Brumar89's reaction to OBL's latest was so on-target imo that I will quote it here:
Wow, he has almost all the leftwing talking points in there - global warming, Kyoto, globalization, the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, evil plotting neocons, Democrats elected to stop the war, 650K Iraqis killed by America (he forgot to echo Rosie by asking "who are the terrorists?"), wars based on deception and lies, Hiroshima, he plugs Chomsky and Scheuer, ultimately he blames the capitalist system, he's up to date - mentioning the interest related debts and mortgages ....
The islamists h/b studying the west and recognize their allies. He's appealing to leftists and explicitly asking them to convert to Islam.
Course, he still gives credit for 911 to his Islamic martyrs - except for that its straight leftism.
How will the left react to Osama preaching from their text?
Seems a far simpler and more complete explanation than some convoluted appeal to reverse psychology. How would you answer Brumar89's question? |
