Sound & Fury
Countdown's Keith Olbermann has a Special Comment on the advertising of terrorism. As Crooks & Liars says "This time he takes on the GOP's newest fearmongering ad which quotes Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri superimposed over pictures of explosions with the sound of a ticking bomb in the background. As if that wasn't enough, it's topped off with the cryptic message echoing LBJ's 1960 "Daisy" ad that ran just once: These are the stakes."
As Mark Kleinman of the Reality-Based Community said, in The Masters of Terror:
Make no mistake about it.
There is evil in the world.
There are men who don't care how many innocent people they kill in their lust to seize and hold power.
There are men who hate our freedoms, and want to terrify us into surrendering them.* * * *The same men who ignored the experts and failed to plan for the occupation of Iraq.* * * *The same men who preferred gay-baiting to recruiting Arabic translators.The same men who neglected the need for the FBI to hire counter-terrorism agents who spoke any of the relevant languages.
The same men who have made the Department of Homeland Security a bad joke.
The masters of terror.
Fear them. Fight them.
