Ya gotta love James! He actually made me laugh today, and given the other shit I've been reading and hearing today, that was a feat-and-a-half!
Why is it that no one in the MSM calls out these people on the inherent contradictions in thier point of view?
I can understand how some people who find themselves cohabiting a portion of a Venn diagram with Osama would bristle at the notion that they are on his side, or like him in any way; if he said the sun rose in the East, that doesn't mean that people who accept celestial mechanics are terrorists. Just because he said that Kennedy was killed by the military-industrial complex and the Iraq war is about oil doesn’t mean it's not so. Just because he cites Chomsky doesn't mean Chomsky's wrong. Just because he chides the Democrats for not pulling out of Iraq doesn't mean they shouldn't. Just because he hates Rumsfeld and blames him for everything from Vietnam to the Shah to the unsatisfying Sopranos conclusion doesn't mean that many of us in the West didn't think that episode lacked closure. Just because he says the right things and hates the right people doesn’t mean he's left--er, right. Er, good. He's irrelevant, because there is no terrorist threat, except for the one we created, which we can solve by leaving, but he's also extremely relevant inasmuch as we haven't found him yet, which proves the Administration is incompetent at protecting us from the threat of terrorism--which is a manufactured bogeyman designed to take away our civil liberties. Is it any coincidence that the tape surfaced just as a court struck down that law about that uh, that thing they were doing? I don't think so. As I keep saying every time a court strikes down a provision of the Administration's post 9/11 practices, or a newspaper reveals another element of our secret strategies: we are a hair's breadth away from a fascist state.
Ooooooh, that's right, they are "these people," utterly complicit in the propagandizing of America.
Excuse me while I go puke up my dinner.
