Terrorists strike America with chemical weapons
This past Friday, newspapers in Ohio distributed copies of the Clarion Fund's inflammatory DVD, Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West. Of course, I'm sure that the fact that these DVD's are being distributed in swing states only weeks before the election are simply a coincidence...right.
In any case, the result was that some unknown terrorists sprayed a "chemical irritant" into a mosque full of children in Dayton during a Ramadan prayer service. The article from the Dayton paper seems to downplay the incident, but there's some more extensive coverage over at Daily Kos.
So this is the result of the constant Republican fear-mongering and bigotry we've seen no end to over the past seven years: children attacked with chemical weapons on American soil. It is appalling just how little sense of morality these people truly have. These are innocent children being attacked. But it's not as if the Republicans give a damn, because, hey, there's an election to win and they have to stay in power.
What I want to know is how you McCain and Palin supporters out there--and I know there's quite a few of you reading this--can possibly consider being supportive of a party that's so morally bankrupt that they have no qualms with inflaming the American people against minorities to the point where people are attacking children with chemical weapons. And all to win an election. Power. Greed. To hell with children, to hell with people's lives. I guess this is Republican "family values" for you.
You know what? I hope that when they catch these bastards, the authorities will throw the full weight of our "post-9/11" terrorism laws at them and charge them at the very least with use of a weapon of mass destruction. Come to think of it, maybe we should hold some anti-abortion protesters as enemy combatants too, but that's a topic for another post. If we're going to be tough on terrorists, then let's at least be consistent about it when dealing with the right-wing's own terrorists.
