Top Bush campaign official giddy over bin Laden tape

[TheWebHead]

A top Bush campaign official said: "This couldn't have been timed better for us. We want people to concentrate on terrorism in the last hours of this campaign.

"This is where the President has shown his strongest hand and it wipes out all the difficult news we have had to deal with over the past week."

ok, I'll ignore that it's News of the World, they may have some cred on this since they're a Murdoch rag...

1. They are happy

That the person who murdered so many people is still alive?

[bushwakker]

8. that's the long and short of it

sure wish someonev on the tv would make this point.

[CAcyclist]

20. They have some mighty bad karma coming

So this guy is gloating about inducing fear into the American populace?

Man, I really wish someone would just stand up and say to everyone "we have nothing to fear except fear itself". It doesn't have to be Kerry, just someone stand up and say it!

[harpo]

2. so the guy that attacked us coming out with a video is a good thing?

I think I am going to throw up...
:puke: :tinfoilhat:

[metisnation]

3. omg sick very sick

they have said nothing about the 8 marines KIA and the 9 WOUNDED..scum. The GOP would cheer on another 9/11 if it exonerated their king.

4. I DON"T GET IT!!!

How can it be good that:

--Bin Laden was behind September 11
--bush stated that he doesn't think about Bin Laden any more - couldn't care less whether he's caught or not
--Bin Laden is currently living and filming happily, free as a bird.

HOW IS THIS GOOD FOR BUSH??? Am I living in some sort of warped world, or what?

12. I'm beginning to wonder myself. We'll know on Tuesday.

We'll see just how stupid, ignorant, and gullible most Americans really are.

I hope they're smart-and, won't fall for this. But, I'm not so sure anymore.

15. Jon Stewart: "My brain is broken."

[secretpoet]

21. Ah, but that would be assuming

that Bush-supporters have ever cared about reality, consequences, and so-on.

And, you know, some of those undecideds might not have the willpower/braincells to withstand fear/war emotional attacks that'll be saying that only Bush will be able to get bin Laden once-and-for-all.

Sad, but not implausible.

5. they are fucking fucking crazy. OBL IS ALIVE, FUCKHEADS

HE KILLED 3000 AMERICANS. This is not good for Bush or for america!

[saccheradi]

10. yep... see below.

"Americans are less concerned with what OBL says on the tape than they are with the fact that he is still alive to make the damned thing in the first place..."

[deadparrot]

6. Giddy that a mass murderer is free, alive and well.

Truly sickening.

[LisaLynne]

7. Excuse me?

This showcases an area where the "President has shown his strongest hand"? How, exactly? By letting the supposed mastermind behind 9/11 go free to this very day to make tapes mocking him and our country? Geez, these people are idiots.

[Nay]

24. Really! How the hell they think this helps *, I have no idea.

[Sparkly]

9. Yeah, let's have Osama hand Chimp another Great Success

He helped him so well with 9/11, and ever since. All the Chimp's successes were handed to him by Bin Laden.

[Cobalt Violet]

11. I would expect from them nothing more.

They have proven how maniacal they are every chance they get. I really would be surprise if they didn't look at it that way.

[snacker]

13. Have they no shame?

[johnnyrocket]

14. Sick Fucks...I hope 'the media' takes these 'officals' to task..

over comments like that.

[saccheradi]

16. not very bloody likely.

[Heath.Hunnicutt]

17. I don't see how it is anything but bad for their campaign.

It seems like all bad news for them. Osama looks rested and healthy, and has a podium. He threatens us with more attacks as revenge for US policy offenses from 1982.

Bush isn't making us any more secure. The security moms have got to be wondering why they are voting for more of this.

[Flammable Materials]

18. "President Bush would like to say 'Thank You, Osama'" ...

... and cordially invite you to the Coronation.

[GreenPoet64]

19. Focus on terror is backfiring--OBL alive--Kerry is right . n/t

[joanne]

22. Bastards!!!!

Every time I think Repukes cant sink any lower they prove me wrong.

:nuke:

Fight terrorism.... ELECT JOHN KERRY!!!!!!!!!!

[dennis4868]

23. I wonder how many family.....

members of those who died on 911 were giddy over the OBL tape?

These guys are bastards!

[NOWMDNOGWB]

25. They take after their leader

they're all COMPLETE IDIOTS
