Dear Joe,
The Republicans stole another election! There is no way the people in this country are stupid enough to vote for that moron Busch. It had to be the voting machines. You do know that the Dybold company who makes the machines is run by a Bush supporter don't you?
You were robbed! If the media in this country weren't so conservative they would have been on your side. Instead they supported Jeb W. Bush. We need a liberal news network!
And we know those Fastboat veterans were lying about you. You are a genuine war hero. You even indulged in intelligence work when you took that CIA agent up the Mekong River to Thailand. I remember how you told everyone that it was charred in your brain.
I think another reason that Democrats did so poorly in the election, besides voter fraud and the conservative bias of the news networks (They don't call CNN the Conservative News Network for nothing.) is because they didn't use any of the many ideas that I faxed to members of the Democratic Party the past year.
I really fear for the future of this country. All I can say is that I'm sure Helen Clinton will run for president in 2006 and beat anyone the Republicans run against her.
Best to you and your wife Thelma. And tell that cute little guy who ran with you hello for me.
Luv ya,
Babs
LMFAO

Unless that E-Mail is a complete fraud, which is VERY possible...

Posted by: Robert on November 4, 2004 01:14 AMDo u not see what you’ve done here? Four more years of bush running roughshot over international law, making war as he pleases, will bring forth terrorist attacks that I dread to think of them. Your beloved country will become more and more a rogue as country after country is invaded on your petty whims.
You voted for this? Do you not see your savagery, your xenophobia, your stupidity? You voted for more war and bloodshed, more attacks, more savagery, all due to a misguided sense of patriotism.
So let the terrorists come. The more you attack, the more their numbers will swell. There is no brand of human marked terrorist - enrage anybody enough and they will fight. America has enraged many people, and they will come.
You fools. Do you not see you are being manipulated? The release of the bin laden message 5 days before the election was deliberately designed to cause a patriotic fervour, leading more people to vote for bush. I don’t know where that video came from - maybe tora bora, maybe the fox studios - but its effect could have been predicted. It could only inspire patriotic fevour, rather than fear, which would play right into bush's hands. Bush knew this, Kerry knew this, and bin laden knew this. No doubt that video helped win bush the election, as well as his keeping America in a constant state of fear. It was this fear, and his vicious attacks on Kerry, which returned him too the white house, to make more war and ruin America.
I hope you’re proud.
I don't know which is funnier - your "Fax From Babs" or the "comment" from matthew g!!
You're a freakin' genius, mate!

Great! Let's get them all in one place so we can kill them now instead of later.
What the rest of the world has got to learn is we can get along with anyone as long as you don't fuck with us.
Posted by: Ralph Gizzip on November 4, 2004 09:46 AMCat Shit - This is sumpin' known as satire. A few years back Barbra Steisand sent to fax to Dick Gephardt when he was the House minority leader. In the fax she misspelled his name and some other words. I have used my Fax Fron Babs feature as a running joke about that and her cluelessness in general.
Matthew - We don't care what the rest of the world thinks, especially France and Germany. We care about one thing: killing the crazies before they kill us. We do not want another 9/11. Appeasement never works! Had you been alive during World War II you would have lauded Neville Chamberlain as a master diplomat when all he did was push the day of reckoning back to a later date when Hitler had even more power. You have never, ever come up with an alternative solution except doing nothing and hope the terrorists go away. This shit started back when Jimmah Carter, and the rest of the world did nothing when the Iranians violated your precious international law by taking American diplomats hostage.
Now you have finally gone completely over the edge by thinking that somehow the moronic Bush could have gotten Osama bin Laden to make a campaign commercial for him. Are you aware that the parts of the tape that would have helped Bush out were not even released until recently? Osama promised to leave states (That is states as in the United States) alone who voted for Kerry.
Just when I think we might be teaching you how to think rationally you cross over ot Moonbatville.
And yes, I am proud. I am also proud that we have allies like Australia and Great Britain. Sone people realize that this is World War IV. Radical Isalm and Osama bin Laden are not going away.
Posted by: Denny Wilson on November 4, 2004 12:42 PMCat-shit,
When you whine and ask not to to be called cruel names, OSB and his gang thinks, "Just another soft, flabby American for the slaughter."
I get tired of hearing about Bush helping recruit more rag-heads. You need to go to a Madrassa or live in a total dead-end situation (Palestinians) to be motivated (sufficiently indoctrinated) to die for a cause. (Enraged Democrats promise to leave the country, but won't even do that!)
Once you understand that OSB and the gang has a goal, "The world-wide propagation of Islam", it becomes clear that leaving these enraged people alone is not going to cause them to abandon their goal.
So we have got to kill them faster than they can recruit and train them, and so we will drain the swamp. I think our military is doing a much better job than they are allowed to say.
Matthew:
I'm proud.
"Do u not see what you’ve done here?"
I think some of us do.
"Four more years of bush running roughshot over international law,"
I'd say good, but there's no such thing as "international law". Show me where I can obtain a copy of said laws if you want to refute them.
Additionally, if 19 United Nations Security Council Resolutions, and 45 Nations don't count.. What exactly would make you happy?
"will bring forth terrorist attacks that I dread to think of them."
Yes, the taliban is scaring me. As is the spectre of the Iraqi nuclear program.
Wait. Oh, hell, facts, Nevermind.
"Your beloved country will become more and more a rogue as country after country is invaded on your petty whims."
Name one who was invaded pettily. Afghanistan wasn't for months - Iraq for 14 months. That's hardly petty. Or whimish.
Besides, I Don't Care. If you want to side with Osama (who'd kill you), Saddam (who'd kill you), Arafat (who'd kill you if he weren't dead), well, more power to you. For some reason, those aren't the guys I want to talk to.
I don't like Tony Blair. He's a socialist, and he can't see how badly government control screws stuff up. But when it comes to terrorists He Gets It. And for that, I forgive him a lot.
"You voted for this? Do you not see your savagery, your xenophobia, your stupidity?"
Your spelling is doing better. Now you need to work on vocabulary. Savage? We've fought the LEAST bloody campaigns ever, we've taken even more pains - at great financial cost - to NOT be savage. We're, quite the opposite of xenophobes, helping people, expecting them to hold up their end of the bargain. We're hardly scared of the Afghans or Iraqis.
"You voted for more war and bloodshed, more attacks, more savagery, all due to a misguided sense of patriotism."
So, then, explain why we were attacked in 1991 and 2001. Also explain why the planning for 9/11/2001 started in 1995.
"So let the terrorists come. The more you attack, the more their numbers will swell."
They're not "Gremlins". They don't double when you blow them in half. Their recruiting numbers are decreasing markedly, as it becomes more and more obvious that screwing with US troops is a CLM (Career Limiting Move).
"There is no brand of human marked terrorist - enrage anybody enough and they will fight. America has enraged many people, and they will come."
Yes, it's horrible how we're freeing women from slavery. But I'm OK with fighting those who would keep them in chains. Apparently, this includes you.
"I hope you’re proud."
I am. The American People saw past the lies peddled by the media, the fact that Kerry was a lying egomaniac who would be a diaster as president in a time of war.
I'm very proud that the people who are in favor of fascism and dictatorships and slavery and _real_ violations of human decency and dignity (You, Chirac, Arafat, Osama) are upset.
Damn proud. We did good.
Posted by: Addison (the other one) on November 4, 2004 03:33 PMdecency? you call invaading a soverign nation - albeit a dictatorship - decent? you call maiming kids decent, for that is what this war has done. where are the wmd? where is the freedom, in an iraq so rapidly spiraling into civil war. People die every week there from bombings, and beheadings. children die, and you are proud.
Terrorist numbers going down. lmao. lets look atthis statement: it implies someone has done a cencus of a sample population to find out the incidence of terrorists, and compared it to a previous census. For this, one would need a definition of terrorist, wwhich all could agree on. then you would have to see how many people fit that discription. How, exactly, does one spot a terorist? is it like ornithology?
Whatever the definition, terrorists are not gremlins. but it is far too simplistic to think that once you kill them, they will be gone. they aren't black rhino. nor will they have a fixeed army, with a fixed uniform, and nor yet will thy all follow bin laden. the more the u.s invades, the more people will anger, and the more people will fight. We brits angered a few pesky colonials, and they fought us.
As for xenophobia, I'm afraid the charge still stands. Last saturday, driving back from london, I was listening to a debate with a former rebublican partu chairman, who stated that he held 1 in 10 muslims to be terrorists. If tgis isn't xenophobia, or downright faccism, I don't know what is.
dujging from this interview, and other souces, I am now quite convinced that you hav voted for a far-right organisation, some of whose members desire to wipe out the islamic faith. it is an organisation which, despite your pretences to the contrary, has caused far more harm than good. te fact that fundimentalist christianity is at it's core i find frightening.
you do not know what you have donne.
Posted by: matthew g on November 5, 2004 05:10 AMMatthew - When we have maimed as many people as Saddam Hussein then you may presume to lecture us. And I'm still waiting for your solution to terrorism other than doing nothing and begging them not to hurt us. We've tried that. It was a failure. Read this next sentence carefully. Appeasement never works! In his latest tape bin Laden admitted that al Qaeda has been harmed by the United States. You're damned right I'm proud! Fuck with the United States at your own risk!
Posted by: Denny Wilson on November 5, 2004 12:05 PMMatthew:
A sovereign nation-- Hitler’s Third Reich was a sovereign nation. Would you have preferred we kept our hands to ourselves then?
People dying every week (maiming kids)—I suppose that you haven’t heard any of the reports about mass graves in Iraq, full of Saddam’s political opponents. It’s funny how you just discharge the millions murdered in Iraq by the former dictator from your memory so that you can poke at the Republican party who has liberated Iraq.
Spiraling into civil war—Hogwash. This is another example of selective processing. You, like so many other leftists, choose to focus on what has gone wrong in Iraq, whether than what has goner right. Jobs. Electricity. Women’s rights. Freedom of speech.
You bet I’m proud.
Your description of how we do a “cencus” of terrorism is ludicrous—and by your own definition, you have no idea whether terrorism has gone down either—when you radically insisted earlier that it was increasing. All that we know is that there have been no more terrorist attacks in the United States since Sept. 11, we have destroyed dozens of training camps, we have removed two regimes that sponsored terrorism, Arafat is on his deathbed, and bin Laden has turned to cowardly tactics to try and separate the United States on a state-by-state basis.
We know that once we kill terrorists, those terrorists are gone. And we also know that a free society (not “free” as in free to vote for Saddam or die) will never choose violence and disorder. We are training Iraqi police to deal with their own problems, and they will elect a viable government, as Afghanistan has done.
Xenophobia? Oh yes, that’s right. It’s America that has the Ministry of Culture to “keep our language pure.” It’s America that won’t allow any foreigners to come to America, find a job, and work for a living, eventually becoming full citizens. That’s right.
Desire to wipe out Islam—Actually, we just wish they’d reform it. Eliminate the violence. After all, as you and the other liberals love to chant, Christianity was violent 1000 years ago. What did we do? We reformed. Christians don’t kill each other over the Ten Commandments anymore. Judaism did the same. When Islam reforms, we will not have to combat their radical fundamentalists—they will lose their support.
Until then, we will continue to protect ourselves, and our interests.
I do know what I’ve “donne.” I’ve supported the only party in American politics that will keep me and my family safe. The majority of us here know that.
Denny—Long time reader, first time comment poster, and your stuff is great.
