Bob Cesca: Republican Hypocrisy on Terrorism Reaches New Levels of Awful

Needless to say, Cheney is well-qualified to take an authoritative posture when it comes to terrorism. After all, he and his little buddy “kept us safe” from terrorist attacks for eight years, right? Other than the worst terrorist attack in American history, of course, along with the Anthrax Attacks, the Beltway Snipers, the thousands of terrorist attacks on our contractors and soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the attacks on our allies in London and Madrid, Cheney did a fine job keeping us safe…. Good job, Mr. Cheney!

Thanks again for telling it like it is Bob!

In the aftermath of the successful and terrible 9/11 attacks, Bush’s approval ratings shot up to 90 percent. Democrats and Republicans rallied around the president in defiance against violent religious extremism. Meanwhile, President Obama has just presided over a failed terrorist attack in which a Qaeda-doof botched a crotch rocket — the airplane landed on time and there were minimal injuries. The hijacker is still alive and is talking like Chatty Cathy doll. Yet President Obama is somehow targeted by the right as an utter failure because of it. Now imagine if there had been an attack even close to the scope of the 9/11 hijackings.

In other words, preside over the biggest terrorist attack in American history and it’s an EPIC WIN for President Bush. Preside over a failed attack and it’s an EPIC FAIL for President Obama.

Fox And Friends To Obama: Quit It With Your Big Words Like ‘Allegedly’ (VIDEO) | TPM LiveWire

You know, if FAUXNews was some operation out of some small town on the Plains, you’d feel bad for them saying stupid shit like this. Instead, one of our biggest media companies has a problem with him because he speaks actual English instead of the Hooked-on-Phonics crap they trade in.

Seriously, how freaking stupid can Republicans be? First they spend millions and decades on trying to force everyone (except Southerners) to speak English. Now that we finally have a president again who can speak it, they don’t understand what he’s saying.

Morons.

Retirees Flock to Mexico for the Sun and the Health Care | PBS NewsHour | Dec. 28, 2009 | PBS

Thousands of Americans are increasingly traveling to resort towns like Puerto Vallarta, in Mexico, not for vacation, but for the cheap health care. In many cases, reports Ray Suarez, for care they couldn’t afford in the United States.

Yep, those damn illegal Americans stealing health care from the Mexicans. The story here if the embedded video isn’t working.

‘Country First’ empty rhetoric for GOP | Las Vegas Sun

Man, did I need a good laugh this morning and this editorial brings it. Not the editorial itself, I totally agree, but the wingnut commenters.

Damn, people are stupid. Comparing Bush’s overreaction to 9/11 to Obama’s (correct) assessment that this was one loon on one plane, carry on. Another commenter wisely pointed out:

“An idiot boards a plane in Amsterdam, and just before landing here sets himself on fire. According to larryvegas, it’s Obamas fault. More of the crazy tin foil, skull cap, very far right wing propaganda. George W. gets his daily briefing, learns there is a imenent attack planned, goes on vacation, and we have 9/11. Can you really compare the two incidents?”
