Scarborough knows: "Killing won't make headlines"

Killing won't make headlines (Joe Scarborough)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6330851/

What would happen if terrorists launched a killing spree and no one noticed? That's the question the supporters of Zarqawi must have been asking themselves this week between Thursday massacres and Friday prayers. Eighteen civilians were blown up yesterday and the world hardly noticed. Suicide bombings. How 2004.

Like a stale rerun, terror outfits are shooting video of an American contractor begging for his life. But for the terrible personal tragedy of the situation, this senseless crime will have no political impact but to further convince American citizens that the enemies we are fighting in Iraq are subhuman beasts who deserve killing. Who is running the terrorist's public relations campaign these days? Kidnappings, beheadings, car bombings are nothing more than sound and fury signifying nothing. What do these terrorists take Bush for? An Italian PM? He will not be blackmailed. He will not give in. In fact, he will only be helped by further terror attacks and civilian murders.

With every new terror strike, George W. Bush only grows stronger. His enemies are vanquished. Michael Moore and the New York Times editorial page are historically irrelevant. The Democratic Party is in disarray. George Soros is busy planning ways to waste millions of his fortune on Hillary's 2008 loss.

The terrorists may still be killing a handful of Iraqi civilians. But all they are doing is strengthening their enemies in the United States and all of Iraq. It is time for a new strategy. This killing thing just isn't making headlines anymore.



MORE ON KILLING FROM "CONGRESSMAN JOE"...

1). On Imus' Show, Joe Scarborough Laughed about Dead Staffer

From the Daily Dystopian blog: "Conservative MSNBC news host Joe Scarborough was a guest on MSNBC's Imus show last Thursday, May 29. In complementing Scarborough on his sense of humor, Imus said, 'Don't be afraid to be funny, because you are funny. I asked you why you aren't in Congress. You said that you had sex with the intern and then you had to kill her.' To which Scarborough laughed, 'Yeah, ha, ha ha, well, what are you gonna do?'" As the Political Amazon (politicalamazon.com) wrote us, Lori "Klausutis is the Scarborough intern who was found dead in Scarborough's Fort Walton Beach office on July 21, 2001. At the same time that cable news shows on Fox and MSNBC were hounding Democratic Rep. Gary Condit over the disappearance of Chandra Levy... Scarborough appears to have been granted a free pass... Regardless of whether Scarborough actually murdered Lori Klaustis, his casual joking about her death is inexcusable." Send complaints to viewerservices@msnbc.com

2). Mystery Surrounding Death of Scarborough (R-FL) Aide Lori Klausutis Deepens

"Six days after the 28-year-old aide to U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough was found dead inside the congressman's Fort Walton Beach office, local police are still waiting to learn how and why Klausutis died. 'We are waiting on a report from the medical examiner,' said Fort Walton Beach Police Chief Steve Hogue. Berkland said last Saturday that he would likely be able to announce the cause of Klausutis' death by Wednesday, after receiving the results of blood toxicology tests. But Berkland was out of town for a conference on Wednesday. On Thursday, even though assistants in Berkland's Fort Walton Beach and Pensacola offices said he had returned to the area, Berkland did not return repeated telephone calls." Why has this story received NO coverage from all-Condit-all-the-time networks? Could it be because Scarborough is a Republican? Start calling and writing the media to demand coverage of the death of Lori Klausutis!

1. I always thought that, for Joe Scarborough, 9-11 was a lucky break.
The admittedly meager spotlight that was cast on the death of Lori Klausutis went out forever, on that day.
