He's commenting about the anti war Lamont supporters. Anyone who calls for a pull out of Iraq is now officially a member of the EXTREME LEFT.

terror terror terror

a vote against Lieberman is a vote for terror

if we leave Iraq, there will be terror

Osama bin Laden once said, we will kick their asses because they are impatient.



Yes, we are impatient. We have no patience for incompetence.

And, where is Osama, again?

13. Oh yes, I hope they bring out the Osama-A-Tron video !

It is so contrived, it's inane to watch.

Hey guys in PsyOps? Please "oil his joints" a little more in the upper body. It was just a little too JERKY last time we viewed him.

Dumb Asses! The FEAR and TERROR meme is worn thin. :grr:

4. TERRA! TERRA! 9/11! BIN LADEN! TERRA!
If we don't fall into the spell, we're "extreme leftists".


Consider yourself warned.

5. I'd like to ask these Bushbots "who is on the extreme right?"
Edited on Wed Aug-09-06 01:35 PM by JohnnyRingo
When "common sense moderates" like Tony Snow or Sean Hannity look to their right, who do they see?

Nowadays, even Pat Buchanan is a moderate voice in this sea of Republican spin.

I can't think of one person outside the clan who holds a more extreme right wing point of view....And I'd bet some of them would appear to take a centrist position by comparison on some issues.

6. Oh Brother...
Hey Tone... If SIXTY PERCENT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE is considered "extreme left" these days, what percentage actually agrees with YOU? Don't forget to allow for the moderates and pragmatics, 'kay Mr. Snow?

NOW what do you have?

Forget the numbers; I'll tell you what you have. A press secretary talkin' out of his ass.

Again.

Sheesh. I never thought I'd actually wax nostalgic for the days of Ari Fleischer... :eyes:

9. Typical mischaracterization technique!
The CT Democratic Party didn't vote against Lieberman. They voted FOR change.

10. Poor Tony
shouldn't be touching this tar baby.

I love it!! A smart repuke would be keeping his mouth shut about Lieberman.

11. I'll take that as a compliment.
They're scared - they know those against the war are not a small radical faction and all they can do is resort to name-calling.

12. Yeah, they must have all gotten the same memo.
New code phrase to use, "the extreme left". Now repeat it over and over. You know this means that 75% of the population is the "extreme left". Oh, but that doesn't make sense! Shut up! Of course it does, unless you are a commie!

16. Any chance that a reporter then asked him if 60% of the country ...
... could then be considered left wing "extremists"? (I know, too much to ask for.)

18. its nothing new to me
Edited on Wed Aug-09-06 02:36 PM by LSK
Cindy Sheehan and Moveon.org have been called the extreme left.

AAR was called the extreme left.

Howard Dean was called the extreme left.

There is nothing new here, except that Americans are starting to see through it now.
