Disgusting

The House Republican Conference exploiting 9/11 for political gain:

I can’t be snarky about this one. The use of 9/11 imagery is disgusting, frankly, and the Republican Party owes us all an apology — but more importantly, they owe the victims of those attacks an apology. The Republicans are using the on-screen deaths of thousands of people in order to score a cheap, debunked political point.

    When are they going to realize that trying to scare people isn’t going to work anymore?I don’t get it.The 2008 election was a resounding rejection of this same kind of shit.In Bizzaro World, did the 08 election never take place and Obama just appeared out of thin air?In Bizzaro World, did McCain, Palin, and the Rightwing not spend every minute of everyday trying to make people afraid of Obama and then get rejected ?Rudy campaigned almost exclusively on 9/11 and that didn’t work so well even in a primary.Are the republicans TRYING to destroy themselves? I guess the rapture didn’t come for the whole world so they can atleast create their own rapture for the party.

    For this, they deserve to be destroyed. Let’s have a Ron Paul libertarian party replace them. NOW.QT

    Sure, the GOP is addicted to self-infliected catastrophes. All they’re doing here is masturbating to violence. It’s all they know how to do.Certainly they cannot give pleasure to anyone, only pain. You know what makes them achieve orgasm? that they’re *||* close to be discovered as the masterminds of this so called terrorist attack.

    I agree with that Peter. Everyday comes closer to the real truth.

    Osama bin Who-den?Also: Are we really supposed to think that it’s because the prison at Guantanamo Bay is just so frickin’ awesome that these guys got captured?With that music, and that flying text, I kept thinking “whoa! If this is the trailer, the movie’s gonna be wicked!” I expected the last lines to be:NO OTHER PRISON COULD HOLD THEMCOMING THIS FALLGUANTANAMO: The Story Of The Magical Barbed Wire That Keeps Us Safe

    Fascist propaganda is amazingly hilarious if you look at it from the proper angle. I wonder if they realized that they achieved comic genius.This is just hysterical. It can’t be taken seriously except by authoritarian gumbies. May they goose-step in happy, terrified harmony, off of a cliff and out of our lives.

    MZ – LOL yeah its almost like some satricial knockoff B movie trailerIts like Grindhouse – Planet Terror”NO HOPE, NO CURE… NO PROBLEM”Makes me think of the mock trailers that Tarantino and Rodriguez put in front of the Grindhouse movies like Machette and Thanksgiving.

    “How does closing Guantanamo Bay keep us safer?”You’re asking that NOW?http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,96461,00.html

    Cmon guys, knock it off. Don’t you know that “logic” and “not living your life in pants-pissing fear” are unpatriotic?My favorite part of these clips is always the ominous music. I guess their goal is to have people make a mental connection that isn’t there in order to imply that if we close down overseas prisons….9/11 will happen again? Because obviously, if these dangerous people are currently being detained in one location, if they’re moved to another location, a terrorist attack is magically going to happen.

    I’m pretty sure the plan is to simply set those men free once Gitmo is closed. After all, Osama Obama is a fascist socialist muslim. It’s a proven fact that Obama hates America and bows to Saudi princes.glhpheoh, Sorry, that was me throwing up in my mouth. I just wanted to know how it would feel to write like a wingnut for a minute.So the question posed in the video is “How does closing Guantanamo make us safer?” Perhaps the best response is that it doesn’t, but neither does keeping it open. Catching the people who need to fill that prison (you know, like Osama) could make us safer. But I don’t think it matters one lick where we keep them. At least closing the prison might eliminate a recruiting tool for AQ.

    Rogect – What they are trying to imply is that the “terrorists” will somehow escape or be let loose after they are in the country.Then they will proceed to go on a crusade across the country in support of gay marriage, bombing churches, stealing your guns, taking your freedom away, putting mustard on their burgers, eating gherkin pickles, and destroyig america as They know it.

    Apparently, their new talking point is that once their own US soil, some bleeding heart judge will let them go and but them on a bus to Colorado Springs. Nevermind that lawyers for the detainees have already argued cases on their behalf all the way to the Supreme Court. Facts are irrelevant. All that matters is that the GOP still believes their best chance of regaining power is to scare the shit out the American public.

    Hmmm…well, it was just last week that the Republicans were accusing the Obama Administration of using fear tactics when it came to the economy AND the appearance of the H1N1 virus. Wow! They’ve made projection an art form.

  • Elizabeth

    Didn’t they do this at the Republican convention and didn’t Keith Olberman get in trouble for calling attention to it?Maybe all of this horrible behavior is just melding together in my head.

    No you’re right Elizabeth, they did do the same thing then.
