Democrats call Zarqawi killing a stunt
The Washington Times ^ | 4:09 p.m., June 8, 2006 | Amy Fagan

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."

Remember the Salad Days right after 9/11 when Democrats were afraid of being Anti-American? Sigh...the Good Old Days!

By "stunt" do they mean we could've killed Zarq at any time but chose this particular time because the President's approval rating is low? Incredibly sick.

Did I miss something or is the headline misleading?

Nope, you didn't miss anything. The headline is very misleading. Bad jounalism is bad journalism, whether committed by those on the left or right.

"...Katie Couric, from sometime around 1955...."

Can't be 1955. I was born in 1955 and KC is two years younger than me. More likely it's around 1974.

"...Now THIS is a stunt! Pay attention, Rep. Stark...."

You mean Stark's jumped the shark?

Out of hundreds of posts, you're the only one to respond to my question. Thank you!

I've seen that headline on other sites and re-read the article and was sure I must be missing something. Even on FNC this morning, they said that Democrats said the killing of Zarqawi was a stunt. Not that I'm a defender of Democrats (LOL) but that's just bad reporting.

By the same measure, I suppose that the Declaration of Independence is also a "stunt"?

Perhaps the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just a big, huge, "stunt"?

Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!

NEW HEADLINE:
DEMOCRATS: AMERICA A "STUNT"

Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership, today said that the establishment of the United States of America was a stunt to divert global attention from the spectre of past religious persecution.

"This is just to cover the King's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for British citizens having been persecuted and killed for their religion...

And people are still quoting the word "stunt" as if someone other than the Times headline actually said it.

I really, really hate it when we sink to the left's level of just making stuff up.

"November elections"

I'm absolutely amazed and enraged at the incompetence of the RNC in their inability to present the lunatic side of the Dem Party as they really are to the American public. My advice to the RNC is to place these comments by Stark and others in tv ads and put the rhetorical question to the American voter: are these the kind of people you want to elect?

I pull the hair out of my head when I watch the wimpy ads the RNC places. Emphasize the growth of the economy due to tax cuts. Tell the American public about the dangers of Islamo-fascism and how we are defeating it. Talk about morality and the Dem push for homo "marriage". Don't be afraid to call the Dems what they really are. They don't even have to exaggerate. Dems hang themselves with what they do and say every day of the year. Stark's nutjob words are just one example.

That's called liberal logic.

I read somewhere that they wanted him caught not killed.

To them it's all about cut and run.

"Who, really, is surprised? I'm shocked it took some Dems several hours to say such things. They're usually quicker on the draw."

They're a little slower to make statements that reveal them to be traitors in wartime. Consider the two-hour delay as their way of showing respect for the American war effort.
