Another Repuke lie: there has not been another US terror attack

[leftofthedial]

since 9-11


what about the anthrax terror attacks that killed five, paralyzed several communities, had millions of Murkans opening their mail with tweezers, terrified the Congress, and had
Murkans sealing themselves up in their houses with plastic and duct tape like a bunch of do-it-yourself microwave dinners?

1. It didn't fit into their argument, so it didn't happen.

[tuvor]

2. Uh, the Beltway snipers?

Or do homegrown terrorists not count?

[0rganism]

9. Were they considered terrorists or garden-variety serial killers?

I seem to recall that terrorism requires some sort of coercive political motivation or other external goal to be classified as such. If you're murdering primarily for fun or profit, it's not the same crime, whether or not the effect on the general public is observably different.

3. We Pretend Anthrax Didn't Happen

for the obvious reason that one of their boys did it.

When's the last time you saw anyone in the press do a piece on the fact that all the targets of the anthrax attacks were Democrats?

[FreedomAngel82]

4. Exactly

If it was on a republican you better believe it would've been up in arms. But of course that would never happen. They got lucky the people who got attacked didn't die from anthrax. I still want justice from that. Wasn't Daschle working on a case on something with them?

[rwenos]

8. Daschle Project?

Haven't heard. Listened to him on Big Ed's show on Air America today. Would like to know more about such a project.

[FreedomAngel82]

11. I thought

a reason why they got Daschle with anthrax was because he was working on something and was a threat? :shrug: Does anybody know about that?

[rwenos]

12. Pray Tell, All Ye DU Netminers

I'd LOVE to know more about the Daschle targeting. Any links would be very welcome.

The RRR are such hateful bastards. They let it show a little too much on the anthrax thing. Probably why there have been no arrests, eh?

[raccoon]

20. Yep, that certainly went down the memory hole, didn't it? nt

[mcctatas]

5. The slimy bastards act like

before they came to power, NYC was like the west bank with bombs going off every day...Holy jumpin jesus...don't they remember how long it was between the 2 world trade center attacks?? I bet if (god forbid)there is another attack the bastards will find a way to blame it on the dems:argh:

[WatchWhatISay]

6. Weren't the anthrax attacks aimed at liberal/Dem types?

So of course that doesnt count as terrorism. Justifiable frustration.

[0rganism]

10. And the tabloid press

IIRC, one of the people who got the powder was a Nat'l Enquirer editor. I think he was one of the fatalities, too.

[lectrobyte]

19. and also some TV newspeople, too, if I remember right. A strange

set of targets for a "terrorist", to be sure.

[WatchWhatISay]

7. Weren't the anthrax attacks aimed at liberal/Dem types?

So of course that doesnt count as terrorism. Justifiable frustration.

[earth mom]

13. Maybe the threat of anthrax is what is keeping Congress from

Impeaching * or investigating Gannon, etc., etc., etc. It's a definite possibility.

[leftofthedial]

16. Congress had been cooperative with the bushturd

right after 9-11

The tone of bipartisan "cooperation" definitely changed after the anthrax attacks.

[quinnox]

14. they mean a massive style attack

on the scale of the al-queda attack.

It's true that there hasn't been another of that kind

[recoveringrepublican]

15. What about the DC sniper?

I consider that terror!

[leftofthedial]

17. that definitely terrorized people

I'd bet the Beltway Sniper is considered a serial or spree killer instead though. I don't think there was any political agenda.

[goodboy]

18. how about the judge that was murdered in atlanta, and the judge's

family that was murdered in chicago?
