Atrios says what many of us wondered, after seeing the RNC’s most recent ad featuring Bin Ladin:
The point of terrorism is, as the name suggests, to terrorize. Not simply to kill and destroy, but to frighten the broader population. It puzzles me why the RNC has found common cause with terrorists in their new ad campaign, and it puzzles me more why they want to highlight the fact that over 5 years after 9/11 George Bush has failed to catch the guy responsible.
And Markos puts an even blunter point on it – “Terrorists and the GOP, in common cause.” And yes, I’ll stand by that.
