Here's a logical syllogism for you. Both right wingers (such as Rush Limbauh) and al Queda
want Obama to fail.

Al Queda wants Obama to fail (see recent audio released from al queda leaders)

Right wingers (Tom Tancredo, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity.....list is very long) want Obama to fail.

Therefore, Al Queda and Right wingers are one and the same. Or at least they are close allies.

We've just drawn a stronger connection between al queda and GOP right wingers in this country than the Bushies ever had between al queda and Saddam.

1. But...
... it's still not as strong or as intimate as the connection between the Bush and the Bin Laden families.

2. maybe not. but Bush is tucked away in Texas reading or feeding Barney
or other sundry "Not-in-power" type stuff. We need to show not so bright section of people in America the extremism of right wingers so they will shun and abhor them like they do Sikhs in their community.

3. Al Qaida is right wing
The believe in a social hierarchy; in their case, one that is divinely sanctioned, although other right wing movements, such as the Italian Fascists and German Nazis, have held the supremacy of their favored group to be natural. For the Nazis, the favored group stood apart by racial characteristics, such as being tall, blond, athletic and fair. This led to the joke that the ideal Aryan was as tall as Goebbels, as slim as Goering and as blond as Hitler. Mussolini was much inspired by nineteenth century romantics like Nietzsche and Carlyle, so he exalted the ideal of the warrior hero.

For Osama, the ideal man is a devout Muslim and jihad is a literal struggle with literal enemies. For America's right, the ideal is a devout Christian, much as the late Jerry Falwell held such a person to be. For America's right, this country is not a human project in democratic government but a divine project with a special covenant with God.

Politically, each movement held his ideal as fit to rule over others without the consent of the subjugated.

5. What took you so long? This is exactly what Wanda Sykes
said that had the right wing howling.

6. Yep, the parallel between Rush and bin Laden in the last 24 hours has been ....
.... I dunno the right word part of me wants to say "awesome" and the other part wants to say "stunning." I just hope more of Rush's "fans" see that only he and a few radiacal Islamic elements are criticizing the President and WAKE UP.
