Liberalism Kills People

ORDINARY PEOPLE. LIKE YOU.
Ann Coulter has a great piece on The Real Willie Horton Story, the radical insanity of how the Massachusetts Supreme Court, Gov. Dukakis and Lt. Gov. Kerry let cold-blooded killers out on weekend party passes with predictable results. Because, you know, the state constitution John Adams wrote demanded it.
– Horton, who was later released under this program, was in prison for carving up a teenager at a gas station and then stuffing his body into a garbage can. (He had already been convicted of attempted murder in South Carolina — through no fault of his own, the victim survived.)
– Even after Horton used his Dukakis-granted furlough to rape and torture a Maryland couple in their home for 12 straight hours, the Greek homunculus issued a statement reaffirming his strong support for furloughing murderers.
Coulter only mentions it because, in hopes of bashing Obama critics, Matthews and Olbermann are running with it, regurgitating the tired, old lefty whine; it was unfair of Bush Sr. to mention the case because Horton was black.
Facts are racist things. Even back then, B.O. (I won’t even go into how Keef n’ Chrissy are showing doctored footage of the Horton ad. I think we should hold them to their own standard: we should assume their films are doctored, their quotes invented and their documents forged until proven otherwise.)
Nevermind the victims. Nevermind the astonishing lapse of judgement and moral retardation. Nevermind the raping. Nevermind the torture. Nevermind the murder and attempted murder. No, according to liberals, the problem with the Willie Horton case was…it was unfair to Mike Dukakis! Unfair? Yeah-the Massachsetts Supreme Court should have charged him as an accessory before the fact, and then gone to jail with him.
But now we’re facing Willie Horton Nation.
Prosecutor Andy McCarthy:
If Guantanamo Bay is closed, scores of trained jihadists, committed to killing Americans, will be released to dwell among us: It is that simple.
Pres. Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder contend that America’s civilian federal prisons are secure. Our “supermaxes,” they insist, are up to the task of confining the most lethal terrorists. Even if that were true (and history shows it is not), the argument is the most hollow of strawmen. These terrorists are not going to escape — they are going to walk right out the prison gates. They are going to be freed by a perverse new legal system, an ad hoc creation of progressive federal judges, assisted mightily by an Obama Justice Department rife with lawyers whose former firms and institutions spent the last eight years representing America’s enemies. [...]
Because we still have Gitmo, at least Mutairi was outside the United States. When the judge voided his combatant status and the Justice Department declined to challenge the ruling, Kollar-Kotelly was in no position to force Mutairi’s release inside our country. He either had to go home to Kuwait or bide his time, like the Uighur detainees, until a country willing to take him was found.
Rest assured that this will not happen if the detainees are transferred to U.S. prisons, so that Gitmo can be shuttered. Once they are here, we will have the perfect storm: Federal judges, inherently hostile to detention without trial, running amok with no guidance from Congress, no political accountability, and no jury to check their excesses; combatant-designations judicially voided for scores of trained jihadists no trustworthy country is willing to take in; and a combatant-friendly Justice Department unwilling to challenge the judicial usurpation of the military’s war-fighting powers. Inexorably, the judges will order that the detainees be released in the United States. One judge already tried to do that with the Uighurs, even though they were outside the United States and had no legal right to enter.
For the judges, the hard part was wresting from the executive branch the power to decide who is an enemy combatant. With that accomplished, ordering their release will be easy. And once the Obama administration brings the combatants into the United States, it will be done — bank on it.
UPDATE: 1st Guantanamo detainee arrives in U.S.
Mr. Ghailani was indicted in 1998 for the al-Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, attacks which killed more than 224 people, including 12 Americans. …After the Aug. 7, 1998, bombings at U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Mr. Ghailani worked for al-Qaeda as a document forger, trainer at a terror camp and bodyguard to bin Laden, according to military prosecutors.
“Document forger”? Have you considered a job as a news anchor?
Weasle Zippers has more, including a RACIST!-photograph, which is to say, a photograph:
“You are authorized and directed not </u<to seek the death penalty against Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani,” Mr. Holder wrote to Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Mr. Ghailani faces federal charges of conspiring in the 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, attacks that were organized by Al Qaeda and killed 224 people and wounded thousands.
But he was “a victim of the cruel ‘enhanced interrogation techniques,’” and was “never afforded the right to remain silent nor the right to have an attorney”, so let’s just call it a wash and move on, shall we?
If Keith Olbermann went off of his industrial-strength Viagra, lost the rest of his mind and went on a spree that wounded thousands of Africans and slaughtered hundreds more, in order to murder a dozen Americans including diplomats and Marines, wouldn’t he get the Death Penalty? Wouldn’t Chris want to take him to a James Bond movie?
I mean, after they finished watching “Astro Boy” together?
They’re already giving these killers more “rights” than Americans. And they’re just getting started. This could be the issue that finally kills the Democrat Party.
But if it did, liberals would demand that the issue be let out of prison on a weekend party pass.
