Saddam is to blame for Iraq. But leftists have no problem with people like Saddam. Now Osama is picking up liberal support in the US since he's using F911 themes. Bill Maher read some of Osama's recent speech and it got applause from his liberal audience. Of course, Osama's speech sounded like some of your own posts here on SI, Sprit. Excerpts from Adam Yoshida's blog: Bin Laden manages to touch upon: -The “Bush lied” or “Bush misleads” theme (“Bush is still practicing distortion and misleading on you”). -The links between the Bush family and various Arab nations (“Both parties are arrogant and stubborn and the greediness and taking money without right and that similarity appeared during the visits of Bush to the region while people from our side were impressed by the US and hoped that these visits would influence our countries. Here he is being influenced by these regimes, Royal and military.”). -The USA PATRIOT Act (“So he transferred the oppression of freedom and tyranny to his son and they call it the Patriot Law to fight terrorism.”). -The 2000 Florida Recount (“He didn't forget to transfer his experience from the rulers of our region to Florida to falsify elections to benefit from it in critical times.”). -“My Pet Goat” (“the girl telling him about her goat butting was more important than paying attention to airplanes butting the towers.”). Seriously, this guy could be cutting thirty second spots for MoveOn.org. Before I move on, I’ll note one other thing: there’s not one bit of rhetoric in there that you couldn’t have absorbed from a viewing of Fahrenheit 9/11. ..... The really concerning thing is just how this demonstrates how sick the American political scene has become. A man whose words are cheerfully lifted and easily used in enemy propaganda is given awards and allowed to sit alongside a former President of the United States at the convention of one of our nation’s great political parties. ...... The moral relativism of the left has now assumed all-encompassing proportions. The situation is not good. The left is now working, quite literally, hand-in-hand with the enemies of our Republic to take down this President. If the enemies of the United States can be conscripted into an election campaign, they’ll do it. If they can write material which can be gleefully consumed and used by our enemies: they’ll do it. This is probably the second most important election in the history of the United States (the only election of comparable importance I can think of is that of 1864). The choice now is narrowed down to one between victory and surrender, honor and dishonor. The Americans of 1864 were offered, as we are now, a choice between the promise of an easy peace and a hard but just war. They made the right decision. We owe it to ten generations who fought, sacrificed, and died for their country to make the same. The candidate of Osama Bin Laden cannot be elected President. We cannot fail. Were we to ever do so the Earth would shudder with the screams and howls of a million American boys who fell in battle crying out in mourning, from beneath their white stars and crosses, for the fate of the country for which they gave so much and of which they asked so little. ..... It’s just not safe to vote for Democrats anymore. There used to be patriotic Democrats: good men like Hubert Humphrey, Lyndon Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Harry Truman: but they’re mostly all dead or Republicans these days.
