The Republicans in the House keep referring to things the terrorists have said

[AndyA]

in press releases. What is this attraction with quoting the enemy? Is it because that's the only way they can prove their point, to side with the enemy? It's very strange, several of them have done it over the past few days, and it's always been a GOPer, I've never heard a Dem give credit or credibility to the enemy by quoting them.

[malaise]

1. They have some nerve

sending other people's children to die without adequate protection or training. I wish someone would get up and ask them if they'd fly in an aircraft with missing parts and with a pilot who hasn't completed his/her training. Fugg them - they'll lose the vote.

Sp; add.

[Klukie]

They do it to induce fear.

[Skidmore]

2. I was just getting ready to post noting that, and the fact that they've

taken to quoting Democratic presidents and are becoming really shrill over the last few speakers. I think they are trying to ratchet it up to a fine froth before the debate ends.

[Klukie]

6. You are right about the froth......

and I think their word for the day is "Slow-bleed"

[Skidmore]

11. I think you are correct. They certainly roll that one out slowly,

enunciating every syllablle.

[louis-t]

12. And mis-quoting Republic presidents. n/t

[NewJeffCT]

3. One of Bush's justifications for staying in Iraq was

was because Osama bin Laden had supposedly said that Iraq is the central front in Al Qaeda's war.

Now think about that... Osama bin Laden is dictating our foreign policy. What if Osama had said that they were giving up on Iraq to concentrate on overthrowing the Saudi royal family?

[BuyingThyme]

4. How do they know they're not spreading code?

Code which instructs the 10,000 sleeper cells to attack immediately?!

This is treason, I'm telling you! Treason!

[niyad]

5. just as a matter of curiousity, has anyone seen these "press releases"? I mean anybody

credible, and is there any proof, should they exist, that they aren't a psy-ops from the nuts in this maladministration?

[Beelzebud]

7. They love al-quaeda's philosophy. Kill liberals, theocracize the nation.

[librechik]

8. they are the terrorist party. Obviously.

Their accusations against us are mere projection.

Besides, their position is illogical and they can't argue FOR it. Therefore, all they can do is attack us.

[tulsakatz]

9. they just want to be sure....

..that people are still scared enough. What better way to instill fear than to quote a terrorist?

[izzybeans]

10. It's like children who are afraid of the dark. They just know the boogeyman is under the bed.

They just know it. "don't make me go to bed with the lights off daddy."

That's what they sound like to me.

[EC]

13. Republicans don't tend to know that the terrorists

are goading them on...trying to break our bank and military like they did with Russia...



They'll fall for it everytime....

[Tin Man]

15. oops, I missed. See #14 below

[Tin Man]

14. The Pubs and the Terrorists have a symbiotic relationship

Silly Pubs don't even recognize it, but they're doing the Terrorist's bidding.

[Beer Snob-50]

16. Part of the master plan

refer to the terrorist as much as you can and
refer to the fact that Iraq is the center of the war on terror when as we all know Iraq has zero to do with terrorist.

[treestar]

17. If a Democrat did that it would be "emboldening the enemy."

such hypocrites.

[supernova]

18. Conservative authoritarian types are overly concerned with others'

opinions of them, even enemy opinions, so it's not surprising that they are overly obsessed with the rantings of the AQ network. And because they are, they think us liberals should be as well.
