former mayor Ed Koch prefers Chimpie

[Fed Up]

I support the reelection of President George W. Bush. Why? Because I believe one issue overwhelms all others: the President's strong commitment to fight the forces of international terrorism regardless of the cost or how long it takes to achieve victory.


I do not agree with President Bush on a single major domestic issue, but in my view, those issues pale in comparison with the threat of international terrorism. Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the evil poster boys of mass murder, are revered and supported by millions of Muslims throughout the world. The stated goal of al-Qaeda and its supporters is to kill or convert every infidel, and that means Jews, Christians, Buddhists, and everyone else who will not accept Islam's supremacy.

(Later he says nice things about Clinton, trying to act fair and balanced. What a sorry joke Ed has become. And to think I admired him when he was a judge on The People's Court. Hey you jackass, Gore would have prevented 9/11. Chimpie was on vacation.)

3. Down from where? Writiing columns? nt

[Cha]

5. Yes! I hope no one listens to him...I read a little of what

he had to say in New York Mag and he's such a boosh sycophant ..so I think he must be off in his head..really bad...boosh let 9/11 happen on his watch ..wtf doesn't koch know about that?

NYC hates boosh and koch knows that..he's a traitor.

4. I think big head Ed misses being in the public eye.

he has turned into a sad little troll.

[lottie244]

6. Ed Koch is a neocon from the heart.

What's so surprising?

[MisterP]

17. and pork

*choke*

2. The Bush Administration passed up chances to

kill Zarqawi before the Iraq War, because it wanted him alive as a justification for the war.

The Bush Administration also hasn't killed Usama bin Laden, as far as I know.

9. thank you, eric. THREE times they had him in their sites

while he was in the north, and each time they chose not to pull the trigger

does he KNOW that?

not that it would matter

even when I supported him, I always thought he was a glib charlatan; just a snakeoil salesman

now it's become obvious that all he cares about is upon which side his bread is buttered---was going to say matzoh, but would that be considered racist.

or should I just call him a girlyman?

7. Krotch is a Useful Idiot

I understand his points and could almost accept them, but for the Monsters who plunder our nation daily.

[AntiCoup2K4]

8. Fuck Ed Koch in the ass with a chainsaw

fucking traitor :grr:

[mitchum]

16. I understand that Ed has paid good money for that very activity

[dae]

10. Watching Rudy he went stark raving mad. How pathetic can you get!?!

[Leilani]

11. The main priority of Ed Koch is Israel...

Always has been, always will be.

He will suuport whoever does most for Israel, Americans be damned.

And Ed still has not recovered from the fact that Guiliani was a better mayor, & more popular.

[PurityOfEssence]

13. Of course you know you're anti-semitic

(Just thought I'd save anyone else the trouble.)

It's an interesting intersection of influences going on now: some of the fiercest Israel-regardless-of-anything nuts these days are card-carrying Jew-hating Protestant Fundamentalists, and many American Jews are deeply troubled by Sharon and his antics.

It will be interesting what difference is to be found in the Jewish vote this time around, but I trust the overall sense of this culture, and even with the extreme support of Israel and undeniable PNAC grudgefest to peel off traditional enemies of that country, many will stick to their Democratic roots. Kerry is also playing this shrewdly, but in a way that's frustrating too: the problem continues to fester.

I was just teasing with the header, by the way; it's the third rail of American Politics, and it has undue influence on everything we do.

[kodi]

19. yeap, its israel that makes koch's world go round

but, asking him to be honest about it would be unsporting.

[Leilani]

24. No offense! Ha! Ha! Figured someone would post that...

Glad to know you weren t serious.

Politics makes strange bedmates...The nutty fundies & the nutty Likudnik/PNACers deserve each other.

If Kerry is elected, I would hope that he will make getting the Israelis & Palestinians back to peace talks, as an early priority.

[Stuckinthebush]

12. Myopic fool

Yes, Ed Koch is a fool.

Anyone who would believe that GW is good for national security is a fool.

Good thing that Ed has little political clout that matters anymore.

[mitchum]

14. Fuck Ed! Uh, don't get your hopes up Eddie Boy...

it's just a figure of speech.
Koch is a shit-eating lowlife.

[K-W]

15. Ed Kotch supports paranoid irrational defense. Good for him.

Talking point echoing jerk.

[EndElectoral]

18. To say you don't agree on a domestic issue and you'll vote Bush is inane

21. Gene Simmons

Gene Simmons from KISS made the same arguments as to why he supports Bush's re-election. Said he disagrees with Bush on just about everything but that he'll vote for him because of the war on terrorism.

22. I always confuse him with Grandpa Munster (looks not politics!)

during the NYC water shortage in the '70's EggHead appeared on Tom Snyder's 'Tomorrow' show and imparted these pearls of wisdom regarding water conservation :

To flush or Not to flush

If it's yellow let it mellow,
If it's brown flush it down.

HOW AM I DOING???????

23. */Cheney: Sadddam = Osama. Ed Koch: Islam = al-Qaeda.

It must be swell to be a simple-minded right-winger, going through life in total goddamn blissful ignorance, and to see things in such black-and-white, imbecilic clarity while the rest of us dawdle with the broader concepts -- like, "Huh? What the fuck are you talking about?"
