O'Reilly: "the threat from al Qaeda is a strong Republican issue"

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/bulletin/bulletin_070718.htm

<snip>

Bill O'Reilly, host of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, laid out the case that even the most critical coverage of the NIE report is unlikely to boost Democrats. O'Reilly claimed "the threat from al Qaeda is a strong Republican issue. And...Bush knows it. ... The left understands that if al Qaeda does strike America it will be in deep trouble. Liberal stands against Guantanamo and anti-terror measures will come back to haunt the left."

:crazy:

1. which is strange since Americans now trust Democrats more to keep America safe

from terrorism than Republicans. A figure swelled by the growing need to keep America safe from Republicans no doubt.

What a strange thing for O'Loofah to say.

2. Al-Quaeda is more powerful today after bush has spent half a trillion,

lost almost 4,000 troops, 10s of thousands injured, with no end in site and its a strong republican issue??? Those wacky conservative comedians with access to microphones are a hoot.

6. Yes - We're all part of the "Truman Show" now

Remember to periodically turn, smile and say "We're making progress," while holding up a can of Democracy™.

3. But Sean Hannity says that Democrats are "politicizing the War on Terror".

Surely you don't think that the good folks at FoxNoise are hypocritical, lying, pig-fuckers?

4. Wait a minute...

"The left understands that if al Qaeda does strike America it will be in deep trouble. Liberal stands against Guantanamo and anti-terror measures will come back to haunt the left."

But if there is another attack, wouldn't that instead actually prove the inefectiveness of Republican anti-terrorist measures like Guantanamo?

7. against anti-terror measures ?

I think the left is for legal intelligently thought out anti-terror measures. They are against things like say "illegal wire taping" or say "illegal torturing". These things aren't anti-terror measures they are terror measures simply employed by our own government.

On the other hand Bill is a sexual predator and a bad one at that.
