Boston Globe Smears GOP
My, oh my. What drivel the allow in a supposedly “A-List” newspaper. The Boston Globe’s Peter Canellos felt the need to string together as many snippets of quotes along with a clear lack of thinking to push his belief President Bush and Republican Presidential candidates are misleading the public on Islamist terrorism.
One smear is against Sen. John McCain:
In the May 15 Republican debate in South Carolina, Senator John McCain of Arizona suggested that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden would “follow us home” from Iraq — a comment some viewers may have taken to mean that bin Laden was in Iraq, which he is not.
Canellos doesn’t offer a smidget of evidence that viewers were confused.
Next, on Canellos’ hit list is Rudy Giuliani:
Former New York mayor Rudolph Guiliani asserted, in response to a question about Iraq, that “these people want to follow us here and they have followed us here. Fort Dix happened a week ago. ”
However, none of the six people arrested for allegedly plotting to attack soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey were from Iraq.
Canellos can’t wrap his mind around the fact that “these people” are Islamist terrorists. They have launched attacks on the U.S. from Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Iraq. They would like nothing more than to come to the U.S. and kill as many as possible.
It’s obvious Peter Canellos can’t comprehend the U.S. is in the midst of a war with a radical, religious-based ideology–Islamism. He probably thinks everything would be hunky dory if the U.S. pulled out of Iraq. Heck, he might even be like Rep. Ron Paul and think the U.S. brought this war onto itself through its foreign policy. That would be fine for a dark corner of the internet; such a smear is unacceptable for a newspaper like the Boston Globe.
