Remember the video tape Bin Ladin released three days before the GE?
I can't remember exactly what he said, but it rattled a lot of people into voting for Bush. I think what he'd said was along the lines of "Whether you live or die depends on the decision you make." I knew on 79 year old woman who had never voted for a Repuke in her life, admit to me that out of fear, she voted for Bush at the last moment. Even Kerry admitted that it hurt him.

Obviously, Bin Ladin got what he wanted. Four more years of Bush. If you're committed to Jihad, you gotta have someone to play with and Bush was his guy.

I'm worried this will happen again and a lot of dumbshits will buy it again. What do you think?

4. I think too many people are on to the manipulation and some media won't buy it
the way they did in 2004. Some media has dug in against the Bush tactics more firmly than they ever showed in 2003-4. Katrina assured that - Obama won't be faced with that same disadvantage Kerry had with most media protecting Bush at every turn from 2001-2006.

5. You mean Fake Osama #2 from the October Surprise 2004 hit single?


Definitely better casting than Fake Osama #1, the short fat guy who didn't resemble Bin Laden in the least.

They did a better job with the makeup this time, but they used the wrong actor. It's less noticeable behind a podium, but when you look at the shoulders you can tell...... This is NOT a man who is 6'5" tall, as the real Osama is.

Or should I say WAS, since Benazir Bhutto admitted that Bin Laden was killed early in 2002. And then Bhutto herself was killed before she could say it again.

8. Very true
And that's why the "It's 3 am" phone call commercial was so chicken-shit for a democratic candidate.

9. The new tape will be of a guy named Obama Hussein
They'll announce that Osama Bin Laden has handed over the reigns to some other whacko named "Obama Hussein". Then they'll show a videotape of the guy, who will proclaim "vote for my Muslim brother in the USA with the same name as me. If you do, 17 virgins will await you in paradise. If you don't then 17 Rodham naggy wives await you in hell forever". The videotape will end with a message that it was produced by "The Truth Will Set You Free" productions, Langley, VA, er, Afghanistan.

Or something like that.
