| Kerry: Rantisi Killing was Justified |
| 2004-04-19 |
| Kerry: Rantisi’s killing was justified By JANINE ZACHARIA Well, there goes the CAIR vote. Wait. What are they gonna do? Vote for Bush? It doesn’t seem to worry Kerry a bit that they might desert to Nader. Apparently, he has finally gotten the message that terror-apologist support costs more votes than it is worth. US Senator John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said on Sunday Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi was justified because Israel "has every right in the world to respond to any act of terror against it." "Hamas is a terrorist, brutal organization," he told NBC’s Meet the Press. "It has had years to make up its mind to take part in a peaceful process. They refuse to ... and I support Israel’s efforts to try to separate itself and to try to be secure." Combined with the public rebuke of Kos "Screw ’em" Zuniga and "Red" Steinke’s "shoot Rumsfeld" ad, this is another sign that the extreme Left’s 35 year reign of dominance in the Democratic Party is coming to an end. At Free Republic, they dismiss this as simple pandering, but the same might be said of any statement that reflects a significant body of voter opinion. This leaves the left-conformist wackos without a home in partisan politics, and makes a violent outburst by that element all the more likely. This "disenfranchisement" (lack of dictatorial power for lefties) will drive them absolutely berserk. The extreme left is not a small noisy fringe element, it is a well-established and well-funded complex of interests, centered on media culture and the academic world. As we have speculated here for some time, they are whipping themselves up for a violent confrontation. The downward spiral of their demented rhetoric must inevitably overcome self-preservation and be translated into action. I will make my prediction again: a second civil war in November if Bush wins, next spring if Kerry wins. Fortunately, it will not be anything like the last one. The rebels will be practically helpless this time and their raging hubris will not compenstate for the lack of weapons and know-how. The far left’s dominance began with a violent uprising, at the Chicago convention in 1968, it will end in a similar but much worse outburst. |

| #13 I see Kerry's using the Clintons' focus group method of deciding policy. Earth to Kerry: Think up your own damn policies; don't ask us what they should be. |

| #11 Anon-w/o-# alqaida or any muslim man has right to kill any american wherever he meets him or her. Lemme see-Hamas leaders, and bin-Laden are supposed to sit cozily (they think), sending dupes and suckers out to kill themselves, and kill and maim others. you bastards can't handle a nation whose people you outnumber by 200 to 1, even with the support of media culture slaves and brain-dead status-seekers the world over. Well said, Atomic C.! |

| #10 Anon, the terrorists are the one who live in fear not us. Their world got a lot smaller since 9/11, financial resources are dwindling, and it’s getting damn hard to get new recruits. Ever see a video of some purported terrorists in some luxurious palace or anything approaching Holiday Inn quality residence? They have even resorted to audio only threats because they either can’t afford it or they sight of their ‘leader’ walking amongst rubble was that exciting to the little Jihadis out there. Do you think Hamas leaders have a moments to rest or do they cringe when they hear helicopters? P.S. We should put a bounty on ALL Hamas, Al Qaida, IJ, whomever and let capitalism take over. Support it with a 1% terror tax. They would be exterminated in about a year. |

| #9 that is true,israel has right to defense itself,and alqaida or any muslim man has right to kill any american wherever he meets him or her. what an idiot - it is not about being a muslim or a christian or jew - it is about self-defense of a state. alqueda is not a state - just supported by states. if the west espoused this mentality then there wouldn't be a muslim country - it would be smoldering ash heap. B - you cannot assume the american people will be so conniving - dem or repub - will not cave to these bastards. |

| #8 Anonymous: alqaida or any muslim man has right to kill any american wherever he meets him or her. Would it be true, in turn, that any non-Muslim has the right to kill any Muslim wherever he meets him or her? Or is the right to randomly kill people of other religions restricted to Muslims? |

| #7 While I hope that GW will sweep it in Nov, I think Spain showed us the danger of underestimating the voting power of idiotarians. Oh I know - we aren't Spain.... but as I've said before, the dead and brain-dead can be expected to vote in mass during the next election. |

| #6 I believe the Democrat party will cease to exist within the next 20 years (hopefully sooner). With the way the Bush-type Republicans are apt to increase entitlement spending and enact programs which used to be bastions of the left (illegal immigrant legislation etc.), they have hijacked the same types of socialist rhetoric that the Dems have been famous for. (the Bush-type "new" Republicans are also soft on the WoT IMO, but they are certainly better than the alternative.) Existing Dems will get on the bandwagon with the "new" Republicans, while the old Republicans will join forces with individual-rights parties like the Libertarians etc., and these will become the prevailing parties in Washington politics. The remaining Dems will go far-Left and join up with |

| #5 Typical, he was against it, but now he is for it. Whose handling this vacuous shell that appears to be a man? |

| #4 Unfortunately, they'll probably still cling to him as "the lesser evil" (read: not Bush) -- it's been why some conservatives are only grudgingly voting Republican ... triangulation and stealing the issues of your doesn't work when they hate you for who you ARE ... |

| #3 Anonymous, you either don't support the vast majority of Muslims in bitching and lying about the deaths of civilians at American hands, or you are a self-professed hypocrite. Thousands of jihadis have received their raisins for sharing your belief about their right to commit wanton murder, and that is only a start. As I said, the terrorist fifth column in this country and in Europe is not immune. But thank you anyway for helping to justify my frequent calls for a global version of Gideon/Phoenix against jihad sympathizers and collaborators. We can do this, you bastards can't handle a nation whose people you outnumber by 200 to 1, even with the support of media culture slaves and brain-dead status-seekers the world over. One last thing, people who actually knew what they were doing (NVA regulars as opposed to movie-slave bullet-catcher jihadis) tried to exercise their presumed right to kill me. I am still here, and many of them are not. John Kerry could say the same, if he wanted to further alienate terror apologist swine as I devoutly hope he does. The game is over, asshat, and you are about to pay the bill, with ruinous interest. |
