Bin Laden Tape
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 06:57 AM by LiberalInGeorgia2005
I smell a rat.

I think the CIA confirmed it, because the republicans made it! The way this speech was phrased is too ham-handed even for oafish republican operatives. They made the mistake of including all the objections Americans have to the Iraq war. I know they wanted something quick and elegent to point to that would let them say, "if you oppose the war, you side with Osama," but they're not even trying to make their propaganda credible anymore!

1. The thing that gave it away to me was the bit at the end...
where a voice says "This is Karen Ryan reporting..."

;)

Proving the failure of their own foreign policy helps them how?

8. No Subject
And if it IS indeed Bin Laden, the political hay the partisan Republican media is making with it is shameful hackery. Basically, the outcome is the same whether it's the real Bin Laden or the fake Bin Laden.

9. Yes, the same as they did with the '04 "October Surprise" tape.
In that tape bin Laden said that he LIKES that Bushco is destroying the American economy, but that part didn't appear in MSM transcripts (only in the full transcript at al-Jazeera).

The talking heads then spun it that bin Laden is scared of * and would vote for Kerry.

10. The corporate media
The corporate media is trying to put it's spin on events and times are very serious but the same thing happened in the 60's and an alternative media arose and the truth came out and it forced the corporate media to tell the truth. It also forced corrupt democrats at that time to change or they were voted out.
We need to educate people and the Internet makes it a lot easier.
Times are scarier then people know and the corporate media does it's best to distract us. Look at the way they ignore the impeachment movement.

The real danger is the Supreme Court where Bush is putting on people who believe the president has a basic "inherent Power" over congress and the people. They are taking away democracy.
Bush claims to be above the law and war time powers with this so called "war on terror", which they themselves have told us will last 10 to 20 years and "may not end in our lifetime."
Serious stuff going on.
