That's It

I'm done with you, Republican talking heads.

For those not in the know, I apologize for ruining your morning, but apparently Rudy Giuliani, Mary Matalin, and a few other right-leaning chin-waggers have now claimed that there were no domestic terror attacks during the George W. Bush administration. When asked about 9/11 and the shoe bomber, they have attempted to claim that 9/11 was "inherited" from the Clinton administration.

Horseshit, people. If you want to twist history to claim that the (successful) attack that we have come to call 9/11 was Clinton's fault, then the same should theoretically apply to Obama and this latest (failed) attack. Bush inherited the security forces and regulations set down under previous administrations, and so did Obama. Even if Obama did something to cause the weakening in security, say that; don't claim that Bush had an immaculate record, especially not when the shoe-bomber was found even after the initial crackdown his administration engineered.

"We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term," [former White House Press Secretary Dana] Perino told Fox News last November. [source: above link]

Of course you told Fox News that, you useless piece of shit. Get out of my damn country and stop polluting a perfectly reasonable conservative party with your idiotic, anti-intellectual, public-insulting lies.

If you believe this—if you want to say that Bush was a more successful President in this sense—then okay; that's why we have First Amendment rights. But I have them too, and I want to say a couple of things to you:

First of all, you are wrong. There was a terrorist attack during George W. Bush's first year as President, and sources across the world will back that up. President Bush didn't "inherit" this attack from President Clinton any more than President Obama "inherited" the Christmas Day attack from President Bush. To claim otherwise is historical revisionism, similar to that practiced by a variety of fascist and otherwise oppressive regimes. Like, say, China. Who are communist. Bet that stung to hear, huh?

Second of all, I hate you. You are exactly what's wrong with politics today. This isn't about issues or debate anymore, and it hasn't been for a long time; but this is beyond the fucking pale, people. This is yet more cashing in on the deaths of three thousand people and the fears and pain of countless more, just so a political party can win itself some influence. You are a disgrace to my country and to the vision of its forefathers.

To the "journalists" and "leaders" propagating this statement: If I could make it happen, you would spend every single moment of your lives unable to concentrate, to move, to think, for all the shame you feel at having said this. You should be fired and blacklisted from your professions for this behavior. You're ruining my country. Get out. I want a dialogue between right and left, not this insane cycle of mudslinging and lies that make up the morass of American politics right now. If you are marketing this story as truth, I don't even count you as human anymore. I hope your life consists of perpetual suffering. Especially you, Fox News. I would love it if you and whoever your left-wing equivalent are would go off the air and out of print and disappear. Stop poisoning our minds.

Excuse me. I need to go and do work now. Thanks for interrupting, you mendacious piles of dung.
