Further, if you Dems continue comparing Conservatives to people like So Damn Insane and McVeigh, you are going to lose a lot more elections. The American people are aware that McVeigh was NOT what Clinton , et al tried to paint him as. He was a terrorist who apparently trained in an Al Qaeda camp in Northern OK. Comparing us to the other guy will only cause great anger. After all, McDermitt and Bonoir were Dems, NOT Republicans or Conservatives. Jackson is also a Dem. What else is there to say? Daschle even seems to have adapted the old saying popular among the Arabs..."The enemy of my enemy is my friend.".
JFK would have had certain Dems disappeared, and that would have been that; but then, he was a different sort of Democrat. I noticed that they didn't even try to use his memory in this election. Wonder why? Could it be because he was closer to being a Conservative than a 'Progressive'?

What possible difference would the fact that McVeigh took aid from al Qaida make on what McVeigh was? CNN interviewed a writer yesterday who has an article in this month's "Vanity Fair"(?) suggesting that there is a series of South American al Qaida training camps, and that individuals from organizations such as the Aryan Nation and the Michigan Militia have trained there. I haven't read it yet, but I will before today is out.
You spew out baseless bullshit about Dashcle adopting the old saying popular among the Arabs..."The enemy of my enemy is my friend." What is your proof that Daschle is an enemy of America, Torone? What does it have to do with the rapidly growing body of evidence pointing to a link between the extreme right - not Bush, not Hatch, not Hassert, but the idiot fringe - and al Qaida?
I'll be the first to admit that when you first suggested a link between Islamic fundamentalism and the likes of McVeigh, I dismissed it outright. I'm starting to wonder if I was correct in doing that. Yet one more classic example of the differences between us - I never hesitate to admit I'm wrong, and I'm always open to learning, even being willing to look at sources of information I pray I can put in a brown paper bag before I leave the store.
I find your attempts to distance McVeigh from the right amusing, yet very telling. Should more evidence be uncovered linking the militias and the Aryans to foreign terrorists, you will undoubtedly try desperately to find some way to turn him around and make a liberal, which will be fun to watch. While I am more than willing to admit there are, or were, thoroughly dangerous people on the extreme left, you seem to deny the existence of the extreme right. Why is that? Too close for comfort, perhaps?
Read my lips, Torone ... while I can foam at the mouth in my disagreement with them, I do NOT think that genuine American Conservatives (including Bush, Hatch, and Hassert) are like Hussein or McVeigh, and I've never said they were. I think there are people on the right posting on this board who are prone to the rhetoric of Hussein or McVeigh - you most prominently, but there are others. I’ve made some pointed remarks to draw out what people mean when they use that rhetoric.
You got a problem that? Deal with it.
