The Republicans are out there today ripping at their clothes and tearing their hair

[eleny]

The hyperbole is pretty wild. Kit Bond was just on MSNBC spreading his "DISASTER" meme with the help of Andrea Mitchell.

Good thing Holder rolled out the decision on a Friday. People have other things to pay attention to over the weekend.

1. In that case, I have some sharp tools they can have. nt

[zippy890]

2. i guess the terrorists have won.

if people are so SCARED to have them tried in New York
how did we become such a nation of cowards?

[eleny]

4. The Repukes have a lot of work to do since we evidently aren't scared enough

The administration must feel that the majority are ready to survive a trial.

I think the trials and probable convictions will bring some real soul calming closure for Americans - which is dangerous for conservatives.

[zippy890]

7. 'will bring some real soul calming closure for Americans'

well put- I think so too.

[MUAD_DIB]

8. Exactly.

Do the GOPygs remember teh history? Nuremberg trials?

One would think that they would want to bring these guys to justice.

:eyes:

[eleny]

9. Makes me ask what they're afraid will come out during the trials

Or is this just another case of, "Whatever it is, I'm against it!"?

[abelenkpe]

3. good

Maybe they'll be distracted with this long enough for the senate to pass health care reform with a strong public option minus the stupid stupak admendment.

[tyne]

5. I wonder if they're aware

that we've tried 195 terrorist in civilian courts since 911. Didn't hear a chirp over the years.

[MUAD_DIB]

6. I thought they liked to call/pronounce it "HyperBowl."

[eleny]

10. LOL!

[Arkana]

19. Is that like an amped-up version of the Super Bowl?

[smalll]

23. The "hyperbowl" is the Super Bowl of France. /nt

[Aramchek]

24. Boehner sure does.

[Thrill]

11. I think they believe the show 24 is real.

The guy is going to escape from police and blow things. And only Jack Bauer will be able to save us:scared:

[eleny]

12. I think Obama knows that this will be golden for the Dems

And it's a DISASTER for the right wing.

[Clio the Leo]

13. I dont understand what their fear is......

..... are they afraid of violence DIRECTLY from these prisoners or are they worried about violent acts done by those who support the prisoners?

[eleny]

14. I believe they fear that the prosecutors will succeed

Even Mayor Bloomberg says NYC is ready for this. So it's all manufactured fear and outrage, imo.

[Clio the Leo]

15. I'm watching this goober on Tweety's show.....

.... saying we're disgracing the memories of those lost on 9/11 by bringing these prisoners back to NY.

Did he think we were disgracing the memories of those killed by the DC sniper when we brought him back to VA to execute him?

Not likely.

[wiggs]

16. They are afraid that giving them trials means they are human beings. nt

[HopeOverFear]

21. DING DING DING

[Arkana]

17. I love it. They're shitting themselves because we're trying a terrorist

in a civilian court. Never mind that it's been done before--we CAN'T DO IT NOW BECAUSE THE AMURKIN PEOPLE CAIN'T HANDLE IT!

[ShortnFiery]

18. Don't get too cocky of the GOP. Our Blue Dogs and DLC are presently ripping our party apart

from the inside-out. Don't consider that the 2010 elections are "a given" for our democratic representatives. 2012? I have to admit, if I had to vote all over again, I'd select HRC. Even though she's presently "a war hawk" for increased troops in Afghanistan, I KNOW she'd either get the job done or PROMPTLY pull our troops out. This damn "pragmatism" of Obama is driving me away from voting for him. I'm disgusted in his LACK of leadership. He's screwing up ... and the signs are everywhere if ONLY Rahm would allow him out of his bubble. :(

[Obamacare]

20. lol

ShortnFiery is a troll!!

[Ikonoklast]

22. You're becoming a parody of yourself.

What, exactly, does this have to do with trying suspected terrorists in NYC?

And you know exactly what HRC would have done as CIC? Really?

And do you think Rahm wouldn't have been part of a Clinton team? REALLY?

Every post you make is a an Obama bash...we get it, you hate him.

'Lack of leadership' is a right-wing talking point, but I am sure you already knew that.

[Vinca]

25. I swear if the terrorists are convicted and executed,

the GOP will bitch about American taxpayer money being used to fund the electricity.
