TERROR FOR POLITICAL PROFIT-so what's new.

Aren't you disgusted yet? I am. Aren't you sick of this 'woooooowoooooo everyone hates us and you don't get that everyone hates us and wants to kill us, woooooooowooooooooo, send in the marines!"

If we just recite enough sounding foreign names can we get everyone whipped up in a xenophobic frenzy so we only trust big mouthed long legged blondes?

Beware those self proclaimed public intellectuals who tout their New York Times best-selling status while peddling books for $1.35. Yes, you can now buy “Godless” Ann Coulter’s epistle on Amazon for a buck thirty five. That makes it cheaper than a bag of mixed nuts at the airport or a box of tampax. There’s a rush at Walmart so get yours today.
Beware of people who say things like “All gays are….” “all liberals….” “all abortions…..”. Gays are not all gay or remain gay for the same reason, all people don’t get abortions for the same reasons and all “liberals” don’t all hold views for the same motivation on all issues all the time. Neither apparently are all Catholics on all fours with all alleged Catholic positions all the time.
Neither are self proclaimed public intellectuals smart all the time.
Point in case is Coulter who if she looked like Roseanne Barr would not be on any TV show but Comedy Central and the world would take her about that seriously.
Why anyone takes seriously anyone who thinks she is making a point by posting unconvicted names of British Pakistani young men on her webpage decrying her new straw target –those mythic "liberals" who don’t think terror is worth fighting-is beyond me. I hope those Pakistani youth who are not convicted sue her for Slander and write a book about it. One has already been released as an innocent bystander of the wrong color in the wrong place. Others were detained and arraigned without counsel or even a phone call home. NBC news reports that the Bush administration put pressure on Blair to get these arrests immediately when common sense and the state of evidence didn't support it- none of these characters apparently had even purchased an airline ticket, and many of them don't even have passports.
Coulter apparently has forgotten (if she ever knew because her knowledge of world history ends at Nova Scotia and she thinks anyone who knows anything outside the US "hates America") that Britain once ruled India, Pakistan and Bangladesh such that there are enormous populations of all of them in Britain and they all are entitled to the same due process the rest of the country gets. Not one of them has been convicted of anything. Their arrest has conveniently however coincided nicely with the kick off of Democratic take back the Congress high gear season.

The only thing she has said correctly is her prediction that Republicans will lose many seats this November election. “Lots of them” I think she said. When that happens I will buy her a drink and suggest her next book topic should be “How my vicious loud ignorant mouth tanked it for the Republicans but they all still want me, because I still look hot toting a shotgun in tight jeans and I have more money than Ariana. Na na na na.”

Here is what we do know. Shamelessly the Republicans are expert at Capitalizing on Terror.
Terror pays big. A republican fundraiser letter went out timed ever so conveniently with regard to the terror announcement. Grab your duck tape kiddies, head for the safe room and bring along mommies check book with you:

Click here: ABC News: Democrats Assail GOP Fundraising Effort

WASHINGTON Aug 11, 2006 (AP)— Democrats assailed the Republicans Friday for e-mailing a fundraising appeal mentioning the war on terror hours after British authorities disclosed they had disrupted a plot to blow up aircraft headed to the United States.
"In the middle of a war on terror, we need to remain focused on furthering Republican ideas more than ever before," former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said in a letter that asked for donations to the Republican National Committee.
The RNC blamed a low-level staffer for distributing the fundraising appeal, which the party said had been scheduled for release before news of the plot broke.
"Once the RNC learned of this error we ceased distribution of the e-mail," said Tracey Schmitt, a party spokeswoman.
Democrats didn't accept the explanation.
"The defeat of the London plot is a warning that we should redouble our efforts to defeat terrorism. It shouldn't be used as a political defibrillator by Republicans on electoral life support," said Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Senate Democrats' campaign committee.
