Which is more ridiculous?

[SHRED]

"They hate us for our freedoms"

Or:

"We are fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here"

[babylonsister]

1. The repug mantra-I am oh so sick of hearing

about how safe we are here, until we're not. Then what will they do?

[TheFarseer]

2. the second one

the first one is an opinion and impossible to be proven false. the second one was proven false by the london bombings.

[TwilightZone]

3. Except that Bush would argue that the London bombings were still

"over there".

[Bluerthanblue]

4. the one that connects

the two statements erroneously, namely that it is 'them' or 'they' that is responsible for what is happening to America.

The 'enemy' is 'us'. as Pogo said. We reap what we sow.

It's a bitter harvest.

[murielm99]

5. You forgot one:

Ask a repuke chickenhawk why isn't over there fighting, and he will say, "I am here fighting the war of ideas."

:puke:

[Stinky The Clown]

6. That's lamest of them all

and I hear it far too often from young people and old timers alike. Chickenhawks all.

[murielm99]

7. I would like a quick comeback to that one.

I don't have one. Any suggestions?

[Telly Savalas]

9. How 'bout:

"Given the plummetting support for Bush's shenanigans it seems you're doing a pretty piss poor fucking job fighting the 'war on ideas'. Perhaps you should get your ass to Iraq and make yourself useful."

[murielm99]

11. Not bad. nt

[dajoki]

8. we want to bring democracy to the middle east

yeah, that means more terrorists. you can't shove it down their throat if they don't want it.

[VPStoltz]

10. Either.

They might hate us for our freedom to babble about the 10 Commandments yet ignore every one of them, but

We have enough Timothy McVeighs, and a growing revolution, right here to deal with already so he might be sort of correct on the second statement.

[liberaliraqvet26]

12. every justifacation of this war...

is more rediculas than the last one
