Putin: Terrorist Aiming to Derail Bush

[CollectiveInterest]

C'mon. Who takes this seriously?

If Putin knows so much about the terrorists, why doesn't he do a better job of stopping them?

This is transparently an attempt to curry favor with Bush. It's laughable.

The Bush campaign is losing on policy so it's time to rachet up the fear level. I wonder how much it cost Bush to buy this favor from Putin.

I've never understood the idea of terrorists plotting an attack to cause Bush to be ousted.  If there was a major terrorist attack a day or two before election day, Bush would probably win in a landslide since the country would go back to being deathly afraid of the terrorists.

Yeah, maybe Rove is having trouble engineering an al Qaeda attack. The best he could get was Putin to talk about one.

That may be what the Islamists are thinking, but it's hard to impute rational motives onto those people.

Bush supporters have got to be psychotic. They think their Neo Con ideology is right for the country and then make moronic statements like, "Islamists are not rational".

People that act alone can be not rational. Guess what! People don't join not rational movements. There's a rationality that organizes the thinking of al Qaeda supporters. You just don't understand it. And you're so arrogant, you attribute your failure to understand to a lack of rationality on the part of "Islamists".

Bush people are not dealing in reality. They have some fictional bullsh**t view of the world that they feed themselves that makes them feel comfortable and righteous.

So if I understand you, Islamic suicide terrorists are highly rational, but Bush supporters are irrational?  Maybe you are too arrogant to recognize that you don't see the rationality in the president's policy.  And if you think those suicide bombers are rational, then you have a screw loose.

You don't believe in dying for a cause?

Bush supporters have an ideological fantasyland where Bush and the GOP can do no wrong. The fantasyland has its own logic and rationality. It's just the rest of the world doesn't work the way the Bushies believe it does.

But yeah, I don't think Bush supporters are more rational than al Qaeda supporters. al Qaeda wants a global war between the West and Islam. And Bush wants a global war between the West and al Qaeda, et al. Pretty similar, eh? In such a war Bush and the Neo Cons will have more power over their native constituencies and ObL and al Qaeda will have more power over their native constituencies.

CollectiveInterest,  On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the farthest toward the communist party, how far are you?  For real don't be shy.

What is the Republican obsession with namecalling?

[CollectiveInterest]

Putin always has been an undemocratic asshole.

But he's Bush's undemocratic asshole.

[CollectiveInterest]

The maturity on this thread has just hit a new low.

You know what? I've tried engaging Republicans with facts and logic for years. Poor track record.

So I'm opening-up the ridicule front.

If they're gonna support policies that are dishonest or aren't working, I'm gonna include ridicule in my arguments. If they are still gonna be wrong on the issues, I'm gonna make 'em feel stupid about it. Because I'm sick of them being wrong and being proud of it.
