Doof Quote of the Day

Posted on 11/25/2009 at 7:40 am by Bob Cesca

“We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.” —Dana Perino

I’m speechless.

Adding… By the way, in the video, Perino, Hannity and a random British guy are suggesting that Fort Hood was a terrorist attack. Of course they conveniently don’t mention the Beltway Snipers. If we’re going to label Fort Hood as an Islamic terror attack, we have to label the Beltway Snipers as an Islamic terror attack as well. But again, wingnuts don’t care about consistency or self-contradiction.

    Dana Perino always looks so nice, when she’s not talking.

    Well, in Perino’s defense, she wasn’t the Press Secretary on 9/11. I can only assume she didn’t know about it since she didn’t even know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was either.

    That might be doof quote of the month.

  • josh dobbin

    I guess there was no anthrax sent in the mail, either.

    Too stupid to live.

    We shouldn’t be surprised: This is simply the Rethug strategy of “repeat it until it becomes truth.” You can tell the press thinks IOKIYAR, because, with rare exception, they never challenge the “new meme,” but actually repeat it.Here’s how to have fun with wingnuts: Point out that the worst attack on American soil, ever, occurred under the Worst President, Ever (all rights reserved). When they parrot the Limbaugh/Hannity talking point that “9/11 was Bill Clinton’s fault” (see this for a handy refutation of that nonsense: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364×1975019), then calmly state that, using the same logic, if the Ft. Hood attack was a “terra” attack, it’s George Bush’s fault.Their cerebral cortexes will explode, but they’re so stunted you might not notice.

    Yet Obama nominates Perino for a spot on the Broadcasting Board of Governors. I understand that the BBG is bipartisan, still I would have thought he could have done better.

  • MattMcD

    Remember, Clinton was president on 9/11/2001, because it was all his fault.Just like Obama was president in September ’08, when the stock market crashed.

    And how about the beck-watching right-winger who shop up the unitarian church?

  • jhw22

    See, 9/11 was Clinton’s fault, and now they want to tag Ft. Hood as a terrorist attack so they can claim Obama had a terrorist attack on his watch. If we apply the same logic that 9/11 was Clinton’s, you would THINK that Ft. Hood was Bush’s. Wait, I used the word logic. There’s my mistake.Jennifer

    I predicted right after the event that these nimrods would begin to make that claim. Took them a while, I suppose they were waiting for just the right moment. Yet they still fail.It doesnt matter if pointing out the truth does not get through to them, if they are willing to constantly lie about something in order to get it accepted as truth, then we just need to club them like baby seals with the truth to prevent that from happening.Everytime they lie, we tell the truth and back it up with real evidence, everytime. Keep up the pressure and their lies wont have a leg to stand on.

    I knew it was true. I have been living in a parallel universe for the past 8+ years. Let me get my tin foil had back on.

    Once again, it’s all about imprinting the message. I’m not sure why people don’t get that concept. Facts don’t matter. Truth is irrelevant. Imprinting the message into the weak minds of their loyal followers is all that matters.

    Besides 9/11 and the anthrax attacks….Perio insists the Ft. Hood shooting — one event by one deeply disturbed man — is an act of terrorism.OK, by that standard, we must include in Bush’s list of terrorist attacks on US soil the DC sniper (and the guy’s name was Muhammad!), the grenade blasts outside the UK Embassy in NYC (which Fox’s Michelle Malkin declared was “clearly meant to terrorize or worse”), and the Ohio sniper. Let’s not forget the Glen Beck fan who attacked a Knoxville church for being liberal.There were also attacks on abortion clinics that I’d certainly categorize as terrorism: May 2000, arsonists hit a clinic in Concord, NH; September 2000, a Catholic priest drove his car into the Northern Illinois Health Clinic then pulled out an ax before being shot at by a security guard; June 11, 2001, a bombing at a clinic in Tacoma, Washington; November 2001, Clayton Waagner mailed hoax letters containing a white powder to 554 clinics; July 4, 2005, a clinic Palm Beach, Florida was the target of an arson; December 12, 2005, Patricia Hughes and Jeremy Dunahoe threw a Molotov cocktail at a clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana; September 13, 2006, David McMenemy of Rochester Hills, Michigan, crashed his car into the Edgerton Women’s Care Center in Davenport, Iowa, then doused the lobby in gasoline and started a fire; April 25, 2007, a package left at a women’s health clinic in Austin, Texas, contained an explosive device capable of inflicting serious injury or death; May 9, 2007, a Planned Parenthood clinic in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was set afire; December 6, 2007, Dr. Curtis Boyd’s clinic in Albuquerque, NM was destroyed by arson — later that same month, two Planned Parenthood buildings were attacked, with arson destroying a surgery center used for abortion. In fact, in just the last year of Bush’s term alone, 20% of abortion clinics were attacked, up from 18.4% in 2005 (also a Bush year).

    Perino is a pathological liar. If she ever accidentally told the truth, she’d experience the biological equivalent of Microsoft’s Blue Screen of Death.
