Some Americans sorry Cheney survived
'You can never find a competent suicide bomber when you need one'

Some of Dick Cheney's many fierce enemies on the left were unable to withhold their glee today after the vice president escaped an apparent assassination attempt in Afghanistan.

Cheney was unharmed when a suicide bomber attacked the entrance to the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan where he spent the night, killing up to 23 people and wounding 20.

Readers of the Huffington Post, a popular blog run by pundit Arianna Huffington, responded to an Associated Press account of the attack with at least a dozen pages of vitriol before the thread of posts was shut down.

I get tired of being advised we should "watch what we say", lest it offend the fascist, racist pieces of repuke shit.

22. "watch what we say"
"They'll be calling you a radical, liberal, a fanatical criminal."

Another old song becomes relevant again.
Boy, I am so tired of the left being swift boated by jack booted thugs.

Taking a page from Ann Coulter's playbook, how many of them would have to experience a little old fashioned ultra violence before they all retreated from 'journalism' back the the fast food industry?

19. I do not think these posts are representative of the Left
I find such posts reprehensible but loony conservatives, such as Jesse Helms, made similar comments with Bill Clinton. Neither of these fringes (and sometimes I wonder whether these people play both sides) represent their alleged political ideology.

26. If anything had happened to him, it would only garner sympathy
for the boosh cabal.

I don't believe in the death penalty

I want criminals to live long suffering lives

6. SOME Americans?
Haven't they seen Dick's poll numbers? His "fierce enemies" aren't just on the left. And that's only counting the people in this country.

10. My mother, who is very conservative, upon hearing Cheney survived
said: "that's too bad". I asked her who the hell was this woman sitting next to me and she chuckled.

11. What if Cheney had been been killed?
There is the possibility the pukes would have themselves a martyr, a fallen "hero" and their popularity would have gone up, along with the wars. As it stands they look even more like incompetent buffoons. What is worse is that 19 presumably innocent people died.

15. Oh, c'mon, now.
Not even the 30 percent of true believers like Cheney. He'd be a martyr for some of the wackier John Birchers, like that idiot congressman from Georgia that died when the Russians shot down KAL 007, but that's about it.

18. True enough
but I can guarantee the pukes would have tried to play it like that.

24. But he would have to buried in 'secret'...
pictures of coffins/funerals from Iraq/Afghanistan are too disturbing for the 'merican public.

Woo Hoo there would be dancing in the streets....no wait a minute.....that was Baghdad

25. World Nut Daily creates a strawman for the MSM to flay
The theme--Embattled, brave Cheney. Tick-tocking superhero who dodges the bombs of Al-Quaeda while conducting vital American diplomacy abroad.

The "enemies:" Mean lefties making horrible remarks...on the WEB!!!!!!

Package it up, and send it off to the cable news programs...

ANYTHING to distract from the Libby trial, I guess.

Of course, if they wanted to stretch the point past breaking, they'd use the word "disappointment" instead of "glee."

28. Using anonymous online posts to try to prove some ridiculous point is pretty poor journalism
Let's face it, that stuff could have been posted by wingnut trolls anyway.

For them to use that as 'proof' of anything is asinine.

Quite frankly, I'd like to go back in time and see what they were saying about the assassination attempts on Bill Clinton years back.

29. Sean Insannity jumped on the Huffington posts yesterday
on his radio show. He was gleeful about pointing out how much Democrats hate Cheney.

31. I'm glad he didn't get killed
chimp would've appointed someone to fill the Veep spot and they would've had an advantage in running for prez in 2008.
