Want to see some real projection?

Who does this really describe? From Cheney's speech to the Federalist Society yesterday. This man is insane.

The terrorists have adopted the pretense of an aggrieved party, claiming to represent the powerless against modern imperialists. The fact is they're at war with every development of classical liberalism in the past twelve centuries. They serve an ideology that rejects tolerance and denies freedom of conscience. They would condemn women to servitude, gays to death, minority religions to persecution. An ideology so backward, so violent, so hateful, can take hold only by force or intimidation, and so those who refuse to bow to the tyrants face brutalization or murder -- and no group or person is exempt.

And it is they, the terrorists, who have ambitions of empire. Their goal in the broader Middle East is to seize control of a country, so they have a base from which to launch attacks against governments that refuse to meet their demands. Their ultimate aim -- again, one that they boldly proclaim -- is to establish a caliphate covering a region from Spain, across North Africa, through the Middle East and South Asia, all the way around to Indonesia. They have proclaimed, as well, the goal of arming themselves with chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, to destroy Israel, to intimidate all Western countries, and to cause mass death in the United States. One of the terrorists believed to have planned the 9/11 attacks said he hoped the event would signal the beginning of the end of America. They hate us, they hate our country, they hate the liberties for which we stand. And they hit us first. And we will not sit back and wait to be hit again...

1. Like a kid picking on a smaller kid,

then wailing when the smaller kid retaliates.
"Oh no dear, he did not hit you first. You deserved what you got."

2. Wow! That is pretty damn bald, isn't it.

It's like he's speechifying into a mirror...

[H2O Man]

3. Wow!

It's so obvious that he is describing himself.

[unblock]

4. it's not insane. it's not projection. it's deflection. it's called propaganda

accuse the terrorists of everything you yourself are guilty of, then force people to chose sides.

bush may be insane, but darth cheney KNOWS what he is doing.

5. This always drives me up a wall

when I hear it.
'-- is to establish a caliphate'

I always ask people who spout this nonsense "And just who is the Caliph?"
Most people dont even know what a Caliphat is,much less who the caliph will be.

6. I saw that!

Thats a scary bunch. If anyone is associated with Federalist Society, I would be inclined to automatically vote against them, including Alito or Roberts or other appointees to the SC, although I am not sure if Roberts was a member?

7. Good catch
