"AVAST! YE REPUBLICANS! YE WILL NOT ESCAPE US NOW!"
Posted on 06/08/2006 2:56:43 PM PDT by seamus
Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership, today said the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi in Iraq was a stunt to divert attention from an unpopular and hopeless war.
"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. "Iraq is still a mess -- get out."

#182 - You know you ain't right.
It is so clear that the left is on the side of the terrorists. If the American people can't figure that out at election time, then we are doomed!
Don't laugh. You must be underestimating the ability of leftist libs to be complete morons. What you just posted HAS been put forth 'seriously' by at least one of them.

C'mon MO, you knew this was coming. Madeline Albright still thinks we have Osama on ice waiting to wheel him out in an October surprise!
Come on, this from the Onion or Scrapple Face right ?
I bet Zarq doesn't think it's a stunt.
We really need to hear more of this nonsense from Democrats. They have been complaining endlessly about "not getting their message out". Well, let's hear it loud and clear. America wants to know where Democrats really stand. LOL!
Wow! Dems are insane.
"AVAST! YE REPUBLICANS! YE WILL NOT ESCAPE US NOW!"
I'm still shocked almost daily -- even though I should know better by now -- at the number of Americans who evince borderline support (and often much more) for the enemy.
For instance I was listening to the Diane Rhem show on National Public Radio today. The show is decidedly left (as is NPR generally) but still presumably somewhere in the "mainstream". Yet I heard the most remarkable series of call-ins. First a couple callers were "skeptical" that the victim was actually Zarqawi ('cause after all Bush is a liar). Then a third caller disdainfully suggested civilians were likely killed in the attack, but we would never know ('cause Bush is a murderer and a liar).
But that was only warm up to the coup-de-grace, a male caller who phoned in actually sounding like he was, and had been, crying. He started in general terms, saying how upset he was about the war. Rhem basically said something like, "there, there, we all understand" (and, the clear implication was, agree). Then it became clear that the was crying over the killing of Zarqawi specifically! Actually crying for this mass-murdering, mosque bombing monster!! It was an outrageous and horrifying image to him, that he could not get out of his mind, and that drove him to tears, dropping a bomb in this "human being" (Zarqawi).
Granted that one of Rhem's panelists did respond to this last caller by noting the horrific string of mass-causualty attacks on civilians for which Zarqawi was responsible, but in general the response to the whole string of calls was, "no big deal"!
"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat."
Sure it is. Happened like this:
(Phone rings)
Zarqawi: Hello?
Bush: Hey there, my smelly friend. Heh heh. You feelin' the heat yet?
Zarqawi: Bring it on Dubya.
Bush: Look, poll numbers are down, Greenspan has left,...looks like I'm going to have to activate the Babylon Option.
Zarqawi: Uh,...
Bush: Come on now. You got the 71 or is it 72,...anyway Virgins waiting right?
Zarqawi: Uh...how do I know what they look like?
Bush: Well now, heh heh, don't know exactly but uh..
IT specialist: got him Mr. president.
Zarqawi: Got who?..What's that red light?...**BOOOOM**
Bush: Zarqawi? Zarqawi, are you there? Heh, heh. Looks like I reached a disconnected number.
Maybe the Republican platform in 2008 needs to include a promise of more stunts like this one.
And the second best part about taking Zarq out is that he is out - no lengthy show trials, hostages taken in exchange for his release etc.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
I called Pete Stark's office and asked about his quote and they totally denied it and then hung up on me...

You know how the MSM always reports economic news in the negative, right? Well, this week they had to resort to saying that the latest positive unemployment figures (which are at historic lows) were "a statistical anomaly". LOL! They are no longer disputing or "coloring" the facts. Now they are in bald faced denial! Lunacy prevails in the Marxist Media. Cheers to another 10% decline in their stock.
