Catapulting the propaganda
"If you don't support us, you support the terrorists": Bush team to cast foes {Ahem, WaComPo, maybe you mean 'critics'? - Ed.} as 'defeatists.'
[Stinky McSquirtypants] and his surrogates are launching a new campaign intended to rebuild support for the war in Iraq by accusing the opposition of aiming to appease terrorists and cut off funding for troops on the battlefield, charges that many Democrats say distort their stated positions.Yeah They've got nothing - so they're making shit up.
Pressed to support these allegations, the White House yesterday could cite no major Democrat who has proposed cutting off funds or suggested that withdrawing from Iraq would persuade terrorists to leave Americans alone. But White House and Republican officials said those are logical interpretations of the Democratic position favoring a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq.
Playing politics with terrorism: Fascism, terrism, 9/11, fear... Fascism, terrism, 9/11, fear... Fascism, terrism, 9/11, fear...
[Farty McGameboy] is kicking off another series of speeches to counter opposition to the war in Iraq, Americans' impatience with the rising US death toll and anxiety about possible terrorist attacks. {Who's anxious?? Nobody I know, and I work near NYC. - Ed.}Whatever the hell they are. And btw, are any Dems at all ever going to mention the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the US" PDB??
White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said Bush would use the speeches to assess the war on terror, outline the capabilities of al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups and remind Americans of steps the administration has taken to protect the nation.
Bush's new PR offensive is a recycled old lie and thinly disguised McCarthyism. Bush will try to convince the American people that Iraq is a part of the war on terror and, opposing the war is un-American. Never mind that Bush's war on terror is not only phony, it makes real terrorism worse and endangers American lives. What will happen when we get a real terrorist threat? Merely asking makes you a "Nazi appeaser". Bush and Rumsfeld breathe new life in odious McCarthyism. This cynical exploitation of fear does not makes us safer. It endangers us all.
