This is so good, I'll just print it as is...what makes it so great is that it is so true.
After introducing regular guests Brooks and Mark Shields, host Jim Lehrer asked their opinions concerning the just-released Osama bin Laden video.
Brooks was second up with this absolutely marvelous observation (final warning to put down your drinks, video available here):
No, ludicrous. I mean, on one hand, he's a malevolent guy who killed 3,000 Americans. But you read this thing, and it's like he's been sitting around reading lefty blogs, and he's one of these childish people posting rants at the bottom the page, you know, Noam Chomsky and all this stuff.
You can't help read it and not laugh at it, occasionally, because it is just absurd. It's flying this way, and that way, weird conspiracy theories, and mortgages, global warming. He throws it all in there.
The one thing that leapt out -- and Bruce Hoffman and the others mentioned this -- was how Western it is. And a friend of mine, Reuel Gerecht, points out that there's this argument that Western ideas never permeated into the Arab world, but in fact it's all -- I mean, a lot of the worst ideas from the West have permeated in, and he's picked up Noam Chomsky, and he's picked up some of the anti-globalization stuff. And that's what infuses this.
Yah gotta love it!

anti-globalization stuff
This is the the wingnut stance, isn't it?
This is standard Republic methodology - trying to associate the ravings and actions of evil people with the left. That wingnuts fall for it demonstrate their willingness to accept anything WorldNut Daily or NewsMin or David Brooks tells them.
Jim,
You repeat enough of the evil ravings of the left. We don't need Bin Laden piling on.
I'm sorry liberal bloggers always say the same things...then our enemies say the same thing...I didn't do it.
And you are so clever when you do things like:
change worldnetdaily to worldNUTdaily...and NewsMax to NewsMIN...
After doing things like that, showing such a massive amount of intelligence, you have obviously won the argument, all hope for
any conservative to respond to that is very low.
Anyone who believes that is Bin Laden on that tape is a complete fool.
"Anyone who believes that is Bin Laden on that tape is a complete fool. "
Hash, I think that you could be right about that. Either that, or the CIA has hired him to do domestic psyops projects for bushco.
Come on....this just sounds like the jumbled hash that we get to laugh at every day,should we actually be referring to real nut jobs doing their daily raving here at this RIGHT ON blog.
I mean, what's with the dye job?
According to their laws, men are not permitted to "Grecian Formula" themselves...
Just compare pics from this vid, the last one, and the one before that...look at the face, the cheekbones, the distance the nose is from the eyes...come on, folks!
"Either that, or the CIA has hired him to do domestic psyops projects for bushco."
Remember the Bush Crime Family's close business and personal ties...they wouldn't even feel compelled to involve the CIA (and are all arrogant enough to believe they could get away with it..)
tin foil hat alert
Why, is John Fund passing by?
NO hash, you are here, that is the reason for the tin foil hat alert.
ooo.. that was a great comeback PCP..
Par for the course.
