MSN columnist compares AARP to Muslim terrorist!

[screembloodymurder]

Here's an example of a pot shot from one Timothy Middleton in his column on SS: "organized labor and the AARP, have gone on a jihad against privatization". This guy should be fired for this statement. I'm getting sick and tired of these off the wall comparisons of Bush's opposition as terrorist.

2. I agree this is totally outrageous......

I think Shrub might have bit of more than he chew when he went after the older folks. They aren't going to stand for this nonsense.

11. Kinda makes me long for the good old days...

...when a little friendly persuasion would have had the desired effect. And it illustrates why the unions had little choice but to form some questionable alliances in the early 20th century to roll back the power of the robber barons.

5. Hey

one man's crusade is another man's jihad

6. another example

of fearmongering and hatred/bias against Muslims by Bushco. Luckily, too many seniors like myself know what the AARP really stand for and don't believe this bs.

8. But AARP was fantastic when they supported...................

the little dictator's Medicare Prescription Drug Program. :eyes:

Don't EVER turn your back on this bunch of weasels, they'll cut your throat in a New York minute.

9. Makes sense - terrorists are tne next step down from gays in scariness

and that anti-AARP campaign trying to link them to national homophobia didn't turn out so well...

What a fool, and what a tool. I hope he gets so many outraged emails that he realizes that there is some accountability required of him after all.
