. For the life of me.......

I just cant figure out how reminding americans that he has still not been caught is a GOOD thing for this administration. Other than the fact of a complicit media which will not scream it from the rafters.

[superkia]

20. If the transcript is acurate, I dont think our government wrote it!

I just read the transcript and my interpretation was " America open your eyes ". It sounded like he copied some of its subject matter from DU. Here is the the link that I was just reading.

"Bin Ladin directed his message at the American people" is the caption under the picture. It makes you feel stupid.

http://english.aljazeera.net/English/archive/archive?ArchiveId=7403

I forgot to mention that the media is saying that he points out that the Democratic congress has done nothing but I don't see that?

[xiamiam]

22. thanks for the link...i think its a pretty accurate analysis...interesting part about the pet goat..

[xiamiam]

21. its laughable ...Boogie Bin Laden raises from the grave just in time for 911...well, they fooled us

before...cant blame them for trying the same crap again...ho hum..

[paparush]

24. It was like Karl Rove wearing a bad Halloween costume.
