      Wow, now I know why my kid's step-mom quit being a dittohead this year. She's not my favorite person, but she is intelligent enough to understand that this man is a racist and a liar. It took her a while, but she no longer listens to this jerk.

        The only reason I can figure out why folks watch this dolt is that they are either brain dead or they do it for comic relief. However, I do enjoy the way that Media Matters confronts his lies so easily. Amazing that he has no ability for self correction though. He seems positively retarded with all this "stuff" he spews. But alas, even very conservative folks in my own party are finally figuring out that his blather is NOT helpful to Republicans at all. His comments are so often miles from the truth and that makes Republicans look very bad. Poor thing is to be pittied. He obviously has no moral rudder whatsoever.

      Unbelievable. It's a fact that Obama has executed more drone attacks in the past year than Bush did in his. We've also arrested high level suspects by the dozens. I guess that doesn't count in Rush Slimeballs world. What a complete Do*che

        Obama may have executed more drone attacks against terrorists but George W set the record for executing Americans as governor of Texas.

      So, we've had terrorist attacks? Are the Troglodytes counting the isolated domestic nutcases as "Terrorist Attacks"? Well, of course they are..

        Unintelligent Limbaugh forgets that our worst terrorist attack occured during his boy's administration. Have I asked lately: why does Rush hate America?

        If they are, then we have to count the same isolated incidents when W was President, and they can stop talking about how no attacks took place after 9/11. Of course, totally discounting the fact that Bush was President on that fateful day.

      The score so far is as follows:

      Number of airliners hijacked by terrorists and flown into buildings or fields during Bush's time in office - 4

      Number of airliners hijacked by terrorists and flown into buildings or fields during Obama's time in office - 0

        Haven't you heard, txthinker--Sept 11 was Clinton's fault. You see Bush jr was still transitioning (ie. cutting brush and ignoring warnings) at the time of the attack. It was all Bill's fault.

        I'm sure the trolls will set you straight once they're through nap time at their nursing homes.

          Well, of course nothing was ever Jr. Bush's fault. It was always someone else who mucked up from one end to the other. Of course, I doubt Bush even had enough sense to do much even with an explicit warning. G. W was just silly, that is a fact. Poor thing was president when he was so out of things as to be tragic. He set our party back into the dark ages and it will take us years to live down his stupidity. Of course, Cheney's inserting himself into his "search for a good Vice President" contributed further to the downfall of G. W. Bush. Together, those two despots ruined our party for years to come.

          Gotta love their reasoning.

          These same people who blame Clinton for an attack that came 8 months after leaving office also blame Clinton for the first World Trade Center attack in 1993, which took place one month after he took office.

      Report Says FAA Got 52 Warnings Before 9/11

      Associated Press
      Friday, February 11, 2005; Page A02

      The Federal Aviation Administration received repeated warnings in the months before Sept. 11, 2001, that al Qaeda hoped to attack airlines, according to a previously undisclosed report by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks.

      The report detailed 52 such warnings to FAA leaders between April 1 and Sept. 10, 2001, about the terrorist organization and its leader, Osama bin Laden.

      http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A13203-2005Feb10.html

      The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your a$$, now."

      Why if Obama was so great, he'd be on vacation right now soaking up the sun on Guam and visiting the Great Wall while his security staff warnings are routinely ignored. Why he'd be so great that after a couple of simualtanious terrorist attacks on American soil go down, he'll waltz in with bullhorn and hardhat and declare we won't be defeated. And if Obama was so great, he'd attack an innocent country under the guise that they were responsible for the terrorist attack that occurred when he was reading "Cat in the Hat."
