It seems to me that the most dangerous internal threat to our country, may just be the coup d’�tat by the Right to counter what they see as Liberal Media Bias by taking over said media and spinning it so far beyond reason to the Right, with such daily lockstep consistency, that it’s become very difficult for the average American to even realize they are being spun anymore.
Thus, the Brad Blog – as a public service to America – is pleased to offer the occasional correction to the record.
True, we don’t have a 3-hour-a-day radio show (yet), but we gotta start somewhere. So here we go:
Dear DittoHeads: Today Riush is telling you that “Liberals were in a panic” after the terrorist attack in Madrid last week because it demonstrated that Bush was proven right about this being a dangerous world. The “Liberals were terrified”, Rush told you, until, of course, they began dancing with the joy three days later after the surprise victory of the Socialist Party in the elections which ousted the Conservative Administration that was complicit with Bush and his elective War on Iraq.
The result of those elections, Rush instructs you, was that “the terrorist have won” (true) and thus Liberals in this country are beside themselves with happiness over those results (a complete and total fabrication made up to suit Rush’s agenda).
Now despite Rush’s misinformation to the contrary – he doesn’t actually know any Liberals or what they actually think about anything, or if he does, he won’t waste his time by reporting it, but rather will simply makes up an absurd position for them that best fits his need to fill 3-hours-a-day with Pro-Republican propaganda.
Yo, Rushies, you are being played by your Master! Don’t be a DittoChump!
It was the Bush Administration that was, and continues to be in a panic over these attacks. At least they should be (you see, I don’t actually know anybody in the Bush Administration, so I’d merely be speculating on what they feel. See how I’ve actually told you about that? – That’s what intellectual honest folks do. Get it?) But, if I were them, I would certainly be concerned. Both over the attacks, and the chill that must be running through their bones upon seeing the reactionary results of the election that followed.
It was the Bush Administration who didn’t want to admit to you over the weekend (see Colin Powell’s contortions on Sunday’s Meet the Press for example) what was so obvious from the beginning: That these attacks were clearly the work of al-Qaeda. The same al-Qaeda that you have previously been told are “on the run” and “decimated” and “crippled”. They are – clearly – no such thing. They have been radicalized and enthused by the West having fallen into the sand trap they’ve laid for us. We fell for it. Lost the focus on the War on Terrorism by our distraction in Iraq. An invasion which is the very Public Service Announcement that The Terrorists were looking for to display to their potential recruits that America is a threat to Islam.
That can’t be admitted, of course, because it wouldn’t do for the Bushies to be seen again as misleaders. Especially on the issue of Terrorism. Not for now, anyway. Not until they do their inevitable pre-Election switcheroo and go into The-World-is-More-Dangerous-than-Ever-and-only-Republicans-Can-Save-You! Mode. Coming soon to a Presidential Campaign near you!
It may take a while, but we will do our best to de-Spin you, DittoHeads! It’s our patriotic American duty at least to try.
For the record, anybody who could speculate that the attacks in Madrid weren’t the work of al-Qaeda, should note that the attack in Madrid came on March 11, 2004 – the precise 2� year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and exactly 911 days since that day! Coincidence? We report, you decide. But try not to be a sucker in the meantime. Really, it’s just not good for the country – or the world.
I prefer to think of Rush fans as diddiots.
Isn’t this the same Rush Limbaugh, who espouses family values, and yet can’t keep his fat ass married or raise a family?
Isn’t this the same Rush Limbaugh who thinks that there are more native Americans today than there were at the time of Columbus?
Isn’t this the same Rush Limbaugh who stated categorically that smoking doesn’t cause cancer?
Isn’t this the same Rush Limbaugh that made up the connection between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster’s death?
Isn’t this the same Rush Limbaugh who has spent his broadcasting career dumping on government handouts but spent a lot of time on unemployment?
Isn’t this the same Rush Limbaugh who claims a severe back injury led to his ‘crack-ho’ like dependence on painkillers yet constantly shows off his beautifully pain free golf swing?
I wouldn’t put too much stock in what this thrice-married, government dole taking, gossip monger has to say.
Ok, so what is your solution to terrorism?
Jaime said:
"I wouldn’t put too much stock in what this thrice-married, government dole taking, gossip monger has to say."
Of course, I wouldn’t either. But unfortunately, millions (witness our friend "Paul" above) do. And it’s more than just stock. They put everything they own and believe into repeating the nonsense that Rush tells them. They believe he’s an actual source of "news" and couldn’t even begin to comprehend that he’s actually an operative and they are being used to undermine the intellegence and safety and welfare of our country. They do as they are told.
Paul asked:
"Ok, so what is your solution to terrorism?"
Don’t know if he was asking me or Jaime, and I’ll blog more about it soon…but we could start by going after the actual TERRORISTS, actually funding Homeland Security with money instead of lipservice, stop alienating everyone in the world we actually need on our side in this "war", and finally, we could turn back time and not throw in the towel on the Israel/Palestine issue from Day 1 of the Bush Administration. At this point, any one of those items would go a long way towards a "solution". Bush has been an abject failure in that "war".
Let’s surmise, shall we?
The President of Spain defied the wishes of his employers, the people of Spain. "Democracy be damned, I’m attacking Iraq!"
He tried to use a tragedy, a horrific al qaeda attack for political gain at election time.
He also tried to use the attack to turn his people against some nasty folk – who had nothing to do with the attack!
It all sounds so familiar…
The response of the Spanish people? They canned his ass.
By the by, anybody but me remember about a year ago when Pakistani officials said they were pretty sure they were hot on Osama bin Laden’s trail and should be able to capture him within weeks, if not days? And Bush responded to the news by promptly dropping a slew of bombs on Baghdad?
Why, besides being family friends, is Bush protecting bin Laden?
> were pretty sure they were hot on Osama bin Laden’s trail
All of this talk of Bin Laden being "captured soon" is all hogwash until he is actually captured. I knew before Bush became president that Saddam would have to be dealt with. Saddam never abided by the 1991 war-ending resolution and the other 12 or so that the UN handed down during the Clinton years. And, then, finally, this last one that gave them one more chance. Iraq is part of the War on Terrorism and the other resolutions since 1991. Liberals continue to talk about unilateralism when we know that Russia and France and Germany had oil and monetary interests in Iraq.
I cannot wait to hear Brad’s solution to terrorism.
Dick Cheney was brilliant today.
John Kerry today continued to say Bush mislead the American people about WMDs when Kerry himself has been talking about Iraq and their WMDs for years.
Did you not read "Memo to Susan Estrich"?
Do you read anything? Or just listen to what Rush tells you to say?
