Terrorism – The Left’s Spectrum of Responses, From Irrational to Idiotic
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:29 am by CrankyThis weekend’s Keystone Kops terror bungle in Glasgow brought the War on Terror debate back to the forefront.
With it, came the the Moonbats riding on the waves of Bush Derangement Dementia and other assorted lefty platitudes.
For your reading enjoyment, here is a cross section of comments from Crooks and Liars. The predictablility is eerie. It’s like you’re walking through some sort of Human Behind the Glass exhibit in a Rod Serling show.
Exhibit A: Bad Corporations colluding with the Bush Regime.
Exhibit B: I’m so pissed that I can’t think straight. Better just blame NeoKKKons
Seems to me that unlike Bush and his gang of merry dwarfs, terrorists are indeed capable of walking AND chewing gum at the same time. I’m sure this will give the knuckle draggers something to squawk about tonight.
I’m still waiting for that loser at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to tell me how scared I’m supposed to be.
(Read: terrorists exist and they do strike where they’re not supposed to. Bush totally f’d up. Now Bush is going to tell us that terrorism is real. What a tool.)
Exhibit C: My personal favorite – The government is fearmongering about terrorism and has the gall to do nothing about terrorism!
The UK government did not DO anything to prevent this attack, or the two duds of yesterday, because they didn’t KNOW anything about it. This is not the work of al Qaeda, or professional terrorists; this is a group of not very capable wannabees. No better and no worse than ordinary criminals.
But when I fly out of Heathrow in a fortnight’s time, I’m sure I’ll be subjected to even more ’security’ related frustration and pettiness – must remember to put the nail file in with the check-through, forget about packing shampoo; that’ll just get stomped on and leak all over the bag. Oh, and take the squashy carry-on bag rather than my nice wheeled set, because a squashy bag is more likely to fit into whatever oddball sized measuring box that my nice wheeled set was just a shade too wide to fit into last time I flew to Paris… thus had to be checked through… where it was lost for five days, with all my medication inside.
I can remember when flying was a pleasure – I hate it now. With a passion. And I don’t blame a group of inept, misguided fanatics trying to build car bombs following instructions in ‘Car Bombs For Idiots’ guidebooks, either. I blame the inept, misguided fanatics in governments who think they can fool people into believing they’ll be ’safe’ if we make everyone drink baby formulae, take off their shoes and confiscate hand lotion, and the inept, misguided fanatics in the media who support them. On both sides of the pond.
(Bonus points, the doesn’t actually blame terrorists for terrorism!)
And, of course, Exhibit D. The inevitable “I Question The Timing”. Because wingnuts actually pull ALL the strings behind the scenes to manipulate the Great Unwashed Masses.
It couldn’t be any more fucking obvious. The timing is just a little to perfect. The Bush administration knows that Blair was outed because of his involvement with Iraq and now they’re hoping that Brown will get suckered by this shit.
Damn, and we would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for this meddling kid!

Cranky, thanks for wading through the sewage that is Crooks and Liars…so that we don’t have to.
Don’t forget to hose yourself off before you come back.

There wouldn’t be any terrorism if every english-speaking white male would just kill themselves. FASCIST CRACKERS!

It’s almost as if some of these moonbats subconsciously want an al-Qaeda nail bomb to go off in their faces, knowing how much they have it coming. They can’t really think that if we stop trying to stop them, terrorists will just go away.

Actually VH, I think they want the nail bomb to go off in their mommy and daddy’s faces.

Whatever happened to terrorism being the fault of Israel? You know…the poor people on the West Bank were so desperate that suicide bombs of innocent Israelis was the only way to make their point.
Now that educated, financially secure Muslims are strapping on the bomb belts, it seems to me the rest of the world should wake up and see once and for all that the suicide attacks have nothing to do with Israel…never did.
Of course, no one on either side is making that point, and it really needs to be made.

Van Helsing…what the hell do you know about Moonbats?
Oh. Never mind.

“Human behind a the glass Exhibit”
Damn, cranky, all I could think about after reading that post was “Planet of the Apes”, and you know what happened to the humans in that movie. I kinda associate the Muzzies with the gorillas and orangatangs in that movie. And the chimps were the good guys, moonbats, so take that! You know who the head chimp is, now don’t ya? Ha!

Sharon,
The Jew Bashing is so ubiquitous that it doesn’t bear mention any longer.
One generation says that they hate the Jews for killing Christ. Their children, who now embrace Reason, hate the Zionist for occupation and colonialism.
Funny, but for people who think they’re so much more rational and enlightened than they’re parents, they have no clue that they’re exactly the same.
Oh and Templar? Soylent Green is people.

Being enlightened means you understand that Christ needed killing.
It’s the defining moment in all of Christianity and a powerful image that’s endured almost two millenia. Without that act of forgiveness as an inspiration, thousands would die in freeway shootings every day.
