DO conservatives like to play the fear Card?

Question

I like how no one mentioned about the possiblity of the JFK attack actually succeeding. Here are some quotes from DHS and experts in the field commenting on the attack
Despite their efforts, the men never obtained any explosives, authorities said.
"Pulling off any bombing of this magnitude would not be easy in today's environment," former U.S. State Department counterterrorism expert Fred Burton said, but added it was difficult to determine without knowing all the facts of the case.
Richard Kuprewicz, a pipeline expert and president of Accufacts Inc., an energy consulting firm that focuses on pipelines and tank farms, said the force of explosion would depend on the amount of fuel under pressure, but it would not travel up and down the line.
"That doesn't mean wackos out there can't do damage and cause a fire, but those explosions and fires are going to be fairly restricted," he said.
Just another case of conservatives trying to play the fear card.

My problem is not with the FBI or the law enforcement personell because they did a good job it is the PR campaign of the President and his cronies to make this into some sort of 9/11 plot that was about to occur eventhough it was not going to happen and also a plot that wouldn't work mainly because there are security mesaures to deal with this type of problem. Remember it doesnt take a terrorist for a fuel tanker to explode, hence why they already have certain safeguards in place to deal with this issue.

Regerugged I know why this would not happen. With pipelines like this if the main tank were to explode or catch fire the pipes that run away from are automatically shut off hence no gas explosion running down the pipeline hence no possible way that thousands upon thousands dying.

Answer 1

Like, the fear of Global Warming?

I thought the Liberals were playing that one...

Man, I shouldn't have canceled my subscription to 'Political Nutjob Monthly"

Answer 2

As a matter of fact, i think exactly the opposite. The Ny Times did not mention it until page 38 because they want to pretend that the war does not exist - believe me, if G-d forbid, anything ever happens, they will be the first to say that the Pres and his staff didn't protect us enough. Tell the world what these terrorists want to do to us. You don't have to become afraid; just vigilant, prepared and cautious. Don't pretend that it doesn't exist. The "fear card" is what the extreme left do with global warming. That has not been proven at all, and even the proofs that it exists doesn't say anything about the future or near future.

Answer 3

It's ALL fear...If your own sense tells you so, then it is...no matter what side of the fence you're on. Do your part from there, and then you make the world a better place. If you question in your own mind ANYTHING, then it is worthy to be met with amend.

Be a voice...

Speak loud...

Peace.

Answer 4

Catching terrorists before they strike is a good thing. Those who say it cannot be done have already forgotten 9/11/01. Terrorists pulled off something most people never even dreamed of. Anyone who says something cannot be done is in effect imposing his own limitations on everyone else. Did you ever hear the saying: "If man were meant to fly, he would have wings?"

Answer 5

No. In my opinion some liberals try to minimize anything about terrorist plots including blaming them being reported on conservatives. Plots should not be considered a liberal or conservative idea because no one wants them.

Answer 6

The Bush Administration has to justify the suspension of civil liberties subsequent to 9/11 every once in a while.

Even though the plan may have not been feasible, they still tout the rounding up of suspects as a blow against terrorism, and a victory of our heightened security, nonetheless.

Answer 7

You mean like the fear that Bush will declare martial law, that I read all the time from the tin-foil hat crowd?

Or the fear that Bush is eliminating all our rights?

Or the fear that Bush is invading our privacy?

But those are actually imaginary fears fueled by the left, as opposed to the very real threat posed by jihadists and other whackos.

Answer 8

We're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here. If you elect cut and run Democrats, we will have terrorists on every block, plotting to kill you! You really need to buy some duct tape to survive the next lethat attack! We are spying on you for your protection to avoid a mushroom cloud smoking gun in your city! You weren't using your civil rights anyway, so what do you care?

Answer 9

Yeah well they had been following these guys for 18 months and they were still in the planning stage. These weren't exactly master criminals. Yet for some reason it was all over the media like they stopped a nuclear bomb from detonating.

No they don't play the fear card why would you think that?

Answer 10

permit me see, Hispanic undocument workers, Black Welfare mothers, cons as purchase weapons and hoard ammunition varieties, i might say if anybody is enjoying the race card with stereotypes, it relatively is you.

Answer 11
