Delusional Freeper woman ranting and raving about Al-Q/Saddam partnership

[Zuni]

you have to see it to believe it. This same woman has been posting 'evidence' of this sinister relationship for months and months. Her evidence consists mostly of Free Republic threads and articles from Newsmax and WND

1. HEHEHEHE, I like this one:

"The left still doesn't understand the internet. They think we can't look up their earlier reporting."

Evidently the Freepers don't understand the internet, they don't realize that we can find quotes from their own RimJob ranting about Bush being a cokehead.

2. So, I suppose...

...FreeRepublic, Newsmax and WorldNetDaily have more sway than the CIA and the 9/11 Commission? And George Bush himself!!! Does Peach remember Bush saying that we'd found no links between Saddam and 9/11? Maybe this nut thinks that the CIA and the 9/11 Commission and Bush are just part of the "liberal media".

[Zuni]

3. They really do think the CIA is ultra-liberal, like Greenpeace or PETA

You should have heard them when Porter Goss took over. They were ranting how he would clear all the anti-american commies and Clintonites out of the CIA.
I was baffled

4. Commies and Clintonites??

Like George Tenet, who was given the Medal of Freedom by Bush. I'd love to see them trying to wrap their minds around that one.

6. Bush is only a moderate

This is the problem. There are loads of FReepers who do not like him at all (though just about any criticism and they send your arse off to Jupiter in no time at all).

Just about everybody in the administration moves in and out of favour, day by day, hour by hour. One has to be very quick to keep up with the insane flickers.

10. Bush is only a moderate?

You mean in their eyes, right?

[tjwmason]

13. Hell yes

I don't think that any person whose cranium is even partially intact would call him a moderate.

5. MY favorite -

"Republicans don't let Democrats fall for the MSM lies."

The MSM is almost completely under control of Rethug-run corporations, you ASSTARD!! You may be able to pull this "liberal media" shit with the droolers, but not with us.

This is what happens when you allow mental wards internet access.

7. They think the media is liberal

Honest! I hear it every time I get in a discussion with one of them. I point out fact, they point out fiction. It's quite painful to watch them stammer and contradict themselves sometimes.

[HughBeaumont]

19. I mean . . . they're such proponents of "looking things up"

and "just the facts"; they should practice what they preach. I didn't realize corporations like Viacom, GE, Disney and Newscorp were liberal. That's certainly news to me.

The media hasn't been liberal in nearly ten years and much to their chagrin, isn't going to be any time soon. They're just once again trying to find an excuse where there isn't one.

8. i need to take another shower now, thanks

bleh
the logic is just...staggering.

9. So, anyone have anything to refute this stuff yet?

I did notice, that as the articles got more recent, the news sources were almost exclusively from The Washington Times, Weekly Standard, Newsmax, and other RW mouthpieces. Was this intelligence information later discredited?

[skypilot]

12. I haven't read it but...

...I'm pretty sure the 9/11 Commissions final report refuted this stuff.

[dean_dem]

17. I dug a little more...

...and of the reputable news sources listed there, most contribute to the 911 Commissions report of "no collaborative relationship." Much of the evidence was pretty circumstantial, and not very convincing. Other articles were just reporting which neocon went on what television show and tried to paint an Iraq-Al Qaeda connection. It looks like whatever connection was there was more between Iraq and Sudanese militant groups, not with Bin Laden. It would be like saying that there was a US-Taliban connection because of the few meetings the two groups had in the past.

I haven't really done any in-depth research on this, anyone know any background on the Sudan-Iraq "alliances?" I thought I remember that connection turned out to be false.

11. I love this sig line:

(Have you PRAYED for your President today?)

:7

[Arkana]

15. I have, as a matter of fact

I prayed for Al Gore every day 2000-2004, and now I pray for John Kerry. How about the rest of you? ;)

14. These people are so goddamn dilusional.

Osama considers Saddam an infidel. And he loathed the fact that Saddam was running a secular state. In fact, his Deputy PM -- Tariq Aziz -- was a CHRISTIAN. Women were allowed in the government. How much more constrast between Saddam and Osama could there be?

Set aside there's no hard evidence, it just doesn't make ANY sense ideologically.

16. I refuse to go to Free Republic

There's way too many republicans there. Damned place is crawling with them. The webmasters need to spray more often.

[Left Is Write]

18. Um, some of the posts in that thread are downright scary.

And they have the nerve to call Barbara Boxer looney? I think we know who the real looneys are.

This quote made me sick:

"but Boxer and Co. would rather lie about good and decent people than protect this country."

Condi Rice? Dubya? Rumsfeld? Would these be the alleged "good and decent" people?

20. wait, when did it become legitimate to self reference

threads to buttress arguments?
