1. I don't understand how people can think the hijackers

were from Iraq!

I can almost understand if someone believed there were WMD in Iraq or Saddam had links to al-Qaeda, but I have nowhere ever seen any news organisation say that the 9-11 hijackers were Iraqi!

2. And now you see why 40-something% of Americans back the Gopher King

No matter what he does. And god forbid there is another terrorist attack, the Gopher King will go on the offensive, blaming the Democrats and the New York Times for impeding his progress, and declare that he needs MORE support, and needs a NEW Patriot Act passed.

6. These are the people filled with hate for others who are

*not like they are* They fear anyone who is not a white Christian and they love W whom they believe is a white Christian. They will never identify with Muslims, Arabs or "Liberals" for that matter. They don't want to be told anything that would destroy their world.

3. That same 22%, if faced with George W. Bush publically diddling a 5 year

old boy, would exclaim how Dubya was simply showing his love for the child.

8. What this demonstrates

Of course there are a lot of dumb people out there. But in my opinion, it shows how effective the
Bush/neocon propaganda machine was.

It used to be twice that!

10. I blame the shill media we have for this.

They should be doing their jobs as truth-tellers instead of spewing propaganda put out by the WH.
