Of course I'm talking about the questions from Republicans coyly asking if Democrats are happy about the support from bin Laden and Castro.
Maybe the Democrats have better common sense. I continue to be amazed by the tendency of Republicans to hang on every word uttered by terrorists like bin Laden or dictators like Castro. They speak and the Republicans jump. Do the Republicans think so much of these guys that they value their opinion so highly? I'd hate to think that's true. I'll just continue to believe the obvious. That they will use anything, even the opinions of terrorists and dictators, to throw mud at their fellow Americans. That's bad enough without imagining they actually hold bin Laden's or Castro's opinion in high regard.
Does anyone else find this not only annoying, but shameful?
I'm not even a Democrat and I think it's just sad.

I should have said SOME Republicans, but you are the exact sort I'm talking about. I'm not a liberal Skippy. Just someone who has observed this phenomenon lately. I think it's revolting, and it makes me sick every time I see these sort of smear tactics from SOME Republicans.

Not so smart dude. If you can't tell the difference between Castro threatening the United States and him making predictions about our elections then perhaps you aren't quite as smart as you think you are. One is something we have to take action over - the other is nothing but playing with Americans heads while he giggles behind his beard. And yet SOME people, like yourself, can't seem to tell the difference of when to pay attention and when to thumb your nose at him and forget what he said 2 seconds after he said it. Instead, it's good fodder to poke the Democrats with, so you make a big deal out of it.
It IS shameful and it IS b.s. that SOME Republicans have so perfected the art of smearing that they don't even recognize it for what it is anymore - just nasty attacks against fellow Americans using inane comments from our enemies to do so.

LOL its a failed attempt at associating people with regimes and ideas that are generally considered bad. Castro was something to someone so very long ago that no one cares anymore. The failure of the Communist threat to materialize is likely central to this issue. The fact that big business loves China, and Vietnam further complicates the association.
Bush himself has deleted the validity of Bin Ladin as a consideration. He has stated on multiple occasions that hes not a priority etc. They resurect the boogyman at their own peril.

Saw a news feature just tonight that showed that whenever Bin Laden does his video thing, voters tilt right. It's what Bin Laden is counting on.
As for Castro, that one's just ridiculous. Republicans are in Fantasy Land to think that Castro has the affect that Bin Laden has.

dude. I'm a lifelong republican,and I think Castro's statements are significant, just like kennedy did. to ignore the statements of an enemy that would saw your head off while you are screaming for mercy & then distribute the VIDEO makes me find yor glib attitude not only annoying but shameful. I can only hope in the future- when you are the Americo =Islamisist district turncoat ,I"ii have a round or 2 left

Republican do not care about the opinions of those people unless the information will help us defend our country better.
Republicans call names for the exact same reason that democrats call republicans names like Nazi's and little Hitler's.
Frustration and paybacks.

Same reason that you bask in the glory of every Republican fall from grace like Craig and Foley. It makes your opponent look bad.
Nice job though painting all Republicans with the idiot fringe brush.

It's the Democrats that try and suck up to the people that want to kill us all.....
I'm not Republican or Democrat but it seriously looks like, from an Unbiased point of view, the democrats suck up to other countries that hate the U.S while the Republicans want to just continue being America and saying, "Screw You" to countries that have a problem with us.
Both aren't necessarily good but it's the Democrats that want us to stop killing the radical Muslims that want us all to convert to Islam or they'll slit our throats.

You must have us confused for the Democrats. There sure ain't any other political party infested with such hatred for its country and people.
