We need more 9/11 attacks to appreciate Bush.

We need more 9/11 attacks to appreciate Bush.
Arkansas GOP chief Dennis Milligan: “At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [September 11], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country.”

I do not follow this fool, he is not a fellow redneck.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:13 pmOops...some truth is beginning to slip through.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:14 pmBut if we get attacked again, then doesn't that mean GW wasn't keeping us safe? Part of the raionale for all the lunacy of the administration is that we haven't been attacked since 9-11. So if a successful attack occurs, what does that do to the raionale?
Besides the fact that this comment is totally repugnant. Why would he think that we 'need' more dead innocent Americans to make the case for killing more innocent people elsewhere?
June 4th, 2007 at 4:15 pmThis is how much Bush is appreciated:
Vermont Secession Movement
June 4th, 2007 at 4:15 pmHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to kiddin' me!!!!!!!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:16 pmIf we had more attacks it would prove the "we are fightign them there so we don't have to fight them here" strategy does not work.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:16 pm"We need more 9/11 attacks to people appreciate Bush." i know the headlines have gotten worse as of late, but this is just horrible.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:16 pm"We need more 9/11 attacks to people appreciate Bush."
This guy is out in the ozone with Bubble-boy Bu$h. Yup. We need more attacks on U.S. soil. That will certainly demonstrate just how effective GDumbya's strategery has been, won't it?
ROTFLMAO at these morons!

June 4th, 2007 at 4:16 pmHi Juan :)
June 4th, 2007 at 4:17 pmAbsolutely, and they can aim that new 9/11 at the white house and we'll truly appreciate things.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:18 pmHello, true. :)
Everything ok? NIce finding you.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:20 pmUh... no.
The American Public will not simply give W a pass on another terrorist attack. We will NOT have another "My Pet Goat" moment. He is supposed to be the one protecting us - and he hasn't had a very impresive record when it comes to his competence.
If there is another terrorist attack it will be due to W's policies.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:22 pmWe need more republican idiots making comments like this.
Lets people see what republicans are truly thinking.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:23 pmWell, at least this guy is honest about Republican values. We ought to affirm him for that, right?
June 4th, 2007 at 4:24 pm"But if we get attacked again, then doesn’t that mean GW wasn’t keeping us safe? Part of the raionale for all the lunacy of the administration is that we haven’t been attacked since 9-11. So if a successful attack occurs, what does that do to the raionale?"
Well you see Crump's Brother if the attacks occurred then we would have a vital reflowering of fearmongering and the cycle of "Keep the Republicans in power" would start anew. It would be the surrender monkey Dems fault that they happened. It would be George the Dim's jingoistic manliness that would confront our nemesis, but god forbid not destroy him.
Can't have that sh*t, this schtick works too well.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:24 pmOy...
True & Juan, get a room.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:24 pmYeah, Bubba! All we need around here is a little more death and mayhem! That will bring the liberals around. Yup!
Um, Bubba.....if you wanna spit that tobacco juice, take it on outside. M'kay? There's a good chunkhead.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:27 pmFool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again'
I think it applies here.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:27 pmThat's treason talk, there, and would most likely embolden the enemy.
NOTHING could happen to make this "naysayer" think that George W. Bush is anything more than a stupid, drunken frat boy puppet President.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:27 pmj swift,
"but god forbid not destroy him."
I hear ya there. Gotta have a boogeymen out there to be scared of to keep the people in line.
Funny how the righties love authoritarian rule.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:28 pmI only said "Hi"! (blushing and cursing at the same time....)
June 4th, 2007 at 4:29 pmTrouble with comments like these is that 30 some odd per cent of Americans believe that this moron is correct; unfortunately these guys have their guy sitting in the big chair at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:30 pmWHAT A DICK!!!!!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:31 pmOy…
True & Juan, get a room.
Comment by Yenta — June 4, 2007 @ 4:24 pm
Ease up Yenta, some people here have become friends. Hello's and such are nice to see spread amongst the troll droppings.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:31 pmsounds like the repukes are getting a bit desperate. they always fall back on creating fear.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:32 pmObviously, Vermont is the trendsetter and on the right track. Since this Federal Government does nothing to protect our borders or enforce our laws, each state needs to carefully consider a secession movement at this point.
This jackass comment regarding the US needing another attack is absolutely indicative of the insanity of the GOP at this point. They're the ones who believe in a "punishing God", too! Any wonder??
June 4th, 2007 at 4:34 pmYikes,
Yenta was just kidding.
She loves to kid us.
:)
June 4th, 2007 at 4:34 pmMore bizzaro world logic from the GOP. I've heard of bush supporters attacking 'the left' or 'liberals' with false accusations of hope for another '9/11', but this is ridiculous.
If another 9/11 attack were to occur, wouldn't EVERYONE appreciate what a f*cking idiot the current president is? Wouldn't a second 'worst terrorist attack on US soil ever' convince the third of Americans still approving how wrong they are?
Good Lord!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:35 pmDennis Milligan: What the americans abhore and certainly DO NOT appreciate is the like of someone like you attempting to fear monger the people into submission. You're one sicko, dude, to even suggest such a horrendous thought. Guess that just goes to show how desperate the Repukes are becoming and how twisted and demented these bigots and fear mongers really are!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:35 pmEase up Yenta, some people here have become friends. Hello’s and such are nice to see spread amongst the troll droppings.
Comment by Yikes
Yenta is a friend. It´s all good.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:35 pmBesides, the fact is that absolutely nothing will resurrect Bush's tenure out of the toilet at this point - fear mongering, attack, or not. He's tanked and is sucking the entire GOP along with him....and away go bubbles down the drain - RotoRooter!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:36 pmConsidering that Chimpy and his thugs probably CAUSED the 9-11 attack, the idea that we need MORE false flag attacks to make us appreciate the Chimp that would be doing them is quite ironic.
This country is going right down the crapper and the Repukes have their hand on the flusher handle.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:37 pmthat roughly 1/3 of americans would follow anything with an air of authority about it. i call them the golden calf people...if it glitters and looks cool follow it.
they'll never scratch the surface to see the base metal underneath the gilt.
it's why the nigerian email con still works after all these years.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:38 pmWhy, oh why do the Republicans hate America so much? Wait, that's a obviously a rhetorical question, so never mind.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:39 pmveritas,
I thought it was very interesting.
2/3 of the way down in the article, it mentions other states with secession committees. It was a surprizing list, that's for sure!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:40 pmEase up Yenta, some people here have become friends. Hello’s and such are nice to see spread amongst the troll droppings.
Comment by Yikes
Heh. Just having a little fun.
aka Yenta. :-)
June 4th, 2007 at 4:41 pmSo, to this man ( Mr. Milligan) it does not matter what happens,how it happens, and what the results are as long as the actions he thinks about and loves to see will generate support for Bush even if 'terrorism' is the mean to do it....
It is just like a police department dreams to see more crimes and people killed so they can be appreciated.
This guy is an idiot, indeed...
June 4th, 2007 at 4:42 pmI hope he does not represent a lot of people.
Another attack would just prove that Chimpy cannot protect us.
Only an ignorant redneck Repuke moron would want another 9-11.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:46 pmHow did Republicans like this guy get so f*cking stupid?
June 4th, 2007 at 4:46 pmI most strongly suggest this be plastered all over the internet. Let's see if it can get into the major news media.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:48 pmPack your bags, we're moving to Vermont! Oops i mean we're immigrating to Vermont!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:48 pmAh shoot. Sorry Yenta and all. I hadn't recognized Yenta and I was pissed with Milligan's dumb ass statement. No excuses though, sorry about that.
I'll try thinking before typing :)
June 4th, 2007 at 4:48 pmOnly an ignorant redneck Repuke moron would want another 9-11.
Comment by Tom3
Or need it...
June 4th, 2007 at 4:48 pmTom3,
That's dangerous territory around TP. :(
They frown upon 9/11 theories. (Although I agree with you 100%.)
It is verboten.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:51 pmI only said “Hiâ€! (blushing and cursing at the same time….)
Comment by trueblue
I think that was a preemptive strike from Yenta. Probably just wishful thinking.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:52 pmEase up Yenta, some people here have become friends. Hello’s and such are nice to see spread amongst the troll droppings.
Comment by Yikes
I think Yenta was just being a yenta.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:53 pmThis guy will probably write the repuke ads in 2008.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:53 pmNo Problem, Yikes.
She's been doing it for a couple of years now!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:55 pm:P
This guy is in big trouble with the Chimpy regime.
He just spilled the beans on the secret plan for 2008.
Right before the elections, Chimpy will have a false flag attack on major US cities with mass casualties. He doesn't care, they didn't vote for him.
Then he can declare martial law and put all "undesirables" in Gitmo.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:56 pmI hope they'll let me immigrate to Vermont. I only have a US passport.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:57 pmSo- if I recommend to Mr. Milligan's office that we start the next attack there, in his lobby- does that make me a Terrorist or a Neocon?
June 4th, 2007 at 4:59 pmI’ll try thinking before typing :)
Comment by Yikes
No worries. I just needed to dust the old girl off, and she can never resist true & Juan. :-D
June 4th, 2007 at 5:00 pmBeing in MA, I'm a hop skip, and a jump!
It's not bad. Good skiing. (If you're into that.)
June 4th, 2007 at 5:01 pmThis is an incredibly outrageous comment. To think that we need to lose more Americans in a terrorist attack so as to increase support for George Bush is the height of partisanship over humanity.
June 4th, 2007 at 5:01 pmNo wonder he supports Bush - he loves the company of fellow morons.
Iraqi Pipeline Company Workers on Strike
Monday June 4th 2007
Iraqi Oil Workers On Strike
Workers from the Iraqi Pipelines Company in Basra are on strike today.
Workers began the strike at 6.30 this morning by shutting two 14"
pipelines carrying oil and gas products inside Iraq.
The strike is over unfulfilled demands tabled by the Iraqi Federation of
Oil Unions (IFOU) - of which the Iraqi Pipelines Union is a member - to
Prime Minister Maliki on May 16th 2007. The 16 demands focus on improved
working conditions, pay, land for homes, a reduction in the national
price of fuel and crucially, inclusion in the Oil Law drafting process.
Prime Minister Maliki agreed to the Federation's demands and established
a committee comprised of Ministry of Oil, IFOU and Southern Oil Company
representatives to implement the demands.
Strike leaders say, if the government does not implement the agreement,
the 48" crude pipeline to Baghdad will be shut.
Further details including a statement from the union tba

Be careful about what you wish for.
June 4th, 2007 at 5:21 pmIf only the citizens of Arkansas would deal with the Milligan moron now in a way that would sway others from thinking of nefarious ways to keep their wagon rolling at the considerable expense of others.
June 4th, 2007 at 6:54 pmShame on that bastard
We should pray we have another 9-11 under 1 and only 1 condition. The White House while Bush/Cheney, Rove, Gonzo, and other loyal Bushies are present. Wipeout! Down with the Evil Empire.
June 4th, 2007 at 7:40 pmTechnodaoist
Let me get this strait bush is not doing a very good job protecting us . is that what you are implying ? well between 1993 and october of 2000 we were safer because Bill Clinton and we had only the terrorist attacks listed below : )
1993
Feb. 26, New York City: bomb exploded in basement garage of World Trade Center, killing 6 and injuring at least 1,040 others. In 1995, militant Islamist Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and 9 others were convicted of conspiracy charges, and in 1998, Ramzi Yousef, believed to have been the mastermind, was convicted of the bombing. Al-Qaeda involvement is suspected.
Nov. 13, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: car bomb exploded at U.S. military headquarters, killing 5 U.S. military servicemen.
1996
June 25, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia: truck bomb exploded outside Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds of others. 13 Saudis and a Lebanese, all alleged members of Islamic militant group Hezbollah, were indicted on charges relating to the attack in June 2001.
1998
Aug. 7, Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: truck bombs exploded almost simultaneously near 2 U.S. embassies, killing 224 (213 in Kenya and 11 in Tanzania) and injuring about 4,500. 4 men connected with al-Qaeda 2 of whom had received training at al-Qaeda camps inside Afghanistan, were convicted of the killings in May 2001 and later sentenced to life in prison. A federal grand jury had indicted 22 men in connection with the attacks, including Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, who remained at large.
2000
Oct. 12, Aden, Yemen: U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole heavily damaged when a small boat loaded with explosives blew up alongside it. 17 sailors killed. Linked to Osama bin Laden, or members of al-Qaeda terrorist network.
eight years of Clinton protecting us and only six attacks in eight years . I feel better about Hillary getting Elected already : )
June 5th, 2007 at 9:49 amWeren't comments like this the basis for Ann Coulter's book "Treason"? Arguing that "Liberals would like to see America attacked again to prove Bush wrong."
Where's Coulter now?
June 5th, 2007 at 9:59 amThat'll be why the rhetoric of right-wing blogs attract and never discourage 9/11 conspiracy theorists who, with actual evidence, findings, prosecutions and confessions to the contrary, nevertheless blame the US for killing 3000 of it's own citzens for no apparent reason.
June 5th, 2007 at 10:01 amOh wait, that's you guys.
mugsy are you saying that you have read one of Ann Coulter's books ? Shame on You .
June 5th, 2007 at 10:05 amI think he was saying that he hasn't read any of the comments on this page of the type he was referring to.
June 5th, 2007 at 10:08 amI don't think that guy was saying that we needed another 911 but rather implying that it would take another 911 before you liberals would decide that this country is in need of defending but I think he was wrong , again we were attacked 6 times in 8 years when Clinton was our pathetic commander in chief
June 5th, 2007 at 10:08 amABCNEWS/WASH POST POLL: Dems Lose Their Edge; Congressional Approval Ratings Return to Pre-Election Levels...

June 5th, 2007 at 10:20 amHas anybody besides me noticed how these terrorist attacks that are being foiled are in Blue States ? Like the one just stopped at JFK international ? like Michael Moore Cheeseburgers said why not in a Red State that supported bush in the 2000 and 2004 elections ?
June 5th, 2007 at 10:30 amTerror attacks fill the wants and dreams of Republican minds like they were kids inside of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
June 5th, 2007 at 10:39 amComment by Attack Us Please!!! Redstate 2008 your statement could only come from a liberal demwit
June 5th, 2007 at 11:32 amWhat we need is a big strong republican like Reagan, who ran away like a little girl when barracks were attacked in Beirut. Instead of fighting and showing terrorists we wouldn't take it, he ran and showed them Americans - dem and pub - are pussies.
June 6th, 2007 at 8:52 pmTerror attacks are real and will not go away for a while. What we are doing now in Iraq will eventually be appreciated after years when people will look back on what was really accomplished: death of many Islamic radical leaders who could have caused problems in the future.
June 8th, 2007 at 9:39 amDennis Milligan hopes Americans are attacked by terrorists again so we can appreciate Bush? What if the terrorists pick a target one of his family members just happens to be in, or near that day? Is wishing an attack that would cause the death of his fellow Americans, fellow human beings worth loyalty to your party/president? I am deeply ashamed of the hate and hysteria that 9/11, the Iraq war, and party/presidential loyalty has inspired in the citizens of this country. I am so saddened to see my fellow citizens being thrilled in a frighteningly blood thirsty way that Bush vetoed the bill for a deadline to withdraw troops from Iraq. I am sickened and saddened at how easily Americans are stirred to hatred and prejudice. I am appalled at how un-educated Americans really are when it comes to knowledge of the constitution and our rights. And I am sickened and saddened at how easily Americans are turning against each other and accusing those who are against the war of being terrorists or sympathizing with terrorists. It's so sad that Americans are too ignorant to be able to have intelligent discussions or debates regarding why they are for the war, or against it without resorting to calling names and accusing their fellow citizens of being traitors. Look what this president, and the republican party has inspired in this country! Sick, blood thirty party loyality that makes people happy that there is no end in sight to this nonsensical war which means more and more of our soldiers will die or be maimed, and it inspired a satan worship-like fervor in Dennis Milligan that makes him want to sacrifice the lives Americans to his dark lord and master President Bush so Americans can appreciate him. Shameful!
