1. But that's not what the GOP issued bumper stickers say
Quite the opposite in fact.

Saying that Kerry will kill them with kind words, while Bush is too stupid, or something to that effect.

The statement tells Americans that Abu Hafs al-Masri supports the re-election of President George W. Bush.

"We are very keen that Bush does not lose the upcoming elections," it said.

Addressing Bush, it said: "We know that a heavyweight operation would destroy your government, and this is what we don't want. We are not going to find a bigger idiot than you." The statement said Abu Hafs al-Masri needs what it called Bush's "idiocy and religious fanaticism" because they would "wake up" the Islamic world. Comparing Bush with his Democratic challenger, Senator John Kerry, the statement tells the president, "Actually, there is no difference between you and Kerry, but Kerry will kill our community, while it is unaware, because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish infidelity and present it to the Arab and Islamic community as civilization."

Do note that this is the splinter group Abu Hafs al-Masri, which took "credit" for the Madrid train bombing, not al-Qaeda per se. Still, Bush* has racked up an endorsement from a fanatic Islamist terror group, while Kerry/Edwards has not.


From Bartcop:


Slightly different translation.
