POLITICS - The Terrorists at Home, the GOP

The following are two links that, in my opinion, prove that we do have terrorists right here in America, the GOP.

First, the Republican National Committee TV ad, These Are The Stakes

"Special Comment: Advertising terrorism" by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC

Everyone should view the full 10min video via this link. The comment begins with....

Tonight, a special comment on the advertising of terrorism – the commercial you have already seen.

It is a distillation of everything this administration and the party in power have tried to do these last five years and six weeks.

It is from the Republican National Committee;

It shows images of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri;

It offers quotes from them—all as a clock ticks ominously in the background.

It concludes with what Zawahiri may or may not have said to a Pakistani journalist as long ago as 2001: His dubious claim that he had purchased “suitcase bombs.”

The quotation is followed (by sheer coincidence no doubt) by an image of a massive explosion.

“These are the stakes,” appears on the screen, quoting exactly from Lyndon Johnson’s infamous nuclear scare commercial from 1964.

“Vote—November 7th.”

......

The dictionary definition of the word “terrorize” is simple and not open to misinterpretation:

• “To fill or overpower with terror; terrify. To coerce by intimidation or fear.”

Note please, that the words “violence” and “death” are missing from that definition.

The key to terror, the key to terrorism, is not the act—but the fear of the act.

That is why bin Laden and his deputies and his imitators are forever putting together videotaped statements and releasing virtual infomercials with dire threats and heart-stopping warnings.

But why is the Republican Party imitating them?

A very, very good question Mr. Olbermann. I have an answer, the GOP is desperate to keep power and they do not care how they do it. They are willing to use Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri as spokesmen for the GOP, to scare Americans into voting GOP.

The GOP has become the lowest of the low and are, in fact, American terrorists.
