LEFTIES ALL SOUND THE SAME

The NYT’s David Brooks on Osama’s latest message:

You read this thing, and it’s like he’s been sitting around reading lefty blogs, and he’s one of these childish people posting rants at the bottom the page, you know, Noam Chomsky and all this stuff.

You can’t help read it and not laugh at it, occasionally, because it is just absurd. It’s flying this way, and that way, weird conspiracy theories, and mortgages, global warming. He throws it all in there.

Actually, given how extensive and incoherent is Osama’s list of grievances, it’s more like he’s been writing a lefty blog.

  1. Has anyone actually seen Jim Ryan?

  2. Chomsky and his followers always whine about how he can’t get his airs viewed—I mean his views aired—in the big media.

    Hey, you’re getting lots of media attention this week, Noam-boy!  How are you likin’ it?

  3. I say we take them on… and show how their policies have made bin Laden a hero and a big business. And maybe challenge them on why we haven’t gotten bin Laden… because a dead bin Laden is bad for Halliburton’s business.

    David Brooks is right. OBL does sound like a lefty blog, just like the lefty blog quoted. Only it’s not funny, not even in a black humour sort of way, it’s just tragic.

  4. Funny how the left aren’t bleating about the ‘conversion’ aspect. Imagine the outcry if a Christian Senator from the US muttered something about the need to convert to Christianity or die.

    sittin’ in a tree.

    K-I-S-S-I-N-G…

    Bet Noam looks at pix of Osama and says, “I’d hit that.”

  8. Bin Luncheon urges US to embrace Islamb the dumb dumb religion.

    He brags about altering the course of U.S. history and warns that the only way to end the war in Iraq is for Americans to convert to Islam.

  10. My favourite commentary on the latest OBL video has come from Manolo The Shoe Blogger.

    Money quote:

    What you need now, Osama, is the complete makeover, something that will render you more acceptable to the majority of society.

    If you send the Manolo your current address, the Manolo can have some friends deliver to you the special 1000-pound, laser-guided makeover package.

    Trust the Manolo, you’ll never look better.

  17. Re #11, IT, I was wondering if maybe OBL has been reading Larvatus Prodeo.  Or maybe watching The View.

  18. Well Osama bin Garbage & Chomsky both hate Jews. Thus, there is a dilemma as they will both have to decide who kill Noam first - Osama or Noam?

  19. #15 He’s a moonbat Hucbald.

    Essentially Beattie is a leftie who overstayed his welcome so much that only the incompetence of the conservative opposition has kept him in office.

  20. More talking points for Osama.

  21. I don’t think it is funny, nor do I think it is tragic.  I think it is outrageous.  I’m up to my eyeballs with those who side with the enemy.  There is nothing right about it.  They are traitors.

    The crudity of the propaganda coming out of the caves ought to offer nothing but giggles and knee-slaps, but the views of too many on the left are indistinguishable from the cave drawings. 

    As an aside:  The fact that we have so many in the population whose rational faculty has been incapacitated, makes an argument for suing the government schools.  Since that would mean suing ourselves as tax payers, I suggest we just shut them down and throw education into the market, where it belongs.  There is damned little that could be worse that what we are supporting right now. Only fools pay people to destroy their lives—and the lives of the children put in their care.  Could they get away with it if it were not for government force?

  22. Oh my God! Margo Kingston is Osama Bin Laden!

    I thought her beard was looking a little trimmed the last time I saw her.

    Posted by Brian on 2007 09 10 at 03:59 AM • permalink

  23. When I heard Bin Laden’s rant, I thought to myself, he sounds like he’s been watching the latest anti-American schlockumentaries from Europe on SBS.

  24. At first I thought it was Margo Kingston on that video. But, nah, she’s got more facial hair.

  25. From this evidence I suggest that Americans looking for OBL start looking at those working for the BBC.

  28. This SURELY will give the Left, something to salivate over….

    JERUSALEM —  In a case that would seem unthinkable in the Jewish state, police on Sunday said they’ve cracked a cell of young Israeli neo-Nazis accused in a string of attacks on foreign workers, religious Jews, drug addicts and gays.

  30. Steyn takes the flail to USA litigiousness:
    “As Andrew McCarthy pointed out, a legalistic culture invariably misses the forest for the trees. Senator Craig should know that what matters is not whether an artful lawyer can get him off on a technicality but whether the public thinks he trawls for anonymous sex in public bathrooms. Likewise, those 9/11 families should know that, if you want your child’s death that morning to have meaning, what matters is not whether you hound Boeing into admitting liability but whether you insist that the movement that murdered your daughter is hunted down and the sustaining ideological virus that led thousands of others to dance up and down in the streets cheering her death is expunged from the earth.”

  31. Oh, I just love seeing terrorist-sympathising leftard types getting bitch-slapped!

    Read the comments to this turgid piece of “reporting”, and wonder (like me) whether Kate Bates felt the cluebat hit or not.

  32. You won’t believe this site, either.

    All the leftards are falling over themselves trying to prove that the latest Bin Laden video is a FAKE.

    It’s a Karl Rove plot - he’s stolen all of their talking points!

  34. I’ve read that Osama’s videotapes are really aimed at potential recruits for jihad, not the American public.  It’s pretty clear he’s out of touch even with them, because what self-loathing, rage-filled young potential killer wants to align himself with a rambling old man in a fake clown beard?

    I still think it’s a ringer anyway, and Osama is pushing up poppies in Dungheapistan.

  35. It seems increasingly clear that we’ve been wasting time searching for Osama all this time in Waziristan, when he’s obviously been hangin’ in Berkeley.  Start checking the coffee houses on campus, I say.

    It probably IS a fake: old video with a new audio track… and it probably isn’t even Osama’s voice, but an imposter. Possibly a son, who’d sound very much like him without even trying to.

    Those guys are likely correct, but not the way they think they are.

  37. He may be alive and he may not.  I don’t guess anymore.  I thought he was pushing up daisycutters after Tora Bora when he didn’t show up for three years, since I judged his vanity too gigantic to resist showing off that long.  Turned out I was wrong.

    I think getting Zawahiri may be more important, except in a symbolic way.  Zawahiri is, I think, the brains of the outfit.  He’s Jeeves to Osama’s Bertie Wooster.

    If I was a leftard the similarity between my tallking points and Osama’s would disturb me, especially if I was a Democrat running for office in the USA in 2008.  What if the Republicans just put on an ad comparing my views with Osama’s?  The only difference is his call to convert to Islam.  Bad juju.
