I just heard the best comeback to the William Ayers thing on Thom Hartman

[Quixote1818]

A caller commented that he saw a lady get into an argument with two Republicans who were calling Wright a terrorist and asking why Obama hung out with him. The guy calling in said, the lady responded with:

"Well, Bush's Dad was having breakfast with Osama Bin Ladens family on the morning of Sept. 11th...." :wow:

:rofl:

It is utterly stunning that Democrats are put on the defensive on things like Wright and Ayers when our OWN President hangs out with the fucking family of the people who blew up the World Trade Centers! Un-fucking believable!

This comeback should be used far and wide by Democrats. Better yet, we could say that: "McCain is good friends with the Bush family who were eating breakfast with Osama's family on the morning of Sept. 11th".

1. But The CIA Was Responsible For 9/11

But that is a good comeback!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

:hi:

2. I posted this earlier today as well -- GREAT comeback

One that we should ALL remember when confronted with the Wright
association ...

I'll bet Obama HIMSELF might even be able to use that, if the
"guilt by association" argument comes up in the future ...

3. Osama's dad was dead long before 9/11.

1967. Bush met with Shafiq bin Laden.

from wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family

Alleged business connections of the Bush and bin Laden families
Michael Moore's highly critical movie Fahrenheit 9/11 alleges strong business connections between the Bush family and the bin Laden family. Moore based most of his claims on Craig Unger's House of Bush, House of Saud which relates how Salem bin Laden invested through James R. Bath, the sole U.S. business representative for Salem bin Laden, some money in Arbusto Energy, a company run by George W. Bush <1>.

Several members of the Bush family are investors in the Carlyle Group, a defense contractor and investment fund with numerous interests in the Mideast, run by former Bush administration Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci.<2> The media noted that former President George H. W. Bush attended an investment meeting at the Washington, D.C. Ritz-Carlton hotel on September 10, 2001 and in particular a meeting with Shafiq bin Laden, representing joint interests of the Saudi Binladin Group and Carlyle.<3> (Bush did not attend the morning of September 11, although it has been alleged that the meeting took place during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Former Secretary of State James Baker was present, along with Carlucci.<3>) The Carlyle and Binladin groups mutually severed their business relationship on October 26, 2001.<3>


i agree with the tactic, it just needs to be accurate: "Bush's dad met with A Bin Laden the DAY BEFORE 9/11".

5. I agree. Was it Osama's uncle? Who was Bush meeting with?

It's probably best to just say "The Bin Laden Family".

4. PERFECT!!!!! This is something I can really use! n/t

[TNOE]

6. Ha - yep, that's a splendid comeback

but it wasn't his father - it was a brother though - and it wouldn't hurt to throw in the fact that the Bushs and BinLadens have been business partners for many years.
