In a fiendishly obscene essay, Professor Shahid Alam of Northeastern University portrays the mass-murdering thugs of 9/11 as heroes on the order of the American patriots of Lexington and Concord.
Michael Moore then picks up on this theme:
"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win....I oppose the U.N. or anyone else risking the lives of their citizens to extract us from our debacle...the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end."

I hope there is a special place reserved in hell for Michael Moore.

As much as I detest the things M.Moore says in that quote, I am partly glad his degenerate nature is on display and that it is hailed by the leftist kooks. Now we know who and what they really are.

Three years ago, there was a brief but loudly heralded play about the assasination of the President. Now we have the movie. Meanwhile, Michael Moore celebrates the terrorists and death and destruction they would bring to the US and western civilization if they were allowed to do so.
Those on the left tell us that they are not deranged, but I don't recall any of the usual leftist suspects here, or elsewhere, condemning the remarks of Moore, or in any way distancing themselves from obscene notion of murdering a sitting President.
Don Myers? Puzzlefeet? WOOF and the rest? Not a peep of criticism for the demented Moore from any of them. What a surprise!

Well, World War II was a much more popular war than Iraq, so its not a fair comparison. Most Americans, including Republicans, wanted to fight the Nazis, so it wasn't an issue - just like how now most Americans, including Democrats, want to fight in Afghanistan, so its not an issue.
Of course, that's no excuse for a lot of the crap propaganda the extreme left has brought out, especially with the 9/11 conspiracy theories.
Personally, I think that Western Civilization is strong enough that it won't collapse even if the Democrats are elected and pull out of Iraq.

Is this an anti-war statement? Look how INTOLERATE MM really is. When terrorists attack we must show restraint and understand their hate for us. When we defend our liberty we "must now sacrifice their (American) children".
Does this guy have a soul? According to his statement he believes in a God who might forgive America if we just die enough and bleed enough. He sounds like an Islamic terrorist.

I agree Adam. And not all the 'critiques' from the Democrats are unfair or unhelpful. But all in all, showing a disunited face to the enemy is always a bad idea.

An unprincipled president might be able to use that to his advantage, you think?

Ken,
well done.
The left gets so frustrated and sometimes even discouraged by the our rhetorical criticism of their patriotism, and dissent. Yet, these same liberals can't seem to understand how the troops could possibly be demoralized by their relentless opposition, criticism and complaints directed at their efforts.

Good thing we don't have one of those right now.

And why would it take an unprincipled president to do so? What is unprinicpled about pointing out that one's opponents regard partisan advantage as more important than national security?
I would think a principled president would be obliged to point out why he believes that nation's security is more important than do his opponents.

Let's hope we never have to find that out. That would only be the beginning of the damage, btw.

Adam War is never "popular." War is the worst imaginabale cruelty, and it can't be refined. It is a major sacrifice to secure peace. You talk about it as if you're answering a question on a game show.
After Jones became a Muslim and changed his name to Amiri Baraka, meaning "Blessed prince." As Amiri Baraka, his literary and academic careers continued to thrive even as his ideological poisons took full possession of his writing. His 1969 poem "Black Art," reads, in part:
"Poems are bullshit unless they are teeth or trees...we want poems like fists beating niggers out of jocks, or dagger poems in the slimy bellies of the owner-Jews. Black poems to smear on girdle-mamma mulatto bitches whose brains are red jelly stuck between ‘lizabeth Taylor's toes. Stinking whores! We want poems that kill. Assassin poems. Poems that shoot guns, Poems that wrestle cops into alleys and take their weapons leaving them dead with tongues pulled out and sent to Ireland."
This same poem later celebrates "cracking steel knuckles in a Jew-lady's mouth." Another Baraka poem, "Black People," descends even further into venomous racism:
"The white man owes you anything you want, even his life. All the stores will open if you say the magic words. The magic words are: up against the wall mother-fucker this is a stick-up!....Let's get together and kill him my man."
In another poem, Baraka writes, "rape the white girls. Rape their fathers, Cut the mother's throats."
