Outblogged Again!
I really wanted to post something erudite (for a change) in response to Osama’s latest tape. Read the complete transcript here. After spending a couple of hours pingponging the blogocube, I found, via Lance Mannion, the Sideshow - and I gave up: A more succinct summation cannot be written.
It’s pretty obvious the Republicans worked fast to make sure everyone knew the talking point in response to bin Laden’s tape: Tie him to Democrats, liberals, and anti-war supporters. And they can’t let up for a minute on that, or else people might notice that bin Laden is much more like Fallwell than like Moore, has far closer ties to the Bush family and other Republicans than to Kennedy, and that it was the Bush administration that left us open for 9/11 in the first place and they still aren’t doing a damned thing to make us safer. And the media, including alleged liberals like Matthews, picked it up right on cue.
Darn! Outblogged again!
