Is there ANY difference in the rhetoric of the terrorists and the liberals?

Question

They are both against the Bush administration and say the same hurtful things against this great nation.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, far too many items on their agenda do match up with items on the terrorist agenda. They don't want to wire tap terrorists, they don't want to interrogate terrorists, and apparently they think terrorists should have the same rights as law-abiding American citizens. They have accused Bush of illegally invading a sovereign nation and all manner of other evil, and they have accused America of being a bully and causing all the ills of the world. On some of the more extreme issues, there is a difference, but you're right--FAR too much of their basic rhetoric sounds identical to that of the terrorists.

Answer 2

You are one scary American. I've read a few of your questions and answered two, including this one. You seem to think that Americans are required to blindly support the decisions of the current administration, especially the President. The citizens of this country not only have the right, but the obligation, to object to a President that is desirous of effecting change to take away our freedoms, not protect them. A President who went into Iraq like a raving lunatic with no dependable intelligence information simply because he was drooling over "getting" Hussein since the day he took office. A President who saw no need for a reconstruction plan, which has resulted in attracting the very terrorists to Iraq that he wrongly claimed were there in the first place. A President who is so out of touch with his own people and so callous that his legacy will reek with references to the Iraq debacle, Katrina, and attempts to legislate his religious beliefs into our secular Constitution - just to name a few. He is a demogogue of the worst order and more and more Americans are realizing it every day. Do you put on blinders every day or do you just listen to Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter and think their ravings are the be all and end all?

By now, you've made the assumption that I'm a liberal. I'm not a liberal, I'm a moderate Independent. I voted for the idiot the first time, but thankfully was wise enough not to the second time. I respect the Office of the Presidency and I served in the military. I am NOT required to respect the despot that currently occupies the office.

Answer 3

Even though I am Republican, I believe there is a great difference, in the terrorists and the Liberals.
I would hate to think that my fellow Americans want me dead.
Maybe the Democrats are ill informed etc... but even they have to live here in the U.S. and do not want to die, at the hands of terrorists,Maybe they both do not like Bush, but for different reasons.
The terrorists want Bush gone because of his policy's against them , and the Dem's want back in office!

Answer 4

Reports of insider trading on 9/11 are false, because the SEC investigated and found only respectable investors who will remain nameless involved, and no terrorists, so the windfall profit-taking was merely, as ever, coincidental.

That heightened security for the World Trade Centre was lifted immediately prior to the attacks illustrates that it always happens when you least expect it.

That Hani Hanjour, the pilot of Flight 77, was so incompetent he could not fly a Cessna in August, but in September managed to fly a 767 at excessive speed into a spiraling, 270-degree descent and a level impact of the first floor of the Pentagon, on the only side that was virtually empty and had been hardened to withstand a terrorist attack, merely demonstrates that people can do almost anything once they set their minds to it.

That none of the flight data recorders were said to be recoverable even though they were located in the tail sections, and that until 9/11, no solid-state recorder in a catastrophic crash had been unrecoverable, shows how there's a first time for everything.

That Mohammed Atta left a uniform, a will, a Koran, his driver's license and a "how to fly planes" video in his rental car at the airport means he had other things on his mind.

The mention of Israelis with links to military-intelligence having been arrested on Sept 11 videotaping and celebrating the attacks, of an Israeli espionage ring surveiling DEA and defense installations and trailing the hijackers, and of a warning of impending attacks delivered to the Israeli company Odigo two hours before the first plane hit, does not deserve a response. That the stories also appeared in publications such as Ha'aretz and Forward is a sad display of self-hatred among certain elements of the Israeli media.

That multiple military wargames and simulations were underway the morning of 9/11 – one simulating the crash of a plane into a building; another, a live-fly simulation of multiple hijackings – and took many interceptors away from the eastern seaboard and confused field commanders as to which was a real hijacked aircraft and which was a hoax, was a bizarre coincidence, but no less a coincidence.

That the National Military Command Center ops director asked a rookie substitute to stand his watch at 8:30 am on Sept. 11 is nothing more than bad timing.

That a recording made Sept 11 of air traffic controllers’ describing what they had witnessed, was destroyed by an FAA official who crushed it in his hand, cut the tape into little pieces and dropped them in different trash cans around the building, is something no doubt that overzealous official wishes he could undo.

That the FBI knew precisely which Florida flight schools to descend upon hours after the attacks should make every American feel safer knowing their federal agents are on the ball.

That a former flight school executive believes the hijackers were "double agents," and says about Atta and associates, "Early on I gleaned that these guys had government protection. They were let into this country for a specific purpose," and was visited by the FBI just four hours after the attacks to intimidate him into silence, proves he's an unreliable witness, for the simple reason there is no conspiracy.

That Jeb Bush was on board an aircraft that removed flight school records to Washington in the middle of the night on Sept 12th demonstrates how seriously the governor takes the issue of national security.

To insinuate evil motive from the mercy flights of bin Laden family members and Saudi royals after 9/11 shows the sickness of the conspiratorial mindset.

Le Figaro’s report in October 2001, known to have originated with French intelligence, that the CIA met Osama bin Laden in a Dubai hospital in July 2001, proves again the perfidy of the French.

That the tape in which bin Laden claims responsibility for the attacks was released by the State Department after having been found providentially by US forces in Afghanistan, and depicts a fattened Osama with a broader face and a flatter nose, proves Osama, and Osama alone, masterminded 9/11.

Answer 5

It is my understanding that most liberals despise George Bush however many terrorists love George Bush... Bush has made them more powerful than most of us ever want to imagine by giving purpose to their cause! Bush has even become a terrorist himself...

Answer 6

I'm still discerning the difference between the propaganda practices of Joseph Goebels and FOX News, Karl Rove, and the White House combined!

Answer 7

Once again a conservative is resorting to lies. Liberals are proud Americans, many of whom have sons and daughters fighting over in Iraq. It is very possible to be against this administration and still be patriotic Americans. Indeed, I think those who protest when they see their freedoms being taken away one by one by the Bush Administration are the most patriotic of all.

Answer 8

Yes, there is PLENTY of difference.

Terrorists and conservatives are totally eye-to-eye. The only, and I do mean ONLY difference between conservatives and terrorists is the religion they follow.

Answer 9

Sigh....a rhetorical question about rhetoric.
How ironic.

Answer 10

well let me see, the Dem's and libs want us to cut and run so do the terrorist. the libs and Dem's use hate and smear, so do the terrorist. the libs and Dem's are opportunist, oh what a surprise so are the terrorist. the facts point to NO.
