Zawahiri Hires Amanda Marcotte

Okay, maybe it wasn't Marcotte, just one of the unidentified KosKidz. The guy certainly seems to be reading the Left wing blogs.

The latest taped statement from al Qaeda is an unusually personal attack on President Bush, in which al Qaeda's No. 2 in command, Ayman al Zawahiri, denounces Bush as "an alcoholic, liar and gambler with an addictive personality."

Rusty has video and transcripts of Zawahiri's latest message. I'm waiting for a better translation to see if he actually announced for President on the Democrat ticket. His Q score with the Left will be through the roof after this.

Meanwhile, Jules links the latest on Iran. For a minute there I thought I remembered a time when it was an act of war to facilitate attcks on our troops, but it must have been a dream.

Update: Nate Beeler has a new cartoon up at The Examiner re Iran.

What an idiotic premise that Riehl lifted from the second comment on the ABC blog.

"On the tape, Zawahiri also condemns American Democrats 'as one side of the same coin of tyranny, criminality and failure' for failing to challenge Bush policies as they said they would in the election."

Yes, liberal bloggers tend to always associate themselves as the other side of the Bush coin. Try reading and thinking critically from time to time Riehl; I promise it doesn't hurt too much.

[Dan Riehl]

"On the tape, Zawahiri also condemns American Democrats"

You mean the way the looney Left condemns the Dems who won't pull out of Iraq immediately?

Really, you make it too easy for me.

And yet one more "speshul" athlete from the Left's IQ olympics goes down - thud!

[Legalize]

Read, genius - all the words, not just the small ones. The "loony left" doesn't use the words "tyranny," "criminality," or "failure" when referring to the Democratic party; these words are associated for you and your ilk. The fact that you do not see the difference between being critical of the policies of one's party on a national level, and associating one's party with THE SAME evil and incompetence embodied by yourself and the Bush administration, is your own fault.

[Darth Malice]

The Dems better get crakin....their ally is telling them to get a move on.

Wow, those right wing nutjobs are taking advice from terrorists now? How pathetic for them that they think what terrorists say helps them, but what can you expect from a group with a combined IQ in single digits?

The interesting thing here is not the similarity between two statements made by very disparate parties (after all, al Qaeda is a far-right, conservative organization). The interesting thing is the content of the statements. We know Bush is an admitted alcoholic and a documented liar. But a gambler! Just when we thought Bush's existence could not get more pathetic. I wonder what Zawahiri knows. I bet he got the information from his and Bush's mutual friends, the bin Ladens. Did they learn something when they were in the Carlyle Group together? Or maybe Bush bets on the over/under on the amount of people he kills every day through his hubris, stubborness, and incompetence. It probably makes the time pass during those boring meetings.

[johanna]

bush has always been a liar and an alcoholic, Zawahari speaks the god forsaken truth! read it and weep, georgie boy at 30% approval rating!!!

[JP]

This is one of the dumbest blogs in right blogostan. Consistently incoherent.

[Derek Jeter]

And the "civility" of the right wing blogs shines through again....

[w3]

Me so smart, me push Post button three times.

[Legalize]

I actually didn't know that Bush had a gambling problem. I thought he was just stoned when he ruined the Texas Rangers.

p.s. I love how the wingers use cartoons to illustrate their "points." Considering that their "thinking" is about as sophisticated as Daffy Duck's, this is highly appropriate.

[aLiberal]

The fact that 70% of Americans oppose Bush, and the terrorists also oppose Bush, does not mean that 70% of Americans either are, or are supporting, terrorists. your tired old act about democrats supporting the terrorists, is both old, rejected by almost everyone, and excruciatingly annoying.

which groups did the supposed weapons form iran go to in iraq? did we support some of them? if so, does that mean we support people who kill the troops? therefore, bush supports terrorists, and those of you who support bush, also support terrorists. you should be ashamed of yourselves. terrorists sympathizeing bush supporters. disgusting. just when i thought you all couldn't be any worse.

oh, look at this- general Pace will not go on record saying an Iranian cabal is behind all evil against our troops. in addition, aren't the other right-wing bloigs reporting on the iranian to iraqi guns being manufactured in austria? whey don;t we invade austria? and isn;t saudi arabia also providing weapposn rto some fo the warrig faction, who doubtlessly are also taking pot shots at the troops? whey don;t we bomb/invade saudi arabia, whose citizens, after all, were the majority of the 9-11 hijackers?

and say we did attack iran- what then? how would that improve things?

disgusting. truly disgusting brainless support of violence. that's all bush supporters are now. brainless supporters of senseless violence. i hope you will all feel better soon. why don't you find a child to beat, or something. won't exerting your power feel good?

[JP]

Damn, that was some smackdown.

Let me pile on by saying that other right wing blogs such as Ace of Spades, Powerline etc., while consistently wrong, are written above a 4th grade level. This one is just idiotic.

[Darth Malice]

The American people are sheep anyway.....God we need Patton right now!

[MyPetGloat]

THE LEFT (tm) does not need Zawahiri's remarks to know Bush is an asshole. Just look at the people who are still backing Bush. Thats all the proof you need.

[Legalize]

"The American people are sheep anyway.....God we need Patton right now!"

Yet again, when faced with the failure and utter rejection of their substantive arguments, the radical right responds with: "well, what this country needs is more fascism," because the American people are "st00pid."

No, what this country needs is a new crop of honest and competent political figures to make sure that we avoid the easy answers emodied by irrational and unhelpful militarism, paranoia, and impotent revenge fantasies. Thankfully, Darth Malice is not, and never will be, in any position of authority.

Even if I were for a second to entertain the concept of a human soul, and considering it's a safe bet that DICK cheney would never possess even a scintilla of one nor know what to do with it, there is the possibility that at one time perhaps Lil' Georgie might have enjoyed the odd remnant of a human soul, hell, he might have at one time even had the potential to be an artist. But depending on how lucky you are in life, you never know how other people are going to react, especially when your mama is Babbs the Impaler. I’ve known this depressing little gem for too many years, ever since my finger painting took an unconventional turn toward the avant-garde, expressionist mien in second grade Mrs. Goodwin’s art class, and then, instead of proclaiming me a young prodigy or an artiste or, at the very least, a mildly precocious little shit, my parents sent you to see that odd child therapist with the dandruff that fell of in large snowflake chunks and whose office was always freezing cold and smelled like mothballs, dog hair and urine. There, the therapist would ask me to play with his toys (?????), hoping I’d reenact some violent or perverse quarrel that would shed a pen light of reason on my irrational home life, but instead all I'd do is stare at the weird exotic patterns in his carpet, making my eyes focus and unfocus, and kick my Buster Browns against the leather couch in a way that seemed to make the therapist uncomfortable.
Maybe at one time Lil' Georgie could have been an artist, but the powers that be (Babs, or nuns perhaps?) taught him to be a sociopath instead, to sublimate all his (alleged) good, pure talents and creative urges into repressed, disturbing, vaguely antisocial behaviors, behaviors more appropriate to his future life in a fraudulent and distorted corporate setting as it was ordained to be. Not only was he abandoned in La Habra, he was forced to take his raw intelligence and originality (such as it was - no evidence to point to as of yet) and force it into the confines of Bab's sinister social expectations, reducing his passions to passive-aggressive manipulations, violent irrational protestations, and deeply irritating tics, but also some small, beautiful part of him (some would say the only good part of him, if it in fact existed) died a fast, painful death. Eventually, his brilliant finger painting breakthroughs lost all its originality and freedom and boundary-pushing explosiveness, and began to resemble more closely the mediocre scribbling of his dim-witted peers.

[ME]

Let's not forget that radical islam is a CONSERVATIVE ideology. We are fighting the right-wing of the muslim world.

You, Riehl, are closer in ideology to america's enemies than we, the left.

Look at Dinesh D'Souza's book, where he openly argues that terrorists hate america for it's leftist tendencies. Why do you appease terrorists by being socially conservative? Why do you give them comfort? Using your own logic, it must be because you are a traitor.

[aLiberal]

ah yes, this report from cnn:

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/12/sciri-iran/

it appears that the iranians are providing arms to shiites who are supported by the us. therefore, bush supports terrorists who are attacking the troops.

I am absolutely fed up, FED UP, with the lies. enough.

[Purple Avenger]

"it appears that the iranians are providing arms to shiites"

What just a minute. Not 24 hours ago another leftist moron commenting on this blog claimed there was no such evidence at all.

Seriously, you guys need to coordinate your spin so the message doesn't conflict.

[Howie]

ER uh...I'm not Rusty

[Legalize]

"What just a minute. Not 24 hours ago another leftist moron commenting on this blog claimed there was no such evidence at all.

No, the point just went whooshing above your head at an incredible rate of speed.

[scarshapedstar]

Why don't you guys ever refer to the rest of us as 72-percenters?

[templar knight]

Because 72-percenters just think they are, as 72% of Americans are not mushroom drinking, pot smoking dopehead liberals from the ghetto and barrio, don't impregnate their sisters, know the difference between right and wrong, and have more than half a brain.

I took a poll today, and found that only about 2% of Americans identify with the looney Left. So there, scar...uh, I mean 2 percenter!

[trrll]

So if a terrorist tells us that the sky is blue, does that put meteorologists in league with the terrorists?

[BobInStamford]

"Because 72-percenters just think they are, as 72% of Americans are not mushroom drinking, pot smoking dopehead liberals from the ghetto and barrio, don't impregnate their sisters, know the difference between right and wrong, and have more than half a brain."

Ok, that made NO SENSE yet again. Happy hour must have come early for you bigshot oilmen. Hahaha.

[templar knight]

Bob, where are your sock puppets? You're going to need some help. They'll show up shortly, I presume. Meanwhile, you admit plain English makes no sense to you; I was pretty sure that was always the case with you, Bobby.

[James]

What a worthless thing to say.

It's common knowledge around the world. Nothing new.

Tell us something we don't know; like; where is Bin Laden hiding.

[templar knight]

James, I'm pretty sure Bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan. Any serious suggestions on how to get him out of there.

[w3]

72% of Americans seek validation of their political views in public opinion polls according to results of a recent poll. When asked how the results of this poll made them feel, 72% of Americans responded, "Validated."

[jvf]

Validated is what anyone who back in 2003 predicted the world of shite we're currently in, in Iraq, feels.
in other words, anyone able to think about potential consequences of their actions.

I didn't believe the crap they were peddling about WMD and supposed links to Al Qaeda then. It didn't pass the smell test.

Anyone who with half a brain could have predicted this mess.

Anybody who still supports it is a dead ender and a moron.

[Donnie McDaniel]

Ayman al Zawahiri, Bush, Cheney, Rove, Osama, Dan Riehl, Darth Malice, Malkin, Templar Knight, etc. They all have brain damage in common!

[templar knight]

I wonder it you believed the links to al-Queda in 1999 when the Clinton Administration was peddling them. Seems a pertinent question that demands an honest answer. Ha, as John Wayne used to say, "That'll be the day".

[w3]

Abdul. Rahman. Yasin.

[templar knight]

I see another one of Rob's sock puppets has shown up, right on cue. But Rob should come up with a better name than Donnie McDaniel. That's just too easy to spot.

[jvf]

hey Templar,

I thought Clinton was guilty of neglecting terrorist threats - get your story straight.

And anyway, when are you all going to stop whining about the Clinton administration. It's 2007
and this is Bush-Cheney's war.

[w3]

It would still be neglect to peddle a threat you refuse to face. We're the US, not the UN. You avoid the question, though, and ignore the facts: Bush didn't invent a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda.

[Carl Gordon]

My friends, this whole process is going to be a piece of cake with carpet tacks substituted for raisins. Yea, I heard the cock crow, the mermaid sing, and the fat man chuckle as Cheney and his fisting partner set off on yet another adventure in search of the fabled black bird. The stuff dreams are made of? Or take your dreams and get stuffed? I guess it’s just as confusing for them (and you 23%r's or whatever the percentage of allowable moose lips is now) on the other side of the eight ball as well. I suppose Mr. Hawking and you people out there that never fell for the half-baked scam never took DICK's lie dream of the casino soul scene seriously, so we're left right where we originally started, telling the assembled fools repaetedly that no one, I mean NO ONE ever wins at three card Cheney. Save your pennies for your eyes and eye/wheel hit this subject betwixt the nose, nostrils held thusly! Send lawyers, guns, and money! IF going by the smell, it's gonna be a long time before we clean up the Republican's brown out!

No apparent purpose.

[templar knight]

Who's whining? Like I said, "That'll be the day" when I get an honest answer from these sock puppets of Rob.

And Carl, if one knew what the hell you just said, one might respond. Try it in English next time.

[Donnie McDaniel]

Nice try fuckstick! I'm not a sock puppet. And I don't know the other person you speak of. I do know of Darth Malice though. He used to be my favorite troll. Ain't that right Darth? He who refuses to let his kid enlist in the military to go to Iraq. Remember that one Darth? What? You guys did not know about that one? Darth says he supports the war but will never let his kid enlist now. I need to go and look up the links to that conversation. He got called out for his hypocritical comment by this former Marine. Ring any bells Darth old pal?

[Carl Gordon]

Hey Temp-lard

I would make things more clear to you and other pinheads for bush but why waste my time or oxygen trying to dumb down enough for below 75 I.Q. set. I really don't know what to do: Listen to you or crap in your hat and see what fills up quicker! I guess all that glue sniffing wasn't such a great idea.

[templar knight]

Carl, I realize English is your second language, and that you are really trying, so I'm going to make a suggestion. Because I haven't done my good deed for the day. Every community has an Adult Education Center. If your abilities allow, look in the phone directory, call your local center, and start ASAP.

If that is too much for you, then go down to the welfare office, where you are well known, and ask someone there. They will point you in the right direction. Good luck!

[James]

>I'm pretty sure Bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan. Any serious suggestions on how to get him out of there.

Ask Zawahiri.

Who knows, we may get an answer.

No one would like my idea. It involves a Starcruiser's main weapon system.

Although I probably would settle for troops griding off sections of Pakistan.

Pakistan won't mind. Their our ally. Cough.

Oh heck, Just ask the Mob. They'd get him. The Mob can get anyone.

[Rob Kaufman]

I would like to publically apologize to templar knight, it is not your fault your parents were first cousins. You are doing quite well considering the burden you have had to overcome. I will try my best to not make fun of your lunacy in the future.

[templar knight]

Here I am, trying to help a man further himself with more education, and what do I get? More insults. You're a cruel man, Rob, trying to prevent one of your fellow liberal travelers from improving himself. And here you liberals were claiming to want everyone to have a better education. But then you claim to be for the working man, also, yet you slam them every chance you get. Rob...Rob...you should be ashamed.
