I just got this from my super secret source over at Daily Kos; Osama Bin Laden has agreed to post a daily diary over at the founding netroots web site.
Why, you might ask? The master terrorist made clear in the transcript of the soon to be released tape that he agrees 100% with the netroots about the cowardly performance of the Democratic party when it comes to Iraq:
“People of America: the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, after several years of tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven’t made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there.â€
Visit just about any netroots blog and peruse any post since the beginning of the year and you’ll find almost the exact same criticism using pretty much the same words.
Then there’s the “Haliburton angle” brought out by some (not all) lefty bloggers – certainly many other Kos diarists:
According to the transcript, bin Laden says there are two ways to end the war:“The first is from our side, and it is to continue to escalate the killing and fighting against you.”
The second is to do away with the American democratic system of government. “It has now become clear to you and the entire world the impotence of the democratic system and how it plays with the interests of the peoples and their blood by sacrificing soldiers and populations to achieve the interests of the major corporations.”
Sounds like Osama is the perfect lefty revolutionary to me. I’m sure he’d have some insightful things to say about changing our system of government in order to blunt the interests of major corporations.
Maybe Osama and Al Gore can team up to write a climate change entry:
He also speaks to recent issues grabbing headlines in the United States, referring to “the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes…”
Sounds like he could do a duet with John Edwards as well.
And here, Osama gives full rein to Bush Derangement Syndrome:
He says to the American people, “you made one of your greatest mistakes, in that you neither brought to account nor punished those who waged this war, not even the most violent of its murderers, [former Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld…”“You permitted Bush to complete his first term, and stranger still, chose him for a second term, which gave him a clear mandate from you—with your full knowledge and consent—to continue to murder our people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then you claim to be innocent! The innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your sons on the 11th—were I to claim such a thing.”
Bin Laden says President Bush’s words echo “neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Richard Perle.”
At least he kidney punched the 9/11 truthers by taking responsibility for the attack – not that those loons believe him anyway.
But everyone else will recognize the words and phrases – exact phrases – used by lefties from the start of the war. The desire to charge Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld with war crimes. The criticism of the American people for re-electing Bush. And like most of the left, Bin Laden wouldn’t know a “Neo-con” if one came up and bit him in the ass.
Yes, Osama would fit right in with the folks over at Kos. Of course, they’d have to ignore the “religion thing” but I’m sure they’ll make some allowances just so they can grab a leading political personality like Bin Laden.
I can’t wait to see some of the comment threads on those posts…

Yeah, his ‘speech’ sounded like it was written by Howard Dean and the Dem leadership. All the standard talking points were there. Amazing.
6:44 pm
Wow. Absolutely despicable comments.
Anyway-please tell what is the current status of bin Laden with the right: is he still wanted dead or alive or is he of no concern?
7:09 pm
“Sounds like Osama is the perfect lefty revolutionary to me.”
Or If he didnt decide to be a cowardly scum sucking pig murdering bastard, he could have been a Senator.

to coin a phrase ‘right on!’RWN hit the nail on the head with this hilarious commentary. scary though that the netroot moonbats don’t seem to have either the intellectual ability or maturity to recognize what they’ve become

They should have gotten an actor for the video this time that actually looked like Osama. The desperation of the Administration these days is so pitifully obvious.
Got your tin foil hat on nice and tight, Melanie? Good. Wouldn’t want it to fall off and subject you to those thought waves coming from the White House.

[...] I had some fun with this post yesterday, postulating that Osama Bin Laden would feel right at home blogging at Daily Kos. It’s silly, of course. The confluence of interests between radical jihadist kooks like OBL and the Democratic left has more to do with talking points than ideology. Once a Democrat is in the White House in 2008 and the left controls Congress, the leaders of the party (and, presumably, the netroots) will be confronted with the exact same situation that a Republican would be faced with if he should, despite all the signs, win through to victory and grab the presidency.

This is funny, factual, and scary
Especially if the Kos Kids, Puffers, and MoveOn get their way. I noticed yesterday the Kos Kids are very upset with Pelosi and talking about supporting Cindi Sheehan. Wouldn’t that be GREAT??

It’s a shame Bush can’t catch or kill Bin Laden let alone even care where he is (Pakistan).
Bush doesn’t want to catch Bin Laden. He’s such a good boogey man. Funny how Bin Laden’s tapes turn into right wing propaganda.

obl does kinds look like a congressman or senator excluding his choice of outfit. He fits right in with the loons with his speech written by the dem candiates and their party and even the Just For Men beard looks the part.
I, for one have ALWAYS thought obl is dead, think we took his too tall ass out during all the carpet bombing we did and the newest pic looks doctored to me, check out the nose and other differences, just looks fake, but the nutroot words are not FAKE, their sentiments exactley…...

Excellent post.
I understand that you were having a little fun….but there is a lot of truth to your point. OBL’s rant would fit well in the Kos site.

Your lack of reading comprehension is apparently only exceeded by your dearth of common sense. Rick suggested the video might have been faked/doctored, whereas you are apparently 100% convinced this video has been faked and the Bush administration is behind it all. Your quest to find out what really happened is a worthwhile endeavor, however the answers you seek will be found in a good therapist’s office, not on some website which caters to conspiracy Kool-Aid drinkers.
