Dems Irked Over Zarqawi's Death

[Carl/NewsMax]

Grassroots Democrats weighing in on several popular liberal web sites Thursday morning said that they were troubled by reports that al Qaeda's top operational terrorist, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, had been killed in a U.S. air strike.

Reacting to the news, one visitor to the Daily Kos complained that using military force to kill Zarqawi "violates everything my America stands for."

"It violates the rule of law and invokes the rule of force in what should be a criminal, not a military, matter."

Another Daily Kos'er was irked because he thought the news would benefit President Bush:

"No doubt Karl Rove will have the Sock Puppet President acting as if he personally dropped the bomb that killed that jackass," he wrote. "But other than a couple of photo ops of Bush looking cocky, it does nothing because two more tin-plated Zarqawi's will pop up."

A third Kos poster suggested that there was little difference between the top al Qaeda terrorist and the leader of the free world, writing: "Now [that] we are rid of one murderous tyrant - how about the removal of another one-believed hiding in a safe-house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?"

Over at the Democratic Underground, reaction to news of Zarqawi's death was also negative:

"Convenient too that this would happen now," complained one DU'er: "Guess we should just all forget about that Haditha mess, the fact that we are approaching 2,500 dead and the fact that our economy is in big trouble."

Another DU poster said that killing the al Qaeda chief really wasn't such a big deal, insisting: "Zarqawi was a fringe group of al Qaeda, and definitely NOT responsible for the bulk of the insurgency and civil war now occurring in Iraq. Any gains that they hope to receive will be short-lived when reality strikes home."

"...one visitor to the Daily Kos complained..."

Damn shame.

[BenLurkin]

Seems they have now sided openly with the terrorists.

[PeteB570]

You just can't make that stuff up.

They are for real and I can only shake my head.

[nuconvert]

lol. Of course.
It's bad news all around for the libnuts

[Peach]

Just further proof that good news for America is bad news for Democrats.

[areafiftyone]

on other threads DUers are estatic that Nick Berg's father slammed Bush just now and call him the terrorist not Zarqawi.

[lawgirl]

killing the people that want to kill you is definitely going against everything america is starting to stand for, because we are becoming a nation of pansies just like the euroweenies. I hope we learn from their mistakes instead of following in their footsteps.

[blitzgig]

But of course we must never question their patriotism!

[SE Mom]

The mind boggles...

[jammer]

Sometimes I can't believe the psychoses. Disclosure: I was opposed to going to Iraq. But this is cause for rejoicing for all freedom lovers. These reactions separate those with principles who may be opposed, but still love and support their country, from those who despise it.

[edcoil]

Iraq leader killed and some reporter calls a grieving dad already on record opposing the president for his comment.

Talk about a set-up. Sadly this reporter will continue there job and keep bringing this stuff up.

Talk about a driven wacko idology.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I think it would take an expert in abnormal pyschology to figgure out how these daily KOS folks mind processes information.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

"Any gains that they hope to receive will be short-lived when reality strikes home."

As in the reality that will strike the DUmmies on, say, November 3, 2006 when they don't take back the House and/or Senate? *Smirk*

[Reactionary]

Only in Idiot Liberal Land is it bad news when some Third World jihadist lunatic is killed.

These people are sick in the head.

[ShandaLear]

No kidding, I was looking for the link to Scrappleface.

[goldstategop]

Liberals can't be happy for our country. They actually are enamored of murderers. Then again, they still champion Saddam Hussein, so I'm not surprised by their caterwauling over Zarqawi's demise.

(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")

[Kieri]

My first thought: "What, are they nuts???!"

My second thought: "Well, duhhhhhh...!"

[OldFriend]

Perhaps the DUers are hoping to recruit Schumer to do the dirty deed.

[RobFromGa]

Some more DUers comments I found and posted on the Live Thread:

It's almost an "open joke" among the military and
civilians who know how PsyOps operate, and the History, that Zarqowi is merely a "Pentagon creation."

And oh, don't we need some good news now? It's so predictable I could write the OP Orders.

It's all bullshit LIES paraded around for PR exploitation.

We almost need wings to rise above it.

Even Fox News isn't picking this up...
And you know that Fox would be multiple orgasming over this if it were true.

ABC News may find itself about to have a Jason Leopold moment.

110. Yeah, we'll all get new shoes, and one of the #2 guys will take charge...

I'm already sick of the news media gushing all over the Pentagon like another "Mission Accomplished" afterglow.

54. *DING! DONG!* THE PHANTOM IS DEAD!

The War Was Worth it!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! USA! USA! USA!

Meanwhile, in the reality based world, the lies, the death, the destruction, the unabated crimes, and the spiraling into hell and fascism for our nation, and the senseless deaths of innocent Iraqi's continues, without end.

But hey, Goldstien's Dead.

AGAIN.

64. It's unspeakably cruel to do this to military families who must keep hoping that THIS TIME it means something real for them.

For that alone, I hope Rumsfeld burns in hell or some equivalent for eternity.

73. Not to mention the fact that it does nothing to change the situation in Iraq. I was just watching the "wall-to-wall" coverage on the Cable networks, and they are acting like its all over now, we can all sleep well, the bogeyman is dead, the situation in Iraq will finally become peaceful and all is well....

Sadly, for a few days, this will be the only thing talked about and meanwhile we will hit the 2,500th death of US troops and will anyone be paying attention?

TheWatcher (1000+ posts) Thu Jun-08-06 04:33 AM

81. Until we stop falling for their Propaganda this will NEVER end... It always seems just as things are finally starting to fall apart, they pull out another carrot and all the sheep in the meadow yell HUZZAH! and go back to grazing.

Rinse. Repeat. HUZZAH!

Rinse Repeat, etc, etc, etc.....

What is it going to take?

[A message]

But of course we must never question their patriotism!

Exactly!!

These dumb lefties are not only traitors but stupid suicidal traitors.

"Reacting to the news, one visitor to the Daily Kos complained that using military force to kill Zarqawi "violates everything my America stands for." "

Heh Heh!
Hey Kos dude, your America stands for insanity.
This is OUR America. :)

[Clara Lou]

LOL. The Daily Kos-sters' consternation makes my day. [What small, small people they are! Someone responsible for the murder of many, many innocents is taken out, and they aren't glad for it. Losers.]

[Huck]

It's pathetic and sad.

[NorCalRepub]

.....hmmmm.....I wouldn't lump in regular no activist Dems with the likes of Daily Kos or DUers.....most Dems will be damned glad that he is dead....just that they won't like Bush getting credit for it....

[elephant]

All your House belongs to us!

[cvq3842]

Typical claptrap. A criminal matter? I swear, some of these loony leftists think we should have given Mohammed Atta a parking ticket for "unauthorized parking" of a plane and left it at that. (I'm not minimizing the horror of 9/11, just illustrating the disgusting ideas of the moonbats.) And of course, anything good SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN since Bush might get credit. Better the US lose the war than Bush be right and benefit America. No, these people don't wish America ill, no way. (sarcasm) i won't even dignify the "Bush is a terrorist" nonsense.

As I search for some rational explanation for what essentially has NO such explanation, all I can come up with is that these people are in the deepest denial. Somehow it's more comforting and less frightening for them to believe that Bush & co planned 9/11 and the war than to believe there are scum like Osama, Atta and Z. (can't spell it) out there who WANT TO DESTROY US and that we have to fight them.

Whatever. Let them play in their sick sandbox. As long as these idiots get the f--- out of the way and let the ADULTS defend us.

[standingfirm]

It will be interesting by day's end to hear the mantra of Dem talking points on this. They are probably behind closed doors as we speak figuring out said talking points!

I hope Rush or someone does a montage of them all saying the same thing.

[daviddennis]

I thought this was a rather stupid satire piece, so I found the thread on the Daily Kos and searched for the phrases given in the comments.

I'll be darned.

Every one of them is real.

Here's the thread, for anyone who wants to take a look. Endless barf alert.

We certainly have some real nuts over there.

Wow.

D

[cvq3842]

Agreed!!!

[Blue Turtle]

As much as some repubs have let me down (immigration, spending)...there is NO WAY I would vote for these democrat nuts!

Reacting to the news, one visitor to the Daily Kos complained that using military force to kill Zarqawi "violates everything my America stands for."

"It violates the rule of law and invokes the rule of force in what should be a criminal, not a military, matter."

That reiterates what W and Cheney said before the election in pointing out the difference betweeen the right way of responding to terrorism and the left (wrong) way or responding. The democrats view it as a criminal matter to be dealt with by courts and lawyers, when in fact it should be viewed as an act of war against America committed by these terrorists. You don't send your neighborhood crime watch to respond to an act of war; you send your military with the best warfighting equipment it has. Of course, the idiot democrat lapdogs of the media immediately misconstrued Cheney's and W's comments as if they meant terrorists would attack us again if democrats won the election but not if republicans won. Talk about a lack of comprehension skills!

[Jameison]

"Just further proof that good news for America is bad news for Democrats."

Yes.
But we have known that for a long time now, haven't we?

Daschle is deeply concerned.. more now than before

[dagoofyfoot]

But of course we must never question their patriotism.


No, but some one needs to take a good hard look at their sanity! They're patriots all right, (for Al Qaida).


I can't believe some of the things these wack-jobs are saying.

[Bean Counter]

yah

This is arguably the biggest news story of the year, and the Portland Oregonian buried it back on page A-11...

This is proof positive that good news for America is always bad news for Democrats. Wait till the offical 'Rat talking points hit the airwaves later today, but in the meantime, enjoy watching the heads pop like popcorn over at the DUmp...

Someone bet me a burger that Nancy Pelosi will be out soon, and closely mirror what DailyKOS (et al) is saying; something to the effect that the worst economy in 100 years trumps the death of a mere "terrorist" in Iraq....blah, blah, blah...

[synbad600]

They are mentally stunted.

[snowman1]

GET AN F#$%ING LIFE. This man is not a criminal he's a terrorist, what part of terrorist don't you people understand.

[new cruelty]

I sincerely hope that those who opposed this news are vexed by even more reports of great victories achieved by the United States military in the days to come.

[Chi-townChief]

Sounds like the lefties are breaking out the black veils.

[BaBaStooey]

You neglect to mention all the nutjobs who called in on the Democratic line to CSPAN this morning.

[Grampa Dave]

Let them keep posting.

Their Canadian Brothers found out that people were watching what they posted and said on phones.

[RandallFlagg]

Hey, there. Any chance you can go to The Dark Side and copy some of the most outrageous posts that you can find and put 'em here? I can't go because the place isn't exactly work-friendly.

Have now????? What the hell do you think the've been doing?

[johnny7]

American socialists... just like their Marxist-commie brethren... are ALWAYS pulling for the enemy. Only when America's will is broken... and it's citizens walk in rubble... can they ever hope to achieve power.

[goldstategop]

They hate Rummy more than the Al Qaeda psychopath monster we sent off to the Great Tribunal In The Sky. The Left is sick down to its soul.

LOL! Don't you mean black burkas!

[zook]

Actually, I noted that about 4% of those posting at DU were pleased with Zarqawi's death.
