Republicans for Fear

Excerpts from the 2004 GOP Convention show how Republicans used fear and chicanery to make the public believe that Iraq was a threat to the US, and that they were somehow connected to 9/11 - politicizing the tragedy for their own gain

Ok look at 1:10 and 2:10, Zell Miller is not even a Republican, who knows how many other Democrats you could have chopped and screwed bits and pieces of their speeches to get them saying terrorist or war 20 times? Why is it such a big deal that Republicans have used these words anyways?  These are all the issues going on in the world, they should be addressed and since they only let you hear the keyword and not the whole sentence who is to say they are using the word in a scare tactic?

But old Zell DID speak at the GOP convention...that is all from the same 3-days. The GOP convention prior to the 04 elections...9/11, terrorists, Iraq and Sadaam was pretty much the campaign as I recall.

Are you in the military? Did you ever serve your country other than being a arm chair liberal? Ive been overseas to the Persian Gulf. I was in the Navy. Iraq was not about oil. Thats what thye said about the first Persian Gulf War. Its an old record, do yourself a favor, do your research. Go back into History. What would the world would have done if we hadn't gotten involved with WWII? Germany would have taken over the world and we'd all live under Nazism. IS that what you wanted?

Gee, not what I hear from my brother, also a Gulf War 1 vet, nor my daughter - currently in Dumbya's Debacle. As to WW2...no comparison. Back then we actually attacked an enemy that was threat, unlike Iraq. Was I military...sorry, tried at one time. Blown ankle.

Its better to shoout Commie, than to stick your head in the sand and pretend that the terrorists are not out there and are waiting to strike again. How can you possibly wht they just tried to in England? Do you want anothere 9/11 to occur again? This is not fear mongering, this is the truth. Wake up and smell the coffins! If Al Gore was in charge on 9/11, we'd would have already submitted to the ragheads.

[delver58]

So if the "war on terror' was so important than why did Dumbya go to Iraq? How about old OBL? Iraq is about oil.

I guess you gained the global perspective on the war and bush's motivives when you were following the orders to blow up a ship in the persian gulf? also what does WW11 have to do with the iraq war, one war was justified and one was not. one had a threat of a nazi take-over and one had no threagh of take over.

ps. dont get me wrong, I greatly respect you for risking your life for this country

[kennan1]

First of all you are a racist. secondly, the iraqi people we are attecking have nothing to do with the terrorists, and by being in Iraq, not only has bush and the republican party personaly created more terrorists and destroyed our world relations, he is continueing to kill indirectly thousands of soldiers and iraqi civilians in a war that is based on a series of lies.

[kennan1]

I can only hope you are kidding...
