Dems Accuse GOP of Spinning (really)

Oh my gosh, the Democrats have accused the GOP of politicizing the thwarted airline attack.

The other morning a talk show host use of "politicize", prompting me to ask him the following question: if one expresses his/her passionate belief that islamofascists are a danger to the US and this attack is evidence, is this politicizing or is the accuser actually the politicizer?

Margaret Calson a lefty pundit was scandalized by VP Cheney's use of the attack to criticize Dems's weak antiterrorist stance.

My letter to Calson is as follows:

"Your op-ed, UK Terror Bust..., reminds me of a line from the movie Mash where Radar, during a football game, exclaims, Their ringer has spotted our ringer'.

You have spotted VP Cheney et al. using the terror bust to express their concerns for the safety of this country. I'm aghast.

Spewing your vitriolic claim, regarding Homeland Security, that 'a lamer agency has never existed' is not spin, it's 'speaking truth to power' as Democrats want to say.

And certainly it is not spinning for the Democrats to claim that because the terrorists are Pakistani, Bush is fighting the wrong war in Iraq.

But conversely we Republicans can say because the terrorist are NOT Iraqi, we must have them occupied so they can't commit terrorist acts in the US or England.

Touche.

It's a game Margaret -- don't waste our trees."
