FWIW, Repubs Cannnot Say That Obama Is Soft on Terrorism

[Yavin4]

SANA, Yemen — Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical American-born cleric who was a leading figure in Al Qaeda’s Yemen affiliate and was considered its most dangerous English-speaking propagandist, was killed in an American drone strike that deliberately targeted his vehicle on Friday, officials in Washington and Yemen said. They said the strike also killed a radical American colleague traveling with Mr. Awlaki who edited Al Qaeda’s online jihadist magazine.

1. Yup.

[phantom power]

2. Of course they can. And they will.

I wish people, including Democratic politicians, would stop making the error that the GOP argues in good faith, or even argues using facts as we know them.

3. Oh yes they can, they just have no credibility when they do.

4. T.S., Anwar ... eom

5. Facts never stopped them before.

They'll say he's soft on terror, and they'll say he's a terrorist. The teafuckers will cheer and the media will happily amplify the bullshit without question.

6. You're Probably Right. Even if He Carried OBL's Severed Head with Him to the Debates

The Repubs would give Cheney the credit.

7. They'll project their failures onto him as per norm, and

the MSM will try to overlook it as best they can.
