      Trying to keep America 'not safe', Mr. Breitbart? Brilliantly put.

      Since you yourself raise the point that the Department of Homeland Security did in fact release a report that right wing terrorists were a source of concern, I have a question or two.

      When was the last time a liberal bombed a building, as Timothy McVeigh did?
      When was the last time a liberal assassinated someone, as Dr. Tiller was assassinated?
      Where is your proof that the President, MoveOn, and CAIR are working in concert to prevent American safety?
      How is it that, now that there is a Democrat in the White House, death threats against the holder of that office have risen 300%? Do you think it is liberals who make those threats?

      I don't remember Sarah Palin's rolodex ever being mentioned, so this is likely just spurious partisan hackery on your part. I must admit I'm hardly surprised by the idea.

      But it is mildly humorous how, during the Bush Administration they were called 'foiled attacks' and now that Obama is in office, suddenly they are 'attempted attacks'. That's expedient language if ever I heard it.

      By the way, Mr. Breitbart, where is the unedited video from the Pimp & Ho show? Or, is it no longer relevant now that ACORN has been cleared of any illegal activity, and the only ones still under legal scrutiny are the Pimp & Ho themselves? That circus of yours trying to quietly fold up it's tent and slip out of town under cover of darkness?

        Proof? We don't need no steenking proof! Obama's a Democrat, and that's all the proof we need!

        Now as to Herr Breitbart being a wild-eyed right-wing troll, we have plenty of proof...

        DITTO, Cat, excellent points . .

        What about the 8 republicans who voted against enhanced airport security and who are now vocally b*tching about Mr. Obama not keeping America safe . .

        Lying, hypocrites . .

      Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Cause the best way to get elected to a second term is to get a bunch of Americans killed. Oh wait. That actually worked for Bush.

        True enough, shaggles, but remember: Bush didn't have to worry about being elected. He had people on his side who actually commit voter fraud. Right, Ms. Coulter?

          Thanks for the link to the Huffington Post Cat.

          I guess, if you were Ms Coulter, and you are stumbling out of a bar as the sun is rising on Election Day, it would be just as easy to walk into the nearest polling place instead of travelling to the state where you are actually registered.

          It is not voter fraud, it is convenience.

          Telling that you got a thumbs down for that. Apparently reichswiners don't like being reminded of what real voter fraud is.

          If anyone hasn't noticed, in the coulter thread I posted something about reichswiners posting plans for making bombs the day after the undie bomber was caught. One of the two sites highlighted in the article was Briebarts. Just sayin...

        That actually worked for Bush

        Remember, the claim of the rightys is that Bush was great because no major terrorist attacks happened on our soil, after the single most horrific terrorist attack ever on our soil. It was only with 9/11 as a reference point that the following years can be viewed as Bush keeping us safe.

        Since no major domestic terrorist attack has happened under Obama's presidency, there's really no guidelines to tell us that he's keeping us safe. The logical conclusion is that he's working with CAIR , MoveOn, ACORN and Bill Ayers to make us doubleplus notsafe.

        Is it any wonder these fruit loops have decided to pal around with the John Birch Society ? Will the last sane Republican please close the padded door on your way out?

          Well I wasn't only thinking of terror attacks although there were terror attacks after 9/11 (DC sniper & anthrax letters.) Bush got a bunch of Americans killed by starting a war of choice in Iraq.

            I got you, Shaggles. I was including them all. You'd think Obama would get some credit for escalating war, as more people have been killed, but they won't even give him that as far as "keeping us safe". I guess the war has to be your idea to get the props.

      You know, I only ever hear about moveon.org from right-wingers. Why, especially if they're this all-powerful entity, do I never hear about anything they do from liberals? And I mean never, not even a simple "hey I read an interesting piece from MoveOn about _______". What exactly are they? And what exactly do they do that angers right-wingers so much?

        Oh, they're big on political action. Now I see. I can't think of anything that would more irritate the political movement that doesn't want the majority of people to vote.

          Just like one of the many things ACORN does is register minorities to vote. The Faux Conservatives hate that, and so they edited together a video and got the paltry funding of this community action group cut. Turns out that ACORN didn't do anything illegal, but the Pimp&Ho Show are under investigation. Funny how the worm turns, huh? They treat MoveOn the same, and obviously for some of the same reasons. It's the unspoken yet firmly held belief that only wealthy white Christian males should be in charge of anything.

            Any time the wingnuts can find some dirt on a left wing organization, even if it's a comment from a poster on a website, 30 years old, or something they need to distort, that organization immediately becomes the phantom master of the Democratic Party.

            Any organization will be used to scare the paranoid and ignorant base, but you're right, Cat, if it's a group that includes some that don't look like white Christian rednecks, that's a bonus.

      I think Breitbart is a cyborg built from 50 years in the future sent back in time.

      Wait - America is being made "not safe" by the President because... the language used to describe the event was accurate? As far as I know, no one was actually seriously injured. I think that constitutes an "attempted attack," especially considering what was supposed to happen (i.e., detonation aboard an aircraft). I mean, this guy doesn't even provide a link for that leap of faith, just SHOOM! And he's gone. I need connections!

      i meant sure as an aspiring cosmologist and atheist id probably be stoned to death if im lucky but me pres Obama and all the other liberals are totally onboard with that
      not to mention that many Africans have defected al quida and other groups after finding that some Arab Muslims are as tolerant black Muslims as the KKK grand wizards ie black like Obama

      It must greet people who are bout to enter the studio with a hey this a paranoid right wing zone go nuts the rest of the media doesn't give two craps about what we do.

      This show truly does entertain the best of the best in xenophobic material.
