Didn't Bin Laden release a tape as an October surprise in 2004?

It's simultaneously depressing and awe-inspiring to see how a bunch of men with guns can make grown men in charge of the most powerful country in the world quake in their boots.
They can make a bunch of powerless idiots who jump at the shadow of the word "Muslim" terrified, sure. Luckily, Obama is not one of those people.

There's also this:
http://time.com/3999799/mike-huckabee-abortion-rape/

quote:

GOP presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said that he supports the decision to deny an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim in Paraguay.

“I wouldn’t pretend it’s anything other than a terrible tragedy, But let’s not compound the tragedy by taking yet another life,” he said in an interview with Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday.

The victim, an unidentified girl in Paraguay, was raped by her stepfather in a case that has attracted attention worldwide. Laws in the South American country prevented the girl from receiving an abortion.
It would take something pretty bad to dislodge Huckabee after that.

In the continuing story of rolling back post-Bush progressivism because of Muslim terrorists: "[Edward Snowden] has blood on his hands."

So expect more attacks on encryption in the next few years.

There was never going to be a let up on that front, and anybody expecting Snowden to be pardoned is a fool, he will be assassinated when the world forgets about him.

Some Jews wanted to subvert our fine Western democracies with the evils of Communism.

At the risk of stating the painfully obvious, please allow me to remind Facebook that refugees are granted access to a nation, not a state. If state government could control who enters their state, I would immediately require Minnesota to refuse entry to A) anyone who opposes immunizing children, B) people who think the landing on the moon was a hoax and C) anyone responsible for the Vikings trade for Herschel Walker in 1989.

For every one person that clicks that image, checks the date, and realizes it's from before the attack there will fifteen who see it while scrolling Facebook under the headline "Liberal Brit Hates French, Loves Muslims", feel mad about John Oliver and muslims, and keep scrolling. Eventually a sixteenth will break the silence to leave a lovely, racist comment that the other fifteen like a little later.

You'd also have the Trumpstaffel attacking Muslims in the US and ISIS could find itself some more receptive recruits for more US based attacks.
