Dick Cheney officially insane
VP makes terrorist threat by saying terrorists will hit the US if Kerry wins.

The scaremonger-in-chief actually warned Americans about voting for John Kerry, saying that if 'the nation makes the wrong choice on Election Day' it faces the threat of another terrorist attack.

John Edwards replied, saying, "Dick Cheney's scare tactics crossed the line today, showing once again that he and George Bush will do anything and say anything to save their jobs. Protecting America from vicious terrorists is not a Democratic or Republican issue and Dick Cheney and George Bush should know that."

Edwards added that he and Kerry "will keep American safe, and we will not divide the American people to do it."

"I have heard a lot of outrageous statements at various times in my president's elections, but I think this kind of scare tactic by the vice president of the United States is irresponsible," - former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Flashback: "It is the leaders who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Goering, Nazi Propoganda Minister.

Update: it didn't take long for Dick to flip-flop on his statement. Cheney's spokeswoman told Olbermann last night that Dick was 'referring to a choice in policies, not to Kerry personally.'

"What the vice president was saying was whoever is elected will face the possibility of a terrible attack."

Asked whether Cheney stood by his statement, Womack replied, "The vice president stands by my explanation of the statement."

Nice spin move, douchehole. Of course whore Wholf Blitzer is is parrotting the WH line, which is kind of hard to do while you're on your back with your legs in the air, but hey, he's perfected it.

Repost: "The Bush administration has bungled the war on terrorism, doing little to provide security at home while breeding legions of new enemies abroad." - the government's former anti-terrorism chief, Richard Clarke.

Repost II: Senator Bob Graham accuses Bush of 9/11 Saudi cover-up.

This one's for Wolf:
