Like Dick, like Newt

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Yet more reckless and malicious fearmongering from one of the leaders of the Republican insurgency against Obama (and America):

Dick Cheney is clearly right in saying that between the court decisions about terrorists and the administration actions, the United States is running greater risks of getting attacked than we were under President Bush,

said Newt yesterday, as reported by Politico.

In other words: A vote for Obama is a vote for the terrorists, a vote for another terrorist attack. I'm so fucking tired of this nonsense, but, these days, it's pretty much all the Republicans have in their arsenal, such rhetorical terrorists have they become -- is it not an act of terror to try to terrify Americans by tying their president to the possibility, if not the likelihood, of another terrorist attack?

(I can't be bothered to comment further on Newt's attack. For my response to Dick's fearmongering, see here.)
