Democrat Talk Show Host blames President Bush for Riyadh Attacks

Well, we all knew it would happen... Democrats are now starting to blame President Bush and Operation Iraqi Freedom for the latest bombings against Americans (this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia).

The first terrorist attacks against Americans since 9/11 have happened. And, no sooner were numbers of the dead and injured starting to come into the news media, that a loudmouth liberal Democrat blamed Bush for the attacks.

Talk show host Bernie Ward (KGO/San Francisco) was on the Fox News Channel this morning with brand-new talking points... The Riyadh attacks of 5/12/03 are President Bush's fault.

Asked for his thoughts on the attacks, the corpulent Ward stated "these attacks are the direct result of President Bush's actions against Iraq. When did Saddam Hussein kill any Americans? We forgot about Al Qaeda!"

A shouting match occured after his comments.

Asked by the co-guest "so are you saying that if we had not attacked Iraq, these attacks in Saudi Arabia wouldn't have happened?", Mr. Ward responded, "This is exactly what I am saying. We attacked a country that did not harm us. This is retalliation for President Bush's actions. Saddam didn't kill any Americans, Al Qaeda did."

Here on Free Republic, we were all expecting this immediate blaming of the President for the next attack after Iraqi Freedom. Our concerns were warranted. These liberal Democrats have no shame in blaming America first.

Shame on Bernie Ward and the rest of the liberals who will undoubtedly use this attack for their own political purposes.

Have you ever heard Bernie Ward be reasonable and rational?

[Lazamataz]

I blame Bernie Ward for the 5/12 Ridyah attacks. If it wasn't for his sputtering, festering hatred, Al Qaeda would like us!!!

[Lee'sGhost]

Of all the stupid positions the libs take this is one of the dumbest. Anyone with sense would looka at all the attacks leading up to and including the WTC and ask, "why would they stop now?" But when we fight back, libs use stupid backward logic and say, "Well, we wouldn't have been attacked if we hadn't have attacked them."

You just gotta be stupid to think this way.

[Az Joe]

Gee, I thought that was Saudi Arabia's country.

[Labyrinthos]

Have you ever heard Bernie Ward be reasonable and rational?

I have never heard of Bernie Ward.

[dts32041]

Is this guy Jerry Nadler's little brother, there appears to be a strong familial resemblance.

[johnb838]

stupid or spinning. I suspect the latter.

[Gillmeister]

Typical liberal San Francisco meathead......His 4th chin was really shaking as he made these stupid remarks

[MEG33]

You are fortunate.

[Cyclops08]

Actually this is what the libes were waiting for!
Any attack, any large casualty in Iraq was to be blamed on Bush for purely political reasons! Hillary and the dems are just waiting on this one. Its a talking point...

EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME.

That's so true. Ward use to have a show he called godtalk were his whole religious philosophy was in direct contradiction to Islam. This is the pay back for his insensitivity.

[skeeter]

I don't normally go for personal attacks, but Bernie makes it impossible to resist.

One day this fat slob is gonna get so wound up in one of his nonsensical left wing rants he's gonna pop.

Thats my fervent wish, anyway.

[kevao]

Personally, I think Bush's tax cut proposal is responsible for the Riyadh attacks -- the timing is just too coincidental.

[Uncle Hal]

Bernie Ward is a big fat liberal idiot. He is on KGO in the middle of the night because if he was on normal hours no body would listen to him. He is so far to the left you can not see him. KGO has tried to fire him but the lefties in the bay area get up in arms and the radio station ends up keeping him.

[Inspectorette]

Very flattering picture - Bernie has added three more chins and two more sets of jowls since this was taken

Bernie only wishes he still looked like that. Oops. I'm guilty of lookism. Oh well.

[Lazamataz]

That's so true. Ward use to have a show he called godtalk were his whole religious philosophy was in direct contradiction to Islam. This is the pay back for his insensitivity.

Bernie Ward is personally and directly responsible for the deaths in Ridyah on 5/12.

[Lee Heggy]

Bet it takes him a half an hour to change a pillowcase using his chin.

[EGPWS]

Actually this is what the libes were waiting for! Any attack, any large casualty in Iraq was to be blamed on Bush for purely political reasons! Hillary and the dems are just waiting on this one. Its a talking point...

As, during the heated debate Dubya's poll ratings went up 10%(unsubstantiated, but most likely the case)

EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME.

Expect?? He!! I'm looking forward to it! These Dimocrat's are turning into the handiest little coffin carpenters!

[Pharlap]

Bill Clinton did everything he could to avoid attacking terrorists and it resulted in various terrorist attacks both in America and abroad against Americans. The attacks on September II, 2001 were not directed at America because we had attacked anyone; but because we were America. The attacks in Saudi Arabia were against not only Americans but others as well. These attacks, as all those that preceded them had nothing to do with our freeing Iraq from a brutal dictator who gave aid and comfort to terrorists. However, the assertion that our removing Hussein was the cause of this latest attack just shows how morally bankrupt are those who spount this vitriol. They would have left Hussein in power to torture, maim, and murder; to support terrorists; and to threaten to destabilize the Middle East. It is a sad commentary when Americans (those of the ilk of Bernie Ward) care so little for the sanctity of life, liberty and freedom that they would sacrifice all to gain an illusory political advantage.

[MinuteGal]

Anyone have an email addy for his bosses at the station? A little freeping might push management over the edge to ditch this creep.

[EggsAckley]

Try a search on KGO.com
I'm sure you'll find their website.

[wayoverontheright]

Blaming this attack on Bush is a real loser for the dems. The sheeple just won't buy it.

[BlueHorseShoe]

They should put him out to pasture to let his body feed off its fat for a while and let him just think about his remarks. ;^D

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

One day this fat slob is gonna get so wound up in one of his nonsensical left wing rants he's gonna pop.

At his current weight and intensity, this fat slob will drop dead within 10 years.

He is repulsive even to himself!

[tractorman]

Barnie Ward has more chins than a Chinese telephone book.

[SouthernFreebird]

Bet it takes him a half an hour to change a pillowcase using his chin

ROTFL ...

[Aaron0617]

Add Graham (D-FL) to the list as well. (Maybe we should create a thread for quotes from all RATs that are jumping on this.)

Anyway, Graham said last night's attack is a result of pulling forces out of Afganistan in preparation for the war on Iraq. Thus allowing Al Qeada to come back.

[Paul Atreides]

Hmmmmmm.....

[amused]

"these attacks are the direct result of President Bush's actions against Iraq."

But we were told over and over by leftists that Al Queda and Osama hated Saddam and would be glad to see him go. That this was exactly what Osama wanted along with our withdraw from Saudi Arabia.

When did Saddam Hussein kill any Americans?

Personally? Or through his money, training and influence?

We forgot about Al Qaeda!"

We did? Hundreds of arrests and foiled plots; he destruction of bases and training camps; the dogged pursuit and shutting down of financial connections? We forgot?

We will never forget!

[Frank_Discussion]

Seeing your screen name under the bearded boy-man image, made me think of a new nickname for him: The Beast Rabban.

[Feckless]

If it weren't for Bush and the war on terrorism these attacks would have been on American soil. F Demonratz!

[Paul Atreides]

We weren't doing anything to them BEFORE 9-11 and they attacked anyway.

[Paul Atreides]

LOL! The Beast Flabban.

[Frank_Discussion]

LOL! That's even better! What do the rest of y'all think about that name? Sounds about right, methinks.

[Kaslin]

He was on Fox News this morning with David Asman spewing his poison. He's nothing but a big fat liberal idiot just like Michael Moore. It lookes like he gained 200 pounds since that picture was taken

[Kaslin]

Oops, it was mentioned in the article that he was on FNC thhis morning

[snarkpup]

Ward use to have a show he called godtalk were his whole religious philosophy was in direct contradiction to Islam.

His philosophy is based on coveting thy neighbor's goods and theft, and is therefore in direct contradiction to most other religions as well.

[aristeides]

They're self-destructing.

[k2blader]

I saw some of it.

What a sick (fill-in-the-blank)...

[vrwinger]

I not sure I follow his "logic." AQ was responsible for 9/11, but has no ties to Iraq. So when the US attacked Iraq, AQ attack US interests because... we weren't paying enough attention to them?

Either AQ and Iraq have ties, which would explain why they would attack for "retaliation" or they don't. You can't argue both in the same sentence.

[Timesink]

Have you ever heard Bernie Ward be reasonable and rational?

No, but i've heard him be round, rotund and roly-poly.

[litehaus]

Where's NADLER..........?

[Alouette]

Michael Moore is more repulsive, unless the photo on the left has been airbrushed.

[Sir Gawain]

This is retaliation for President Bush's actions. Saddam didn't kill any Americans, Al Qaeda did.

I thought Al Qaeda was suspected of the bombings. When you think about it, his point makes no sense at all.

[philetus]

Here's Ward's email

Since 911, we haven't stood by and let people create political cover for terrorism, and we shouldn't start now.

This politician should be sick to his stomach that the death of inosent people represents a chance for him to move his career forward.

When a politicians agenda moves forward when inosent people die, it's just wrong at the core.

I understand how people in the opressed parts of the middle east shill for OBL. I think their shilling OBL is flat wrong, masivly missinformed, and caries a heavy agenda. I undertand it, but do not condone it.

When member of todays democrat party move their agenda forward in the blood pools of inosent people, I neither condone it, nor understand it's motovation. After all, are they shilling for OBL for the benifit of another country ? What country ? Why ? I thought it wasn't legal for an elected representative in the US government to take money from foreign interests.

If the forwarding of todays democrat agenda is contingent upon more americans being bombed, it's clear the democrats have hooked their wagon to the wrong cart.
