From: "Gary Britt" 

What crap.  Was that Harry "we killed the Patriot Act!!!
Yeah!!!!" Reid he was quoting as the sane voice keeping us safe.  Was
that the British Government with far more and wide spread wire tapping
abilities than even Republicans would allow Bush and all without judicial
involvement whatsoever that this putz was bragging on for stopping this
plot?  Wasn't it reported yesterday that NSA communication surveillance
played a significant role in this matter with the NSA picking up and
forwarding to the Brits various surveillance info.

I'm not scared of Bush.  I'm scared of guys like this Putz and those who
think as he does.  Rather than support a return to sanity about the global
war on terror which definitely includes Iraq, he is desperate to make
people afraid NOT of the enemy who wants to melt the skin from our
children's bodies but afraid of Bush.

Its classic liberalism can't deal with the pain and fear transference.
Rather than be concerned about the real bad guys over which they have no
control and therefore feel powerless in their chickenshit thinking to do
anything about, they irrationally transfer their fear to something a *lot*
more friendly and over which they do have some *control*, i.e. their own
elected representatives.  Then in an irony of all ironies, while this putz
is pissing his pants and so panic stricken that he is engaging in all sorts
of irrational psychological defense mechanisms he tries to claim with a
straight face that its not he, not the real bad buys, but Bush and his
supporters that are scared and fear mongering.

Send the putz and those like him to re-education camps.  They'll thank us later.
