It's official: conservatives hate America.

[flewellyn]

The things I find online sometimes. Mike Gallagher, a contributor to Town Hall, has posted a blog entry in which he wishes for another terror attack, to shut the liberals up.

A quote:

Seeing Jane Fonda Saturday was enough to make me wish the unthinkable: it will take another terror attack on American soil in order to render these left-leaning crazies irrelevant again. Remember how quiet they were after 9/11? No one dared take them seriously. It was the United States against the terrorist world, just like it should be.

Need I point out how monstrous this is? To wish death on your own fellow citizens, for an attack on American soil, just for political advantage? And how common is this idea? If Mr. Gallagher can wish for someone to burn the Reichstag attack the US again, how many others who call themselves conservatives do, as well?

Then, of course, after declaring open support for attacks on the United States, these people turn around and call liberals traitors, and say we hate America.

He's off message. Remember, it's the liberals who want the terrorists to win, to make George W look bad!

Sometimes they make a mistake and let the truth slip out.

Remember when Dubyah called the War on Terrah a "crusade"?

You win :P

Isn't it crazy? These extremists call US crazy, but they don't seem to stop talking long enough to LISTEN to themselves. That blatent hypocrisy just throws me.

'Remember when Dubyah called the War on Terrah a "crusade"?'

Sigh.

I've been playing this expansion to World of Warcraft called "The Burning Crusade" for weeks! I had no idea that I was really just anti-Muslim!

The word "crusade" is not solely a religious term in the vernacular, and hasn't been for a long time. It's perfectly understandable that someone might not twig to the idea that Muslims would be offended by this use of a term that the speaker wasn't intending to be offensive, and especially so for someone as apparently innocent of historical perspective as GWB.

"These extremists call US crazy, [...]"

Actually, I think the extremists call the US evil.

(Yes, yes, I know. I thought it funny. ;] )

I'm perfectly willing to allow that your average person may not know how triggering the word "crusade" is to the Muslim world. There's nothing wrong with, say, calling that WoW expansion "The Burning Crusade", since it's obviously fiction.

I'm not willing to let someone who is President off for that, however. A person elected to the Presidency should know better! Or be told better!

Well said. These people are afraid of anyone that thinks for he/herself. And their moron in the oval office is a prime example.
