"We Need More Attacks On American Soil-So People Can Appreciate BUSH"-Says: Ark. GOP Head
Edited on Sun Jun-03-07 09:15 PM by kpete
Arkansas GOP head: We need more 'attacks on American soil' so people appreciate Bush Josh Catone
Published: Sunday June 3, 2007


In his first interview as the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, Dennis Milligan told a reporter that America needs to be attacked by terrorists so that people will appreciate the work that President Bush has done to protect the country.

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Arkansas_GOP_head_We_need_more_0603.html


He said he’s “150 percent” behind Bush on the war in Iraq.

“At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on (Sept. 11, 2001 ), and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country,” Milligan said.

4. And attacks will prove "fighting them there rather than here" is working?
It will prove the USA is safer now? It will prove the bushite gvt is doing a good job making sure they are keeping track of the bad guys? I really don't understand how another attack would help. Darn that logic.

85. These people are warped beyond comprehension.
What he wants is for Americans to die so that Americans will become scared so that Americans will become galvanized behind Bush like after 9/11.

This guy is sick - the kind of man who would be more than happy to be involved in a false flag terror attack - a conspiracy like 9/11.

95. the statement is bullshit
what he really means is we should be attacked again so that the people will be terrorized into going along with the bushies the way they did right after 911. it really betrays how little he respects the american people and how little he appreciates the sanctity of human life. what is dishonest about his statement is what he would hope to gain from another terrorist attack: compliance from terrified constituents shocked into stupidity.

5. Sad to see what this political party is reduced to.
Hoping we get attacked again, so Bush's ego can be stroked. Dimwit obviously would like that to happen, but I doubt the consequences would deliver a post-9/11 reaction. If we are attacked again it's because Bush has created the conditions that invite an attack and the incompetence of this administration to stop it will be apparent to everyone.

We really need to purge this kind of thinking in our political discourse.

7. Seems this kind of thinking has been around for a long time
After all, the last King George could only lose his support in those "two thirds" states by having a hack journalist in Boston over exaggerate the killing of five people (one of them a runaway slave, so to the southerners, he didn't matter much if they knew) by Lobsterman, and called it the Boston Massacre.

Took the fence sitters that event to finally get off their "fence" and turn their backs on the last King.

"loyalist" had a whole different meaning in those days.

Regards
Pace

88. This is what scares me about these people
I fear that the greater control we, the people take back, the more danger we are in due to these nitwits who think we all need to be taught a lesson - whether they would have it done or plant the seed & incite one of their morans to follow up.

Is this the scenario these black-hearted "patriots" have in mind for us?

They have the propaganda machine in place to spin a catastrophe to fit their needs. Hell, even these words that this Republican man has spoken won't make it to the national discussion stage - but bet your bottom dollar, had a Democrat spoken those words, there would be a blown out of proportion debate on what a traitor that Democrat and the Party as a whole would be.

My first thoughts when I read this thread was how thankful I am Tim Griffin quit, because I can see his & Rove's hand right there in the thick of things. I can just see how they could have made a hero out of Griffin as US Attorney for thwarting an attack at some point. Boy, that would have perked up his all-important, ol' resume, wouldn't it? And while my mind is wandering, I wonder who they'd set up for the frame - which makes me think of the Miami Seven for some reason. What happened to them, anyway?

But since Griffin is out, they could just go ahead and save a scenario like this for their next protege they'd like to boost into national office.

It's a damn shame I, as an American citizen, have developed such a distrust of the Republican party. I remember a time when I had a healthy respect for the other side. It seems they haven't abandoned the fear card that worked so well in 2004. Giuliani is all so inspiring to the few who are still buying into it; they're hoping it'll catch on like fire. A national tragedy would surely find a way to get this "911 hero" (gag) into office.

I have a headache.

6. Kinda defeats the purpose in a manner of speaking
If there were more attacks on American soil, that would lead most to believe the underlying policies weren't working. I guess, if there were less attacks in the Middle East, and Europe, along with a real coalition of European nations behind this imperialistic cause in Iraq, then that would point to empirical evidence of success, right?

That Nagaski mentality has to go; Japan, after centuries of feudalism, laid down their samurai and decided to compete thru the financial stratosphere, did well, they did, and now hold the biggest notes on the American "feet of credit clay". Seems to me, this individual isn't salient enough in his points to run the Republican party in a junkyard; but if that's the kind of competency the Republican party wants, let them have it.

Doubtless, this kind of deductive logic will continue to contribute to their collective success in losing elections.

And undoubtably, it gives great "munchausen by proxy" sympathy to those in the Middle east who are simply disenfranchised enough to turn to criminal behaviour.

Of course, I am grateful to Bush for keeping anti abortion terrorists from blowing more women's clinics.

After all, he did jail Eric, didn't he? (sic)

Regards
Pace

8. Well, this is my response:
Dennis Milligan wants Americans to die so that Republicans can win at the polls. So did Bush. He had the intelligence reports warning of attack. He obviously knew how the attack would come because HIS ATTORNEY GENERAL STOPPED FLYING COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT BASED ON "CREDIBLE THREAT" which, obviously, threatened only the Republican leadership and not the rest of us...(I flew cross-country on American Airlines that summer...so good to the Republicans saved themselves but left me to die...but my plane wasn't one of the chosen).

I live 32 blocks from Ground Zero. I spent most of 9/11 standing on a blood line at St. Vincent's ...in bright sunlight...refusing to look at the cloud of smoke in the distance.

So far as I am concerned, Republicans sat on their hands and LET IT HAPPEN. They knew. They wanted to invade Iraq. They wanted to subvert our civil liberties with the Patriot Act. What better way for Republicans to succeed than an act of terror on American soil? Mr. Milligan has said so and I for one believe him.

24. I'm so sorry.
One of the things I wondered in the days and weeks while we wandered in shock was if any of the people who were so kind to me on American were among those lost.

I felt the same about the very young Lechter's employees in the WTC concourse who sold me a salt and pepper shaker the week before 9/11. I actually went into the Village Lechter's some weeks later and asked if they'd gotten out. They had.

I will never forgive 9/11. I blame everyone involved with putting thief Bush in office. There is nothing too bad to happen to every one of them.

He could not have planned it better himself. That, I think, is what has given rise to the conspiracy theories. That and the fact they keep repeating stuff like Milligan has.

Lessee if I understand this. We need to be attacked here in the States to prove that Bush's strategy of fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here is keeping us safe here?

23. If you want to put out a fire you don't add fire to it. And that is their strategy
How the Hell can adding fuel to a flame stop the fire.

The truth is they don't want the fire to go out. The fire is the only thing winning them elections and making them money.

there's a law that prohibits issuing such specific threats, but is there a Republiklan who cares about the law?

Threat = a person or thing that threatens.

It doesn't matter if the statement doesn't make any more sense than their usual "9/11 shows what happens when Democrats are in power" meme. They have an echo chamber that will keep repeating it until people believe it. At least that's the plan.

70. yep, we make it happen and you are allowed to study it
The aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''

94. You don't need to study very hard
You don't exactly need a PhD in Political Science to guess the narrative the Repukes are concoctong for if (when?) this attack happens: "See, children, you went running to mommy Pelosi to get her to ask those bully terrorists nicely to stop hitting you and look what happened. It's time to let daddy take charge and give those bullies what-for".

45. I nominated Milligan for Worst Person in the World, and sent KO
the info.

Milligan is just another chickenhawk cheerleader. If he really supported Bush's invasion and occupation "150%," he'd be supporting it from the front lines rather than from the cheap seats. Asshole coward extraordinaire!

47. If the USA invades more countries, we will have more attacks on the USA. GO BUSH GO.
Warmongering cheerleaders for the warmongering cheerleader, that's just what we need. :sarcasm:

Bush invaded Iraq and lied to Congress to do it. If we have "some attacks on American soil" now,
post Iraq invasion and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, how can Mr. Milligan not
blame that on Mr. Bush's actions and lies, the Bush Presidency, and American actions in Iraq.

What is required now is to cease and desist in the illegal war before the war results in the now
very-possible consequences that were portrayed in the lead up to the war. What Bush and Cheney
have accomplished is to create the situation they said existed before the war, a very real threat.

Most likely a big one too, more than likely they will nuke LA or better yet San Francisco to get rid of dem thar homogaysexuals.

and sadly the American public will fall for it just like they did 9/11.

60. This quote needs to be publicized
In a nutshell, it shows how Republicans value their party over this country and over the lives and safety of our citizens, as well as needing to use terror and fear to get Americans on their side.
Too bad the mainstream media is too busy covering Paris Hilton's jail sentence these days.

81. if a Democrat had said this, it would get plenty of publicicity
a memo would go out to RW radio, they'd be all over it, it would of course pass into the mainstream media, and this would be a huge huge story.

The name of the local dem would be a household name nationally in no time, and every dem presidential candidate would be asked about it and be required to respod and distance themselves.

But since it's a republican, it will be ignored.

(a RW radio host, Mike Gallagher, said (and even wrote) the same thing a little while ago, and no one noticed.)

65. Bush would appreciate an attack to try his National Security Presidential Directive NSPD 51 out
With scarcely a mention in the mainstream media, President Bush has ordered up a plan for responding to a catastrophic attack. Under that plan, he entrusts himself with leading the entire federal government, not just the Executive Branch. And he gives himself the responsibility "for ensuring constitutional government. He laid this all out in a document entitled National Security Presidential Directive NSPD 51 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-20.

So LITHHOP or MITHOP? If they didn't make it they used it like they did. I don't trust them not to allow something else to happen just so they can use it again. And now that Bush has his emergency, *The Executive Branch Takes All* card if there is a National Emergency, look out. He's been practicing to be the dictator for 6 years. Hold on, folks.

After all he did have the courage to say out loud what every idiot that still supports Bush is thinking.

You got to wonder though, I mean, even if America was attacked, wouldn't that be proof that Bush's plan wasn't working? I mean, just a thought, but saying that you hope America gets attacked again to prove Bush is good at fighting terrorism is like saying you hope your car breaks down to prove you're a great mechanic.

Oh well, me and my logic. This is America under Republican rule. Logic don't live here no more.

Yup, they can publish websites, make stupid statements during interviews, threaten to double GITMO, joke about bombing Iran, stage war games off the coast of Iran, steal billions of dollars and what happens? Nothing, Nada, Big Fat ZIPPO!

We the Sheeple...

"We hold these lies to be self-evident, that all corporations are created equal, that they are endowed by lobbyist, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are power, suffering of the people, and the pursuit of Money.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among and paid for by the lobbyist, deriving their just powers from the corporations, That whenever the sheeple become destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the Corporation to squash them underfoot and let them wither and fucking die, the Sheeple are to sit back and take their lumps like the good consumers they are, laying down their principles, and organizing shopping list and soccer matches so that they can pretend to be Safe and Happy."

I hope and pray that the next leader actually leads...it is all we have left.

Peace.

83. GOP logic revealed:
If no attacks occur on our soil, it's because Bush is doing such a great job protecting us.
If we ARE attacked, it validates what Bush has been doing and should rally the country to him.

Looks like they've got the bases covered, alright.
Does anyone besides the brain-dead GOP base actually swallow this crap?

84. More magic GOP Logic:
You can hear this from various GOP talking heads ....

A reduction in deaths and attacks in Iraq would mean the surge is working. Becuase we are gaining control.
-- and --
An increase in deaths and attacks in Iraq would mean the surge is working. Becuase the terrorists are becoming more desperate.

Another one ...

The American people want us to get out of Iraq. Bush says he does too, when we win. The American people also want to win. Therefore the American people agree with Bush that we should stay until we win.

Magic Logic.

107. Of course! Since another terrorist attack would SURELY make me realize
how much safer we are under Bush, and how competent and bold he is in fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here! Why, I would clutch my dead family members to my breast and shout 'Thank God George W. Bush is our president!' And when I bleed to death with shrapnel imbedded in my brain, my blood will soak into the ground because FREEDOM IS ON THE MARCH. And after my death, president Bush will boldly pledge to send our troops to some country that had nothing to do with the terrorist attack, and that will make perfect sense because...uh...
Because he's our president!
Uh...
Yes, oh yes! I want to die in a terrorist attack so I can TRULY appreciate how great Bush is!

with the inevitable Democratic Presidential victory in 08.

that tired, old worn out phrase.."at the end of the day" should just be taken out and taught some brand new fresh words.

And anyone who says we, "We need more 'attacks on American soil' so people appreciate the retarded monkey"..er, I mean bush needs to get his ass to Iraq and fight them over there. I don't care how old he is. Put his money where his mouth is.

The big fallacy in his premise is ..for one thing, bush and condi et al were in charge on 9/11/01 and they didn't stop it then and they LIED to get us into Iraq and are creating MORE TERRORISTS IN THE WORLD NOT LESS.

How stupid do you have to be to belch out this fascist dribble?
