Proof and linkage: Terrorists for Kerry

Ever wonder which terrorists, Mullahs, dictators and despots are endorsing John Kerry? LGF has some answers.

House Speaker Dennis Hastert tells it like it is, causing the DNC to whine furiously: Hastert’s al Qaeda comment draws fire.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Top Democrats slapped back Sunday at a remark by House Speaker Dennis Hastert that al Qaeda leaders want Sen. John Kerry to beat President Bush in November.

At a campaign rally Saturday in his Illinois district with Vice President Dick Cheney, Hastert said al Qaeda “would like to influence this election” with an attack similar to the train bombings in Madrid days before the Spanish national election in March.

When a reporter asked Hastert if he thought al Qaeda would operate with more comfort if Kerry were elected, the speaker said, “That’s my opinion, yes.”

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe called Hastert’s comments “disgraceful,” saying there was “no room for this in our political discourse.”

I don’t think Al Qaeda has issued their endorsement of a candidate yet, but here are just a few LGF stories about support for John Kerry from Islamic supremacists, terror supporters, appeasing Spanish prime ministers, and anti-American moonbats:

The mullahs of Iran.
Mahathir Mohamad.
Noam Chomsky.
Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero.
An Iraqi mujahideen.
France.
The Arab world...

CBS and The DNC - Timeline

I am shocked... SHOCKED... that the mainstream media hasn't pursued the CBS/DNC collusion story more diligently. So what if a major network news organization coordinated with the Democratic party to launch a vicious attack on a sitting president to influence an election? Where's the story?

Last week, I tried to make some sense of CBS's stonewalling inthe faceof obvious forgeries, and I noted...

"I think we are now to the point where CBS is frantically trying to minimize the damage, and this statement, while it says nothing, really, is rather inciteful. It seems pretty clear to me that they understand how damaging this memogate bit has been to their reputation and their credibility. However, they have determined that revealing their sources and methodology in a forthright, open statement would be more damaging still... I think we are going to learn, in the not so distant future, about a serious incestuous relationship between CBS News and some person, persons, or group..."

Enter Joe Lockhart... [timeline follows]

...Really though- this is all just a coincidence. Joe Lockhart meeting with Bill Burkett via 60 Minutes several days before the 60 Minutes piece aired had nothing to do with the timing and shape of the attacks from the Democrats. Just a big, fuzzy, uncoordinated occurrence. Don't read anything into it at all...

Michael Moore tries to cheer up the Kerry campaign

There's hilarious hijinx aplenty when Michael Moore tries to rally the troops from a disappointing seven weeks of campaigning, Kerry-style. Hey, Michael, maybe John Kerry could sit down with a real reporter (it's been what, fifty days?) and take real questions and provide real answers... that might bring some undecideds into the fold.

Oh wait, then Kerry would have to answer the painful questions about his medical records, the fibs about his unreleased service records, the secret mission to Cambodia with the CIA man and his magic hat, the rice-bin purple heart... okay, scratch that!

I can just see Terry McCauliffe now, wringing his hands in exasperation at the latest poll numbers. And whining, "Fine, let's go with Michael Moore: the fat new face of the Democratic party!". It worked well for General Wesley Clark, Moore's last candidate (oops, I said "candy" around Michael Moore... - major mistake!). Moore should work equally well for an already doomed Kerry campaign, which continues to lose traction as the hubcabs start rolling off and the lug-nuts loosen.

...Enough of the handwringing! Enough of the doomsaying! Do I have to come there and personally calm you down? Stop with all the defeatism, OK? Bush IS a goner -- IF we all just quit our whining and bellyaching and stop shaking like a bunch of nervous ninnies. Geez, this is embarrassing! The Republicans are laughing at us...

...Look at us -- what a bunch of crybabies. Bush gets a bounce after his convention and you would have thought the Germans had run through Poland again. The Bushies are coming, the Bushies are coming! Yes, they caught Kerry asleep on the Swift Boat thing. Yes, they found the frequency in Dan Rather and ran with it. Suddenly it's like, "THE END IS NEAR! THE SKY IS FALLING!"

Finally! A sentiment from Fat Bastard^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HMikey Moore that I can agree with!

President Bush's Speech to UN General Assembly

Here are the highlights of a great speech.

... In this young century, our world needs a new definition of security. Our security is not merely found in spheres of influence, or some balance of power. The security of our world is found in the advancing rights of mankind...

...In the last year alone, terrorists have attacked police stations, and banks, and commuter trains, and synagogues -- and a school filled with children...

...Members of the United Nations, the Russian children did nothing to deserve such awful suffering, and fright, and death. The people of Madrid and Jerusalem and Istanbul and Baghdad have done nothing to deserve sudden and random murder. These acts violate the standards of justice in all cultures, and the principles of all religions. All civilized nations are in this struggle together, and all must fight the murderers...

...Because we believe in human dignity, peaceful nations must stand for the advance of democracy. No other system of government has done more to protect minorities, to secure the rights of labor, to raise the status of women, or to channel human energy to the pursuits of peace. We've witnessed the rise of democratic governments in predominantly Hindu and Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish and Christian cultures...

...The advance of freedom always carries a cost, paid by the bravest among us. America mourns the losses to our nation, and to many others. And today, I assure every friend of Afghanistan and Iraq, and every enemy of liberty: We will stand with the people of Afghanistan and Iraq until their hopes of freedom and security are fulfilled.

These two nations will be a model for the broader Middle East, a region where millions have been denied basic human rights and simple justice. For too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability. Oppression became common, but stability never arrived. We must take a different approach. We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations.

This commitment to democratic reform is essential to resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. Peace will not be achieved by Palestinian rulers who intimidate opposition, tolerate corruption, and maintain ties to terrorist groups. The longsuffering Palestinian people deserve better. They deserve true leaders capable of creating and governing a free and peaceful Palestinian state...

...Because I believe the advance of liberty is the path to both a safer and better world, today I propose establishing a Democracy Fund within the United Nations. This is a great calling for this great organization. The fund would help countries lay the foundations of democracy by instituting the rule of law and independent courts, a free press, political parties and trade unions...

...I believe we will rise to this moment, because I know the character of so many nations and leaders represented here today. And I have faith in the transforming power of freedom...

CBS Biased? Like Hell!

This Sunday, Sept. 19, at about 1:40 pm we happened to be near the CBS Broadcast Center at 530 57th Street in New York City (betw. 10th & 11th Ave.) filming the next episode of our heroic revolutionary struggle under the working title "Operation CBS Freedom Zone - Communist Broadcast System."

In the middle of the photo shoot, a very newsworthy CBS News van parked at the main entrance, with a rather tasteful sticker under the windshield...

Politicizing 9/11

From the always erudite Hugh Hewitt:

Bush-Cheney '04 campaign manager Ken Mehlmen on the program tonight, on John Kerry's speech today featuring some of the widows of 9/11 endorsing Kerry:

"Apparently they were against politicizing 9/11 before they were for it."

The Dems advocate politicizing 9/11... when it suits them
